In Memory Of Miss Sarah ELENA Fowler.

On Tuesday, August %, 1904, at 1890
p. M, the angel of death visited our
home, and God saw fit, in His All-wise
Providence, to take to Himself, to live
with the redeemed and sing His praise
forever, the one who was the light of
our home. She was the darling of our
hearts, as she had been in delicate health
all her life. But we will be submissive
to Gods holy will. ELENA was born in
Jackson county, North Carolina, near
Glennville, March 9Th, 1897. She gave
her heart to God and united with the
Wesleyan Methodist church at Piedmont,
S. c., at the age of Is. Fer remains
were inferred at the Neville burying
ground on August oath, after appropri-
ate funeral services conducted by Rev.
John T. Carey.

Seven Killed, Two Fatally injured ard Thirty
Hurt-Fou. Play Charged.

Rock HILL, September O. Seaboard
passenger train No. Al, known as the Sea-
board Express, en- route from Norfolk to
Atlanta, plunged through 25-foot
trestle this morning about 1.30 O'Clock
three hundred yards South of the Catawba
river bridge, and niue miles from this
place. Seven persons were killed and
about 25 injured. The train consisted of
an engine, mail car, baggage, fret and
second class coaches and a Pullman.
There were 90 persons on the train, not
including the crew. Nota person aboard
the whole train escaped injury, though
many were only slightly bruised The
train ia said to have been running at a
high rate of speed when it left the
bridge.
Damaging evidence has been discovered
by the railroad officials, who are conf
dent that the wreck was caused by the
removal of fish plates and spikes from
the right hand rail of the trestle with
malicious intent. When daylight broke
this morning fish plates and spikes were
found on the side of the embankment
just at the south end of the trestle,
which indicated that wreckers had been
at work.
FREIGHT ADDS TO HORROR.
To add TO the horror of the situation,
freight train, following ten minutes be-
hind the passenger, crashed into the
yawning abyss and ploughed the debris
under which were mutilated bodies and
imprisoned victims screaming for help.
The lights in tho train were fortunately
extinguished by the dizzy fall through
space, otherwise more horrible tragedy
might have been enacted by fire. In the
darkness, following the crash, came
screams of terror and piteous cries for
assistance. Those who we're not i'm
prisoned or too badly injured, responded
heroically to the rescue and worked for
hours in the wreck extricating men, wo-
men and children.
The train left Catawba Junction on
time, crossed the long steel river bridge
and then the engineer opened the throt.
tie and started on his long run to At
lanta. Winding around the curve from
the river, the engine whizzed the train
LONG, the wheels turning faster aud
.aster as the momentum increased. The
engineer felt no anxiety AS he approached
the long trestle just 800 yards south of
the river. for he knew it was one Of the
best structures along the road, having
just been rebuilt twelve months ago and
since then regularly inspected. The
trestle contained twenty nine spans and
was an average height of twenty-five
feet. The first twenty spans oi the tres
tie were passed in safety. Then came
jolt, plunge-a terrific rearing and roll
ing. The engine was off the track but
did not leave the bridge, dashing along
over the cross ties, reaching the south
end of the trestle in safety and then
turning to one side plunging down the
embankment. The balance of the train
crashed through the bridge. Like some
monster gone mad, the engine that was
following the passenger rushed to the
abyss and plunged headlong into the
debris.

Equally remarkable is the fact that

The popularity of poque is that after
the cards are dealt and each player
has taken from the common pool the
counter for the rank of the highest
cards held he is at liberty to bet upon
the various combinations of cards he
holds-triplets. pairs, etc. In the
French descriptions of the game we are
told that player opened the betting
by saying, ''Je poque dun jeton," or
two chips, or as many as he pleased,
and than then the others could
see him. raise him or drop out in
their turn.
In the German game pochen, as it is
played to-day, we find exactly. the
same expression still in use, Itch poche
eins,' or as many chips as the player
cares to venture, and the answer of
the player entering the betting against
the opener is invariably, Itch poche
NIT" Both poque and pochen are play
ed with the piquet pack-32 cards.
Now, it is very curious that in the
English translation of this Academic
des Jeux," and in all the English de-
scriptions of the game of poque, we
find the players are instructed to say
in English, 81 poque for so much -
and the following players are to re-
spond, Il poque against you"
Show this word ''poque" to any or
binary English-speaking person not ac-
quainted with French and he would
undoubtedly separate it into two syl-
tables and call po-que. In the German
the word poche is already as near
poker as the vowel sound will adj
nit.
What more natural than that a resi-
dent of New Orleans of French birth
or extraction already familiar with the
name Of poQue, and seeing asands
played for the first time, should use
the expression "Je poque dun jeton, y
etc, and that the English or German
speaking person adopting the game
should say, II po-que?"
From this it is a short step to drop
the curious and difficult foreign name
of asands altogether and call the
game poque and later to spell it
poker.

of her parents and mine.
About two months later we sepa-

but what was the cause OF your
parting?" was asked.
That is something which we have
always kept to ourselves. and is a
matter which neither of US has ever
referred to. 1t is a personal subject
and one that would not interest the
public, since it concerned only our
selves. 1t is a fact that we agreed TO

balls eyesight failed her considerably
and she was unable, to look after her
business. She relied upon Mrs. Culliton,
her neighbor across the street, for many
things. and this is the reason Mrs.
Culliton was chosen to be her trustee
and executrix. One who has known
her for many years says that she never
heard her mention Mr.. Whittemore in
all that time until a few weeks be-
fore her last illness. Then she wrote
his name on some cards attached to
some Of her personal belongings that
she desired should be given to him.

BLOOD CELLS.
IN HEALTH.


Man is millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is FIVE million; IN women four
and half million, to the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mill
lions of rich red blood corpuscles If they
only know how TO go about it. DR.. K. v.
Pierce, consulting physician to the lnva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute. at Buff
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for a long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the FIRST place, If your
digestion is faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need tonic and diges-
tive corector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract Of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use Of alco-
hol, would put the liver lungs and heart
into fuSer and more complete action This
medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, II nourishes the blood, and, in
stead Of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per-
son's blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuseies are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry Of the starved
nerves for food and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person ioses
those irritable Feelings, sleeps well At night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
