The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In annmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
tho nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion, the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.

Drank Man Shaved . Woman.

Greenville, October 5.-Present-
ing an appearance CHASTITY and uu-
natural in the extreme from the fact
that her hair aud eyebrows had
been shaved off, white woman was
found yesterday in house near the
Mills mill.
She told officers who began an in
vestigation that white man, whose
name she gave, had entered her
home in state of intoxication aud
held pistol at her head while he
welded a razor, roughly denuding
her hair and eyebrows. To cap his
freakish outrage, the woman alleges,
the man clipped her eyelashes with
a pair of scissors. Policeman Hatcher
and other officers were called in, but
lno arrests have been made, pending
further inquiry.

The Negro In Battle.

Kershaw's Brigade, after it had
been brought back from the Valley
of Virginia, near Winchester, where
we mad been sent to help Gen. Jubal
Early, was placed on the left of Lees
line on the Nine Mile road. Our
extreme left was guarded by Gary's
brigade of cavalry, which was doing
picket duty. One day they were
aroused by a line of battle of negro
troops in their front, supported by a
line of white troops in rear of them.
There was nothing but ekirmish
line in front of them-those negroes
came yelling, with their white eyes
shining, shooting up in the tree tops,
and ran over this skirmish line before
any help could get to them. They
paid no attention TO the skirmishers,
but went right on yellin erich
mond !" The line of whites had
fallen back as soon as they had run
the negroes over the breastworks.
Our skirmish line turred and fired
at the negroes, but stayed at the
breastworks and let the negroes 60
on. They did not go far before they
met Gary's Cavalry coming charging
them. The negroes stampeded and
instead of taking to the woods and
underbrush, where the cavalry could
not handle their horses, like jack
rabbits they got out into the open,
where they could get good use of
their legs. They pulled their hats
off. 1t looked like negro foot race
and every negro trying to get in the
lead. They outran the cavalry fair
race and got away. You could not
make them stop running, and just
had to shoot them or let them go.
You may think you have seen
good running, but wait till you see a
stampeded negro running from a
cavalry charge and they shooting at
every step. One of the skirmishers
said a bareheaded negro passed him
and he could hear the wind whistling
in that negro's hair like wind in a
tree top, and the negro was grunting
every step he made.

The American Public Health Asso-
citation recently adopted resolutions de-
claring that the results obtained at New
Orleans show further confirmation of
the view that yellow fever is transmi tied
only by the bite of the fever infected
mosquito; that efficient defense at the
beginning of an epidemic can ouly be
established upon the basis of this doc
trine; that a successful defense depends
upon thorough understanding of the
doctrine and the support the people
may give to prompt reporting and proper
handling of all suspicious cases.

The eIrl Loaisr.

A girl loafer. That does not sound
very pretty, does it? Aud yet there
are q good many girls whom this
title fits. In other words, there are
girls who spend their time doing alb
solutely nothing. Circumstances d o
not render it necessary for them to
earn their living, and 80 they stay at
home and fritter the precious mo-
ments away in useless pursuits of
idleness. Don't good many of them
lie in bed in the morning and let
their mothers get up and get break
fast9 And don't you think they
also dress up in their best clothes
and spend the afternoons enjoying
themselves while their mothers sta y
home and prepare the evening meal ?
And when they are at home they
spend their time reading trash y
novels or trimming equally trashy
hats.
When a girl goes to & party and is
late in getting to bed she looks on it
as quite proper and natural that she
should be in bed late the next morn
ing, and all the family accepts the
fact as matter Of course. But if
the mother is up half the night with
an ailihg baby neither her lazy
daughter nor any other member of
the family seems to think it neces.
sary that she should stay in bed and
make up her broken sleep.-Phila-

Twins are Welded to Twins.

Raleigh, N. c., October 5.-A sem
sation developed in the Superior
Court here in Raleigh, which, though
serious, caused great deal of amrse-
ment. g. T.. Allen and Ennis Brog-
den, two well-known young country
men, were charged with assault with
a deadly weapon. Two brothers,
twins, Zelma and Zebba Rudd, were
in love with their cousins, also twins,
Ardell Ray and Eloise Ray. None
of the party were over 1S years old
and all were at school. Letters
were exchanged by means of a post
office in hollow tree. A discovery
was made and then the twins and
their sweethearts attempted to get
marriage licenses from Raleigh, but
relatives of the girls directed that
none be granted. Pursuit was made
by relatives and when all met there
came near being a pistol fight. Allen
and Brogden joined in the pursuit
and held up the twins at the muzzles
of pistols. Then the intending
brides and grooms were called home
to their parents and the twins were
warned never to go near the girls.
IN week they fled again, this time
procuring licenses and were married.
Allen and Brogden have been put
under bond to keep the peace. All
look like children.

A Grand History.

The following written for "Our
Janior Citizens" of San Francisco,
by g. A. Going, of Nashville, gives
a negro's view of his races history
and tells several things that many of
us did not know before
No race of people has had an older
or grander history than the negro.
He is found famous in architecture,
geometry, astronomy and music, as
well as in the older science of war!
AS an inventor he gave to the world
the alphabet as an architect he
built Ninevah, Tyre, Babylon, Thebes,
Alexandria, Carlo and Carthage. He
built the time-defying pyramids Of
Egypt and the greatest lighthouse in
the world previous to modern times.
The Carthaginians were negroes,
and they dominated the world with
their skill. The city of Tyre was
the great commercial city of the
world during it's time of greatness /;
it was what Paris now is to Europe.
The negro race has furnished US
such kings as Nimrod, Hiram, Nebu-
chadnezzer and the Ptolemies.
When it comes to skill In war, the
city of Tyre baffied Alexander the
Great for thirteen years. Hannibal
was considered one of the most ex-
pert tacticians that ever lived. And
as for wealth, none were richer than
these negro kings.
