VIC. MUST PAY DAMAGES.
United States Supreme Court Decides
In Favor Of j. p. Kerven in Sui,
Against Virginia. Carolina.

Against Virginia Carolina.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company will have
to pay j. p. Kerven Of Darlington
county for the damage done to his
crops by injurious fertilizer. Mr.. Ker-
ven sued the company in Darlington
county and got judgment, although
the company had previously got judg-
ment in the United States Circuit
Court against Kerven for defualt in
payment Of his notes.
The Supreme Court Of South Caro-
lima was equally divided upon the
question whether the court at Dar-
lington should have given Judgment
when the United States Circuit Court
had already acted in the case.
This meant that the lower courts
judgment was sustained.
The chemical company appealed to
the United States Supreme Court,
which today sustained the Judgment
and decided that the chemical COM
pany must pay the damages to Mr..
Kerven.

One Freight Train Side-Swdped by
Another While Entering Switch.
Florence. Dec. J5.-There was quite
bad freight wreck at Cade's. thirty
miles south Of Florence on the north
eastern division Of the Coast Line. at
. o'clock this morning, In which an
extra freight going south was side
swiped by the engine Of northbound
through freight, No. 212. Engineers
Granting and Wells were at the
throttle. and Conductors Dennis and
Lamb In charge Of the trains. Extra
southbound freight was pulling in the
switch on the pass track when No.
212 struck 1t, and the engine of No.
212 was derailed and turned broad
side In the ditch. Immediately after
the collision the wreckage took fire
from one Of the locomotives and the
hox cars and one engine were burned
and damaged by the flames. The only
person hurt was John Carr, one of
the firemen, and he only slightly. All
trains, north and south, today have
been detoured over the Central and

A BALD HEADED WOMAN.
Shum Of Her Grown Of Beauty Loses In
Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry a
bald headed woman What charms
could one array to Offset such a disfgure-
meDt ?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet,
right here in Randolph and Bethel, there
are thousands of women who are neglect
ing or iniuring their hair to such an ex-
tent that it is only a matter of time when
it will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty OF
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance OF certain facts. They use
curling irons overheated, or to excess,
which destroys the natural oil OF the hair,
causing it to split, break and come out.
They do not shampoo their hair often
enough, OF too often. They use soaps or
preparations which contain ingredients
positively harmful to the scalp and hair.
As result OF such treatment, dandrun
IL created, the hair loosens, loses color,
falls out, and badness commences, un-
less proper and prompt precautions are
taken in time. Then again, microbes
and certain diseases bring about I'M
healthy scalp and hair conditions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves oil
dandruH and diseased scalp and hair il
they will but use the right remedy. We
have that remedy and we will positively
guarantee that 1t will either cure dandrun
and badness or 1t will not cost the usel
anything.
That's q pretty broad statement, but We
> will back it and prove it with our own
money. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is the
remedy that will grow hair and overcome
all scalp and hair troubles. 1t will grow
hair even on bald heads, unless all life
in the hair roots has been extinguished,
the follicles closed, and the scalp il
glazed and shiny. 1t gets it's name from
the fact that it grew hais in SO out OF 10C
cases, where it received a thoroughly
hard, impartial and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall "93'' Hail
Tonic at our risk. You surely cannot
lose anything by doing so, while yor
have everything to gain. You hac
better think this over, and then come IL
and see us about this offer. You will b
well repaid for your visit to our store

DOG RIVER VALLEY FAIR.
5000 or 6. 900 10 Attendance Wednes-
day.--Some Fast Horses.

QaHs--SOmG = asst rNOF8G8s
Dog River Valley fair at Mortified last
week was the usual big success. The
trotting, exhibits and attendance were
batter than the average, though not quite
so big crowds as last year. The Ferris
wheel, merry -go-round, dancing pavilion
and a big array of bucksters and eating
tents all did fourishing business.
Ideal weather prevailed Wednesday for
the second day of the fair, and the crowd
was variously estimated at from 5000 to
5000 people. There were three races,
the most interesting Of which was the
2. 20 pace and 2.26 trot in which there
was one dead heat, Mona Maid and
Winona c. coming under the wire neck
and neck. The latter horse finally took
the race after five heats BY spurts of
speed on the last quarter which brought
the grand stand to its feet. The winning
horse came in fifth in the second heat,
owing to a broken sulky tire.
Ed. SunderlIn, the well known driver
OF national reputation, who has figured
in two rather bad accidents in the last
few years, had another narrow escape
that afternoon. In the second heat OF
the 2 IS class race the horse he was driv-
ing, The Outlaw. owned by Page
Brothers OF Barre, stumbled on the three
quarters and turned a complete somer-
sault. Sunderlin was thrown in a heap
on the track and barely had time to crawl
to the fence to avoid being run down by
a couple of horses following. The horse
landed in the grass BY the track, tangled
in the harness, and it was thought by
many witnesses OF the accident that he
was dead but when he got out Of the
snarl it was found that be had escaped
unhurt. he finished the race and gained
one place in the following heat.
The balloon ascension and parachute
drop about 4:30 was one Of the finest seen
in this vicinity. The drop was made
within the circle of the fair ground fence
and was a spectacular affair as the para
chute did not open for some time after
the aeronaut had cut OF and the release
of bogus parachute made it appear for
a minute as though an accident had
occurred. The Norwich cadets, led by
the band which that organization now
supports, gave an exhibition OF Butts drill
and another feature was the appearance
OF the cavalry in a few manoeuvres on
the track.
The results OF the races were as follows
