Candler, N. C.—"l don’t believe
there is a better medicine made
than Black-Draught; I have used it
and my mother’s folks used it for
colds, feverishness, headaches and
deranged liver.” This statement re
cently was made by Mr. C. B. Trull,
a well-known farmer on Route 3,
this place.
"I have, before now, begun feeling
dull, a headache would come on,
and I would feel all full of cold,
and take a few doses of Black-
Draught and get all right,” adds Mr.
Trull.
"Last year my brother had mea
sles, flu and pneumonia. They wired
us; I went to Camp Jeckson to look
him up. Down there different ones
were using preventatives. I stayed
with him. The only thing I used
was Black-Draught. It kept my
system cleansed and I kept well
and strong.”
By keeping your liver and stom
ach in good order, you stand in
little danger of catching serious ills
that occasionally spread through
town and country.
Get a package of Black-Draught
and have it ready for the first
symptom of a disordered liver.

MRS. MANSFIELD,
ACTOR’S WIDOW, •
ESCAPES TURKS
NEW YORK.—When Mrs. Beatrice
Mansfield, widow of America’s
.great tragedian, returns home
next week after her year’s sojourn in
Turkey, she will have a tale of ad
venture, beside which all the drama
in which she and her late husband
have played will seem pale and
painted.
Beginning with a bombardment of
Turkish bullets and ending with a
Turkish massacre when the “con
quering heroes” rode through the
streets, with the heads of their vic
tims raised aloft on their swords,
the performance in which Mrs. Mans
field played her latest lead surpassed
for thrills any that Broadway at its
best can achieve.
For sixty-two days of nerve-rack
ing uncertainty the six Americans
waited for the French reinforce
ments, while their food and fuel sup
ply dwindled. It was February when
the siege began, and lack of fuel
was more than an inconvenience. The
Turkish bullets battered against the
doors and windows and crashed
through the roofs of the buildings
next them. *
Mrs. Mansfield has been preceded
to the states by Lieutenant Weeden,
one of her co-workers, who brought
with him letters from Mrs. Mans
field written during the siege and de
scribing her sensations during those
terrible days.
Most difficulty of all was the forc
ed inactivity. After the doors were
barricaded and windows sandbagged
there was nothing to do but sit an-’
listen to the booming of the guns
and the crack of the rifle fire and
to give what comfort they could to
the little Armenian orphan hud
dled together in the basement.
Occasional! French soldiers made
their way to the compound at night,
wrapped in white shets, in which
they stole through the thick-falling
snow unobserved by the enemy. But
they brought only tales of the suffer
ings of the troops, whose supplies
were fast going and whose hopes of
rescue by the promised column -were
every day growing more dim. j
By the light of an improvised lamp
made from a dipping a piece of rag
in a jar of automobile oil Mrs. Mans
field wrote her letters home—letters
which she realized might never be
be read, might never be sent.
Tight for Idle
In the big living room, scantily
heated by the meager fire which was
the only source of heat outside the
kitchen, the Americans sat together
helpless, and almost hopeless, while
from the basement below came the
melancholy sing-song of the little
orphans, chanting their native
hymns, a weird accompaniment to
the hiss of the bullets and the boom
of the guns without.
The French post on one side was
captured, the American building on
the other was gouged with bullets.
In back the French garrison fought
frantically for their lives. And all
about them to make the gloom more
oppressive the snow fell heavily or
the thick white fog close, shutting
out the outside world.
Most nights the women ,of the
party were quartered in the base
ment where', wrapped in blankets,
they at least knew that they were
safe from fire. On the night's when
Mrs. Mansfield, who resented being
taken care of, insisted on sleeping
in her own room, she was aroused
after a few hours’ restless sleep by
the alarm of an attack on the build
ing.
Then followed a hurried retreat to
the cellar.
Finally, on the sixty-second day,
when all hope of reinforcements
was lost, the French hoisted the
white flag. The Turks granted them
a truce, guaranteeing their safe re
treat from the city.
But the jubilance of the Ameri
cans wag brief.
Scarcely had the last of the
French column disappeared in the
distance, when Mrs. Mansfield, who
had at once gone to the city to look
after her Armenian friends, heard a
frightful shrieking and shouting.
Turkish brigands, their clothes
smeared with blood, their daggers
dripping, galloped into the town,
bringing the news of the massarce
of the French troops.
A few moments later the “war
riors” returned singing and shout
ing, with the heads of their victims
carried on their sword points or
borne on their saddles while the
populace thronged about them wild
with glee.
Armistice Ended
So ended the Turkish-Freneh
armistice.
With thi s demonstration of the
Turks’ howor, it was with great tte
piuation that the American relief
I workers started on their journey out
under promise of safe convoy.
But the Turk was weary of blood
shed apparently, and the party made
its way without molestation to
Aleppo, where they were offered
their release.
Mrs. Mansfield, however, was not
yet ready home. She signed
for service in Jerusalem, where she
carried on relief work with the
refugees there until a few weeks
ago, when she started for home.
An interesting and most unusual
feature of the actress’s work in
Jerusalem was her dramatic read
“}£• , W , h , en the SOU P Save out, Mrs.
Mansfield, torn with pity but help
less to offer food, gave what com
tort she could by dramatic recitals
Though there is a. suggestion of
irony in offering Shakespeare to
hungry people in lieu of stew, so
was the interest and pleasure
which she aroused for-a time suf
■ ering and pain were forgotten and
her hearers were transported to a
world beyond their troubles.

“Terrapin King” Lives in Georgia
..... %• ‘ il wlWNl'g?'! mHHHHI
The picture at the left shows a sector of the only auccessfui
terrapin farm in the world. It’s on the Isle of Hope, near Savannah, ... -J I
and its owner is Alex Barbee, who appears at the right. T
BY JACK PATTERSON
Alex Barbee is the only person In
the world who has mastered the art
of raising terrapins. .
The government tried it and fail
ed. But Mr. Barbee established a
terrapin farm 'eight years ago at the
Isle of Hope near Savannah and it
is flourishing.
He is today the Terrapin King.
His farm measures 60 by 150 feet,
and is divided into pens. Two weeks
ago, there were 5,700 terrapins on
the farm, valued at sls to $36 a
dozen, according to their size.
Terrapin may be raised and hatch
ed at a minimum cost, owing to
economical habit of requiring no food
from October to April. Baby terra
pin refuse any food at all until they
are six months old. J
In writing about his farm, Mr.
Barfeee says:
“The whole thing can be flood
ed with water at will, and the pens
are always flooded when the terra
pin are fed, which is usually about
three times a week in spring and
summer, and not at all in the win-
Old Hickory Plant
In Tennessee Sold by
U. S. for $3,505,000
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.—The Old
Hickory powder plant at Jacksonville,
lenn., has been sold to the Nash
vule Industrial corporation, the di
rector of sales of the war depart
ment announced today. The price
was $3,505,000.
The war department under the
terms of sale, reserved a large
amount of space at the plant for the
storage of smokeless powder and
other materials as well as powder
making machinery.
Remaining also in possession of
the government are the numerous
concrete foundations which will as
sure to the government the nucleus
of a smokeless powder plant for com
pletion and use in time of national
emergency.
The department’s announcement
said that by sales and transfers of
materials at the plant through other
government agencies it had recovered
from its venture the total of $9,400,-
000.
“The Nashville Industrial corpora
tion will operate this mammoth plant
and develop a thriving industrial
city there,’’ said the department’s an
nouncement. “Arrangements have al
ready been made to operate certain
portions of the chemical units, and
it is expected that within ninety days
parts of the various plants will be
producing.
“Old Hickory, pronounced the
greatest achievement of the war, is
a complete city. The plant is so
large and has so many duplicate units
that a part of the equipment must
be sold. The release of this vast
quantity of chemical equipment will
prove a boon to the A-merican Chemi
cal industry which is now suffer
ing from a shortage in the equip
ment market.
“By this sale, the operating inter
ests of the nation also are saved
housing costing more than $12,000,-
000, as a sale to a wrecking concern
would mean the destruction to this
modern industrial city, a city capable
of caring for 20,000 persons. It also
means that the boiler house and the
water purification plant, and the
foundations of a smokeless powder
plant, will remain intact. .The two
former plants will be kept in opera
tion by the purchasers.
“The corporation has purchased the
village with its modern facilities, the
immense boilers and two power
plants, sulphuric acid plants, cot
ton purification plant, and nitrating
units. There also are 1,800 acres ot
land used exclusively for manufac
tur in g.”
Police Believe They
Have Master Mind
Os Petty Burglaries
It appears from his recent perfor
mances that Will Jordan is the mas
ter-mind among the Atlanta minor -
league burglars. Certainly he ts one
of the master-minds. Will was a tleaffi
classy enough to pick a detective s
pocket while the detective was es
corting Will about the town, so Will
could point ou tvarious points of in
terest, such as the places he had liv
ed and stored silk shirts by the
dozen, and so on.
Will was arrested Tuesday by De
tectives T. O. Sturdivant and Pat
Campbell, and a hundred expensive
siik shirts and other wearing apparel
were found in his house. Will said
they had been “left” with him by i
various persons. He denied any hand
in stealing them, but the officers, in
the course of their investigations,
have turned up at least a dozen rob
beries in which portions of the goods
were identified as having figured.
They were taking Will about
town on ’this Investigation Wednes
day, and Thursday morning the pre
caution was taken to make a second
search of Will’s person. In one of
his pockets were found papers that
on Wednesday were in the pocket of
Detective Sturdivant —evidence in a
case against another suspect. ,
Will said he didn’t know how the
papers got in his pocket. What De
tective Sturdivant said —well, he said
a plenty.
Will also is charged with swiping
a bulldog, left on guard at the home
of ~.T. C. Aycock, 65 Bast avenue
where other shirts were taken, along
with the guardian canine, which
will be used as evidence in Jordan';-
trial.

“The terrapin are divided into

known as the ‘quarter.’ The ‘halves’
are a fine marketable terrapin and
can always be counted on to bring a

“The demand for terrapin is small

FORTUNES AWAIT INVENTORS
Here are a Few Simple Things the World
Will Pay Handsomely for If You Can Dec
vise Them
Breathes there a man with soul so dead who hasn’t said:
“I’d like to invest something?”
At heart every human being is an inventor. To be sure,
most folks’ inventions are little things of value only to them
selves or their own households. A few make discoveries of value
to all their fellows and rate the title of “wizard” or “genius.”
Most folks lament, thinks H. Gernsback, editor of Science
and Invention, that they live in an age “when everything worth
while is invented.”
Not so, says Gernsback. 1
“Look about you!” writes he in the current Humber of Sci
ence and Invention. “Strive to reduce the load from our workers.
Take, for instance, your mother or your wife. Their daily dish
washing task—particularly where there are no servants—is tre
mendous, if you figure up the time and the hard, Unpleasant work.
“Dishwasher.— What is wanted is a practical dishwasher.’
To be sure, there are some of them on the market toHay. But
I’ve never seen a good one. To begin with, it must not be too
big. It should fit the sink, or be of an equivalent size. It should
have a gas attachment to general steam. Hot water alone does
not cut the grease from a roast pan. You must have steam, or
steaming hot, boiling water. That does the trick, and quickly,
* too. And the dishes, glasses, forks and knives come out per
fectly dry because the heat from the steam evaporates the water,
drying everything.
“Envelope-Letter.— Why not combine letter and envelope?
To be sure, many patents exist on such, but the ideas were not
good because we recall few firms using such an envelope-letter.
Your fortune is made, if you invent one that, when opened, does
not mutilate the letter, and looks respectable after opening.
“Letter Opener.— Big firms receive thousands of letters in
every mail. Such letters are not opened by hand any more to
day. Machines are used. But there are few that fit the bill.
And they all get easily out of order, an<D mutilate the contents
of a letter. Here’s your chance.
“Pencil Sharpener.— Ah, for the genius who will bless our
stenographers with a REAL pencil sharpener. There is, as yet,
none in captivity. They all break more pencils and chew them
up faster thaA you can feed them. A simple sandpaper-wheel,
correctly constructed, should be better than anything containing
funny knives and foolish cutters.
“Paper Collars.— Now for a cheap white paper collar that
you can’t tell apart from a linen one. Sells for 5 or 10 cents
apiece. Used once only, then thrown -away. But it must be stiff
and non-wilting—a man’s collar.”

Farmers’ Price-Fixing
Is Called Radicalism
' By Trade Board Head
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 14—Price
fixing by the farmer “Is a fancy
springing from the minds of radi
cals and would shatter all the fun
damentals of democracy,” said Judge
F. C. Vincent, president of the Kan
sas City Board of Trade, here at
tending the convention of the Grain
Dealers’ National association. The
convention planned to take action
aimed at activities of “professional
organizers” who, grain men contend,
are urging farmers to form co-oper
ative societies to control prices “re
gardless of world supply and de
mand.” The report of the legislative
committee characterized these organ
izers as “a menace to established
law.” .
“They deceive the farmers and
the public by unwarranted attacks
on existing marketing methods,”
Judge Vincent said. “They tell the
farmer he is not getting enough for
his products and is paying too much
for everything he buys."
“When the world supply is large
and prices slump, the farmers al
ways assail the exchanges,” said Hi
ram Sazer, of Chicago. “But right
now don’t hear any complaint from
the consumer because prices are low
er under a perfectly natural read
justment.”

It was alleged by S. R. Jackson, of

other man, unknown to the police,
enticed him to bet SSO that he could
open a trick lock. He claimed that
after placing the bet, the locks were
switched, and one which could not

one which could be opened.
When arrested, Sims had two locks
similar to those which Jackson de

Business men who must speed up the works and make busi
ness boom during these days —after the war—must recognize
the necessity of keeping fit. When mind is befogged, when you
have dull headaches or feel logy, when not “up to snuff ”
keep the bowels free with a mild laxative. In the morning
take a tepid sponge bath (cold water may be used if it does
not chill), follow with a brisk rub down; a sufficient “setting
up” exercise in good air until you are in a warm glow. Have
you tried it lately? \
Don’t let the poisons accumulate in the intestines either,
but try a dose of castor oil the first thing on rising, or a pleas
ant laxative .occasionally, such as one made up of May-apple,
aloin and jalap, rolled into a tiny sugar-coated pill, and sold in
every drug store as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Then a cup
of hot water before breakfast, and you’ll feel better than a
king! If you continue in life thus, you can pass a Life Insur
ance examination at sixty.
If you wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if
you want to increase your chances for a long life, you should
drink plenty of soft (rain) or distilled water daily between
meals. Then procure at the drug store Dr. Pierce’s Anuric
(anti-uric-acid). This “Anuric” drives the uric acid out and
relieves backache and rheumatism, as well as kidney trouble.
Anuric dissolves uric acid. Try it now!— (Advt.)
