Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. II
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump.
ton you can't expect TO be

ment you will win.

from morphine on third attempt, both
of the previous attempts having been

Run Train Onto Curve at High
Speed.
Cars and Engine Reduced to
Shapeless Mass.

Charlotte. n. c.. Sept. 2S-While run
ming at high rate of speed a south
bound fast mail train on the Southern
railway jumped from a trestle 75 feet
high north of Danville. Va, Sunday Af-
ternoon and was almost demolished. OF
the crew of 16 men. including mailcar-
riers, nine were killed and seven injur-
ed. The dead:
J. A. BRODIE,engin of Placerville.

w. 7. CHAMBERS. mail clerk
d. T. FLORY, mail clerk

Frank E. Brooks, mail clerk.
Percival Indenmauer, mail clerk
Charles L. Reames. mail clerk
]. ]. Dunlap, mail clerk.
NJ c. Maupi mail clerk.
J. II. Thompson, mail clerk.
All of the injured men are severely
hurt and have been taken to the hospi-
tai in Danville. The recovery of Mail
Clerk Spiers is not expected and other
clerks are thought to be fatally injured.
The trestle where the accident occulr-
ed is 500 feet long and is on a sharp
curve. The engineer was a new man
on that division of the Southern and
thus came to the curve at high speed
The locomotive had gone only about 80
teet on the trestle when it sprang from
the track, carrying with it four mail
cars and an express car. The trestle "a
wooden structure, gave way for a space
of so feet.
At the foot of the trestIe is a, shallow
stream with IA rocky bottom. Striking
this the locomotive and the cars we've
reduced 10 mass of twisted iron and
steel and pieces of splintered wood. AS
the cars went down they scraped the
sides of the Riverside cotton mill.
Several thousand people were soon at
the scene of wreck. NO one on any OF
the cars had made an effort to jump
and the bodies of all those killed were
found in the wreckage of the different
cars to which they belonged. Women
who drove to the wreck from Danville
tainted at the sight of the crushed
bodies.
All the express matter in the express
car was destroyed. except six crates
full of canary birds. None of the birds
was hurt. though the crates were in the
thickest of the debris. All unofficial
opinions say the cause of the wreck
was the high speed of the train on the
curve.
The mail bags in all the mail cars
were torn open and the letters and
packager were scattered. but it is be-
lieved none is lost. Fire which appeared
in the wreckage shortly after it occur
red was quickly extinguished by the
Danville fire department. On account
of the wreck, ali traffic on the central
and northern divisions Of the Southern
will be delayed.
