BY \ WARNING.
BY NUMBNEss, PAIN AND
 LOSS OF VITALITY.
Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and ia Cured of Attenuation and Debility
 by Dr. Wllliams' Pink Pills.

4srils1st. " sy@>@s W '----%---" - = -~--"
 A few years ago the happiness of Mrs. Lucretia A. Pember, of No. 59 Le- banon Avenue, Willimantic, Conn, was disturbed by constant fear of paraly- tic shock. An annoying numbness had appeared from time to time in her left arm and this, in connection with a generally debilitated state. she regard ed as signal of danger. It caused her great anxiety and finally led her. to adopt a course by which she was re- lieved not only from the dread of a
 shock. but also from other serious in- 'terferences with her health. She gives the followinf detailed account of her
 experience: *
 For several years was subject to a
 numbness in my left arm. It did not stay there all the time, but would go
 and come again. Sometimes there would be sharp pain. Every time it
 came 1t suggested a paralytic stroke
 and alarmed me greatly.
 This was not all, for had rheuma-
 tism in my left knee which was swollen
 and very painful, and caused me to be
 laid up in bed for a long time. I was very thin, too, and colorless and lacked vitality.
 The doctors gave me but little re- lief, and that little lasted only for a short time. So, when a relative told me about pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, was quite ready to give them a good trial.
 They certainly did wonders for me They drove away the numbness from my arm and delivered me from the fear of shock that am sure would have had if it had not been for them. They also cured my rheumatism and debility still take them in small doses as a general tonic and I cannot recommend them too strongly"
 pr. Williams Pink Pills have effected | many remarkable cures in eases oi I partial paralysis. and even such as are suddenly stricken. should not despair Those who, like Mrs. Pember. recognize | the approach of the disease. may use them with the utmost hopefulness. Dr. | Williams Pink Pills make new blood and sound health follows. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world.

GREED OF COURSE.
Nature is Doing Her Part
For Trade.
But the Horse LeeChes That Drink the
Blood Of the Workingmen
Keep Business on
Clutches.
(By the Associated Press.)

New oYrk, Aug. 5.-R. G.. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
Labor controversies are the most Sc
rlouS draw backs to recovery in bust
ness, most other important factors
tending toward improvement. Despite
some reduction in the yield of wheat
crop prospects are most encouraging
and the loss in quantity of wheat
promises to be fully offset by higher
prices, SO that the agricultural com
munities will be in position to pur-
chase commodities.
Delayed orders for iron and steel
products are being placed and at wool
5n mills there is a notable Increase IN
activity. Railway earnings in July
were only "a per cent smaller than a
year previous, and at many cities there
is evidence of returning confidence,
with little Improvement in mercan-
tile collections. But several strikes in
progress and others under considera-
ton initiate against a resumption of
normal conditions in trade and man
ufacture. In the primary market for
cotton goods the situation is without
change. Exports to China have been
the best features.
Failures this week in the United
States are $50, against IT'S the cor
week last year.

Knocked off some weather. boarding
and made hole through the house

were two clocks on the mantel One
was knocked off and the other left I'M
injured and running. From the mantel
piece it seemed to divide into two
prongs, one striking the floor and run
ming to the door on the back side of
the house, making a hole or two as it
went, and splintered a screen door in
to pieces. 1t then tore through the
floor of the back porch and entered
the ground. The other prong made
for the other door, following the floor
and behaving about as the other
prong. A little girl was sitting on the
front porch, leaning against the door
frame. The lightning shattered the
chair, ran down the girls leg and tore
hole through her shoe. She was
knocked senseless, but soon recovered
and was not much hurt. Mrs. Hoover
was on the same porch churning, and
said she saw something roll across the
floor that looked like a bali of fire.
The house was set on fire at several
places and would have burned down
but for the presence OF mind and
quick work of Mrs. Hoover, who ap-
piled water and extinguished the
flames before much damage was done.

MTLLiE EARL'S MURDERER.

Wilson, n. c., Aug. 5.-The sicken-
ing details of loathsOme crime COM
mitted by q negro on one of his own
race, have just been discovered under
the Searchlight of the law. The Sc
quel of the murder of Mile Earl,
near Whitaker's. opens with Dorsey
TiIlery and woman accomplice
named Taylor behind prison bars
without bail.
Solicitor G. c. Daniels. who assisted
Mr.. James Bum, of Rocky Mount,
in the prosecution of the slayer,
brought the story to Wilson. He said
that at the examination conducted on
the Colonel Taylor place, the negress
who aided Tfllery, went on the stand
and confessed all
She said she came upon Dorsey and
Mile in the woods struggling, the Wo-
man holding him in such n way that
he could not accomplish his purpose.
Dorsey asked the Taylor woman to
break Miles clutch She caught up
a stick and struck the woman on the
arm, apparently without effect. Then
Dorsey released his right arm and
striking Mile terrible blow knock
ed her to the earth and accomplished
his purpose. Upon this the Taylor
woman ran away. but as She left she
heard Dorsey beating the woman, and
later She learned that Mil!ic was dead.

What became of this colony IS ult-
known, and no one Will ever De aDlC
to find out There are many beautliut
traditions as to this lost colony anu
especially those beautiful ones AoL'ilu
legends there is a plausible theory tha'
among the Indians. Outside OF the9e
the colOnists were amal8alnateu WIN
the Indians; and stiu another tlIl''
thew were an murdered by the IN
dams IN Robson county NIiti
Carolina, there are Indians known as
the Croatan Indians. They are neither
Indians nor whites, but nave some
of the characteristics of both races.
The theory taken by great many
men who have studied thus question
is that these Indians are the result
of the intermlhgllhg o1 hlt5 lost
colony and the Indians OF Croatan
island. There are several proofs of
This theory, one of the most promi-
nent of which is the fact that in the
list of the colonists is found the names
SAMPSON Berry, CheVers. and many
others that exist among these indians
today, or. rather they are slightly
changed owing to provincial pronun-
citation.
These Indians have not lived in
their present home\ always; if any of
The old women, who, by the way, live
to very old ages, are asked where
they came from, they will answer
that some Old ancestor told them
that they came from over there and
point to the east.
There are about 1900 of these In
i'm bn
the characteristics of both whites and
Indians, some having dark hair and
eyes and a unprecedented skin, While
others have blue eyes, light hair and
fair skins, but all of them have the
Indians prominent cheek bone. They
never forget an injury or an insult,
and are never tired of returning q
favor. They are fond of fire water
and are dangerous when aroused, but
on the whole they make good citizens
They are mostly farmers having their
own schools, churches and ministers.
IN ante-bellum days they owned
slaves, and they made good soldiers
in four of the nations wars. The
Well-knOWn "LoWrie Gang" came
home from the civil war and went
into ambush because their aged faith
er had been courtmartialed and shot
Ivy an unjust military tribunal. This
incident shows their reyengeful ma
ture.
Almost all of he Croatans vote the
Democratic ticket and hate anything
that IS ''black," their faYorite cOlors
being red and yellow.
The theory Of their origin is only Il
theory, and the true story Of their
origin is covered with mystery and
will never be known. Whether Nir-
ginia Dare became the bride of a
duSky brave or was murdered. will
never be known until the last great
day; all is mystery concerning the
lost colony and the origin of these
Indians. The theory given above
seems to be the most plausible one,
however. of all. and is the view taken
by some men who have made most
careful study of this interesting sub
icct. Poe's line is good comment on
this subject;
