TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
Express Agent, After Duel i'm Dark,
RoutS Three Bandits.

Mount Airy, N. c., Feb 26.-She-
riff Haynes, Of Surry county, has
been out with a posse all day looking
for three robbers, who were frus-
trated in an attempt to hold up a
Southern Railway passenger train
last night at water tank near Ara
rat station, nine miles south of here,
by Express Messenger Tom Hubbard,
who, when ordered to hold up his
hands,, threw them up only to turn
out the lights, reach for his gun and
begin shooting.
Hubbard and the robber exchang-
ed several shots before the robber
fled. Two companions of the robber,
who were in the two passenger
coaches ran off precipitately upon
fearing the shots fired in the express
car.
Ararat Is situated in a lonely spot
close to the Ararat river and just op-
posite big bluff, part of the Blue
Ridge mountains, and an ideal spot
for just such hold-up.

Intelligent Legislation.
(Fort Mill Times,)

The lower house of the Legisla-
ture has refused to appropriate $12,-
600 for the maintenance of the home
for Confederate veterans, which has
just been completed in Columbia,
upon the specious argument that
there is not a sufficient number of
old soldiers who would enter the in
stitution to warrant the expenditure
of the money. This Is far-fetched
reason for Withholding from those
old veterans who have no means of
support and no relatives to care for
them the bounty the State is justly
due them. Members Of the Legisla-
ture who opposed the appropriation
pretended to see in the institution
the means Of humiliating the vete-
rams who would become inmates
thereof, ignoring the disagreeable
fact, which Is crying shame and a
disgrace co the State, that dozens of
these old men who wore the gray are
already forced in their poverty to
live in county poor houses. Truly
the Almighty does seem to have
placed heads on the shoulders of
some people solely for the sake of
conformity.

savage thing to beat weary or starved

In treating the tagging, torpid liver It is
great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied

them In working order and SEQ how
quickly your liver will become active.

organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-

Cures Like Nature
DruQIess Treatment Restores Health While You Sleeo.

Here's a remedy that cures while
you sleep. No poisonous drugs to
swallow. No weak stomach or d.
gestive troubles due to drugging.
This remedy is Nature s medicine
electricity.
The only way to cure anything
is to help nature. Nature will cure
when she has the power. That
power is electricity. Feed it to your
nerves and they viii absorb and car
~ 1T to every organ and tissue of
the BODY, where it gives health and
vim to evey ailing part.
The reason drugs don't cure is
because they do not assist Nature.
Nature needs nourishment, strength,
something that builds up. Drugs
give no nourishment, no electricity,
not one thing that builds up vital
ity-just poison that tears down.
Ny way is the best way of apply
ing electricity. It s the only method
that has proved successful. I've had
20 years experience in treating dis
ease with electricity and I know
more about it than any other doctor
on earth. My Electro Vigor is the
result of this 20 years experience.
Eleetro-Vigor is an electric body
battery applied while you sleep. It
sends constant stream of electric
life into the nerves and vitals all
night long.
