Some of the cities have recorder’s courts that are use- ful One or two counties have estab- lished such courts by which any city or county can have such _ inferior courts so that the cases of smaller importance can be speedily disposed of, and there will be no crowding of the superior court docket. Several local bills providing for such courts have been introduced | but the need is for a general law by which any county can have such eourt if it desires it. To meet that need Mr. Turlington, of Iredell, has {utroduced a bill. He has drawn it carefully, providing that “the act shall not apply to any county until the same shall be adopted by the board of county commissioners.’’ The same county board can abolish it af- ter one year if it desires. This bill is presented by Mr. Turlington in the hope that other legislators will help him perfect a measure that will give this relief that is needed in some counties.

A number of gentlemen were this morning discussing the cold weather, which wé have been having the past few days. Some of them were com- plaining that it hurt so much, and laying in othér complaints, when one of the number, who used to use around in Wyominga great deal, spoke up and said, ‘“Pshaw, this is not cold weather.

Maupin, Nebraska’s lobar commis- sioner, was formal and eloquent tri- bute to <he hen. Commissioner Maupin said: “Thougtt I knew some- thing about the great Nebraska hen, but since I have occupfed this desk I’ve been fitting up on information. The hefi as not had the proper re- cognition, _We’ve talked about the steer and the dairy cow and the hog until we have fallen into the habit of thinking that the hen is a side issue, so to speak. Whr, she brought $18,000,000 worth of eggs to market in Nebraska last year, to say nothing of the value of her offspring in the way of fried chicken. She laid i.- 200,000 eggs in 1968. Placed end to end these eggs would reach around the earth and then overlap 12,000 miles. .They would make an egg walk three feet wide reaching from Omaha to Ogden. They would furnish the ‘and’ part of a ‘ham and’ breakfast for 600,000,000 people, and make an omelette containing 625,000 cubic feet. If the Nebraska hen had laid £18,090,000 worth of ‘eggs in 1908, and her offspring was worth one half as much more in the shape of fried chicken and chicken pie, the hen was worth more to Ne- braska than our boasted wheat crop almost twice as much as our barley crop; twenty times as much as our corn crop— and we have talked about our crop until all the world knows Nebraska beats them all. Now why shouldn't we begin -giviug -the grand old Ne- braska hen her just due? Realy we Ought to have a new seal for this great state, and when it is designed we ought to insist that the Nebraska hen received proper recognftion thereon .”’ ——_++@>--—__ SELF SUPPORTING WOMEN. Every girl should be taught to do Some one thing well so that her labor may sell in the chosen line. The vast majority of women who work in gainful occupations are forced to work, whether they want to or not. In the majority of cases it is not so much a support for themselyes which is the motive, as that they may add their pittance to the support of some other person more or less dependent on them. After the novelty of an “independent purse” js exhausted, very few women would ZO on work- ing unless compelled to do so by their Own or another’s imperative needs. The lessons which the self-support- ing woman must learn are full of headache, keen disappointments and discouragements—often times ex- tremely humiliating. and the army of patient, determined toilers are worthy of all praise for their persist- ence in holding their place in the line of battle in the face of such fearful odds. In work which a wo- man can, and is forced to do, the law of supply and demand is strongly present. It is a fact that at the foot of the ladder is the fiercest bat- tle ground, because of the terrible inefficiency of the untrained hands to grasp the rounds and rise That the higher occupations are open to Wwo- men means but little to the unedu- cated untrained applicants who know how to do nothing well and who are also uniitted by tempera- ment and intelligence to fill any but the lower ranks. Even the highets en- ucation will not give to every woman ability to fill the lowest-of the busi- nesses or professions. Whatever oc- cupation a woman enters, the duties exacted of her are severe, and the Price she pa¥ys-for the privilege of earning a livelihood isa terrible one. Thoughtful men and women contend that the payment of this Price does not end with the woman, herself, but is Gxacted of the children she bears. The labor conditions which obtain today make the strug- gle for existence intense, and it is a pity that women must enter the mar- ket and fight for Standing room: but Pity ’tis, ’tis true that she must. *@isfiguring: skin eruptions, scrofula,- Pimples rashes, etc., are due to impure blood.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption. pneumonia, diptheria and- scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cola favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that affiict humanity; they must “keep ur.” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. they must walk and bend and bend and work with racking pains aud many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained.

Trade as well as war has changed in its aspect—both Just as a present day army of heroes would have no opportunity to display the individual valor of its members, just so a merchant who counts upon his personal segueetaucee sD for success is a relic of the past—a business dodo. Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after a fleet of warships battered down the Satsuma fortifications. The Samu- rai, who had hitherto considered their blades and bows good enough, discovered that one cannon was mightier than all the swords in creation if they could not get near enough to use them. Japan profited by the lesson. She did not wait until further ramparts were battered to pieces, but was satisfied with her one experience and proceeded to modernize her methods. The merchant who doesn’t advertise is pretty much in the same position as that in which Japan stood when her eyes were opened to the fact that irmes had changed. The long range publicity of a competitor will as surely destroy your business as the cannon of the foreigners crumbled the walls of Sat- suma. Unless you take the lesson to heart, unless you vealize the importance of advertising, not only as the means of extending your business but for defending it as well, you must be prepared to face the conse- quences of a folly as great as that of a duelist who expects to survive in a contest in which his adversary bears a sword twice the length of his own. Don’t think that it’s too late to begin because there are so many stores which have had the advantage of years of cumulative advertising. The city is grow- ing. It will grow even more next year. It needs increased trading facilities just as it’s hungry for new neighborhoods. But it will never again support neighborhood’ stores. Newspaper advertising has eliminated the strength of being ‘locally prominent, and five cent street ear fares have cut out the advantage of being ‘‘aromnd the corner.’’ A store five miles away can reach out threugh the columns of the daily newspaper and a your next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sit*by and see the people on your own block enticed away without your being able to retaliate or supply mew custemers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertising but of being able to survive withoeg at. The thing you have to consider is net only an extension of your business but holding what you al- ready have. Advertising is an investment, the cost of which is in the same proportion to its returns as seeds are te the harvest. And it is just as preposterous for you te consider publicity as an expense as it would be for a farmer to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer ifjhe discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it.

Many aboy has gone to bed in tears because his father criticized or renounced his efforts at playing the violin; made fun of a simple little composition or story which he wrote; discouraged his attempt to make ‘little mechanical device, or threw a wet blanket on his dreams, laugh- ing at his prediction of what he ‘would do in the future. A man who has recently come into great prominence in his profession says that when tremblingly he told his father what he wanted to be, he was told that a padded cell was the only place for a boy with such crazy ideas, and that he was forced for years to do that which Gad had for- bidden in every fiber of his being, ‘and against which every drop of blood protested. The father who has made up his mind that his son must continue his business and keep his estate intact, is not in a posftion to decide on the boy’s bent—his special aptitude. He is prejudiced at the very outset, The reason why there are so many ‘mediocre men and women in the world, and so many failures, is be- cause they never found their right places. Everywhere we see men and wo- fmen, capable of much better things, who were discouraged and diverted from their natural bent when young. Their own families did not take stock in them; they laughed at their young ambitions, and strangled their aspirations, either by harsh treat- hent, or what is even worse, ridi- cule; and their teachers did not un- derstand them. You cannot read the sealed mes- Sage which God has wrapped up in your boy or girl, and you should re- gard it as sacred. You should rez spect the dreams of future greatness of your son, because the Creator may have intended him for a grand and far-reaching mission. You cannot tell what is going on in his mind: you cannot tell what possibilities are locked up in his brain. He may be perfectly “conscious at this moment that he was intended for a much higher place in the world than you you are occupying yourself, and to denounce him, to scoff at his dreams. to laugh at his predictions for the fture may be a source of great hu- Piiliation to you some day. It may also work incalculable injury to your boy, A thousand times better srike him with your hand than blast his hopes by ridicule or by a cruel. chilling, cutting world —Success Magazine. —————_—~+~@>-e—____ Stops earache in two minutes; teothache or pain of burn or scald in five minutes; hoarseness, one hour; muscleache, two hours; sore throat, twelve hours—Dr. Tiotmas Belectric Oil, monarch over pain. ———~~++@a>-e—____ An Unreliable Dog. “Come right on in, Sambo.’ the farmer called out. “He won't hurt you.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for £erms of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thee ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when & good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used_ It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally ‘Successful in preventing Pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but Minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

Cloer had put up a beautiful tale and represented himself as being a farmer Tiv ing near Roaring River, N. C. He was requested to give some references but before Mr Horton could communicate with them Cloer was gone from that place. Mr. Horton stated that he did not have any suspicion” until several hours after the check was cashed, but it was too late thén.

Mr. ~ Barber, the postmaster at Barber Junction was in the city fast night and identified CGloer as the man who passed a_ bogus check on him in December, claiming himself to be W. L.

The Fugitive Charged With Killing Sheriff Stanian@ and Who Broke Brunswick Jail Friday Night, Seen With His Accomplice Near Lock- wood’s Fo8y Yesterday—Shernf, With Posse and Bloodhounds, Has- ten From Southport to the Scene. oe Wilmington, N. C., Feb. 1.—Infor- mation reached Southport from a re- liable source this morning that J_P. Walker, the white desperado charged with killing Sheriff Stanland, of Brunswick county, last November, and who broke jail there Friday night had been seen in company with his accomplice, Dudley, who went out with him, on Richmond Galloway’s place, three miles from Lockwood’s Foiiy, bridge, i in a remote part of the county today. Sheriff Knox and a posse at once left Southport for Lockwood’s Folly with the blood- hounds from Chadbourn and hope to Strike 4 trail of the fugitives around a camp fire they built near there last night. ~ A report has also come from Halls- boro, Columbus county that Walker was seen to cross Lake Waccamaw in a boat Saturday ~ morning and ac- knowledged that he had broken jail at Southport but it is believed there has been some mistake as the report from Lockwood's Folly is more clear- ly defined. Lockwood’s Folly is near Shallote where Walker’s crime was committed and near where his wife lives, he hav- ing married a Miss Lenon, daughter of-a substantial citizen of the coun- ty. It is beliéved at Southport that Walker will be Captured with the next 24 hours. Tie commissioners of Brunswick at their meeting today by authority of ivepresentative Taylor’s act in the legislature, offered a reward of $400 for Walker. This with the sherit’s reward of $100 for Walker and $25 for Dudley, with other offers private- ly mawe, puts a price of $625 on the heads of the fugitives. The bloodhounds from Burgaw were brought to Wilmington Sunday and taken home that evening, the- keeper having failed to strike a trail from the cell occupied by Walker on account of the large number of peo< ple who had entered there. _———-2~n oe DASTARDLY WORK OF RUBBERS.

The sick woman called to Mrs, Cramer to give them what was in a kettle in the room. Mrs. Cramer picked up the kettle and fled, the men shot at her and then turned and shot Mr. Haullman in the neck kill- ing him. They then shot Mr. Krei- ‘der twice, dangérously injuring him, The robbers fled and have not been captured. The Haulimans some years ago lost money ina bank failure and have since kept their cash in their house in a_ kettle.

It is said that each year an average of 27,000 tons of water falls in the form of rain on every mile of public road in the United States. This cer- tainly would show the importance of drainage, says the Philadelphia Re- cord. Both the surface water and un- der-ground water must be taken into consideration in order to secure good drainage. The former must be quickly removed, and completed, without subjecting the road to ex- cessive sour or erosion. Therefore, the centre of the road should ‘be raised’ and the slope to- ward the side ditches be made one- half to one inch to each foot dis- tance, or so that the water will run freely to the side ditches and not flow down the road or remain in puddles on the roadway, The side ditches should be big enough to care for the hardest storms, with a fall of not less than six inches to each 100 feet. Fre- quent and ample cross drain should be constructed and every opportuni- ty taken to get the water away from the road’ as soon as possible. In many places the under ground water is too near the surface and must be removed before a good road will be possible. In such cases some form of Sub-drainage must be re sorted to, usually tile drains of clay or concrete. The water in freezing expands one tighth its volume, the road héave out of shape, and when the ice melts the road disappears beneath the ris- ing tide of mud constantly fed by rains, melting snows and under- ground springs. In seepy and boggy places the sub- drainage, in order to be fully effec- tive, should lower the water level to not less than three feet below the road surface. If tiles aré used they should be carefully laid, true to grade. Most failures in tile drain- age can be attributed to carelessness in laying or too flat grade. Tile less than four inches in diameter should rarely be used, nor should a grade of less than six inches to the 100 feet be used unless absolutely neces- sary. In a very dense soil it is al- ways advisable to cover the tile fo at least a depth of six to twelve inches inches shrildu .. .. 6 ..6 ..65666 with coarse sand or fine gravel.—Bal- timore American. een nt -- e— THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING. Advertising is a straight business proposition, It is the quickest, most effective and least expensive way for amerchant to make his existence known to the public, to tell them what he has to sell, and why they should buy it of him. It stands on its own merits. It is worth all that it costs. The dealer who uses space merely “‘to help the paper’? will not find it profitable. The publisher who solicits advertising on the plea of “‘charity’? deserves no response. Charity is all very well in its way, but it must not be mixed with busi- ness. ne Every institution, from the mam- moth department store to the cross- roads grocery, can utilize advertising successfully. Space in the smallest country weekly is as valuable in pro- portion to its circulation as that of the largest daily. The one reason for using it that the local merchants should have is tnat it pays them. It is the most effective method of cov- ering their immediate vicinity. Newspaper publicity is quite as necessary an item of a store’s expense as rent, light or clerk hire. At the same time it is not an actual ex- pense, but_an investment. A sum spent in judicious advertising returns a high rate of interest in the form of new customers and immediately in- creasing sales and™~ yet retains the principal as a valuable “good will” that lasts as lofig as the business it- self. There is no element of luck or mystery about it. The difference between success and failure in ad- vertising is the sam as in anything else. On the sidé of profit stand ‘careful planning, correctly written copy and skilled setting; on the side of loss figure lack of preparation, un- scientific copy and faults display, If a few simple rules be strictly ad- hered to, there is no reason why any progressive merchant cannot make his advertising appropriation show a profit. But, strangely, many thou- sands of dollars’ worth of space is actually wasted each year. The merchants of the smaller towns are perhaps the worst offenders. [It is really deserves that name. There- fore the experience of local mer- chants who know nothing of real ad. writing must not be taken as proof that all advertising is a failure. This view, however, is’ not uncommon. Apparently there {is in many in- stances no attempt on either the mer- chant’s or publisher’s part to make it really pay, Space is purchased on such pretense as “booming the town” to be “‘popular,’? because a competi- tor does, and the like. Surely this is ' because the merchants do not realize what a powerful aid good advertis- ing might be to them. Surely it is because they do not know how to make it. profitable. It is to the publisher’s interest to ‘do all he can to get new patrons and to increase the value of his advertis- ring space. There should be as ag- gressive a campaign for advertisers as for subscribers. The interests of the advertisers should receive as much attention as those of the read- ers. The appearance of the ads, should be improved as often as that of the news columns. Moreover, it ‘is a duty, not simply a “favor,” to do this. Se First, the Business men of the community must be educated to see why they should advertise. Then there must be a course of instruction telling how they Should do so suc- cessfuliy. _ Adopt af once the practice of mak- ing no additional charge for altering the makeup of ads, each insertion. Then hustle around and get your patrons to prepare new copy for each issue. ‘'rnere is no more reason for running the same ad. continuously than to publish a paper each week without changing its contents. Any wide awake merchant can write up sufficient information about his store. his new goods and his price attrac- tions to fill a half page each week, but usually he doesn’t use a fourth ‘of this space, so there is no excuse here. As soon as a merchant begins telling a fresh, newsy story each time his ads appear the public will ‘fall into the habit of reading them. Considering what crude, lifeless af- fairs some ads are, do you. wonder that they are not read, particularly if the same matter is allowed to stand for months at a time? The value of an advertising me- dium is determined by the number and character of its readers. How can the merchants of a town be ex- pected to use space in the local pa- per if it does not reach most of the homes in the community? And yet some country weeklits that do not have half the circulation they ought to expect patronage. A merchant wants to reach a majority of his pa- trons at least when he advertises. Some publishers have not made a real effort to increase circulation for years, A genuine ‘news’ paper and a hustling solicitor soon solve [the problem. “It is a good ting to be loyal to the local paper, but the ‘publisher must first make it a good advertising medium. * * * flow much trade is going to neighboring towns that might come to our home therchants?—-American Press. ——~+<+@>-e—___- _—— ~~ Sees Mother Grow Young. “It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters,’? writes Mrsc.

Business is no longer a man to man con- tact, in which the merchant and the patron establish a personal bond, any more than bat- | tle is a hand-to-hand grapple, where bone and muscle and sinew decide the outcome. Trade as well as war has changed in its aspect—both are now fought at long range. Just as a present day army of heroes would | have no opportunity to display the individual valor of its members, just so a merchant who counts upon his personal acquaintanceship for success Is a relic of the past—a business dodo. Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after a fleet of warships battered down the Satsuma fortifications. The Samu- tai, who had hitherto considered their blades and bows good enough, discovered that one cannon was mightier than all the swords in creation if they could not get near enough to use them. Japan profited by the lesson. She did not wait until further ramparts were battered to pieces, but was satisfi¢d with her ove experience and proceeded to modernize her methods. *~’ The merchant who doesn’t advertise is pretty much in the same position as that in which Japan stood when her eyes were opened to the fact that times had changed. The long range publicity of a competitor will as surely destroy your business as thé cannon of the foreigners crumbled the walls of Sat- suma. Unless you take the lesson to heart, unless you realize the importance of advertising, not only as the means of extending your business but for defending it as well, you must be prepared to face the conse- quences of a folly as great as that of a duelist who expects to survive in a contest in which his adversary bears a sword twice the length of his own. = Don’t think that it’s too late to begin because there are so many stores which have had the advantage of years of cumulative advertising. The city is grow- ing. It will grow even more next year. It needs increased trading facilities just as it’s hungry for new neighborhoods. But tt will never again support neighborhood stores. Newspaper advertising has eliminated the strength of being locally prominent, and five cent street ear fares have cut out the advantage of being “‘arownd the corner.”’ Astore five miles away can reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and ei your next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sit-by and: see the people on your own block enticed away without’ your being able to retaliate or supply mew customers to take their place. 7 os It is not a question of your ability te stand the cost of advertising but of being able to suruive withomst 4t. The thing you have to consider is not only an extension of your business but holding what you al-. ready have. : fie Advertising is an imvestment, the cost of whi is in the same proportion to its returns as seeds are te the harvest. And it is just as preposterous for you to consider publicity as an expense as it would be’ for a - farmer to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer if,he discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it. : (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Davidson Dispatch, 30th, to Charlote Observer. . Mra. Sarah Hampton Stirewalt Widow of S. V. Stirewalt, died at hér home here this evening at 6 o’elock. She had been in declina- iog health for a number of years, having suffered a stroke of par- alysis in the summer of 1906, and several since then, the forth and last, which was the immedi- ate of her death, occuring Wed- nesday. Mrs. Stirewalt; was in her 91st year, having been born September 17. 1818. She was married to Mr. S. Valentine Stir. ewalt in January, 1849. In 1899 the couple was privileged to cel- ebrat e together with many friends their fiftieth anniversary of wedded life. Mr. Stirewalt’s death occurred in May 1907. Mrs. Stirewalt is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Sallie Paieley and one son, Mr. BynumV. Stire- walt, both of Davidson. Thede. ceased has also a large number ' of relatives, especially great-nep. hews and uieces, Mr Wade Har- _ Fis, of Charlotte, being among the former. Mrs: Allison, of Stat- ' esville, who died about & year ago. was a& niece. For more than thirty years the family has been residing at Davidson, where’ their friends are without number. For many, many years, Mrs. Stirewalt has been a member of ‘the Presbyterian Church and an earnest, faithful Christian. Only last Sunday after the publiccom- munion at the church a special service was conducted by the session and paster at her home, but there was little expectation as she partook of the commun- ion that before another Sabbath dawned she would have been seated at the Marriage Supper of the Lambin heaven above. A good woman has certalaly gone to her reward. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would mever be heard of. A cold often ferms @ culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and_ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. The¢ ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these. diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- vérsally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess. For sale by all drugists. COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR IN NEW YORK.

TO ESTABLISH COTTON GRADES Committee Appointed by Congress and S€cretary of Agriculture Wil- son Will Fix Nine Official GradeS. Washiogton, Feb. 1.—Nir® official grades of cotton will be established by a committee which convened in Washington today. The meeting was called by act of Congress and Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, appointed the mem- bers. Among them are J. A. Arey, New Orleans; Joseph Aikers, Atlanta; F. W. Cramp, Memphis; John Mertin, Paris Tex; John W. Neville, New York, and Lewis W. Parker, of Green- ville, S. C., all member of widely known cotton firms. Nearly all of the important cotton exchanges in this country and Europe have contributed their standards free of cost for the use of these experts in es- tablishing the grades. The growers, manufacturers and ex- changes have cordially assisted in my ways. “For ten years I couldn’t ride a horse without being in torture from piles,” writes L. S.

Explosion in Alabama Workings Ree sults Fatally to Five White Miners and Two Negroes—The Trouble Brought About by a Windy Shot. Birmingham, Ala., Feb, 2—Seven- teen men are dead as the result of an explosion in the Number Two Short Creek mines of the Birmingham Coal and Iron Company this morning. Five of the dead are white and 12 are negroes. The explosion occurred between 11 “and 32 o’élock and is thought to have been caused by a windy shot. The mines are about 10 miles west of Ensley on the Birmingham South- ern Railroad and are difficult of ac- cess. The seventeen bodies were taken from the mines this morning and the rooms and passages are clear tonight, The mine itself is practi- cally uninjured. Alex Bonneyman, general manager of the company, was the first to leave Birmingham for the scene of the dis- aster although Mine Inspector Hill- house and Flynn hurried to the scene to render what aid they could and to make an inspection. Offi- cials of the company did not know the exact number of men in the mine at the time of the accident but they state tonight that 17 fatalities will be the total. Ambulances were sent from Ens- ley to the mines and late tonight coffins will be rushed out to the ill- fated mine. The mine was running on short force or the death list would probaly have been much larger. a ee At the Crystal, At the Crystal this afternoon the program will consist of the following two pictures, ‘‘Romeo and Juliet,” and “The Doctor’s Lunch.” The admission in the afternoon is 5 cents.

United States Naval Officer An- nounces That After Y€ars of Re- search and Study he Has Soived This Problem and Makes Public a N@w Nebular Hypothesis. San Francisco dispatch, 30th. Declaring fhat after continuous, study and investigation extending over a quarter of a century he had solved the problem of the origin of the solar system, Prof. T. J. J. See, United States navy,, the officer in okarge of the ohservatory at Mare Island gave tonight to the Astrono- mical Society of the Pacific the first anonuncement of a new nebular hy- pothesis, which he believes is destin- ed to permanently supplant that of Laplace, promulgated at Paris in 1796. He denies that the planets were ever detached from fhe sun when that globe was expanded into a nebu- la, filling the planetary orbits, and shows mathematical calculations to show that all these masses have been captured. Originally the system was a spiral spiral nebula of much larger; dimensions than at present, formed by the automatic ‘coiling up under streams of cosmical dust, which met in such a way as to produce a whirl- ing motion about a certre vortex. mutual gravitation thé spirals were } gradually drawn nearer together and the nuclei formed in these coils re- ‘volved in elliptical patlis o? farge ec- centricity. These original nucléf in the coiling streams were the begin- ning of the planets, which became larger by gathering up more cosmical dust, while at the same time their ‘orbits were reduced in _ size and rounded up under the secular action of the resisting medium against these bodies revolved. The resisting me- dium is the true secret of the round+ ness of the orbits of the planets and satellites The nearly perfect circu- larity of the orbits has always ex- cited the wonder of the greatest mathematicians. ~ This nebula’s_ resistance has greatly diminished the size and eccentricity of the original orbits so that our.so- lar system was in the begining much larger than it is known to be today.' But as Neptune’s orbit is almost an exact circle, Professor See feels con- fident, and so announced to the soci- ety tonight, that there still exists many unknown planets of considera- ble size above Neptune, some of which may yet be discovered. If Neptune were the outermost planet, he said, “the orbits would not be so round, for this circularity of the or- bit indicates that Neptune revolved for a Iong time against great resist- ance, and therefore, the nebula at that distance was dense enough to have afgrded matter for several other planets beyond. So that with the most powerful telescope we have as yet by no means reached the outer of course they want to be here, limits of the solar system.” white man. according to information |. ‘they rooted with the . FROZEN TO DEATH IN BOAT. Edward N. Wright Acci@entally Hurt, Skull Being Fractured, and Dies of Injuries and Exposure to Weather. Washington, N.

Wright, of this city, had been frozen to death while in a gas boat on Pamlico river last night en route for this city. Searching par- ties were immediately organized and started down the river looking for the missing man, his father leading the party. The gas boat Lena was located near the Black buoy atout 1 mile from this city and was to ving a raft of logs to this city. Upon boarding the boat the search ing party found young Wright lying in the bottom of the boat, with blood spattered allover the interior and his body frozen, his skull being crushed in. His body was immedi- ately brought to this city and Coro- ner Joshua Tayloe viewed the re- mains but decided no inquest was necessary as there was no evidences of foul play. ++ @r-o—__—_—_ THE NORTH CAROLINA COW. Her Marvelous Fighting Qualities as Reported From Asheville. Washngton Post, The North Carolina cow represents a strange type in evolution. From being a dull-eyed little beast with crumpled horns, a coat rough as cockleburrs and a spirit as listless as a mullen stalk’s, she has developed esthetic ideas. She has particularly asserted an aversion to the piano. Most eminent example of this sur- prising renaissance in the bovine na- ture was the Ashevillé cow which re- ‘cently broke her way into the music room of one of Asheville’s homes and assaulted the piano with such excessive violence that she broke off ‘her horns in the attempt t6 abolish it Finding herself thusfoiled and dis- armed in the presence of her enemy, the poor cow gave up the struggle and died, presumably ofa broken heart. coe Contemporary literature does not record the fundamental causes which have led to the extreme aversion ex- hibited by North Carolina cows to- ward pianos. Whether it be the stolid legs and grinning keyboards of the instruments themselves which give offense to fhe staid dignity of the cow or that the animals have en- dured too Tong the particular brand of popular song ‘‘executed”’ upon the piano by North Carolina maidens, is a question which the native ‘psycho- scientists in cow nature have not yet settled. But at all events the cow of those regions has proved heself a fierce creature with wofish appetite and a singularly hypersénsitized in- telligence, Twentyy earsag othegrandmotherfi Twenty years ago the grandmoth- ers of these Gorgons among the beasts of the pasture were content to chew the cud upon Dramble briers and pine needles.

Greensboro, Feb. 2.—A strange r, who had registered at the- Clegg Hotel as R.B. Varne, of Viginia, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head last night. He was found inan unconscious condition in his room soon _after10 o’clock and was hurried to St. Loe’s Hospital, where he died a few hours latter. The suicide used a 38-calibre re volver, the bullet entering the right temple and passing entire- ly through the head. The stranger arrived in Greens boro Sunday and spent al of yes- terday in his room. He left no message of any kind to identify him. He wore & Masonic emblem bearing the words, Charlotte Chapter, No 39 R. A. M.” His clothing bore the name of the little LongCompany of Charlotte. There is doubt as to the iden- tify of the man and some believe he is a Charlotte man and regis- tered under an ussumed name. Later reports say that the above mentioned man was Charles F. Wadsworth of Charlotte. Wadsworth went to Greensboro Saturday on a business trip. Last sight a stranger who had registered at the Clegg hotel as “R. B. Varne, Virginia,” shot himself through the head with a pistol, dying a few hours later at a hospital. The suicide left no message and the only means of identification was an emb- lem of the Charlotte chapter, Royal Arch Masons. Late this afternoon a former Charlotte citizen viewed the body and identified it as Wadsworth and this identification was finally es- tablished by close friends of the dead man who were wired for to come to Greensboro tonight. No cause can be assigned for the deed. The deceased was with two brothers at the head of a large and successful business enterprise and had «massed considerable wealth. He was 4 popular club man and influen- tial in business circles. He was about forty-two years old and is sur- vived by a wife and child. ——_++2>>_— ‘ STUDENT'S SKULL FRACTURED ¥erdie Whitaker Injured in Runaway Near Durham.

An effort was recently made to supplant the army mule with the traction engine. [-xperts were sum- moned to testify as to the compara- tive meriis~ of the engine and the mule, with the result above named. Science goes away limping. All the combined efforts of modern-day genius have failed completely and irretrievably to invent any sort of mechanism able to cope with him. The hearing brought out the fact that while the traction engine would best the Patron of Perversity on good roads on level country, the mule had the engine beat to a frazzle in mountainous country, where army' experts have spoken and Science must acept the answer. Again the mule carries off the blue ribbon. Whiie the News does not profess: any superabundant affection for him of the long ears and fleet heel it is willing to give the devil his dues, and it canot be gainsaid that when there is a difficult task to perform, when the aristocratic horse tries and fails, when all human agencies are spent in vain, then it ‘is that Balaam rises like a towering Colossus and saves the day. The mule is re- nowned for the heavy loads he is able to draw, as well as the enemies he makes. Like a great many people, he-is insidious, illusive, hard to lo- cate, but face to face with duty, he rarely ever shirks or implores quar- ter. The mule is not much of a mix- er. His greatest pleasure is found in silent communication with him- self, and woe is the man who at- tempts to disturb the reveries of a reminiscent mule. Neither is the mule of a sociable turn of mind. If! he were a woman no one could ever call her a coquette. As a snuggler she would be a dismal failure, and the last state of the man who at- tempted to make advances would be worse than the first. Fiery, high strung, bubbling over with the exhil- eration of robust health, the mule is, after all, a pretty good exponent of originaity and substantial w orth, and while the mule has never had’ any special reason to exult over a proud ancestry, the unanimous Opinion of the army experts must be flattering to his ears.—Charlotte News.

A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro- ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement. “Say, Uncle,” he asked, ‘do you always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?” The negro sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, “No, sah, but I jest busts when I sees it goin’ down a sewer.” The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the cellar. All the money that is put into newspapers isn’t taken out again by any means. The fact that all papers possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character in anewspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com- munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver- tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does not jear to leave about the house. . Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu- tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven’t money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes. It isn’t the number of readers reached but the number of readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing to arouse their atiention, but it’s a far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook 1s weak. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you’d select the fertile spot, realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. Just so the advertiser who really understands howghe is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts productivity first. He takes care that he is not putting his money into a sewer.

Refuses to Lay Without the Stimuiation of Nicotine Youngston, O., Jan. 31.—The saltiest old saltthat sails the sea does not love achew of tobacco better than doesa hen owned by Burt Miller, a lawyer, of this city. For more than a year the hen, which was always industrious and remunerative, has refused to Jay her customary eggeach day, unless her system is toned by tobacco. So each day Mr. Miller sets before her a can of chewing tobacco and she takes achew. The word ‘‘chew” is figurative for, of course noth- ing is rarer than hen’s teeth. This hen pecks at the tobacco in the can, plainly with grezt enjoy- ment, and, after holding it In her mouth awhile, ejects it. The iove of tobacco must be an acquired taste for a hen, just as are caviar and oiives for a man. Mr. Miller thinks his hen acxuired the taste by eating tobaccs quids which she found on the grounds after his man-of-all-work had no further use for them. The hen will chew only the best tine-cut of one particurar brand. She has refusei to taste samples of other brands sent to her by their manu- facturers, who may have had in mind the valne of an advertise. ment reading. ‘Even hens are not Ehappy until they get our “baccy.” Mr. Miller tried to cure his hen of the habit by giving her a “to- bacco cure.” It had no effect on her, however it may have on humans. She This hen’s eges have not the slightest taste or odor of nico- tine, but are “‘serictly fresh.” SS Sear€éd With a Hot Iron, or scaldad by overturned kettle—eut with a knife—bruised by slammed 5 door—injured by gun or in any other way—the thing needed at once is Bucklen’s Arnica Salve to subdue inflamation and kill the pain.

Sheri J. M_ Deaton this morning | received a letter from W. B. Griggs, | cashier of the Bank of Cartersville, ae stating that some one, giving | thelr name as &. D. Gaines, had | passed a bogus check in Lincolnton, this state, on the Bank of Carters- ville, Ga, for $20. The check was made pyaable to E, D. Gaines and en- dorsed by him. It is thought that the forger of this check is none other than Robert Cloer, who is now in the jail in this city for forgery. NEE E_ Tharpe, who is in the bank at Elkin which Cloer got for $20 was in the City yesterday after- hoon and identified Cloer as the Same man that did the stunt. Mr. Tharpe stated that Cloer came into the bank, representing himself as a farmer from Jonesville. near Elkin, and deposited $20, getting a certificate of deposit in return. A few days later Cloer returned to the band and stated that in pulling his handkerchief from his pocket, the certificafé had accidently fallen in the fire, and was burned up. He asked for and received a duplicate, bank, stating that his father was se- riously ill, and the $20 in the bank being all the -money he had, he wanted it, so he could go to see his father. The money was paid him, and the duplicate taken up by the bank, “= ieee} Cloer then went over to Winston, and got thé original certificate cash- ed at the People’s Bank in that city, and left Out for the tall uncut. —~~++@>-e—____ Gregory & Brawley’s Cotton Letter. Since our last. letter there has been quite a fumber of changes made in the cotton situation. The free offerings at an advance on prices together with a failure of no great importance in a Manchester house has had a tendency to depress the market and with today’s issue of this paper our market has held higher on best grades than quota- tions from other markets show. evi- dently showing a firm condition> The mills are careful to avoid lower grades but anxious to keep up their records on using the better grades and hence the lower grades may ex- pect to see lower figures. As to the future of the price of cotion this re- mains entirely with our planters. It will not be long before you will decide what acreage you are going to put in and if you do what you did last year yon can’t expect a reasona- ble remuneration for your cotton. Don’t let at the end of the season, in case of an advance mislead you. GREGORY & BRAWLEY. ———~+<+ 2 ———_—_——_ s Prisoners to the Pen. Sheriff J. M.

I have succeeded in getting a bar- ber shop for Statesville equal to any of its size in the state and if the peo- ple that are interested in their shav- ing and want this shop to exist they will be compelled to patronize it, for it is an evident fact that it can’t run withouf-a good liberal support, The main feature of the shop is its convenience and clean towels, the very best of bath arrangements and one of the greatest conveniences to the man that is always in a hurry, is that there is four barbers and you will not have to wait long.

Lippard Last spring, Mr. E. §. who has charge of the demonstration farm work in Iredell county offered a prize of $5.00 in gold to the man using the improved farming methods ; who would raise the most corn on one acre of land. Many of the farmers of the coun- ty entered the contest and Mr. J. M. Lippard of Fallstown township was the lucky man. He was awarded the prize, $5.00 in gold on yester- day. Mr. Lippard grew 90 bushels of corn of one and one fourth acre of land or at the rate of 72 bushels per acre, The next largest amount raised on an acre was 60 bushels, by anoth- er contestant. Mr. Lippard’s 90 bushels were really raised on about one acre of land, as a cow got loose and feasted oif of one corner of the field, and an- other corner of it yielded a bad stand. This litle test shows what demonstration does for the farmer, for it not only increases his yields on good land, but enables him to secure the knowledge of improving poor land, so it will yield well. A few days later he returned to the , —— Governor Patterson but would post- pone the inquiry and decision until tomorrow morning to which time court adjourned. ~————-—-2-4 >> PERSONAL MENTION.

When he was first seen ‘after the cover was removed, his head was ly- ing in a pool of blood death, result- ing almost instantly. é Mr. Cox has been a sufferer from Bright’s disease, and complained be- fore retiring last night, but nothing serious was thought of his trouble ‘as it was not out of the ordinary. What ever caused him to commit the rash deed cannot be accounted for, He was a very bright and intel- ligent young man, was considered wealthy hada pleasant home and everything from outward appearance to make a man comfortable, happy and bright. It is safe to Say that no death in years has so shocked the town as the death of Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox was 36 years old. He is the eldest son of Mr. O R. Cox, of Asheboro. He has been a resident of Thomasville just one year and has been the owner and in charge of the Thomasville Picker Stick factory since coming here, having built the plant which has been very successful. He has been married twice; first to Miss Lucy Creecy, of Worthville. To them three children were born. All died young some years after the death of his first wife. He was on November 28, married to Miss Jessie Pickett, of High Point. To them one child was born and is still living. He had friends by the score. There was not a better liked or more companjonable man in Thomasville— generous, openhearted, and likeable he drew his friends and acquaint- ances to him. He was prominently identified with the business interest of the city. After all has been said ti aded that he was a man. So may he rest; his faults lie gently on him. 1906, ——_——++@r-—____ Hot After Moonshiners in Surry] Winston-alemS, Feb. 3.—Sheriff C.

Wilson, N. are powerful dry times and a nip of the stuff that cheers and for # time makes a mana forget his troubles is as hard to get as itis to make a successful trip to the north pole. Around Neverson—a new town on the Norfolk apd Southera road, it is especially hard to get —no one has any except those who are able to order. Neverson Williams is one of the fortunate (or unfortunate) ones, but it was not necessary for him to order—he had it in bis brandy house, where it has been for lo! these many years—apple brandy, good old Nash brandy of his own manaufacture; rich and mellow brandy with a jar of honey standing hard by. None but those who stood in close with Neverson, were ever allowed to enter that brandy house and gaze on the oak-bound keg and that jar of old honey. A few nights siace some one stealthily entered the sacred pcr- tals of Neverson’s brandy house and took away brandy, keg and all, and, as Neverson expresses it, ‘ding ’em, they didn’t even leave the bung hole.” 4p Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the Most Popular Because it is the Best. “T have sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for the past eight years and find it to be one of theb est selling medicines on the market.

Kelly, a patient in the George town Hospital, will soon be walk- ing around, say the surgeons. Kelly was injured several months aco and after suffering went to the hospital where it was declared amputation was imperative. Just about the time the surgeons were preparing the patient for amputation, another inmate in the hospital died. Permission was gained before the man’s body was cold and the knee joint cut out. Kelly was placed under chloroform and knee joint re- moved. In less than halfanhour he was wearing the knee joint of the dead man. The surgeons say the operation has been performed but once be. fore in history. —+<@><+: PLOT TO KILL KING, oe Former Sailor Arrested at Lisbon— Was Chosen to Throw Bomb— Two Accomplices Escaped.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

Miller. who conducts a grocery store in the north ward near the graded school, went to open up his iace of business yesterday morning he found that the front door had been blown open either with dynamite or nitro glycerine, the money drawer robbed and a quantity of goods and a shot gun stolen. A pile of paper had been set on fire, evidently with the intention of burning the building to cover up The robbery, but fortunately the fire went out before the wood- work canght. There is no clue to the robbers. It was a bold piece of work as the store is 1 ocated in a thickly settled neighborhood and an are light hangs close by. The door Was a complete wreck. 12> EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. Having qualified as executor of the last will and testament of Hiram A.

Wm_ Duncan and the First As- sociate Reformed church of Char- lotte. The Presbytery, after one of the most bitter sessions ever held in the history of the A. R. P. church voted to dissolve the relations be- {tween Rev. Duncan and the First {church of Charlotte by 2 vote of 21 [to £7. Leading in the fight against Mr. Dunean, were the ministers in the immediate seCtion lotte. The followings is found against surrounding Char- the Duncan by the comission of invesiigation of the church on November 1908 and re- ported to the Presbytery in session in Charlotte on Nove. 17, 1908: Guiity of Indiscretion. “The commission to investigate the7rouble in the First church of Charlotte would report as follows: “We conclude, after our investiga- tion of all the facts that there was no fntentional wrong in Rev, Wil- liam Dunean’s writing the letters in question, but there seems to have been more or less indiscretion in the letters. judging from the impression ] made upon reliable parties who read them. “As to the Gebts of Brother Dun- ean. while there were strons miti- gating circumstances for their ex- istence, we think he has not used that strict care that becomes a min- ister of the gospel, against becoming involved in debt, and we exhort him to use the utmost diligence to dis- charge these debts as soon as possi-, ble. “Believing, Ta view of all the cir- cumstances, that greater injury would result from dissolving the pastoral relations than otherwise, we therefore recommend that the | pastoral relation be not dissoived. ‘SRespectfully submitted, | om.

So they have, with their usual prompt and efficient action establish- ed a rigid and inflexible rule that he who is caught playing marbles ‘‘for keeps” will thereby forfeit all the “peas” in his possession at the time.

He regards this as one of the most important is- ' sues of the present term and is very anxious to prevent any further prac- tice of this infantile gambling.

As the south bound passenger] train pulled out from the Southern Railway station here last Thursday night a Singular incident of romance and daring happened. The youth of color bid his little black Venus good-bye and told her that he would re turn soon. She pleaded with her beaux de black not to forsake her and pledged her undying love and yearning to be with him all the time. Evidently the youth had promised not to leave her and she declared that if he must go, she would follow him anywhere. But his ltttle black Venus would not listen to his rea- sonings and pleaded for his consol- ing presence. Reluctantly he said good-bye and as the train puffed away he was seated composedly in the “Jim Crow’’ department dream- ing of his love he thought he left behind. But when the conductor made his round through the train, collecting the tickets, he discovered the negro girl seated on the rear platform step, pursuing her lover who had promis- ed never to leave her. There she was riding peacefully and contented, for she knew her lover was 1n the Jim Crow car ahead. The conductor politely invited her off the train at Patterson Springs and just’ as he did so the train left that station. In an incredibly short space of time she ran the full length of the train and stood in the middle of the track, When the train approached she boun ced with the lightness of a bird and fearlessness of a flagman on the pi- lot of the engine running thirty miles an hour. Her white frock waving in the breeze as the train pushed on startled the engineer and he stopped his train. The lady of color was discovered clinging to the irons of the pilot, but seemingly not in the least frightened or disconcerted Again she was invited to leave the train about one mile from Ear) sta- tion, and the train pulled on bearing her lover. Therupon she hastened herself down the track as fast as she could in hot pursuit of the horrid train that was bearing her lover away. She reached Earl station before the train left again and boarded it the third time, this time on the trucks of the coach, the most perilous place of all. The train crew discovered her again and after a chase of several minutes about the station she was captured and taken into the coach. Happy now she was, for by her side sat the gen- tleman of color who had caused her to risk her life in the most dangerous manner. The conductor said that never in the least did she appear frightened or unnerved. A message was sent to Blacksburg, asking Chief Duncan to receive her at the station. The engineer declared that in the 23 years of experience in that capacity he had never seen female ride the ‘ pilot of an ngine. In fact he said it was the most daring and blood curdling ride he had ever witness- ed. —_———~++2>-——_____ A Mode of Card Thanks. The following card of thanks re- cently appeared in a Kansas town: “I wish to thank the city authorities for quaranteening me and my family for two weeks recently because one of my children Nad the smallpox. During that time my wife caught up with her sewing, and being undis- turbed by callers at meal time we had three square meals a day, as no one came and she was not permitted to go out. We enjoyed two weeks of good long night's sleep, and best of all, a cousin with our four chil- dren, who arrived to visit us, saw the smallpox sign on the door and left town so scared she will never come back again.” —_——_+-~@>e—___- A Puzzle For You. A farmer found a one dollar bill and appropriated it, by right of dis- covery, to himself. He went to town and paid it to the newspaper man on what he owed him; the newspaper man handed it over to a merchant on his account; the merchant paid his meat bill with it: and the butch- er paid it back to the original finder to finish paying for a calf he had pur- chased. After which the farmer took it to the bank and discovered it to be counterfeit, and the next Sunday put into the Missionary collection. Query: Are all these debts cancell- ed with the spurious one dollar? ——_~~+<~@>-e—____. Did Not Get Here. A letter from _ the special repre- sentative of the Isaac Hamburger ¢ Sons, tailors of Baltimore who was to have been here today and tomor- row with the Sloan Clothing Com- pany, with a Time of samples to take orders for clothes, says that he has been detained“and cannot reach this city until Monday.

Lexington Dispatch. Last week when Governor Glenn arrived in his old home town of Win- ston-Salem for the first time since he stepped out of the office of gav- ernor, his old neighbors gave him a rousing welcome. The mayors of Winston and Salem, and other lead- ing men, made short talks and the governor responded in his old-time way. It was a neat compliment on the part of the people of the Twin- City to pay the distinguished gentle- man, and the applause when he was seen and when he arose and started to speak, was deafening and prolong- ed. The Winston Sentinel says: “When I entered the office of gov- ernor four years ago,” said the gov- ernor “I felt a weakness, and if there is anything the office did for me it was to convince me beyond all doubt that there is a higher power than man’s at work in the universe. I thought that I should have a rest. There was a claim on the sea of state and I did not see that clouds were arising and that I was to have the stormiest administration since 1861.’ The governor then referred to pay- ing the South Dakota bonés. his work for the unfortunate people of the state, the prohibition fight, and the railway questions. The governor said that he had written to the officers of every country in the state to get a list of the state’s unfortunate and had found that there were 700 and that he had the legislature to give enough money to keep these people comfortably and that all be well eared for. The welcome was a great success and was heartily enjoyed by all who attended. Music was furnished by a_selected orchestra and the people lingered after the speaking to wel- come the governor personally. Win- ston-Salem is proud of the governor’s record and welcomes him back to the Twin-City as a private citizen. Governor Glenn stated that he would never again ask for a public Office, as he thought the people had already given him more than he de- served. He will do missionary work for the Presbyterian church as a lay- ‘man in the future, besides going on the lecture platform. ——++ar-——__ ~ If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.

Ever stop to think, you middle aged people, of the things that were so familiar in your early days but which have practically disappeared? It will be interéSting to call some of them. - = | For instance, there is the ‘‘button strings’’ that the girls used to make. Every girl in the neighborhood had a button string, and the girl who could get the greatest variety of but- tons on her string was the envied one. 7 ; Then there was the ‘“what-not,” often made of spools, always three- cornered, and always used to hold the trinkets of no intrinsic value but of incalculable worth from a senti- mental point of view. Usually a china vase occupied the top shelf and was always in imminent danger of falling off when a heavy man or woman walked across the floor. Then there was the ‘‘hair wreath,” made of some deceased relative’s hair and wrought around a photo- graph of the original owner, This was enclosed in a deep glass case and hung on the parlor wall. Remember the old home’s kitchen? To be sure,~and you remember the cupboard with holes in a most intri- cate pattern. The “upper part held a supply of bread, cookies, etc. That is, it would hold cookies for a little while. Funny how rapidly cookies would leak out through those tinv litle holes in the tin front. From the kitchen to the parlor of the old home is not a far cry, but thank goodness the old-fashioned “parlor” has practically disappeared If it boasted an ingrain carpet it wouldn’t do to let the sun shine in for that would fade the carpet. And of all the gloomy, uncomfortable, appalling places within memory, the old-time “parlor” is entitled to first place. The carpet was laid over straw to settle until the carpet did not resemble the waves of the ocean in a storm. z And the ‘“‘spare bed room!’? Gee whiz, how cold that room could get in winter! Peary in his dashes for the pole never endured the agony of cold like the unfortunate guest who was consigned to the old time “‘spare bed room” on a January night. Remember the aroma that filled the house when mother madeé “salt risin’’’ bread? That is, it was de- lightful if you liked that sort of aro- didn’t it taste good? didn’t i taste good? If the “button strings” have dis- appeared—along with the autograph album—you can bet the girls have something else in place thereof, and something much more expensive. The “what not” has given way to the expensive china closet, the tin- front cubpoard has given way to the patented kitchen cabinet, the “hair | wreath” has given way to etchings and artist’s proofs, and the dismal old parlor has given way to the sunny front room with its rugs and hard wood floors and windows that seldom }: have the curtains drawn, The “spare bed room’? is now warmed by the furnace, and “salt risin’”’ bread is an almost forgotten luxury—for luxury it would be compared with the bakers. bread of today. After all, it is much more pleasant to sit and recall those old times and old things that it would be to have to endure them again after experi- ence with more Modern things. ++ —_—_ ’Twas Glorious Victory.

Ten-Peny Nail in a Liver. Fort Mill Times. That a hog-could live and thrive with a ten-penny nail through its liver, seems almost incredible, yet such’an occurrence has recently téx- en place in Fort Mill. The hog that accomplished this extraordinary feat was owned by Mr, W. W. Kimbrell and was slaughtered last Monday. The nail was old and rusty and bore evidence of having been in this posi- tion for some time. The hog show- ed no signs of discomfort by reason of the nail through its liver, and that organ likewise was in a healthy state when the hog was killed. Now, the question is, how did the nail get into its very unnatural position. or Washington’s Plague Spots lie in the low, marshy bottoms of the Potomac, the breeding ground of malarial germs.

New York, Feb. 5.—One man was’ killed and three others injured in a riot incited, the police declare, by walking delegates of a garment mak- ers’ union, who descended upon the tailoring establishment of Jacob Greenfield in East Second street late this afternoon and attempted to coerce the employes of the place into quiting work. The alleged walking delegates ac- companied by a half hundred strik- ing garment workers broke into the work rooms of the establishment and proceeded to wreck the place. Jacob Greenfield and Wolf Greenfield, a brother, employed as foreman, at- tempted to prevent the wholesale de- struction of the shop and a melee ensued in which clubs, shears and pressing irons were freely used. A call for the police brought out the reserves and the rioters dispersed. Samuel Hann was found with a broken skull and later died. Jacob Greenfield, Wolf Greenfield and Baesgo Cassello, an employe, were badly Dattered. — +e WOMAN BRUTALLY MURDERED. Negro Kills Wife Because She Would Not Live With Him. Winston-Salem, Feb. 5.—Charles Ferrell, a negro about 34 years old, brutally murdered his wife, Chrissie this afternoon as she sat in her home on Highland avenue. He fired four shots from a revolver, killing her in- stantly.

Ferrell escaped immediately, but his capture will soon be effected, the uolice say. ; ———————— > 4, Failure Not 2 Disgrace, What an_ unfortunate thing that the idea should be dinned into the ear of youth everywhere, that it isa disgrace to fail—that is, to fail te make money, to accumulate pro- perty.

Wilmington, Feb. 4.—A long distance telephone message just received from the office of the Waceamaw Lumber Company at Bolton states that Sheriff Knox and posse overtook Walker, the escaped slayed of Sheriff Stan- land in Brumswick county, and that his accomplice, Dudley, sur- rended.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms @ culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro- ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement. “Say, Uncle,” he asked, “do you always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?” The negro sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, “No, sah, but I jest busis when I sees it goin’ down a sewer.” The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the cellar. All the money that is put ito newspapers isn’t taken out again by any means. The fact that all papers possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character in anewspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com- munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the umpleasant adver- tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does not fear to leave about the house. Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu- tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven’t money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes. It isn’t the number of readers reached but the number of readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing to arouse their attention, but it’s a far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook 1s weak. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you'd select the fertile spot, realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. Just so the advertiser who really understands howghe is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts productivity first. He takes care that he is not putting his money into a sewer.

A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro- ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement. “Say, Uncle,” he asked, “do you always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?” The negro sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, “‘No, sah, but I jest busts when I sees it goin’ down a sewer.” The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the cellar. All the money that is put imto newspapers isn’t taken out again by any means. The fact that all papers possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character in anewspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com- munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver- tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does not fear to leave about the house. Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu- tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven’t money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes. It isn’t the number of readers reached but the number of readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing to arouse their attention, but it’s a far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook is weak. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you’d select the fertile spot, realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. Just so the advertiser who really understands howhe is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts productivity first. He takes care that he is not putting his money into a sewer.

Historians are see-date writers. An egotist is a man of one I-dear. The Age lovers long for is mar- riage. Conceit like any other seat should be sat down upon. The ship in which the fondest hopes go down in ruin is courtship. The line that a maiden likes to hang upon is masculine. And now the briliant Pansy wants to know if a man is guilty of burg- lary when he breaks into a laugh. It is perfectly natural for a good looking last to like a good looking glass. And now fie sympathetic Pansy wants to know if resolutions of con- dolence and sympathy should be framed in pine. The man who is slow to express fin opinion, might as well lesson the expense and send it by freight. And now the brilliant Pansy says that after serious reflection she has comes to the conclusion that time was raised in the lapse of ages. Pansy says it was so amazing to see how quickly that vain and con- ceited up start arose when he sat down upon ‘‘the spur of the mo- ment.”’ The man who stutters is like glue because he sticks to everything he says, and as a iiient and_ graceful speaker he is an utter failure, Yes, indeed, a successful dentist might appropriately be called a root doctor, and he has many achers to cultivate, too, and strange to say the greater his prosperity the oftener he “looks down in the mouth.”’ As the warm bright sunshine scat- ters the mists of morning, and gives fo the bending“sky brightness and glory light so~ will a woman’s smile seatter all clouds of gloom and de- spondency, and made the sky of ex- istence glisten with radiant cheer and comfort. ~ —_— An old axiom says that he that expends gold properly is its master: he who loves it and hoards it up isa fool; and he who worships it and idolizes it, isa slave; and that the real philosopher and truly wise man is the man who has none in his pos- session. That last sentence stamps us as being a philosopher and a truly Wise man. ——++2@>-__ Washington's Plague Spots lie in the low, marshy bottoms of the Potomac, the breeding ground of malarial germs.

Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 8.—The nineteenth day closed with the jury still incomplete in the case of the state a Opes Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp, pan with the murder of former senator E. W. Carmack. One juror, the eleventh, in the person of W. A. Adeock, young farmer was sent into the box Before he was secured 221 talesmen were examined. Of these only seven were able to qualify and six of these were challenged peremp- torily. The state now has left three such challenges and the defense thir- ty-six. There is something lik® 200 : mes yet available in the’ present yenire, from which an effort will be made to seCure the twelfth juror. Most of the members of this venire iive in remote parts of the county where newspapers are seldom read because of illiteracy. The few from Nashville and vicinity cannot qualify as jurors because of having read the testimony at the application for bail. There was today the usual sprinke» ling of loafers who find the warm court room and comfortable chairs a delightful resting place during the cold weather. These men and boys come early and stay until put out at night. Some read papers nearly all day. Others sleep peacefully at timesbut none pay a great deal of at- tention to the court proceedings. A. L. Mills, a talesman excused be- cause he had formed an opinion was once a candidate for governor on the populist ticket. The fourth man in the sécond panel. D. M. Bannister admitted that his eye sight was fail- ing, but promptly added: ‘‘But I kin see to shoot a rifle jest as good as I ever could.”’ Asked how many children he had, he replied: “Ef they be all livin’? now, and they wuz when last I heard from ’em I've got eight.’? The state challenged Bannister. Joe Templeton, a farmer who can neither read nor write, had not heard that Carmack was killed and did not know the defendants. His clothing hung in tatters from his body and he had not been shaved for weeks. The State readily accepted him as a juror but the defense, after long delibera- tion excused him. It was 3:50 p. m. before the eleventh juror, W. A. Aa- cock, was accepted. Efforts to se- Cure another juror failed and court adjourned at 5 o’clock with one place in the hox still vacant. ———~+<+e>e—_——_ It°ms From Faith.

Prominent Citizen Charged With Trifling With a Widow’s Affec- tions. The Mascot is informed that for some time it is alleged one of our prominent citizens has paid more or less attention to a young and beautiful widow, of this place, for- getting, or at least not heeding the advice of the immortal Mr. Weller to his son Samuel to “beware of the widders.”’ He claims that he was not serious in his intentions and that he was not attached to her, but however that may have been the widow be- came attached to him, and as he seems to have lost interest in the matter, she has attached his proper- ty which is a form of attachment he does not enjoy, The result is that he fnds himself the defendant in a first class Breach of Promise case and his questionable attitude towards te widow will be given an afring in the near future, in the court. The parties in the case are very prominent people of the city, the lady in question being of one of the foremost families in the city, while the young man is one of the largest business men in the city. It is fear- ed that the interest in the case will ; cause the court house to be filleld to an overflow, because so many are interested in the trial that every one will want to attend. For certain rea- sons the names of the lady and gen- tleman involved in this trial are with held, but will be made public at a later date. The trial will be held on Thursday night, Feb. 18, in the court house, and is no other than a Mock Court Trial, given under the auspicies of the Junior order of the Methodist ehurch, the proceeds to go to the finishing of the’ new church. It will be one of the most enjoyable affairs of many years as a large number of our leading people will take part in the proceedings. ———4++ > Resolutions Adopted. At a meeting of the members of the bar and officers of court held at Statesville, N. C., February 6, 1909, after the adjournment of a two two’ weeks term of court, and after the departure of his Honor, E. B. Jones, judge presiding, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, We are not in the habit of adopting resolutions praising judges for doing their duty and do not regard such _ resolutions with favor except in special circum- stances and based on cogent reasons; but Judge Jones, during his two weeks of court at this place has done such honest, faithful and thorough work, and has disposed of such an enormous amount of both criminal and civil business, thus clearing a badly congested docket, that we feel it but.simple justice to record our appreciation of the Valuable ser- vices he has rendered thé public: In our relations with him, person- al and official, we have found him easy of approach, courteous and patient, but always insisting that the ‘business shall go forward 4nd not lag; firm and outspoken in his opin- ions, but willing to hear both sides: fearless and impartial in the dis- charge Of his duties; just without cruelty or vindictiveness, and not ashamed to show mercy to the erring and unfortunate. _————_++o-o—_——_———_ Hawks Being Killed.

A household fuss of last night { wound up in Judge King’s court to- day, when Estell Cowan, a negro girl was arrested and put on trial before Judge King with four witnesses against her. It seems that Estell had gone home yesterday evening and cooked her some bread when her mother came in and threw it out of the house. This aroused the “old nick’? in the girl, and she immedi- ately made a sound like gétting some of her mother’s bread in a wash- stand in the room. This the old lady objected to and a general row ensued, in which, it is said, shovels chairs and hair pulling took place. The state witnesses testified that they saw the girl strike her mother while the story of the girl was not supported by any other persons. After hearing both stories, Judge King gave wstell a good lecture for hitting her mother, and sentenced her to ten days in the Jail, provided the costs were not paid within two weeks. The witnesses in the case said that the girl was a continual fuss raiser in her community, one saying she was always “ripping and cussing about.’’ —_—— 1 “Entertain Youse.” Today a negro woman on the street waS asked by another who was in a wagon if she did not want to ride home.

Growing in Int€rest—A Number of Prizes Offered—More About The Plans oi The Work. As stated in our last issue County Superintendent of Education, L. O. | White, who is in “co-operation with the Demonstration work of the Na- tional Department of Agriculture, has been pushing the work of the organization of Boy’s Corn Clubs. The value of this work is apparent to every one and need not be dis- cussed here Suffice it to say that the main object is to stimulate an interest in farm work by studying soils, crops, fertilizers, plant breed- ing, methods of cultivation, etc. Last weeek Prof. White and Mr. C. R. Hudson organized clubs in schools as follows: Gilbert and Elgin schools in Shi- loh township; Davidson and Ramsey schools in Statesville township ; Troutman and Bells Cross Roads schools in Fallstown township; Ken- nedy in Davidson township; Oak- ridge and Linwood schools in Coddle Creek township Since first starting the work they have found it advis- able to extend the age limits to from 10 to 20 years of age and to admit into the clubs farmers’ boys between the ages who may not be in school. This was done because a number of boys who were not of the proper age and who were not in school wanted to get into the movement. The large number ‘of prizes which will be offered will make the work very attractive to the boys. In the first place the boys in each local club are to give the boy in that club who makes the biggest yield 100 of their best ears of corn, ten ears to be on stalks. This fortunate boy is to contrib- ute 100 of the best ears he has to the County Corn Fair to be held by the Iredell Boy’s Corn Club Fair this fall at Statesville. After these exhibits have been inspected and,- passed upon the corn will be sold for seed corn to farmers who make the highest bid for it. The proceeds are to go into the county organiza- tion. Still other prizes are to be given in the various townships by prominent men who have already signified their intention of offering a prize for the best yield of corn. Prof. White and Mr. Hudson will raise the money for three prizes as follows: $15.00 for the biggest yield per acre; $10.00 for the least cost per bushel; $5.00 for the best corn grown. The State Department of Agriculture through Mr. T. B. Parker has offered $100.00 to be di- vided into three parts and given to three boys in the State who make the largest yield per acre. The ex- hibits will be made by number so that the judges will not know who grew the corn. It is suggested that farmers show their interst in an appreciation of this work by letting their boys farm on halves on the acre or by letting the boys have the corn grown on the acre after al expenses are paid out of the crop. In other words to give their boys at least as good chance to make something farming as are given to tenants. Farmers in these various communities ought also to raise some small prizes to help stim- ‘ulate the work. The boys may get benefit from this work in several respects To begin with they will be taught the proper preparation of the seed bed. They will then be taught how to get the best and cheapest fertilizers foq corn. They will be given some in- structions in regard to how to se- cure good seed to plant and what constitutes well bred corn. Good seed corn for this work can be ob- tained through the Farmers Co-op- erative Demonsiratiion work through Messrs. Duke and Millsaps who have just organized a seed ageticy ‘at Statesville, from Mr. F_ T. Meacham, Statesville, and from various good farmers in the county who have been giving attention to improvement of corn. Methods of cultivation will follow next. In the fall these boys ‘will be given some special instruc- tions in regard to seed selection. They will get something valuable in a business way through the keep- ing of the records which show the the acre and the cost of the growing of the corn. This is 4 work which every farmer in the county who has boys which he wishes to Keep on the farm and who wants to have them to be able to farm successfully should at once take up the matter with them. eee : [_ —' ; Continued on Page ‘Three. - lighted at his reception here, f hicago Flyer is Derailed a TWO ARE DEAD IN THE CRASH.

The reason is apparent. In one dis- trict the solicitor had twice as much work as the solicitor in another. The same argument applies to county officers. A salary in one county, to sheriff, clerk or register, which would be fair, would not be fair to these officers in another. The cure for any apparent injustice in the fee system is to red ce the amount of the fees in any given county. The legisla- ture should not hear to the salary idea as of general application.’’ The Observer has gone pointedly to the mark on this question with its usual precision on all subjects. Not only is the work greater in some counties but along with it goes the greater responsibility and increased expense to maintain the office. It is certainly unjust to take an officer’s remuneration and leave upon him the responsibility. If suit is brought against him for any cause he must bear the legal responsibility and ex- pense. Several suits have been brought against the register of deeds of this “county in past and while he won out in all except One case he lost the ex- pense in defending the suits. Those who say that the fee system is wrong for the officers but right for the county take rather an inconsistent position. It is virtually saying the fee system is wrong as long as the Officers get all the fees but it is al- right if you divide with us. It is also a fact well known that there is a continued increase in living ex- penses and a constant ery for in- crease of wages by those who are on Salaries and they always get it and that too by the aid and consent of those who are now after the county offices.. In the county in this state that first adopted the salary system the clerk of the superior court will receive af- ter this legislature within four dol- lars and _ sixty-six cents by actual count of the total amount of fees that was paid him last year as shown by the auditors sworn report in taht county. The salary of the clerk was increased every session of the legis- lature with other officers until he is now receiving in salary an amount equal to the fees and the Same thing is so in other counties Where tie Salary system has been adopted. The taxes of the tax payers have hot been reduced in a single instance. Those who object to the fee system for the reaSon also, as they say, that it is abused by the officers will find that if an officer is disposed to do this he will have far sreater temp- tation and opportunity to do this under the salary system. lit’ will be a great temptation to not collect out of his constituents when he is seeking favor With them and wanting to stay in. Besides it is a fact that when hard times are upon the county the returns in fees to the county officer drops off and if he should be on a salary the pernicious fee system may not bring in enough To pay it and leave the burden on the tax payers. It is also a fact that the county offi- cers are usually the most popular men in their counties and have to put up all the party expenses and necessarily have considerable influ- ence With their representatives so that if getting a Salary it is an easy matter to get an increase in salary as is now being done in nearly every county where salaries exist. ——__—_~@>—___.... years Shipping Cats to Japan.

An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com- munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. | No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have | his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver- tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does not fear to leave about the house.

Itisnot kuown exactly how the accident occvrred. The first alarm that any of the employees heard was the shrieks of the lad. Joe Askinson, a negro empioyee, was first to reach the injured boy and quickly recured him. Every that the medical profession could do was done, but death finally came about 9 o,clock. Washington’s Plague Spots lie in the low, marshy bottoms of the Potomac, the breeding ground of malarial germs. These germs cause chills, fever and ague, biliousness, jaundice, lassitude, weakness and general debility and bring sufferfng or death to thousands yearly. But Electric Bitters never fail to destroy them and cure malaria troubles. “They are the best all round toni, and cure for malaria I ever used,”’ writes R. M, James, of Lonellen, S- C.

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the mdst dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of.the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when & good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess. For sale by all drugists. in preventing! ., A CRAZY IMMIGRANT.

Thehospital was established at Montrose, Cum- berland county, and this item from the Sanford Eepress shows that it is in operation: “Dr. Evander Mclver has re- turned from Montrose, where he had been in charge of the State Hospital ior Consumptives for a few days. He says there are now '14 patients there receiving treat- jmment. They are charged $1 a day each for the service. This is actual cost. Dr. McIversays the hospital is well equipped, but the appropriation from the State is hardly sufficient to employ enough servants and defray the other expenses. He thinks this ; hospital will do great work in curing and stamping out tuber- culosis in the State.’’ ’ —_————_—~++@>-e—_———_- This is a common form of muscular rheumatism. No internal treatment is neded. Apply Chamberlain’s Lin- iment freely three times a day and a quick cure is certain.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the Most Popular Because it is the Best. “T have sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for tho past eight years and find it to be one of theb est selling medicines on the market.

An offer of $10,900 aweek for an engagement of thirty weeks with an organization to be known as ‘“Roose- velt’s Congress of Rough Riders” has been formerly made to President Roosevelt by a former circus man, acting for a Bridgeport, Conn., syn- dicate. In his letter the circus man asked for an appointment. He con- siders $10,000 a week going some. The syndicate is ready to furnish a private car or two. All the presi- dent is asked to do is to make one appearance in the show. His part would be to lead a charge of San Juan Hill, followed by a Buffalo Bill outfit. —_——__++@e——————_ UNPUNISHED MURDERERS. Nowhere except, perhaps, in Cor- sica or Sicily are murderers so len- iently treated as in America. Hu- man life has become an exceedingly cheap commodity in this county which in so many other respects is a leader in enlightenment and civili- Too few murderers are punished. Kill and go free has come to be a most unfortunate rule. Take a human life on any flimsy pretext, set up a still more flinisy wall of in~ sanity or self-defense, get expert tes- timony on brain storms, confuse the jury, and the murderer is at liberty. Just where the fault Ties is difficult to say. But as things go now the American jury system is a failure in this one respect at least. The same evidence that would inevitably hang aman in kngland, and hang him quickly, would not convince an American jury in nine out of ten cases.—Philadelphia Press. —_——__~~++ ee A Memorial to the Educational Com({ mitt€e of the General Ass¢mbly on Behalf of the State’s Higher Edu+ cational Institutions. A sense of duty to the state and he the institutions which we represen/ compels us to make a frank state- ment concerning their condition. We need not enlarge upon the ne-~ cessity for the higher training of the young men and young women of North Carolina. The future of the. state depends upon this. If the num- ber at present in these institutions were doubled it would not equal thd proportion in other progressive com- monwealths.» : Your higher institutions are abso- lutely unable to meet the demandy which are made upon them or to en= large their work. The needs of an institution are not determined by its president or board of trustees, but by the necessities of a growing state. The repeated calls for aid coming from these institu- tions are simply an evidence of the growth of .:e people and of their reaching forward for better and high- er things. cm We have stated these needs as our experience and careful study show themg to be. We earnestly counsel the reprsentative of the people that in some way they provide means to place these institutions upon a foot- ing for efficient and satisfactory ser- vice for eight or ten years to come. Our statements cover this in so far as it is possible for us to foresee the probable demands which will be upon these instituions. We believe that if the people of North Carolina thoroughly under- stood the great work now being done by these institutions, their worthi- ness, their needs present and future, and the urgent pressure upon them to care for ana“ thefr sons and daughters, they would heartily en- dorse any provision made by you to place them in a position for service befitting a great state.

A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro- ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the blesk man glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement. “Say, Uncle,” he asked, “do you always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?” The negro sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, “No, sah, but I jest busts when I sees it goin’ down a sewer.” The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the cellar. All the money that is put into newspapers isn’t taken out again by any means. The fact that all papers possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character in a newspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking _ sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It may be perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. | It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com- munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the zome sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver- - tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does not jear to leave about the house. Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu- tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven't money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes. It isn’t the number of readers reached but the number of readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing to arouse their atiention, but it’s a far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook is weak. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you’d select the fertile spot, realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. Just so the advertiser’ who really understands howghe is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts productsvity first. He takes care that he is not putting his money into a sewer.

Plans are under way by the state’s attorneys to obtain wholesale indict- ments against Bauman on charges of bigamy and more than 500 indict- ments on charges of swindling. Detective Wooldridge produced in Judge Clifford’s court a list of nearly 200 victims and said others were coming to the front by the score each day.

New York, Feb. 9.—Desperate because she had been jilted by him, Martha FEricsen, a young” woman, early today waylaid Ernest Schere- mann who keeps a grocery store, and shot him three times.

A Young Man Killed at the Oil Mill in That Town. ~ A telephone message from Mooresvile late this afternoon relates one of the most horrible accidents in the history of Iredell county. Mr. Fred Perry, a wei known young man of that town who is em- ployed at the oil mill, became en- tangled in a pote in someway this afternoon at 2:45 o’clock and was tastantly — The young man is supposed to have been engaged in atténding to some of the machinery when he was accidently caught by the belt. The entire top of his head was cut off in the contact with the pulleys, and his body otherwise bad- ly bruised. “ir. Perry was only 18 years old and and is survived by a mother and several brothers and sisters. Later. A later report from Mooresville says he became entangled in the belt, which jerked him into the tastly re- voiving shafting, and before the en- gine could be stopped, the body was revolved on the shafting about one hundred times. Every time the shafting revolved the body was crush ed against the ceiling overhead, tearing every stitch of the clothing from it and mangling it almost be- yond recognition. Mr. Perry is survived by a widow- ed mother, Mrs. M. A. Perry of Mooresville, and two sisters and three brothers. aT ——_ +~+@>-e—_____. PERSONALS.

As his is the day in which through the Mascot that our opinions are to taken either pro or con on the cot- ton situation we are as always have stated are trying to give an unbiased opinion as to the present and future of the staple. In our last issue we thought cotton was in good hands when March contracts were selling at only 9.00. When now with a de- cline of 15 points our market is still paying the same price. What does this indicate’ A decline or a steady market may be attributed to some vance. The recent depression in this market May be attributed to some accumulations of yarns and goods, the mills running night and day, which evidently proves better figures in the near future and these spas- modic fluctuations caused by specu- lations really do not indicate the actual value of the raw material. It is self evident that you can overload a market éither in eggs, butter or anything else, by getting prices that while not satisfactory, the owners of the above described property, are not willing to take a risk for a farther advance as necessity compels the sale. But this does not stop the advance in cotton which we all must agree if We can rely upon the faith- ful promise from the honest farmer, “T hain’t agoin’ to plant noné next If you will just get down to one half of the truth in your dicision on the coming séason and 4s an old | proverb, raise your actual necessi- } | ) | ties, letting cotton be your money Scop you will have a good time in the ' old land yet. Now as to pricés paid by our local market we have always our record before you and as we go to press this evening read Charlotte quotations ! and sée ifStatésville is not on eefghth higher and these prices aer acutlly paid upon our streets. We are not fighting othér markets but simply from a recent issue of some other paper claiming a higher price mar- ket than our Own, We havé failed to see where our figures have been beat.

Judiciary committee, which was ap- pointed week ago to consider the appointment of Herbert F. Seawell, as district judge, has not helda meeting as yet. Senator Overman who is a member of this committee, said totay that he did not know when the Committee would be called to meet. “Lhe impression here is that Seawell stands no chance of connsmation. Receiver Duncan, of the Seaboard Air Line, was at the capitol yester- day for the second time this week, working for Seawell’s confirmation. Judge Pritchard was present by proxy. He wrote letters to Senator Depew and other Republicans, urg- ing Seawell’s immediate confirma- tion. In spite of all this pressure, Seawell’s nomination is likely to go by default. Judge Taft will! inherit this legacy when he enters the White House. Speculation here does not concede a r-appointment to Seawell by any mea Sora —————~++@>-e—____ GIVINS AWAY $100,000 PROVES HARD TASK. Trustees Find Many Who Want It, But Few That Are Worthy. West Chester, Pa., Feb. 10.— Giving away $100,000 has proved a difficult task for W. E. Pennypacker, formerly clerk to the county commis- sioners here, and Miss Mary Mostel- lar, trustees for that amount under the will of the late Joseph Anderson, who died without heirs, and directed that they give away his cash. Up to the present time they have disbursed two-thirds of the money, and it went to needy churches, schools, hospistals and individuals, but they have had their troubles with people who warnited a share sim- ply because they wanted it. “Of the applicants for a share of the money,” said Mr. Pennypacker, “we have applications from at least a dozen representatives of institutions, but upon investigation we found they were simply agents expecting “‘graft” of at least 25 per cent. of the amount the secured. ——_++2>-e To Install New Sewerage System.

That will be a gruesome cargo with which the British steamship will sail out of New York one day this week for the shores of China. She will carry, says the Wilmington Star, eight thousand bodies of Chinamen who have died in this country. For some days trains from all sections of ; the country east of the Misissippi have been bringing these corpses to New York to await the sailing of the charrel ship. It has been several years since there has been such a shipment from the United States; hence the number of bodies to be transported is unusually large and some of them have been in their graves so iong that nothing but the bare skeletons remain to be buried in their native soil. Such shipment of Chinese bodies is made every few years under the direction of a society which meets the expense by small monthly payments from the family Or friends of those who die in this coun- try, from the time of death until a shipment is made. ———_+~+@>-———__—_—. Three Serious Accidents. Last week was an unlucky week in Wilkes as regards accidents. Up near the Ashe line, in Jobs Cabin, Henry Nicholson was out working on the side of the mountain, when a Jarge rock rolled against him knocking him down and breaking his arm in two places. Up in Union township, while work- ' ing at one of the Giant Lumber Co’s sawmills a cant hook struck George Palmer on the cheek, breaking the bone and making an ugly wound. Near Purlear, last week, in cut- ting down a tree for Eller’s sawmill, J. W.

Washington, Feb. 10.—Yhe sub- [ f KILLED BY HIS OWN GUN. Former Representative Pierce, of Craven County, Found Dead in Ais Field—Inveéstigation Leads to the Belief ‘nat Death was Wue to Ac- cidental Discharge of the Weapon. Kinston, Feb. 10.—A_ telephone meésSage was received in this city late Yesterday evening from Fort Barn- well, stating that Mr W. B. Pierce, ex-répresentative from Craven coun- ty, who lives near the Lenoir county line, was found dead in his field yes- teraday morning. Later information brought to this city is to the effect that*circumstances point to Mr. Pierce’s being killed by his own gun and strengly supporting the theory that it was accidental. The body was found on one side of a fence and the gun on the other side, the load having been discharg- ed. It is thought that he had put his gun through the fence and when he started to crawl through the gun was discharged accidentally. The load of shot struck Mir. Pierce on the right side of the head just above the ear and carried away the top of the head. A portion of the brain was found 20 feet away and with it wad- ding corresponding to that used in Mr. Pierce’s gun. No tracks were discovered in the vicinity of the shooting after a diligent search and though it is known Mr. Pierce’s life had been threatened, the people in the section are reasonably sure in viw of the surrounding circum- stances that it was nota case of murder. The body was found about a half mile from the home. Mr. Fierce was a well-to-do farmer of his section and highly esteemed. He represent- ed Craven county in the generai as- sembly of 1899 and was prominent in county affairs. ——_+~+@>-e——___—_ TRIES LAUDANUM ROUTE Bunn Pope, Well-Known White Man of Mebane Makes an Effort to Take His Own Life, But is Saved by Physician’s Prompt Work. Mebane, eb. 10.—This afternoon about 2 o’clock Bunn Pope, a well- known white man of this place, at- tSmpted to commit suicide by drink- ing laudanum. Pope had been drunk for some time and was yesterday discharged from the Southern Rail- way depot, where he had been em- pioyed for some time past. Today about dinner it is said that Pope told ‘a young man of this place that he was tired of living and That he was going to kill himself and a short time later was found in the rear of a store here. Dr. Wells was immediately summon- ed and worked with him for several hours. He is now practically out of danger. —_———_*+ > ____ Why the Preacher Was on the Gang. The overseer of the Gaston county chain gang, working on the road near Cherryville, tells us that he has every trade and professsion represented in his crew except lawyers, and he can’t see how they always manage to es- cape their just deserts. He has two preachers; one white and the ofher colored, both good at praying and preaching. He said the white preacher was the best worker he had ever had; always ready to go to work, and while at it steady, indus- trious and quiet.

C., Feb. 10—The statement is made here tonight on very high authority that Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tennesssee, will be secretary of war in the Taft adminis- tration. The news comes as a sur- prise because it has been generally believed that Luke Wright, the pres- ent scretary of war, would be the southern man in the Taft cabinet. Mr. Dickinson is a Taft Republi- can. He used to be a Democrat. He is best known in his native state as the general counsel of the IITinois Central railroad, which is controlled by E. H. Harriman. Two years ago he was elected president of the Amjérican Bar Association, succeed- ing Judge Alton B.

Salisbury, Feb. 10.—The case Ewi ing, who attempted to criminally assault Mrs. James R. Moss, at Moss Siding, in Stanly county, on Decem- ber 15th; whffé ‘fér husband was away from home, was taken up in Rowan superior court where the case was moved, this morning, and the result was, after examining several witnesses and Dr. I. H. Foust, coun- ty physician for Rowan, who had vis- ited the negro in the Salisbury jail that Judge Jones had the jury to de- cide as to Young’s sanity and it was of the opinion that the negro was insane and the court ordered him confined in the criminal department for the insane at the penitentiary, and should he ever recover, which is doubtful, he will be put on tria. This case caused much excitement in Stanly county at the time and there were fears that he would be lynched and he was removed to Salisbury. Mr. G. M. Lefler, who was the first person to reach Mrs. Moss, attracted by her screams, had a finger bitten off in his fight with the negro and he and Mr. Moss, who also respond- ed to his wife’s cries, had to almost kill Young before he was overpower- ed. Lawyer R. L. Brown, of Albe- marle, had been retained to assist the solicitor in the prosecution and was present today to appear in the case. ——~>~<@r-e—_—_———_. EXPRESS PACKAGE LOOTED.

Southern Pines, Feb. 10.—Last night an express package containing diamonds and jewelry valued at $2,000 which came from the Sea- board “ir Tine frain No. 43, was looted in the express office at Pine- hurst, evidently by a professignal burglar. The robber opened the package in the express office, takin# out such articles as he wanted ana leaving a few of slight value. N¢ clues are found, atfhough suspicion attaches to a stranger seen around town yesterday. The jewelry was consigned to Ran- kin & Co., jewelers, Pinehurst. A A few other afticles of slight value were taken but nothing that would make a load for the thief. The opinion is that the thief knew the goods were coming and that the fel- low was thoroughly familiar with his job. —_—— +e ——_—_ George Murphy Case Up. In the superior court in Salisbury yesterday afternoon the case of Geo.

The defendant is represented by Hon. Theo. F. Kiuttz, M. F.. Hatcher and R. Lee Wright, while Soiicitor Hammer is conduct- ing the state’s side of the case. This case is of a little interest to some of the Statesville people, as Murphy was once a resident of this city, being employed in the barber shop of Mr. W. F. Howard, in the Hotel Iredell building for some time. <a> OFFICERS’ PLEAS SAVE NEGRO. isp owas Cool-Headed Florida Officers Rescue Negro After he is Covered With Oil and Tied to Stake, : Tampa, Feb. 10.—Charley Crum- ley, the negro arrested on suspicion of being the man who attempted to criminally assault Miss Irma New- ell yesterday, was taken from the jail at Lakefana this morning by a mob of 1,000 men, bound to a stake faggots heaped about his body and oil poured over the mass with the in- tention of burning him.

One ses- passed in one end opposii gerous than DHMOS Oppes passed a bill that is no Is better tie ae- > y * +}, pass Tie cases so turned many justice.—Raleigh Teddy insists on appointing a ne- gro collector of port at Charleston, against the protests of the white peo- ple. His argument doubtless is that the objection is because Crum is 2 negro. The people might well reply that the president insists on appoint- ing Crum merely because he is a negro. Suppose Crum were a white man and the people of Charleston generally for reasons sufficient to themselves, should protest against him, would the president re-appoint him after his term was out? Or suppose that inhabited mainly by colored people, who had buiit up the city and made it what it is and who owned most of the property, would the pr point a white man as collector of ports in spite of the protest of the colored inhabitants? Crum may be competent and may have made a good officer, but have the people of Charleston no rights in the matter? What would Cha ton be worth to the govs ent as 2 port of entry, if it were not for the white who inhabit ir. property, who carry on the business of the city and purchase ihe goods that enter the harbor? itis a piece of tyranny for Roosevelt to ap- point a collector over them w ho is objectionable. He has the power, but has not the morai right to treat their traditions with contempt. The senate should not uphold him in such a course. ——_~<~+<+@>-e—____ If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre vent constipation.

Washington, Feb. 9.—Much dis- cussion has been aroused over a ques- tion raisead ioday as to whether Sen ator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsy!- vania, who has been selected to be secretary of state in the Taft cabinet is eligible under the constitution of the United States to accept the office Attention has been called to sec- tion VI, article I, of the constitution, “No senator of representative shall during time for which he was elected be appointed to any civil office un- der the authority of the United States, which shall have been creat-: ed or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.” an During Mr. Knox’s present term as senator, the salaries of all caDinet officers were increased from $8,000 to $12,000 a year, as the term of Sen- ator Knox does not epire until March 2, 1911, two years after the time when his name would be sent by Mr. Taft to the senate for confir- mation, the question is asked if Mr. Knox will be able to constitutionally accept the state portfolio. Mr. Knox declined to discuss the point when the matter was brought to his attention tonight. ~~ Stops earatie iz two minutes; toothache or pain of burn or scald in five minutes; hoarseness, one hour; muscleache, two hours; sore throat, twelve hours—Dr. Tlotmas.

Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 9.—Indict- ments against twenty-six representa- tives of corporations, charging them with stealing valuable timber from segregated Indian lands in Oklahoma, were returned by the federal grand jury today. An additional indict- ment was returned against one per- son for impersonating a United States officer in furtherance of a scheme of alleged timber thieves. The alleged thefts occured chiefly in the Choctaw, Chickasaw and Semi- nole nations. ~~ 5 ae | Judge Campbell isued strict or- ders that no names of the indicted persons be given out until! after they have been arrested.” For years the government has been harrassed by alleged timber thieves, said to represent corporations capital- ized in the east.

Many people have caught tuberculosis by kissing consumptive dogs and cats, canary birds, parrots and other household pets.

The whole land should ring with the ery, ‘Quit your kissing.’ ‘Any mother must be demented who permits a stranger to kiss her child,” concluded Dr. Schudder. “For, mark you, a man may have consumption in an early stage and not know it.

Consumption. pneumonia, diptheria and scarlet fevcer, fovr of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thee ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is: used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases.

This part of the road will connect with the part being graded by the county and which has been contracted with Mr. James Brown.

I believe in work, and I do not be- lieve in sacrificing work to play; but I most emphatically believe also in play. A bay or girl who has a healthy body will be all the better fit for serious work, and if the health comes through vigorous sports pur- sued in an honorable, straightfor- ward manner not only the mind but the character, is benefited. To the boys I wish to say a special word. I emphatically believe in manliness, in courage, in physical address, but I believe quite as much in gocd comradeship and a spirit of fair play. I hope that whenever you ente«* a contest you will do all that is in you to win, and yet you will re- member that it is far better to fail than to win by unfairness, by any underhand trickery. Keep in mind that it is only by persistent effort in the face of discouragement that any of us ever does anything that is real- ly worth while doing. The fellow who gives up when he is once beaten is made af mighty poor stuff, and if he does give up as soon as he is beaten in a sport he does not stand much chance of suc- cess in tze serious conflivcts of after life. The true spirit, the spirit which wins victories in after life, is the spirit which fights ard to suc- ceed, but which takes defeat in good nature and with a resolute determi- nation to try again. 5 It is a good begfnning for this se- rious work of after life if on the play-grotnds you learn how to Cco- operate with your fellows and to do Four best to win while at the same time erating your own interests with fairness and courtesy.—Theodore Roosevelt.

The first sign of any reason to the mind of Mr. Will S. Biggers was shown yesterday when he was taken to the jail. Biggers has shown great-suspicion heretofore when any- one entered his cell in the police sta- tion tombs. With the clicking of a the lock or the first putting of a foot inside the cell, he would rouse up, glare, often leap to his feet, and sometimes reach into his pocket as feeling for a weapon. Officer Elliott has been able to do a good deal with him. The officer spent balf an hour with him in his cell yesterday trying to draw him out into conversation and getting into his good graces. Finally he said: “Let's walk out and get a ffttle fresh air.” The cell door had been left open and Biggers, accompanied by the offi- cer, walked out. They were joined by Officers Black and Squires and taken in a conveyance to the jail. Biggers did not fight or resist and as he was mounting the steps of the jail he seemed to come to the first realization of his situation, and broke into a flood of tears, wailing out: “I'll ever see my wite and children agaia.’ This morning he became calmer and more tractable and recognized his brother for the first time since the tragedy. aoe There is no doubt that Biggers has suffered temporary. aberation of mind. There could be no simmula~ tion in the fierce glare of the eye and the madman’s grip of that single hand; the shaking, as a cat does a rat, of one of his friends who had ventured into his cell the first day of the killing. So said a physician who has examined Biggers. Not until yesterday, it fs said, did he ever Inake any inquiry about his wife and children. It is learned that Mrs. Biggers hac Been tp with Biggers for three nights previous to the tragedy, and her first outery on hearing of the news of what her husband had done was to say, ‘‘Do not let him have any weapons.

In this day when there is a dispo- sition to cut Off the meat and bread of the county offices we wish to say that these officers throughout the state will surely appreciate the Charlotte Observer’s presentation of the justice due them in the case. The Observer of yesterday says: “The Statesville Landmark ob- jects to The Observer’s position in favor of fees instead of salaries for county officers and certain other officials in North Carolina. cognizes the difficulty of regulating the salaries of solicitors upon a basis of equity, owing to the varia- tion of the amount of work in dif- ferent districts, and ‘the Observer recognizes the fees, yet their compensation, upon the basis, large or small, has this merit, that it is dependent upon the amount of work done. ‘The solu- tion of the solicitor business, The Landmark is disposed to believe, is in the adoption or the constituttOnal amendment, as proposed by Sena- tor Peele, of Scotland county, to abolish solicitors~entirely and have the county attorney in each county prosecute the criminal docket;’’? and we do not know but what we are willing to go with our contemporary and Senator Peele on this proposi- tion. Yet this remedy is remote. As to the county officers, The Landmark says that “nobody has proposed to make a uniform salary law for all’ these “officers in the state, but the purpose is to make a special act to fit the case of each county.’? This it seems to us, would beget infinite complexities, “hut how well this has worked where it has been tried,’’? says our contemporary, “‘and the great saving of funds, after paying the officers liberal salaries, is shown is the reports for Guilfor and Forsyth counties, among others, which, we believe> Rave been pub- lished in The Observer.’ With re- gard to Forsyth, a large and popu- lous county: The salray of clerk is, we believe, $3,090. After paying out of this his clerk hire and other Office expenses, campaign contribu- tions and meeting other demands made on county officers, we dare say he has too much left, and dare say again that he works ten td fifte.n hours a day. If the fees in any county are thought to be excessive they may be reduced, as has been done in Meck- lenburg. There is no complaint here that we are aware of. To quote The Landmark further: “Even if the fee system is the ‘merit system,’ as is contended by some of its advocates, every official paid by fees should be required to keep a strict and accurate account, to be published under Oath, of all fees received, so that the people may know, as they have a right to know, what the office pays; and this sys- tem would also prevent officers giv- ing fees, or part fees, to their friends and thus discriminating to establish obligations for favors conferred.” This suggestion is entirely right. Its adoption would entail an enor- mous amount of work on officials in s0me counties, requiring them to keep an itemized account of receipts, ¥et it is the only way in which the public can know what their compen- sation is. Without pursuing the details of the subject, we favor the fee system as against the salary upon the just ground that a man should be paid for what he does rather than for what he is supposed to do. This rule cannot be applied to ail employ- ments but it is a good one where it can be applied. As an example in the case of a county officer, a register of deeds on a salary could allow deeds filed with him for registration to.piie up indefinitely, giving a good excuse for every case of negiizence and delay, whereas when a fee is Waiting at the end of registration there is little accumulation of un- registered deeds in that office. But enough. The problem is a vexatious one. ————_<-@>-e—______ This is a common form of muscular rheumatism. No internal treatment is neded.

Woodpeckers de- stroy eggs and larvae which would develop millions of destructive crea- tures in forests and orchards; and cne of the most inevitable foes of the canker worm is the beautiful oriole, were it bit ailowed to live hang its its swinging cradle to the elm. For every wing of black and orange on a young girl’s hat an ap- ple tree is stripped of leaves and young fruit, or an elm is deunded of its graceful foilage by the canker.— Farm Journal. HH Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the Most Popular Because it is the Best. “I have soid Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for the past eight years and find it to be one of theb est selling medicines on the market.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. - Health is Worth Saving, and Som Statesville People Know How to Save It. a Many Statesvlle people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen’s recommen- dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville, N. C., says: “‘I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall’s Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s WNidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.’’ For sale by all dealers.

The church frowned on this innocent game and substituted the names of saints for sweethearts—whereby, it may be supposed, the game would somewhat languish. Yet, in spite of the church, the old pagan manner of playing the game has gone on un- til this day; and country girls will still pin five bay leaves to their pil- lows on St. Valentine’s eve, hoping to dream of their “young man,’? and by divers other sorceries strive to wrest from the future the secret na- turally nearest to the human heart. For the sternest of saints cannot prevent the world from keeping im- mortally young, and the birds will go on mating on the fourteenth of Feb- ruary in spite of all ttle decrees of the church.”’ ——__++2>-e——_—_—_— Women and Pin-Money. The women wo have to earn their own pin-money or go without it are legion, more’s the pity. There is not a woman alive that does not long down dep in her heart of hearts, for a little money of her own to spend just as she wants to; and we meet women working in all the crafts earning the precious pin-money as their talents and various tastes per- mit. Some sing in church, some write for the papers and magazines, some paint, and others bake or con- tribute to the many “exchanges for women’s work, while still others go into business. There are a number that excel as home milliners, a handsome thing of trimming hats for their friends.

Dr. Carrel preserves animal tissues in cold storage for many weeks. ‘To the unscientific citizen it is something of a surprise to learn that large parts of the body are alive and usefui after the phenomenon popu- larly known as death has taken place. Few of us suspect for exam- ple,t hat our kidneys and hearts, after we have died ourselves, can in most cases be resuscitated, and that if by some surgical miracle they could be transplanted into another body, they would quickly r/sume their functions. This, however, is 2 well demonstrated medical fact. | The human heart has been removed ‘from the body more than thirty hours after death and made to beat again. Dr. Carrel himself has taken the heart from one dog and insert- ed tn the.neck of another, connect- ing ihe aorta with cartoid artery of the new heart, and the vena cava with his jugular vein.

Bachelors are cultivated in all cities. They live in bachelor apart- ments and bungalows. They can be seen during the day in counting houses and on the golf links and in the evening at dinner parties and ' | Bachelors at one time were easily caught with almost any kind of bait, and swallowed bait, hook, sinker and Now, however, they are becoming much more wary and hide in the depth of their bachelor apartments or in the deep poolrooms from which they cannot be lured. They are gregariuss in their habits running in schools, but they stand by each other, and it is very unusual to find a solitary one. Occasionally, however, more foolish and over confident specimen will poke his nose into a summer resort, when he is promptly landed. Bachelors are in reality: the bul- wark of the nation. By not getting married they do not raise families. families, as we know, are constsantlIy eonsuming our natural resources. Bachelors are therefore really pro- viding more natural resources for the few. Their conduct, it wil be seen, is thus quite unselfish.—Life. —~++@>-e—___—__ How to Uplift and Make Cows Lady- Like. _ Middletown, N. Y., Feb., 6—The Rev. L. William House, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Roscoe. Sul- livan County, widely known as the double of President- Roosevelt, edits a weekly paper called the Roscoe- Rockland Review In the current number he gives dairymen regarding the production of sanitary milk. “About a year ago,” says the min- ister, “we offered Dr. Darlington some excellent advice on the subject of handling milk in the city. He didn’t act on it, which was unwise as it was unkind. We now address ourselves to the dairymen.”’ He then says among other things: “Break the cow of the habit of wiping her nose with her tongue. The cure for the habit is simple. Place a bit of bitter aloes in each nostril three times a day until the cow ceases her unlovely task. ‘‘Use a sterilized medicine drop- per, which must be employed only once. These are cheap, costing only $3 a gross. <A dairy of thirty cows would only require four gross a week. “When bossy has learned to appre- ciate the tender, uplifting work, place a handkerchief within easy reach of the cow. Saturate it with a little salt water until bossy be- comes accustomed to feel the hu- manizing effects of linen. Then substitute cologne. These handker- chiefs should be good linen, a yard square and changed three times a bolt or bale is cheaper than by the bolt or bale is cheaped than by the yard. That part of the new method will be required by the cow any- where from three months to three years, according to the intelligence of the cow and the patience of the dairyman.’? —_++2>-o—___—_ FIRE IN A TUNNEL.

Copy of Inscription Taken From the Tomb of Elisha Mitchell for Whom | Mt. Mitchell is Named—Highest Peak East of Rocky Mountains. The following clipping taken from | the Cleveland (County) Star, may! be of interest to Statesvile people.as Dr. Mitchell, whom the article con- | cerns has relatives in this city: A few days ago Mr. W. Y. Weath- ers was looking over some of his old papers and found a copy of the in- scription on the fomb that crowns Mount Mitchell in Mitchell county. It recalled to him a visit to that his- toric place with a party of friends about fifteen years ago. While there he made .a copy of the epitaph writ- ten on the monument erected o the memory of the man who gave his life in the exploration of the highest mountain in the eastern part of the United Staes. Mr. Weathers says the monument stands about eleven feet high and sets on the topmost pinnacle of this mountain. He says the monument is metallic and being situated as it is on the most promi- nent part of the mountain is braced by three wire guy cables fastened to the barren rocks by means of steel This peak is the highest one east of the Rocky Mountains and North Carolina is proud that it is within her bounds. A prominent North Carolinian gave his life in a- Scientific exploration of the moun- tain and it was named in honor of his memory. A copy of the inscrip- tion as recorded by Mr. Weathers when he visited the historic place is as follows: IN MEMORY OF ELISHA MITCHELL. Here lies in hope of a blessed Resurrection the body of the Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D. D., who after be- ing for 39 years a professor in the University of North Carolina lost his life in the scientific exploration of this mountain in the 64th year of his age, June 27th, 1897. ———~~@>-e—___ The Hog-Pen Nuisance The raising of hogs within the cor- porate limits of a town should be prohibited by the board of ‘aldermen, and the law against it should be en- forced without fe\r or favor. Aside | from its peril to health, one filthy hog-pen makes the air of a whole neighborhood offensive. On this ground alone there is abundant rea- son for the suppressison of the hog- raising.industry in any community where the population is congested. But we all know how dangerous to public health are these germ-breed- ing places, and health officers are duty who allow them to exist with- cut an-earnest protest. Of course ‘it required rerve to take a square stand against the hog pen. Many good people think their rights are involved if such a thing as an ordi- nance against the nuisance is dis- | cussed. It is wonderful how many crimes are committed in the name of human rights. or years it was held by thousands of people that prohibition is an invasion of man’s rights. Perhaps it is, but however that may be prohibition has come just the same and we are all the better and happier for it. This doc- trine of individual rights has been carried entirely too far. No man has a right to afflict a whole neigh- borhood. Granting that the indi- vidual would suffer, it is better that he suffer than that all his neighbors suffer that he may escape. Some families may have a surplus of scraps that they can not dispose of. Bet- ter bury the scraps than to establish a public pest to dispose of them. We hope the day will come when no hog will be allowed to live in any North Carolina town. He is a coun- try animal, and not suited to the back yard of a house with a hundred feet to root in. If an ordinance were passed at once people who have bought pigs could dispose of them before they eat their heads off; and also before they begin to spread malaria among the families who have no hogs.—Charity and Children —_— 1 Disposed of: Mortgaged Property.

Feb. 12.—Hardly had the jury been completed today in the case against Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharpe, than the state served notice that it might seek to again de. plete the box. This incident follow- ed a wearisome day. Nearly 200 talesmen had been ‘called without securing the twelfth juror, when Suddenly and unex pectedly both Sides accépted William Hows, a German farmer, 55 years of age. With alacrity Judge Hart ordered the sheriff to bring the complete jury into court to be sworn. Then it was that Attorney General Mc1 Carn interposed. He said he had in- formation tending to show that two of the men now in the box were in- competent. This information, he ex- plained, came too late for use be- fore. He asked until Saturday morning to produce the proof, if such proof existed. Judge Hart consented to the de- lay and the Case wil be resumed at 9 a. m., tomorrow. Judge Hart announced this morn- ing that he proposed to get a jury if it takes another month. W. A. Bell, a farmer 50 years old, who had not read a newspaper for 12 years, qualified but was challeng- ed by the defense. A. G. Burnett a . horse trader to whom newspaper reading is an undiscovered art, and who is 2 ‘close friend of John D. Sharpe, next qualified. The state excused him> - clan J. H. Lloyd, who qualified, never believed that he saw in a newspa- per because once he read in one that a certain grocery sold thirty pounds of sugar for a dollar When he went to get the sugar the grocer told him it was a mistake. Since, he said, he did not believe anything in the “‘durned papers.” The defense ex- cused him. ~ Gray haired, gray whiskered, with face deeply lined but erect and ac- tive still, J. T. Horn, 55 years, one of Forest’s famous hard riding caval- rymen, qualified’ as ‘@ talesman. He had not read the papers but had formed an opinion. . Col. Duncan B. Cooper, one of the defendants, was one of Forest’s offi- cers too but in spite of this the state accepted Horn as a juror. The fact evidently aroused the suspicions of the defense for a lengthy conference followed. Then to the surprise of every one, they challenged him per- nn some advice to | not faithfvl in the discharge of their | emptorily. It was 3:30 p. m., when the twelfth juror, however, was accepted and then came the announcement of the Attorney General, which caused an early adjournment. —_————~ + -o— ———— EXPLOSION IN A TUNNEL. at Two Men Killed and Seventeen In- jured—Dynamite Exploded Pre- maturely.

What Will be the Program for the North American Conservation Conference. Washington, Feb. 13.—Keen in- terest is manifest as to what will be the program of subjects of the North American Conservation Conference between representatives of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, in this city, February 18. In his letter to President Diaz, of Mexico, and Lord Grey, of Canada, President Roose- velt outlined as the purpose of the conference the consideration of “mutual interests involved in the conversation of natural resources” and the preparation of ‘‘a general plan adapted to promote the welfare of the nations concerned.” There is a pretty well defined feeling, how- ever, that definite topics will have to be discussed. That the Canadians take this view is indicated by the fact that they have sent to the Na- tional Conservation Commission compilations of speci7: regulations governing the disposal of their na- tural resources. | Last summer’s forest fires on both sides of the line between the United States are so recent in the minds of both countries that un- doubtedly the possibility of some cooperative scheme of fire protection is likely to be touched on. There are other important international questions concerning natural _re- sources which can hardly fail of consideration. The Canadian and Mexican dele- gates to the conference are prepared to contribute suggestions as well as to receive them. Their representa- tives at the international meeting will be prominent specialists on the various phases of the subject to be discussed. Conservation has. not been limited to the United States. Early last year, for instance, every acre of the public timberlands in British Columbia, was placed in for- est reserves. This action was taken to check waste by bringing the care and cutting of timber resources more effectually under . government control. The action affected 150,- 000,000 acres—as much land as was put into all National Forests of this country up to 1907. In the Yukon all water power rights are granted for only twenty years and at the ex- piration of tha time their control re- verts to the public. The water pow- er question is now oe of the most important and far reaching before the United States today. President Diaz of Mexico has a comprehensive knowledge of forestry and under- stands fully the benefits to be gain- ed by its application. He is also deeply interested in the improve- ment of agricultural methods and the farmers of the country are rapidly adopting scientific methods. Mexico has few large waterways but the nation has provided for the expenditure of several million dol- lars for the improvement of the in- ternal navigation. = Recent discussion in the Canadian parliament of President Roosevelt’s proposal for coorperation for the conservation of the natural re- sources of the whole continent indi- cates that the support of the con- servation movement in the Dominion will be as thoroughly nonpartisan as it is in the United States. R. L. Borden, leader of the Opposition, was as enthusiastic in his support as Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the premier, who expressed his deepest approval of tie movement. ———_+<+@>--———_.

Fayetteville, Feb. 12.—The family of Thomas Riddle, who is now in the penitentiary for killing his father, James Riddle, last August in a quar- rel over cigarette smoking and whose mother recently married a 19- yéaT-old youth after ‘he had attempt- ed suicide because of her refusal to marry him, furnished another sensa- tion yesterday when Charlse Riddle, a 16-year-old son of the family, came to Fayetteville from a cotton ‘mill village near Hope Mills, applied for a license to marry Georgia Cain, a 15-year-old girl employed in a mill at Cotton, and on failing to obtain it hurried back to he village, drove away. Where they went is not known. ‘the girl’s mother is almost prostrated with grief. _——~++@-o—_—__ A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms 8 culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thee ulture bed formed by the cola favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a@ good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess.

B. Thompson is Consunied by Fire at Elmwood. The store of Mr. H. B. Thompson, of Elmwood, was totally destroyed by fire Saturday night about 10 o'clock. The store building belong- ed to Mr. W. W. Hair, the stock of goods which consisted of general merchandise . belonging to- > Mr: Thompson. The store house is/| valued at about $800 and Mr. Hair carried $500 insurance on it. The stock of goods were valued at about $3,500, on which Mr. Thompson car- ried about $1,800 insurance. The loss on both the house and it’s con- tents was totoal. Mr. Thompson had just closed up foy the night, and had not reached his home, when the fire was discov- ered by mr. Chap Turner, who lives just across the road. When first seen it was just burning around the stove fae, and before any assistance could be rendered the entire roof was ablaze and ready to faflin. Mr. Thompson, who is a cripple, hurried to his store as fast as he could, but upon arriving ther.e the roof was falling in and no could enter the building. It was a frame structure, and it did not take it long to be a solid blaze, all the citizens, who had gathered could do was to carry water and protect nearby buiidings. A grainery and barn only a few feet from the store building were in im- mediate danger and all the efforts of the citizenss were centered on these, the grainery having already began burning, but it was saved by hard work. About ten years ago Mr. Hair owned a building which stood on this same spot, and it was destroyed by fire. The building was replaced by the one that was burned Satur- day night, and it caught ftre once before but was extinguished before it did any~ harm. The general theory is that the fire Saturday night originated around the stove flue, } which is supposed to have been de- | fective. Mr. Hair will rebuild on the same spot at once, and it is likely that Mr. Thompson will engage in business again in that town. ——_<2>>-——_—___—_ Has Purchased Outiit. Mr. W. E.

ICE CHOKES NIAGARA FALiS. | OFFICED SEVERELY CLUBBED. Attorney General Makes no Refer- ence to the Charges Against Two of the Jurors and the Twelve are Sworn In. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 3.——On next Tuesday at 9 o’clock a. m., will begin the trial of Col Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp, charged with slaying former Senator Edward Carmack. After 20 days of wearisome jruy drawing the decision was suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly reached this morning. When court adjourned yesterday the prosecution asked that the jury be not swor nuntil the state had a chance to investigate charges against | two jurors. When court convened this morning Attorney General Mce- Carn made no reference to these charges but simply said: “We are ready for the jury to be sworn, your honor.” Repeeating the oath after the clerk, the jurors then swore: “To weil and truly try the issue joined between the State of Ten- nessee and the defendants.’ Then each juror kissed the Bible in turn. It was a solemn ceremony solemnly performed. The state next asked several days in which to gather its witnesses. The court suggested that the taking of testimony begin at 9 a. m. Tues- day and counsel agreed. Then court adjourned unti Tuesday. In drawing for the jury the law made those incompetent who had talked with a witness to the murder or taiked with some one who had talked with the witness. On the application for bail the local papers printed stenographic reports of the testimony of witnesses. The su- preme court has held that a newspa- per printing verbatim testimony be- comes a witness who has talked toa witness. Therefore every one in the county who read the testimony came incompetent to sit in the case as a juror. This eliminated at once the most intelligent citizens of the county. As a_ result it was necessary to draw five venires of 500 names each and one of 519, a total of 3,919 be- fore the jury was secured. Four of the jurors accepted can neither read. nor write and two others understand English oniy indir{rently.

Out in China all things arenot topsy turvy. Physicians are paid for keeping people-well and when their patients: fall ill their weekly -salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge amedical man not by thenumberof yearg he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive. An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has age. to its credit isn’t so important as the: age of its adver- tising patronage. Whenever a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same eg-. tablishment year after year, it’s a pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspapcr, because no ‘publication can continue to be a losing investment to its cus- tomers over a stretch of time without the fact being discovered. And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor. roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for a stretch of decades it has proven its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows. The combination of stability and progress ig the strongest virtue that a newspaper.can pos- sess. Only the fit survive—reputation isa dificult thing toget and a harder thing to hold-—it takes merit to earn it and character to maintain it. There is a vast difference between fame and notortety, and just as much difference between a Jamous newspaper and a notorious one. Just as a manufacturer is always eager to install his choicest stocks in a store which has earned the respect of the community, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert hignamein a newspaper which has earned the respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels that he will receive a square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is a credit to its age! The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because it was best fitted to—it had to earn the confidence of its readers—and keep it. It had to be a better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homesof better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the element of guality and staying power. And it is the respectable, home-loving element of every community—not the touts andthe gamblers— toward which the merchant must look for his business vertebrae—he cannot find buyers un- less he uses the newspaper. that enters their homes. And when he does enter their homes he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de- livered at the front door.

This Is the Rameses Who Looms Over the Egypt of Today. Like a cloud, a great golden cloud, 4 glory impending that will not, cannot be dissolved into the ether, he (Ram- eses) loomed over the Egypt that is dead; he looms over the Egypt of to- day. Everywhere you meet his traces; everywhere you hear his name. You say to a tall young Egyptian, “How big you are growing, Hassan!’ . He answers, “Come back next year, my gentleman, and I shall be like Ram- eses the Great.” Or you ask of the boatman who rows you, “How can you pull all day against the current of the Nile?” And he smiles, and, lifting his brown arm, he says to you, “Look; I am as strong ag Rameses the Great.” This familiar fame comes down through some 3,220 years. Carved apon limestone and granite, now it seems engraven also on every Egyp- tian heart that beats not only with the movement of shadoof or is not buried {n the black soil fertilized by Hapt. Thus can inordinate vanity prolong the true triumph of genius and im- press its own view of itself upon the minds of millions. This Rameses is believed to be the pharaoh who op- pressed the children of Israel.—Robert Wichens in Century. THE LANGUAGE PUZZLE. China’s Forty Thousand Signs and Symbols to Perplex the Linguist. The language known as Wen-li is the medium by which the classical books of China have been handed down. It is par excellence the written language of China, but it is not generally under- stood by the great mass of the people. The spoken language—namely, Manda- rin—may also be written, and there is a good deal of colloquial literature in Mandarin. Versions of the Bible in the local patois have also been produced Alarm L.

In the Chinese written language there are over 40,000 distinct charac- ters or symbols, and this vast number fs belng constantly increased by the addition of new characters to repre- sent new scientific words and modern ideas. Although the Chinese are considered a Mterary people and have naturally a desire for education, yet owing to the extreme difficulty of mastering the Chinese characters it is estimated that only one in ten of the population can tead or write——Contemporary Review. Storm Talk. “Shipwreck affects people in odd ways,” said the captain, beaming brightly on the two rows of ladies at his table in the saloon. pa The wind roared, a great wave shook the boat, and a matron, with a low ery, received a plate of hot soup in her lap. “An Indian colonel,” the captain re- sumed, “rushed to the bathroom when his boat sprung aleak and drowned himself in the tub out of sheer terror. “There was an Anglo-Indian actor who broke a pretty girl’s leg by hurl- ing his heavy cabin trunk down inte the lifeboat on her. Of course we slung the trunk overboard at onee, bot there was the broken leg, not se qa to get rid of. “Some men in a wreck proceed :to drunk. They think if they secretly drink a lot they’ll appear very game. The result is that when the rescuing party arrives these men are lying par- alyzed about the deck.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Still Susceptible. He was a nervous, fidgety young man, and he looked with considerable ap- prehension at the woman next him, who held a baby, its face covered witk a thick veil. The baby gave now and then a sharp cry, which the woman evidently tried to suppress. At last, after many anxious glances. the young man spoke. “Has—has that baby any—anything contagious?” he asked. The woman looked at him with a mixture of scorn and pity. “*Twouldn’t be for most folks,” she said in a clear, carrying tone, “but maybe ’twould for you.

Health is Worth Saving, and Som Statesville People Know How to Save It. Many Statesville people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to sufier nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a Statesvlile citizen’s recommen- dation. Mrs, S. Revis, living at 212 Sev- enth St,, Statesville. N. C., says: “T can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a remedy that acts up to its representations. I sent to Hall's Drug store, and procured them while suffering from pains through the low- er part of my hack and frequent headaches which had caused me great distress. Their use improved my condition in every way. Doan’s Kidney Pills proved so satisfactory in my case that I do not hesitate to recommend them to other sufferers.”’ For sale by all dealers.

Out in China all things are ot topsy turvy. Physicians are paid for keeping people well and when their patients fall ill their weekly salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge amedical man not by thenumberof years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive. An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has age to its credit isn’t soimportant as the age of its adver- tising patronage. Whenever._a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same es- tablishment year after year, it’s a pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspap.r, because no publication can continue to be a losing investment to its cus- tomers over a stretch of time without the fact being discovered. And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for a stretch of decades it has proven its superiority plainly as a mountain peak which rises bove its fellows. The combination of stability and progressis e strongest virtue that a newspaper can pos- sess. Only the fitsurvive—reputation isa dificult thing togetand a harder thing to ho/d—it takes nerit to earn it and character to maintain it. There is a vast difference between fame and notoriety, and just as much difference between a sanuous newspaper and a notorious one. Just as a manufacturer is always eager to install his choicest stocks in a store which has earned the respect of the ¢ommunity, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert hisnamein a newspaper which has earned the respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels that he will receive a square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is a credit to its age! The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because it was best fitted to—it had to earn the confidence of its readers—and keep it. It hed to be a better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homes of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the element of quality and staying power. And it is the respectable, home-loving element of every community—not the touts andthe gamblers— toward which the merchant must look for his business vertebrae—he cannot find buyers un- less he uses the newspaper that enters their homes. And when he does enter their homes he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de- livered at the front door. ~ 2 ™= sc e n i e e t ro n = + ge m aa . me g s « sp a t we n t at ao s yt ae = ce n c e ce mnatinet e n in e ci a n s ct at e r oa t a we e t e r e n o n a ta e , cs . we y gt a wo e os gt te r e t e re Fy n e er 7 ae s Fe ne ee ea ~ _ he e pa , al a e , Wa sh a i , ai t , Se r a 2 ie , Sg r at o n e yt 3 is a He a 3 oe ee eile la a ha ee oy we a WI Gh a ig aa d sg Re ew i Re et e r ss y “g t an y a " ar F s ri e A = i ed i e z . * OE AP E S se s i n a t i n ca r e l e s s te e ti t a n a t e to t Sh e r e nn e n e m m e n e me RS S a ea e Ne e n e ee e ee ee d a - a ce e ~< 7 ee en ee e as e n i e t e e n e n n m s e ~ or -a i e m e h e m e e n a n m i i n n s te e e n e n e m m e a b e d i a t a t l ; ‘ ee . ’ 7 ba . er . or es (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Dun-| #"Vve- can B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharpe for the) slaying of former Senator Ed- ward Carmack, the factions are figuratively resting on their arms. Most of the witnesses for the State, who are from a dis- tance, are in the city. Others are onthe way. Mrs. E. W. Car- mack, wife of the slain editor, ar- rived tonight and will sit be- hind the attorney for the State. Sam C. Carmack, the dead man’s brother and S. S. Carmack, a cousin, are now here. The State proposes to estab- Carmack by the eye witness:s Then it will begin to lay the foundation for its theory that the killing wasthe result of a conspiracy. Just at this point will come the big legal battle of the trial. The defense proposes to fight this contention from the start. The laws of Tennessze upon conspiracy are said to be very liberal once the ground work is laid, but this founlation must be very strorg. The State’s early witnesses will be Mrs. Eastman, with whom the Senator was talking when shot; former State Treas- urer Ed Craig, who carried Co’- onel Cooper’s threats to Senator Carmack; Carey Folk, brother ci the State Treasurer, who saw the defendants standing near the scene of the tragedy a few mo- ments before it happened. Just what line the defense will follow, except the broad one of self-de- ence, has not been announced nor will it be until the State’s case in chief is made. Attorneys for both sides were in conference until late tonight- Both sides also have in their employ secret agents in numbers and every stranger in the city is subject to close scrutiny and es- pionage. There is little or no display of feeling in public, how- ever. The court officials have pre- pared to take care of large crowds.

Pittsburg, Feb. 13. Declaring that her childhood lover called her in her dream and warned her not to break her promise by marrying another man whom her parents had chosen for her, Smila Hartfeld, a Russian girl, of Duquesne, last night announce ed to the wedding guests as- sembled at her father’s house that there would be no wedding. The father, beside himself with anger, is said to have forced the girl into a room with Milo Kulki, the jilted one telling them to come to some agreement, and de. clared that as the wedding cuests them disappointed. The girl escaped from the room and an hour latter was found dead in the cellar with her throat cut. All parties concern- ed are well-to-do Russians. The father of the girl explains that his daughter plighted her troth to another in Russia. and that she had wanted to wait for him to come to her. The father how- ever, saw what he considered an advantageous marriage for his daughter, and tried to induce her to accept. —\—~ +a.

The following special from Wash- ingto will interest the folks of these parts: E Washington, Feb. f5.—Represen- tatives Hackett and Webb of North Carolina, made two of the best speeches against the Gaines bill to- day. Webb’s argument was forceful and convincing, and of such a char- acter that John Sharp Williams quoted from it later in the day. Hackett made a fine impression. ——— OE OO” WILL ASPHYXIATE DOGS.

A few questions were asked her but she became hysterical and was excused. She was not in Nash- ville at the time the tragedy happen- ed. Sensation No. 3 followed Mrs. Car- mack’s leaving the stand.

The victims are brothers one thirty-one years old and the other eighteen, and they are sons of Mr. and Mrs. James Younger, who for nearly twelve years have kept their sons’ affliction a secret from the public. Twelve years ago the family was comfortably well-to-do, but when the elder son contracted the loathsome disease and five years ago the other son became afflicted, the expense of caring for them so told on the family resources that the last piece of propecty, the homestead, is to be sold for taxes. The authori- ties having discovered the cases will probably place the sons with the other lepers cared for by the State. ——— 2 <4 Mother do you hear that rat- tling in your babies throat?

Mexico City, Feb. 16.—Seareh- ers today are finding many more bodies in the ruins of the Flores theatre, a frame structure at Aca- pulco, which was burned Sunday night, with a probable loss of life of over three hundred per. sons. Several Americans are re- ported to have been in the audi. ence to witness a special per- formance in honor of Governor Flores. The fire was started by a mov: ing picture machine. The avd- lence became panic stricken. The government has ordered an in- vestigation to fix the responsi- bility. Only a few bodies are identified on account of the burn- ed condition. A large grave has been dug and the charred re- mains buried in one tile. ———~++e>--___ Washington’s Plague Spots lie in the low, marshy bottoms of the Potomac, the breeding ground of malarial germs.

The Doctor Whose Patients Hang On By Herbert Kaufman. Out in China all things are mot topsy turvy. Physicians are paid for keeping people well and when their patients fall ill their weekly salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge amedical man not by thenumberof years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive. An advertising medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has age to its credit isn’t so important as the age of its adver- tising patronage. Whenever a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same es- tablishment year after year, it’s a pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspapcr, because no publication can continue to be a losing investment to its cus- tomers over a stretch of time without the fact being discovered. And whena newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for a stretch of decades it has proven its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows. The combination of stability and progressis the strongest virtue that a newspaper can pos- sess. Only the fit survive—reputation isadiffcult thing toget and a harder thing to hold—it takes merit to earn it and character to maintain it. There is a vast difference between fame and notoriety, and just as much difference between a famous newspaper and a notorious one. Just as a manufacturer is always eager to install his choicest stocks in a store which has earned the respect of the ¢ommunity, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert hisnamein a newspaper which has earned the respect of its readers. receive a square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is a credit to its age! The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because it was best fitted to—it had to earn the confidence of its readers—and keep it. It had to be a better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homes of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the element of quality and staying power. And it is the respectable, home-loving element of every community—not the touts andthe gamblers— toward which the merchant must look for his business vertebrae—he cannot find buyers un- less he uses the newspaper that enters their homes. And when 4e does enter their homes he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de- livered at the front door.

In fact, he was a very light quadroon. “Here, you!” the head waiter said. “You are colored!” “Oh, no, I ain’t,” the man re- plied; “not in the sense you mean.” “But you are mighty dark.” “I know I am, but that is be- cause I am a Malay.” The head waiter was nonplused. } He looked again and then asked suspiciously: “What is @ Malay? ‘Where is he from ?” “Why,” said the man easily, “Als. lays are from Malaria.” h Clipping Their Wings. : e costume of the Pu Yuan Pen-jen in the Shan states is very strik- tng, os of a cloth hood, an open $acket a pair of short white trou- gers reaching barely to the knee.

One of the greatest of all Ameri- can industries is the business of edu- cating the boys and giris. The con- duct of this business costs as much as $442,000,000 a year. It takes $240,000,000 to pay the teachers and $80,090,000 each year to provide buildings. Over one-fifth of the entire popu- lation of the United States is en- relied as pupils in the schools. The number of teachers employed in the common schools in the school year ended June 907, was 475,000. Of these 370,000 were women.

Physicians are paid for keeping people well and when their patients fall ill their weekly salary check isstopped. The Chinese judge amedical man not by thenumberof years he lives, but by the length of time his clients survive. An advertising ‘medium must be judged in the same way. The fact that it has age to its credit isn’t so important as the age of its adver- tising patronage. Whenever a newspaper con- tinues to display the store talk of the same es- tablishment year after year, it’s a pretty sure sign that the merchant has made money out of that newspapcr, because no publication can continue to be a losing investment to its cus- tomers over a stretch of time without the fact being discovered. And when a newspaper is able to boast of an honor roll of stores that have continued to appear in its pages for a stretch of decades it has proven its superiority as plainly as a mountain peak which rises above its fellows. © : The combination of stability and progressis the strongest virtue that a newspaper can pos- sess. Only the fitsurvive—reputation isa difficult thing toget and a harder thing to ho/d—it takes merit to earn it and character to maintain it. There is a vast difference between fame and notoriety, and just as much difference between a Jamous newspaper and a notorious one. Just as a manufacturer is always eager to install his choicest stocks in a store which has - earned the respect of the éommunity, just so a retailer should be anxious to insert hisnamein a newspaper which has earned the respect of its readers. The manufacturer feels that he will receive a square deal from a store which has age to its credit. He can expectas much from a newspaper which is a credit to its age! The newspaper which outlives the rest does so because it was best fitted to—it had to earn the confidence of its readers—and keep it. It had to be a better newspaper than any other, and better newspapers goto the homes of better buyers. Every bit of its circulation has the element of quality and staying power. And it is the respectable, home-loving element of every community—not the touts andthe gamblers— toward which the merchant must look for his business vertebrae—he cannot find buyers un- less he uses the newspaper that enters their homes. And when he does enter their homes - he must not confuse the sheet that comes in the back gate with the newspaper that is de- livered at the front door.

Holcomb, Elkin, will ‘he ease of Dr. J. H. Holcomb, of Union dale, accused of perjury on account of allegde false testi- mony given in the Cotton divorce on behalf of Mrs Cotton, was guickty disposed of when called in squire Rinhardt’s court at ten o'clock ; morning. In fact the case was not called there for an arrangement of the accused doctor, but/the prose- iting attorney dismissed the affida- vit filed there and filed a new affi- javit in circuit court. This ptaces the ease directly under the jurisdic- tion of Judge C. E. Sturgis without any preliminary being held. The afidavit was filed early this morning in cireuit court and Deputy Sheriff ; Pierce was in Justice MRinehart’s vourt when the case there was dis- missed this morning and he immedi- ately re-arrested Dr. Holcomb on a warrant issued from _ the circuit court. The bond was reduced by Judge Sturgis to $1000 and this was furnished by Dr. Holeomb and he continued at liberty. The bond which had been fixed by Justice M. W. Walbert before whom the first affidavit filed, was placed at $2,000 and was furnished by O. L. Cupp and Levi Sewarz, ana they will continue on the new bond. The attorneys for Dr. Hoicomb stated this morning that they were ready for a fight at the preliminary examination and had several wit- nesses on hand. The prosecution had previousiy~ decided, however, not to enter into any preliminary and thus no evidence was opened up. The case will not come to trial in the cir- cuit court before the April term, and possibly not then. It is believed quite likely that a change of venue outside the county will be taken.— Bluffton (Indiana) Evening News... 4-1 The Bigamist Tried. Frank Collins, the bigamist who was brought to this city on last Mon- day night from La Follette, Tenn., was this morning tried before Judge King, and sent to jail in the default ot $250 bond.

One of the largest sensations ever | seen in the court in this city oc- curred last night, when the famous “Breach of Promise Case,” against. | Mr. H. L. MacCall was put on trial.

He instructed them to decide in favor of the plaintiff which they did. re- warding her $3.48 damages, dollars to go to the jury and forty- eight cents to the judge. The iaw- yers and witnesses got nothing. In all the entire trial was well conducted, each acting the part well and keeping the audience amused from start to finish. The Junior League of the Metho- dist church under whose this Mock Trial was given, realized a neat sum from the show, and every- body was well pleased, having got their money’s worth. The amount taken in from the sale af tickets was about $200. tS Dogs and Goats. Recent complaints against the Concord telephone service lodged at the central offices caused an investi- gation as tc the cause of several breaks in the lines in various parts of the city. Yesterday afternon at a home in tha Southern pert of the city where the wires are connected under the house it was discovered that a Shepherd dog had gotten hold of the wires and chewed them in two. The break in the service at this place’ had occurred several times be- auspices was unknown.

When the defense asked until uance was granted Attorney Genrael that some wit- nesses would be here by that time and that he would offer their testi- mony. The state has satisfied itseli with ‘offering testimony to prove that Sen- ator Carmack was slain in Nashville by Robin J. and Duncan 8B. Cooper, }that John D. Sharp, when he heard 'the shots know what they were with- lout looking around, and that prior to i}the kitling, several conferences had lbeen held. This the state contends | ; Soe ; | lays the foundation for proof of con- jspiracy. The state stops here and | wails for the defense to offer its | case. Attorney General McCarn has sub- i poenaed 64 witnesses and has used ‘seareely a score. The others will be | held in reserve for rebuttal. The | defense has not issued a summons | but says its witnesses will be present | without court process By not issu- ing subpoenas it prevents the state ‘from knowing its witnesses’ names. The only incident of today’s testi- ’mony was the state’s attempt to prove by implication that the pistol aa overcoat pocket was put there by one of the attorneys for the defense when, a few weeks ago he went to the morgue and tried on the over- coat. Two witnesses testified it was not in the pocket when the senator was_ killed. It was found in the pocket by General’ Washington of for the defense when he ~ ' counsel } tried on the overcoat. Tho first witness today was Finley Dorris, a2 member of the undertak- ing firm which embalmed Senator | Carmack’s body.

Between the two sessions of the lodge there was a re- ception for Masonic brethren at the C. P. Taft residence, the ceremonies concluding with a brilliant ball. The presence of the _ president-elect graced all these functions. Frank H. Hitchcock, at the re- quest of Mr. Taft, came here today from Chicago and after his confer- ence left for Washington.

Baltimore, Feb. 18.—Afgger eight months’? work surgeons of the City Hospital have grafted enough skin to save the life of a negro boy who had lost three quarters of his skin by burning. In accomplishing the re- markable result the surgeons used skin from puppies and from humans. The patient is Raymond Howard, nine years old, who was burned in 2 gasoline explosion July 4th last. The chiid was admitted to the hospital September Ist. Little puppies were robbed of skin to be used for cover- ing the wound on the child’s back The skin took hold and soon new skin was formed. A pfece of skin taken from an amputation in the case of a white woman was next tried. That, too, adhered to the wound on the back and some of it was placed on the arm and the legs. <A white man had lost a foct. The skin from it was grafted to the boy’s legs, and finally a negro met with a similar ac- cident.

New York, Geb. 18.—A meeting Held to go Into the Matter. New York, Feb. 18.—AA meeting of the full membership of the New York Cotton Exchange was held to- day to discuss proposed amendments to the by-laws and rules governing contracts for the future delivery of cotton on he exchange. The changes recommended were prepared by the special committee Appotfited by the exchange last summer. A date for voting on the proposed amendments will be set later. Among the important changes re- ‘commended are the establishing of a fining the grades deliverable on this proposed contract to the range from “strict low middling’? to good mid- dling’ white cotton. Under no cir- cumstances would any cotton below “strict middline”’ be deliverable on this contract, and if grades above higher than “‘good middling’? should be deliverable oniy at the price of “svood middling.” The adoption of the changes re- commended by the special committee would necessitate the restoration of the so-called quarter, Or intermediary grades. These intermediary grades were abolished on Jan. 1, 1908. While the restoration of these grades would be in the nature of an admis- sion that a mistake had been made by the Exchange in doing away with them it is believed by the committee that the restoration of quarter grades would broaden the market and tend to attract cotton here for deliverery to spinners and the trade, as the so-called quarter grades are genrally recognized in the south be- tween produced and buyer. ——_—_—__++< HANCOCK FOUND GUILTY.

New York, Feb. 18.—It used to worry William Green because he was fat. In Ossning, where he lives, he has always been pointed out as one of the sights. He weights more than 250 pounds. Green is in jail at White Plains under sentence for robbery. It is not being in prison that makes him cheer ful, but that his fat may get him out. The robbery for which Green was convicted occurred Jast August. Ga- ‘briel Santoria, a saloon keeper of Norfth Ossning, looked out of a win- dow and saw some one dragging 2 man through an alleyway. Before Santori2 could do anything the pros- trate man had ben robbed and his assatlant Rad flet. Santoria declared that Green was the man. Green was arrested and convicted. Then his lawyer went up the alley and spent half a day taking measurements. He found that the alley was five and one quarter feet across the opening from the streets, and that it taperef down toward the rear courtyard un- til it was only nine and one-quarter inches wide. He also measured Gréén to find that amidship he measured 58 inches. It was clear to the lawyer, Green, he reasoned could not have squeezed into that nine and one-quarter inch space witliout without sticking fast. So Lawyer Fagan went before County Judge Platt, at White Plains, on Saturday and asked for a new trial for his client. 1 Sheriff Deaton’s Kind Act. Sheriff J. M.

Merchants of Statesville to Give Prizes for Largest Number of Pounds, the Best Averages, the Highest Priced Piles, and the Largest Loads of Tobacco Brought to the Planters Warehouse—Good Chance to Get a Nice Prize. The list of prizes to be given out by the merchants of Statesvil® to those bringing their tobacco to this market is published below. This is a good chance for the farmers of Ire- dell and the surrounding counties who raise tobacco, and these prizes will be on exhibition at the different places of business of the firms giving them away on or before September 15, 1909) and are for the crops to be raised this year. A list of the mer- chants giving these prizes away will be published at a later date. These prizes are all valuable, and will be awarded at the end of the season. These prizes are given to those raising the tobacco, and not to any one buying another's crop and putting with their own, for the best average. This has to be the entire crop that is put on the market. No one will be allowed to compete for these prizes, who sells their best to- bacco here, and their lower grades elsewhere. You can depend upon the management of the Planter’s warehouse getting you as good prices for your tobacco here, ‘as can be had any place else. The merchants will give you the lowest price on their goods that is consistent with legiti- mate business. Some one is going to win one of the handsome prizes offered below and itis up to the- farmers. The only thing you need to do is to work, and you will get one. ‘rhis is to be carried on under the supervision of the merchants of the city who have appointed a committee to look after awarding the prizes, ete.

Wes Shelton, colored who is alleg ed of having hit his step father Lewis Moore over the head with a stick, and then fired a shot gun at him was tried before Judge King this morning at 10 o’clock. The only witness to the affair was Cynthia Moore, the mother of Wes Shelton and thé wife of Lewis Moore. She was of course placed in an embarrass ing position and could not say much. Lewis Moore testified that Shelton and him were arguing the Scriptures, when they became enraged at each other, and Wes hit him on the head with a stick of wood. Lewis said he placed a bottle in his pocket but could not tell for what purpose he did so. Cynthia testified that Wes and Lewis fell out over the argument, Lewis callingWes a d— liar,and then & more vile epithet but she did not notice the lick which Wes is alleged of having given Lewis. After hear- ing the evidence Judge King decided there was probable cause to hold Wes for the higher court, and he was sent to jail until he could arrange his bond, which is $50 in this case and ing making $100 in all. It was also decided by the court that Lewis was guilty of using epithets intended to bring on a fight and he was taxed With the costs in the case; and also given a good lecture by the judge. —_——_++@>-e—————_ LOCAL BRIEFS.

Next Monday, the 22nd, 177 years ago George Washington was born in Westmoreland county, Va. the first president of the United States, the father of his country, and never told a lie. or a long time the school children have been taught to look upon this great American as be- ing above and apart from ordinary mortals; a sort of superman, not pos- sessed of the passions and weaknesses of mere men. This is all very nice and there is but one thing the matter with it and that is that’ it isn’t true. Washington was a man, a great man but still a man, a human. He could cuss as vigorously as any One on oc- casions, and did other things that other men do, such as eating and sleeping, and, as a boy, chopping down fruit trees. Of late several biogarphers have been written which set Washington forth as he was and they are good Dooks to have around to clear up misconceptions about the man who was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Monday is a legal holiday, the post Office will observe Sunday hours, the rural carriers will take a day off and the banks will close. ———_++@>-»—_ THE FACE OF A WOMAN APPEARS ON THE WINDOW Great Mystery Surrounds Mysterious Photograph Which Suddenly Ap- pears on Window Pane. Camack, Ga., Feb. 19.—A myste- rious photgraph of a woman’s face has appeared cn a window pane in the home of W.B. Mayes of this place. It was discovered about two weeks ago but became more inter- esting Monday afternoon just after a heavy rain when it could be seen very plain. Many passengers on the trains have heard of the mystery, and are alighting from trains to take a view of the window while trains are stand- ing at the station for crews to regis- ter. The face is in plain view from “the railroad.’ The house has just recently been finished and fias been occupied only four months. It is situated on the south side of the track near the Motel’ This mystery has been viewed by over a hundred people Tuesday, and all who see are curious to know just how it came o be here.

For fairly complete records of all the shocks occuring in different parts of the globe we can date only from 1902. Before that date, says Prof. Turner, in the paper published by the London Times, from which we quote, information could only be collected on the spot, and was thus trequently lost. It was re- alized about fifteen years ago, more or less, that a series of earthquake observations with delicate jinstru~ ments, could obtain records of shock in any “quarter of the globe, and identify the spot with certainty, even if there were no witnesses of the actual occurance From the records of these observatories it appears that thert are every year some 30,000 minor shocks of earthquake in dif- ferent localities. . Of all these only sixty are ‘‘world-shaking’’ and ob- servable from great distance. Such numbers indicate immediately that, from one point of view, the Italian earthquake cannot be regarded as exceptional. It was only one event out of sixty per annum. ‘What ren- dered it G@isastrous was the existance of great towns in the shaken local- ity. —_~++ 2a Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Carlson leave tonight for Pongo, Ky., for a two week’s visit to Mrs Carlson’s parents.

Christian, tht negro who yesterday criminally assaulted and then mur- dered Miss Mary Dobbs, the pretty 14-year ol@-daughter of a promffent Botecourt county farmer, was today sentenced to die in the electric chair in the State penitentiary on March 22nd. Christian was taken from Clifton Forge today to Fincastle and tried at a special sitting of the court by Circuit Judge Anderson who accom- panied the negro and officers to Fin- castle. Christian was indicted by the Circuit Judge Anderson, who accom panied three lawyers to defend him. At a conference between the lawyers and the prisoner, Christian made a confession of the crime, which he later repeated in court to the judge. The court heard three witnesses who established the time and place of the crime. No jury~was summoned. The judge accepted Christian’s confession and imposed the death sentence. The negro said he Was hiding in the wooas when Miss Dobbs passed by on her way to a store. He seized her and after assauiting her cut cut her throat afd -stabbe@ her three times “fo keep Her from telling.” Christian showed no signs of fright in court.

Captain Mdgg and Riis Arctic Party Send Message From Point Bar- row. Seattle, Wash., Feb. 18.—Private advices received from Port Townsend give news from the Arctic ocean that Captain William’ Mogg and his crew of four men of the whaling schooner Olga, long thought to have been lost in a gale at sea [S months ago are spending the Arctic winter at Point Barrow. The news comes in a letter from Captain Mogg, written on November 1, 1208, and dispatched by Eskimo messenger to Teller City, 800 miles over an almost impassable trail, thence by des team o>nail rout2s through f sine angi St. .%:chael to Valdez and by. steamer to Puget The Mogg expedition left this port in June, 1907, equipped fer a whal- ing venture in waters of the Arctic almost unknown and equally unex- plored. It had the backing of the Geographical Society of London, and planned to visit the Banksland dis- trict. The actual destination of the expedition was Point Cape, Prince Albert, nearly 2,000 miles northeast from Point Barrow. On September (7th, off! Flaxman Island nearly 400 miles from Point Barrow, the vessel became hopeless- ly wedged between the ice, and with young ice forming steadily the sea- son’s work was abandoned. The crew walked to Point Barrow, the trip being attended by grave dangers of falling into fissures. Point Barrow was reached on Oc- tober 17th. From that point Cap- tain Mogg writes that he hopes that the vessel will not be damaged in the spring, and that he can start on his voyage north. — a GIVES RUG WORTH $50,000. eee Washington, Feb. 19.—A rug said to be worth more than $50,008 and alleged to be the’ finest in the world, was presented at the White house to- day as a gift to the nation, and was accepted Dy President Roosevelt.

Concord, Feb. 19.—Mrs. Alida Burkhead, widow of John Whitfield Burkhead and a daughter of the late Capt. John Woodhouse, for many years editor of The Concord Register, committed suicide here today by burning herself to death. At 2:30 o’clocK she complained and told her 17-year-old daughter, Miss Dora, that she wanted to lie down, going to her room at the head of the stairway. There she saturat- ed her clothing with kerosene oil and set fire to herself. Before any one could reach her, the flames had burn- ed the flesh on her face. neck and body to the waistband inf a crisp. She was conveyed to a room in the lower part of the house, where she was attended by physicians until death, which occurred at 7:45. The cause assigned for tle-irra- tional and shocking deed is her very bad physical condition, she having been in poor health for several years, the effects of which had somewhat impaired her mind. The members of her family had kept close watch on the unfortunate woman for many years, but she work ed the ruse today and eluded them. From all information now at hand it is inferred that the Durning of her- self had been planned for several days. ee Mrs. Burkhead was about 50 years of age and is survived by five chil- drén—Misses Dora,Florence and Jes- sie, of this city; Mr. Calvin Burk- head, of the United States navy, who is now on his way from Beaufort to visit his mother, and John Burkffead, who left only a few weeks ago for California, where he is empf6yed onaranch She is also survived by one brother Mr. H. Irvin Woodhouse, president of the Cabarrus Savings bank, of this city. The appalling and distressing af- fair has cast a gloom over the entire city. Mrs. Burkhead, having been reared here from childhood, was well known and esteemed by every one. 4-4 Forgetfulness. A minister’s wife, a doctor’s wife and a traveling man’s wife, met one day recently and weré talking about the forgetfulness of the husbands. The minister’s "wifethought her husband was the most forgetful man man living, because he would go to church forgetting his notes and no one could make out what he was try- ing to preach about. The doctor’s wife thought her husband was more forgetful still, for he would start to see a patient, for- get his case and travel nine miles for nothing. ‘Well,’ said the traveling man’s wife, ‘‘my husband beats that. He came home the other day and pat- ted me on the check and said: “‘I be- lieve I have seen you before—what is your name?” ny ——__4< ro KING ALFONSO WANTS TO FLY WITH WRIGHT.

The mere possession of a deadly conceal- ed weapon has a certain psycholo gical effect upon the most conserva- tive temperaments. Upon even a strong charact@r the ‘‘feel’” of a pistol is likely to breed the desire to use the pistol. In most human beings, with aver- age advantages and average educa- tion, this desire to feel that one can kill if one chooses—this cheap love of ‘the spectacular—passes away rather early in life; or is reserved for a more legitimate and _ exercise on the side of law and order, or in war-time, or in some dangerous call- ing. But the tough nature does not care whether it is exercised on the side of recognized authority or not: it is simply its exercise that such a nature desires. He wants to see himself in a heroic attitude. I have no doubt that many of the Night Riders went into the thing just because it gave them an opportunity to ride around the country at night, in a silly masquerade, with guns in their hands, and in their egotistic hearts that feeling that they belonged band that run things. cra If the young men in the rural communities, and even in some of the large towns tiroughout the south, cannot be convinced that habitually fo carry a pistol—tnless upon occa- sions where one is really needed—is a foolish thing to do. they can at least be convinced that it is expensive habit. The laws against carrying concealed weapons are good enough all that is needed is their general en- forcement by the proper: authorities. Duelling has been frownedon in this country for several decades; but it would be better than such street killings’as that of Carmack, in Nash- ville, or that of Gonzales, in Colum- bia a‘few years ago. In a duel each participant at least has something like an equal Cfiance; but when the “pistol toter’* goes after his man it is not with the idea of giving him a chance for his life. If men of influence and a certain degree of priminence, like the Coop- ers in Tennessee, and the Tillmans in South Carolina, “tote’? deadly weap- ons with which to settle their person- al difficulties—if these men of a class who are supposed to have had cer- tain educational advantages are “pistol toters,” how then are the m- habitants of the Reelfoot Lake dis- trict, the Kentucky and ‘Tennessee and Georgia Mountaineers, and the youths of the narrow inland villages all throughout the south, who are lacking in opportunities and position, to be taught the lesson that “pistol toting” is in vain, foolish, criminal and contemptible habit?—Unéle Re- mus’s Magazine. satisfy toa ——-————_-2-<44>>-o A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. Consumption, pheumonia, diptheria and scarlet fevcer, fovr of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cozxgh Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- easess. For sale by all drugists. ———~~++a>-e—____.

Milwaukee. Wis., Feb. 17—Repay- ing a debt for a few meals given a homeless wanderer, a dog saved the lifes of 10 members of the family of Sebastian Clement, and was shot When when it was found the dog could not recover from burns it re- ceived while playing a hero’s part. “Sport,” the Clement children called the dog when it followed the father home a few days ago, and “Sport’s” tail showed his gratitude for the meals given then. Early this morning, however, he had a better chance to repay the debt. Discovering the fire, before dawn, Sport frantically howled and clawed at the door of the father of the family. Sebastian took the last of his family out of the house uncon- scious. — i Seared With a Hot Iron, ro scaldad by overturned kettle—cut with a knife-—bruised by slammed door—injured by gun or in any Gther way—the thing needed at once is Bucklen’s Arnica Salve to subdue inflamation and kill the pain.

There is no element of the black art about it. In its best and highest form it is plain talk, sane talk—selling talk. Its results are in proportion to the merit of the subject advertised and the abzlity with which the advertising is done. There are two great enemies to advertising profit, and both of them are caused by ignorance of the real functions and workings of publicity. The one is to advertise promises which will not be fulfilled, because all that advertising can do when it accomplishes most is to influence the reader of your copy to investigate your claims. If you promise the earth and deliver the moon ad- vertising will not pay you. If you draw men and women to your store on pretense and fail to make good, advertising will have harmed you because it has only drawn attention to the that you are to be avoided. It is as unjust to charge advertising with failure under these conditions as it would be for your neighbor to rob a bank and find yourself indicted for his misdeed. In brief, advertised dishonesty is even more profitless than unexploited deception. The other great error in advertising is to expect more out of advertising than there is im it. Advertising 1s seed which a merchant plants in the confidence of the community. He must allow time for it to grow. Every successful advertiser has to be The time that it takes to arrive at results rests entirely with the ability and determination you display in the effort. But you cannot turn back when you have traveled half way and declare that the path is wrong. You can’t advertise for a week and because your store isn’t crowded say it hasn’t paid you. It takes a certain period to attract the attention of readers. Everybody doesn’t see what you print the first time it appears. More will notice your copy the second day, G great many more at the end of a month. You:cannot expect to win the confidence of the community to the same degree that other men have obtained it without taking pretty much the same length of time that they did. But you can cut short the period between your introduction to your reader and his introduction to your counters by spending more effort in preparing your copy and displaying a greater amount of convincingness. You mustn’t act like the little girl who planted a garden and came out the next day expecting to find it in full bloom. Her father had to explain to her that plans require roots and that, although she could not See what was going on,, the seeds were doing their most émportant work just before the flowers showed above ground. So aduertising is doing its most important work before the big results eventuate, and to abandon the money which has been invested just before results arrive is not only foolish but childish. Jt would be qust as logical for a farmer to abandon his fields because he could not harvest his corn a week after he planted +t. Advertising does not require jaith—merely com- mon sense. If it is begun in doublt and deserted before normal results can be reasonably looked for, the fault does not lie with the newspaper or with publicity— it rests entirely upon the head of the coward who, & si retreated before he was dejeated.

The girl with a snapely ankie can always find an excuse for crossing a muddy street. An ex-husband is apt to think that all money means all the money. If some women haven't ‘any one to talk to they chew gum so their jaws wont get rusty. Every time a woman makes a call she has some new piece of gossip to turn loose. When a girl refuses to flirt it’s a sign that she is really and truly in love with one man. 1 In after years a married man won- ders why he failed to appreciate a soft snap when he had it. Every middie-aged woman is set in her ways and opinions, but you can’t induce her to admit it. It may be that some men are born great, Dut a woman seldom acquires greatness via the matrimonial route. Perhaps nothing makes a girl so angry as the thought that a young man thinks she would not resent be- ing kissed. The average woman thinks more of her figure and complexion than a man does of everything he pays taxes on. Fame ch —_—_——__++ > Zanding a Husband. An Atchison family of three girls, all of them equally attractive, had a curiosity fo know the best method of landing a husband, and agreed to try an experiment. One of them learned to cook, and was a domestic sort of sirl. Another learned short- hand, and got a position in a down- town office. The third devoted all her to society. If we were writing a story, we would marry off the girl who could cook within three months, but, alas! the facts are different. The society girl has landed a wealthy man, the stenographer girl has an- other nibbling; but the real heroine, the one who can make light biscuits, cook a beef steak and boil a soup bone, has attracted no _ attention whatever.—Atchison Globe. ‘home when she takes posession will | ‘undoubtedly be of ‘March Mrs. Taft’s Domestic Problems.

State Declines to Examine its Extra Witnesses and the Def€nse Begins Its Case—Robin Cooper, the First Witness, Slowly and Deliberately Builds up the Theory of Self-De+ fense—Father Had Warned Car- mack, But the Warning Was Un- heeded—Secured Gun From His and Mrs. J. Meek White gave a’ val-! Uncle and Was Accompanying His Father to the Governor's Mansion When They Met Carmack. Nasheville, Tenn., Feb. 20 This was the defense’s day in the trial of Col. Dunean B. Cooper, Robin J.Cooper and John D. Sharp, charged with the murder of form- er United StatesSenator Edward W. Carmack. Only one witness was examined, the boyish de- fendant, Robin J. Cooper, and he madea splendid witness. When court opered it was expected that the State would offer one or more of its missirg witnesses. At least three arrived last night but the Attorney General decided ‘either not to use them at allor to save them for his big conspir- acy fight in rebuttal. Both sides seemed sparring for time at the opening of the day’s session. Fi- nally the State’a attorneys ap- peared, Then the defense asked for 30 minutes indulgence and took an hour and a half. It was presumed that a conference was on, but in reality the time was requested in order that an X-ray photograph might be taken to learn ii the bullet which Robin Cooper received in the shoulder was still there. Dr. Fort thought it was and so testified. However the day after the shooting Robin Cooper found a bullet in the bed near his knees at the St Thomas Hospital. It was a 38-calibre bullet. i The gun found near Senator Carmack’s body with two empty shells is a 38-calibre. The de- fense evidently wanted to be sure that the X-ray snowed no bullet in Robin’s shoulder be- fore they produced the miecle found in the boy’s bed. In this connection the State has an in- terestIng theory that the revol- ver found near Carmack’s body was not the one forced upon the dead editor by one of his staff a few hours before he was shot. The one picked up is & blue stzel 38-calibre. Colonel Cooper’s re- volver secured a day or two lat- erisa nickeled 38-calibre and apparently had never been dis- charged. Assoon as the X-ray plate bad been developed and disclosed no trace of a bullet the defense announced ready and and called young Cooper to the stand. The boy is @ slender, erect, clean cut, high-bred young man. His features are delicate almost feminine but he carries himself in an erect and manly fashion and there is nothing efi- eminate in his manner. His voice igsoft and well cultivated, he speaks sowly’ almost with drawl. He answered every question with a dstiberateness and caution that at times seemed to exasperate his counsel, Judge Anderson, and put him in the light of an unwill- ing witness. But there is no doubt that his evident sincerity and disinclination to take ad vantage of a situation, made & very stroyg impression on both jury and spectators. His cross- examination was postponed upD- til Monday when it will consume probably most of the day. ——_+<@nre————" ——"~ > , "ee ee ee 7a = SP R ee a ee ee ee a —~ er er e n c e Se r e ea r n ae Pe e er Sk SP S SS S a SR P + ar r RT A TE T EP , PR A Y RO E RR EP RR A TT PO E ce n a — PE T S en ee ae 3s Pe t i t ts a PO N E La po EN E oe =p ee ee ee ee e re pr q u n a n e n a r a a e NS — ~ Me cec e - - _ — - * x = rl * r yr is ae s Bs nS S et e n d l = < : LR A T OR E AR E A S A EB S A SETS AI R E IE .

The les- n of the story had been a lasting inence in this business man’s life. he two boys concerned in the nar- rive were his college class-mates. One of them was a farm hand, a »rawny, slow chap who had made ; mind years before to get out f the day-laborer class.

The ors son used to help the other studies, and the ex-farm and looked up to his superior quick- ness with a sort of awed admiration which was pathetie to see. One day about the end of the first vear, the doctor’s son received a let- ter from“home. His father had died suddenly and his mother had suc- cumbed to the shock a few hours later. It presently turned out that the father had had nothing except a income from practice; so the boy was left high and dry. / He had long talks with his chum about the matter and fold him that it was evidently all up, so far as his career was concerned; he had not the stamina which would enable him to earn his own living while go- ing through college, and he accepted the event as Meaning that he would be side-tracked for the rest of his life. Shortly he had to return home to settle up some Tamily affairs. A few days later he received a let- ter from his room mate, which ran something ag foflows: “Dear Jack: I’ve been thinking things ‘Over. There’s no possible question that you’ll get more out of a coflege course than I could. You'll surely make a mark in ‘the world. JT can never be more than a fourth-rate lawyer.

This will see you through, with strict economy. “Of course, I know you won’t want to do this, but I’ve thought it all out, and it’s the plain common Sense of the situation. Moreover, I shall disappear by the time you re- ceive this and nobody will Know where fam. So you couldn’t return the check, anyhow. “Good-by and good luck.” The doctor’s son took his college “ourse, and is doing very well to- day; and he has never seen his trlend since. it is possible that he got more out of a college course than his frfend might have got.

By Herbert Kaufman. Advertising isn’t magic. There is no element of the black art about it. In its best and highest form it is plain talk, sane talk—selling talk. Its results are in proportion to the merit of the subject advertised and the abzlity with which the advertising is done. There are two great enemies to advertising profit, and both of them are caused by ignorance of the real functions and workings of publicity. The one is to advertise promises which will not be julfilled, because all that advertising can do when it accomplishes most is to influence the reader of your copy to investigate your claims. Ij you promise the earth and deliver the moon ad- vertising will not pay you. If you draw men and women to your store on pretense and fail to make good, advertising will have harmed you because it has only drawn attention to the: fact that you are to be avoided. It is as unjust to charge advertising with failure under these conditions as it would be for your neighbor to rob a bank and find yourself indicted for his misdeed. In brief, advertised dishonesty is even more profitless than unexploited deception. The other great error in advertising is to expect more out of advertising than there is 77 it. Advertising 1s seed which a merchant plants in the confidence of the community. He must allow time for it to grow. Every successful advertiser has to be patient. The time that it takes to arrive at results rests entirely with the ability and determination you display in the effort. But you cannot turn back when you have traveled half way and declare that the path is wrong. . You can’t advertise for a week and because your store isn’t crowded say it hasn’t paid you. It takes a certain period to attract the attention of readers. Everybody doesn’t see what you print the first time it appears. More will notice your copy the second day, . a great many more at the end of a month. You cannot expect to win the confidence of the community to the same degree that other men have obtained it without taking pretty much the same length of time that they did. But you can cut short the period between your introduction to your reader and his introduction to your counters by spending more effort in preparing your copy and displaying a greater amount of convincingness. You mustn’t act like the little girl who planted a garden and came out the next day expecting to find it in full bloom. Her father-had to explain to her that plans require roots and that, although she could not see what was going on, the seeds were doing their most important work just before the flowers showed above grousd. : So aduertaseng 1s doing its most important work tefore the big results eventuate, and to abandon the money which has been invested just before results arrive is not only foolish but childish. It would be qust as logical for a farmer to abandon his fields because he could not harvest his corn a week ajter he planted +t. Advertising does not require jazih—merely com- mon sense. If it is begun in doublt and deserted before normal results can be reasonably looked for, the fault does not lie with the newspaper or with publicity— it rests entirely upon the head of the coward who retreated before he was dejeated.

Reports that a bill would be in- troduced in the House tomorrow prohibiting foreigners holding property in Cuba were coufirmed here late this afternoon. Judge- ing from expressions by members of both houses of Congress, the bill wiil be enated into law al- most unanimously. There may be some opposition to the measure in the Senate, but it appears certain that there are enough radical friends of the proposed legislation to assure its adoption by an overwhelm- ing vote. The property of Amer icans, Englishmen, Spaniards. Germans and Frenchmen which will be affected amounts to near- ly two billions of dollarsin val- ue. The anticipated action by Con- gress will, it is believed, brings President Gomez face to face with a domestic crisis and entail international complications. SCOT.

Airy, and Try to Rob Car—They are Repulsed by the Gun of Messenger Tom Hubbard and Flee for the Tall Timber—Could Not Get Any Blood Hounds—Sheriff and Posse in Search of Bandits. Special from Winston-Salem Charlétte Observer by Phone. Winston-Salem, Feb. 23, 2 a. m.— Three masked men attempted a bold hold up-of Express Messenger Tom Hubbard, who runs on train No 731 between Sanfor dand Mt. Airy, last) night at 7:30, four miles on this side of Mount Airy, but the bandits were repulsed and fled without se- curing any booty. The robbers entered the car while the train was standing at the Ara- rat tank taking on water. They called on Hubbard to throw up his hands but instead of doing this he sniffed out the light and reached for his pistol. A number of shots were exchanged by the four men, and it is believed that one of the badnits was wounded. Hubbard was not hit. The robbers became alarmed at the noisé made by the firing and fled without securing any booty. A message was received here ask- ing that bloodhounds be sent to be put on the trail of the highwaymen, but none were to be had. A furth- er message this morning said that Sheriff Haynes and a posse of depu- ties and citizens were pursuing the three men. At this hour no arrest has been madeso far as 1s learned here. The place where the hold-up was attempted is a wild and rugged point, with the river running beside the track, and the gesting away of the bold trio was an easy matter. ————~++@>-o—__—_ MACHINE TO STRENGTHEN TISSUE, BONE, MUSCLE. Thirty Machines Installed oin New York College, Which WT Lessen Period of Convalescence. New York, Feb. 22.—Thirty steel machines have been install- ed in the new department for mechanicctherapy at the Van- derbilt clinic of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. By the use of the machines tissue, bone and muscle will be strength- ed and the period of convales- cence appreciably lessened. Dr. Charles H. Jaeger, in3tructor of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University, has charge of the machines, which were operated for the first time yesterday. Columbia is the first university to instruct its students of medicine in this branch of the- peutics. Explaining the system, Dr. Jeager said: Mechanico-therepy hastens re- covery and diminishes the period of convelascence 23 per cent. Strange to say, America is the only large nation that is not using those machines in its pub- lic hospitals.”’ —__~++oer>——_ WOMAN SHOOTS SELF WALKING IN SLEEP ee New York Sales Woman is in Hos- pital With Bullet Wound Fired in Sound Sleep. New York, Feb. 22.—Elizabeth Brennan, & young saleswoman, is in @ critical condition at Roosevelt hospital today suffer- ing from a bullet wound in her breast, believed to have been self-inflicted last night while she was walking in her sleep. The young woman’s parents said that she was an habitual somnambulist, and that as there was apparently no motive for the shooting they were inclined to believe that she fired the shot while in a sound sleep. to o et e di a a ei n e ae a ee s —" P et e ’ el ee i h i e t e se m e n e e t i a t e t e ea a e e t e t a t e a a ne R e R E P Te e oe a . yo n EE SS S ne ee ae a TS aa EO PR SM e na y ts Re e s Ni g e l F ix 4 ay * im 8 , f a THE EVENING MASCOT DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY. fice 109 Court Street.

The farm belongs to Prof. Wright, of the University faculty, and is occupied by Thos. Robinson, who, when ques- tioned by the officers who found and destroyed the plants, denied any knowledge of them but admitted that two men came to his place some months ago and Said they were go- ing to make corn whiskey for the students of the Univérsity. i ‘ DESERTS HIS PARTY. Perhaps John G. Wooley, who has far years been one of the most prom- inent leadérs of the Prohibition Par- ty, and who was its candidate for president in 1900, was sincere in the announcement he made at Omaha, Nebraska a few days ago, which was as follows: “I believe the party has accom- plished all the good it can and from now on the most effective work can be carried on outside its lines. The party reached its purpose in bring- ing the liquor questoin to a natonal issue, and its usefulness ended there. It having passed its usefulness, there is no further necessity for it being kept alive.”’ — —_* <i THE END OF THE GALLOWS. ee Hanging in North Carolina is to be relegated to the past as another tribute to humanity if the senate can agree with the house on the bill passed by that body lasf Saturday. This bill is a committee substitute for the electrocution bill introduced by Represenative Underwood, and provides that felons sentenced to pay the death penalty shall be put. to death by the electric chair method at the state prison at Raleigh, in the presence of physicians and a few few witnesses. Among the provi- sions is one that prisoners convicted of criminal assault shall be brought to the penetentiary for safe keeping, but others are to remain in the county jails until final judgements in cases of appeal. If the bodies are claimed by relatives, they are to be sent home at public expense, otherwise they will be disposed of for scientific purposes. The bill will go into effect from its ratifica- cation but will not apply to cases pending. —_ 4? - ee GOOD ROADS A GOOD INVEST- MENT. It matters not how much we raise upon our farms, if we cannot market our products at a price that will give the producer a fair remuneration for his labor and Interest upon his cap- ital invested. Owing to the low rates that are enjoyed by water and railroad the producer living in a community that has good roads can ship his products farther and suc- cessfully compete with him who has to haul over bad roads. An average freight charge per ten per mile on the railroads of this country is three- fourths of a cent and the average cost per ton per nile for hauling Over Ail our roads has been estimated by the general government as being about twenty-five cents. and it is pointed out that if our wagon roads were well improved this expense would be reduced by two-thirds. It will be seen tHat any saving to the producer on-account of having good roads will assist him in paying freight to more remote markets and thus broaden the scope of his mar- ket. Often; where competition is close, good Or bad roads decide the matter as to whether or nof a certain industry can be carried on at a pro- fit for the producer or manufacturer. The matter of improving our roads is, therefore, far reaching in im- portance, for bad roads affect every conceivable interest’ and industry. When the people in one or more sec- tion of the cotniry build good roads, other sections must build them, or they will not be able to compete in the world’s markets with the people who live in districts that have good roads. Such has always been the case to a greater or less degree, but it ap- plies today and will apply in the fu- ture, to a much greater degree than it has in the past. owing to the great improvement in “motor traffic, and the increased improvement in trans- portation facilities by water and rail. The time is not far distant when in communities that have good roads during the entire year the greater portion of the hauling over them will be done by mechanically-driven, not horse-drawn, vehicles. One man will be able to haul several tons at one load and can make quicker trips than he can now make by team. There is no reason why several cars with broad-tired wheels cannot be drawn at one time upon a good road by Ong motor at a less expense per ton than it now costs. Let us consider these things and figure it out as a pure_ business propositoin. —_—__——__+< > Since the Charlotte Observer and the Charleston News-Courier have been so interested recently in ‘‘What the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina,”’ it might interest our frieid, Mr. Caldwell, to know “What the gov- ernor of North Carolina said to the governor of Georgia.’’ We give it below as it appeared in an issue of the Raleigh Observer during the gov ernorship of Zebulon B. Vance. “Perhaps the soldiers of no two states of the Confederacy were on more cordial terms with, or had a higher regard for each other during the war than those from North Car- Olina and Georgia. They trusted each other in battle confidently | and joked each other in camp inces- santly. An amusing incident was told us the other day of a conflict between the two at Malvern Hill. “A colonel of a’ North Carolina regiment, with a part of his com- mand, was- making his way from that battle-field about half-past ten o’clock at night when he was sud- denly halted by a squad of men drawn up across the path, about half a mile from the field of battle. “What troops are those’’ called out the challengers. “A part of the 26th North Carolina,’’ replied its commander, Colonel (now governor) Vance; “what do you want?’ “Now, my friend,’ began the officer of the squad, taking it for granted the North Carolinians had fled the fight ‘‘you’ve got as much to fight for as I have; can’t you rally your men here and make one more stand?” “Look here my friend,’ said Vance, stiffening “up in the starlight, “‘be- fore I argue that with you, answer me one question; didn’t you come out of that fight first? Ain’t I be- hind you?’’ A long laugh revealed a party on horseback near by, on approaching which the future gov- ernor of North Carolina found the future governor of Georgia, Gen. A. H. Colquit. —_——_++@>-e—__—__ This is a common form of muscular rheumatism. No internal treatment is neded. Apply Chamberlain’s Lin- iment freely three times a day and a quick cure is certain.

L. Morrison, near Scotts. Soon after the clock indicated the hour of 12 the jovial guests began to appear and ere long the house was filled to overflowing, and the yard Wes prone to give them room. All were there. the little tot in is snow- white robes, the fair maiden of six and half a score of years; those im- mature in the matrimonial world, and those who had celebrated th«ir Silver wedding. We were delightful- ly entertained by the charming hos- tess until about 3:30, when a mem- ber of the committee of arrange- ments requested us to swell the scores already assembled in the yard, where our worthy county president, Mr. W. B. Gibson, for perhaps thirty minutes most ably portrayed Tie great eloquently benefit which would acerve from this organization as well as some of the dangers. which beset-our pathway. He doubt- less would have spoken longer had not the atmosphere which enveloped him been contaminated with the splendid oder of oysters, which were and being prepared to serve us still more abundantty. All in turn we were invited into the dining room where the fine and most elegantly prepared oysters met our giuze. Among the number were some who were’so overly endowed with politeness that they did not their duty, others, who, on being urged by the fair ladies to indulge more freely, like Adam-of old, yielded and even regretted that their ca- pacities were not greater. We were then yard to a table ushered into the some 30 feet long, uvon which was displayed every pro- duet of the land most artistically and deticiousiy prepared. Those who had been so refined in the din- ing room seemed to have allowed ail ali their refinement te pass into ob- livion, and it was even feared that medical assistance would have to be summoned. All fared sumptuously and enjoyed themselves “hugely” even from the beautiful little girls of two summers to him whose sil- locks indicated that he had passed more than 70 winters on the voyage of life. I Gesire to commend the worthy example of this local for I am want to believe that there is no better better method of promoting brother- ly love, one of the great principles upon which this “organization was founded, than the mingling of our- selves together in a social way. The time passed all too soon: for before we could realize it, th esun, which “had so kindly enshrouded us, with his bright, warm rays, an@ at- tributed so much to our happiness, now signified by his humble position, that it was time to depart. It was at this juncture that cupid appeared on the scene and by his charms, cap- tivated many, and, at Teast, one couple was so hopelessly entangled by him that they knew not the way to go home. which they drove, when under War- ness, usuaily seems to envy the re- cord of the champion harness horse of tie world. on this occasion went forth so gently and slowly that one would think he had come into exisf- ance in ancient times. It may be that this miraculous change in the horse was due to a similar change in the - river. whose temperament, sometimes changeable, overcome by the divine influence by his side, Had ripened into that kind, gentle, sweet disposition characteristic of those of of a better world. Suffice it to say, however. that at most they had not more than one mile to drive, yet the time consumed was from 5:45 until the stars began fo prominently ap- pear.

Thig *being the day for our weekly letter we trust that by careful com- parison you will find a number of changes ‘ have occurred in the mar- ket at ‘the time of our last letter March contracts were selling around 9.67 apd above. Now they are down to 9.3%: having yesterday reached the lowest price of the season, being 9.22. This month has oid as hig! as 9.77, this being ths highest mark. Now what has caused this decline of about 40 or 50 points. In our opin- ion nothing but the stagnant market for yarns, the tariff. and the reported number of fertilizer tags being sold. Well as to the solution of the yarns thi, will not likely right itseif until the tariff is settled. Now as to the reduction of prices of steel which we introduce in our letter to show that the tariff is the principal factor in governing the future prices. so we can conclude that with the state- ments made by the agricultural de- partment as to the sale of fertilizer tags which seem, to show nove or very little decreased as compared to last year. Well in summing up the whole is the fertilizer that is being sold to be used exclusively for cot- ton or what proportion of these good will be uged for cotton. Is it a conceded fact that under a mutual agreement of the farming interests that a considerabie reduction be made in the acreage of cotton thereby making an increase in the acreage } of the cereais and corn and tobacco. Then while we expect a long and tiresome fight over the tariff yet it is a revision which must and will be made will put business of all kinds in a working condition as compared before the panic of 1907 which still is in existence, as we can certainly expect relief instead ‘of depression. Then we believe if facts as stated above that we can surely look for higher pgices in everything. These reasons for showing a depression in everything except in bread stut¢ ought to be apparent. ——————+<@ar>—_—_ CAFE CHANGES HANDS. Mr. W. W. Gaither Sells Out to Jas. A. Lamp€rs & Co. Mr. W. W.

Donean Cooper's Past Unveiled STATE SAYS HE'S A DEFAULTER Cross-Examination of the Ag€d De- fendant Yesterday Attended by Exciting Incidents—A Bitter Fight Between Opposing Counsel, in Which the State is Victorious— Colonel Cooper Describes the Shooting of Carmack, Declaring That he Drew Hig Gun But did Not Shoot—Defense Will Attempt to Show That Carmack Drew His Weapon First. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 24.—After a day replete with exciting incidents the session of the CTooper-Sharp trial for the murder of former Senator Carmack closed with the aged de- fendant, Col. Duncan B. Cooper, still upon the stand. The direct exami- nation of the colonel which began early yesterday morning lasted un- til nearly noon today. Atmost the first thing the state did on CTOSg-€x- amination was to announce that it + would try to prove faat Colonel Coop er was a defaulter to the extent of over $100,000, while clerk and master of chancery in Maury coun- ty. This precipitated a bitter fight between counsel during which harsh words were used and much anger displayed the efforts of Judge Hart to hold the reins tightly. The state won a partial victory and straightway sprang another surprise It resurrected some old legisltive records concerning an investigation into alleged defalcation of state Treasurer M. T. Polk in the early eighties. They offered to prove that thousands of dollars of the state’s money was invested by Polk with Col. Duncan B. Cooper and others in a Mexican silver mine scheme, a walnut log scheme in North Carolina and a scheme to buy The Nashville American. Colonel Cooper admitted that there were irregularities in his office of clerk and master in chancery, but said théy were due to bad manage- ment and poor book-keeping and that every dollar was made _ good. He admitted that Polk was his part- ner in the ventures named, but de- clared that he (Cooper) never han- dled a dollar of the money and had no knowledge that it was taken from the State’. strong box. Colonel Cooper made an excellent witness but one hard to handle even by his own counsel. Repeatef®y he urged Judge Anderson to let the State ask “any questions on any subject.”” And at times, answered over his own attorney’s objections. Now and then he displayed great heat, but he did not contradict him- self upon any point. When court adjourned the cross-examination had reached only the commencement of the trouble, the early editorials. To- morrow the state should reach the actual killing It is likely from the length to which the state is going on the col- onel’s cross-examination that the witness will be on the stand all day tomorrow. —__s+~+@er-oe————_——_ EERSSONAL MENTION Pay oe Mrs. Bowden returne dto her home in Charlotte Wednesday after a few days’ visit to her daughter, Mrs. Owen of this city.

The child was a fine healthy boy only afew days old. It worea white dress and a white lace cap and was wrap- ped in a woolen shawl. The Rev’ Father Foyle was busy baptizing some children when the little foundline was discovered and it was taken to him ard babtized with the others The name Michael Joseph was chosen. The mysterious note which told of the child’s wherea- bout was given to some boy near the church by aman, who after asking him to deliver it, hurried on bis way. ————q~ «<@>o—___--. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms 2 culture bed for germs of in- fectious disease. pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thee ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is jittle danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture veds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in pneumonia. cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting easess. £90 For sale by all drugists. THE EVENING MASCOT!

Those who were on the ganeway when the accident occurred, in- cluded members of the crew, Ste- vedores and stewardesses. They were dashed into the water, which was covered with thick drift ice. The majority of them sustained broken bones, and several were badly crushed. Only seventeen of them were rescued and the officials estimate the dead, some of whose bodies have not yet been recovered, as ten or more. — + S-- A Common Cold. We claim that if catcning cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms 2 culture bed for germs of in- tectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and _ scarlet fevcer, fovr of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is little danger, however, of any of ; these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is used, It cleans out these culture beds that favor the devepopment of the germs of these’ diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni- versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your coid quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis- 2asess.

Dr. Holliday found another cut on him that was very serious and refused to do anything with it, but requested that he be sent to the hospital, and after a delay of 24 hours, he was finally taken there. There “was seven cuts upon his body, inflicted bya razor in the hanas of the Pearson negro. Only one cut may prove, fatal, if the old saying holds good, and that one is on’ his foot, very near the heel. The wound on his. thigh was a very bad one, and it required 20 stitches to sew it up. The other wounds which had been left undressed were very dizty, and gapped open. and infec- tions had already set in before they were dressed. One wound, just hbe- low the left shoulder blade was very deep, cutting through to the ribs.

The fire was discovered about 12:20 this morning, but had gained such headway that nothing could be done, and the poor brutes were burned to @ crisp. it is thought that the barn was fired by some one, but no one has been sus- picioned in connection with it. Mr. Caldwell had had a baie of cotton stored in the barn for some time, but by mere good luck, he took it to Troutman yesterday and sold it.

Eaptist Clergyman, Who Was Form- erly a Reformed Dutch, Has Now Joined Presbyterians. New York, Feb. 25.—Rev. Madi- son C. Peterg has again changed his church. Last night he changed from the Baptist faith and was formally admitted into membership of the Brooklyn Presbyterian. By way of explanation it is said Dr. Peters was not fully in sympathy with a denom- ination which recognized immersion as the only form of saving baptism. Consequently he decided to become a Precgbyterian, which recognizes sprinkling as well. Dr. Peters was first a pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church, then be- came a Baptist, and held severai pas- torates. Then two years ago he left the pulpit and began preaching to what he called “unchurched audi- ences” in theatres and other public’ places. ——_—_—_—_2-+ SUFFRAGETTES “SOAKED.” Whole Bunch, Including Some of the Royalty, Sent to Jail.

That corn contest in Alabama Is attracting attention from many sec- tion, of the country, and it is con- fidently believed by many planters that it will result in decreasing the acreage of cotton in that state con- siderably this year, and that farmers will greatly profit by the change. Already about $1,500 is offered in prizes for the best acres in corn raised by men or boys, and no wo- man or girl is barred. It will be a great corn year if sev- eral entries are made from each county in the .tate. True, $200 for the best acre is not a fortune, but it will be the start of a fortune to sev- eral young men and boys. <A young man who makes the best acre of corn in his county will naturally foileow up his one acre with ten acres or twenty acres. There have been enough entries reported *o show that the farmers of Alabama are intere..ted in the cul- ture of corn to make it interesting. Every man who cultivates corn at all should cultivate one or more prize acres. The department of agriculture at Montgomery is offering a serics ef prizes that : should cz ause an Interest anized farm- ers, the conte st Pnoaia be made in every county. This can be made a very interesting year to the fariners, if they will enter for each of the prizes. It costs nothing but energy and care, and the farmer will make by it even if he does not win a prize. Every farmer and every boy on a farm should get into the game for either corn or potatoes, or oats, or hay, or sorghum. A letter to the department of agriculture, Mont- gomery, Ala. will bring all the de- tails wanted.— Columbus, Ga., Led- ger. (OED HELPING TO BURY YOUR TOWN.
