Prisoner at County Jail Tries
to End His Life by Hang

Officers Arrived And Found Him
Lying on the Floor of Cell,

Hirt was arrested last spring
upon charge Of burglarizing the
0. j. Tagley store at Nymore and
has been confined ever since al
though numerous attempts were
made to secure bonds. His mind
has probably been affected by
his long confinement and brood

He had removed his suspend

his neck and the other end to an
iron bar in the cell and allowed
the weight of his body to be sus-
pended from the bar. The
weight evidently became too
heavy for the suspenders, which
broke and he fell upon the floor
of the cell and was almost uncOn-
scious when picked up by De-
putty Sheriff John Bailey.
A guard was placed in the jail
to prevent any further attempts

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to
have at hand reliable remedies
for use in cases Of accident and
and for slight injuries and all
ments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite
if not household necessity is
Cham berlain's Pain Balm. By
applying it promptly to a cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in
about one third the time usually
required, and as it is an antisep-
tic it prevents any danger Of
blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before the in
famation sets in, which insures
a quick recovery. For sale by
Barker's drug store.

will be held in the near future

Gently changed hands and become the

j. L. Rodwell, a native of Warren County,
North Carolina, is a leading spirit. Mr..
Rodwell is personally in charge of this
famous hotel.
The location of the Lexington is at 18th
and Main Streets, in the very heart of
the business section of Richmond and this
has always made it the most desirable
place at which to stop while in Richmond.
Now it is greatly improved. The new
owners have had the Building thoroughly
renovated, the rooms have been made
even more attractive, the service has been
improved and the table is unexcelled in
the South.
Mr.. Rodwell comes from one of the
most prominent families in Warren. He
has had valuable experience in the hotel

ular everywhere he is known. He is Il
loyal Tar Heel and has gathered around
him a number of employees from North

on account of the ill health OF the mil
