task of inventing some safety appliance for the prevention of so many fatalities He has just succeeded and he made the first demonstration in Birmingham yes terday.
 His invention consists simply in silk and rubber lined suit of overalls with gas tight compartments on the plan of water tight compartments in ocean steamships. A secretly prepared gas pro- ducing chemical Is stored in gauge pocket in each trouser leg. An ounce of this chemical ignites and produces a suf- ficient quantity of gas to fill all the com partments in the suit in half second by rapid air friction.
 The method Is as simple as falling off a building itself. Clad in a suit of these overalls, which are as light as the ordi- nary suits of the workmen, the employe on the high buildings are absolutely safe. A fall from any distance would be fol- lowed by no inconvenience or injury. The higher the fall the safer it is for the unfortunate man. When the steel frame worker makes misstep he merely folds his arms and floats in on the next story below or lands gently across the street in the door of soft drink stand.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-04

But Toms first demonstration was not an entire success. There are one or two details yet to be worked out, which, of course, can be remedied with little diffi- culty. Tom had not accurately estimated the volume of gas that given quantity of his chemical would produce. One ounce will balance man of average weight and Tom did not take Into con sideration that he is a lightweight of about 11O pounos
 So when he jumped from the 18th story of a steel frame yesterday, he dropped for about ten feet and was then seen to shoot suddenly back up with dizzy ve- locity. In two minutes he was out of sight and a stiff March wind was carry ing him in the direction of, the Atlantic ocean.
 Nothing has been heard from him since but his friends are momentarily expect ing some word from him. The loss of his wonderful invention is considered as nothing less than a calamity by his fel- low Workmen The secret of his gas pro- ducing chemical is unknown to anyone, as he refused to take any of his friends

EXPANSION JOINT
 ON A STEEL RAIL
THE ACME OF PERFECTION IN
 RAILROAD CIVILIZATION.

Railroad officials have been taxing their memory and straining their intellectual eyes for over 40 years in order to find a perfect splice bar on a steel rail. This problem has been solved by scientific and practical skill of the inventor of this device. It fills long felt want and comes up to all the requirements for the completion of a perfect railroad bed. The glad news of this to the travel ing public will be more than appreci- ated The line on which 1t is placed will have more passengers than they can accommodate with their present track system.
 The company who adopts this device can guarantee every passenger on his ticket safely to his destination. Most accidents are caused from the follow ing causes: Broken rails, spreading rails, broken joints. or taking any part of the track up by mischievous persons. It is guaranteed to save 75 per cent of the wrecks.
 It has been estimated by the officials of one of the trunk lines that this splice bar will save enough yearly in track la bor, most of which is expended in tanyp- ing up joints. to buy all of the new rails and fastenings required in the same time. They also state that this device is next in value to the Bessemer steel rail.
 The railroad companies have always advertised their fine vestibule sleeping and dining cars and excellent service, but up to the present they have never been able to say one word about the all- important service to humanity-the track on which the massive engine passes over.
 This device Is offered to all the rail- roads marts of the world with the stan dard gauge spikeless indestructible tie.
 Estimates furnished for laying down rail with Trotter's rail chair with guarantee for the most up-to-date and the safest railroad track in the world. Satisfaction guaranteed

Trolley for Abbevine.

Anderson, Nov. Observation-Disclosures
ment was made several days ago or the
purchase of the properties OF the Ander-
son Traction Company by a syndicate
composed of the Dukes and several promi-
nent citizens of the Piedmont section OF
South Carolina. Announcement was made
today by a committee representing the
syndicate that it is the intention OF the
new purchasers to extend the Anderson
Bolton line from Bolton to Greenville, and
as soon as that is completed, a line will be
built from Greenville to ~Spartanburg, and
ultimately the line will be extended to
Greensboro, via Charlotte. It is also an
nounced that the line will be extended
southwark from Bolton to tap the Sea-
board Air Line, either at Greenwood or
Abbeviile, the latter the more probable.
A freight service will be given, as Wei as
a passenger service, and the line Will com
pete with all other steam lines. Thus
Anderson and Greenville will be given
close connection with the Carolina, Cllnch-
Field and Ohio railroad at Spar4anburg,
and with the main line Of the Seaboard
Air Line, thereby giving points in this
section ideal service and low rates. Imam
nourcing the plans of the new purchasers
the committee today sent letters TO several
prominent business men, which in part
reads.
:: 1t is the purpose of the buyers of the
Anderson Traction Company to at once
extend the line from Bolton to G~reenVllle,
and after completion of said line to extend
the system to Snartanburg, We have no
right to speak authOritatively in the mat
ter, but feel that in all probability, the
system will be rapidly extended to Green's
boro, n. g., on the north SIDE, ana some
point on the south that will put tho syss
TEN in touch with q competing railway
system that is not at present OF value TO
this and counties to the north or us, and
such connection cannot help but be Of i'm
mense advantage to this and nelghborlnS
communities. 1t is the purpose OF the
promoters of this railway system to use
electrical motive power which will be FUR
uished at d reasonable cost, but the SyS-
tenn will not be confined to a passenger
service, but will be used for both .passen-
ger and freight service and will enter into
active competition with other lines OF
railways for the business Of the communl-
ties through which it passes. The pur-
chasers of this property wish the home
people to be part owners OF the property,
and extend an invitation to you to sub
scribefor stock on exactly the same basis
as the promoters. Kindly advise at once
whether YOU wish to subscribe and the
amount, so that the committee may Y
the information in hand not later than NO
vember %. In conclusion we would urge
that while the stock has practically been
placed, it would be in the interest OF TINS
community to subscribe as literally to the
stock as each individual feels his ability to
subscribe, thereby gaining any advantage
individually that may accrue and at the
same time showing a willingness ION the
part of the community to foster an enter,
prise that evidently points. to unlimited
advantage to the community"

NEEDfUL KNOWLEDGE
Abbeville People Should Learn to De-
tect the Approach of Kidney Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
30 unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick Kidneys ex-
crete q thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scaiding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the vic
tim Is often weighed down by a feeling
of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger Of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Able,
vile proof:
I. S. Gilbert, Abbeville, s. c.,
says: For six years l suffered
from kidney complaint, the princi.
pal symptom being a constant,
dull pain in the small of my back.
I became tired easily, felt languid
and was also subject to headaches
and a blurring of my sight. The
secretions from my kidneys were
too frequent in passage and | was
forced to arise during the night on
this account. Learning of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I procured a supply
at P. B. Speeds drug store, and be-
gan their use. They relieved me
from the first and I continued TAX
ing them until a complete cure
was effected"
