J. BYRD OLIVER

In INDIAN CREEK
Son of Former Senator Up
set in Deep Stream at
Midnight.
RESCUED HANGING TO
LOG IN THE CURRENT
Herse, FOrding Creek, Steps in
Deep Hole-Buggy Carried
Away.

John Byrd Oliver, a son of R. B.
Oliver of this city, came nearly being
drowned Sunday night while fording
Indian Creek near Neely's Landing.
Mr.. Oliver, who lives on a farm a
short distance from Neely's Landing,
had called on Miss Gusta Woods,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ]. Woods,
and it was midnight before he started
for his home.
He was riding in buggy and enter
ed the creek only a short distance
from the Woods home. The horse de-
waited from the regular ford and step
ped into a deep hole of water. The
swift current upset the buggy and
hurled Oliver, who could not swim, in
to the stream.
He endeavored to seize hold of the
horse in the belief that it would pull
him out of the water, but missed the
object and started floating down the

when he collided with a log fastened
near the middle of the stream, and
grabbed it.
Then he began calling for help. Miss
Woods heard his cry for aid, and
knowing that Guy Wright lived near
est to the scene of the accident, at
tempted to notify Wright by tele-
phone. An error of signals called ].
E. Mcdowell, who lives two miles from
from the scene of the accident, to the
phone. Without inquiring the name Of
the party at the other end Of the line,
Miss Woods shouted: BYRD is drown
ing in the creek, help him quick"
Believing that someone was at
tempting to play joke upon him,
Mcdowell, answered: Cali right, I'll

give Byrd a lift" and then retired.
The mother of Mcdowell, who had
heard the message from another tele-
phone, knew that mistake had been
made and she telephoned to Wright.
Mr.. Wright responded quickly and
then hastenetto the creek. When he
reached the scene he found Oliver al
most exhausted and nearly drowned.
Wright plunged into the creek and
rescued the young man, swimming to
the bank with Oliver on his back.
Then Mr.. Wright went to the res
cue of the horse, which had become
entangled in some debris and was in
a precarious position. He swan to the
horse and cut the harness from him,
then returned to the bank. After his
first effort he discovered that he had
not liberated the animal, and he went
to the rescue again. The second at
tempt was also futile and he made
third effort, this time setting the an
imal free.
The horse had been struggling for
almost half an hour in the water and
had been drawn under several times.
The animal was just able to swim to
shore when finally cut loose from the
buggy.
The vehicle was carried down the
current and was not found. Mr.. Oliver
spent the night with Mr.. Wright and
spent several hours yesterday looking
for the buggy, which he failed to To-
,ate.

MEN ON RAFT
With LOGS IN
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Caught in Wind Storm While
on River, Pair Have Mar
row Escape.
LOGMAN is WASHED
OVERHEARD, is SAVED
Cleat CraiglOw Battles With
Waves and Saves Self from
Drowning.

Friday morning large raft of logs
being floated down the river from the
mouth of Apple Creek by Cleat Craig
low and Thomas Margraves, was
caught in the windstorm near Balm
bridge, and for time the lives of both
men were in danger.
The wind came up suddenly and be-
fore they had an opportunity to get
to shore, the waves were rolling high
over the logs, and the destruction of
the raft was threatened.
The gasoline launch which had the
raft in tow was repeatedly dragged
almost under the water, and was kept
in such a continual rocking motion
that Mr.. Margraves, the engineer, was
unable to cut loose from the raft.
Mr.. Craiglow was swept from his
feet by an immense wave and just as
he was going overload, secured
hold on one of the timbers and by
a desperate effort was enabled to re-
gain his footing.
A few minutes later, in struggling
to maintain his balance, he dropped
between the logs and was almost
crushed before he was able to climb
out of danger.
After struggling for almost an
hour they succeeded in reaching the
shore where they made the raft Sc
cure by extending cables to trees that
were standing on the bank.
After the wind subsidized, they were
to remain at anchor for sew
eral hours while they repaired the
damage done by the storm, and bound
the logs SO that they would hold Sc
cure through the remainder Of the
trip.

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
iss irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says Z noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from tho
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing q burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging' you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, tho
water passes sometimes with q scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control u~rination.
While It is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really n of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and teke . table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will n~eutralize the acids in
the urine % it no longer is q source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and 10 made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands Of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, e~ffervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

elled it will fall through, and thus the
Durums can be purified Therefore,
our chief recommendation to those
who expect to grow Durum this com
ing year. is that they should procure
a tanning mill and a coarse screen,
and run their Durum wheat which
they intend to use for seed over this
screen. Use only bright eolored am.
Der wheat, but be sure to Greer out
the shrivelled and light weight bred

by color. Sow the Durum so obtained
on land that is free from any other
kind of wheat. Do this careful screen
Ing each year, especially on years
when you have opportunity to do so
on account of the %shrivelling Of the
common wheat, and you will soon i'm
prove the quality of your durum
grains which you are offering on the
market. Remember that the worst
weed in durum wheatis fife wheat be-
cause it is apt to be plump berried un-
der the same conditions that durum
wheat is plump berried. The next
worse wheat is the Marquis. These
grains in the drier western regions
are apt to be as big in one direction as
any durum variety and hence hard to
get out. Then it may be desirable to
use perforated screens with short
nearly round or OblOng holes. through
which the shorter bred wheat grains
may drop through OF be forced through
by a canvas cover.
DO not sow fife after durum or dur.
UNI after fife or Marquis after durum

wish to spoil both vaieties through

almost approaching desert conditions.
Often the soil is of very good quail
ity, but the water supply is very de-
ficient. The method of culture in
those countries is such as to retain
the moisture and have it come to
the wheat gradually until maturing
time, but at such time, the amount OF
moisture in the soil is gradually dim
inishing so that the wheat is ripen-
ed up hard and of a bright amber
color. Under the atmospheric condi-
tons that prevail there-no fog, no
dew, essentially no rain during the
straw producing time, the straw is
very hard andthe grain, for this rea-
son, is almost exempt from disease.
In this country as soon as it. made
a success on the western plains,
there were many people in regions
which have wet, heavy, fertile soils,
who thought, of course, they could
get good results by the introduction
of durum wheats. In some cases., if
the weather was very dry, they did
succeed fairly we'll, but a poor quail
ity of Durum resulted which, at the
terminal elevators and in passing ov-
er the railroads and in other manners,
became thoroughly mixed with the
better, more standard qualities OF
Durum grown in the. western regions,
where the soil and climatic conditions
are suited to the crop and thus in
juring the whole Durum market. JAIL
Many Farmers Careless.
Many farmers were also very care
less in regard to the purity of the
grain. They Immediately upon re.
ceiving a sample of Durum, proceed
ed to SOW it upon old wheat lands
on which there was a crop of Blue
Stem or Fife or some other type of
wheat the previous year. The result
was Eve, ten or fifteen per cent, and
sometimes even twenty or twenty-five
per cent of other kinds of wheat vol
unteering in the Durum. The thresl-
ing machine also is a great mixer, if
it is not properly cleaned between
crops. The Durum seed has thus be-
come thoroughly intermixed with 9TH

plump and of full size, even though
they are shorter and not so big in
berry, it is usually quite impossible
to screen them out of the Durums.
Large Amount Of Rust.
Fortunately for this work of puri-
flying the Durums, certain rust pro-
,ducing years come alOng-years
which produce a large amount of rust.
In that case common wheats in re-
gions of high atmospheric moisture
rust badly and shrivel. The bread
