quisite for the success of fair" We're
allowed at the Mecklenburg fair. In
this the Mecklenburg fair was, we pre-
sumo, pretty much like the Guilford
fair But both should eliminate these
games of chance. We believe that a
perfectly successful and profitable fair
could be run without games of cnance.

Why is it that the Southern Railway

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body In Health and
 Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grand-mothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall
 It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier" tonic and cure-ali, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and large quan- tity had to be taken to get any effect.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef- offect of sulphur in palatable, concen- trated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective than tablespoonful of the crude sulphur.
 In recent years, research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart 5 Calcium Waters. They are small choco- late coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in highly concentrated effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul- phur acts directly on the liver and ex- cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material.
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. but the crudity and im- purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur. of which Stuart's Calcium Waters Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipa- ton and purify the blood in way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experimenting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the re- suits obtained from Stuart's Calcium Waters. Irl patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated car buncles, have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL though Stuart's Calcium Waters Is a pro- prietary article, and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin disease as this remedy" At any rate people who are tired of pills cathartics and so-ca1led blood "pur1ers," will find in Stuart's Calcium Waters far safer. more palatable and effective preparation.

Shepherd College Baseball Season Ends.

The last scheduled game was played
by the Shepherd College baseball club
in this place last Saturday with the
Charles Town club, and we were again
victorious, the score being 8 to L.
Unusual interest was manifested in
this game, as the home team had lost
one to the Charles Town boys in that
place recently. For four innings the
visitors were not allowed to score. In
the fifth inning, however, one run was
scored and their waning hopes were
somewhat revived. The college boys
had six runs to their credit, and the
score remained thus until the ninth
inning, when two more runs were
earned by them. With the visitors
at the bat for the last time, and two
hands out, a costly error was made,
and they succeeded in running in Six
scores, leaving the score very close,
but with only one earned run to their
credit. Young and Hooe were the
battery for Charles Town, and Morrow
and Ciendening for Shepherd College.
With this game the baseball season
for Shepherd College closed, and the
team has made for itself an excellent
record. Out of twelve games played,
nine were won and only three were
lost. Not one game was lost on the
home grounds. Morrow pitched nine
of the games, winning six of them and
striking out Ill men. Following is a
