A big raw-boned bay horse
belonging to a negro by the maine
of Winyah Knock became fright
,aed at an approaching automo-
bile out on the Providence road
late yesterday afternoon and fell
dead in it's tracks. The two col
ored women in the buggy, when
they saw the horse rear up in the
shafts and keel over, hoped out,
remarking: Didn't we have a
narrow escape?" which is con-
structei to mean that they also
came very near being frightened
to death. Charlotte Observer.

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known
as the digestive juices, and it is
through these juices that the food
We eat is acted upon in such a way
as to produce the rich, red blood
that flows through the VEINS of our
body and thereby makes us strong,
healthy and robust and it is the
weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault if We destroy our own health,
and yet it is so easy Tor any one to
put the stomach out of order. When
you need to take something take
it promptly, but take something you
know is reliable-something like

sat Mr.. Council reading till late
hours, that greatly inspired him.
He had learned to be a great ban

cided it would be better to lay
aside his banjo.
These two men agree in most
all of their undertakings, yet
they differ widely in disposition.
They are both good naturcd and
are kind to'every one they meet.
In 1908 the Appalachian Trai.
