Auto Hits Train; Three Hurt.

Savannah. Ga, July 25.-Three
men were injured-one perhaps fa-
tally-when an automobile moving
at 80 miles an hour and an engine
ON the Seaboard Air Line railway,
met at right angles just outside this
city late this afternoon.
The three men were the only occu-
pants of the automobile and were
speeding out. on the Augusta road.
The train was also moving rapidly,
being hidden from the autoistS by
buildings until within short dis
tancc Of the embarrassing towards
which each was rushing.
The engineer and the man who
was at the wheel Of the car saw the
danger simultaucouSly, but too late
for either to stop. The car was
caught by the engine pilot and was
hurled through the air. The Occu-
pants were ali thrown out and the
car wrecked.

Mrs. Clara Hines, 200 Tawnes

fifteen years ago | began to suffer
from kidney trouble, and although
| doctored extensively. obtained
only temporary relief. The dull ache
in my back was almost constant and
was often accompanied by a pain in
my sides. Dizzy spells and head
aches were Frequent, and at times
my eyesight became impaired. I was
very nervous and was bothered by
the irregular passages Of the kidney
secretions. About year ago l de-
cided to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and
obtained a box. They helped me at
once, and after using them a short
time, l was entirely relieved. Since
then my kidneys have been normal,

THAT CHARLESTON PREACHER.
DIR. Gardner Says lie is Sorry that the
Man Lives i'm South Carolina.
wood Journal.)

The Charleston News and Courier
preached Sunday evening last by the
Rev. DR.. Howard l.. Jones, pastor of
the Citadel Square Baptist church in
which he states that he will vote for
the dispensary in Charleston, and adj
viSes the members of his church to
do likewise.
This is a strange position for Il
preacher to take. We are sorry, in
deed, that he lives in South Carolina.
He will do more harm in taking such
a position than he can overcome in a
lifetime. We sincerely doubt If there
is another Baptist preacher in South
Carolina, white or colorcd, who could
be induced to take such position
and we trust that there is not ano-
ther preacher Of any denomination
who would.
The devil will certainly use DR..
Howard l.. Jones for all that he is
worth in the interest Of the sale Of
liquor for the next few weeks, and
as long as his influence lasts. which
will not be long. DR.. Jones has not
only hurt the cause, but himself. 1t
will take him a long time to get over
it.
He seems not to have had the
moral stamina to resist the whiskey
element in Charleston, and SO has
been swept by 1t far out to sea Surely
DR.. Jones is not acquainted with the
awful disgrace and prostitution
which has been brought upon our
people by the dispensary The inves-
tigation by the Legislature brought
out conditions which are appalling to
even those whose moral perceptions
are not very keen. But he ought to
have known.
We are sorry that he has commit
ted such fearful blunder and lent
his influence to the pcrpetuation of
one OF the foulest institutions that
ever existed. But God still rules and
the right will prevail in spite of such
mistakes. How a preacher could vote
for the sale Of liquor under any cir
cumstanceS, much less stand up in
his pulpit and declare that he would
so vote and advise his people to vote
for 1t is beyond our comprehension.
TO our mind the dispcnsary meth
Cd OF selling whiskey is the worst of
all methods that we have seen tried,
the old bar-room system not cX-
cepted.
We believe that the 17th day Of
August next will free Sonth Carolina
of the accurscd liquor traffic. The
people are determined to put it out.
Charleston may not vote out her dis
pensaries, but the Legislature at its
next session will pass a Statewide
bill and that will do the work

which is necessary to keep the bag
stiff. BY this arrangement it is pos
sible, the inventor believes, for the
inner bag, containing the hydrogen,
to remain slack, and so to allow for
gas expansion by solar Eradication.
If necessary, a part of the gas in the
outer or diffusion" bag may be let
out to relieve excessive pressure; the
loss does not result in the loss Of
lifting power, e'nce this gas is not

The Magic Billiard Ball
By EDMUND SMITH MIDDLETON

In the lull OF an August afternoon
Shaman Tuloc sat within the shaded
doorway of his little shop, contem-
platively smoking From time to time
a thin brown hand slowly stroked his
long gray beard, while his dark, mel
ancholy eyes looked far away into the
distance.
Presently shadow darkened the
doorway, as a well-dressed stranger
halted uncertainty and gazed curiously
within. The old merchant rose cour-
teously and with a wave OF his hand
extended q silent invitation to enter.
Seeing that the stranger still hest
tated, Shaman said in tone devoid OF
eagerness Would the gentleman
care to step in? 1t is not necessary
TO buy"
An air of distinction in the old mans
bearing, scarcely expected in such sur
roundings, excited the strangers inter-
est, and with an appreciative: Thank
you. if you don't mind he entered.
The merchant noted the young
mans eyes as they swept over his
wares with half-observant gaze, and
saw that his face wore the unsatisfied
expression of one who seeks some
thing greatly desired.
1T is not merchandise, the gentle
man seeks to-day" said Shaman, with
kindly interest, continuing to search
the others face with his far-seeing
orbs
Are you a fortune-teller?" asked
the stranger, eagerly.

moved by these glittering promises.

ITO the Commissioner OF Immigra-

], in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring Of 1898. At the time
We got of the train at Wolseley, Sask,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
We had enough money to start with, 1
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team OF
horses and one walking pillow. While
/ was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built shack and
barn Of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 20 $4,000 month.
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! ! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters Of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming IN this
country also enabled us to get rid Of a
number of horses Of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
| representing value in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, l am
proud to say that we have always
| had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
| acre; and this year, although we suf
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went q bushels to the acre
| and we had 800 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
| have about LILO acres in crop. For
| one carload of wheat which we have
| shipped a few weeks ago we got q
| price of 81 cents per bushel, and il
| graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity Of wheat which will
surely go as No. / Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had good crop.

that our Great West is the land where
