Their corns. :

Watch your step! A brisk, livdy

Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove. !
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for a quarter o.,
an ounce OF freezone. This will cost
little but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or csllus from ones
feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, touchy corn relieves the sore

and all, lifts right out without pain.
This freezone is gummy SUBSTANCE

Women must keep In mind that
cornless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her sttrsctivsness.--

TAKES own LIFE
SUICIDES BY SHOOTING EARLY
TODAY AT HOME IN
NASHVILLE.
WAS IN BROKEN HEALTH


Life in Wreck on N. c. & st. /. Ry.
Former President Of the Road
Was Church Worker.
(By United Press.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. a.
John Howe Peyton, former president
Of the Nashville. Chattanooga l. St.
Louis Railway. committed suicide by
shooting himself here early today.
News OF the tragic death Of Mr..
Peyton was received with the deep
est sadness In Columbia, where he
was known by large number Of bus
mess men and others who had oeen
associated with him in Episcopal
church work. His friends here had
known for some time that his health
had declined rapidly since the ter
rible wreck on the NJ. C. G. st. l.. ny.
several weeks ago, in which more than
100 lives were lost. Mr.. Peyton wSs
not actively in charge Of the roll a,
the time. but his interests in rs A.
fairs and his, sympathetic heart seem
ed to cause him to take upon himself
some of the responsibility for the
catastrophe. 1t is believed here that
brooding over the wreck probably led
him to take his own life.
Mr.. Peyton had been president of
the N, c. & st. l.. Railway about four
years when the road was taken over
by the government and a federal Of
fetal placed at the head. Since that
time he has served only in an a..
visory capacity. He was railroad
man Of life long experience. He was
a civil engineer by profession and as
a young man assisted in surveying
the road bed of the NJ, c.. & st. l..
through Middle and West Tennessee.
Later he became chief engineer of
the Louisville & Nashville railway,
but was elected president OF the N.
G & st. L. following the death OF
John W. Thomas.
Mr.. Peyton was about 60 years Of
age and was unmarried. He is sur.
yiyed by two sisters. to whom he
was remarkably devoted. AS a.
he was exceptionally &C
tive, taking part in all religious acti-
vities of his church and contributing
literally to various charities. Re-
Gently he had been concerned with
the establishment Of an Episcopal
church at Hadley', bend for the
thousands of workmen there. He was

DOES NOT REMEMBER
HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED
YOUNG MAN WHO FELL FROM
BRIDGE REGAiNs CONSCIOUS
NESS AND Is WELL.
Fridays Daily Herald.)

harrington Brown, the young man
who fell from the Duck river bridge
Thursday afternoon about O'clock,
had fully recovered from the shock
this morning and in a statement to
DR.. J. L. VOORHEES,, his attending ply
siican, declared that he was unable
to explain how the accident happen
ed. He said that he came in car
with his uncle, another white man
and negro to Columbia after reg
istering in Spring Hill. While at the
courthouse listening to the band con-
cert he became very nervous and
walked off to the bridge, he said,
where he became nauseated and lean
ed on the railing. After that he did
not remember anything until he re-
gained consciousness at the hospital.
Mr.. Brown had not been we'll for
several months. He was a student
at Vanderbilt university in Nashville
last winter and spent two months with
his sister in New York this summer
Returning to Nashville he secured a
position at the powder plant where
he worked week or two until his
health broke down under the heavy
strain and he returned to his homo
near Spring Hill, where he has been
for about a month His health failed
to improve and it was his weakened
condition that caused the accident by
which he narrowly escaped death.
That Mr.. Brown was not killed or
drowned by the fall is considered mar
velous. 1t is said that at the point
where he fell into the river the water
is about IL feet deep and the floor of
the bridge is about 60 feet above the
water. The impact of the fall was
so strong that it rent the young mans
clothing and blistered his body. But
he was not injured in anyway. The
shock probably stimulated him suffi.
GENTLY to give him strength to swim
to the bank. There he was found
by Barney Stevens and eth
ers who went to his rescue.

The resolutions in commendation
Of DR.. Kicks state that during his four
years. service the church has center.
ed into a larger period of develop
ment, both materially and spiritually,
so much so that his going finds the
church strongly intrenched with a
splendid plant, all debts paid, and a
serious sense Of obligation pervading
the whole church."
Since DR.. Kicks opposed the rule
adopted at the last general confer.
ence permitting pastors to remain
longer than four years at one place.
he has stated that he would decline
a reappointment to the First Metho-
dist church. This was I. contrary to
the wishes of the membership, but
will be accepted as final, with the
prayers and good wishes going with
him into his new field of labor and
the hope that coming years may
bring to him, and his family, the cp-
portunity, for usefulness and haopi-
ness which they deserve"
Commencing the three years service
of DR.. Lowry as presiding elder, dur
ing which there has been steady pro-
gress in every detail, the conference
