CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY
is PLEASANT TO TAKE.

The finest quality of granulated loaf
sugar is used in the manufacture OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the
roots used in its preparation give 1t a
flavor similar to maple syrup, making IT
quite pleasant to take. Mr.. w. l.. Rod
erick, of Poolesville, Md, in speaking of
this remedy says: ~ have used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy with my chill

Winter is upon Us.

After season of delightfully."- pleasant
days, though with sharp, frosty morn
ings, winter swept down upon us with
a rush Sunday night, and variety of
atmospheric and celestial phenomena has
been afforded us within the hours since
darkness set in. The day was so mild
on Sunday that snow seemed entirely out
of place. But out of an overcast sky a
thin mist of mixed rain and snow began
early in the afternoon. 1t gradually in
creased, and ut dark the snow was COM
ing fairly fast. The wind came up, and
4 northeast storm of damp snow was
fairly on. Some lightning was reported
during the evening.
The snow continued through the night,
varied with some rain, and Monday
morning there was four or five inches OF
damp snow and slush on the ground. AS
the frozen ground was smooth, sleighs
run very well, and more are out in them
than ON wheels.
About o'clock Monday morning some
of the people who were awake saw a
flash of light, followed by sound as Of
an explosion, which they are inclined to
attribute to a meteor. AS this is the
morning when the November meteors
are due, it may be that the big shower
for which scientists looked in vain for
two or three years displayed itself above
the storm. Or it may be that both the
lightning and the meteor are accounted
for BY the breaking and crossing of wires.
Great havoc has been made with the
wires by the damp snow. Wires are
down in every direction and tangled as
they never were before, and in one place
in Norway nine poles of the Eastern
Telephone Co. in a row are broken of.
The telephone service is badly democrat
lied, and the light wires are broken in
several places, putting the electric lights
out of use. The trolley wire escaped
wreckage, and the car got over about
half an hour late.
On the hills from a foot to twenty
inches of snow is reported.

Thursday afternoon about five o'clock
the village people were greatly startled
by the report that Ex- Road Commissioner
II. l.. Heath's oldest son, March, lad of
about eleven years. was drowned while
skating on the brook ice opposite the
shoe factory on Beal Street near the
Norway branch railroad. The lad was
skating with other boys when he broke
through the ice and Notwithstanding the
heroic efforts Of his comrades the cur
rent carried him towards Beal Street
and under the ice. Assistance was rem
dered a. quickly as possible but some
minutes passed before he was taken
from the water. Prompt and prolonged
medical attention proved Of no avail.
The lad was bright, winsome little fel'
low and favorite with his playmates.
The accident has throwna deep gloom
over the community. While the parents
have the sincere sympathy of the towns
people, they are nearly heartbrOken with
grief. The funeral services were held

All day the factory bore a holiday ap- pearance and the many different hands were allowed to take things compara- lively easy. .l
 During the afternoon many persons called upon Mir. Newman, some coming from as far west as Chicago and Mil waukee. These visitors were mostly relatives, as were many others who called at the factory.
 After getting a cordial greeting from MT. Newman, those who came to offer congratulations were shown through the different departments of the big plant, of which there are over twenty-four, some of them containing a number of rooms each.
 MT. White, the manager of the conn pany, said that the laundry department was one of the hottest places in the United States during the early after noon when the work was at it's height, and many of the visitors readily agreed with him. - :, E.

News From the Crops an Influential
 New York, Aug. 17.TThe news from
 the crops was an influential factor in to- days stock market, and the contin- lued flood of damage rumors from the
 northwest about spring wheat was not regarded without anxiety. The iron and steel trade situation was another legitimate ground for apprehension. The effect on stocks was more to para lyze the demand than to bring any se- were pressure to bear on the market. There was no general liquidation in evidence. The metropolitan stocks made some feverish breaks, due to
 doubts on the part of speculative hold
 CTS because of the continued failure of, lconfirmation of the merger rumors (which induced them to buy. Sugar gave evidence of elimination of a lseasonable speculation and of liquida- tion by belated holders. The feeling in
 professional speculative circles was in favor of some reaction on technical grounds.
 But still, the yielding of the general | list was very moderate. The decline of l1A in Canadian Pacific on account of How temperatures for the wheat crop l in Manitoba was an extreme movement. The lowest price for United States Steel lpreferred on the break in the price schedule for finished products was only tone-half per cent. below last night. l This was before the official admission | of the cut in price of wire. As this is lthe event which the selling for some ltime was meant to anticipate 1t was natural that here should be some cov- erfng by speculative shorts on the an- Enouncement. The recovery which re- lsuIted went far toward reassuring the disturbed sentiment in the financial dis ltrict. s.u 1 The corn and cotton carriars enjoyed | a firm undertone throughout The coal Iers, both of the hard and soft coal group, made substantial gains. Penn lsylvania railroad officials reported an extraordinary traffic in coal. The stock litself was held back by sympathy with the early heaviness in Steel, but Nor- folk and Western got the full benefit of
 these reports. The strength of Ontario
 and Western was a sustaining Influence in the anthracite group. The buying of this stock was believed to be competi- tive between the voting trust interests and the stockholders protective associ- ation. 1. a The sailing of another cargo of s1,- 750,0 ,00O of gold for San Francisco from Australia was sufficient assurance against any present disturbances of our
 money market by foreign influences.

large room at the top of the building. There are 25O men and girls employed on this floor alone.
 Tables were laid to accommodate 800 persons, all of whom could not be seated at once, and then a heavy attack was made upon the refreshments which seemed to disappear as if by magic. Three men on the third floor were kept busy handling the contents of several giant ice cream freezers.
 While this was going on Mir. Newman mounted small platform in the center of the room and made a witty and hu- morous speech which was interrupted from time to time by loud applause.
 MT. Newman advised all of the young ladies in his employ to get married as soon as possible so as to have some one who could pay their fare when they went to ,Savin Rock, for, as he said, the wonders of the White City could not be enjoyed without the outlay of consider able money. Then after making some witty remarks he. went on to say that he was the friend of the workingman, as he was a working man once himself, and for-the matter of that was one now. He hoped that the country would exper- fence prosperous times as every time he was compelled tolay off hands it wound- ed him more than he had ever been able to tell-not on account of the loss of money to himself, but on account of the man or womanwh was thrown out of work. .,,.s~- g-+. l He also stated that he was very much against trades unions. as personally he did not believe that many of the mem bers really cared to work. He declared that he could go out on the street and lplace his hands on the shoulders of men who had been Ioaf1ng for weeks, but who had S16 jobs open to them which they refused to take. He wound up by saying that he hoped that all those who he saw gathered before him would try and be happy in their different walks in life and that if they would do so that God would bless them.
 Manager White, of the company, was then called upon to speak and eulogized MT. Newman and his sons. He, was lloudly applauded. .... ?
 At the conclusion of his remarks MT. n
 Hall, the chief machinist of the com panf, was escorted to the platform as he had been very sick during the morning. He spoke of his long service with MT. Newman and of other employers for I whom he had worked, all of whom he spoke of in the highest terms, He said, however, that he had no hesitation in saying that he placed MT. Newman 1above them all. During. his long period lin his factory he had never heard an lunkind remark from MT. Newman to iany of his employees. As he stepped lfrom the platform he was cheered vehe- lmently.
 I MT. Mulcahy, a foreman, and A. New tman, also spoke. These speeches were among the best of the afternoon.
 After the speeches. singing and gen leral good time followed.
 Mr. Newman is staunch republican lin national politics, and with his sons Iexpects to cast, his vote for President Roosevelt next November.

Brakeman Shot BY Flagman.

Columbia State, Thursday: At King
Vile yesterday Bomar Whisonant af-
ter engaging John Mickle in a fisticuff,
went to the cab, secured a pistol and
while Mickle was in the act Of coupling
cars. shot him, the ball passing through
the left leg above the knee. Mickle was
brought to Columbia last night and
carried to Surgeon Kendalrs office,
where the wound was attended to.
Bomar Whisonant Is a fiagman on the
Southern's freight running from
Blacksburg to Kingville, and Mickle Is
brakeman on the Southern between
Columbia and Charleston. The two
trains on which they run meet at
Kingville late in the afternoon. Yes
terday the employees had a fisticuff
about very trivial matter which was
settled with satisfaction to both, as
every one thought, and Mickle went
about his business coupling cars when
he was shot from the rear. He was
standing sidewise between the cars.
1t is said that Whisonant Immediately
after the fight went to the cab of his
train and returned with pistol in hand.
Mickle was put on his train and
brought to Columbia, his home. Whis-
onant's train pulled out from King
vile a few minutes after the shooting
and he boarded it, avoiding arrest. 1t
Is supposed that the conductor had him
arrested at Blacksburg.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Another candidate for sheriff today,
and there are rumors Of more to come.
There was quite a severe hailstorm
over a belt Of country six miles north
west Of Yorkville last Saturday after
noon and much damage was done to
the growing crops, especially corn and
cotton.
The big eagle previously referred to
as having been killed by Mr.. Faris near
Bethany, and stuffed by Mr.. Hartman
Of Charlotte, has been received at THE
ENQUIRER office, and Is now to be seen
suspended from the ceiling in the atti-
tude of flight. People who have seen
the bird pronounce it to be an unus-
ually fine specimen and all agree that
1t has been we'll handled by the taxi
dermist.
The farmers in the neighborhood of
Blairsville and Sharon are in especially
fine spirits. They have had abundant
rains all along and have kept up with
their crops nicely. Wheat harvest has
been in progress for some days, and 1t
develops that the crop Is unusually
fine. One farmer at Blairsville, who
has always been successful as a wheat
raiser, says his crop this year Is the
best he has ever raised. He fortunate
ly had a. full crop sown. Generally the
acreage is quite small.

was rescued. Then he swan to save
a sinking child, and was sinking ex-
hausted when a boats crew, by super
human effort reached him and took
him on board. An eighteen-year-old
nurse at the hospital on Brother island,
threw off her skirt and shoes and
swan out into the river five times to
rescue floating children. She was
presently seized by a powerful woman,
and battled bravely to save the wo-
mans life until she was almost
drowned. Finally, unable to save the
woman, who was too heavy for her, she
sank to the bottom near the shore and
was dragged unconscious from the
water by fellow-nurses and hospital
attendants who waded out into the
stream for the purpose. These are
but a few incidents. There were many
others Of cowardice and heroism; but
these illustrate the manner in which
the unfortunate people acted
