There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia. heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

MITCHELL COUNTY FLOODS.

mIlC1GLlA COON4 CAOOOos
Cor. Charlotte Observer While in
Mitchell county recently, talked
with a number of the citizens of that
county about the cloud bursts that
we're go numerous there and all along
the Blue Ridge during the recent dis
astrous flood season. These phenome-
ma, of rare occurrence heretofore, we're
so frequent during the May freshet
that they have left the mountain sides
indellbly SCARED In scores Of points in
the mountains. One gentleman IN
formed me that on one farm OF FIVE or
six hundred acres, in Mitchell county,
there are twenty places where these
"water-spouts" have swept away the
trees and soil to bed rock. On Cane
creek and Toe river numerous broad
scars are pointed out on the mountain
sides, where the mass of water sudden
ly preclpitated from the clouds has
swept great trees and boulders and the
underlying soil into the streams. Many
of the Mitchell people assert, with evi.
dent conviction, that in many in
stances these water-spouts came out OF
the earth instead of the clouds, and
that they were accompanied by noise
equal to the explosion of siege gun.
It is queer theory, but many of the
Mitchell people are ready to swear il
is correct.
A bad complexion generally results
from inactive liver and bowels. In
all such cases, DeWltt's Little Early
Rlsers produce gratifying results. E

SKULL CRACKED IN A GAME.

Smithfield Herald: AS reported in
our last issue, Mr.. Il. l.. LsMay, while
playing base ball at burlington Instl-
tute Park, was hit on the right temple
by pitched ball and dangerously hurt.
Up to Saturday morning no improve
ment had been made, and our physi-

Dickinson held consultation and de-
cided that an operation must be per-
formed before relief could be obtained.
Trephining was done over one de-
preston and over the other the skull
was found badly fractured, and the
fractured bones, two considerably sized
pieces, were removed.
