Greenville, Aug 12&-One fatality

terrific cloudburst which broke over

concrete bridge at the intersection of
Lavinia and East Park streets, into
Richland creek aud the swirling tor
rent carried the body more than half
mile to the Laurens road bridge
where it was recovered. Lloyd Smith,
aged IL, brother, had a narrow es.
cape when he was precipitated from
the ledge but succeeded in reaching
the bank.
The youngsters were playing in
the City Park when the downpour be-
gan and sought shelter under the
bridge. Richland creek, usually an in
consequential stream in which even
infants wade and play, quickly became
turbulent young river, which under
mined the ledge on which the two
boys were standing and they we're
hurled into the swift flowing stream

er, the body Of the younger boy strik-
ing the rock bottom of the creek and
being swept down stream. It is be-

scene and the Ramseur-McAfee am
bulance was called. The physician

motor for more than half an hour in
an effort to restore heart action but
was unsuccessful. The body was not
badly bruised in it's Journey OF more
than half a mile down the winding
torrent, it is said. although death is
attributed to siX-inch cash in the
top OF the head.
Screams from Lloyd Smith attract
ed a number Of younsters to the bank
and several unsuccessful efforts were
made to rescue the body OF the young
boy as it was swirled down the creek.
At the Laurens road bridge, Coroner
Vaughn and several others succeed
ed in pulling the body from the treach-

MOTHER, QUICK! GIVE
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
FOR CHILDS BOWELS

Even a sick child loves the "fruity'
taste Of California Fig Syrup" If the
little tongue is coated, or if your child
Is listless, cross, feverish, full Of cold,
or has collie, teaspoOnful will never
fail to open the bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly 1t works all the constipa-
ton poison, sour bile and waste from
the tender, little bowels and gives you
a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep California
Fig Syrup" handy. They know a tea
spoonful today saves sick child to-
morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine
california Fig Syrup which has di-
rections for babies and children Of all
ages printed on bottle. Mother! You
must say California" or you may get

DDDSON KILLING
USE OF CAL0|NEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel In the South. Every
druggist has noticed great falling on
In the sale Of calomel. They all give
the same reason, Dodson'S Liver Tone
Is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know 1t, while Dodson's Liver Tone Is
perfectly safe and gives better results"
said a prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and If it fails to
give easy relief in every case Of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't grippe or cause incon-
Venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days
work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, full Of vigor and
ambition. -Advertisement.
