No Fruit This Year.
(Stanlv Enternrise !

Noldlly EilleFp11Se.)
That's what G.. w. Thomas, of Big
Lick, said to us yesterday. He says:
Il have been observing a certain sign
ever since 1868, and never knew it to
fail. 1t was the first year / began
working for the late Coffee Brooks
when he told me- to observe the smoke
on old Christmas morning (Janu-
airy 6th) to see which way the wind
came from. You must look between
day light and sun-up, and if the wind
comes from the South there will be
no fruit, except on the high sand
ridges. If from the North, there will
be a good fruit year." Mr.. Thomas
says he has observed it every wear
since 1868, and the sign has never
fooled him yet. This year, on the
morning named, the wind came from
the South, and it is easy to see that
Mr.. Thomas does rot believe we will
have any fruit. On old Christmas
morn, he says, the sun dances in rising
for an hour and a half before it be-
comes steady.

FROST AND TRADE
Distribution of Season
able Goods Retarded.
IA
Iobbing Business at Some Centers is
Good, and Retail Business Be-
comes Better Toward End
of Week.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, April 21.-Bradstreets

Trace reports are Irregular in char
acter distribution of seasonable goods
at retail being retarded by cool or
rainy weather at the West, Northwest
and South, where truck fruit, products
and young cotton are reported dam
aged by froSts. Industries, however,
are active. jobbing trade at some CEN
ters is still good and retail business to-
ward the latter end of the week be-
came more animated. Building is
brisk, money is firmer, bank clearings
have Increased heavily, prices in gem
eTal display a downward tendency,
weakness in grain and securities being
especial features Railway earnings
are still on the upgrade and western
wheat crop prospects continue favor
able, timely rains helping winter
wheat, though cold weather has delay
ed spring wheat and oats seeding and
corn blowing. While iron and steel
still continue buoyant, demand for pig
and old iron is less pronounced, and
the markets therefore presents quiet
appearance Inquiries for foreign
billets are numerous, their scarcity
here being the immediate feature in
the market. American houses are SAID
to be figuring on the construction of
iron and steel works in Japan ana
China. 1t is usually a quiet season for
jobbers, but paints, oils. lumber
plumbers supplies and building mate
rialial are active, while agricultural
implements are in good request. Here
and there industrial disturbances have
cropped up, but so far the situation in
this respect is very satisfactory.
Unreasonable weather at the East
retarded dry goods trade at retail. but
l1t6r an a good Easter business WAS
done. Wholesale trade in dry goods
has been naturally quiet Export in
quiry for cotton is good and many
makers are sold ahead we'll into 1906.
Business failures number 1S3.

THE LILEsvILLE SUSPECTS.

Connected With Robbery at Me-
AdenSville.

Charlotte, y. c., April 21.-There is
now in the possession of Detective
Scheuerle, Of the Pinkerton Agency,
evidence that goes to show that at
least one of the men in the Wadesboro
jail was connected with the safe-crack-
ing at McAdensville. This is the one
known as Connecticut Shorty" who
was so seriously wounded when the ar
rest of the two was made. This man
is said also to have been implicated in
the robbery at Heath Springs. and
also the breaking of the safe in the
postofiice at Latta, S. c.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
