Excess
Of Smoking Affected
My Heart
So I Had To Sit Up
To Breathe.
DIR. Niles Heart Cure
Cured Ne.

There is nothing that has a more deleter-
ious effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves
than the excessive use of tobacco. Pain and
tenderness around the heart, an oppressive
feeling in the chest, choking sensation in the
throat, discomfort from sleeping on the left
side and smotherlng spells at night when the
sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms OF weak heart.
Smokers who feel these symptoms and who
do not understand their meaning should be
warned in time, by the following experience:
Il was greatly troubled with an affection
of the heart, due / think to excessive smoking.
On writing to you for advice l was directed

A Serious Wreck.

Wilmington Messenger.
Tha wreck which occurred on the
Coast Line at Lucama on Monday
night a few minutes before IL O'Clock,
was one OF the most serious that has
occurred on the Coast Line in a long
time. It was indeed fortunate that no
one lost their life In the accident.
The train wrecked was No. IS, the
Florida and West Indian Limited, and
the wreck was due to carelessness on
the part of the crew on the freight cars
standing on the main flne. It is said
that Conductor Burnett, of No. 8, the
freight, admits that he forgot all about
the passenger train. The vestibuie ap
preached Lucama at the rate of about
forty five miles per hour, and Engineer
Wacksmith saw the cars too late to re-
duce the speed OF his train to any ma
terfal extent. The fast moving train
plunged into the freight cars, which
we're loaded with fe..ilizer, with an
awful crash, turning the engine COM
pletely around and causing it to fall
into ditch near the track. Engineer
Wacksmlth and his fireman, who was
named Charles, both stuck to the en-
gine and were pulled from the debris
after the accident. A few minutes af-
tor the accident occurred the wrecked
cars caught on FIRE and the baggage
and mail car and six freight cars were
completely destroyed, and the station
which was only few yards distant, wss
also burned.
Those injured we're Engineer Louis
WacSemith, who is said to have receiv-
ed internal injuries; Fireman Charles,
T. M. Mitchell, a colored postal clerk,
and several others on the train were
| slightly injured.
DR.. Taylor, of Rocky Mount, was on
the train and looked after the imme-
diate needs of the injured. Those in.
lured were later removed to the hospi
tai at Rocky Mount.
The loss to the Coast Line is estf-
mated at from $50, 900 to 100000.

# We Knew.

If we knew what lorna were fainting
For the shades that We should fling
If we knew what lips we're parching
For the water we should bring,
We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cups OF cooling water,
Planting rows Of shading palms.
1t we knew what lives were darkened
BY some thoughtlesa word of ours
Which has ever lain among them
Like the frost smong the flowers,
Oh / with what sincere repentings-
With what anguish OF regret,
While our eyes were oyerflowing
We would say, "Forgive Forget !"
If we knew! Alas and do we
Ever care or seek to know
Whether bitter herbs or roses
In our neighborIs garden grow?
God forgive us, lest hereafter
Our hearts break to hear Him say,
Careless child, / meyer knew you
From my presence flee away"
If We knew when friends around US
Closely pressed to say, "Good-bye,"
Which among the lips that kissed US
First would meath the daisies lie,
We would clasp our arms around then
Looking on them through our tears
Tender words of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears.
