TWO ENGINES WRECKED.
One Man Injured i'm Collision on the
A. c. l.. Yards.

Fayetteville, N. c., April 19.-Short-
ly after noon yesterday the incoming
passenger train and a light engine
crashed together on the A. q Y. divis-
ion track about the center of the curve
on Mumford street. Both engines
were wrecked, but fortunately no one
was killed.
Mr.. j.. E. Boon, who saw the two
rections, ran out on the track, and
made frantic signals to both engineers,
neither of whom could see each other.
He managed to attract their attention,
and both shut off steam, but it was
too late, and the black monsters came
together with q crash. Engineer Evans
and his colored fireman jumped just
after applying the brakes, while Cap
tain Branch and the brakeman, Robert
Garrett who were riding on the pilot.
were just able to leave it a second
before it was reduced to pulp.
Engineer Monaghan, of the passen-
ger, did not jump, and was slightly
injured. while his fireman, David Bess,
leaped just as the engines came to-
gether He was picked up uncon-
scious and was removed TO Mr.. Boon's
warehouse where it was found that he
was seriously though not fatally in
iured Besides several terrible bruises,
he suffered greatly from the shock.
Conductor Pemberton, of the pas
seager, was thrown 30 one side of his
car, and was slightly injured about the
left shoulder. None of the rest of the
train crew or any of the passengers
were hurt.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success OF Lydia {. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not Rere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter of
a century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanl<ind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant-not because it is
palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, tSained nurses who
| have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
| pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia e. Pink
| hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect a cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
| bloating Tor fiatulence). leucorrh9a,
falling, inflammation or liberation OF
the uterus. ovarian troubles, that
bearing down" feeling, dizziness,
faintness. indigestion, nervous pros
/ tration, or the blues, should take inn
mediate action to ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass,
for advice. It's free and always helpful.

WILT OF COTTON
Disease Becoming More
Prevalent Every
Year.

State Chemist b. w. Kilgore says
that the damage to the cotton crop
each year by the cotton wilt is increas-
ing, and it is almost necessary in
many counties to change the variety
of cotton grown so as to secure a
kind that is wilt resistant, this being
the only remedy for the evil. The cot
ton wilt is a disease similar to that
attacking melons and tobacco In some
sections.
The area in the State affected by
cotton wilt is gradually increasing,
new areas being reported every year.
The disease is produced by minute or
ganisms entering the roots of the plant
and clogging the circulation, thus
causing the staple to wilt and die for
want of food and water once the
organism gets into the land 1t con-
tinues to live for a considerable num-
Der of years and it is impossible to
grow cotton on the land in which II
exists.
1t is most prevalent at present in
the southeastern part of the state,
having entered from South Carolina
and is gradually working its way
northward through the eastern cotton
belt. No remedy in the way of feftlll-
cation or cultivation has been found.
Some varieties withstand the disease
much better than others. and at least
one kind has been found which is
practically wilt resistant. This is
strain of the old Jackson limbiers.
On farm in Robson county this
variety produced last year at the rate
of $40 pounds per acre of seed cot
ton where a few years ago not more
than 200 or 300 pounds were grown
of the ordinary varieties.
The only remedy known at present
is to grow a kind of cotton which will
withstand the wilt.
The Department of Agriculture has
a small quantity of wilt resistant seed
which it can send to farmers who are
troubled with wilt.

STRUCK sENsELEss BY BALL.
Mary AIRING on as a Result of
the Blow.
Especial to News and Observer

Goldsboro, n. c., April 19.-Late
yesterday afternoon While passing
along the street where some boys We're
playing baseball, Miss Mary AIRING
ton, the popular young daughter of
DIR. and Mrs. b. f. Arlington, of this

head by a swift-fyrng ball that had

fell to the ground unconscious in
which condition she has remained
ever since. She was near her home
when the accident occurred, ana

ance, and she was speedily carried to

Miss Mary is a general favorite with

pie, and the little boys in question
are 50 greatly distressed that they
will take no more pleasure in play
ing ball.
Other than Miss Mary's prolonged

THE VETERINARIAN
Will Not Respond to Calls
From Private Individ-
uaIs.

The Department of Agriculture ra-
ceives many calls for visits from the
State Veterinarian to places where
cattle and other live stock seem TO be
infected with disease. There are 10
specified rules observed by the veteri-
marian in making these visits, but as
the live stock interests of the State
are limited. A majority of the calls
are from private individuals, and he
does not respond to calls in thsee ~
stances Whenever any place where
there is an infectious dseaes makes

definite and detailed report of the dis
case and number Of cattle in the Vi
entity, and the history of the disease
in that locality
AS there seems 10 be q misunder-
standing i'll regard to his inspections,
State Vetefinal ian TAFT Butler yester-
day issued the following statement
which gives reply to question being
asked constantly in correspondence
to the departments:
The State Veterinarian does not
make visits to examine or treat live

are concerned. If he answered ali

State Veterinarian should cOmmun-
cate directly With him and stat" the
exact location of the stock; the kind

any terms, he will gladly answer by
