'o tlem we would recall Tennyson's iuggestiou that "all things come 'round him who will but wait." True it is by accumulating local items from lay to day, a week's cut-turn would nake a page of most, interesting matter; but. there is some compensation r.fter all waitinv for something sensational. It is well to turn even one triek, but iere is where we make a "grand slam." ith this introductory note, we are tbout to make a most starling asseron-The North Western Railroad of outh Carolina has put in operation a hrough passenger train! It has come it last, the grand consummation raiload service. Mark its dignified names, asseugers one and two. from the fact 3o doubt that they are "one too many."

The North-Western by any other iame will stiil be the North-Western.

lowever, in spite of the newly acquired iames and senedules, it has managed to 'un almost as successfully as its prelecessor. the "mixed." Just two wrecks -ithin a week have interfered with it 'unning the "even tenor of its course." he latter of these exciting wrecks ociurred within our town lights when the reight jumped the track, which would iot have been so bad had it not taken of the track with it preventing iumber one (or was it number two) on. 0, would that Blanchard night have photographed the ruins, yut alas, there was no train to bring iim into town, for the daily bad become weakly (do I mis-spell it. I think not.) ur memories linger fondly over former lays when we could have several trials Lt leaving and arriving in town. Howlver, we hope "it will all come out in he wash" (wbich after all is what is nost needed in our passenger coaches.) To our friends of neighboring we extend a most cordial invitation visit us, taking advantage of our new service.

Number one leaves when it can, its arrival being variable, Lnd number two starts when number gets out of the way. Mr. 0. C. Scarborough, after spendng a day between Columbia, Bishopille and 3Iayesville, and a day and iight on the North-western arrived in own at 12:30 Thursday morning.

By the year 1070 wooden chimneys nd log houses of the Plymouth and Bay colonies were replaced by more sightly houses of two stories, which were frequently built with the second story jutting out a foot or two over the frst and sometimes with the attic story still further extending over the second story. This "overhang" Is popularly supposed to have been built for the purpose of affording a convenient shooting place from which to repel Indians.

This is, however, an historic fable. The overhanging second story was a common form of building in England in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode Island settlers simply and naturally copied their old homes.

Wen General Forbes captured Fort Duquesne ia 1758 he renamed it Pittsburgh in honor of the great English inspirer of victory. Later it dropped the and became Pittsburg, only finally to tack the "hi" on officially and revert to the original spelling. In 1784 Arthur Lee described the place in language which seems strange to those who know "the Smoky City" of today: "Pittsburgh is inhabited almost entirely by Scots and Irish, who live in paltry log houses. There are in the town tour attorneys, two doctors and not a priest of any persuasion, nor church or chapel, so that they are likely to be damned without the benefit of clergy.

The place, I believe, will never be very considerable." Cheaping. In parts of SwItzerland the baker's wife carries round the bread in a sort of hamper. and she has not ai fixed, immutable charge. but chaffers for a price with the customers.

This stronghold was 1 reged by Cromwell so hotly that ittle garrison decided to surrender. 4 he eve of yielding the wife of Ogily he commander of the beleaguered ec tie, managed, with the aid of the wi af the local minister, to elude thel siegers and get the jewels away. I latter were burled under the pulpit the parish church and lay there I the restoration, though the minis1 and his wife were tortured to disek the place where the jewels were dien.

Old Superstitions. It is only when we begin to inve: gate the origin of certain old custo and superstitions that we gain real dea of how deeply rooted men's minds during the dark and dile ages was the fear of the superne ral and particularly of evil spirits. this day in a certain country the tagers after the Saturday morn scrubbing take a piece 'of chalk draw a rough geometrical pattern rou the edge of the threshold stone. they do. not knowing that their anc tors thought it a sure way of keepi the devil from entering the house.

other custom, often noticeable in col try parishes. is the reluctance to bi the dead on the north side of1 churchyard. This is because evil sj its were always supposed to lurk that side of the church precinct: MANY 011I18 1R 8111110 BY 8 New Root Juice tledicine Creates Wide Interest by Its Strange Power Over Disease. The startling rapidity with which the fame of the new Root Juice medicine has traveled seems little short 45 of marvelous for although its strange 92 power over disease has been known but a short time, reports from ple in many cities, praising it to the 00 skies and describes the most phe00 nomenal cures, are coming from ev 00 erywhere. 97 Dozens of people here in town who 00 were among the first to obtain the medicine at the drug stores, are now 82 telling of benefits that have been de59 rived from its use.

On every band one may bear stories that seem almost incredible and yet the persistency with which such reports are made seem to dispel 75 any doubt concerning the remarkable merit of discovery. From all repoi ts, the Root Juice ex00 erts a powerful curative influence 00 upon the digestive and secretory organs and some of those who have a tried it say they can scarcely get 55 enough to eat and that the stomach 42 seems able to digest anything, It f4 oo stops indigestion, belching, the form- ation of gas on the stomach and 75 pains after meals, in a surprising manner and its continued use for a short time strengthens and tones the a stomach so that indigestion is soon 03 forgotten. Rheumatic sufferers, too, declare that the effect of the medicine 25 on sore, swollen, aching limbs and 8: joints is wonderful and that the paii simply seems to vanish. The following extracts from a few 00 of the many recent reports will vey a good idea of the great results 00 that are being obtained by its use in many cities over the country. F.

75 Abel, Seymour, "I have used the medicine with fine results and know of many others it has helped." Albert Timbek, Cantrall, I have suffered with stomach trouble two years. 2e, Was almost dead one night when I ho sent for Root Juice. After three or four doses I felt much better. It has since worked wonders for me." J. E.

he Ogden, St. Louis, "It is the best medicine I ever used and I have tried many kinds." Joe Battle, Moultrie, "I have tried Root Juice and re- 1, ceived more benefi than from any medicine I ever used." Other similar reports have come from Carrington, C. N. Anderson, Kane, Chicago. Harrisonburg, 0 Springfield, Bellefontaine, Ohio, and many other cities in all parts of the United States.

Inasmuch as a large bottle holding nearly a pint can be obtained at any drug store or direct from the Root Juice Laboratories at Fort Wayne, for only one dollar, it would seem advisable for any suffering person to give it a thorough test.

The English colonists in Connecticut, laying to all the land "as far as the ocean," moved down and settled on Westchester creek in what Is now Brenx borough. The Dutch of New Amsterdam were in great fear of a hostile move down on them and sent an armed force to arrest the approach of the invaders.

For a time a regular patrol of soldiers was distributed along the military wall, detachments being assigned to keep close guard over the two gates in the wall, one at what is now Broadway and the other at the East river end. At that period the wal marked the northern boundary of the town of New York Times. The Gentle Sex.
