A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate with its sudden
changes of temperature wind and
sunshine often intermingle in single day
1T is no wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken from
US by neglected colds, half the deaths re-
sulting directly from this cause. A bottle
of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent seri-
Gus sickness, large doctors bill and per-
haps death by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any
disease of the Throat or Lungs its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist will
tell YOU. Get a sample bottle free from NJ.

Don't Pay a High Rate of Insurance.

This is the advice given by X. 5.
McCoin in his advertisement which
appears elsewhere in this paper, and
it is advice which should not need to
be repeated to the wise and prudent
business man. Mr. McCoin is agent
for the Greensboro companies, the
Southern Stock Mutual, Underwriters
and Southern Loan and Trust Com
pany and will write insurance at the
old rate-without the advance OF 20
per cent. demanded by the South
eastern Tariff Association.
Persons who are familiar with the
insurance situation in North Caro-
lima do not need to be told that these
are independent companies having
no connection with the Southeastern
Tariff Association. And because
they refuse to be dictated to and in
crease their rate 25 per cent. as de-
manded by the Insurance Trust a
vigorous fight is being made against
them. But they are prepared to
meet it and an interesting contest is
on.
Mr.. McCoin will be pleased to talk
insurance, quote rates, show the
| standing in the insurance world and
explain the position Of the Greens
boro companies with regard to the
Southeastern Tariff Association tic
any who are interested.

Child Hurt by Train.

A little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Davis. aged about two and one-half
years, was seriously hurt on the
Durham & Northern Railroad near
their home a mile or two out of town
Saturday morning. The little fellow
had gone with the children to the can
taloupe patch and becoming separated
from them, presumably in following
the larger ones who had gone to take
the cows to the pasture, he wandered
to the railroad track and was there
when the train came along going to
Durham. The engineer saw a small
object on the side of the track but
not until he was upon it did he real
ize that it was a human being. The
child was struck by the engine and
knocked from the track. He was bad
ly cut about the forehead and the
skull was fractured besides receiving
other in iuries. At first it was feared
that the little fellow was fatally hurt
but he is living and getting along
very well.

Wade Mecum Springs.

The popularity of Wade Mecum
Springs as both health and pleasure
resort has been quite remarkable from
the beginning. Last season accom-
modations were inadequate to enter
tain the large crowds who fiocked
there. This season with greatly in
creased hotel facilities the attend
ance has been still greater. At the
opening ball June 21st, which was a
brilliant affair, there were $50 guests.
Indeed, Wade Mecum Springs seem
to have had remarkable beginning.
As another expressed it there seems
to be something in and behind this
Wade Mecum movement beyond the
ordinary. Their water is marketed
widely, they have scenery and climate
that astonish all who visit the Saura-
towns. They have acquired thousands
of acres of land and the money seems
to be forthcoming to make this the
first watering place in the land. A
geological garden and a system of
turnpike roads are announced as a
part of the immediate development.
