Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1907-10-16

Thomas A. Eddison, the great
American inventor, says Fully
eighty per cent. of the illness of
mankind comes from eating i'm
proper food or to much food; peo-
pie are inclined to over-indulge
themselves" This is where indi-
gestion finds it's beginning in near
ly every case. The stomach can
do just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it,
or when you eat the wrong kind
of food, the digestive organs can
not possibly DO the work demand
ed of them. 1t is at such times
that the stomach needs help; it
demands help, and warns you by
headaches, belching, sour stom-
ach, nausea and indigestion. You
should attend to this at once by
taking something that will actual
ly do the work for the stomach.
Kodol will do this. 1t is a COM
bination Of natural digestants and
vegetable acids and contains the
same juices found in healthy
stomach. It is pleasant to take.
It digests what you eat. Sold by
James Plummer and all druggists.

Pass This Fraud Along.

DR.. K. V. Millard, who came
here about ten days ago posing as
a Baptist preacher, has been run
out of town. A letter was received
yesterday from the Dorchester
county authorities telling of his
record. It seems that he DESERT
ed his wife and family out West
a few years ago and came to Dor
chester county where he again
married. He was put in Jail there
but was released and had not been
heard of since.
He came to Easley about ten
days ago and sought call of the
Second Baptist church here.
They were thinking of calling
him, when this letter came to
Rev. D. W. Hit telling him that
Millard was an impostor.
He lectured last Sunday in the
Methodist church on ''Joshua in
Egypt" He claims to have been
all over Egypt as we'll as Europe,
but none of this is believed. He
painted in eloquent terms the
great curse Mohammedanism is
to Egypt and the sad picture of
wives deserted by their husbands
and within a few days he was
driven out of town for the same
thing.
He spent most of the week in
Pickens trying to secure call
near that town. He and his wife
left on No, IL yesterday for parts
unknown.-Easley special to

ers will recall Jack Morford, who
came to Statesville some years
ago and married a daughter of
DR.. Bass, the veterinary surgeon.
Morford was dissipated and was
often in trouble and the police
court.A few months ago he died in
Asheville. Morford had always told
his friends here that his family
perished in the Galveston flood
Through letters received after
Morford's death DR.. Bass learned
that his name was not Morford
but Sidney Payne Arnold and
that his parents lived in Houston
Texas. Being advised of thei1
sons death they asked that hil
wife and child be sent to them

CHRISTiANA AND GRANITE QUARRY.
Fire Desfroyes Buildings and Most Of Their
Contents. Little Insurance.


Oct. 14.-There was no preach
ing at Christiana last Sunday,
Oct. 13, as was advertised. A
large concourse of people had
gathered to hear the Rev. ]. H.
Fesperman preach, but the ap.
pointed time rolled round and
passed, but he did not arrive. ]
suppose sickness was the cause,
as Mr.. Fesperman was almost
under the weather Saturday.
Several from Our community

Junius M. Lyer1y has accepted
a position with the Southern
Railway Co. in Wexford, S. c..
He will leave about the goth for
Wexford where he will work in
the depot.
The s1umbering little village
of Granite Quarry was awakened
directly after midnight last
Thursday, Oct. 10th, to find a
vast cloud of smoke and fire as
cending from the very heart of
the town. The home OF J. W.
Rector was ablaze. Scarcely had
Mr.. and Mrs. Rector fled from
the burning house with their
babe before it fell in. By this
time the town was rousing, and
busy hands we're soon at work.
The flames spread to L. L. Wal
tons residence and then to the
postoffice. The work of the fire
was so quick that scarcely any
thing was saved. Mr.. Rector
was completely burned out. Mr..
Walton saved few articles. Mr..
Brown saved most of the, contents
of the postoffice and part of the
contents of his store. The loss
was partly covered by insurance,
though Mr.. Rector had no in
surance on his property.
Mr.. Lyerly's new residence in
Granity Quarry is about COM
pleted.
Rev. R. L. Brown, while pre-
pairing to retire fell and sprained
his back. We trust the injury is
not of a serious nature.

of Thomasville. The suit has
been expected sine July, at which
time sensational rumors of a scan
dal were current. The papers
have been served and filed in the
clerks Office. DR.. Mock was re-
quired to give bond in the sum of
$25, 900, which he gave with him
self and Mrs. M. McIntyre, his
mother, as sureties. The case will
probably come up at the Novem-
Der term of civil court, but may
not be tried till February term
The plaintiff for a year or two has
engaged IN the furniture business
at Thomasville, but originally
came from Mt. Airy. His wife
was Miss Carrie Wood, of Green's
boro, a daughter of W. W. Wood.
The defendant is a well-known
physician, of Thomasville, where
he has practiced many years.
The allegations set forth in the
affidavit are that beginning with
July 18th, the defendant, who was
the family physician of the Full
tons, so conducted himself as to
ALLEVIATE and destroy the affections
of the plaintiffs wife, and that
the plaintiff has been deprived OF
and has wholly lost the comfort,
society, aid and assistance of his
wife in domestic affairs.

His Dear Old Mother.

NOTES ABOUT THE FAIR,
What Is Being Done and What Those Who
Attend May Expect to See,

The completion of the p1an'
for the big fair are now being
given daily attention by the
management.
Arrangements have been made
with Ed. R. Hutchinson, ar
aeronaut, of considerable note, to
give a free balloon ascention and
parachute leap each day.
1t is stated that the Kemp
Sisters wild west shows are tn
der contract to give two free
exhibitions each day of an hour
each.
Secretary Witherspoon went tc
Lynchburg to attend the big fair
there and to secure such attrac.
tions possible for the Yadkin
Valley Fair here. He succeeded
in booking a number of the most
meritorious and the prsmise of
some fast horses to enter the
races. AS the racing seems to
be leading feature this is par
ticularly gratifying to those in
terested in this sport.
The branch railroad into the
fair grounds, which was COM
pleted Friday evening of last
week, marked an epoch in the
great preparations. Mr.. Wassom,
who had charge of the roads
construction, delighted the fair
management with the skill and
rapidity of the work. They are
unanimous in believing him the
best track builder in the State.
Amongithe vehicles to be on
exhibition will be one made by
W. M. Barker many years ago
and exhibited at the fairs held
here in the early seventies. The
carriage was first owned by J. e..
Heilig, but is now the property
of the irrepressible R. Jap. Hal
tom, who recently purchased it
for the sum of three bucks. It
"aire hissen'' and he will ride in
it around about the grounds dur
ing the fair. 1t originally sold
for $3.50.
Among other things it would
be advisable to lookout for pick
pockets. Don't bring any more
money than you actually need,
but should you do so don't show
it around. Keep it in a secret
pocket if possible and beware of
strange men who attempt to be
familiar with you. Pickpockets
we're thick at the Winston fair
last week and there will be a
plenty of them here. Keep awake.

the prohibited juice in his possess
sion, and his case was set for trial
Monday. He was represented by
L. 7. Hartsell, and the prosecution
by W. G, Means. Boyer says he
brought in the whiskey for his
own use and the use of the men,
bers of his family. The law, how
ever, makes the possession of more
than quart prima facie evidence
that it Is for the purpose of being
sold illegally, and under the law

products of the coast of Labrador,
Gormed from the ice fields that had
e8iEed the indentations of that coast

come from further north in the vicin-
ETY. of Bafin Land, those of August
come from still further north, and
Enough fewer in number than those
sf the earlier summer, are larger in
Individuality. From the coast of
