A TRAINED NURSE After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
 Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark. N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon.
 Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source.
 Mrs, Pohlman writes:
 "I am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use.

A PECULIAR MURDER.
Negro Said to Have Been Flung
Against Rapidly Moving Train.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury, N. c., May 2.-Since Sat
urday night mystery has surrounded
the killing of John Watson, acolored,
of this city, though at first his death
seemed to have resulted from a blow
from passing train on the yards
here. Later, however, Coroner
Dorsett held an inquest at which a
chain of evidence was woven around
Calvin Cowan, cOlored, who has been
landed in Rowan Jail, on the charge
of murder. 1t appears that Cowan, who
had a grudge against Watson took a
peculiar advantage of his victim by
throwing him against a rapidly NOV
ing train, near which the men were
walking. Watson was found dead
after the train had passed and Cow
an had fed. This is the second
mysterious murder which Salisbury
has witnessed within a year, there
being no clue as to the murderer of
young Jack Canup, who was shot to
death while acting as night watch
man on the lumber yards of c. A.
Rice, last week.
