WRECK AT \. G. l.. STATION.
Passengers Joitcd and Two Box Cars
Smashed; Caused by Split Switch.

From The Daily Item, March II.
Two box cars were smashed beyond
repair, the passengers on the second
train to Columbia were jolted up and
considerable excitement was created
in the a. G. l.. passenger station yard
today about twelve O'Clock when a
split switch caused several box cars
to leave the track and run into the
engine of the Columbia train.
Had it not been for the quick ac-
ton Of Engineer Eeeley, who saw the
wreck, 1t is probable that some Of
the passengers would have been hurt.
AS it was as soon as he saw the ac-
cident in front of his engine he at
once started to run his engine back
and saved it from the severe blow
1t would otherwise have suffered.
The Columbia train had come in
few minutes before and was waiting
on the yard in front of the passenger
station taking on express when the
switch at the water tank split under
some cars which were being backed
on the last track and as q result one of
the cars took the right track and the
other two cars took the other track
on which the Columbia train was
standing. The engine backing the
cars was a shifting engine and had
not sufficient brakes on it to stop the
cars Immediately after they left the
track The ground was plowcd up
for about one hundred feet before the
cars running between the two tracks
hit the engine OF the Columbia train
causing the jolt to the passengers
| that made them wonder what was the
matter.
No one was seriously hurt, although
the passengers were made somewhat
nervous when they heard what a mar
row escape they had had, and the
engineer and fireman were somewhat
excited themselves at the close call
they had had. The sides were brok-
en- on the two box cars and all of
the wheels were Knocked from their
positions. The third car piled up on
the other two, but it was not damag-
ed to any extent.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

II people were born right and after
yards lived right, there would be no
&c for medicine. Every doctor knows
is. So do other Wcll-ipformed people.
One thing more. When a person lives
T'rongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
'credity, medicine can do only very
.'stle. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
>aarlatans claim that medicines will
are disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
covers Of Nature to resist disease. Med
Scines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
:uman body to right itself against de-
engagements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
hnger in his mouth, then blows on it
!or the cooling effect. This is no cure.
lie knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwiscly. This produces
dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
palliative is at hand the pains of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes Of
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine cam
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
paiiiates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
tO &c fn
ma will increase the flow Of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. 1t will increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
1t is admitted that all this caA be
accomplished by right living, but tesre
are so many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly Gl.at
q tremendous amount Of good cc& Ie
done by the wise use OF Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges-
ton very Iazily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation of the food. Sour stom-
nch Is the result. This goes on week
sitter week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products Of fermentation. This
condition is very apt to produce rheum-
Stism.
1t is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correct living. Eut it is
claimed that Peruna viii assist badly
"bused stomach to perform it's work.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1911-03-15

IT a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude Of people who will not or cam
not adopt right methods Of living. To
such people Pcruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness,
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
OF the horse to pull load, but Judi
clous!y used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect Of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys.
ten. Taken at the right time, it calls
iorth the powers Of the human system
TO meet the en-. roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends.
the diseased action.
NO one should ever attempt 10 substi-
tute medicine in the place Of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
Is godserd, and no reasonable person
will undertake TO deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find it Of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all Will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec-
tion in which all medicine will be elm.
mated, Peruna is a handy remedy to
have in tho house.
Slight arrangements of tho stomach;
| slight catarrhal attacks of the liver. the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use Of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read few un-
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con-
corning it. If so, address the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus.
Ohio. and we will send some prepaid.

All OF the officers in the National
Guard in town this morning received
communications from the Adjutant
Generals Office inquiring if they were
willing and anxious To go to the
Mexican border where the United
States troops were now being con-
centrated. They were to Sive their
reply by the 18th.
without exception the officers Of
Company l., Of the Second Regiment,

cepting the offer and stating that
they were anxious to attend the
manoeuvers. Maj. ]. w. Bradford
and Lieut.. Gallagher also sent in
their acceptance of the offer.
The statement sent out from head
quarters stated that they would have
to stay on the frontier from one to
three months. 1t is probable that all
of those willing to go cannot be sent
and that recommendation and ap-
pointments will be made from those
who are anxious to go with the army.
Many Of the enlisted men in the
company are wishing that they were
officers so that they could also get
the chance to go.
Those who have expressed their
willingness and wish TO go are:
Maj. ]. w. Bradford, Lieut.. p. j.
Gallagher, Capt. G.. c. Warren and
Lieuts. p. NJ. Brown and Wayne

like to take the trip and get the ex-
perience.
A phone message was received
about l o'clock today by Major Brad
ford asking that he find out the Off
GERS who were willing to go and let
the department know at once. He
phoned back a few minutes later
the names Of the officers who were
anxious to go. The first communica-
tion had stated that the reply must be
