A CAUSE Of
WOMEN'S ILLS
WOMEN OFTEN THINK THEY HAVE
HEART TROUBLE. INuIGESTIoN. NER-
voUS PROSTRATION. ETC. WHEN ITS
SIMPLY IRON STARVATION or -'sE
BLOOD

Many women believe tfey are weak and
nervous as a result of age worry and over
work: they think that tteir disturbed di-
gestion, headaches. heart Ualpitation short
ness OF breath. pains across the hack etc
are due to some serious disease instead of
the real cause-iron starvation of the blood
This is proven by the fact that when many
or these same women ta1n organic iron for
awhile all their alarming symptoms quickly
disappear and they become strong, robust
aud healthy. Iron is absolutely necessary
TO enable your blood To change food into
living cells and tissue. Without it nothing
you eat does YOU the proper amount Of
good-you do not get the strength out of e.
Ii you are not strong and well do not wait
until you go all to pieces and collapse i'm a
state of nervous prostration but take some
organic iron-Nuxated iron--at once. But
be sure it's organic iron and not metallic
iron which people usually take and which is
made merely by the action Of strong acids
ON small pieces of iron. Organic y UXATFD
IRON is Ike the iron in your blood land
like the iron in spinach. lentils and apples
and il often increases the bodily and mental
Vigor of weak, wornout women in two
weeks time.
Beware of substitutes. Look for the word
"Nuxated" on every package and the letters
N l. on every tablet Your money will bc
refunded by the manufacturers If you do
not obtain perfectly satisfactory results.

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.

Mr.. II. a. Hasty as he greeted a Her.
aid man Tuesday. When The Herald
man told him that news had been
scarce for the past several weeks and

out a readable paper al this season
OF the year when everybody was at
work, Mr.. j. Earle Bethea, who was

know whether you would call ii news.
but l saw a very peculiar accident a
lew days ago. 1 was out on the Dill
ion-Latta road where the contractors
are working and as you know it is
very rough. Along came a man and
woman driving a mule to an old side
spring buggy. The buggy was bounc-
ing up and down like a small ship
Oh choppy sea when all at once one
OF the springs broke. In the twink
ling of an eye the buggy body turned
upside down and before the occu-
pants of the buggy were aware of
what was happening the mule was
tearing down the road like small
cyclone, with the vehicle rafting and
bouncing over the rough highway. 1
looked back to see what had become
CT the man and woman but they were
nowhere in sight. They seemed to
have disappeared as completely as if
the earth had opened and swallowed
them up After running three or four
hundred yards the mule came to a
stop and there quietly reposing in the
buggy top which had caught
them when the body reversed itself
were the man and the woman. The
woman held two-gallon jar of milk
in her hands which she had swung
on to with grim determination during
the wild ride down the road. Neither
OF the occupants of the buggy had
suffered a scratch.

HAL BOY BRINGS FANCY PRICE

Mr.. ]. B. Gibson made a trip to
Newark, Delaware, last week and
sold his trotter Hal Boy to Mr.. ]. F..
Boyer, wealthy manufacturer and
horse fancier of Norristown, Penn,
Tor the reported price of $25O0.OO.
This is the same horse that plowed
on Mr.. j. w. Hamer's place last year.
and was owned by colored man.
Hesikiah McRae. Hal Boy created
quite a sensation last summer at the
colored races here, and as a result
was purchased by Mr.. Gibson, who
mad him raced with considerable sue
cess on the North Carolina Circuit
last fall, showing his ability to beat
2:15. In March of this year the horse
was sent to Delaware and placed in
the hands of Trainer H. r. Tyson.
preparatory to campaign in the
north. His training was so impressive
that offers for his purchase were
made, finally resulting in Mr. Glib
son selling him to the gentleman
above named. The horse was shipped
on last Wednesday from Delaware to
Belmont Track, Philadelphia, and be-
comes the stable companion of Grace
Direct 2.001e, and other noted
horses.

Boil WSnviI i'm Dillon.

"One hears a whole lot of talk
these days about the boil weevil and
NO doubt lots of the tales one hears
are greatly exaggerated" said County
Agent Epps while talking to a
Herald man the other day, "but the
Clemson experts who have been
camping On the trail of the weevil
since he started out this way tell us
ne is bound to make his appearance
In Dillon county this year in uncom-
Portable numbers. 1 have been told
that you could take them out of
stump holes in Kirby township by the
handful, but this may be an exagger-
alton like many other reports that
nave come to our ears time and
again. If the weevil comes in big
numbers this year the only way we
can beat him is to get off an early
crop, and with the crop from 10 to
10 days late at the present time we
nave got to do some fast work and
have some mighty good seasons to
get ahead of him."

EFFORT TO WRECK $. A. u.
Engineer and Fireman Hurt When.
Jumping-Spur Switch Opened.

IRAN wreckers are believed to have
been responsible for the wreck of
Scaboard Air Line passenger train.
NO. %, at Scott's siding near Flor
ehce. The train ran into an open
switch and the engine and baggage.
car ploughed in the earth at the dead
end OF the switch for distance OF
80 feet without overturning.
Engineer liver Harmon leaned
from his cab as the engine left the
rails and struck the ground with
great force. His right shoulder
was dislocated and he suffered an
ugly cash in his forehead. Other
portions OF his body were severely
bruised Joe Jenkins. the negro
Iii eman. also jumped and his en-
tire right side is a mass of bruises
but he is not seriously hurt.
Both the engineer and the fireman
we're rushed to the Florence infirm-
airy and their injuries attended to-.
NO passengers on the train were in
)ured although they were rudely
shaken. Engineer Harmon says he.
was maintaining schedule of 35N
miles a hour.
Since reading in the papers dur
ing the past several days of attempts,
to wreck trains in various parts of
the country / have been keeping q
close lookout on my line," said En-
gineer Harmon at the hospital, "but
this is q clear piece of track with only
the switch and / did not anticipate
any trouble here
The sign board on the switch
showed white, and it was afterward
discovered that white paper had
been pasted over the red board to in
dicate a clear track. AS / approached
the switch 1 noticed that the board
was clear and did not slacken speed
1 was dumfounded. therefore, when
the engine jerked into the open
switch and had no time to slow down
before it left the end of the rails, and
plowed into the earth.
II stayed on my engine until it
left the rails trying to bring it to a
step. When it hit the ground, how
ever. l realized that the jig was up
and fearing that engine would turn
over, 1 made my escape by jumping.
The siding at this point is a short
one"
| 1t is understood that officials of
the Seaboard will make thorough in
vestigation into the cause of the
wreck. There is no doubt, however.
about the fact that the switch had
been tampered with and thrown
open. The white paper pasted over
the red sign board is also mute tes-
timony Of the work of train wreckers.
