The minister of marine egtimates the number dead af 115,000, but this is regarded as ultra conservative. A fresh horror was added this morning by another’ earthquake strong enough to shake down the crumbling walls, and it is believed that thousands more were killed. Lloyd GriscOm, the American am- bassador, hag dispatched a special agent to the south to investigate how many Americans were killed and to report the names of all those suf- fering. : The bodies of 300 soldiers were washed ashore at Palma today, which leads to the belief that an entire reg- iment perished in the tidal wave. Practically all the foreigners at Messina, Reggio, others of the de- stroyed towns who have not yet been heard from; are in all probabil- ity dead, acccording to a statement today. Thousandg of inquiries have been sent to the authorities on the scene, who made every effort to lo- cate the persons sought, but com- paratively few have been found. Hundreds of bodies will never be recovered. = Many were incinérated in the ruins and others washed out to sea by tidal waves. Probably the closest final estimate made of the victims cannot come within ten thousand of the ac- tual number. Southern Italy and the north coast of Sicily are today one huge hos- pital. The number in urgent need of medical treatment is estimated at 10,000. ‘Ten péf cent. of these will succumb to their injuries.

Owing to the fact that alt the prin- cipal vaults of the San Francisco mint had become filled with gold coin and the basement and other less secure vaults of the mint had to be used to Sfore this additional accumulation of gold, it was deemed desirable to move this amount to the new modern vaults of the Denver mint, which are the largest and most secure of any in the Unfted States.

The old year was ushered out last nigkt by the ringing of many bells and the shooting of fire works The new year iS now upon us and each and: every one should try to make it better than the past one has been. Many great and good things have been accomplished by the good people of our state during the past year. The main thing accom- plished was the voting out of whfgk- ey, which ent into effect with the new year just in. That one object was a cause of great rejoicing over the entire state. The past year has smiled very fa- vorably on the citizens of Statesville. despite the fact it was a so called panic stricken year. Themerchants of the city as a whole have enjoyed a very liberal patronage this year. In fact several say the business for the past year has been normal the business for the year 1906-07 being very abnor- mal. As to the building developments, Statesville enjoyed a -very liberal share of that, in spite of the hard times. The following business blocks, besides several dwellings and a church have been built this year, to-wit: The Patterson building on Broad street, the Mills building on Broad street, the new annex to the Hotel Iredell and the new block next to the postoffice. Besides these buildings mentioned, there has also been many other im- provements made here during the past year. The manufacturing plants of the city have as a whole enjoyed a very good business during the past year. The furniture and cotton plants have all made very good time, al- though the wages of the employes have been cut a little. One cotton mill of the city has only been shut down for about three weeks during the year, and that was for break downs and holidays. ..The year 1909 from present pros- pects, promise to be a very prosper- ous one, and every citizen should set their mind to boost and not kick our little city. 4+) ——_—_ Three Per Cent Dividend. The stockholders of the Iredell Telephone Company were today paid a dividend of 3 per cent on their shares. This company was organized about two years ago in competition to the Bell Telephone company, and its success has been remarkable. It is a home industry and the citi- zens of Statesvile and the surround- ing country have rallied to its as- sistance in great numbers. The Iredell Telephone Company has about 500 phones in the resi- dences of the city and besides that there is country connections in all the adjoining counties. They have a fine system and at the present rate of business the stock will be very valuable in a few years. Statesvile citizens do not believe in monopolies, the fact having al- ready. been illustrated by the treat- ment of the Bell company in this city. ——— 4 According to divorce records, the worst dangers and pitfalls of Wall street have yellow hair and run a typewriter. NORTH CAROLINA APPLES. Growers in Western Carolina Are Or- ganizing for Better Work. Under the heading ‘‘Famous North Carolina Apple District,’’ The South- ern Field has The following to say of the best apple-growing section ot the state: “The Brushy Mountain Fruit- Growers’ Association is the title of an organization formed iast year with headquarters at Taylorsville, N.

Washicgton, Dee. 30.—Uncle Sam winds up the calender year 2908 with a badly stracken pock- etbook. Since tke fiscal year or buisness year began on the first of last July he has spent about $65,000 GOO more than he made. This is the showing for only half the year and by the end of the fiscal twelfth month it will be consider- vble more thon $100,000,000 Secretary Cortelycu estimates thatit .will be $114,000,000. Last year the deficit was only $58,000,000 for the twelve months and the year before there was a surplus of about $40,000,- 600. Next year, if he is proportiona- tely extravagant, the deficit will he flirting with the $200,000,-. 000 mark and he has atthe present day only about $151,000 000 cash balance in the treas- ury. The Ways and Means Commit- tee are earnestly seeking meth- ods to forestall. this enormous shortage. The easiest way, ap- pareatly, is to increase the tariff apd this will be done wherever an oppportunity persents itself apy duty at all, provable will be called upon to help the treasury out of its present hole. A duty of fivecents a pound would not be felt seriously by the consum- ers, itis argued and may bring in a revenue of $10,000,000 or $50,000,000. Practically every- body in the country drinks cof- fee, tea or both, and the revenue to be derived from this source, ia Aherefore, @ certain one and as permanent as it is sure. Another schemes the Ways and Means Committe is considerinz isa bank check tax. It was re- sorted to during theSpanish-Am- erican war and proved a money- getter beyond expertation. The treasury expeets a bank state- ment will bring in $40,000,000, more. Still a third suggested re- venue producer, but onethat will probably not be adopted, is that of an additional dollar a barrel on beer. This was tried during the Spanish war and netted the government about $30,000,000, annually. << Contributions Youring Into Washing- ton.

THe KIND OF COURTS. —— ' The Windgor Ledger talks sense on the court question so much so we wish to submit its remarks as our sentiments. It says: The idea of having recorders courts about the State“is against the spirit as well as the letter of our constftu- tion. The old inferior court was tried for years and failed and was abolished All the talk of abolish- ing the office of justice of the peace is waste of words. They are provid- ed for in the Tonstitution and we must have them. The recorders court does not contain the germ of our court System and that is rotation. That is the strength and beauty of our present judicial system. The man who holds. perpetual court in the same Place, soon comes to have his favorites among the people and the lawyers.. The local court breeds scandal and breeds law suits. We are quite sure this is the rule. Then too they are not final but can be appealed from to the Superior court. i If anything is needed is is over- hauling of our districts, a redistrict- ing of the State and thé addition of other districts. : The makers of our constitution, were men of wide experience, learn- ed in the-law and the science of hu- man government, and they never in- tended that justices courfs or any faferior courts should have more than a commitment jurisdiction ex- cept in a very limited degree in cases where the liberty of the citizen or right of property could be serfously involved. " Justice courts were created also to take action between terms of the superior courts to apprehend crimi- nals and send them up to this court for trial-at the regular term, As the Ledger well says justice courts are constitutional courts and cannot be abolished except by amend- ment by striking out of the constfitu- tion this provision, Recorders courts do not relieve the congested dockets in- couties: tHa— now have them for the reason that their jurisdiction at the most cannot be ich larger than justice courts on account of the con- stitutional inhibition besides they are much more é€xperienced. Let well enough alone. _———+~+@n- eo FACTIONAL DIFFERENCE. The Charlotfe Observer in a short editorial points a moral to the dem- ocrats of the Fifth Congressional district that might be adopted by a lot of folks in the State. It says: “Our friends in the fifth congress- fonal district are up early, They apparently regard its redemption in 1910 either as a thing assured or to be accomplished by a twist of the wrist.. There are proposed for the nomination six or eight gentllemen_ each of whom is worthy of it, but &s an outsider with the friendliest interest we would remark that un- less they profit by what might Tave been learned this year of the danger that lurks in. personal and factional division, disaster. will again be found waiting on the way. It might as_ well be indellibly impressed into the minds of all dem- ocrats all over North Carolina that unless the bitter factional differ- ence is eliminated from party tac- tics such as we have had in the state among democrats this state is going to be turned over to the republicans. Those who want to preserve the par- ty should continue to warn demo- crats about this matter and to set down on candidates who want to exploit their own ambitions at the cost of the supremacy of the demo- cratic party of this State. ——++@->—__ Statesvillg, Route No. 3 Items Christmas has come and gone, and everything passed off very quietly.

ABOUT ADVERTISING—NO. 1 The Perambulating Showcase By Herbert Kaufman. The newspaper isa Auge shop window, carried about the city and delivered daily into hundreds of thousands of homes, to be exam- ined at the leisure of the reader. This shop window is unlike the actual plate glass show- case only in one respect—it makes display of descriptions instead of articles. You have often been impressed by: the difference between the decorations of two window-trimmers, each of whom employed the same materials for his work. The one drew your attention and held it by the grace and cleverness and art manifested in his display. The other realized so little of the possibilities in the materials placed at his disposal that un- less some one called your attention to his bungling you would have gone on unconscious of its existence. An advertiser must know that he gets his results in accordance with the shi// exercised in preparing his verbal dispiays. He must make people stop and pause. Hs copy has to stand out. He must not only make a show of things that are attractive to the eye but are attractive to the people’s needs as well. The window-trimmer must not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest stocks are the most salable. The advertiser must not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest words are the most clinching. Windows are too few in number to be used with indiscretion. The good merchant puts those goods back of his plate glass which nine people out of ten will want after they have seen them. The good advertiser tells about goods which nine readers out of ten will buy if they can be convinced. Newspaper space itself is only the win- dow, just as the showcase is but a frame for merchandise pictures.. A window on a crowd- ed street in the best neighborhood, where prosperous persons ‘pass continually, is more desirable than one ina cheap, sparsely settled neighborhood. An advertisement in a news- paper with the most readers and the most prosperous ones possesses a great advantage over the same copy in a medium circulating among persons who possess less means. It would be foolish for a shop to build its win- dows in the alleyway—and just as much so to put its advertising into newspapers which are distributed among “‘alley-dwellers.”’ (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.) GIRL TELLS STRANGE STORY. Miss Lilly Henrietta Bayard, Claim- ing Wilmington as Her Home, Fallis Into the Hands of the Rich- mond Police, Who Believe They Have a Swindler, Richmond, Va_, Dec. 30.—Miss Lil- ly Henrietta Bayard, who claims Wil- mington as her home was placed un- ier arrest this afternoon, charged with obtaining money under false pretense of charity. The police be- lieve that they have landed the fe- maie swindler whom they have been trailing for the past week. Miss Bayard, who is scarcely more than 18 years of age, says that she is making her way back to Wilmington after a Christmas visit to her father, who is an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at Hampton, and that the charity aske@ was to enable her to pay her way, she having been robbed of her purse containing $50 between Old Point and Richmond. She al- leges that she has in reality received no money of any kind while here. The girl has been turned over to the Associated Charities by whom she will be retained until the police have made more defailed investiga- tion. She says she came to Rich- mond because she believed she would have a better chance of securing money in a large city. —_—~+<+>-o—___—_ If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.

Landmarks of Paris. 4{T HAS A STORMY HISTORY. | This Picturesque Burial Place Has Served as a Battleground as well as a Graveyard—Its Monuments, Lovers and Disconsolate Widows. Pere Lachaise is the largest and quite the most interesting of the Paris cemeteries and named after the Jesuit confessor of Louis XIV., whose coun- try seat occupied the site of the present chapel until the ground was made a cemetery in 1804. It covers 110 acres of ground, is picturesque, but quite un- lovely. Hare wrote about the tombs that “weight was their chief peculiar- 4ty and that all the monuments looked as if each family had tried to pile as much marble as possible on to their deceased relatives.” Pere Lachaise has a stormy history. In 1814 the Russians fought the French ahere and gave them a beating. Dur- dng the commune the Versaillais and Communards fought several pitched @attles among the tombstones and did ‘considerable damage. But it is not 60 much with the history of the ceme-. tery as with the people buried in it that we have to deal. A volume might be filled with the mere list of all the celebrated men and women buried in it, for, as Victor Hugo wrote, “being buried in Pere Lachaise is like having mahogany furniture—a sign of ele- gance.” In Pere Lachaise the monument which attracts most visitors is that of Abelard and Heloise, the two most fa- mous lovers in the world. The monu- ment was first erected 637 years after their death and brought to Pere La- chaise in 1817 from the museum where ft had been during the revolution. An- other famous lover, Alfred de Musset, Hes buried not far from the two wil- lows over the graves of Heloise and "Abelard. David, the painter; Rachel, the actress; Balzac, Scribe, Michelet and many other well known folk lie mear at hand. Admiral Sir Sydney Smith, Lord Seymour and other well known Englishmen are to be found in other portions of the cemetery, while literature is represented not only by great authors, but by Lesurques, the victim of Dubose in the famous legal Lyons Mail imbroglio. But Pere Lachaise has more romance than in its tombstones. Chatting one day with one of the old soldiers who are the keepers of this grim park, 1 learned some curious facts about it. “We never have a dull moment,” the man said. “You may think that our time here ts monotonous, but you are quite wrong if you do so. To begin -with, there are the burglars. The cemetery {s overrun with them. There are three kinds of burglars. There are the connoisseurs who often get away with valuable prizes, for you “will be surprised at the works of art of small size which people put in their chapels. The window is broken, a stick slipped through the hole, and all sorts of things worth having are fished out; then the bronze stealers, who take away as much as they can carry in their special pockets and make from 15 to 20 francs a day at the game until we catch them. “A little while ago a bust weighing forty pounds was taken out of the ‘cemetery over one of the walls.- But 'the most curious form of robbery is, ‘perhaps, that of the pearl wreaths. ‘Women are the principal offenders. ‘They select the new ones, which are not weather stained, flatten them with ‘their backs against the tombstone, ‘slip them under their dresses, and when they have got away with them (xve have no right to search even sus- picious looking customers) sell them to dealers, to whom they tell the well ‘worn story of a poor workwoman who has need of food. ‘ “You would hardly believe ft, but ‘Pere Lachaise,” said the keeper, “is a \favorite meeting place for lovers. We iget lovers of all ages, and perhaps ‘more schoolboys and schoolgirls than anything else. But the three most curious things we see here in the ceme- tery are the forlorn widows, the letter boxes and the cafe.” “The cafe?” I asked. “Yes. There are hundreds of people in Paris who refuse to believe that their dead do not enjoy after death the good things they used to like when they were alive. Mothers bring apples and sweets and leave them op the tombstones of their children. Peo- ple bring wine and glasses, and there fs one old gentleman who leaves a potato salad on his son’s tombstone regularly every Sunday. Of course the children soon find out these things, and we have never been able to con- fince the people who bring them of the absurdity of doing so. It is a very harmless superstition, after all.” “and the letter boxes?’ I asked. “Lovers’ letter boxes?’ said the guard- fan. “There are dozens of them in all parts of Pere Lachaise. Sometimes they are aoles in the trunks of trees; sometimes they are little hollows un- der stones. | “Lhe inconsolable widow is a fre- quent visitor. She is a pretty woman, ‘and bleck suits her. She kneels down by a tombstone, rarely the same one, and when a likely looking mourner of the other sex appears bursts into tears. He consoles her pretty soon, and the two leave the cemetery arm in arm. One of these widows invited me to her wedding six months ago, and last month I was called to give evidence gbout her meetings with her victim, , had seven other husbands liv- LOCAL BRIEFS.

Death List of the Lick Branch Mine Disaster Will Probably Reach Six- ty—Mine Was Inspected in August and Pronounced in Good Shape. Bluefield, W. Va, Dec. 31.— Forty-nine bodies have been re- eovered from the ill-fated Lick Brauch colliery, in which an ex plosion occurred last Tuesday and itis net known how many more ere there. It was a more disastrous ex- plosicn than was at first sup- posed, the cause for this being the fact that it was pot known how many men were at work at that time in the miue. There is scarcely any doubt but that the dead will reach six- ty. The record of all the mining Jepartment shows that State Mine Inspector D. R. Philips in- spected this mine in August, 3 ending some time there and his report was to the effect that she ventilation was good and the drain:ive fair, that there was ao dust no gas and no danger- ous practices on the part of the smployes, and that the general sondition and safety of the miue was good. The findings of the mine inspectors now investigat- ing the explosion have not been nade public. —_———_—$_4<+ > CUT OFF MOTHER’S HEAD, Claims He Was Divinely Inspired to Commit the Crime—Arthur Trot- ter, Aged 33,.in a Fit of Insanity’ Beheads His Mother, Aged 70, With an Axe and Kiaiife and Then Jumps brom Second Story Win- dow.

These witnesses which in- eluded John R. Williams, Justice of the Peace Stephen Fields and five others. Each declared that Garret Johnson bore a good rep- utetion and that Frank Febrin- ger, the confessor, was a man of bad reputation. But each also declared that ever since night- iriding began, Johnson was sus- | pected of being the captain of the band and that while Ferhin- ger was known as “bootlegger” of whiskey, he had a reputation of telling the truth. The Attorney general asked Justice Fields if he were not only a sympathizer with the night- riders, but an actual memter of the band.

Hazard Writes ‘‘Teddy’’ a Hot Letter, Telling Him he Must not Accost His Daughter in an Angry Mood—Says he Hopes One Warn- ing Will be Enough. Washington, Dec. 31.—Carleton B. liazard, a wealthy Virginian who jives on a thirty-acre suburban tract near Rock Creek Park, where his young daughter takes daily rides, has sent the following leter to the Presi- dent: ; “Ifon. Theodore Roosevelt. “Sir: My little daughter, Martha, fourteen years old, came home about two weeks ago from a horseback ride crying and stated that she had been accosted by you while riding in Rock Creek Park. She informs me that she unexpectedly came upon your party and guard, and not wishing to pass you she simply rode slowly back of you until she should come to the road that would lead her toward home, whereupon you turned on her and asked her if she did not think able had followed you long enough, ordered her to take a side road which would have led her away from home. She refused to do this, and promptly told you she could take the other road which led her toward her home, and did so. “IT notice, from an article in the Evening Star of this city, that you angrily turned upon some college girls, knocking the foot of one of the young ladies from the stirrup and at the same time striking her horse with your crop, for passing you. “Did you expect my little daugh- ter to dismount upon meeting you? I cannot comprehend how a gentle- man could accost young girls unpro- tected on a public road with fits of anger. As for my little girl, she shall take her rides as usual, and if she shoulé be so unfortunate as to meet you again I feel confident that this communication from me will be sufficient to assure her safety here- after. 4 “CARLETON B.

King Goes to Jail. John King, colored, was tried be- fore “Judge King’ this morning on two charges to-wit, larceny of a hat and two bags of cotton. Hon. Z. V. Long appeared for the defendant. After hearing the evidence Judge King decided there as probable cause and asked for a bond of $100 in each case. King Was unable to give bond, and was taken back to jail. King last November stole a hat from Mr. A. A. Turner of thfs city and made his escape. He -was ar- rested at Winston a few days ago and brought here by Sheriff Deaton.

A meeting of the North Carolina Chair Associatihn was held at Greens- boro yesterday. Business relating to the manufacture of chairs was attend- ed to. Mr. W. L. Gilbert, secretary and treasurer of the Atha Chair Company Scheme to Make Air do the Work Will be Demonstrated in Chicago This Week. Chicago, Dec. 31.—Honk! Honk! Look out for the vacuum producing propeller. It is going to revolution- ize the automatic industry, it is said, by driving automobiles with atmo- spheric pressure. No more gasoline will be needed. If you doubt this ask John A. Wede, of Travers City, the inventor, who arrived in Chicago today for the purpose of demonstrating his device. A public test will be made some time this week. To the unitiated the ar- rangement for producing and utiliz- ing vacuum as motive power may ap- pear complex. Mr. Wede’s descrip- tion of the device herewith will make it all simple, maybe. parr “The propeller is in the form of a tube built of steel and is placed on the flooring of the step,’’ said Mr. Wede. ‘“‘By means of electric fans the air is drawn from _ th’e tube, which, like the piston rod of an en- gine, rushes forward. That sets the vehicle in motion, the speed being controlled by a lever connected with the fans. The propeller is perfectly, practicable and I have already been offered $150,000 from a Chicago firm for the machine. I drove yes- terday ten miles in a buggy propelled by one of my~“wooden models.”’ + LYNCHINGS INCREASE. “= The Lynchings for 1908 Total Eighty- Kight Victims. Chicago, Dec. 31.—The lynchings record for 1909 shows that the prac- tice of taking summary vengeance on persons guilty of certain forms is in- creasing rather than diminishing. The ‘figures for the twelve months begin- ning January 1, 1908, are larger than for several years past. Though the most of the lynchings occurred in the south, they were not confined to that section by any means, Springfield, Ill., was the scene of the greatest race riot of the year, resulting in the lynching of two negroes and the kill- ing and wounding of a number of citi- zens who participated in riots that laste@ several days. Oz the other northern states one lynching is re- corded of Indiana, while California furnished the only lynching in the Far West. Misissippi, Georgia and Texas, in the order named, furnished the greatest number of lynchings for the year. <A quadruple lynching in Ken- tucky increased the figures in that state over those of previous years. The record of Texas for 1908 was six- fold greater than in 1907. In Ar- kansas, Alabama and Louisiana there were fewer lynchings than in 1907. Oklahoma shows a clean slate and so do Maryland, Missouri, Iowa and Ne- braska, in all of which states lynch- ings occurred in 1907. The lynchings for 1908 total eighty eigh. This number is exclusive of several who met death whille being pursued by posses of resisting arrest. Of the eighty-eight victims, eighty- four were negroes and four were white men. —_———_—_+1+e>o———_—— KILLED BY GAS. But a Mystery Surrounds the Trag™ edy, for it Could Not Have Been Suicide.

Company. i Wilmington Dec., 31.—Readers of the State papers will recall the mys- terious disappearance some months ago and the recent reappearance of 3 Man named Hayes, of Fair Bluff, Cumberland county, who was for the time mourned as dead; a body fished out of the river where he was sup- posed to have been drowned and the remains interred, the family subse- quently furnishifig proof of death and making claim to $5,000 insur- ance hich he carried in the Metropol- itan, Virginia and one other insur- ance companies. The two leading merchants of Page’s Mill, 8. C., where the father of the young man resides, were here yesterday and say that the body buried and supposed to have been that of the missing man’ was ex- humed by the elder Mr. Hayes and a close examination revealed that it was the body of a hog instead of a human. The remains were taken out of the Hayes family burying ground and buried elsewhere in case the insur- ance companies desire to pursue the investigation any further. The younger man is understood to have spent the time he was away from home at Manning, S. C., under an assumed name, being identified by a detective of the insurance com- panies, who had no further interest in him after it was found that he was still alive and the policies were nox payable. it will be recalled that the body was taken out of the river some three weeks after the drowning is supposed to have taken place and that the head and limbs were appar- | ently gone as the result of being eaten by fish and other water creatures. The coat of Hayes was found buitton- ed iightly around the trunk and the identification of the body was the garment, papers, etc., in the pockets. “he younger man is said to have left; Page’s Mill again and so far as is knewn there is no effort by the com- patos teward his prosecution. hE Corner Stone Laying. The corner stone laying of the new graded school at Stony Point took place yesterday aiternoon, Mr. C. B. Webb formerly of Statesville now of Salisbury being master of the cere- mony. ees The corner stoné laying, the pre- sentation of a flag and Bible was done by Mr. Webb, with a short but very appropriate speech. Last night in the building, Mr. Webb and Prof. L. O. White of this city, made a speech each, to a large audience. 7 % A box supper was also held by which about $15 was raised for put- ting desks in the school building. The new building which is modern in every respect is very handsome and has three class rooms and a iarge auditorium. It was built jointly by Alexander and Iredell counties, it being situated just over the line in Alexander county. The school will open on next Mon- day and Prof. Jas. Hendren will be the principal, with Miss Lula Fergu- son of Haywood county as his first assistant. ; The school promises to have a large number of scholars on opening and it is indeed a credit to Alexander and Iredell counties and Stony Point, which is a most enterprising little vil- lage in these parts is indeed lucky in securing the school in their little village. —_——_~ +o “Goober Parcher’’ Burns.

The blaze from the torch under the roasting apparatus jumped onto his coat sleeve, burning very rapidly. The little negro set up a warhoop that could be heard above all the other noise, as if he was being mur- dered. fs Several gentlemen on the street seeing his plight ran to him, and ' smothered out the blaze, but not be- fore it had burned his coat and shirt sleeve from his arm. a His arm~was burned a little, but , not enough to cause him any incon- venience. ~- i a as a et La aad See Seas se a hat alia REP ES tt, OORT 2 : buck Deer Kills Hunter HUNTER’S BODY IN MILL POND.

The facts in the case as heariy as can be ascer- tained, are as follows: Mr. Swindell, witha party of several men, was out huntirg and while the others were stat- ioned behind he went ahead with the dogs and before very long struck ascent. Sometime after- wards the dogs came out of the woods and the other men, after waiting a whilefor him to return, started a searching party but aiter hunting all day failing to loeate him, A posse of 100 men searched all day yesterday with the same result, and yesterday afternoon Sheriff Ricks received a telephone message asking blood-hounds. Mr. Hines of Greensville, was engaged and with his blood-hounds’ immedia- tely went to Pantego. The dogs located the body of Mr. Swindell about 12 o’clock today lying in the Broad creek mill pond in about three feet of water, and a large buck deer nearby.

Union City, Tenn., Jan. 1.—The de- fense in the trials of the eight alleged night riders for the murder of Capt. Quentin Rankin spent today piling up alibi and character testimony, which the state in cross-examination tried to demolish. Witness after witness swore that the defendants bore good reputations, but each admitted that that the defendants were general'y believed to be night riders. One witness who swore that the state’s witneses were men of bad rep- utation, admitted that he was a con- tributor to a purse to defray the ex- pense of the defense. Not one of the twenty-six witnesses examined today developed a new fact. It seems probable now that the tes- timony on both sides will all be in by Monday or Tuesday. EP PERSONAL NOTES.

Mr. Lee Albertson was tried this afternoon at 2 o’clock, before Judge W. W. Turner for drawing a pistol on Mr. Chas. Miller. Mr. H. Burke appeared for the state, and Messrs. McLaughlin and Nicholson for the defendant. From the evidence in the case it seems that Mr. Miller and Mr. Al- bertson had been running.a meat market in “‘cahoot’? in the latter’s store on depot hill. Mr. Miller decided to remove the meat tools and fixtures from the market and Mr. Albertson did not care to have the meat, of wich there was only four or five pounds and a pan of tallow, removed from the place. It seems that Mr. Miller was going to remove it whether or ont, and had handed the pan to a boy who worked for him to be put in a wagon. At that moment Mr. Albertson apv~- peared on the scene and demanded that the tallow be not removed.

A good many husbands are utterly spotted in the cooking, Some -wo- men set them constantly in hot wa- ter; others let them freeze by care- lessness and indifference Some keep them in a pickle all their lives, It is not reasonable to suppose that any husband can be teMder and appetiz- ing treated in this way, but they are really delicious when properly pre- pared In selecting your husband you should not be guided by the sil- very appearance as in buying mack- erel, nor by the golden Tint, as in »ickink salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to market for him, The best are always brought to your door, But it is far better to have none un- less you will patiently learn how to cook him. aie A preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is best; but if you have nothing but an earthen pipkin, it will do, with -¢are. See that the lin- en in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended with the requir- ed number of buttons and strings se- curely sewed on; tie him in the ket- tle by a strong comfort cord. - The duty cord is breakable and apt to let him fly out of the kettle and become burnt and crusty on the edge. Of course, you know that like a crab or lobster, you have to cook him alive. Set him near a clear, steady fire of Jove, neatness and cheerfulness. If he sputters and frizzles, do not be anxious Some do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice will improve him. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir gently watching the while lest he lie too flat and too close to the kettle and so become flabby. If thus treated, you will find him digestible, agreeing nicely with .you and _ the children He will keep as long as you like, un- less you become careless and set him in too cold’ 4 place. —Woman’s Home Companion. ———_~2-+ -e_ WOMEN’S WOES. Statesville Women Are Finding Re- lief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” 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 and 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. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ”? For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

The newspaper is a Auge shop window, carried about the city and delivered daily into hundreds of thousands of homes, to be exam- ined at the leisure of the reader. This shop window is unlike the actual plate glass show- case only in ove respect—it makes display of descriptions instead of articles. You have often been impressed by the difference between the decorations of two window-trimmers, each of whom employed the same materials for his work. The one drew your attention and held it by the grace and cleverness and art manifested in his display. The other realized so little of the possibilities in the materials placed at his disposal that un- less some one called your attention to his bungling you would have gone on unconscious of its existence. An advertiser must know that he gets his results in accordance with the séi//] exercised in preparing his verbal displays. He must make people stop and pause. His copy has to stand out. He must not only make a show of things that are attractive to the eye but are attractive to the people’s needs as well. The window-trimmer must not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest stocks are the most salable. The advertiser must not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest words are the most clinching. Windows are too few in number to be used with indiscretion. The good merchant puts those goods back of his plate glass which nine people out of ten will want after they have seen them. The good advertiser tells about goods which nine readers out of ten will buy if they can be convinced. : Newspaper space ‘itself is only the win- dow, just as the showcase is but a frame for merchandise pictures. A window on a crowd- ed street in the best neighborhood, where prosperous persons pass continually, is more desirable than one in a cheap, sparsely settled neighborhood. An advertisement in a news- paper with the most readers and the most prosperous ones possesses a great advantage over the same copy in a medium circulating among persons who possess less means. It would be foolish for a shop to build its win- dows in the alleyway—and just as much so to put its advertising into newspapers which are distributed among ‘‘alley-dwellers.”’ (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Why Lead Is Used For Binding the Pieces Together. In the making of art glass win- dows one of the most important things is the lead used for binding the different sized pieces of glass together. If two pieces of glass of | different color or tint are placed side by side and viewed from the dark, the light passing through the glass into the spectator’s eyes, the effect will be very unsatisfactory. Like magic this changes when a strip of lead is laid between the two pieces, each being luminous with its own individual color, yet blending beautifully with its neighbor. It is customary for the art glass painter to make colored sketches for windows, drawn to one-half or one inch scale. After these sketches have been accepted as satisfactory, if it is for a figure window, he makes a full size cartoon on paper in crayon, showing all lights and shadows as well as the outlines Early Italian painters used smooth whitewashed boards for this pur- pose, but now it is done on so called cogehell surfsee paper. e full sized drawing is laid on a thin and a heavy sheet of detail per. Between the design and mid- ae ss well as the lower paper, there are thin sheets of blackened peper. All these are fastened to the drawing table with thumb tacks. Then all the lines are run over with | s finely pointed ivory pencil. When done the drawing appesrs on the thin as well as on the thick paper, | the former being the working draw- ing for the leader, while the latter is cut up by = cutter for his | patterns to cut the glass to correct size and shape. If the paper were cut with an ordinary knife or scis- | sors the gisss with the lead would work out too large. To allow room for the lead a two bladed knife, with _the blades set nearly one-eighth of an inch (the thickness of the core or heart of the lead) was formerly eve used, but the cutting is now done with three bladed scissors. When the various kinds of glass have been cut the pieces are set to- | er with came or glszier’s lead. se are strands of lead with a) groove on either side. The artisan | who sets the pieces of glass together does this on the outline tracing or working drawing by first placing | SiTi0n. esch piece in its proper He nails a straight edge along the | of his work table nearest him, | laces a strand ; along which he or border lead, pressing the glass |, into the groeve of the same and | ing the glass temporarily in|, with wire nails tacked into the | bl e. These he draws out when ing the inside lead and tacks | them alongside the next piece of | giass, and so on to the finish. When the entire psnel is thus leaded together the joints sre sol- dered first on one side. Then the penel is turned, and the other side ts treated in the same Wsr. the cementers tske the light in and rub in the cement (thin patty) with brushes and clean it of with sawdust, which is also manipulated with brushes, but these tt a ae Meal meen | Addressing the State Teachers’ Asso- Next}, a BLOW TO WHITE SUPREMACY. ciation the South Carolina Senater Asserts That Should a Compulsory Educational Law be Passed it Would Mean the Education of the Negro Which Would be a Blow to White Supremacy. _ Columbia, S.

The houses on the island were badly damaged and the populace fled to the streets in panic, but no one was hurt. The weather is intensely cold on Stromboli Island. Catania, Jan. 3.—The system cf rescue work in Messina has been greatly augmented by the arrival of troops, who are to be seen all over the ruined city in squads of twenty and thirty pat- rolling day and night. Bodies of them also are working in the ruins by day and until well into the night. The movement ofrefugees from the villages is daiiy increasing in volume. Of the victims buried under the ruins few bave been rescued alive. It is now clear that the enor- mous number of casualties in Messina was due to the sudden- ness with which the first shock came, giving but little time to the people to escape from their homes. The tidal wave was not so high as was at first reported, and would have done little dam- age had it not been preceded by the earthquake. The damage done by fire was comparatively insignificant. The first earth shock last Mon- day morning literally threw down the city and almost every street was completely buried un- der the walls thav had fallen, furniture and other debris, prac- tically cutting off every avenue ofescape. Then came the tidal wave to iaundate the city, and the living and dylng were caught like rats and drowned or had their brains dashed out by being thrown by the rushing waters against piles of masonry and rubbish.

He was stricken with scarlet fever about one month ago, and it was thought he had recovered, when he had a relapse, which proved fatal. THe was only five years of age, and was an exceptionally bright child. His friends were not only numbered among his children playmates, but also among the older people, who were attracted by his brightness and loving ways. He was the joy of his parents’ household, and the loss is indeed heavy on them, as he was their only child. He was a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Connelly of this city.

Adams is Ap- pointed to Succeed Judge Pur- nell, Democrats in the Senate Will Fight Against Confirma- tion—Two Non-Political Rea- Sons Why His App%ntment Should not be Made—95 Per Cent of State Are Said to bé Against Him for Judge. Washington, Jan. 2.—President Roosevelt has been told, I am ine formed, that if he appoints Judge Spencer B Adams to succeed the late Judge Thomas B. Purnell his confirmation will be held up in the senate. I believe that my infor- mation is accurate. ‘“‘Tf you will take the trouble to investigate,’ writes a leading Democratic lawyer, east of Ral- eigh, ‘‘you will find that 95 per ecnt of the bar of the state would be opposed to the appointment of Judge Adams on two entirely non- political grounds; first, a lack of respect for his legal attainments, and, second, lack of faith in his judicial fitness.”’ Continuing the writer says: ‘‘If Adams should be named I should regard it the imperative duty of our senators to fight his confirma- tion to the very last. In saying this I am, I think, voicing the sen- tinent of the disinterested: lawyers of the state.’ here is a man who has @ say in shaping the politics of his party: and is considered ene of the very ablest attorneys in the eastern sec” tion of the state. Another Democratic lawyer, who resides in the eastern district district, declares: ‘‘Adams ought not to be appointed judge, and the lawyers know it. I believe many of them would urge Overman and Simmons to fight the appointment. “Judge Adams is not the kind of man we would like to have for a judge. He is a bitter partisan and has been so all of his political life. tioner and knows little about the practice of the courts.”’ He has not been a busy prac- <‘T would like tor the best feel- ing to obtain between the people and the Federal courts» but this eannot be when judges are au- pointed when they could not get the support of 5 per cent of the disinterested bar of the state,’’ writes a third. a There is no doubt that the ap- pointment of Adams would raise a storm in the east, and it is abso- lutely certain now that Senator Simmons and Overman would be asked t° fight his confirmation. It is no secret that Judge Adams’ ancient and persistent foe, former Senator Marion Butler, with all the influence he can bring to bear, will n° let him become judge if he can prevent it.—H. F- C.

This is a silent commentary upon contra band dealings in this town.”’ The above from the Durham Sun shows what will happen in many towns of the state if officers are not on the lookout for trans gressors of the law. Statesville was osce in neariy as bad shape as Durham is, with the exception of so many killings, which we did not have. But by the efforts of the offi- eem of the city> there is now prac- tically not a drop of whiskey sold in the city. After this new prohibition law has taken effect: the mayor and other officers of the city say they are determined that the blockade and blind tiger business shall be watched more closely than ever, and all violators of this law shall be dealt with to the full limit of the law. If the Durham officers would make an effort as the State«ville officers do, they might check to a a degree the lawlessness there. ——— WANTS A MATE. The Greessboro Industrial News of yesterday» contained the follow” ing which was-sent them from the “‘wild and wooly west,,’’ to which we call the attention of all the old maids and womes folks, who were unsuccessful during leap year to land a mate.

And he did not leave out the widow either, but from the make up of the letter, it is possible to see that the maid is preferable. — Sees Mother Grow Young. ~ “It would. be hard to averstate_the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters,’? writes Mrsc.

Durham, Dec. 31.—The city health officer, Dr. T. A. Mann., has prepared his annual report to be submitted at the next regular meeting of the al- dermen. This report shows the num- ber of deaths and births for the year, the death rate, the average ages, causes and other things of tht char- acter. The health officer has not made public all his report. The re- port will show, howeyer, that there were 493 births in Durham last year, and that there ere 411 deaths, the births being eighty-two more than the deaths. There will be another hard fight made to establish a tuber- culosis dispensary in Durham, this to be maintained jointly by the city and the county. The city has already said that it was willing to pay $600 per year, but the county commission- ers were not certain as to the right to vote out this money. The matter will be takén up and presented again. Dr. Mann says that-tuberculosis is no worse here than elsewhere, but that in his opinion all towns, cities and counties should get together and try to stamp out the disease. He wants Durham to do her part anyway. For that reason, the interest here. Next week there will be a state meet- ing of the antituberculosis associa- tion of North Carolina to be held in Charlotte. There will be present a large number of fighters of consump- tion who reside in this state. It will be the first state meeting. ——_2<+-————— Life 100,000 Years Ago.

The Enquirer knows of one York township farmer, who, eleven years ago bought a run down farm of over 200 acres on credit and since that time has paid for the place, built a handsome residence, large barn: and ‘stables, tenant houses, etc., bought nearly enough additional land to make a total of 300 acres, and the first of January didn’t owe a dollar and had $1,000 cash in bank. He did it all by hard work, sticking to business, raising his home supplies and making cotton asurpluscrop. A year ago he refused $50 an acre for his plantation. That is going some. We know of another who bought 110 acres of Bethel township land in 1901 at about 315 an acre, who made five and a half bales of cotton the first year; who made several bales of cot- ton and 700 bushels of corn this year, who has long since paid for his land and who recently refused $35 an acre for it. —_———_—_3<+ > —__—— Tortured on a Horse. “For ¢t.n years I couldn’t ride a horse w..nout being in torture from piles,” writes L.

EXECUTING MAZEPPA. Peter the Great’s Odd Way of Punish- ing a Deserter. Peter the Great, czar of Russia, pun- ished a traitor on a notable occasion in : a way that the numerous victims of o the present czar’s wrath might well Wish were still in vogue. Mazeppa, chieftain of the Cossacks, had deserted to the king of Sweden, with whom Peter was at war. Ma- zeppa was at once tried by court mar- tal and found guilty of high treason. Sentence of death was passed upon him. Mazeppa, however, was safely in the and the A ee — fact was not permitted to stand in the way of the carrying out of every part of the sentence. A wooden effigy of Mazeppa was made, and the punish- meuts were inflicted upon the Cossack chieftain’s substitute. The effigy was first dressed in Ma- zeppa’s uniform, and upon its breast Were pinned all of the medals, ribbons and other decorations that the real cul- prit had worn. While the commanding general and & squadron of cavalry stood near an officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another oiicer wrenched off the effigy’s patent of knighthood and his other decora- tions, tore them up and trampled upon them. This done, he struck the wood- en geutleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking him over. Next a hangman appeared. While the Soldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa’s head and drag- sed the effigy to a nearby gallows, Where it was “hanged by the neck until it was dead.”—Scrap Book.

It Sheds Some Side Lights Upon Life and Morals. For a few dazzling side lights upon life and morals apply to the storage warehouse. You can find almost any- thing there from baby alligators to blocks of ice cream and from Teddy bears to sauerkraut. So you won’t be amazed at what the institution has most recently divulged. Here you have the story: Mrs. Q. repaired to the storage ware- house to extract her soup spoons, though it may have been aunts or un- cles or popcorn or guinea pigs. At any rate, her property declined to come ont. It had been tucked in by Mr. Q. Oxtly Mr. Q. might tempt it forth. Mrs. Q. protested. She wanted her eatnip or theology or safety razor, or whatever it was, and made representations with great emphasis. She moved upon the management. She stormed and wept. After long wrangling the warehouse decided it would yield up the college ice—or was it the piano?—if Mrs. Q. would swear she was still married to Mr. Q. and would send him a written statement (he was in Quebec, and I lost track of him owing to bewilder- ment produced by merely thinking of a storage warehouse) end make him re- turn the statement, countersigned, to the management. This, then, is how Mrs. G. regained possession of her golf links or prayer book or sugar tongs. Well, say it was sugar tongs, though golf links would be likelier. Pressed for an explanation, the ware- house remarked: “Have to be careful, you know—divorces, separations, af- finities, you know. Minute such things start up there’s a race to the storage place. Game is for each to snatch out everything first. Becomes embarrass- ing!’—Boston Transcript. MIXED THE SIGNS. Sarasate and the Sandwich Men In Edinburgh. To advertise Sarasate’s performances in Edinburgh eight sandwich men were sent out, each of whom bore in front and behind him one letter of the great musician’s name. They started all right, but after a time removed the boards from their shoulders to have a rest. On resuming their Jabors each man shouldered the board nearest him and fell in behind the man who had for- merly marched before him. When the leader, who bore the initiai “Ss, turned around to see if his men were ready, what he saw was “Sata- resa.” He knew enough to realize that something was wrong, but how to right it was more than he could tell. After changing a man here and there he got it “Starasea.’’ But still it didn’t seem correct. By this time the poor fellow was in a terrible state. If any of their em- ployers’ people were on the outlook and could see them, their day’s wage would be stopped! He tried again and yet again, but it was no use. And a moment later a man bearing the letter “S” before and behind was seen running toward the music hall to copy down the name from one of the posters there. And dlong the right side of Princeton street there walked toward the appointed rendezvous at the Mound three men who bore the strange device “A A E,” while opposite them there paced along the left side gutter four others, who, if to advertise means to attract attention, succeeded well, for every one who passed looked around in wondering amazement as to what “Rats” meant.—Edinburgh Dis- patch. Too Much For the Ferret. An old buck rabbit is not to be light- ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even ferret. On the sanded floor of a small public house a ferret of long experi- ence was matched with an old lop eared buck, the property of the land- lord. The ferret made straight for the rabbit’s throat, but the latter was in the air before master ferret could reach him and, leaping clean over the ferret’s head, let out with those power- ful hind legs of his a kick which hurled the ferret bodily against the wainscot. Twice the ferret returned to the attack, and twice he missed his grip and went hurtling through the air. The third repulse was enough for him. He knew he was beaten and could not be persuaded to stand up for a fourth round.—Pearson’s Weekly. Brilliant Fish Hues. Like birds, many fishes assume their brightest hue when they wisb to at- tract the opposite sex of their species. The colors of the male common pike become exceedingly intense, brilliant and iridescent in the breeding season. The eel also puts on an intense silvery hue at the breeding time which is very noticeable and at one time caused nat- uralists to distinguish it as a distinct species. The males of the tench, roach and perch also show a marked increase in brillianey in the breeding season.

ABOUT ADVERTISING—NO. 2 The Dollar Be Spent : By Herbert Kaufman Every dollar spent in advertising is not only a seed dollar which grows a profit for the merchant but is actually retained by him even after he has paid tt to the publisher. Advertising creates a good will worth the cost of the publicity. It actually costs nothing. funds it does not use them up. founder of a business to grow rich and at the same time keefs his business from not dying when he does. It eliminates the personal equation. petuates confidence iz possible for a merchant to withdraw from busi- ness without having the profts of the business withdrawn from him. an institution—an institution that will survive after the death of its builder. It is really an insurance policy which costs nothing—pays a premium each year instead of calling for one, and renders it possible to change the entire personnel of a business without disturbing its prosperity. Advertising renders the business stronger than the man—independent of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandising, the track of which is left for others to follow. A business which rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and personality in business is a decreasing factor. The public does not want to know the man who owns the store—it isn’t interested in Aim, but in his goods. When an unadvertised business is sold it is only worth goods and fixtures. with his inaction as it to provide for the continuance of its income to his family.

Lee Dillard, white, who is im jail here for skipping a board bill | a@t Mooresville, today made a) confession to Sheriff Deaton in | which itis discovered that he is| @ deserter from the United States | Army. Sheriff Deaton found out where | Dillard came from, and wrote! there asking about hin. The reply stated that he was formerly in the United States Army in Virginia. This morning Mr. Deaton went to Dillard in his cell in the jail, and asked him which he would rather do, go back to the army or stay here and be prosecuted in the court. Dillard replied that he would rather go back to the army. He seemed surprised that Mr. Dea- ton should knowanything about his army life. Mr. Deaton told him that he knew all about it, whereupon, with a little insisting, he told Mr. Deaton all about it. He said that he had enlisted at Cairo, Ill., on January 28, 1908, and was put in Battery D., Third Regiment, and located at Fort Myer, Va., from where he escaped on June 10, 1908, coming to this State. Mr. Deaton has been informed that there is a reward of $50 for Dillard from the army officials. Mr. Deaton has notified the Officials by telegram but has not yet heard from them. ——~+e->—__ If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre vent constipation.

LIBRARY SLOW POKES. Time Killing Methods of Of: Continental Sunope- “Americans who grumble about har- ing to wait a long time for books when applying to a public library,” said a Boston literary woman, “should try to work or study in a foreign library, par- ticularly in Germanr. “The typical continental lMbrarian takes no account of time. The reader, worker or student must turn in his or her application for books at least a day in advance. The men who search for the books applied for are aged, totter- ing creatures who have been shuffling around the dusty piles of books for years, and the word hurry is not in their vocabulary. “The most priceless books and man- uscripts are kept in places which are perfect fire traps, and disorder pre- dominates in every department. When you speak about the impossible meth- ods employed the librarians tell you that they are too poor to introduce any modern indexes or catalogues. This is to some extent so, but as a matter of fact they would not change if they had all the money in the world at their disposal. “They do not wish to encourage the common people to use books. The learned are among the aristocracy, and the spread of the knowledge which is hidden in those wonderful literary mu- seums is far from the purpose of the men at the head of Europe’s libraries. “There may be some delay in our li- braries, but our people in the lower walks of life are certainly ahead of the common people of the old world in the matter of getting books when they Want them, and generally free of charge.”—New York Telegram. icials In The Town to Be Born In. In the German town of Klingenberg, near Aschaffenberg, Bavaria, in addi- tion to having no rates to pay for the upkeep of the town, those actually born in the parish receive from the municipality a sum of £12 15s. a year. This sum, if invested regularly at, say, 3 per cent, would entitle the owner to reeive about £1,500 at the age of sixty —a very handsome old age pension. Were it not necessary that the inhab- itants should prove birth in the parish before becoming entitled to this pay- ment the popularity of Klingenberg as a place of residence would doubtless be enormous.—Westminster Gazette.

Press state have have been talking of an asbestos mine about to be opened near Stony Point, by one Chas. Lambert, of Philad@Iphia. There is a supply of asbestos at that place, but whether Lambert will do all he says he will is the question in doubt. Lambert is a journeyman printer and was at this office, where he worked for three or four days, and from his appearance, we do not judge that he could be a very large power In operating the mine. Why is it that nothing was said about the ‘matter until he got away from Statesville? The man who owns the land on which the ‘supply of asbestos is found, has no eonfidence in the man, and says he does not believe he willgefany company organiz ed, as he said he would.

Of course like all other business men: dio, on the first, “Mr. Fry came around collecting bills and pre- sented the bill to Mr. Goldman, for mending a pair of shoes. | Mr. Goldman informed Mr. Fry that there was some mistake and told him that he did not owe the bill, as he had not had any shoes mended.

The stockholders of the Long Island Cotton Mill held a meeting in their office in this city yester- day morning. Some time ago a _ subseription Wag raised to get an increase of stock of $150,000 to build a pow- er plant on the Ireedll side of the Catawba river, at Buffalo shoals. At the meeting yesterday the subseribers were released from their liability in this matter, and the original capital of $50,000 was reverted to. The stockhold- ers and officers remain the same with Geo. H. Brown, secretary and treasurer and Osborne Brown president and superintendent. The stockholders of the Mer- chants and Farmers bank met yesterday afternoon and re-elected the old officers and board of direc- tors as follows: L. T. Stimpson, president;; C. S. Tomlin, vice president ; F. B. Bunch, secretary and treasurer; J. A. Knox, assist- ant secretary and treasurer. The board of directors are as follows: L. T. Stimpson, J. L. Stevenson, C. S Tomlin, R. R. Reid, J. A. Knox, W. S. Page, Geo. B. Nicholson, L. K. Lazenby, E. G. Gaither, J. R. Hill and E. B. Watts.

Bunch and Knox during that time. Better Streets. Statesvile is the best town in the stat? 2m some respects, while in others it is not. Now we want it to be the best in all respects, so why not start it right away with the new vear. The worst needed thing in the city is good streets. Every one who walks knows that the side walks are simply impassible in some places on account of the mud. Take South Center street for in- stanee, just at the depot, where the carriage stand it situated. A stranger getting off a train, and starting over to the city may not want to spend that quarter for riding over in a ¢cariage. The first thing he hits when he starts to the city is black mud nearly ankle deep. Now that is is a bad impression made on his mind on the start. Coming on towards the city he is in a continual slip and slide in the mud on the sidewalk, and by the time he reaches the city he hag it laid up for them. But when he gets iver in the business part of the city, he for- gets it all in his surprise at seeing nice buildings we have. But still, this is neither here nor there but all over the city, for all the stréets are in the same fix. Why not issue bonds and make the improvements. All other pro- sressive cities in the state are do- ing it, and why not Statesville. Some argue that they want to pay as they go, but the other cities do not pay for their good streets as they go. Let us hear from some one on this subject, for there is all the space you want in this paper to discuss the matter. een 4a MooreSville Items.

Washington, Jan. 4.—‘‘We de mand that you appoint a good lawyer, one that the bar of the State will respect, said Senator Overman to President Roose- velt to-day, when asked con- cerning the eastern Carolina judgeship. Mr. Overman went to the White House to ask the President to withdraw the nomination of J. M. Burroughs as postmaster at Ashboro, and was interrogated concerning the three applicants for the vacant judgeship. ‘“‘Would you appoint a Democrat?” asked Mr. Over- man, laughing. The President said that he would not unless ne could not find a fit Republican. “Well, it is none of our fight, Mr. President. But you must name a man who can fill the place creditably. He should be a first class lawyei.” National Committeeman E. C. Duncan is having the hardest fight of his life to land his man Judge Spencer B. Adams, and it ooks now as if he would not suc- ceed. The President, I am toli, has declared repeatedly that he would not go out of the district for a man if he could get one in it. Messrs. Duncan, Charles H. Cowles, J. Elwood Cox, A. H. Price and Samuel G. Bradshaw, ealled on the President in behalf of Mr. Adams today. Thos Settle, of Asheville, is here, and many of his friends are urging Mr. Roosevelt to name him if he goes to the Western district fora Republican. It is urged that no outcry would be made by the bar if he were appointed. The President promised Mr. Overman to withdraw Bur- roughs’ appointment. I was told today that Mr. Duncan had taken a hand in the controversy over the post- office site at Lexington. It is al leged that he has joined the McRarys against the Walsers.— H. E. C.

Money is the main thing; it is the hard cash that counts. The rising gencra- tion seems to ‘be hopelessly out of tune with the teachings of the New Testament; and it is even said in some of the more thought- ful periodicals that prosperity is to ‘be looked for where there is ma- terial prosperity, and the person who ‘asserts to the contrary has the bible knocked out of his hands by a misinterpretation of Butler’s Anology. So let it be for the present. In spite of the attractions of the greed for gain, it may be said tha the people of the South are reading more books than ever be- fore, and every book read, wheth- er-it be good, or indifferently bad, it is a victory over the financial pomp of the age. "There was a time when the prosperous class in this'section were the greatest read ers, and before the war some of the best and completest private libraries were to be found in the homes of the planters. ; But war is a great disturber of taste as wéll as a destroyer of for- tunes. Many of these private li- braries ‘went up in smoke from fires kindled by General Tecum- sch Sherman and most of the oth- ers-were dispersed ; and for a time —a good many years in fact—the Southern people have not been noted as great readers—or, to put the matter in a different and tru- er shape, they have not been greedy buyens of books. We have been told in the past by. more than one publisher that the poorest book market in the country was to be found in the South and even now some think it a practical waste of money to advertise their books in the south. But there has recently been a change -so far as this section is concerned. The book-sellers in- sist that, therefore, they must be reading‘ more. am. sore... - There ig a greater demand for books’ of the hour as well as a re- newed interest in the volumes that have stood the test of time. Now, ment, and it sands for a more sub- stantial form of progress than that represented by the industrial ex-! pansion over which so much un- necessary noise is made. That this statement is true only a mom- ent» reflection will suffice to show. The fact that the book market in the South is widening and ex- panding is a sign of intellectual progress. In a smaller degree it stands for rpiritual progress, and calls for more rejoicing than an increase in the number of cotton spindles in this section. which cf ten represent the number of traps set to catch and smother the in- tellectual activities of thousands of children, who are at least as im- portant to the state as the amount of capital invested in the cotton mills. This is progress in he best and highest sense, for the reason that it will inevitably lead to a keener ‘appreciation of the finer isues of life. Some of the+rdoks for which there is a demand may be indif- ferently bad, but no matter; even an indifferently bad book contains some good, and human mind will instinctively assimilate the good. There is no more hopeful sign than that of an increased demand f-- books among the people ot yunis section— Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus’s—The Home Magazine for January. ——__++2>-e—___ Life 100,000 Years Ago. Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in constant danger from wild beasts. To- day the danger, as shown by A. W.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 4.—The Tennessee legislature meets this year with every indication that the fight for statewide prohibition will be the chief issue of the sez} sion. Both sides have lined up for the fray and the struggle un- doubtedly will be bitter one. Though large sections of the state are now “‘dry”’ the prohibi- tion element declares that it will not rest until Tennessee has join- ed the ranks of Georgia, Mississ- ippi, North Carolina and other states in prohibition of the liquor traffic entirely. The Pendleton law now on the statue books gives local option to cities of less than 100,000 inhabi- tants. The four-mile law is prac- tically prohibitive in operated ter- ritory. The Democratic party platform pledges the party to “take no backward steps” in li- quor organization, but to extend and apply those laws to all por- tions of the State not now em: braced in their operation when-: ever the people of the communi- ties to be affected thereby give their consent.

It is really an insurance policy which costs nothing—pays a premium each year instead of calling for one, and renders it possible to change the entire personnel of a business without disturbing its prosperity. Advertising renders the business stronger than the man—independent of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandising, the track of which is left for others to follow. A business which is not advertised must rely upon the fersonality of its proprietor, and personality in business is a decreasing factor.

When an unadvertised business is sold it is only worth goods and fixtures. as much as its stock of There is no good will to be paid for—it does not exist—it has not been created. The name over the door means noth- ing except to the limited stream of people from the immediate neighborhood, any of whom could tell you mare about some store ten miles away which has regularly delivered its shop news to their breakfast tables.

France ran up the hospital steps and offered to allow tha doctors to remove two square inches of cuticle from his body. It was too soon to begin graft- ing, and France left word to notify him, when the skin is needed. “I’m a busy man,” he said, “but for humanity’s sake I will gladly give someofmy cuticle. No one man can stand the mutila- tion attendant upon the re- moval of several square inches of skin, but I am ready to give two inches. 1 am sure there are plenty of others who will make @ similar sacrifice.

The population of Washington is made up of residents ofso many States and so many per- suns who go to thier home State to vote, that the suffrage ques- tion would be head to handle be- lieve the Congressmen. The government clerk and em- ployes of the District comprise nearly two-thirds of the voting population, and ifa question of Suffrage were brought up, it would be necessary to offset the negrovote, or the whites and blacks would be nearly equally divided. For that reason many members of the House oppose any movement to give suffrage to the people. They say it would be next to impossible to eradicate the negra vote. ————-+ <4 M. E. C. Sloan Dead.

Cline arranged for the services of an officiating minister and told some of his friends ofthe approaching event. Dur- ing the day telegraphic in- quiries revealed the fact that Cline has a living wife near Statesboro, Ga., and the regis- ter of deeds immmediately de- manded the return of the li- cense. Cline at first refused, but upon being shown the message from Statesboro he agreed to surrender the document. Pend- ing the investigation Ragister Thomas notified all the minis- ‘ters in town that the license should not be honored. Dr. Cline first came to Wades- boro last August. He opened an office as a veteripary surgeon and for & little while cut a wide swath. He visited ana entert-in- ed some young ladies and acted asan unmarried man in every respect. One day Sheriff Martin received warrants for the arrest of Cline, or Clino, as he was called in Statesboro, Ga., and these warrants charged offenses. Cline was arrested and locked ap several days, but wuen Geor- gia officers did not come after him he was released. Later a telegram from Gov- ernor Glenn directed the sheriff to re-arrest him, and next day the sheriff from Statesboro ar- rived to take Cline back. In the meantime Cline had employed attorneys and a fight for free- dom was begun. A tight trip to Rockingham was made and Judge Long, who was holding the session of Superior Court, was appealed to for a writ of habeas corpus. The hearing for the writ cameup the following week and the judge dismissed the proceeding and ordered Cline delivered to the Georgia authorities. An appeal was. immediately taken tothe Supreme Court and Cline was remanded to jail. The night before his hearing, how ever, Cline was not satisfied with conditions and made a desper- ate effort tc escape, and was prevented only by the careful oversight of Deputy Sheriff Pearl Martin.

YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD After Being Carried to Hospital He Regains ConsciousneSs and Says he Was Asfaulted by Luke Moore, Another Young Man of Cumberland—Ad Tin- dall in Bad Condition. Fayetteville, N. C., Jan. 5.— Ad Tindall, a young white man, of this county, was found lying by the road about three miles south of Fayetteville yesterday with his head split open. After he had been carried toa hospital in this city and regain- ed power of speech, Tindall declared that he had been as- saulted by Luke Moore, a young man living near Fayetteville, with whom he became involved in a drunken quarrel while out hunting when Moore clubbed bim with his gun and felled his companion. The assailant has not yet been taken but probably will be later. —_———_++@r- An Unusual Affair. Last week while in Stanley county W. C. Moore of this city visited the grave yard at Love’s Grove Methodist church about 15 miles from Albemarle. While wandering around in the grave- yard Mr. Moore noticed a lot in which there was tw\lve graves. Mr. Moore examined the tab- lets and found that there was a mother, ant eleven ehitdren bu- The mother was Mrs. Milinda L. Furr, wife of Mr. W. M. M. Farr of that county. She is a sister of Ex-Sheriff J. D. Love of Stanley county. She was born on September 12, 1867 and died March 1, 1904, The children are as follows: James, born January 6, 1884, died March 15, 1884. William,’ born July 6, died when born. Adam, born July 28, 1886, died August 30, 1886. Henry, born October 15, 1887, died, August 18, 1888. Eva, born April 11, 1889, died April 29, 1889.

Furr is now living, and is only about a middle aged man- and he_has one little girl living. The strange part about the dead children is that not a single one of them lived to be over 13 months old. In a space of about 17 years these eleven children were all born and died. Another strange thing is that two of théir _ birh- days were on the same day of the month, April 11th, but two years difference in the age, one being born in 1889 and the other in 1891. a —— Aged Woman Strick®n, Miss Melinda Stikeleather, an aged lady of Loray; suffered a stroke of paralysis five weeks ago tomorrow,, and is not expected to live. Miss Stikeleather is 80 years old, and the stroke was 1885, very severe on her. — For Murder-of Farmer Brown. FARMER TENANT ARRESTED Charged by Coroner’s Jury With the Murder Sunday .Night of Mr, J. C. Brown, a Prominent - Farmer of JohnSon County, A. Batten, a White Man, is’ Arrest- €d and Lodged in Jail. Selma, N. C., Jan. 5.—A Bat- ten, a former tenant on the farm of the late Mr. Charlie Brown, was arrested and lodged in jail this morning, charged with the murder of Brown, after the coroner’s jury had rendered a verdict that J.C. Brown came to his death by a gun-shot fired by A. Batten. Itis said Batten and Brown had a misunderstanding about the division of the crop last year and Batten had been dis- charged by the latter. The ar- rest was made at the home of Batten by Deputy Sheriff San- ders. The evidence adduced at the coroner’s investigation, as we learn, is that A. Batten went to his brother’s home, near Brown’s to spend the night, and took his shot-gun with him. After supper he left the house alone. and. re- turned about 8 o’clock, during which time Brown was shot by some one.. Batten maintains that he is innocent of the crime. —— A ONE OF PROHIBITIONS FOES | Atlanta’s Recorder Urges That Sale of Beverages be Further Restricted. Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 4.—That Atlanta’s near-bear saloons sell decidedly intoxicating drinks, is the substance of the annual re- port today of City Recorder Broyles. “The most serious obstaclo,”’ he says, ‘‘to temperance general- ly in Atlanta is the so called near beer saloon. Many of these places dispense regular lager beer to their customers whom they can trust. He recommends that the legis- lature amend the law by making it unlawful to sell any beverage containing more than one-half of one percent of alcohol. —— et It can be stated with entire as- surance that the Legisloture of 1909 will bein session sixty days, . the time allotted by theState as that during which the pay of the members may continue.

The attempt to assassinate the attorney-general of Tennessee furnishes another exhibition of the desperation and cowardice of the Night Riders of that state. The attorney-general has been very ac- tive in prosecuting the men charg- ed with lynching a prominent law- yer of Tennessee. It is to be hop ed that the courts will deal sternly with the desperadoes now on trial in the event that their guilt is es- tablished. The governor of Ten- nessee has manifested a laudable disposition to put an end to the lawlessness of certain elements among the mountaineers of the state. He should not cease from his efforts to maintain law and or- der until the work has been done thoroughly. And what the Ten- nessee Executive is trying to ac- complish in the repression of crime and the bringing of criminals into courts of justice should be done by the governor of every other Southern State in which Night Rider and ‘‘feudists’’ asd other lawless elements make a mockery of law and eivilization. The South, in checking these forms of lawlessness and protecting thi lives and property of its citizens, will discharge not only an imper- ative obligation of civilization. but will promote also its own ma- terial interests. Every Southern state, therefore, should use its re- sources to the limit to put an end to intimidation, murder and ineen- diarism by Night Riders. or other organized bands of desperadoes. The ‘‘féudists’? and should be punished according to their deserts. Then there will be an end of conditions which have long brought discredit upon states where the great majority of citi- zens are law-abiding, but wher certain types of lawbreakers seem to be able to defy the law with im- punity. An incident of the trial of Night Riders at Union City: Tenn., illus- trates the difficulties encountered by the prosecution in securing evi- dence in court against the de- fendants. At the same time it de- monstrated how an accusing ¢on- science promptcd a woman. the wife of one of the Night Riders, to coniess that she had given false testimony with the object of shielding her husband: Incidents of this unusual kind oceur fre- quently in melodrama, but are rare in the everyday life of the world. We see the triumph of justice in Baltimore theatres and we applaud the righting of wrongs and the diseomfiture of the wicked.

With poiitical uncertain- ty removed by the national elec- tion business men see little to fear and much to hope for in the pros- pect of legislation. Some leading Chicago houses state that the purchasing power of the farming class has increased so greatly that it more than com- pensates for the loss of purchasing power by the manufacturing class. That there has been a gradual but certain improvement in busi- ness generally in the last six months of the year is generally agreed in the business world. The national election of November dis- appointed enthusiasts who expect- ed an immediatel resumption of unparalleled activeity that exist- ed in the first. six or eight months of 1907. But to the more sober minds among leaders of industry a boom period is desirable. “I do not look for any marked increase in business immediately following January 1 next,’’ said Ernest A. Hill, president of the Corn Exchange National Bank. ‘‘Our crops have been good and are bringing good prices. Upon them. of course. rests the contin- neq prosperity of our country. Our farmers have enjoyed abund-| ant crops for several years and are in excellent financial condition. indeed, you might now say. that they are the bankers of the coun- try. for they have money to loan. ““Under the conditions I have mentioned T do not ‘see how we can fail to have a continued im- provemen*’ ia all lines of business durinz th: coming year but such improvement must come gradual- ly, ar will, therefore, be of a mcre healthy character.’’—Chica-|] go Dispatch. —~++@>—__ WHY SUFFER? __— Breathe Hyomei and Kill the Loathsome Catarrh Germs, Just as long as you have eatarrh your nose will itch, your breatb will be foul, and you hawk and spit, and you will do other dis- gusting things because you ¢an’t help yourself.

ABOUT ADVERTISING—NO. 2 The Dollar That Can’t Be Spent By Herbert Kaufman Every dollar spent in advertising is not only a seed dollar which grows a profit for the merchant but is actually retained by him even after he has paid it to the publisher. Advertising creates 2 good will worth the cost of the publicity. It actually costs nothing. While i uses funds it does not use them up. It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and at the same time keeps his business from not dying when he does. Te It eliminates the personal equation. Itper- petuates confidence i the store and makes it possible for a merchant to withdraw trom busi- ness without having the profits of the business withdrawn from him. Ht changes a “ame to an institution—an institution that will survive after the death of its builder. It is really an insurance policy which costs nothing—pays a premium each year instead of change the entire personnel of a business without disturbing its prosperity. Advertising renders the business stronget than the man—independent of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandising, the track of which is left for others to follow. A business which is not advertised must rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and personality in business is a decreasing factor. The public does not want to know the man who owns the store—it isn’t interested in him, but in his goods. When an unadvertised business goods and fixtures. There is no good will to be-paid for—it does not exist—it has not been created. The name over the door means noth- ing except to the limited stream of people from the immediate neighborhood, any of whom could tell you more about some store ten miles away which has regularly delivered its shop news to their breakfast tables. It is as shortsighted for a man to build a business which dies with his death.or ceases to provide for the continuance of its income to his family. s : (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company; Ckicago.)

OR E PS I RE N E E es BU oe s te e s Wi l e nn n oe oe FREDERICK AND VOLTAIRE. Stormy Relations of the Miserly King and the Lavish Author. The world knows plenty about the elements of strength in the characters of great men, but less about their weaknesses. Here is a story that shows the other side of the natures of Frederick the Great and Voltaire: Frederick the Great had a leaning toward literature. He wrote poems, plays and booklets that, in his opin- ion, possessed rare merit. So it seemed fitting to him that great liter- ary men should fraternize, and he sent an invitation to Voltaire to be his guest. Accompanying the invitation was a sum of money to defray the great Frenchman's traveling expenses to the Prussian capital. Let it be explained at this point that Frederick was extremely penurious and that Voltaire was not only ex- travagant, but had many of the char- acteristics of what we would now call a@ grafter. It should also be under- stood that Frederick despised graft- ing, and Voltaire abhorred miserli- ness. Voltaire accepted the invitation—and then had an afterthought. Why not take a favorite niece with him? So he wrote to the king that if he would send an extra thousand louis he would bring the girl. “Sir,” replied the king, “I did not ask the young lady to do me the honor of visiting me, and I shall send noth- ing to pay her expenses.” “The old miser!” said Voltaire to a friend. “He has tubs of money in his treasury, yet will not grant me this wish.” However, Voltaire went to Berlin, but each found that he hated the other too much to make their friendship perma- nent. % The king once gave Voltaire a pack- age of poems to revise. “See,” said Voltaire to a German no- bleman, “what a quantity of dirty linen Frederick has sent me to wash!” The king thought his guest was too free with the chocolate and sugar and gave orders that he be put on a re- stricted daily allowance. Voltaire retaliated by gathering all the wax candles he could find in the halls and storing them in his trunk. Soon the royal palace became too hot for him, and he began to pack up. Then Frederick missed his package of poems. At once he scented a plot. Vol- taire intended to take the verses back home with him and palm them off as his own. Lord Macaulay has said that the poems were so bad that he w as convinced Voltaire would not gor half of Frederick’s kingdom have consent- ed to father them. But the king thought differently, being the author of the poems. So the Prussian monarch had Vol- taire thrown into jail at Frankfort and kept him locked up for twelve days. Sixteen hundred dollars that was found in his pocket was taken away from him. The king in the days of their friendship had given Voltaire a life pension of $3,200 a year, and the money that was confiscated was a semiannual installment, Thus ended their friendship.—Scrap Book. Spanish Nicknames. One of the peculiar ways in which Spanish differs from English is in the names the language gives to all peo- ple with a certain infirmity or peculiar- ity. <A blind man is referred~to as el clego, a man with but one eye is a tuerto, a pug nosed man is chato, one who is cross eyed is a bisojo, a cojo is a& lame man, and a manco has but one arm. If he is humpbacked, he is a jorobado; if baldheaded, a ealvo, and if his hair is very short he is a pelon. The feminine titles for the same classes are the same, with the exception that they end in “a” where the masculine terminate with “o.” These short names are used most commonly. In fact, they are applied as nicknames in many cases, and especially among the lower classes persons are addressed or re- ferred to only by these names. A Wedding Present. A widower in Scotland proposed to and was accepted by a widow whose husband had died but a month or two previously. To celebrate the occasion he asked the widow’s daughter what she would like for a present. She wanted noth- ing, she said, but being pressed to name something she replied: “Well, if you want to spend siller you might put up a heidstone to my father.”—London Telegraph. The Ruling Passion. f “John! John!” called the excited lit- tle wife. “W-what is it, Lucy?” muttered the big baseball player as he drowsily turned over in bed. “Why, there is a man downstairs.” “W-what’s he doing?” “He’s in the dining room after the plate.” “Trying to reach the plate? -Put him out, Kelly; put him out at thirar’— Kansas City Independent. Reproved. “I suppose,” said the sad eyed youth at the musical, “you know the differ- ence between bel canto and colora- tura?”’ “Young man,” answered Mr. Cumrox Severely, “I never bet on race horses.” ~—Washington Star. Practical. “Darling, I mean to prove my love for you not by words, but by deeds.” “Oh, George, did you bring the deeds with you?”—Baltimore American. Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds—all they have had, all they have now and all they expect to have. The Pole Star. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are known also as the triones and as the Greater Wain and the Lesser Wain. It ;is curious to note that the larger con- stellation was given the figure of the bear by the Arabs and by the Iroquois red men. Jhe assumed forms ure or- dinarily fanciful, and the identity of the names in this instance affords food for speculation. Homer uses both bear and wain (wagon) in his references to these stars. It is evident that the name bear was a translation from some original Aryan language, as the constellation is called in Sanskrit tiksha, a word that in different gen- ders means both a bear and a star. Of course the polar star in the tail of Ursa Minor is the constellation’s point of glory. In this case we may say fairly that the tail wags the dog, because the group of stars was once called the dog’s tail, or cynosure. From that we have our word cynosure, that toward which all eyes turn, as to the dog’s tail for sight of the pole star.—Minne- ! apolis Tribune. How Nora Coaxed the Tips. A group of women were standing in the corridor of a summer hotel when an aged scrubwoman started upstairs with a pail of water. Just then a bright faced, buxom Irisk chamber- maid came up. “This looks purty heavy for the likes of ye,” she said cheerily to the old woman. “Better let me help.” She took up the paid and whisked off upstairs with it. “How thoughtful of Nora!’ “Isn’t she kind?” and similar expressions rose to the lips of the women. The proprietor of the hotel and another man also witnessed the incident. “Clever girl, that Nora,” said the hotel man to his companion. “She’s always doing something like that when there are people looking on. She gets more tips than any two other girls in the house. She could afford to pay me for the privilege of working here. Every summer she makes enough to spend the winter in idleness at her old home in Ireland.”—New York Tribune. Oddities of Color Blindness. Color blindness, or the inability to distinguish certain eolors, is by no means rare. Incomplete color blindness is when a person cannot distinguish one of the fundamental colors, red, green or violet. If a person is told to select colors resembling violet, he will if red blind usually select blues as well as Violets. If he is green blind, he will select green or gray. with possibly some blues and violets of the brightest shades. Violet blindness fs rare. Toa red blind person the American flag ap- pears to have green and white stripes, while the white stars appear on a rvio- let field. To a green blind person the stripes have the proper colors, but the field for the stars is red violet. Toa violet blind person the stripes are nor- mal, but the stars appear to be set in a dark brownish gray field. To a person who ts totally color blind the blue of the flag appears a light yellowish brown, while the red stripes seem to be a darker brown. ee An idol Shattered. Some one has said that people that are fond of hero worship should never make a pilgrimage to see the hero. Here is an instance: An enthusiastic young lady admirer called on her favorite author. In speaking of her visit she said: “I’m sorry I saw him. He didn’t look at all like an author—no long, wavy hair; no dreamy expression; no eyes, nae on the stars as if to read the secrets of the heavens; no musical, low voice—nothing to suggest the genius. No, I found him leaning on the garden gate, in his shirt sleeves, Swearing &t a grocery boy! And his hair was close cropped, and he looked as if he hadn’t shaved in a week. He was the most terribly human specimen I ever saw.”—Atlanta Constitution. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell inquirers that the roughest piece of water is that cruel stretch in the Eng- lish channel, and nine out of ten trav- elers would say what was not true. As a matter of fact, “the wickedest bit of sea” is not in the Dover strait or in yachting, for example, from St. Jean de Luiz up to Pauillae or across the Mediterranean “race” from Cadiz to Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape Horn, where there is what sailors call a “true” sea. The “wickedest sea” is ane in rounding the Cape of Good Hope for the eastern ports of Cape Colony. What a Scotsman Wears. A Scottish correspondent, signing himself “Haggis,” writes to us as fol- lows: Dear Sir—Please state in your column that a Scotsman wears a kilt, not kilts. Thus Harry Lauder went to amuse the king clad in a kilt, not in kilts. We regret to say that we find our Selves unable to accede to our corre- spondent’s request. Respect for truth compels us to state that a Scotsman almost invariably wears neither a kilt nor kilts, but trousers—London News, Quite of Her Opinion. “Oh, I did so want to have a talk with you! I’m simply mad to go on the stage!” exclaimed a gushing young lady to a popular actor. “Yes, I should think you would be, my dear young lady!” remarked the great histrion.

It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and at the same time keeps his business from not dying when he does. It eliminates the personal equation. It per- petuates confidence iz the store and makes it possible for a merchant to withdraw from busi- ness without having the profits of the business withdrawn from him.

C., Jan. 6.—One of the most brutal crimes that have ever shocked the people of Lexington county occurred about four miles north of here tonight. An unknown negro at-) tempted to cziminally assault Mrs. Thomas Wingard, wife of a most highly respected farmer. It is reported here at 9:30 o’clock that the negro has been captured and that sheriff P. M. Corley has received a bullet wound in the leg from the negro’s weapon Those returning from the scene refuse to say anything about the capture, and it is safe to say the negro has been lynched. Mrs. Wingard, who is 53 years old, was ia her bacx yard when the negro seiz2d her, her husband being ina near by lot at che time. News of the affair spread like wildfire and it was not long before the entire neighborhood was aroused. Sheriff Corley was notified and left immediately with bloodhounds to capture the negro. Mrs. Wingard is said to be in a highly nervous sta‘e and is under a pbhysician’s care to- nizht. Lumsden Held for Court.

The peculiarity of the prison bird, a feathered beauty of Africa, is that he is the most tyrannical and jealous of husbands, imprisoning his mate throughout her nesting time. Living- stone watched the bird’s habits while in Monpour, and in his subsequent ob- servations referred to the nest as a prison and the female bird as a slave. The nest is built in the hollow of a tree through an opening in the bark. As soon as it 1s completed the mother bird enters carefully and fearfully and settles down in it. Then papa walls up the opening, leaving only just space enough for air and food to pass through. He keeps faithful guard and brings food at regular intervals with- out fail. The female thrives under her enforced retirement. But if the prison bird is killed or in any other way pre- vented from fulfilling his duties the mother and her little ones must die of starvation, for she cannot free herself from bondage. Normally the imprisonment lasts un- til the chicks are old enough to fiy. Then the male bird destroys the bar- rier with his beak and liberates his family. “It is charming,” writes Liv- ingstone, “to see the joy with which the little prisoners greet the light and the unknown world.” THE NORMAN “OYEZ.” A Legacy of William the Conqueror to the Courts. : Everybody who has ever been in a United States courtroom knows that when the judge walks out of his cham- bers and ascends the bench the court crier drones out: “Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court of the (whatever district it may be) is now in session.” Not many persons, however, realize that the crier says “oyez, oyez, oyez,” instead of “harken, harken, harken,” because of a chance visit that William the Conqueror made to an English court almost 900 years ago. William had overrun England, seized the government and placed himself at its head. Happening to enter a court- room, he heard the crier call the as- semblage to order in English. William rebuked him and on the spot decreed that the business of all English courts should be transacted in Norman French, his native tongue. Afterward the courts went back to English, but to this day ‘“oyez, oyez, oyez,” clings to court customs wherever the English language is spoken as a reminder of the great Norman who whipped King Harold in the battle of Hastings.— Serap Book. Tyrannical One of Life’s Tragedies. He had expected a tender embrace from his sweetheart, but her greeting of him was cold. He could not under- stand it. “Darling,” he exclaimed in agony, “what is the matter?” But she remained silent, her lps tightly closed, and motioned him from her.

Carmichael Found Chopped up. and Partly Consumed by Fire in Two Stoves in One of His Churches. ——— Detrioit, Mich., Jan. 6 —The The dismembered body cf the Rev. J. H. Carmichael, a Metho- dist minister, was found today partially consumed by fire in the two heating stoves of one of his three churches near Colum- busin the southwestern part of St. Clair county. Clues of the murderer and his motive were more difficult to obtain. There was a rumor that a strange man had left a train at Hickery late in the after- noon and had been directed to the Columbus chureh, and there were other rumors indicating that two men were implicated in the crime. Mr. Carmichael hag been in Michigan about ten years and for two years had been pastor of the three churches at Columbus, Adair and China. With his wife and three children, he resided at Adair Leaving home yesterday morning, he told Mrs. Carmichael that he was going to Columbus to arrange for aseries of revival meetings there. Myron Brown, - who lives near the scene of the tragedy, was the first to discover the crime today While he was waiting at the cross- roads to keep an appointment the cold wind drove him to seek shel ter in the church. He was sur- prised to find the church doors unlocked and upon opening them Was terrified to see the church floor, the pews and even the com- munion table daubed with blood and fragments of bloody clothing scattered all around. Evidently the clergyman, who was fifty-six years old and of athletic build, had made a terrific struggle for his life. Without investigating further Brown fied to his home where he had a key fo the church. He re- turned and locked the doors and hurried to the village of Hickory, from which place he notified the sheriff’s office at Port Huron. The authorities on their arrival at the church found parts of the dismembered body in the two stoves located respectively in the front and rear. and discovered in one stove the head of what was apparently a new hatchet, the handle of which had been burned off. A dirk was also found in the church and it is believed that the dirk served for the murder, while the hatchet was used to cut the body to pieces. The minister’s horse was found today tied to a tree in the village of Pine River, the dead man’s over coat being discovered in the buggy Pine River is a small vilalge near Thornton ion the main line of the Grand Trunk railroag and fully twenty miles from the scene of the murder. ——~~+2@> o_—__—.

These boys in company with three others, broke into the Shel- by Pressing Club at Charlotte a night or so before Xmas, and stole therefrom twenty:seven suits of clothes. Two of them were caught in Charlotte, the remaining three making their cseape. Policeman Maleomb got the in- formation that some of the boys were here, working in the cotton mills» ang this morning, he came here from Charlotte, and in con: pany with Sheriff Deaton, went to look for the boys. They at first visited the home of Jno. Church, near Bloomfield, and there they found Bob very much home. A search. of the house revealed six suits of the stolen clothes. On inquiry Mr. Deaton was in- formed that Roscoe in eompany with Church’s son had gone down about the Statesville cotton mill. Mr. Deaton put bracelets on Bob and left him at the home of \! Chureh, in charge of Mr, Mal- comb, while he went in search of Roscoe. In one of the stores near the old cotton mill, Mr. Deaton found a boy who answered the deserip- tion of Roscoe, playing checks with a boy who was said to be Chureh’s son. Mr. Deaton called to him and said, “‘Roscoe, come here.’’? The boy immediately jumped up and came over to Mr. Deaton, and the latter pulled a warrant from his pocket» and told him to consider himself under arrest. Then Roscoe denied his name telling Mr. Deaton that it was Robinson. Mr. Deaton did not take any fooling» but put a pair of brace- lets on him, and went back to Church’s house to come to town with Mr. Maleomb and the other prisoner. Upon arriving there Mr. Dea- ton wag informed that Bob had escaped from Mr. Maleomb. At first he did not believe it, but it verified by several others and Mr. Deaton had to believe it. He brought Roscoe on to the city and lodged him in jail. Mr. Maleomb stated that he Was sitting in Church’s home, and had taken the bracelets off of Bob to let him eat dinner, when without a minutes warning he jumped up and ran out of the house. Mr. Maleolm gave chase, but lost him near the Bloomfield cot- ton, mills. Going out to the mac- adam road, above the cotton mill, Mr. Maleolm was informed that Bob had passed up the road at a 2:40 gait. Chase was immedi- ately abandoned by the officer. He will take Roseoe to Charlotte with him tonight. ————_++2r-——— On accouet of illness Mayor O. B.

She then heard a clatter on the housctop that sounded like hail, and she saw little white threads of steam arising from neighbor- ing roofs.

Wallace Rose, a young man 18 years of age, in atempting to op- erate his machine got his right hand caught between the cylinder aud frame of the card, resulting in his fingers being torn away and hi” hand badly mangled. The young man was carried to Dr. MeMul- lan’s office, and upon examination there it was found necessary to amputate the hand at the wrist. The accident wag particularly un- fortunate on account of young Rose being the support of a wid- owed mother and two sisters. A party from Chapanckes here today reports that Ben Overton, a negro carpenter, met with fearful accident while at work in Mayor Loomis’ lumt-er mills, situated be- tween Hertford and Winfall, yes- terday. The man was doing ear- penter work over head> directly over a cut-off saw. In some way while in stooping posture he fell, striking the rapidly moving saw, which literally ripped a fearful gash down his back and legs. He was tenderly earried to his home at Winfall and medical aid sum- moned from Hertford. At last re- port, he was still living, but if he survives it will be miraculous. -_—————_s-4oP ore.

Mr. Cavin and- his sweztheart left home on the noon train and went to Charlotte. From there they went to some point in South Carolina and were married. They reurned that evening, arriving home shortly after dark. The wedding had been set for that time but the extreme and protracted illness of Mr. Cavin’s mother made it necessary for him to alter his marital arrangements somewhat, as his mother required his atention day and night. His mother is still ill, but they deemed it wise to give up their secret. (This wedding comes as a sur- prise to some, and not so much to others. Several had suspicioned and talked the matter, but this is the first public announcement of it. Mrs. Cavin is well known in this city, and is a niece of Mr. J.S.

Six Night = Riders Guilty OTHERS GOOD FOR 20 YEARS. Court Will Sentence the Sextett® to Death, Intimating That the Appeal for New Trial, Which Must be Made Saturday, Will be Overruled—Juror Rossom Col- lapses and is Seriously Tl— State Exp€cted a Verdict of First Degree Murder and Was Visibly Disappointed, Union City, Tenn. 7.—With a verdict of guilty in varying degree the jury in the night-rider trials reported at 8:45 p m., tonight. The twelve men found Garrett: Johnson, Tid Burton, Boy Ran- son, Fred Pineon, Arthur Cloar and Sam Applewhite guilty of murder in the first degree with mitigating circumstances, and Bud Morris and Bob Huffman, the other defendants, guilty of murder in the second degre and fixed their punishment at twenty years in the penitentiary. The punishmnt of the six first named defendants was left to the court and may be death or life impri- sonment. The defense filed a motion for a new trial which was set far hearing Saturday and which will be overruled, as indi- cated by the court when sentence will be pronounced. Thee ourt © will sentence the six first named defendants to death. The jury had been out since 2 p. m., but because of the illness of Juror Rosson had not been able to consult until 6 p. m. There There was a difference of opinion among the jurors as to the degree of guilt of the defendants but an agreement was reached quickly. Court was convened at 8. m. and the jury sent word that it would be able to report shortly. The room was crowded: as it was during the argwnent. The min- utes passed and at 8:15 p. m. the bailiff called for the county pay- sician. Juror Rossen was in 2 state of collapse and needed at- tention. It wag half an hour be- fore Rossen was revived. The jury filed in and six deputies were sumond to carry in the bed upon which the sick juror reclin- ed. The foreman announced verdict, the defense called for a poll, which wags made and the judge dismissed the jurors. Ros- son’s condition is such that it was deemed inadvisable to move him tonight.

The skilled advertiser works with small words—they fit into more minds than big phrases. The simpler the language the greater cer- tainty that it will be understood by the Jeast intelligent reader. The construction engineer plans his soad- bed where there is a minimum of grade—he works along the lines of Jeast resistance. The advertisement which runs into moun- tainous style is badly surveyed—all minds are not built for high level thinking. Advertising must be simple. When it is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression it looks as much out of place as a ball dress at the breakfast tablel The buying public is only interested in facts. People read advertisements to find out what you have to sell. The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit —blank talk, however clever, is only wasted space. You force your salesmen to keep to solid facts—you don’t allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance in personal salesmanship. Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear expianations—write copy as you talk. Only be more brief. Publicity is costlier than conversation—ranging in price downward from $6.00.a line, talk is not cheap but the most expensive commodity inthe world. Sketch in your ad to the stenographer. Then you will be so busy * saying it’’ that you will not have time to bother aout the gew- gaws of writing. Afterwards/Aake the type- written manuscript and cut out every word and every line that can be erased withoutomit- . ting an important detail. What remains in the end is all that really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and simplicity. “Savea Francais’? may Jook smarter, but more people will understand ‘French Soap.’’ Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation of gravitation covers six pages, but the schooiboy’s terse and homely ‘What goes up must come down”’ clinches the whole thing in six words.

Then she shot herself twice, and was aiming a third time, when her husband snatched the weap- on from her. Two of the children are dead and the third dying, but the mother has a chance for recovery. Mrs. Powell, who is concious: says her husband drank till she could stand it no longer. It is said he was at a carousal at a neighbor’s when the tragedy oc- curred and he was summoned in time to save his wife. Mrs. Powell left four letters, one to “Charlie,” a man said to have sold her husband liquor, saying she hoped this would be a lesson to him. Another letter gave all the plans for four funer- als including grave clothes, ser- vices and burial. ——__~+<~+@>e————_ Most disfiguring skin eruptions, scrofula, pimples, rashes, etc., are due to impure blood.

Philadelphia, Jan. 6—By of- ficial announcement the greatest diseovery in the war against consumption since the finding of the tuberculcsis bacillus by Koch, has just been made public This is the discovery made by Dr. R. C. Rosenburgh, famous biologist and holder of the chair of bacteriology at Jeffersoa Medi- cal College, that the tuberculosis germ can be readily fouad in the blood long before it reaches the lungs, that it is thenin a con- dition which makes it readily amendable to destruction by simple treatment and fresh air and that it will soon be possible to use a perfect anti-toxin which will stamp the disease out en- tirely. Through Dr. Rosenburgh’s dis- covery, consumption from the greatest scourge of modern times, dwindles down to the easiest treated disease in exis tence. Dr. Rosenburgh has tested his discovery and his method upon 150 cases, in none of which there was a failure. ———~__-+> o-____ Four-Year-Old Boy Loses Life in Flames, Salisbury, N. C.

CHARGES AGAINST CHIEF Asheville Officer Negligent in Dis- charge of Duty, It is Alleged, inf Failing to Kill Rabid Dogs. Asheville, Jan. 7.—H.C. Ched- ester, of the local law firm of Carter & Chedester, this evening filed with Mayor Campbell charges against Chief of Police N. A. Collins, alleging negligence in the discharge of duty. The charges grew out of a dog bite and a police court hearing. Yes- terday afternoon, Arthur Wiley, @ nephew of Cledester, was bit- ten by a dog. The dog was caught, and in court this morn- ing it was ordered that the chief kill the dog. After the court session the chief. instead of kill- ing the dog, gave it to a man who promised to takeit to the eountry. This afternoon the dog showed up in Victoria and severely bit achild. [t was shot and killed by the child’s mother and to-night, it is alleged, the dog was soffering with rabies. The affair has created some- thing of a stir in official circles, and the hearing of the charges against the chief to-morrow will attract much attention. Colline says that after court he was given permission to send the dog away. —___—_1- +> > —__—_ PREACHER HAS 4 WIVES. Cumberland County Circuit Rider ’ Of Color a Regular Mormon in This Respect.

The apportionment by counties of the first hundred thousand dollars voted for public schoois was an- nounced yesterday by the Depart- ment of Public Instruction. This money is divided among the counties on the basis of the per cap- ita of school population, there be- ing 715,716 children of school age in the State, the per capita being -13972 cents. The exact figures of the total on this basis failed to reach $100,663 Dy $19.55, and this amount was divided amongst coun- ties receiving small amounts, Clay setting $7.55 extra, and eighteen other counties getting $1.00 extra each. Under the above plan Iredell county gets $1,550.61 for its schools. ~ ———_++>>-—. LOCKER TAX&s. The step of the city fathers last night in placing a $5,000 tax on locker is a good one. There is only one way to have a prohibition law, and by doing away with the locker and the drug store, we have only the blind-tiger to operate against. Under the new ordinance passed last night no person, firm, corpor- ation or club can have left or stored on their premises any intoxicating liquors of anykind. If you get any liquors it is either up to you to drink it up, or keep it on your own premises. y The ordinance passed last night also does away with the drug store evil, such as Charlotte has. Under the new ordinance no drug store can sell any kind of intoxicat- ing liquors, and here again is a law that is ablessing. We venture to say, that under the present laws, Statesville is the dry- est dry town in the whole state, and the officers here are more ac- tite than a lot of other towns in this state. ———++@>- eo ___ Day after day he walked the street, Looking for a presnt for “‘wifey’’ sweet— “*T know what ll please her most,”’ said he; “It’s Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea.’’—Statesville Drug Co. ——~++@>»—_____ WANTED A JUDGE.

A skilled layer of mosaics works with small fragments of stone—they fit into more places than the /arger chunks. The skilled advertiser works with small words—they fit into more minds than big phrases. = The simpler the language the greater cer- tainty that it will be understood by the Jeast intelligent reader. ~ | : The construction engineer plans his road- bed where there is 2 minimum of grade—he vorks along the lines of Jeast resistance. The advertisement which runs into moun- tainous style is badly surveyed—all minds are not built for high level thinking. Advertising must be simple. When it is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression it looks as much out of place as a ball dress at the breakfast tablel The buying public is only interested in facts. People read advertisements to find out what you have to sell, The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit —hblank talk, however clever, is only wasted space. You force your salesmen to keep to solid facts—you don’t allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance in persona! salesmanship. : Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear explanations—write copy as you talk. Only be move brief. Publicity is costlier than conversation—ranging in price downward from $6.09 a line, talk ts not cheap but the most expensive commodity inthe world. Sketch in your ad to the stenographer. Then you will be so busy “saying iz’’ that you will not have time to bother about the gew- gaws of writing. Afterwards take the type- written manuscript and cut out every word -and every line that can be erased without omit- ting an important detail. What remains in the end is ali that really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and simplicity. ‘“‘Savea Francais” may /eok smarter, but more people will «anderstand ‘French Soap.’’ Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation of gravitation covers six pages, but the schoolboy’s terse. and homely “What goes up must come down clinches the whole thing in six words.

Bob Turner the young white man who is wanted in Charlotte for the larceny of clothes was captured here Saturday night after a foot race. by Chief Conner and Officers McKoy and Kerr and taken to Charlotte yesterday by Deputy Ward. Turner was caught by Sheriff Deaton last Friday at the home of Jno. Church in this city, and, al- though Charlotte people do not own it, he escaped Policeman Mdtcomb of that city, being at large until Sat- urday night. The local authorities heard Sat- day afternoon late that Turner was at the Church home, and was going to a singing in the country with the Church boys that evening. The Officers kept a look out and found that a horse and buggy had been hired from a liveryman, by these boys. Saturday night about 11 o‘clock, they returned, Turner getting out of the buggy at the postoffice, fearing to go to the stable with the other boys, that he might be caught. But Chief Conner and his men were not playing. They saw him alight from the buggy, so they went to the postoffice after him. Turner sam them coming, and made for tall timbers, via Front street. After a chase of about two blocks he was finally caught and lodged in jailk He was taken to Charlotte yesterday by Deputy Ward. In publishing an account of the catching and escape of Turner Fri- day, the Charlotte Observer stated that the officers let Turner escape them here. We wish it made plain that the Charlotte policeman let the man escape, our officers having nothing to do with the escape.

Statesville, N. C., Monday Bacillus to be Destroyed by an Ang} titoxin—Dr. Rosenbergh, of Jet™! ferson Medical College, Finds That Germ Roams Blood Chan- nels Long Before it Attacks Tis- sues—To Make Men Immune. By official announcement made today the greatest discovery in the war against-consumption since the finding of the tuberculosis bacillus by Koch was made public. This is the discovery of Dr. Ran- dle C. Rosenbergh, famous biologist and holder of the chair of bacteri- ology at Jefferson Medical College, that the tuberculosis germ can be readily found in the blood long be- fore it reaches the lungs: that it is then in a condition which makes it easily destroyed by simple treat- ment and fresh air, and that it will soon be possible to use an antitoxin Which will stamp the disease out. Dr. Rosenbergh has tested his dis- covery and his method upon 150 cases, in noxe of which was there a failure. He nas made known the resuits of his experiments to the College of Physicians and to the faculty of Jeferson College, and his whole paper upon the subject will appear shortly in a medical publica- tion. Before that Dr. Rosenbergh, who is a purist in medical ethics, will not discuss it or go into deails of the matter. evond the bare confirmation of the essential points ne had nothing to say. From other sources, entirely fa- miliar with Dr. Rosenbergh’s experi- ments, it was learned that he had found that the tuberculosis bacilli make their first appearance in the blood of the infected person. They do not first appear in the lungs or glands, but invariably in the blood. To varying degrees of time depend- ing upon the condition and suscep- tibility of the affected one they course about in the circulation be- fore settling in the part that gives them least resistance. While in the blood they may be found by a single test whft{¥%" “Dr. Rosenbergh has discovered. The nature of this test is still a secret. Then they may be eradicated quickly and en- tirely. By this discovery an anti toxin or virus can be injected that will ren- der the human organism immune to consumption. Work upon this virus based on the new phase of the matter, is now in progress. The hope of its perfection is not far dis- tant, it was cautiously said. “If this is aT® that is hoped for it,’ said Dr. Lawrence Flick, presi- dent of Phillips Institute for Con- sumptives, tonight, ‘‘the fight against the great white plague is won.”’ The simplicity of the method is such that it will be available to every physician and to the simplest laboratory.—Phialdelphia Dispatch to N.

McCorkle and only daughter of the Jate Mr. and Mrs. John Wilfong. Mrs. McCorkle was a woman of sterling qualities and of excellent business capacities. Early in life she married Mr. M. L. McCorkle, a man quite a number of years ker senior, and they reared a large family of children. Of these Henry Me- Corkle, of Tyler, Tex.; George and C. M. McCorkle, of Newton; Mrs. E. R.

Lexington, N. C., Jan. 10.— While her husband was gone to the postoftice after his mail, Mrs. H. Cam Heitman, a brideof three days, suddenly disappeared frcm the Surratt boarding house this afternoon and it was not known where she had gone until tonight, when it was learned that she had caught train No. 46 at Lake, six miles north of Lexington, and gone to Greensboro. Heit- man had just said -‘Sweetheart, don’t you want to go to the postoffice with me?’ She replied in the negative, and it was a few minutes later when she disap- peared by way of the back door. The young womun walked out of town, but is said to have em- ployed some one to come into town and get a buggy in which she wernt to Lake. Every efiort was made by Heit- man to locate his wife. He first went to Lake on No. 22, but fail- ing to find her there walked back to Lexington. This afternoon he went to ‘Thomasville on 46, and his wife boarded the train at Lake. An effort was made to get her to return with him, but she refused. Heitman was married at Salis- bury last Thursday afternoon, his bride being Miss Lila Louise Campbell, daughter of Wm. A. Campbell, of Alexander, near Asheville. Heitman belongs to a well-known family, but during the past year has received some advertising for having had worthless checks cashed, his rep- resentation being that he had disposed of a patent on a mail pouch and onan arc light ata big price. Mrs. Heitman told the lady with whom they boarded that Heitm.2n had fooled her. The disappearance of Mrs. Heit- man caused a good deal of ex- citement in Lexington, and all afternoon large crowds were gathered in the business parts of the town discussing the affair.

The letter follows: ‘‘Christflas was the first time for me to see a bread line. The talk of ‘peace on earth and good will to men’ is preposterous. How can there be peace when thousands of men must humiliate themselves and stay in line for hours to pro- cure a miserable Iunch? How can there be peace when you see women with infants in their arms, waiting many hours that they may get some food for thémseTvés and little ones? How can there be peace when every man in the bread line represents 2 broken home, an aching heart, the longing of children for their fath- ers and innumerable weeping moth- ers of these men in line? No peace will reign on earth until poverty is abolished and évery man celebrates Christmas and other holidays at his own table surrounded by his belov- ed ones, and not in the bread line.” ——_~+o THE HELPLESS AND HOMELESS Notwithstanding the wonderful “prosperity” so confidently pro- mised, there are thousands of peo- ple who are out of work. Many of them are facing the storms of win- ter after months of idleness with no prospects of work or means by which to keep their families from suffering. Others, driven to des- peration by their inability to get employment of any kind, are filling the news columns of the daily press with “‘suicide’’ items. The benevo- lent associations are pleading for in- creased funds in order to meet the unusual and heavy démands made upon them, and many private and personal charities are trying to help meet the pitiful conditions. Among the most difficult questions to deal with is that of furnishing work for old people, or even those past mid- dle age, men, as well as women. Nobody, apparently, wants them, and in many cases those having grown children are forced to seek support for themselves because the younger people are out of work, or earning so little that they cannot un dertake the case of the elders. Many of these elderly people are able to do good work, though not strong enough for the heavier duties of the home, offices, or shops or factories; others are incompetent, menally and physically, to in any way pay for their keep. The homes for old people are crowded, with a long list of waiting applicants for admis- sion, and many benevolent associa- tions are paying the expenses of in- dividuals until they can get them into the institutions. It is a pity that some of our philanthropists who are seeking ways and means of disposing of their ‘‘surplus,’’ do not endow homes where these poor old men and women could go sure of a refuge for the few years remaining to them. : —_——_~4< > —__—_ ANOTHER “SIGN OF THE TIMES” The St. Louis court of appeals has given progressive matrimony another blow by deciding that a man can not evade the payment of alimony by assuming the responsi- bilities of caring for a second or third wife. The learned judges say that even the clothes on the man’s back may be taken—a “pay up or go naked,” verdict; for the judges hold that alimony is a pre- ferred claim, and that an ex-hus- band’s clothing may be seized to enforce payment. The fact that a man’s salary is not large enough to support two families, the court de clares, has nothing to do with the case; his first wife must first be sat- isfied, even if he loves the second wife best. The second wife knew, or should have known about the ali- mony, and she must get along with what her--predecessor leaves. The decision looks like a good law, and: goud sense. It is in line too with the timehonored maxim, “Be sure you are off with the old love before you are on with the new.’’—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ——— i - Mothers how can you take chances—keep a_ bottle cf Moth- ers Joy in your house.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that affiict humanity; they must “keep uf,” 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 and 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. Read of a remedy for xidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “I"or several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had 2 soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ’? For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

The skilled advertiser works with small words—they fit into more minds than big phrases. The simpler the language the greater cer- tainty that it will be understood by the J/east intelligent reader. The construction engineer plans his zoad- bed where there is a minimum of grade—he works along the lines of Jeast resistance. The advertisement which runs into moun- tainous style is badly surveyed—all] minds are not built for high level thinking. Advertising must be simple. When it is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression it looks as much out of place as a ball dress at the breakfast tablel The buying public is only interested in facts. People read advertisements to find out what you have to sell. The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit —blank talk, however clever, is only wasted space. You forcé your salesmen to keep to solid facts—you don’t allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your -printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance in personal salesmanship. Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear explanations—write copy as you talk. Only be more brief. Publicity is costlier than conversation—ranging in price downward from $6.00 a line, talk ts not cheap but the most expensive commodity inthe world. Sketch in your ad to the stenographer. Then you will be so busy “ saying it” that you will not have time to bother about the gew- gaws of writing. Afterwards take the type- written manuscript and cut out every word and every line that can be erased without omit- ting an important detail. What remains in the end is all that really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and ‘simplicity. ‘‘Saven Francais’? may Jook smarter, but more people will understand “French Soap.’”’ Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation of gravitation covers sz i: pages, but the schoolboy’s terse and -homely J ‘What goes up must .come down” clinches 1 the whole thing in six words.

Through your kindness and most splendid paper, I want to speak to the local union and farmers of Ire- dell and Alexander counties. Our State Business Agent H. S. Robinson of Lincolnton, has sent out a request that each county hold a mass meeting or convention soon, and decide on the amount of fertili- zer they will want to buy through him this spring. Realizing the importance of this in time and work. I hereby call a meeting of the Iredell County Union in Statesville, Saturday, Jan. 30th, 1909 at 11 o,clock, a. m. Let each local meet and each delegate and make out a list of the amount and kind of fer- tilizer they want this spring and re- port at the county meeting. AS Alexander county is not organized yet, they can meet in their locals and make out a list of the amount and kind they will want and send a representative with their list to our county meeting so that arrange- ments can be made for them pro- vided the county is not organized fore the time to order the fertilizer which we _ hope to do if possible. Now if there is any section in Ire- dell or Alexander counties not or- ganized yet. and would like to be organized and get their fertilizers with us this spring write me at once at Loray, N. C. : Brother farmers this is a great organization and it is for you and yet how many are. standing back and nearly every one admits that they are in sympathy with the move but that they will wait a while and see how we come out. That sounds very well in some things but a man in a great conflict like this, waiting to see, after seeing the experiences of 43 years, with the farmers poor and in debt, scarcely able to spare their children four months in 12 to go to the free schools, while the gambling speculator is rolling in his millions. We tail to see manhood in the fellow who is saying they will wait and see how we come out. By such reasoning the next 43 years will be the same as the 43 past. The inherent disposition of man is to buy in the cheapest market, and sell in the highest, and yet the farmers all over this country for 43 years have been waiting to see how we would-come out, and letting the other fellow fix the price on our products. While we wait to see. the other fellow is sure to fix the price low enough so he can still make his millions while we are wait- ing to se how we come out. Now do you not think that we have waited long enough? Come, let us go to work and do some fixing for our- selves and show to the world that we think just as much of our wives, children and homes as the other fellow. Another fellow says the Union is no good, it will never amount to any thing, simply does not know what he is talking about, and if they could have been in that splendid State meeting at Monroe, seen and heard the proceedings of that great convention, would not make such a statement again. and in a very few years it will demon- strate itself to the world much bDet- ter than we can tell you now. So let us have a full meeting of all Members on the 30th inst. Most respectfully, W. B. GIBSON, Pres. Iredell Courty, F. U. —————§-4)> > A Remarkable Cucumber. Saturday, Mr. J. A.

Detroit; Jan. 19.—To-day develop- ments failed to throw any considera- ble light onthe Rattle Run church murder mystery inSt. Clalr county. Motive for the killing of Gideon Brow- ing, whose dismembered body was partly burnedin the church stove, is still lacking, Rev. J. H. Carmichael missiug pastor of thechurch, was re- ported during last night to have been seen in Indiana, Chicago, and Wis- consin. An interesting development today was the report that shortly before last Tuesday,s murder Rev.jCarmich- ael hadordered all the lamps of the church filled with oil. It had been customary to use only part of the lamps and those not used regularly had not been filled fora long time. As the lights had not been used for a meeting since the last filling, the theory has been advanced that oil from the lamps was empited into the stove to hasten the cremation body of Gideon Browning. A good dealof suprise had been manifested over the almost complete cremation of the victim’s body, only a few bones and fragments of flesh being left. It was discovep also that instead of tying his horse in the shed back of the church. the interior of theshed being visible from the highway in the moonlight- heleft his rig in the shed back of the Lutheran church across the road.

WHAT THY NAY OF US State of North Carolina, Iredell County, Olin Township, July 30th 1888. To Whom it May Concern. We the endersigned citizens of the above named State and County having known Dr. John F. Foard, for many years, (he having lived in this community for 22 years), most cheerfully testify to his high standing as a physician, and faith- ful worker for both Church and State, where he has lived during a long and useful life in this and oth- er counties, in this his native State. And having heard those who have used his ‘New’ Discovery,’ and Great Southern Remedy, speak of it in the highest terms as to its cura- tive properties, do most cordially recommend it to the public for such disease of the stomach and other in- ternal organs of which so many of the human family are now suffer- ing, and as he is the only manufac- turer and sole proprietor of this medicine we hesitate not to say: we believe there is no patent swindle in it and that he will continue to man- ufacture it and other remedies in the most honest manner possible, and give them to an _ appreciative: public, and that his efforts may beg crowned with the greatest success. Esepcially as he abandoned the re- munerative practice of his profes- sion in early life on account of ill health, and to work in other depart- ments for the good of society, and having lost a fine estate by the late war, he is disqualified in advanced life to recuperate by more active duties.

Foard’s Kidney and liver medi- cine and think it a good thing for those diseases for which it is re- commended. I tested it fully in the case of a man afflicted with struc- ture of urethra; enlarged prostate; congestion of kidneys, it gave more relief than all the other medicine which I used put together. I know it to be a good combination. I also state that I have known Dr. Foard for years and that he is a citizen of good standing in the community, and do not believe that he would at- tempt to practice a fraud or put put anything on the market without it possessed real virtue and expect to test it still further in my practice W. P. PARKS, M. D. Olin, N. C.. Aug. 7th 1889. This is to certify that for two years my health was so nearly de- stroyed from disease of liver, kid- ney and stomach terminating in Sciatic Rheumatism I was compelled to abandon labor, though I had been treated by several physicians and taken many remedies I received no permanent relief until I was induc- ed to try Dr. John F. Foard’s New discovery for kidney and Liver dis- ease and his valuable liniment for neuralgia and Rheumatism which restored me to perfect health in a few months. L. A. DAVIS, Red Hill Franklin County, April 30th, 1889. Olin, N. C., ae 4th 1889. To all whom it may concern: I hereby testify that the certificate given Dr. J. F. Foard by L. A. Davis is correct. While on a visit to me, he was indeed in a sad condition and had about dispared of ever being cured. I did not, myself expect him to live many months, in a letter from him several months later than his certificate, he says he is in per- fect health and as stout as ever he was in his life. He is satisfied that Dr. Foard’s medicine saved his life. Very respectfully, B. F. RIVES. This is to certify that I have been an invalid for many years, have taken a great deal of medicine, grew worse until general dropsy set in, and was scarcely able to walk when I was induced to try Dr. John F. Foard’s Liver and Kidney remedy. It soon restored me to my usual health and improved my digestion greatly—In fact I never received as much benefit from any other medi- cine and at so_ little cost. My wife is now taking it for female disease to great advantage and I shall con- tinue to keep it in my house and fflict- heartily recommend it to all a ed with disease of the internal or- gans. CALVIN BOWLES. Olin, N. C., Oct., 34, 1889. This is to certify that for sev eral years past my family have been ee ing chills in the fall season unti this when we were exempted or es- caped them by the use of Dr. John F. Foard’s New Discovery for dis- eases of the internal organs which I believe to be a very fine tonic also. And that his remedy for Nasal Ca- tarfrh has also been used by a mem- ber of my family to great advant- age. MRS. JOHN DAVIDSON. _Statesvile Township, Iredell Co. N. C., Nov. 12, 1889. This is to certify that I have known Dr. J. F. Foard the last 30 vears. Through all these years he has been an active member of the church, most of the time in office, and is now superintendent of the Sunday school at Olin, N. C. I re gard him as incapable of offering the afflicted a remedy which he does not fully believe will accomplish what he says it will. N. G. BARRETT, N. C. Conference M. E. Church. October 15th, 1889. Col. A. B. Galloway of Elkin, N. C., after testing it writes: I think your new discovery is a very fine tenic and certainly a good medicine. James M. Davis, B. A., of Olin Al- liance writes: I think your medicine is doing my wife a great deal of jgood. It is certainly a good medi- cine. J. T. Drumright of_Statesvile, N. C. writes: Your New Discovery is all and more than you claim for it. H. Hayes of Brushy Mountain, P. O. Wilkes Co., N. C. writes: Your six bottles of Great Southern Rem- edy sent and taken by my wife did more for her than all the medicine she ever took before. See what two Editors who have known the proprietor for more than a third of a century says. The fol- lowing taken from the Salisbury, N. C. Watchman of July 21st 1888. New Discovery. “The New Discovery ’’ a medicine by Dr. John F. Foard, advertised in this paper, is offered to the public by that gentleman with great confi- dence of its virtues. We have known the Doctor for many years (before and since the war) and have no hesitation in saying that he has always sustained the reputation of a high toned Christian gentleman, and a physician of merit whose word might be accepted without the shadow of a doubt. We trust his new discovery will prove a valuable addition in the healing art. What the editor of the Salisbury Truth of Sept. 18th, 1890, says of us: “The New Discovery,” a remedy for diseases of the kidneys, liver and other internal organs, by Dr. John F. Foard we doubt not is one of the best medicines for the organs named now in _ use. For many years the Dr. was nigh unto death, but during the time, when able to study or work, (living in a section of country were medicinal herbs were abundant) he experimented on himself by preparations distilled from these vegetable roots. The re- sult is a permanent cure. He is now in perfect health. Not only so, but his preparation has effected sim- ilar cures for thirty five years. He has always borne an irreproachable character. Honorable, honest and truthful, what he says may be re- lied upon. Olin, Iredell County N. C. September 25th, 1890. In addition to my success. with my Great Southern Remedy (for four years) I have _been enabled by a kind providence to prepare from other native vegetable herbs a Rem- .edy for Nasal Catarrh, one for Ery- sipelas, Tetter, JIitch, Poison-oak bites of insects, warts, corns. and other skin diseases. One for Coughs and Colds. A valuable Liniment for Rheumatism anda Horse and Cattle Powder. Having retired from the regular practice of medicine wil] devote entire time and talents to the careful preparation of these different remedies. Read and cir- culate. JOHN F.

Boh- ler, given on his extensive cotton! plantation about ten miles from! town, and tonight he faced a spread of ‘possum and ’taters, besides a menu of heavy dimen- sions, as the guest of the local bar association. Mr. Taft had to divide the honor. At the barbe eue he distinguished himself by eating, while at the banquet he went noticeably light on the food but came in strong on the oratory The barbecue party consisted of about thirty distinguished euests from Augusta, including’ Charles P Taft. his wife and daughter, Mrs. W. H. Taft, Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond, Frank H. Hitcheock and others. There were barbecued chickens, lambs and pigs, stuffed potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, salads and mash and puddings, all served jn the open, with the weather like June days of the north. It wag nearly banquet time when he got back from his heavi~ ly laden board, and he remarked with some feeling that sleep was really what nature craved. How- ever, always at home and more than usual at his ease among lawyers, hig after-dinner specch was a medley of interesting com- ments on law and the legal pro- fession. He described the attrac- tiong of the lawyer’s life, and of the life of the judge, and express- ed his regret on leaving that life. He spoke of the importance of the lawyer to the gommunity in which he lived, of the necessity of enforcing the law, and of the dire results of a laxness in this direction. —— -——_+++@2———— Death of Elias W.

' We Drive Prosperity From Us All our limitations are in our mind, the supply is around us, Waiting in vast abundance. We take little because we demand lit- tle, because we are afraid to take the much of our inheritance—the abundance that is our birthright. We starve ourselves in the midst of plenty, because of our strang ling thought. The opulent life stands ready to take us into its completeness, but our ignorance cuts ug off. Hence the life abun- dant, opulence unlimited, the riv- er of plenty flows past our doors, and we starve on the very shores of its stream which carries infi- nite supply. Tt is not in our nature that we are paupers, but in our own [| mean stingy appreciation of our- selves and our powers. The idea that riches are possible only to those who have superior advant- ages, more ability, to those who have been favored by fate. is false and vicious. Those who put themselves into harmony with the law of opu- lence harvest a fortun2, while those who do not often find scarcely enough to keen them alive. A large, generous success is im- possible to many people, because every avenue to their minds is closed by doubt, fear. They have shut out the possibility of prosperity. Abundance cannot come to a mind that is pinched, shriveled, skeptical, and jessi- mistic. Prosperity is a product of crea- tive thinking. The mind that fears, doubts, depreciates its powers, is a negative not a crea- tive mind. It repels prosperity. repels supply. It hag nothing in common with abundance, hence cannot attract it. Of course, men do not mean to drive opportunity, prosperity, or abundance away from them; but they hold a mental attitude filled with doubts and fears and lack of faith and self-confidence, which virtually does this very thing without their knowing it Oh what paupers our doubts and fears make of us!—Suecess Magazine. —— 4-4 -—_—_ City Pays 10 Cents Each for Rats Seattle, Jan. 9—Bounty of one hundred rats, the catch of one day this week by the bounty squad, was paid by the city at the rat laboratory.

One of our. best known lectur- ers ig eredited with the remark that ‘‘every man who is worth a continental has some ambition.”’ That’s true. but we would lke to hear somebody define the lise be- tween ambition and _ discontent. A man may always have a burning ambition to attain a higher and more luerative position, and if he fails to get out of the rut beyond which he aspires, does he not be- come dissatisfied? Does he- not stand in a fair way to become dis- gruntled because opportunity has not smiled on. him? The line be- tween ambition and discontent is a narrow one, and while the gen- uine article of the former is soime- thing to be commended and de- sired of all men, the latter is a eanker that eats d®ep and dead- ens the. energies. It ig the fate of many to spend their en€rgies and time in little ijnsignificant service There is no.eseape from trivial details. Like children, they ar® continual- ly yearning for something big to do; like children, they fret at the restraint that holds them in a Lt- tle sphere. They are tied fast asd tight to a routine of details whieh seems devoid of every ele- ment of greatness. Thy are not conscioug of the fact that each of these little services to which they unselfishly giv their souls be- comes a pearl of passing value. The content of the noblest lives is only @ monument of these pearls. But most of us are dis- posed to dream, asd the dreams dazzle our eyes with gaudy pic- tures. We fondly believe that our vision world is-the rea world for us. ‘We refuse to learn a las- son from the countless millions who like us have dreamed and hoped—only to reap the harvest of dreams.—Asheville Citizen. ———++e>-o—__—_ Sees Mother Grow Young. “It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since -8he-began to use Electric Bitters,’? ‘writes Mrsc.

St- Louis, Jan. 8.—Mrs. Bennett Million, of No. 2600 Summit ave- nue, East St. Louis, who the East St. Louis police that her daughter Zeada, seventeen years old, had disappeared, received a Tet- ter anonuncing that the girl had just married Everett Smith. It was written by Smith, who said: “Don’t worry; we are en route to Iowa on our honeymoon.’’ There was a postcript from the daughter saying she would return in a few days. Mrs. Million opposed the mar- riage of her daughter to Smith, and itis said she had another man se- lected for the girl. Smith boarded at the Million home and recently was compelled to leave by Mrs. Mil- lion because, as she explained, she did not want ‘him courting her daughter. The couple took out the marriage license the next day. They planned to marry that night, but the mother kept the girl at home. Mr. and Mrs. Million and their daughter retired early and at 9 o’clock Zeada let herself out of her bedroom window on the second floor by means of a rope. Smith was waiting with a carriage, and the two accompanied by Harry Bean, drove to the home of the Rev. Mr. McCan- non of the First Methodist church, where the marriage was solemnized.. The girl’s father was with the couple when the license was ob- tained. The bride has been organist in the Winstanley M. E. Church in East St. Louis and is active in church work. She and Smith have known each other two years. If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad pains that affiict humanity; they must “keep uf.” 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 pend and work with racking pains and 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.

Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, Noo aC, says: ‘For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest.

Mitchell Elledge Dies Suddenl# on River Bank at Asheville. Asevile, Jan. 11—The body of @ man unknown here, and only partially identified, was found this morning about 10:30 o’clock in an outhouse near the yards of the Carolina Coal Company on the river bank The body was still warm when found by a boy. who notified the officers. Coro- ner Morrig went to the place and upon searching the man’s clothes found a letter addressed to Mitch- ell Elledge, this city. Some think Elledge once lived in the cotton mili section, and it ig certain that a family of that name resides there. The man apparently died suddenly from natural causes, and Dr. Morris, after a hurried exami- nation, expressed the opinion that death had oceurred about two hours before the body was found. It was later learned that Mitch- ell Elledge left the home of his mother, a widow living in the Turkey Creek section of the coun- ty, yesterday, coming to Ashe- ville. 1 Perpetual Youth. The elixir of youth lie in the mind or nowhere. You cannot be young by trying to appear so by dressing youthfully. You must first get rid of the last vestigle of thought, of belief, that you are mind, cosmetics and youthful dresg will amount to very little in changing your appearance; th thought which has produced the aging condition must be preserv- ed. If we can only establish the per- petual attitude, so that we feel young, we have won half the bat- tle against old age. Be sure of this: that whatever you feel re garding your age will be express- ed in your body. It is a great aid to the perpet- uation of youth to learn to feel young, however long we may have lived, because the body ex- presses the habitual feeling, hab- itual thought. Nothing in the world will make us look young as long as we are convinced that we are aging. : Nothing else more effectually retards age than keeping in mind the bright, cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, buoyant picture of youth in all its splendor, magnificence; the burning picture of the glories which belong to youth—youthful dreams, ideals, hopes and all the qualities which belong to young life. One great trouble with us is that our imaginations age prema- turely. The hard, exacting, con- ditions of our modern strenuous life tend to harden and dry up the brain and nerve cells, and thus seriously injure the power of the imagination, which should be kept fresh buoyant, elastie— Suecess Magazine. ———+-+r-» —___— Get us five, only five new yearly subscribers to the Evening Mascot and we will PRESENT you with a handsome 42-piece dinner set.

The Daring Scheme That Was Worked by a German Docter. Near a small village in one of the lake states lived a western millionaire +in seclusion with his little daughter and a few servants. The child was af- flicted with a rare cerebro spinal com- plaint, a most unpleasant manifesta- tion of which was a frequent hic- cough, and eminent physicians, both in America and Europe, had pronounc- ed the case organic and incurable. Later there came to live in the vil- lage a widow with a little girl affected similar to the millionaire’s daughter. This child was a delicate, flower faced creature, wistful from the isclation that must have been her sad lot, and the pecnliar bark-like hiccongh which ste made at once attracted the mil- lionaire’s attention, and, being a big hearted if rather ignorant man, he gave the mother employment about his home and showered the afflicted child with presents. Perhaps four months after the wid- ow’s advent an eccentric German doc- tor settled in the village, and, his serv- {ces being sought by the widow, he gave her child treatment, with the re. sult that it was completely cured. The milionaire immediately sought to place his own daughter under the German’s care, but the latter flatly re- fused to take the case. He was a Socialist of a violent trpe and would have nothing to do with a man whose wealth exceeded the sum that he had fixed upon as the lawful limit of ma- terial possession. Finally, however, after the father had patiently borne the grossest in- sults the German agreed to give the afflicted child treatment on condition that the other would first deed over a large tract of land in Texas for a So- cialist colony and pay him for his fee a sum little short of $50,000. This the millionaire did, but as soon as the doc- tor had cashed the check he disappear- ed with the widow and her child, and the wealthy man realized that, blinded by paternal love, he had been made the victim of an ingenious swindle. The flower faced girl of the widow had been taught to simulate a disease, and the German was no doubt her father. He was subsequently located in Buenos Aires, but he injured man, not wishing his daughter's affliction published broadcast, dropped the pros- ecution.—Don Mark Lemon in Bohe- mian Magazine. EXECUTING MAZEPPA. Peter the Great’s Odd Way of Punish- ing a Deserter, Peter the Great, czar of Russia, pun- ished a traitor on a notable occasion in & way that the numerous victims of the present czar’s wrath might well wish were still in vogue. Mazeppa, chieftain of the Cossacks, had deserted to the king of Sweden, with whom Peter was at war. Ma- zeppa was at once tried by court mar- tlal and found guilty of high treason. Sentence of death was passed upon him. Mazeppa, however, was safely in the camp of the Swedish king, but this fact was not permitted to stand in the way of the carrying out of every part ef the sentence. A wooden effigy of Mazeppa was made, and the punish- ments were inflicted upon the Cossack ebieftain'’s substitute. To offigy was first dressed in Ma- zeppe’s uniform, and upon its breast were pinned all of the medals, ribbons and other decorations that the réal cul- prit had worn. While the commanding general and a squadron of cavalry stood near an officer advanced to the wooden man and read the sentence. Then another officer wrenched off the effigy’s patent of knighthood and kis other decora- tions, tore them up and trampled upon them. This done, he struck the wood- en gentleman a powerful blow in the pit of the stomach, knocking him over. Next a hangman appeared. While the soldiers shouted he threw a noose over the imitation Mazeppa’s head and drag- ged the effigy to a nearby gallows, where it was “hanged by the neck until it was dead.”—Scrap Book. Could Handle a Shovel. The foreman 6f a Chicago iron mill once employed 2 tramp who had been a college baseball champion. Their acquaintance began in a way that showed the tramp still to be game and cheery. It was a cold autumn dawn, and the tramp had slept in front of a furnace on a warm stone. The fore- man, being short of laborers, on his morning tour of inspection spied» the fellow and thought he would give him a job. “My man,” he said, “can you do any: thing with a shovel?’ “Well, I could fry a piece of ham on it.”—Minneapolis Journal.

In a strange city, with no close friends or relatives, Mr. H. Thom- as Wade, a man aged between 50 and 60 years, died at the H®nry hoarding house on South Center street last night at 10:20 o’clock, the cause of hig death being asth- ma, eatarrh, and pneumonia. So fas as is known Mr. Wade has no relatives closer than a sis- ter-in-law, but where she is, no one knows. The remains were taken to the undertaking establishment of J. W. Nicholson & Co., where they were prepared for burial, pending word from relatives if they can be found. Mr. Wade eame to this city on October the 24th, 1908, for the benefit of his health, which has been very bad for some time. He registered at the Henry house from Ht Springs, Ark., where he had been for about three years for his health. Ife was born in Eastern North Carolina, and his parents died when he was twelve years of age. Mr. Wade went to Wake Forest college, where he workd his way through, graduating. He then went west and located in Arkansas, where he taught school near Little Rock. He had a certificate from a county super” intendent of Little Rock as a first class teacher. He has had asthma and ecatarrh for about fifteen years, and had come here, as mentioned before, in search of better health. Only yesterday he was able to be out in the yard of the Henry house, sitting in the sun. Late yester- day afternoon Dr. Yount was ealled in, and after an examina- tion said he hag contracted pneu- monia. He had not been to bed, and died, sitting on a chair in his room at 10:20 o'clock. His remains were taken to the undertaking es- tablishment and prepared for burial. A telegram was sent to Hot Springs in search of his sister-in- law, but as yet no answer has been received, and the persons in reached the scene, the house occu- pieq by by Brincefield was almost burned down, the other one hav- ing caught, and most of the roof and two rooms being on fire. Some parties in that vicinity had rusheg to the houses and saved most of the furniture from Mr. Brineefield’s home, and all from Mr. Foster’s house. When the ‘‘fire laddies’’ began work, they let the house oceupied by Mr Brincefield burn up as it was so nearly destroyed, and tried to save the Foster home and oth- er houses near by. After a stubborn fight of about one half an hour, the fire was fin- ally subdued. The company made a fast run to the fire and, despite the freezing temperature, did good work, under the direc- tions of the city’s fire chief, C. W. Conner. / The loss is supposed to be about $1,100 but the Mascot is unable to obtain any accurate figures, or how much insurance was carried on the house. —_—_~+@-o————- ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. — How the Official World Conduct® Itself in This Regarg at Wash- ington.

Goldsboro, Jan. 13.—The talk of the town for the past few days hag been the strange disappar- ance of Mr. Thomas J. Canler, sec- retary and treasurer of the Sel ma Cotton Mill but at last the mystery has been solved and as the curtain drops on the last act of the same old story, anoth2r man gone wrong. Mr. Canler is heard from by a letter sent from Montgomery, Ala. Mr. M. C. Winston, of Selma, president of the bank of that town and uncle of Canler, recciv- ed the letter from the absconding secretary and tr2asurer, written from Monutgomery, Ala., in which he briefly states that the reason for his disappearance is}- story—another “the same old man gone wrong.”’ Canler in that letter confesses to a shortage in his accounts which may be $10,000 or more. He alsa states that he will not re- main in Montgomery and_ will neither return nor tarry in his going until ke has found a place wherein he will not be likely to be apprehended. Just how much Canler has purloined may never be ascertained, as he has had trusted control of the mill and other side lines of business for years, without the books being audited beyond his personal su- pervision until within the past month, when Mr. Edgerton, pres- ident of the cotton mill, took a discriminating look through the books. Still, without questioning Mr. Canler’s integrity, though finding discrepancies, he decided to secure a competent expert to audit the books. Thig he made known “to Mr. Canler and the absconding of the latter followed, ahead of the arrival of the ex- pected expert. So thoroughly haq Canler es- tablished himself in the high es- teem of all who knew him that when his disappearance became known there was not one to sup- pose or suspéct him guilty of mis- doing, and nothing but hig own confession from a distance, fol- lowing his sudden absconding could satisfy them of the shocking and appalling truth. ——_+ar-e———— Tillman Demands Investigation.

It is a distinct loss that reading is so badly taught and that so few know anything about the magic of the poets in their use of sound: We read almost exclusively with the eye, although poetry is primarily intended for the ear. Shakes- peare wrote almost exclusively for the ear, and we remain un- moveg by the wonderful vibra- tion of his great passages until we hear them. Poetry ought always to be heard first and read after- wards. If the best of Browning ig sympathetically and _intelli- gently interpreted by the voice, the much discussed obscurity is not in evidence. Many people find, for instance, a little difficul- ty in getting the clear and full significance of ‘‘The Portrait of the Last Duchess’? when they read it for the first time; but it fastens itself instantly on the im- magination if it is well read. A good deal of time, now devoted to commentaries and text-study, might profitably beg iven to read- ing the text aloud, without note or comment. A work of art slowly discloses its full meaning, and familiarity with it is the first condition of comprehension. —Hamilton W. Mabie. —_——_~++@o———_ Mr. Eagle to Leave.

Second Explosion Occurs in West Virginia Mine, Resulting in Death to Near Hundred Miners, Mostly Americans—Mine Had Just Been InSpect®d and Pro- nounced Safe Before Men Went Down—A Full Story of the Disaster. Huntington, Jan. 12.—A sec- onnexplosion is reported to have occured today in Lyck Branch Coal Mines. From 50 to 100 miners are saib to have been killed. Bluefield, Jan. 12.—Asa result of another explosion at the Lick Branch Mine at Switchback, about twenty miles from here, between 50 and 100 miners were killed this morning. The number may be greatly in- creased, as from 280 to300 miners were at work at the time and it had been ascertained, shortly before noon, how many servived. = It was onlylast Friday the las‘ body of a victim of the explosion of Dec. 28 was removed, after which the state mine inspectars declared the mine safe and wore could be re- vived. A majority of miners engag- ed to resume work were Americans. It was stated the mine was exam- ined this morning before the new shift went to work. Soon after work begun, however, the explosion oc- curred. At8o’clock this afternoon recue party had not been able toenter the wine on accoun} of the intense heat. It is thought that following the explosion the mine caught fire. The officials decline toestimate the number of dead. but at the pit mouth it is believed that 100 have perish- ed. Fresh air is how being forced into the mine. The miners place the blame on some “of the foreigners, who may entered the mine wite open lamps. —__+<+2-o——— From Kitchin’s Speech. The two following pieces are extracts from Governor Kitchin’s inaugural speech of yesterday: The peopje having ofter much agitation and full discussion rat- ified by a large majority state prohibition, the legislature should notseriously consider any proposition to repeal the prohi- bition law. No one doubts the right of the people to have their willin this matter duly, fairly, and earnestly empressed, to reign as thelaw of our state. Every good citizen. whether he ‘originally favored this law or opposed it should insist upon its honest and faithful en- forcement. : We congratulate the state that its manufacturing industries are emerg- ing form the shadow of the recent panic. While prices of some of our farm products have not been very greatly depressed during this period of general hard times, yet the low prices of the emportant crop of con- ton and peanuts wrought serious in- jury to large sections of the state. With the revival of business through- out the contry, which always follows panics, our state will reap her share ofbenefits State policies never yet caused a general panic, and state legislatures can do nothing to avert one.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches aad paims that afflict 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 and 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. Read of a remedy for xidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., Says: “For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my Kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ?? For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

You can’t start in to breed dollars in Jess time than it takes to hatch them any more than you can pull a hen off the nest before she has had a chance to incubate. In both cases you simply waste what has been in- vested. If you stop too soon you will get a rotten egg instead of a chicken. | Advertise something out of which. you may reasonably expect returns, and when you have found what to advertise, take care that you place your copy in a newspaper that can turn the trick. Don’t delude yourself with a china doorknob, and don’t confuse.a “rooster newspaper,” which spends its time cock-a-loruming, for | a “hen newspaper” that is too busy - hatching out dollars to“strut about : crowing. +e Kd h AP R A AL 4 oe 2 > eA ee sc n r e e te n OA s ea d DRAUCHON’S (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicage.} PRACTICAL BUSINESS COLLEGE (We also Teach by Mail) : = | Raleigh, Knoxville, Nashville, Cc se : lumbia or Washingt, Dc. | LHe Evening Mascot, 10cts. ida ss Ped Sessa ance ee ea sais: : peices 3 sie gh i i hat coe a ilar 2 se ea ea ate Tortured on a Horse. “For ten years I couldn’t ride a } horse without-being in torture from piles,” writes L.

Tine alone will tell whether the storm will break. i R€aSong for it. Reasons given for Taft’s alleged desire to break away from Roose- Velt are: That the president has mada a scapegoat of the republican party by making ugly intimations avainst eartain house leaders. For instance his recent, now famous, President Roosevelt charged that Congressmen Taw- ney and’ Smith were practically wholly responsible for” the ‘‘ac- tion against the interests of law- abiding people, and in itg effect of benefit only to lawbreakers.’’ Tawney and Smith dominate the committee, and are the ones the republican party selected to spend more than: a bil- ‘ion dollars of the people’s money tunually, all of which makes out a pretty clear cut ease against messave the G. O. P. That serious reaction of public Sentiment is impending against T. Ro as a result of alleged ques- tionable groundg for his charges against Senator Tillman. That unless Taft disclaims al- legiance to the president he must shoulder part of the responsibil- ity for the latter’s acts, and a cer- ‘ain proportion of adverse public Sentiment which may result. 2+.

Statesville Women Are Finding Re- lief at Last. It does seem that women have more than 2 fair share of the aches aad paims that afflict humanity; they must “keep uz.” 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 and 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. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak. Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and showed that my kidneys were at fault. I used a number of remedies but Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I procur- ed at Hall’s drug store, benefited me more than any of the others. I sin- cerely hope that other sufferers will give Doan’s Kidney Pilis a trial as I know they will act strictly up to their representations. ?? For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Workmen Who Are Encircled by Death in Gallons and Tons. So thoroughly deceptive is dynamite in the making that you are apt to be disappointed on viewing the surface of things. You could more readily fancy thunderbolts leaping and crash- ing from tender blue skies than that the most fearful forces in creation are hidden under such a peaceful exterior. Nitroglycerin, a cupful of which would distribute you over square miles of landscape, is diligently mixing around you in hundreds and thousands of gal- lons. It is making itself in big iron retorts, cascading down leaden gutters and merrily tumbling in minute Niagaras tnto immense vats, where the deli- quescent yellow peril pursues its jour- ney powderward. Out of one recep- tacle it fares furiously through special lead coils, driven only by cooling blasts of air, and is drawn off like draft ale and piped on to the next perfecting stage. Gaze with the nitroglycerin ex- pert into one of those big caldrons. The interior is brilliantly illuminated by electricity, the only illuminating agency permitted in or about the dan- ger houses. Around you are other houses at uni- form distances apart and connected by a sertes of narrow gauge tracks wherein workmen are railroading ni- troglycerin from here and pulp cotton from there to be compounded into dy- Ramite and blasting gelatin. Greatest care is taken in rolling the product from house to house. As soon as a loaded cart is ready to pass out of the nitroglycerin house, for instance, a semaphore signals from an adjoining station, to which the consignment is carefully hurried. Around you are long storehouses packed with pulp in tons of innocent whiteness. Presently this pulp will as- sume a tan color under the nitrating process, and then, suddenly becoming carbonite, red cross, hercules, judson and giant powder, forcite or what you order, it develops the quasi virtues of @ynamite—dynamite or blasting gela- tin in which more natural forces are condensed to the cubic inch than exist anywhere else in creation. Death, curbed and sleeping, encircles you in gallons and tons. Annihilation threat- ens at every turn in the form of poten- tial pulverizing forces. But the man and the mercury kre there also, alert, tesponsive, reliable—Leslie’s Weekly. LIBRARY SLOW POKES. Time Killing Methods of Officials In Continental Europe. “Americans who grumble about hav- ing to wait a long time for books when applying to a public library,” said a Boston literary woman, “should try to work or study in a foreign library, par- ticularly in Germany. “The typical continental librarian takes no account of time. The reader, worker or student must turn in his or her-application for books at least a day fn advance. The men who search for the books applied for are aged, totter- fing creatures who have been shuffling asound the dusty piles of books for years, and the word hurry is not in their vocabulary. “The most priceless books and man- uscripts are kept in places which are perfect fire traps, and disorder pre- dominates in every department. When you speak about the impossible meth- ods employed the librarians tell you that they are too poor to introduce any modern indexes or catalogues. This is to some extent so, but as a matter of fact they would not change if they hed all the money in the world at their “They do not wish to encourage the common people to use books. The learned are among the aristocracy, and the spread of the knowledge which is hidden in those wonderful literary mu- geums is far from the purpose of the men at the head of Europe’s libraries. “There may be some delay in our li- braries, but our people in the lower walks of life are certainly ahead of the common people of the old world in the matter of getting books when they want them, and generally free of charge.”—New York Telegram. The Town to Be Born In. In the German town of Klingenberg, near Aschaffenberg, Bavaria, in addi- tion to having no rates to pay for the upkeep of the town, those actually ‘Dorn fn the parish receive from the municipality a sum of £12 15s. a year. This sum, if invested regularly at, say, 8 per cent, would entitle the owner to Feeive about £1,500 at the age of sixty —~a very handsome old age pension. Were it not necessary that the inhab- itants should prove birth in the parish before becoming entitled to this pay- ment the popularity of Klingenberg as a place of residence would doubtless be enormous.—Westminster Gazette. For Bargain Day. “She's no lady!” “Why, I always thought her most re- fined.“ “On the surface, yes.

Hard Times. Ithaca, Jan. Wilcox, University, who as consulting statistician of the State Depart- ment of Health has studied di- vorce, told a Cornell Bible class: “I do not think it can be de- monstrated that there has been @ lowering of morals in this country due to the increase cf divorce nor do I believe that the 11.

And no country has gone so far as the United States, especially the Western portion. ‘Since 1867 one and a quarter millions divorces have been granted in this country. The rate of increase has been almost unchecked and uniform. Durisg periods of business depression the rate has fallen, probably due to the fact that it eostabout $50 to securea divorce and parties desir.ng seperation would not feel like usicg the money st suc atime.

This is to certify that for two years my health was so nearly de- stroyed from disease of liver, kid- ney and stomach terminating in Sciatic Rheumatism I was compelled to abandon labor, though I had been treated by several physicians and taken many remedies I received no permanent relief until I was induc- ed to try Dr. John F. Foard’s New discovery for kidney and Liver dis- ease and his valuable liniment for neuralgia and Rheumatism which restored me to perfect health in a few months. L. A. DAVIS, Red Hill Franklin County, April 30th, 1889. Olin, N. C., July 4th 1889. To all whom it may concern: I hereby testify that the _ certificate given Dr. J. F. Foard by L. A. Davis is correct. While on a visit to me, he was indeed in a sad condition and had about dispared of ever being cured. I did not, myseif expect him New Discovery. “The New Discovery,” a medicine by Dr. John F. Foard, advertised in no hesitation in saying that he has always sustained the reputation of a high toned Christian gentleman, and a physician of merit. whose word might be accepted without the shadow of a doubt. We trust his new discovery will prove a valuable addition in the healing art. What the editor of the Salisbury Truth of Sept. 18th, 1890, says of us: “The New Discovery,” a remedy for diseases of the kidneys, liver and other internal organs, by Dr. John F. Foard we doubt not is one of the best medicines for the organs named now in_ use. For many years the Dr. was nigh unto death, but during the time, when able to study or work, (living in a section of country were medicinal herbs were abundant) he experimented on himself by preparations distilled from these vegetable roots. The re- sult is a permanent cure. He is now in perfect health. Not only so, but his preparation has effected sim- ilar cures for thirty five years. He has always borne an irreproachable character.

The Observer is privileged to print the following letter of the 6th inst., | from Dr. J. J. Mott tothe president: President Theodore Roosevelt, White House. Washington D.C: Dear Mr. President: I see in the newspapers that Mr. E. C. Duncan, the national committeeman for this state, is urging the apointment of Judge S. B. Adams, chairman of our state republican committee, for judge of the eastern district of North Car- olina. ° If you knew Adams as he is known you—Theodore Roosevelt— would not appoint him, even if he lived in the district, no matter who recommended him. I would be glad in this Connection to have you re- member him now, for if he is ap- pointed you will wonder, as the gauntlet is run, how you came to trust certain men in the past, Ceriain big corporations, doing business in North Carolina want a corrupt judiciary. These influ- ences xre responsible for Mr. Duncan and his elevation. The party organ- ization has been consiructed on lines laid down by these corporations. The politicians of the republican party in the state are subject to the dictation of this constructed power, and keep their mouth closed. If Adams is appointed judge, Duncan will be state chairman. This is why the republican party has grown steadily weaker for twelve years. With a break of 50,000 voters from the ranks of the demo- cratic party to the ranks of the re- publican party, giving 40,000 popu- lar majority and senators and con- gressmen galore, we had nothing left two years ago. This year the state organization was practically inert. Its passive quality and apparent acquiescence in the home policies of the dominent wing of the democratic party, BotB parties refusing to adopt the usual lical self-government plank in their platforms, together with the dissatis- faction of business Cemocrats with the Bryan policies, resultedi n the big republican vote Tt is only through the dent vote now that this anti-demo- cratic strength can be maintained, and this is the point for future use to make the state republican. Ab- soiutely the North Carolina case rests on this pivot. If for no other reason, the organization should be turned down to build the party up. Mr. President, above all things you are great in afforded opportuni- ty—none so great, I think, in the history of the country.

You can start it by setting aside the recommenda- tions of this organization in North Carolina which has tried to keep the party small, and paralyzed the heart of the party itself and disgusted the home—a decent place to enter. This independent element is the upper strata of society in this state. It has money and _ brains, in which the republican party in the south is lacking—two essentials in governing any community. How necessary, therefore, that those high judicial places should be filled by suitable men who have the confidence and re- spect of the wealth and intelligence of the community. These people are protectionists who have voted ‘“‘in social order” as a habit. But this tariff revision talk scared tijem, and many voted the re- publican ticket in this state, fear- ing to leave the protection principle to bé taken care of entirely by the republican north. With this change of feeling toward protection in the middle and northwest, and the for- eign population increasing there, Pie south will be ultimately needed to preserve our national interests, there being here nothing but a purely American population outside the negro, = I hope the tariff will be handled with care. and that the south, with its heavily increased and increasing manufacturing interests will recefVé the same benefit from protection that dence, is to appoint to the offices men of both parties who represent it, and in this Way create a respected leadership.

With the presidential lection nearly two months past the ex- citement attending thereon has died away. Every instrument, every news getting agency and every being who is directly con- eerned in getting results on elec- tion day and night are kept on the qui vive. Press associations, Wewspaper correspondents, news tickers and every other news get- ting agency make supreme ef- forts to be first in gttting returns before the public. The extent this competition reaches, the intensity of the rivalry and the means em- ployed to get the results first are hardly believable to one who has not, directly or indirectly, been a participant. In the presidential election of 1908 this rivalry was unprec- dented. The utmost efforts wree put forth and unusually large ex- penditures of money were made to score what in newspaper par- lance are known as ‘‘beats.’’ In the late campaign the plum for the most efficient, feasible and satisfactory way of getting com- plete and authentie returns, went to an agency which a few years ago was considered impracticable and too expensive. Thi, ageney was tho tclephone. Some years ago the telephone companies gave out their bulletins direct in the large cities. In the last election they gave them to the mewspapers, who, in turn, gave them to the publie over the delephone or on sereens. In these large cities extra stations and lineg were installed in newspa- per offices without extra charge. The completeness and acecuracy of the telephone companies’ bulle- tins takien in conjunction with the smooth manner in which they handleq the extra rush of busi- ness have prompted the various newspapers throughout the coun- try, who enjoyed the benefit of the service, to give liberal credit to the telephone companies. The Philadelphia Times, a new evening paper, in expressing its appreciation says: This is the firtt time we have received anything without paying for it since we have been in business.”’ The BaltimoreWold says: ‘‘The (telephone) service was perfect an enabled us to put a most com- plete ‘‘extra’’ on the street by 8 o’clock than ever before.’’ Although the bulletins of the telephone company were first at hand in nearly evry instance, thie accuracy of the reports was not sacrificed to obtain this result. In so far as possible every bul- letin was rigidly censured. Wild eat guesses, prophecies baseq on hearsay, ete., wre eliminated. Consequently the bulleting had a real value. Department heads and_ traffic officials of. the telephone com- panies are elated at the highly successful outcome of this rigid test cf their system. As a roult cf the work it performed, stacks of letters are cerefully filed in the texecutive office complimen- tary to the efficiency of the or- ganizations. Other tests the telephon has been subjected to would make in- teresting 1eading. For instance. during the pennant winnig yam¢s at Detroit last fall the city was base ball made. During the last two weeks of the season enthu- siasm of th ‘‘fans” was bubbling over with every game. The cli- max reached on th pnnant win- ning Tuesday, however. The telephone exchanges were be- seiged with enquiries. To prepare for the emergency the telephone companies organiz- ized buletin squads whose only dutis were to answer baseball en- quiries. The large number of young ladies who comprised these squads handled in some cases over 7,000 calls an hour, or, in other words, some operators handled about seven “calls a minute, al- though each one insisted they handled about three times as many. One operator on that me- morable day handled, by actual count, twenty-one calls a minute from an outside exchange, appar- ently without confusion. This was at the rate of 1,200 an hour. These are but two instances out of many that are happening day after day which prove that the telephone hag become our most in- dispensable servant. It is becom- ing a necessity in every home and office, whether in town, city or country. It is lock-st2pping with progress at every stride. These two instances also serve telephone is used, and also tends to show the dependence the gen- eral public places upon it. But to get a definite idea of the growth in popularity of the tele- phone and the increase in the number in use, one should take note of the growth of the Western Electrie Company, the principal manufacturers of telephone sup- plies in this country. In 1902 velephones shipped by this com- pany numberd one million and a quarter, in 1904 a million and a half and in 1906 two million and a quarter, an increase in five years of a million telephones, or ap- proximately over 80 per ent. ———_++@>- o—___-- Get us five, only five new yearly subscribers to the Evening Mascot and we will PRESENT you with a handsome 42-piece dinner set.

The only thing she did get was ex- ber1ence. “china doorknob propositions” —ex- amples of merchants who expect good newspapers to hatch money out of bad egg business, or who put sound nest hen.” There are three principles to fol- low in an advertising campaign: First of all, find a buszness that will stand advertising; secondly, find the newspaper that will make the adver- tising pay; thirdly, give the news- paper time to pay. You can’t start in to breed dollars them any more than you can pull a hen off the nest before she has had a chance to incubate. In both cases you simply waste what has been in- vested. If you stop too soon you chicken. and when you have found what to advertise, take care that you place your copy in a newspaper that can with a china doorknob, and don’t spends its time cock-a-loruming, for crowing.

P. PARKS, M. D. Olin, N. C.. Aug. 7th 1889. This is to certify that for two years my health was so nearly de- Stroyed from disease of liver, kid- ney and stomach terminating in Sciatic Rheumatism 1 was compelled to abandon labor, though I had been treated by several physicians and ; taken many remedies I received no permanent relief until I was induc- ed to try Dr. John F. Foard’s New discovery for kidney and Liver dis- ease and his valuable liniment for neuralgia and Rheumatism which restored me to perfect health in a few months. L. A. DAVIS, Red Hill Franklin County, April 30th, 1889. Olin, N. C., July 4th 1889. To all whom it may concern: I hereby testify that the certificate given Dr. J. F. Foard by L. A. Davis is correct. While on a visit to me, he was indeed in a sad condition and had about dispared of ever being cured. I did not, myself expect him to live many months, in a letter from him several months later than his certificate, he says he is in per- fect health and as stout as ever he was in his life. He is satisfied that Dr. Foard’s medicine saved his life. Very respectfully, B. F. RIVES. This is to certify that I have been an invalid for many years, have taken « great deal of medicine, grew worse until general dropsy set in, aud was scarcely able to walk when I was induced to try Dr. John F. Foard’s Liver and Kidney remedy. It soon restored me to my usual health and improved my digestion greatly—tIn fact I never received as much benefit from any other medi- cine and at so little cost. My wife is now taking it for female disease to great advantage and I shall con- tinue to keep it in my house and | heartily recommend it to all afflict- ed with disease of the internal or- Sans. CALVIN BOWLES. Olin, N. C., Oct., 34, 1889. This is to certify that for several years past my family have been hav- ing chills in the fall season until this when we were exempted or es- caped them by the use of Dr. John EF. Foard’s New Discovery for dis- eases of the internal organs which I believe to be a ~ery fine tonic also. And that his remedy for Nasal Ca- tarfrh has also been used by a mem- ber of my family to great advant- age. MRS. JOHN DAVIDSON. Statesvile Township, Iredell Co. N. C., Nov. 12, 1889. This is to certify that I have known Dr. J. F. Foard the last 30 years. Through all these years he has been an active member of the church, most of the time in office, and is now superinvendent of the Sunday school at Olin, N. C. I re- ;Sard him as incapable of offering the afflicted 1 remedy which he does not fully believe will accomplish what he says it will. R. G. BARRETT. N. C. Conference M. E. Church. October 15th, 1889. Col. A. B. Galloway of Elkin, N. C., after testing it writes: I think your new discovery is a very fine tenic and certainly a good medicine. James M. Davis, B. A., of Olin Al- liance writes: I think your medicine is doing my wife a great deal of good. It is certainly a good medi- cine. J. T. Drumright of Statesvile, N. C. writes: Your New Discovery is all and more than you claim for it. H. Hayes of Brushy Mountain, P. O. Wilkes Co., N. C. writes: Your six bottles of Great Southern Rem- edy sent and taken by my wife did more for her than all the medicine sht ever took before. See what two Editors who have huown the proprietor for more than a third of a century says. The fol- lowing taken from the Salisbury, N. ©. Watchman of July 21st 1888. New Discovery. “The New Discovery,” a medicine by Dr. John F. Foard, advertised in this paper, is offered to the public by that gentleman with great confi- dence of its virtues. We have known the Doctor for many years (before and since the war) and have no hesitation in saying that he has always sustained the reputation of a high toned Christian gentleman, and a physician of merit. whose word might be accepted without the shadow of a doubt. We trust his new discovery will prove a valuable addition in the healing art. What the editor of the Salisbury Truth of Sept. 18th, 1890, says of us: “The New Discovery,” a remedy for diseases of the kidneys, liver and other internal organs, by Dr. John F. Foard. we doubt not is one of the best medicines for the organs named now in _ use. For many years the Dr. was nigh unto death, but during the time, when able to study or work, (living in a section of country were medicinal herbs were abundant) he experimented on himself by preparations distilled from these vegetable roots. The re- sult is a permanent cure. He is now in perfect health. Not only So, but his preparation has effected sim- ilar cures for thirty five years. He has always borne an irreproachable character. Honorable, honest and truthful, what he says may be re- lied upon. 2 Olin, Iredell County_ N. C. September 25th, 1890. In addition to my c<uccess with my Great Southern Remedy (for four years) I have been enabled by a kind providence to prepare from other native vegetable herbs a Rem- edy for Nasal Catarrh, one for Ery- Sipelas, Tetter, litch, Poison-oak. bites of insects, warts, corns, and other skin diseases. One for Coughs and Colds. A valuable Liniment for Rheumatism anda Horse and Cattle Powder. Having retired from the regular practice of medicine will devote entire time and talents to the careful preparation of , these different remedies. Read and cir- culate. JOHN F. FOARD, Proprietor.

The county commissioners met in vecial session today in the court n at the court house to decide the nsion of the macadam road and jail question. A large number of country people present and the good roads question is causing more _ interest never before in the history of the county. \fter several petitions were pre- nted and the subject discussed much, the commissioners finally ed to work one mile on each of roads (Turnersburg and Jones- ie) and if the peopie on said is will furnish rock, ete. they vill go farther. It is distinctly un- ? derstood that the county does not bind itself to build any certain amount or distance of road. It de- nds entirely upon the amount of » given by the people. With this agreement, it is seen that it is up to the people to work, the more they help, the more road they will get. .

Greensboro, Jan. 16. —That Dis- trict Attorney Holion is preparing for a vigorous war against the re- publican organization Which is after his scalp, is the tip given out by we informed authorities here today. It is said that the district attor- ney is smarting under the rain of epithets which deluged him at the directors’ meeting yesterday, and he has declared his intention of “fi fight- ing back.” It is stated today that ahe names which were applied to Mr. Holton, “‘out-Roosevelt, Roosevelt”; indeed, most of them, it is said, would not look well in prfat. On the other hand those who op- pose Mr. Holton’s methods condemn him severely for the t tactics employ- ed by him to force The Industrial News into permanent receivership. They denounce the letter, which he is alleged to have written to Presi- dent-elect Taft, via Marion Butler, as “small business,” and express much astonishment that the district attor- ney could have allowed himself to make statements therein which he knew, it is said, were not borne out by facts. Meanwhile the “organization” is whetting its knives for Mr. Holton’s scalp, anda determined effort will be made to remove him from office before the advent of Mr. Taft to the presidential Taft. The reason for hasty action is ome ious as it is point- ed out that the relations between the president-elect and the district attor- ney are cordial. —_———~ +1 _ Was a Statesville Man. li- A dispatch of January 13 from Spencer stated that Mr. J.

Before the arrival of ees elover did not flourish in d , but after their coming the farmers had no more difficulty n that score. Mr. Darwin had vm that bumblebees were the nly insects fond of clover nectar which possessed a proboscis suffi- iently long to reach the bottom of long, tubelike flowers and at he same time a body heavy enough to bend down the clover head so that the pollen would fall on the in- sect’s back and thus be carried off to fertilize other flowers of the same species. The bumblebees sent to Australia cost the farmers there about half a dollar apiece, but they proved to be worth the price. : The Very Earliest Coins.

A Pretty Fancy Is the Legend of Its S Fairy Origin. Jnce upon a time there lived in China two orphan brothers. The elder brother, not satisfied with having inherited the larger share of the parental estate, seized the most valle pert of ae younger’s, leay- ing him but a few acre a ee The younger brother bore the grecdiness of the elder one until he was finally overcome with poverty and hunger. Then, in great despair, he threw himself upon the ground and lay there sobbing and bewailing his cruel fate. Suddenly he heard a sweet voice calling his name. Opening his eyes, he saw a fairy bending over him, who bade him arise, saying: “Thy patience and forbearance have been noticed, and now great shall be thy reward. Thou shalt find riches and fame beneath the soil where thy head but a moment ago rested. ‘To reach the treasure will be no easy task, but be patient Rest not until thou hast found that which shall cause thee to be honored and loved for a thousand generations.” Then the fairy vanished, and the young man rubbed his eyes and looked about him. His rocky groura was still there, and he was jubitant with a newborn courage and hope With resolute will he applied him- self to the task of finding the buried treasure. For many days he dug faithfully, and finally he found a flower bulb. Believing in the fairy’s promise, he planted the bulb and nourished it until from it there grew a flower more delicately sweet and fair than had ever before been seen. Hundreds of people came to see the new flower. Other bulbs sprang from its roots, and the young man’s mame and his bulb patch soon be- came famous. Riches and. honor came to him because, strange as it may seem, the flower would not grow in any other part of China, and thousands came to buy from him. He named his treasure the “Shuey Seen Fah,” or flower of the water fairy, a name that it has ever since borne, though in common par- lance it is known simply as the Chi- nese lily. The Oldest Golfers. The Royal Blackheath Golf club is the oldest golf club in England, and it also claims to be the oldest existing golf club in the world. It was founded by James I. in 1608. For two or three centuries before that time golf had been a popular game in Scotland, but there is no record of any club having been es- tablished prior to the Blackheath club. In 1457 the Scottish parliament assed an act enjoining that “fute ball and golfe be utterly eryit downe and nocht usit.” A similar act was passed in May, 1491. The Royal and Ancient Golf club at St. Andrews is one of the most famous in the kingdom. It was in- stituted in 1754, a silver cup having been played for in May of that year. In 1834 William IV. became patron of the club and approved of its be- ing in future styled “the Royal and 5 Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews” and presented a gold medal to be played for annually. Striking an Average. The children were not allowed in the kitchen, but nobody had ever forbidden their sniffing outside the door to catch the delicious odors which could be obtained by a close application of a small nose to a crack. ‘Why, Ethel,” said Mrs. Har- wood, who discovered them in the entry outside the kitchen door one Sunday morning, “why are you twitching Tommy and slapping him ?” “Cause he isn’t playing fair, mother,” said Ethel. “He’s had five smells and I’ve only had four, and it’s my turn.” “I am, too, playing fair,” asserted Tommy, his utterance smothered as he again applied his nose to, the crack. “Pve got an awful cold, and I can’t smell half as much as she ean!” She Knew. A Washington man, while visiting a friend’s place in Virginia, became much interested in his experiments in frait culture. Ore day the visitor was making the rounds of the place, being 1D charge of the friend’s young daugh- | ter of ten, who acted as guide. “This tree seems to be loaded with apples,” observed the Washing- tonian, indicating a particularly fine specimen. Z “Yes, sir,” assented the little girl; “father says this is a good year for apples.” : “T am glad to hear that,” said the visitor. “Are all your trees as of apples as this one?” “No, sir,’ explained -the girl, “only the apple trees.” —Harper’s Weekly.

Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian Knot. ‘It can’t be untied,” they told him; “every man who tried to do it fell down.’’ But Alexander was not discouraged because the rest had flunked. He simply realized that he would have to go at it in a different way. And instead of wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. : Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer- chant who doesn’t waste time trying to accomplish the impossible—who takes lessons from the jazlures about him and avoids the methods which were their downfall. The knottiest problems in trade are: 1—The problem of location. 2—The problem of getting the crowds. 3—The problem of keeping the crowds. 4—The problem of minimizing fixed expenses. _ 5—The problem of creating a valuable good will. None of these knots is going to be untied by fum- bling fingers. They are too complicated. They’re all involved together—twisted and entangled over and about each other—so intertwined that they can’t be solved singly—like the Gordian Knot they must be cut through at one stroke. And you can’t cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper—-because: 1—A store that is constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2—Crowds can be brought from anywhere by daily advertising. - 3—Customers can always be held by induace- ments. 4—-Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in- _ creasing the volume of sales. 5—Good will can only be created through pub- licity. : Advertising is breeding new giants every year and making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and the only strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re- tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of opportunity slips by. Personal abilityas a close purchaser and as a clever seller doesn’t count for a hang so long as other men are equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie your business intoconstantly closer knots, while you cannot retaliate because there is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer—today they took one—tomorrow they'll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven’t the weapon with which to oppose it. Youcan’t untie yourGordian | Knot because it can’t be untied—you’ve got to cut it. You must become an advertiser or you must pay the penalty of incompetence. 3 You not only require the newspaper to fight for a _ more hopeful tomorrow, but to keep today’s situation from becoming hopeless.

Anderson; S. C.. Jan. 17.—A pros- perous farmer of Buiioadaway town- ship called at the Farmers and Mer- chants’ Bank the other day and pre- sented a little brown jug, stopped with a small, red corncob. “If you’ll get what’s in it,” he told Mr. E. P. Vandiver, the cashier, “I'll let you keep it for me.’? The cashier had known the man all fof his life and could not imagine what he meant. “I thought at first,’ he said, “that he was about to invite me to take a ‘nip,’ but that if this really were his intention, he was exceeding- ly bold about it.’? He shook the jug, and there was no sound of liquid—nor of anything, flor that matter. The cob was then removed and a crisp $10 bill was disclosed in the very mouth of the vessel. “I knew then what was up,” said Mr. Vandiver, ‘‘and I told him I could get it out, alright. I threw the jug to the floor intending to break ate but it wouldn’ t break. Then I start- ed tor a, hammer. “But before I got to the rear of the bank, some of the boys took a hand, and the bills, ranging from $1 to $50 in dertomination, were fished out, one by one, until $1,000 was brought forth. It was the most novel way of hand- ling money I.had ever seen.” Mr. Vandiver has tucked the little brown jug away in his office and says he expects to keep it “just as a souve- nir.”’ —~ —__.9~<>- WILL RUN KNITTING MILL.

King began work this afterroon in the hosiery department of the. state prison in Boston and will yin a Knitting machine. Yes- ‘erduy he spent in solitary confi-< ment, but he bore the ordeal. He had some remarkable and trying ex- periences today. He r.se early ate the prison breakfast and then un- derwent physical examination to de- termine what kind of labor he could do. When it came to providing the prisoner with the regulation uni- fiorm it was found that he still would wear made-to-order clothes. He is a large man, weighing about 275 pounds, and'there was no suit in the prison outfit large enough. ———_1+ 2 Was for Some One Else.

In shaking hands, people who are full of life, spirit and good will never aliiow the hand to lie limp in that of the other party, but when they shake hands. they do it as though they meant the spirit as well as the letter of the custom. There. should always be a difference, how- ever, between the whole-souled “shake” and the deadly grip which occasions pain. A friendly pressure fof the hand puts your visitor or chance acquaintance at his or her ease, leaving no doubt as to your disposition toward him. To most men and women, 2 firm warm, friend- ly grasp of the hand is more expres- sive of character than the iowest bow or most flattering words. a ——_—_—_—_3<4?-e—______ Engineer and Four Killed.

A well known physician of this city has asked the Maiscot to ask people to answer door belils when they are rung, or connect them up-so they will ring. The physician in question says it takes longer to get people to the door to get into house than it does to examine the patients. He says he does not know exactly what the trouble is, but wants it ufderstood that doctors are not agents, and should not be treated as such. He said that in one instance he went to a house in the city in { answer to a call and stood ringing the door bell for near fifteen minutes. Finding that of no avail he used his knuckles until they were soy, and then his knife. But still no one came. = Finally getting very desperate, he began kicking the door with his foot, ,and it was hurriedly opened by .the leas’ corrup’, sah—de leas’ corrup’, was dangerously hurt and five mail {ocecupants of the house, who feared = Durham Has A Big, Fire $40,000 INSURANCE IS CARRIED. Municipal Building Burned Entailing a Big Loss to Insurance Companies. Besides the City Offices, the Build- ing was Used as a Market House and Theater. | Durham, Jan. 18.—A _ fierce and quick fire yesterday morning about three o’clock destroyed the municipal building, the fire originating on or under the stage of the operahouse on the second floor and quickly spread- ing over the building. The total loss is estimated at $50,000, with insur- ance amounting to more than $40,000 as full insurance is allowed public buildings. There is no Goubt but that the fire tarted on the stage or in the dress- ing rooms in the stage from a defec- tive flue. From the material furn- ished by the stage, dressing rooms and the equipment of the scenery loft the blaze went quickly to the main auditorium, and even before the fire- men were called | there was a blaze that lighted up much of the town. There was insurance of $40,000 on the building and the walls, all of pressed brick, are saved. The vaults were also saved and it is thought that the loss will cover the loss of the city. The firemen were quickly on the scene and eight streams of water were used. There was a strong wind and nothing could be done to stop the fire, the steamer streams only assist- ed the other six to confine the fire and kill it down in time to save all the city records. Not a single citp paper was lost, all being saved by the massing of water to protect vault and safes. Today all “the papers and books were taken from the safes in good condition and removed to Other vaults and safes. The city clerk, his asistants and the city tax collector will have offices in the commitsioners room at the courthouse for the pres- ent. Tonight the board of city al- dermen is meeting in this room. Arrangements will be made at once for a temporary_ market and a tem- porary meeting place for the al@er- men and offices for the clerk, assist- ant clerk and the collector. ——_4++@ > A Change for the Better. The life-long domicile of an old lady was situated several feet south of the dividing line of Virginia and North Carolina, and when that sec- tion of the country was re-surveyed it was discovered that the line ran 2 few feet south of the property in question. They -broke the news to the old lady that from then on she was to be a resident of Virginia. “That’s good,’? she exclaimed; “I’ve always heard that North Carolina was an unhealthy state to live in.’’ Ee A NATURE FREAK. Striped in the Legs Like Its Pa and the Pajamas Its Mamma Ate. Washington | Jan. 17.—Its father a zebra and its mother an ordinary Texas burro is the peculiar parentage of the latest baby born at the Expe- rimental Station here. The marking of its zebra father is retained in the legs, which are perfectly striped, but from the legs up the resemblance to its mother is more pronounced than a pure zebra’s, it is also darker than a burro’s. The ears are a combina- tion of the two but considerably smaller -than those of its Yurro mother. The father of this newest nature freak is the zebra which was sent to President Roosevelt some time ago from North Africa and which was turned over by him to the govern- ment. Dr. Schroeder of the Experi- mental station, imported the burro from Texas. The burro had been at the station only a few days when she devoured a suit of Dr. Schroeder’s pajamas which were hanging on a clothes line. 40-6 Train Kills Mules; Men Ride on Pilot Chicago, Jan. 18.—Two balky mules nearly cost the lives of two passengers when atrain struck their. }eart yesterday.

Last session congress appropriated $122,622,45. for the navy. The ap- propriation bill reported to the house Saturday by the naval affairs commit- tee authorizes the expenditure of $135,662 888, an increase of 10 per cent. If the senate follows its rule of padding the bill—it added over $17,000,000 to the house Dill last year—the hearts of the jingoes will be still further gladdened. The appropriations for the navy in 1903, five years after the war with Spain, were $78,256,363, less than 60 per cent, of the sum the house pro- poses to. spend next year. In the seven years 1903-1909 the navy has cost $662.265,000, over two-thirds of a billion dollars ‘and the annual cost from year to year rises by leaps and bounds. The total appropria- tions for the navy during the entire second Cleveland administration were $15,000,000 less than for the one year covered by the appropriation inade by congress last spring. The whole influence of the admin- istration has been for a bigger navy, for more, bigger and costlier battle- ships, for more officers and men and for more pay.

Not long ago the former secretary of a justice of the ‘New York supreme court committed suicide on his seven- tieth birthday. “The Statute of Limitations; a Brief Essay on the Osler Theory of Life,’ was found beside the dead body. It read, in part: “Three score and ten—this is the Seriptural statute of limitations. After that, active work for man ceases—his time on earth has ex- pired.... “T am seventy—threescore and ten —and I am fit only for the chimney corner. ar This man had dwelt so long on the so-called Osler theory—that a man is practically -useless and tonly a bur- den to himself and the world after sixty—and the Biblical limitation of life threescore years and ten, that he would enf it all on his seventieth birthday. Leaving aside Dr. Osler’s theory, there is no doubt that the acceptance in a strictly literal sense of the Bibli- cal life limit has proved a decided in- jury to the race. We are powerfully influenced by our self-implosed limita- tions and convictions, and it is well known that many people die very near the limit they set for them- selves. Yet there is no probability that the Psalmist had any idea of setting a limit to the life period, or that he had any authority whatever flor so doing. Many of the sayings in the Bible which people take so lit- erally are merely figures of speech to illustrate an idea. So far as the Bi- ble is concerned, there is just as much reason for setting the life limit at one hundred and twenty or even at Mathuselah’s age (nine hundred and sixty-nine) as at seventy or eighty. There is no evidence in the Scriptures that even suggests the existence of an age limit beyond which man was niot supposed or allowed to pass. In fact, the whole spirit of the Bible is to en- courage long life through sane and healthful living.—Orison Swett Mar- den in Success Magazine. ——_—F-<¢§. > — —_—_—. Life 100,000 Years Ago.

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 and 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. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. M.L Moose, living at 209 Boulevard St., Statesville, N. C., says: “For several years I was a vic- time of weak kidneys. I had a soreness across these organs most of the time and I generally felt weak.

Floor at Night Sessions PHONE NO. 323 FALKS ON ADVERTISING—NO. 6 How Alexander Untied the Knot. By Herbert Kaufman. Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian Knot. “It can’t be untied,” they told him; ‘every man who tried to do it fell down.”’ But Alexander was not discouraged because the vest had flunked. He simply realized that he would have to go at it in adifferent way. And instead of wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer- chant who doesn’t waste time trying to accomplish the impossible—who takes lessons from the jfazlures about him and avoids the methods which were their downfall. The knottiest problems in trade are: 1—The problem of location. 2—The problem of getting the crowds. 3—The problem of keeping the crowds. 4—The problem of minimizing fixed expenses. §—The problem of creating a valuable good will. None of these knots is going to be untied by fum- bling fingers. They are too complicated. They’re all involved together—twisted and entangled over and about each other—so intertwined that they can’t be solved singly—like the Gordian Knot they must be cut through at one stroke. And you can’t cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper—-because: 1—A store that is constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2—Crowds can be brought from anywhere. by daily advertising. 3—Customers can always be held by induce- ments. 4—Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in- creasing the volume of sales. ; 5—Good will can only be created through pub- city. Advertising is breeding new giants every year and making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and the only strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re- tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of opportunity slips by. Personal ability as a close purchaser and as a clever seller doesn’t count for a hang so long as other men are equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie your business intoconstantly closer knots, while you cannot retaliate because there is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer—today they took ene—tomorrow they’ll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven’t the weapon with which to oppose it. You can’t untie your Gordian Knot because it can’t be untied—you’ve got to cut it. You must become an advertiser or you must pay the penalty of incompetence. You not only require the newspaper to fight for a more ‘hopeful tomorrow, but to keep today’s situation from becoming hopeless. {Copyright, 1908, by Trfbune Company, Chicago.)

The old man accused his sons with being too intimate with their sister. All of the evidence was horrible to relate. Deputy Sheriff Bumgardner, of Wilkesboro, came here today and took Greyson Crisp, a young white man accused of criminal assault upon a lady in Wilkesboro, back this afternoon. He was arrested on the train at Mooresville Junction last night upon advices from Wilkesboro.

The following is a summary of the Farmers’ Co-operative Demonstra- tion Work in Iredell county for the year 1908. Total demonstration on corn 53, and each demonstration is reduced to the product of one acre. The number of bushels grown on the 53 acres was 1,961, making an average yield of 37 bushels per acre, In making up the reports the yield of an acre cultivated in the ordinary way was included, and the total yeild of 53 acres was 970 bushels, or an average of 18 bushels per acre. This shows a difference of 19 bushels per acre in favor of demonstration meth- ods. This 1s One bushel more per acre than the average yield by ordi- nary cultivation. This is not all The average cost of producing a bush el of corn by the intensive method is found to be 24 cents, and that by the ordinary or common method is 34 cents, showing a_ difference of 10 cents per bushel Following up the comparison a little further, we find the following facts: The 37 bushels at 24 cents would cost $8.88 and 37° bushels at 70 cents, market price, would be worth $25.90, showing a clear gain of $17.02. On the - other hand 18 bushels at 34 cents would cost $612 and would bring on the market $12.60, showing a clear gain of $6.48 and a difference in net gain in favor of demonstration methods of $10.54. Say a farmer cultivates in the ordi- nary way 40 acres in corn and is rewarded with the average yield of 18 bushels per acre, he would have 720- bushels of corn that would have cost him $244.80 and he could sell Ate same corn for $504.00, and make a net profit of $259.20. That looks pretty well but let another farmer, neighbor to the above, with the same quality of land, take 20 acres and prepare and cultivate on the better methods. He wiil gather from his 20 acres 740 bushels of corn at a cost of $177.60, _ If he sells his corn it will bring him $518.00, and a net profit on the 20 acres of $240.40. Which is better $259.20 on 40 acres or $340.40 on 20 acres?. It will therefore be seen that 20 acres pro- duces 20 bushels more corn than the less, and ata nét profit of $81.20 greater, ~or a net difference of - however is only the apparent differ- ence, as there are 20 acres of land to be used for cotton purposes. It could be sown in peas or clover or it gather nitrogen for the next crop. It would be far better for the farmer to let it lie idle and grow a crop of weeds than to cultivate it, if the above figures are true, and I know they are true for Ihave gathered them with the greatest of care and made separate calculations for each acre counting every item of cost and allowing one-third the product of each acre for rent of land. Now, my> brother farmers, many sel-Defense $148.40 in favor of the 20 acres. This could be pastured with catle and thus — Cooper's Plea TRIAL BEGINS TODAY. An Able Array of Lawyers Will Pight Out the Case of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for the Murder of ExSSen- ator Carmack—Judge W. M. Hart to Preside, Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 19.— Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, his son, Robin Cooper; the ex-Sheriff John D. Sharp will be arranged in the criminal court here Wec- nesday morning for the killing of former Senator Edward W. Car mack. Judge W. M. Hart will preside at thetrial. An array of law- yers have been employea and the case promises to attract more attention than any trial in recent years. There was no serious differen- ees between the men until the re- cent cubernatorial campaign, when Carmack opposed Patter- son far the office. The issue was state-wide prohibition, with Car- mack advocating it and Patter- son opposing it. Carmack realiz- ed that he was beaten, but he was confident that prohibition would carry. The Patterson forces rallied to defeat this plan. Carmack’ as editor of The Tennessean, de- nounced these egorts, and criti- cised Colonel Cooper editorially. The latter, who managed Pat- terson’s campaign, sent word to Carmack that the attack must cease and warned Carmack against further attacks through the editorial columns of the pap- er. The next editorial that Car- niack wrote resulted in his death. It seems evident that the Coopers will plead self-defense. To Give a “Possum Super.” Mr, R. V.

I confidentially expect next year’s results to far outstrip closing. I insist that every farmer begin now, if he has not already done so, to follow improved methods in the management of his farm. It is a business and every farmer should recognize it as such. I have brought out these figures to attract your attention. They are not at all impossible, and next year I expect tosee them surpassed| I want to say here that if any farmer is interested in better farming, I would be pleased to get his name and address on a postal card, or if you see me on the street, stop me, and tell me your name.

Lexington, Jan. 18.—It 18 sel- dom that one hears of a person running so fast that he runs out of his shoes, but:such was actual- ly the case yesterday afternoon when Deputy Sheriff Harvey been arrested but who decided he had rather run across country than ride ia a buggy and be io the custody ofan officer of the law. Deputy Sheriff Johoson was given a warrant to serve on Lowe yesterday immediately af- ter church, and the deputy went to the place north of Lexington, where the negro was said to be. He found no trouble in gather- inz in his man,and the officer thought all was progressing fine when the negro suddenly sprang from the buggy and _ started across @ field. Deputy Johnson had a Colt’s, a six-shooter, and he blazed away six times at the fleeing negro, with each shot the negro’s speed increasing. Fail- ing to hit his man, the officer sprang from the buggy, leaving the horse in the road unhitched, and started in pursuit. He ran for several hundred yards, but the officer weighs about 250 end the negro is long and keen and it was not the first time he had ran for liberty, and it is needless to tell the result. Intherace the negro actually shed both shoes and being barefooted only en- abled him to run the swifter. Nothing has been heard of the negro since the exciting chase.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING—NO. 6 How Alexander Untied the Knot. By Herbert Kaufman. Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian Knot. ‘It can’t be untied,” they told him; “every man who tried to do it fell down.’ But Alexander was not discouraged because the rest had flunked. He simply realized that he would have to go at it in adijferent way. And instead of wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer- chant who doesn’t waste time trying to accomplish the impossible—who takes lessons from the failures about him and avoids the methods which were their downfall. The knottiest problems in trade are: 1—The problem of location. 2—The problem of getting the crowds. 3—The problem of keeping the crowds. 4—The problem of minimizing fixed expenses. 5—The problem of creating a valuable good will. None of these knots is going to be untied by fum- bling fingers. They are too complicated. They’re all involved together—twisted and entangled over and about each other—so intertwined that they can’t be solved singly—like the Gordian Knot they must be cut through at one stroke. And you can’t cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper—-because: 1—A store that is constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2—Crowds can be brought from anywhere by daily advertising. 3—Customers can always be held by induace- ments. 4—Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in- creasing the volume of sales. 5—Good will can only be created through pub- kcity. Advertising is breeding new giants every year and s making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and the only strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re- tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of opportunity slips by. Personal abilityas a close purchaser and as a Clever seller doesn’t count for a hang solong as other men are equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie your business intoconstantly closer knots, while you cannot retaliate because there is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer—today they took one—tomorrow they'll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven't the weapon with which to oppose it. You can’t untie your Gordian Knot because it can’t be umtied—you’ve got to cut it. You must become an advertiser or you must pay the penalty of incompetence. _ You not only require the newspaper to fight for a more hopeful tomorrow, but to keep today’s situation from becoming hopeless. {Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Philadelphia, Jan. dress in the rooms of the Children’s Aid Society, 1506 Arch street, Fred- erick S. Hall, secretary of the Penn- | sylvania Child Labor Association, } made the assertion that there are at least $000 children under 14 years of age working in Philadelphia. He said the number might be as high as 12,000. The cause of it he said, was the fact that no proof of a child’s age was required beyond the certificate of his parent. Mr. Hall drew attention to the large number of children engaged | in employment in Pennsylvania, fur- | nished in the report of John C. De- | lany, State factory inspector, as com-| pared with the records of New York State, and criticised the department | of factory inspection under Delany's | control.

President Roosevelt would not) benefit from the proposed increases, | because his term will have expired before the new appropriation is available . But the proposition to | make the presidential office more | remunerative may, it is stated, fur- nish an excellent chance for the sen- ate to expose Mr. Roosevelt’s alleg- ed extravagances during his occu- pancy of the White house.

It is essential in the trial that the direction from which the bullets came be determined. The defense asserts Carmack fired lirst. The state’s theory is that Car- mack, with his hat raised to greet a lady was shot from behind, and it appears that, some time between the date of the killing and the present time, Tire state, secretly at night, ex- humed the body of the slain editor and caused a careful post-mortem to be formed. _ The course of bullets thus was de- termined and the state claims to have proof the bullet which killed 480. and she has lived with her son in Mooresville since the death of her Mooresville. years ago.

This, however, does not entirely disprove the theory of the defense. Even the defense does not claim Col. Cooper fired the shots. It maintains that Robin Cooper, believing his father’s life was in danger, fired upon Carmack to protect his sire and it is not contended that young Coop- er stood elsewhere than behind Sen- ator Carmack. The sheriff reported to Judge Hart that summons for jurors and wit- nesses had been served and that nothing except objections of counsel stood in the way of the opening of what promised to be the most famous criminal trial in the history of Ten- nessee, Both sides announced readiness to proceed and Judge Hart Ordered a panel sworn.

To the Editor of the Mascot I noticed in the last issue of the Mascot that a bill would probably be drawn and sent down to the legisla- ture for passage, the object of which is to get an aditional tax levy of 10 cents on the $100.00 for road pur- | poses. = Now I am heartily in favor of building good roads and I consider it @ privilege to pay a tax each year for that purpose, but I-am Opposed to a }further iacrease in the road tax un- less we get an increase for the public schools. Our tax levy year is as fol- lows: State tax 25 cents on $100.00 valuation | general county purposes 23, roads 23 and for schools 18, mak- ing a total of 90 cents on the $100.00 The school levy is already 5 cents lower than for any other purpose and now to raise the road levy ten cents more, which will make it 33 cents, will make it out of all proportion as compared with the school levy, being nearly twice as much. Surely the education of our children should not be considered as of secondary import- ance, or inferior to any other object of taxation excepting the making and execution of our laws. Perhaps there is no other class of people, the importance of the posi- tion considered and the qualification required, as poorly paid as our school teachers. And then consider that they are employed only four months in the year. And then consider that the average length of term is less for Iredell cOunty than for the entire state; and the average price paid the teachers of Iredell county, both white and colored, is less than the average price for the entire state, and also the amount paid the county superint¢i- dent of fredell and the average cost of the public school houses built in the county are less than the respec- tive averages in the entire state. Considering these things am I not right in saying that the schools ought to get a part of any additional gerwood. CHARLES HENDERSON, aged 30, Netcong. _ JOSEPH SESTAK, agea 23, Hop- atconk Landing.

But the fragrance of the rose cannot last for- ever, neither can the enthusiasm for a new found toy (or joy as the case may be). The sage of Charlotte, The Observer, to whom all questions of philosophy, theology, science and are are as child’s play, would doubt- less insist that the philosopher to whom we have referred was a gour- mand who tricked womanhood into advantageous activity, but with that marvelous intuition which is denied to male bipeds, she ‘saw through it,’’ and divined that- greed, and not love appealed for attacks on the citadel of masculine affections. Thenceforth milady’s enthusiasm fell and the secrets of the kitchen were intrusted to foreign hands and hearts, with the result that milord’s digestion succumbed with but feeble resistance. The meals of today are prepared by female ‘‘mechanics” who have an eye to the economy of time rather than to the interests of their masters stomachs. With the withdrawal of her mistress’s rule from the realms of pots and pans,’’ “Bridget” became supreme and no one could say her nay. Alas, poor man, “science in the kitchen” may sound well in monthly magazines, but when you look for it in material form,—well,—what’s the use?—Asheville Citizen. a WORKING THE ROADS. Since the foundation of tha world or thereabouts the plan of working the public roads has been, by having every man; between the ages of 18 and 50 to put in so many days each year on the job, an overseer baing appointed who had charge of a sec- tion of road in his locaility. One could get rid of working when his day arrived by paying one dollar or by hiring a substitute. The whole thing has been an abject failure. practically from the day the law was passed, but it has been growing worse in this county since the con victs have been put to work on the roads. It has gone on until for the past few years nothing has been done under the old plan. The mag- istrates, whos. duty it is to see that Overseers summon men and work roads, will not enforce the law; they see that public opinion is against it and they stand still. With all these facts staring them in the face the board of county com- missioners have been trying to evolve some other plan, for the mac- adam roads first built need looking after as well as the improved dirt roads, and they have about agreed on a plan to work the roads by di- rect taxation, asking the legislature to pass an act enabling the county to vote on the proposition. The plan is to levy on the poll exclusively for road purposes. In this way the board will be enabled to employ men in each locality to do nothing but keep up these repairs and such other work as may be demanded_ It is estimated that gone man with a horse and cart can keep up from ten to twenty miles of road by devoting his entire time to it. Of course the plan will have opposition and may be de- feated if the right to vote on it is given. It can ba said, however, that something must be done, for the best roads in the county, built at much expense, are fast depreciating, not because of any fault in construc- tion, but simply bacause they are wearing away by use. A little work in time will save a great deal, for if left alone, they will be in a frightful condition in a few more years. Re- pairs are nécessary on a road as well as on a house or anything else. As we understand the matter the coun- ty. commissioners are not committed to the plan; they are simply dis- cussing it. Let the people think over it and be heard from.—Greens-| boro Record. Iredeli county is in about the same boat as Guilford and the idea is a splendid one. Our roads which have been partly macadamized, are washing away and getting in a hor- rible condition, scarcely any atten- tion being paid to them. These laws are all O. K, and should be passed.

Armed with a search warrant also sworn by Governor Haskell MacReynols’ room, at’ the Ione hotel, were searched by Sheriff John Mahoney and Orville T, Smith, private attoruey of the Governor, Papers were seized. They are said to be pertain to the $90’000 libel suit instituted by Governor Haskell agsinst Mr Hearst, MacReynolds immediately de- manded of the county court the whereabouts _of bis papers. They were in the private office of the Governor. They were turned over to the court. MacReynolds had collected a vast amount of data in conffn- ence.

Governor Aaskell said: “Mac- Reynols brs been in the state al- most constantly for!three months at times assisted by one or two other men from the East and by & certain person from Ohio and threefo fourr persons from our State. * Recently [learned that they were disappointed at not finding anything truthfull to use against me, whereupon they began offer- big somes of money to person to aid in manufacturing false state- ment.

Mr. Brown took $10 out of his pocketbook and handed it to Mrs. Brown with the :enark that there was $1LO toward the $20 he had promised her. Mrs. Brown handed the bill to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, say- ing, “That pays for my new bon- net.” Mrs. Andrews in turn gave it to Mr. Jordan, remarking that it would pay for the carpenter work he had done for her. Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. Handley. requesting his reveipt- ed bill for medicines used duriag the illness of his son. Mr. Handley gave the bill back to Mr. Brown, ‘“‘That pays 310 on board for my clerk.” Mr. Brown again passed it to Mrs. Brown, saying that he had now paid her the $20 he had promised her. She in turn paid Dr. Black to settle her dental account. Dr. Black handed it to Mr. Brown, who remarked that it settled his board. Whereupon Mr. Brown put it | back in his pocket, remarking that he had not supposed a greenback would go so far.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING—NO. 5 How Alexander Untied the Knot. By Herbert Kaufman. Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian Knot. “It can’t be untied,” they told him; ‘“‘every man who tried to do it fell down.”’ But Alexander was not discouraged because the rest had flunked. He simply realized that he would have to go at it in adijferent way. And instead of wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer- chant who doesn’t waste time trying to accomplish the impossible—who takes lessons from the jazlures about him and avoids the methods which were their downfall. The knottiest problems in trade are: 1—The problem of location. 2—The problem of getting the crowds. 3—The problem of keeping the crowds. 4—The problem of minimizing fixed expenses. 5—The problem of creating a valuable good will. None of these knots is going to be untied by fum- “pling fingers. They are too complicated. They’re all involved together—twisted and entangled over and about each other—so intertwined that they can’t be solved singly—like the Gordian Knot they must be cut through at one stroke. And you can’t cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper—-because: 1—A store that is constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2—Crowds can be brought from anywhere by daily advertising. ; 3—Customers can always be held by induce- ments. 4—Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in- creasing the volume of sales. } 5—Good will can only be created through pub- city. Advertising is breeding new giants every year and making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and the only strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re- tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of opportunity slips by. Personal ability as a close purchaser and as a Clever seller doesn’t count for ahangsolong as other men are equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie your business intoconstantly closer knots, while you cannot retaliate because there is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer—today they took one—tomorrow they’ll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven't the weapon with which to oppose it. You can’t untie your Gordian Knot because it can’t be untied—you’ve got to cut it. You must become an advertiser or you must pay the penalty of incompetence. You not only require the newspaper to fight for 4 more hopeful tomorrow, but to keep today’s situation from becoming hopeless.

A great many of the settlements were on the extreme frontier and abso- lutely unprotected and defenseless It was during this winter that the Sioux attacked and destroyed the family of Mr. Rowland Gardner. They. killed all except a young daughter, Abbie, who was taken in- to captivity, but was rescued nent the efforts of the United States government. In “The Spirit Lake Massacre” she tells something of her captivity: Whenever the Indians thought to torture me by threatening to take my life I would merely bow my head. My tearless acquiescence and willingness to die seemed to fill them all with wonder. They thought it a sign of bravery. Soon after my capture one of the warriors, who was sitting by me one day in the tent, thinking to test my courage or to be amused at my fears, took his revolver from his belt and began loading it, while he gave me to understand that he would kill me as soon as it was loaded. IJ merely bowed my head to signify that I was ready. When the revolver was all load- ed he drew back the hammer and held the weapon close to my head. I quietly bowed my head, expecting he would do as he said. But in- stead of that he lowered the weapon and looked at me as if astonished and then laughed uproariously. So amused was he that he told his com- panions of it, and it was a favorite subject of conversation. These Indians were at a loss to know what to do with much of the plunder they had taken. Among the spoils were quantities of soda and cream of tartar. They interro- gated me as to their use, and when I told them we used it in making bread they wished me to make some. They seemed greatly sur- prised and pleased when they saw the bread “grow” during the process of baking. Although pleased with the “growing,” they were too suspi- cious of being poisoned to eat any until I had eaten. Then they de- voured it greedily. A Perambulating Pudding. ‘A commuter who lives up the Hudson river and who is, of course, accustomed to go downtown every morning contributes a specimen of Finnish humor to the New York Sun. By the commuter’s confession he is prone to prowl around the re- frigerator almost every night and quietly dispose of any unconsid- ered trifle that may tempt his appe- tite without publishing the same to the household at large. Recently his wife was discussing luncheon with a new importation from Fin- land named Hilda and, remember- ing a pudding that they had not been able to finish the day before, said to the kitchen autocrat: “Do you know where that piece of cold pudding is?” Without a smile on her face Hil- da answered: “Yes, ma’am. It has gone down- town!” A Slight Disadvantage. She was only ten years old, little Margaret, but there were two younger children, and she had al- ready taken upon her shoulders some of the responsibilities of life, - did not pretend to enjoy them “Where are Helen and Agatha?” asked a visitor, who found Marga- ret sitting on the doorstep alone one afternoon, looking particularly sober. “They've gone off to have what mother calls ‘mischief’ and they eall ‘fun,’” said the solitary one. “And you didn’t go with them,” said the visitor, with a hint of sym- pathy in her voice. “Oh, no,” said Margaret, with a sigh; “mother trusts me so dread- fully! I can’t have much of any fun.”—Youth’s Companion. The Price of Disobedience. An Italian prince had strictly for- bidden one of his daughters to smoke, but so great a hold had the habit obtained over her that she secretly engaged in the practice at every opportunity. One day she was indulging in a cigarette as she reclined on a balcony attired in a dress of the lightest muslin. Sud- denly her father appeared on the scene. In the hurry to hide the evidence of her disobedience the Eo placed her hand with the urning cigarette behind her back. The result was startling and tragic. Her frock was immediately in a blaze, and she was fearfully burned ~from head to foot, dying after suf- fering intensely. IS FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY.

Take them cut after I am dead.” The dentist would not promise that, and Mallilu is much dis- turbed about it.

Cartaack, Clos- ed with only six men in the box, a gain of but two over the day before., This was a distinct disappointment. not only to the court, but to the at- torneys on both sides. The delays is attributed to two causes—one is that it happened that most of those examined today are residents of Nashville or vicinity, where the case has been fully dis- cussed, and where most of the peo- ple have taken sides. The other reason is that few men are aWilling to serve upon a jury which is called to decide a case in which the feeling is so intense. ; !

Nashville, “Ten., Jan. the veto of Governor Patterson both houses of the legislature today passed the senate bill which pro- hibits the sale of intoxicating liquors within four miles of a school house in Tennessee and is in effect a State- wide prohibition act. It is effective July 1, 1909. The vote in the sen- ate was the same as in the original passage. The house acted at 5:40 this af~ ternoon the vote standing 61 to 36, the original vote there having been 62 to 37. In each house the pas- sage was effected through a combi- nation of republican and ‘‘State- wide” Democratic strength. The galleries were packed in both houses and the debates following the read ing of the governor’s message were bitter, The action of the legislature to- day practically brings to a close one of the most bitter and sensational political fights in the history of Ten- nessee. State-wide prohibition was the main issue in the recent contest: between Governor Patterson and the late E. W. Carmack for the Demo- cratic gubernatorial Romination and, though Patterson. who advocated lo- cal option, won the nomination, the legislature elected in November last at the same time that he was, has, after stormy times, gone against him. This came, however, with the aid of republicans who gave the bill 22 votes in the house and 5 in the senate.

Do you know that Statesville may have a park in the near future?. Anyhow it is rumored very strongly, If the site of the new jail is not where the old one now stand, it is very probable that the present site of the old jail will be cleared off and a common or a park opened up in that place. Gee, wouldn’t that be swell. The nice shade trees, where the citizens could rest their weary limbs in the good old sum- mer time, a nice place for the ladies from thé country to rest with their children. It is needed, and should be made into a park. For instance, take last Everybody’s Day in the city. There was no place for the country ladies to go to rest them- selves and théir children. Then again what 4 pretty sight it would be for the court house, the pride of Irededd county to be set in the cen- ter of a beatutiful spot as is men- tionéd. At the meeting of the Mer- night they all voted in favor of the act, and are working for it. Other towns have thfese places, why not the best town in the state. ——_—\_~++or-o- —_—— Wait for the Minstrel.

PREACHER TRAVELED THOUSAND MILES. To Keep up With His Appointments Elder Hardy Must Keep Moving. Reidsville, N. C., Jan, 20.—Elder L. H. Hardy returned yesterday from Atlantic, thirty miles east of More- head City, where he filled his appoint* ments the last two Sundays. Elder Hardy probably covers more terri- tory in reaching his flock than any other minister in the state. He preaches at Atlantic the first and second Sundays, Prospect Hill, Cas~ well county, the third Sunday, and Reidsville the fourth Sunday. Last year in reaching these churches he was forced to travel 10,284 miles. which he did without missing a single appointment, Elder Hardy is one of the biggest men intellectually in the Primitive Baptist church, and as 4 worker he is able to give the younger deliverers of the gospel a few point- ers on how to reach the people. A suggestion to circle his flocks nearer together is hooted by the eastern folks and of course the westerners have no idea of giving him over to the east. At present Elder Hardy can s€e no other way out it but to continue his work asin the days gone by. ——_+@>-———_ William Jennings Bryan on Adver* tising. : “A fellow who tries to attract business without advertising is like the fellow who throws his sweet- heart a kiss in the dark; he knows Mrs. C.

It is only a short cut across the fields—zcot a moving platform. You can’t “get there’? without ‘‘going some.” It’s a game in which the worker—not the shirker —gets rich. By its measurement every man stands for what he is and for what he does, not for what he was and what he did. Every day in the advertising world is another day and hasto be taken care of with the same energy as it’s yesterday. The quitter can’t survive where the plugger has a ghost of a chance. Advertising doesn’t take the place of busi- ness talent or business management. It simply tells what the business 7s and /ow it is managed. The snob whose father created and who is content to live on what was Aanded to him can’t stand up against the man who knows he must build for himself. What makes you think that you are entitled to prosper as well as a competitor who works twice as hard {for his prosperityP Why should as many people come to your store as patronize ashop that makes an endeavor to get their trade and shows them that it is worth while to come to its doors? Why should a newspaper send as many cus- tomers to you in half the time it took to fill an establishment which advertised twice as long and paid twice as much for its publicity? This isthe day when the best man wins— after he proves that he is the best man—when the best store wins, when it has shown that it zs ‘the.best store—when the best geods win, after they’ve been demonstrated to be the best goods. if you waat the p/umyou can’t getit by lying under the ¢ree with your mouth open waiting for it to drop—too many other men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks jn their eagerness_to get it away from you. it is a man’s game—this advertisuig—just hanging on and fugging and straining all the time to get and keep chead. It is the finite ex- « pression of theJaw of corapetition which sits in . RB, L. VDRNON, T. P. A, -s * — * Charlotte, N.C. S..Ha HARDWICK, P.T. M., W.H. TAYLOE,G. P.

Burlington, Jan. 20.—Hundreds of steel traps were set by farmers today, and practically every farm- er’s boy in the county and many of the older men, armed with guns, are watching tonight in hope of shooting a strange creature whose horse-like hoof prints seen in the city and throughout the country have frightened the community. Many old residents believed the creature,-one fleeting glimpse of which has terrified strong men is the once famous ‘‘Leeds_ Devil.’’ Others hold that only a creature of lightning speed and _ supernatural powers could make all the tracks recorded from different localities in South Jersey and these persons ex- press the belief that the creature is some strange bird driven to this section in the recent storm. There is no denying the existence of the tracks, leading in many places across roofs, and in the case of the house of Philip Gallagher, of this city, seen even upon a snow-covered window ledge, Thenegroes of the city are in a panic over the report that the tracks were made by a creature they call the “Flying Death,’ and doors and windows are barricaded _ tonight everywhere in the negro quarter. Only the bravest women would ven- ture abroad this evening even in in the business section. Attempts of farmers near Colum- bus to hunt down the creature fail- ed today because hounds put on the tracks turned tail and ran home and could not be encouraged again to take the scent. The police are sat- isfied that the tracks are not the work of a practical joker, for they appear in places where there are no human footprints. In many towns tonight church prayer meetings were almost de- serted. Several farmers. declare they have had a fleeting glimpse of the “devil” today and were quite willing to forego a second look. Their descriptions range from a winged kangaroo to a four-legged ostrich, —————_?+ > >_____ A Night Rider’s Raid. The worst night riders are calomel, croton oil or aloes pills.

By Process of Elimination Wiscon- sin Spinister Selects Mate and is to Marry Him. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Jan. 20.— Miss Francess Livingston, of Boyd, who perhaps received more propo- sals than any other woman in the world, has chosen Louis Struvans, of Dorchester, Wis. for her hus- band, and the county clerk issued @ marriage license to them. Miss Livingston last October began to advertise for a husband. She said she was thirty-six years old and good looking; that she had a farm and money in the bank. She maintained that women should advertise for husbands, be- cause by this means a woman could gét out of her narrow village or town sphere and search the entire world for her affinity. Proposals came from men in two continents. By December 31 she had received about one thousand proposals of marriage. She then proceeded to classify and eliminate the candidates, and finally decided upon Struvans. —_—_———++@>- The First Boy for the Training School Concord Tribune.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 21_—An aged mother was praying in an ad- joining room while Dr. D. C. Barber was performing an operation at the county hospital yesterday upon the skull of J. Clarence Quinton, electri- cal engineer, in the hope of chang- ing him from a half demented crim- inal back int othe intelligent normal man he was a little more than a year ago. Whe nthe mother, MMrs. Katherine T Quinton. was informed that the operation was at least a surgical success, she fell upon her knees and lifted up her’ voice in thanksgiving. “He was a good boy before he re- ceived that blow on his head a year ago,’’ she said. There was little in the man’s ap- pearance to indicate that he was the dangerous criminal he is alleg- ed to have been during the past year, but the poliee records show that he was convicted of having drawn a revolver upon a merchant and compeleld him to cash a forged check. It was then that his broth- ler, Scott Quintin, a draftsman, in- sisted that the supposed criminal was insane and should go to the asylum rather than the peniten- tiary. Dr. Barber found that there was a lump pressing against Quintin’s brain atid recommended an _ opera- tion for the relief of this growth. He fully expects that the operation will result in the restoration of Quintin to a normal state of mind. 4-8 ____ Makes rich, red blood, restful sleep, builds strong healthy tissue— steady nerves, perfect digestion and assimilation.

Seawall Must tio Up Against Taft BUT THE REPUBLICANS SAY NAY Receiver Duncan’s Strenuous Efforts All in Yain—Republican Senators Will Not Allow Confirmation of the Moore County lLawyer’s Appoint” ment to the Judgeship—Demo- ocrats Don’t Have to Interfere. Washington, Jan. 2)2.—Herbert F. Seawell, who is President Roose- velt’s second choice for the Eastern North Carolina judgeship, need not order his official robes and other court paraphernalia duXing the Rooseveltian administratior.- He won't be a federal judge unless Mr. Taft selects him above all other at- torneys in Eastern Carolina for this honored position. This fact- was made plain this afternoon by one of the republican leaders in the sen- ate This republican senator, whose language is quoted, is not an ordi- nary member of that body, He is one of the senate leaders and has much to do with shaping the policies of the greatest of deliberative bodies. When asked this afternoon what would become of the Seawell ap- pointment, this senator said: “The nomination of Mr. Seawell will not be confirmed at this session of congress. We are not confirming any of Mr. Roosevelt’s judicial ap- pointments.”’ Receiver Duncan of the Seaboard Air Line, who has been here several times this week, saw Senator Clark and other members of the Judiciary committee with the hope of acceler- ating Seawell’s confirmation. His efforts count for naught, Republi- can senators will defeat Seawell’s confirmation without any effort on the part of democrats. Representative Webb has designa- ted James Erskin Arden, of Meck- lenburg, for appointment as cadet at the military academy at West Point. +> —_——_ HAYWOOD ACTIVE AGAIN, Raises a Cotton Ticket This Time— It Was a Check the Other Time. Haywood Atexander the negro who raised a check on N. D. Tomlin sometime ago, was arrested today on a warrant issued by Capt. W. H. H. Gregory, far raising a cotton ticket. Haywood had sold a bale of cotton to Mr, Gregory, and took it to the cotton platform to be weighed. Af- ter it was weighed Mr. R. A. Miller, the city cotton weigher recorded the weight in a book kept for the pur- pose, giving Haywood a ticket with the amount, 426 pounds written on it. Haywood, it is supposed chang- ed the 4 to a 5 and caused the ticket to read 526 pounds giving him a gain of 100 pounds. Of course Capt. Gregory put the amount down on his book as 526 pounds and shipped the cotton to Asheville, sending the bale numbers, and the respective weights along. The bales were re- weighed in Asheville and this bale in mention was found to be short 100 pounds. - Hence an investiga- tion and Haywood’s arrest. On trial before Judge King this afternoon probable cause was found against him, and he was put under a $100 bond. Haywood seems to have a mania for raising checks, etc., for he is now under bond for raising one check. —_——-4+ > —_—— Ice Cream and Box Supper.

Sim Borders, a negro noted for his big feet, was arrested this morning by Deputy Ward on the charge of appropriating unto himself a lot of lumber from the Safe and Table fac- tory in Diamond Hill, and using it for stove wood. He was tried before Judge King at 11 o’clock this morn- ing, and finding probable cause, the Judge sent him to jail in default of $50 bond. It seems that Sim had been loafing terday afternoon and saw a path froh suspicioned him of carrying lumber from that factory to his home. Sheriff Ward visited the place yes- terday afternon and saw a post from the lumber pile to Sim’s home, and had night Watchman Byers of the factory, to visit Sim’s home. Byers found that Sim had no wood to cook supper with, and a watth was set for him. Finally just after dark Sim hove in sight, appropriated a large amount of the lumber, and went home with it. A warrant was imme- diately sworn out for him, and Sherif! Ward nabbed him this morn- ing. Mr. Ward said that Sim had énough lumber split up and piled in his kitchin to last as stove wood for a number of days. ee Two Boys Jailed. Two young white boys, Augustus Hoof and D. F.

In the mean time their parents are being communicated with, and if they arrange the costs the boys will bd released. If the parents do not pay the costs, they will be put on the gang to work it out. They are mere boys, and a sojourn in the reforma- tory school would do them good. —_———_~+<+ > Church Notes. Rey. C. A.

Opponents of the Appropriation Find Themselves in Hopeless Minority. IncrGase in Estimate, as Has Been the Custom Heretofore, Furnishes Grounds for Extended Debate on Part of Various Members. Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.—Ex- actly as reported by committee, the naval appropriation program for the fiscal year 1910 was today adopted by the House of Representatives and the naval appropriation bill was pass- ed. The opponents of the naval ap- propriation teature found themselves in a hopeless minority, The only vital-alteration made in the measure was the striking out of the provision restoring marines to naval vessels. The aggregate amount appropriated by the bill is $135,000,000. As has been the case in the past, the increase in the navel estimate gave rise to extended and heated de- bate, in Which members were afford- ed an opportunity to air their views on the Japanese question. The peace advocates were much in evidence in opposition to such increase, while the adhereants of the proposition were alive at all times to every move made to cut down the number of vessels authorized. Speaking in support of an amend- ment by Mr. Finley, of South Caroli- na, striking out the battleship provi- sion, Mr. BartholJdt, of Missouri, de- clared that if there ever was a time when such an appropriation was un- wise and unnecessary it was now. “It is unnecessary,” he said, “‘be- cause we are at peace with all the world, and what is more, we have peace as it has never been safeguard- ed before.” —_——_s+@r-o GROOM TO BE ONLY MAN AT WEDDING.

All the ushers will be women, while the Rev, Lydia Commander, formerly pastor of the Unitarian church at Baraboo. Wis., will offici- ate. News of the coming ceremony was out last night during a meeting of suffragettes at Calvary Baptist church. Some of Miss Coleman’s rad- ical friends even object to her being “given away” by her father, but Miss Coleman decided that the time-hon- orea custom, at Ieast, should be car- ried out. At the wedding reception it is planned to distribute the wedd- ing Cake in minature ballot boxes, inscribbed, ‘‘votes for women.” Eee Makes Paper From Okra. Bristol Va., Jan. 22.—The Colum- bian Papér Company, operatfng a $1,000,000 plant here, is conducting successful experiments with okra, a vegetable indigenous to the Southern soils, for the manufacture of paper. So successful has the experiments been that the company has planted several acres of the vegetable to con- tinue it on a much larger scale. It is demonstrated that paper can be made from okra, this would be very much cheaper than wood and straw, which is now used almost ex- clusively in the manufacture of wood fiber, from which the commercial grades of paper are made. 1 Messrs.

Mayor Rue, satisfied there is a genuine mystery about the thing, has entered zealously into the task of solving it and if posible capturing the creature. He anonunced to- night that he had ordered the police- men to keep a sharp lookout for the animal and to shoot it on sight. Mrs. Michael Ryan of Penn street, declares she saw a creature this morning that, if it was not the “Devil”? itself, was at least terrifying enough in its shape to rival the mys- tery maker. Opening the shutters at her home, shortly after 6 o’clock, she heard a noise in the alley beside the house, and leaning out of the window she beheld a creature that froze her with fright, It body was of a peculiar shape and it had long bird-like legs, while its head looked like that of a horse. It had short wings, which seemed to be’ partly spread, and it was stooping as if about to leap. Mrs. Rryan closed the window with a bang and dropped exhausted into a chair. “For some minutes I was so firfght- ened I was unable to scream,”’ says Mrs. Ryan, who is still nervous over the experience. “My husband and son had already gone to work and I finally was able to waken my younger son, Edward, who was asleep up- stairs.”’ There was nothing in the alley when the young man looked for the ‘thing’? and he had to hurry away at once to catch a train, As soon as it was light enough outside neighbors investigated and found small pony-like tracks in the alley. The tracks led to a fence, which they crossed into the Kane property adjoining. The townspeo- ple are greatly excited by the mys- wisely managed ‘to safeguard Oiir | \°ry- ——_—_—++oer MISTAKES SELF FOR NEGEO. ee “White’’ Man and Negress Get an 18- Year Sent@nce for Marrying.

The suit over the interesting ex- hibit grew out of the claim made by: Mrs. Caroline A.

After sentencing a man for killing his son at Greenville the other dar. the Judge made the following re- marks: “No man sells whisk f love of it, but for the money he get out of it and selling liquor will make any man abad man. We license the gale of liquor we are to some extent parties to the crime resulting from it. With whiskey out of the countrr we will have littie crime that amounts to anything, for whiskey is at the bottom of all our troubles.’” Judge Allen certainly spoke a par- able when he made the remarks as stated above) A man who Will sell whiskey will commit any kind of a crime. Whiskey is, as Judge Allen statec, the root of al evil, for it not only causes men to commit crime, but look at the poor women and childern of the country, whose homes are wrecked, desolate, and saddened by the awful stuff. But it is fast go- ing, and before long, we hope, the entire nation wil be rid of the curse. ~~ aere ~~ A LEGALIZED PRIMARY, ¥ w om It has been announced that will be introduced in the le to carry out the Glenn-Kitchen legal- ized primary plan for both parties. It has been understood since soon after Governor Kitchen’s nomination that one of the chief acts of his ad- ministration would be to put the Democratic party under such a pri- Mary system. It may work weil and We may be mistaken in our belief that it will cause our political over- throw. But why a democratic legis- lature should be called upon to regu- late republican politics is more than we can see. A republican don’t care any thing about a primary legalized or otherwise and any interference with their party aflairs by democrats will only enrage them against us and furnish an issue with which to inflame their voters and make them active in the campaign and at the polls. We do not claim a monopoly of wisdom and do not wish to be considered presumntive enough as offering advice ~ nese party lead- ers, but we cannot help saying that such a policy is rediculous. —_—_———~+@>-—___ RAILROADS WANTS RATE QUES- TION RE-OPENED.

Dizzy spells and headaches were of frequent occurrence, and at night I was unable to obtain my proper rest. The kidney secretions were also un- natural in appearance, and sbowed that my kidneys were at fault.

Geese, Pigs and Bears Not Hard te Train For the Staga, A farraer would scarcely believe hat a goose requires only about ixty hours in order to prepare it or the footlights and a critical ay- lie that a common pi which has been bought in the mar- ket will in thirty hours be compe- tent to blossom forth as an actor. According te Clyde Powers, a trainer of wide experience and much patience, it takes a duck about three days to learn how to]: march on the stage, to follow the chorus and to march off again at the proper time. It takes a chick- n a week or more, and a turkey eannot grasp the art of acting in less than six months’ time. Mr. Powers has tried to train a peafowl, but he finds that it is im- possible. A goose is the most intel- ligent of ail the feathered tribe, ind a goose is also the only do- aestic fowl that shows affection, Animals are always entertaining, and so much in demand are they by managers that every vaudeville theater In America books for its »rogramme at least one anima! act ond often two every week. A good inimal troupe is contracted fox many months ahead, and its owners and trainers receive salaries far ex- ceeding these of the average troupe of vaudeville performers of the hu- man species. During a visit to a dress re- .earsal at the New York Hippo- drome, says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly, three or four cub bears were being schooled in the art of standing on their heads, in driving an auto, or at least appearing to do so, and last, but not least—for it amuses an audience greatly—te drink out of bottles. To teach them this last act ig not very difficult if the bottles are filled with sweetened water. In fact, the difficulty comes in preventing the cubs from stealing these bottles and rehearsing before it is time, so fond are they of this particular form of | acting. Bears are decidedly humorous, and, while they know perfectly well what they are doing, they often do a trick the wrong way, apparently just for the humor of the thing, and they seem to enjoy the acol ing, which with many bears 4s sel- 4 o eC 1 4 dom accompanied by punishment. | The trainer's pockets are usually: bulging with sugar, and the cubs are given a taste every time they. obey orders and go through a trick with willingness. If 9 bear is good | tempered and of adaptable disposi-' tion a new trick can be mastered iv about four weeks. A Healthy BIIL A wealthy New York banker, says the Philadelphia Record, while visiting his parents in a small town was stricken with fever. For three months he was confined in the old homestead, dutifully attended by fond mother and ea very zealous doc- | : tor. The banker recovered slowly. One morning he decided that fresh air would do more for him than|5 medical environment, and in al5 short time he was enabled to dis- miss his physician. When the doc- tor’s bill arrived the banker studied it very closely. A few moments} later the mother saw her son go te the wood shed, procure an ax and begin hewing at the hitching post, which had stood in front of the house for fifty years. “Frank,” she shouted hysterical- ly, believing her son in another de- lirium, “what are you doing?” “You'll have no further use for ‘t,” chuckled the perspiring banker. “Hereafter the doctor will come in an automobile.” cSt SSoS — Sees Mother Grow Young. “it would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since She began to use Electric Bitters,’? writes Mrse. W. L. Gilpatrick of Dan- forth, Me. ‘Although past 70 she seems realiy tu be growing young asain. She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health.” They invigorate all vital organs, induce steep, impart strength and appetite.

The Kind You Have Always Bought pews Lp Wtdea Signature of ( ys BORGES Fee gee Ll ' ABOUT ADVERTISING—NO. 6 If It Fits You Wear | This Cap By Herbert Kaufman Advertising isn’t a crucible with which lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn incompetency into success—but one into which brains and tenacity and courage can be poured and changed into dollars. It is only a short cut across the fields—not a moving platform. You can’t “get there” without “‘going some.” It’s agame in which the worker—not the shirker—gets rich. By its measurement every man stands for what he is and for what he does, not for what he was and what he did. Every day in the advertising world is another day and hasto be taken care of with the same energy as It’s yesterday. The quitter can’t survive where the plugger has a ghost of a chance. Advertising dcesn’t take the place of busi- ness talent or business management. It simply tells what the business 7s and Aow it is managed. The snob whose father created and who is content to live on what was handed to him can’t stand up against the man who knows he must build for himself. What makes you think that you are entitled to prosper as well as a competitor who works twice as hard for his prosperity? Why should as many people come to your store as patronize ashop that makes an endeavor to get their trade and shows them that it is worth while to come to its doors? Why should a newspaper send as many cus- tomers to you in half the time it took to fill an establishment which advertised twice as long and paid twice as much for its publicity? after he proves that he zs the best man—when the dest store wins, when it has shown that it zs the best store—when the best goods win, after they’ve been demonstrated to be the best goods. If you want the p/um you can’t getit by lying under the ¢ree with your mouth open waiting for it to drop—too many other men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks in their eagerness to get it away from you. It is a man’s game—this advertising—just hanging on and tugging and straining all the time to get and keep ahead. It is the finite ex- ression of the law of competition which sits in blind-folded justice over the markets of the world. (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

The jury was only about 30 minutes in reaching a verdict. Iu passing judgement on the prisoner. Judge Allen stated that it was another case result- ing from whiskey. Warren wae on & drunken spree, very abusive and unkind to his wife and child- ren, and skot and killed his own son. Yet, the judge said, when we furnish & man liquor it looks like a hard proposition to pun- ish him for the use of it. No man eells whiskey for the love of it, but for the money he gets out of it, and selling liquor will make any man a bad man. We license the sale of liquor we are to some extent parties to the crime resulting from it. With whiskey out of the country we will have little crime that amonnts to anything, for whisk- ey is atthe bottom of all our troubles. The judge said this was a very light sentence, but the case was pitiful and he thought this sen- tence will meet the ends of juctice and reform the offender. ———__4~@-o-————_———_ Will Consider Railroad Rate Matter.

Governor Kitchin in replying to the statement of the railroad presidents, that the compro- mise rates were unremunerative and wanting legislation at this time, stated that he had said in his inaugural address that there would probably be no agitation fora change of passenger fares during his administration, that the people were not expecting such agitation; that he could not encourage any procedure, but hoped the railroads would try the rates during a normal year, when no panic conditions prevailed; that be had no infor- mation to justify him in suggest- ing any changes; that if the railroads decided to agitate the matter the proper committes in the legislature would give them respectful hearings and careful consideration, and that the for- mer legislature had declined to Governor the corporation commission. He expressed the belief that a trial of the present rates under nor- mal financial conditions would show them remunerative. Jan- uary 30 was fixed upon for the next conference.

Negro Lynched in Scottsboro. x Scootsboro, Jan. 24.—A large barn, together with a lot of live stock and feed stuff, of ex-Tax Collector James Ridley of Boili- var, was set on fire and bnrned last night by a discharged negro man servant. While the barn was burning and the men were at the fire the negro entered the residence and attemped to assult a young mar ried daughter of Mr. Ridley. She recognized him and gamely de- fended herself and shot at thene- gro as he ran off. A large posse with blood hounds from Chattanooga and Tracy City were soon in pursuit and at 11 o’clock tonight is was eported that the negro hres been captured and liuched, but this report was later denined and it is believed that that the negro escaped. ——_—__2«— + 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.

Guar- THE CRUISER NORTH CAROLINA.] She Crossed the Bar With Four Feet of Water Under Her Keel and|{- Swung Into Her Berth in the Coop- ‘er River. Charleston Evening Post. The cruiser North Carolina, one oi the most powerful ships of her class afloat, came into Charleston this morning and is lying in the Cooper river, off the government wharf, at a comfoit- able and roomy anchorage, look- ing in her grim warpaint, like a flooting iortress. She is the greatest warship that has ever came into this barbor, being lar- ger and more powerful that the Charleston, which spent a week here three years ago, A fleet of perhaps a hundred warsbipes like North Carolina could find berth in this harbor, allat good and safe anchorage, and while such an assembly of fighting vessels will probably never be seen in any port, we may expect, with the development of the navy yard at Charleston, many more warships like the North Carolina to drop anchor in the waters of the bay. The North Carolina came ia this morning drawing twenty seven feet and four inches. She swep in from blues water to Sher perth as easily asifshe were go- ing with the Gulf Stream. Why not? There was four feet of wat- en under her keli aud a beautiful open bay before ber, an ‘a2al port and harbor, unequaled on the South Atlantic coast. The Officers of the may not have been in Charleston arbor before doubtless were fill- ed with wonder that the case of entarence into this port should ever have been held in question in Washington. Itis indeed, a most remarkable thing that the facilities of such a splended har- boras this should notbe fully known and more usefully em- ployed by the navy Depart- ment. However, the North Carolina ig here and will take Mr. Taft out on his way to Panamar as smoothly and as comfortable as shecamein. It isa mere rou- tine port matter, aiter all, that vessel drawing twenty seven feet and a half should come through asix hundred foot channel in which there is nearly thirty two icet of water, but the occasion oi the cruiser’s visit is something out of the ordinary and some. times of interest and agreeable concern to the people of Charles- ton. Not only that but the coming of a vessel is a pleasing incident in itself, and the good ship and her gallant officers and her brave crew are more than welcome in Charleston harbor, which should be her home port and into which we hope she may come many tim3s again.

New York, Jan. 24.—The palatial steamship Riepublic of the White Star line, vhich was in collision with the Italian liner Florida early Saturday morning off Nantucket, Mass, went down at half past eight o’clock to- night. No one was lost. Her pas- sengers are on the steamship Baltic, which was Off Sandy Hook at a late hour, making for this port. The Repubiic was in tow of the revenue cutter Gresham and the der- lict destroyer Seneca, proceeding to New York. On board was Captain Sealby, with a volunteer crew of fifty. The crew was taken off by the Gresham, which stood by until she sank beneath the waves. The Gresham and the Senaca will land Captain Sealby and his brave crew at Gayhead, Mass., or Newport, Rut. The Florida is slowly steaming to- wards New York, conveyed by the American liner New York. Her pas- sengers are also on the Baltic. The Baltic is nearing the harbor of New York tonight. This, in brief, is the situation late tonight in the stirring story of the sea, following the first wireless flash on the collision of the two big ships early dawn of Saturday morning off Nantucket, Mass. That there was loss of life attend- ing the collision was not known until an early hour Sunday morning. Then thfe wireless, which had its first trial and proved its utility, brought the news that Mrs. Eugene Lynch of Boston and W. J. Mooney of Lang- don, N. D.. had been killed, and Mrs. M. M_ Murphy of Grand Forks N. D., and Eugene Lynch of Boston in- jured. It was reported further that four members of the Florida’s crew had met death. The bodies of the dead and the in- juried persons were transferred to the Baltic. ———~++@>-e—___—_ Mother do you hear that rat- tling in your babies throat?

Greenville, N_ C., Jan. 24.—This correspondent has come across a bit of history in connection with Gen. R. E. Lee, the anniversary of whose birthday was a few days ago observ- ed throughout the south, that may be of interests to Observer readers. A lady of Greenville; who came from Virginia and has relatives now living at Lexington, in that state, the home place of General Lee, wrote her people for verification of a state- ment that General Lee was buried in a casket that was pulled out a fresh- 6t in North river. The lady was giv- en the facts asked for and permitted that portion of the letter bearing upon the circumstances to be copied for publication. It is as follows: “The story to which you allude is literally true. At the time of Gen- eral Lee’s death in 1870, there was & great freshet in North river at Lex- ington. There was no suitablm cas- ket for General Lee’s burial in our town, and we were cut off from the rest of the world. Some caskets had been ordered from Richmond by our town undertaker and they had ar- rived a few days before the freshet at Mr. A. Alexander’s commission House on North river. This house with contents, including the caskets. Was washed away. One of these cas- kets was reported lodged on an island afew miles below town. It was brought up and General Lee was bu- ried in it. Thje casket needed only a little cleaning and it suited the pur- pose in every way, except that it was rather small at the foot, so that Gen- eral Lee could not be buried in shoes or boots.”—Charlotte Observer. _——__2++@>-e—_____ Builds you up physically and mentally, keeps your digestion or- gans in condition, regulates the bowels, cleanseg the blood, gives you perfect health.

Laymen’s Conference of Presbyterian Church Will Discuss This Ques- tion. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 23 —In the recent general division of the non-Christian population of the world, the Southern Presbyterian Church fell heir to twenty-five mil- lions and the question of how to rneach this widely sacttered mass of humanity will be discussed by some of the ablest of the world’s thinkers at Birmingham on February 16-18. The occasion will be the Laymen’s Conference of the Southern Presby- terian church, which will be attended by representative business men from all parts of the south. Speakers will he present also from Canada, Eng- land and other countries. The millions whose religious edu- cation has been assumed by the Southern Presbyterian church are di- vided as follows: Africa, 1,000, 050; Brazil, 3,000,000; China, 12,000,- 000; Cuba, 500,000; Japan, 4,000,- 000. and Mexico, 500,000. The Birmingham convention at Which these figures will be digested, promises to be the most remarkable gathering held in the south for years. Many prominent bankers, merchants and professional men will be on hand and the deliberations of the conference will be dominated by the business element. It is this class it is said, that has been chiefly in- strumental in forcing the issue to its present prominence and it is the in- tention to apply the principles of business to the work at hand. W. D. Nesbit, chairman of the Ala- bama railroad comniission is at the head of the local commitee on ar- rangements and he is being assisted by the leading business men of the city. From one to two thousand delegates are expected. -_————_~+<~@or-o—_——_- If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will pre- vent constipation.

Geese, Pigs and Bears Not Hard Train For the Staga. A farmer would scarcely believe that a goose requires only about sixty hours in order to prepare it for the footlights and a critical au- dience and that a common pig which has been bought in the mar- ket will in thirty hours be compe- tent to blossom forth as an actor. According to Clyde Powers, a trainer of wide experience and much patience, it takes a duck about three days to learn how to march on the stage, to follow the chorus and to march off again at the proper time. It takes a chick- en a week or more, and a turkey cannot grasp the art of acting in less than six months’ time. Mr. Powers has tried to train a peafowl, but he finds that it is im- ssible. A goose is the most intel- igent of the feathered tribe, ind a goose is also the only do- mestic fowl that shows affection. Animals are always entertaining, and so much in demand are they by managers that every vaudeville theater in America books for its programme at least one animal act and often two every week. A good animal troupe is contracted for many months ahead, and its owners and trainers receive salaries far ex- ceeding those of the arenes troupe of vaudeville performers of the hu- man species. During a visit to a dress re- hearsal at the New York Hippo- drome, says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly, three or four cub bears were being schooled in the art of standing on their heads, in driving an auto, or at least appearing to do so, and last, but not least—for it amuses an audience greatly—to drink out of bottles. To teach them this last act is not very difficult if the bottles are filled with sweetened water. In fact, the difficulty comes in preventing the cubs from stealing these bottles and ~ rehearsing before it is time, so fond are they of this particuler form of acting. Bears are decidedly humorous, and, while they know perfectly well what they sre doing, they often do a trick the wrong way, apparently just for the humor of the t and they seem to enjoy the scol ing, which with many bears is sel- dom accompanied by punishment. The trainer’s pockets are usually bulging with sugar, and the eubs are given a taste every time the obey orders and go through a tri with willingness. If s bear is good tempered and of adaptable disposi- tion a new trick can be mastered in about four weeks. A Healthy Bill. - A meaty New York banker, says the adelphia Record, while visiting his parents in a emall tows was stricken with fever, For three months he was confined in the old homestead, dutifully attended by a fond mother and a very zealous doo- tor. The banker recovered slowly. One mo he decided that fres air would do more for him than medical environment, end in a short time he was enabled to dis- miss his physician. When the doc- tor’s bill arrived the banker studied it very closely. A few moments later the mother saw her son go to ihe wood shed, Brooke uae and egin hewing at the hitchi st, which had stood in front of the house for fifty years. “Frank,” she shouted hysterical- ly, believing her son in another de- rium, “what are you doing?” “You'll have no further use for it,” chuckled the perspiring banker. “Hereafter the doctor will come in an automobile.” Mothers’ Joy 1s made of pure ingredients.

Youth at Kannapolis Sustains Severe Injuries While Climbing Over Electric Wires and Was Held Fast, Several Knocked Down and Cir rent Had to be Cut off BSfore Child Was Rescued—Insulated Wires Wires Saved Him From Complete Electrocution. Melvin the four-year-old son of Mr. and MMrs. Ed Phillips of Kan- napolis, lies:at his home in that city with severe injuries sustained Friday afternoon while attempting to get 2 ball that had lodged over the wires on the transformer house, says the Concord Tribune. A number of of litle dorfers were at the side of the Patterson mill playing baseball when the Lall was thrown upon the house. . Litsle Phillips made the ascent by the use of an old wooden ‘‘horse” near by, and was pulling himself up by one of the insulated wires. On reaching the top, he in some way fell across the wires and one hand and his shoulders making the conection and closing the circuit, putting 2,300 volts of electricity in his body. The boy was held fast, being unable to free himself from the clutches of the wires, He was in a perilous condi-* tion, and several of his little com- panions were knocked down as fast® as they would lay their hands on him; to release him. Finally the news of the affair reached the power house, when instantly the plug was pufled and the power cut off. The boy. when rescued was thought to be dead, His eyes protruded from their sockets and he was drawn “considerable by the contortions produced from the shock. The child. was carried to his home where he was treated by Dr. Wakefield, the physician at the mills and everything is being done for his relief thatis known to medical science. The boy is badly burned on his hand and shoulder, and the burn had penetrated to the bone. From the fact that the wires were insulated the child was not instantly killed, A; telephone message from there this morning stated that Phillips was still alive, but little hope seemed to be entertained for his recovery. On the other hand, a rumor states that the boy was severely shocked, but that he will recover. : The timely intervention of the ma- nipulator of the power transformers gaved the boy from instant death.— News and Observer. —— 1 - o CHILDHOOD’S HA?PY DAYS ON THE FARM ARE A MYTH So Per. Hutchinson Declares, Recalling Winter Weather Wofs, Chicago, Jan. 25.—‘““C/ildhood’s happy days on the farm are largely a myth,” declared Dr. Wood S. Hutchinson, of New York, at the child labor conference. He asserted that there were many overworked children on farms, and that country boys and girls were not well nour- nourished. ‘It is no wonder that farm boys rush to the city as soon as possible,” said Dr. Hutchinson, “when you re- collect that they work sometimes fifteen hours a day, that in the cold- est weather they get up in the dark and break the ice ofja tub of water to wash their faces and then hustle into a dirty stable to milk cows. The happy farm days of juveniles are myths fostered and kept alive by sentimental literature.”’ Dr. Frank Billings, of Chicago, con } tested Dr. Hutchinson’s opinion, and said that working on a farm, bad as it might be, was not as bad as work- ‘ing in a factory. 2 4 Lame Sholder.

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 4 culture bed for germs of-in- fectious disease. Consumption, pneumonia, diptheria and scarlet fevcer, four of thé most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. Thec ulture bed forméd 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.

Nashvile, Ten., Jan. 25.—The net result of another day’s work in the trial of Col, Vuncan B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharpe for the murder of ex-Senator Carmack, was one lone juror added to the six al- ready in the box. The new venire of 500 talesmen reported this morning and at 2:50 p. m. 120 had been ex- amined. Of these only one qualified, J. H. Vaughn, a farmer 48 years of age. The hearing of the charges against Juror Leigh will take place Rs soon as the present panel is exhausted, which will probably be Wednesday, The state has used 10 of its 18 peremptory challenges and the de- fense 14 of its 72. Soon after court convened this morning Attorney General McCarn asked whether or not the defense proposed to resist the removal of Juror Leigh. Judgé Anderson said the defense had not had time to in- vestigate. “The defense has had time,’? re- torted McCarn. “It has had Leigh’s son working on the case, or for some other purpose, for several days. And the state wishes to announce that it objects to Leigh, not only because he was drunk when accepted, but be- cause he has expressed a violent opin- ion as to the innocence of the ac- cused. We have the proof of that.” “Has Juror Leigh been arrested for perjury?” asked Judge Anderson. “Not yet,” replied McCain, sug- gestively. Then McCarn offered to read the affidavit against Leigh, but the defense objected. The state then asked the court to set a day for the hearing. The court said it would be better to continue the examination of talesmen and settle the Leigh case later. Counsel asked for time to consult upon the new venire, which was granted. A long list of talesmen was ready with pleas to be excused from service, which led the court to remark: “The first man who presents 2 bus- iness excuse will be fined $10 right off the reel.” At least half of the waiting line of men melted out into the court room. During a recess Judge Hart sent for the six men already selected as jurors and said: “The court wishes to caution you again against discusing this case amongst yourselves. This would be contrary to your oath.” This action was taken at the re- quest of the state, which professed to believe that those men on the jury against whom prejudice charges will be filed, might discuss the case and influence the others, At 3:50 p. m. court adjourned for the day. —__—_~++er-o———— Matrimony as a Cure for Appendicitis Durham, Jan. 25.—After a week there has come to Durham a story of Miss Glen Perry’s marriage Safur- day, January 23, in Norfolk, This pretty young lady of 17 was a school girl at the Conservatory of Music.

This Cap : By Herbert Kaufman _ Advertising isn’t a crucible with which lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn incompetency into success—but one into which brains and tenacity and courage can be poured and changed into dollars. It is only a short cut across the fields—not a moving platform. You can’t “get there” without “going some.” it’s agame in which the worker—not the shirker—gets rich. By its measurement every man stands for what he zs and for what he does, not for what he was and what he did. Every day in the advertising world is another day and hasto be taken care of with the same energy as it’s yesterday. The quitter can’t survive where the plugger '-has a ghost of a chance. Advertising doesn’t take the place of busi- ness talent or business management. It simply tells what the business 7s and how it is managed. The snob whose father created and who is ° content to live on what was handed to him can’t stand up against the man who knows he must build for himself. | oe What makes you think that you are entitled to prosper as well as a competitor who works twice as hard for his prosperity? Why should as many people come to your store as patronize ashop that makes an endeavor to get their trade and shows them that it is worth while to come to its doorsP Why should a newspaper send as many cus- tomers to you in Aalf the time it took to fill an establishment which advertised twice as long and paid twice as much for its publicity? This is the day when the best man wins— after he proves that-he zs the best man—when the best store wins, when it has shown that it zs the best store—when the best goods win, after ~ they’ve been demonstrated to be the best goods. If you want the p/um you can’t get it by lying under the ¢ree with your mouth open waiting for it to drop—too many other men are willing to climb out on the limb and risk their necks in their eagerness to get it away from you. It is a man’s game—this advertising—just hanging on and tugging and straining all the time to gef and keep ahead. It is the finite ex- pression of the law of competition which sits in blind-folded justice over the markets of the . world. (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

A queer character was a man | met once while in Kinsley, Kan. | Where he came from I didn’t find | out, nor yet where he was bound. | From his grips and general appear- ance I guessed him to be a commer- cial traveler. Doubtless he was. When I first saw him he was buy- ing a book in a Kinsley store—one of the late novels, neatly and at- tractively bound in cloth, and he paid for if $1.25. His course as he left the store with his purchase was what nailea my attention. He had the book in his hands unwrapped, having waived the parceling of the same as unnec- essary. He halted at the door, bent both covers back and coolly ripped them off and tossed them into the street. Then he “cut” the volume es one might a deck of cards, about the middle, bent the two halves back till they met and then ripped them epart as coolly as he had torn off the cover. I was naturally astonished. Who was this man? Was he some ex- purgator? Was the book a menace to morals? I took a quick glance at the discarded covers. It was one of the best of the recently issued fic- tion. My man tucked the first half of his book into the side pocket of his coat. The other half he thrust into the smaller of his two grips. And then both of us headed for the train. We rode together es far as Hutchinson. I purposely selected a seat near him. He raised a win- dow and settled himself comforta- bly and pulled the half book from his pocket. He tore off the first pege, laid the rest of the volume be- side him on the seat and read th« single leaf. From the way his eyes moved ] saw he was a “skimmer.” In no time he had finished page 1. 1 knew that, for he turned the leaf And when page 2 was read I knew that, teo, for he quietly crumpled up the leaf and tossed it out of the car window. And then he tore off the next leaf. And in due time it went the same route. And so it a on. All the way from Kins- ley to Hutchinson he left a trail of crumpled leaves. When he had fin- ished the book the book was finish- ed too.—Kansas City Star. First on the Ground. A terrible fire had just broken out. Frightful explosions sheok the city. ped across the heavens. The instant the first alarm was sounded a heavy wagon drawn by three splendid horses whirled down the main street and sped toward the fre. A stranger turned to the man at his side. “Was that a fire engine?’ he asked. “No,” replied the native; “that was the moving picture machine.”—Cleve- fand Plain Dealer. A Bright Boy. “Say,” queried the father, “can’t yon give my boy a position in your store?” “I don’t know,” rejoined the grocer. “What can he do?” “Well,” replied the parent, “I don’t suppose he could do much at first ex- cept buy and sell goods and manage your business for you, but later on, when he gets a little experience and sense, he might be able to sweep out. do up packages and run errands.”— Minneapolis Journal. Then He Flew. He—Do you think a man should marry when he’s getting twenty-five?

A Very Curious Superstition of the Tupi Indiana We had been Estening to the stories of an officer recently re- turned from service in the Philip- pines about the curious supersti- tions among the brown races, when one of the party, who had been sev- eral yesrs a resident of Brazil, re- lated ar. experience he had had anseng the native Indians along the Amazon river at the time of a lu- nar eclipse. He said: “I noticed that for several days every Indian employed in my hosts’ sawmill, ten or twelve in number, spent their entire noon hour in making ar- rows and testing them by shooting them at a large tree, not less than 100 vards distant, which stood in the clearing around the mill. “Of course these men are familiar with the use of firearms and use guna in hunting. But for some rea- son, probably a tradition, supersti- tion or prophecy, still preserved, it is a part of nearly every Indian boy’s education to make and use bows and arrows, even though re- siding in the cities. I was aston- ished at the skill these men dis- played. They rarely missed the tar- get or struck it.so high that they could not reach and withdraw the arrows. When asked what so many arrows were made for, their only answer was ‘To shoot the black shadow,’ which to me wg no expla- nation at all. “Now, making these arrows is both difficult and delicate work. Both shaft and feathers must be carefully chosen, while fashioning the points, which are made of a separate piece of harder wool and charred and shaped in the fire, re- quires both skill and patience. Only the wing feathers of a bird possess the spiral twist necessary to give the arrow a rotary motic : in flight. “The night of the ec »se I went to my hammock, as usual, not re membering that one was due. occurred about midnight. I was sleeping soundly when I was awak- ened by some one gently shaking my hammock. Rousing myself, I found the oldest man_employed in the mill bending over me. The eclipse was on and the room was se dark that I could not distinguish his features, but his voice was very grave as he said in Portuguese, ‘Pardon, senhor, but do you not want the moon to shine again?’ ‘Moon—what’s the matter with it?’ I asked, only half awake. ‘It has gone out and will not shine again until we shoot the black shadow. Will the senhor let me take his gun to begin driving it away? “I gave him my double barre} gun and half a dozen cartridges, arndhewentout. Greatly mystified, I followed him a moment later. All the Indians were assembled in the open space before the house, and every one had his bow and arrows, watching the moon, which was now entirely obscured. £ did not join them, fearing to disconcer$ them, but watched the strange perform- ance from the door. “First, the old man, after finding a good rest for his gun, took a long, careful aim at the moon and fired, repeating the shots as fast as he could reload. When the cartridges were all used, the bowmen drew up in line, and, taking an equally care- ful aim, shot scores of arrows at the offending black shadow. Then they all sat ‘down on the ground, lighted their cigarettes and waited results. I left them watching and went in and was again asleep when the old man awakened me by entering with the gum. He was jubilant at the success of their assault on the black demon and thanked me for my as- sistance in the ponderously ‘polite phrases characteristic-of his race.” —Dewey Austin Cobb in Los An- geles Times. | : Brilliant Fish Hues.

Nine Occupy Seats in the Box, But There Are Charges Against Two of These, Which Judge Hart Will Hear Today—A Third V4nire of Five Hundred Drawn and Thése the Sheriff is Sumomning for Fri7 day Morning—One Talesman Gets Into Trouble by Telling the Judge to go to the Devil. Nashvile, Tenn., Jan. 26.—When the second venire of 500 talesmen was exhausted today without the completion of the jury to try Col. Dunean Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for the slaying of former Senator Edward W_ Carmack Judge Hart announced that he would devote tomorrow to the hearing of charges against Jurors Leigh and Jackson. Meantime he drew an- other venire of 500 names and the sheriff is summoning them for ser- vice at 9 2. m. Friday. Just before court adjourned this afternon the state filed charges against Juror-H. C. Jackson, claim- ing that he was incompetent because he was an habitual drunkard, The state has been trying since last week to get a hearing on the charges against Juror J. S. Leigh and its wit- nesses were summoned to appear to- morrow, when both ‘cases wili be gone into. There are now nine men in the box with charges against two of them The failure of counsel to complete the jury from the first thousand talesmen together with the fact that the number already selected may be reduced by the court makes it ex- tremely improbable that the twelve men will be sworn in before some time next week. H. P, Jackson,’ a blacksmith, 55 years old, who lives in the county, has not read a paper for 28 years and had heard Carmack was dead, he thought. He was eagerly accept- ed as juror No. 8. Later in the day the state gave notice that it would ask the removal from the box of Juror Jackson on the charge that he “is an habitual drunkard and otherwise unfit to serve on the case.”’ S. M. Hyde, a farmer, 8 years old, who had never read a newspaper and who had no opinion but was op- posed to capital punishment was ac- cepted as juror No. 9. G. W. Kieber, one of the talesmen when summoned, said: “Tell the judge to go to the devil. I am too busy to serve as juror.’’ ’ The officer who served him report- ed to Judge Hart and Kieber was brought in. “Sit down over there,” said the court. " “I won’t send yo uto the devil right away, but I’ll send you some place else after a while.” F. N. Grier was willing to sit on the jury although he was a friend of John D_ Sharp, one of the defend- ants. Until two years ago he would not vote for hanging. “Since then,” he said, “I’ve read Paul’s writin’s an’ he says ‘submit yourselves for ait authority and ordi- naces that be over ye,’ so I believe the law is authority.” “You would like to get off?” in- quired Judge Anderson, of the de- fense. “T shore wottd.” “Then we will oblige you; stand aside.”’ ‘The hearings tomorrow with ref- evence to the two jurors, Leigh and Jackson promise to be interesting. 4-4 Small Fire Today.

Cost to produce an acre...... $16.16 Market value at 314e¢ per fh.- 35.35 Net profit per acre:......... 19.19 Common Method. Average seed cotton per acre 678 pounds; cost per pound 2.1 cents. Cost to producé an acre...... $14.23 Market value at sige per ih.. 23.73 Net profit per acre.......... 9.50 The difference in net profit in favor of demonstration work is $9.69. The cost of producing an acre of cotton on the demonstration plan is found to be slightly more—$1.93 more than the common method, but this is due mainly to the extra cost of Picking, as it costs twice as much to pick 1500 pounds as it does to pick 750 pounds We find also that 1010 pounds on the market is worth $35.35, while 678 pounds is worth only $23.73 or a dif- ference of $11.62. So in whatever light we view it, the comparisg® is favorable to the improved method. It must also be remembered that the past season was unfavorable for cot- ton, and also that the demonstration method was only partially carried’, out. We want a deep and thoroughly prepared” seed bed full of decaying vegetable matter. Some farmers had land of such character, and their yields were good, but the majority had land depleted of lumnus, and, of course, their yields were small. We do not expect heavy yields until we get our fields in better condition. The final object of the Farmers’ Coopera- tive work is the permanent enrich- ment of the soil and the improvement of the soil and the improvement of conditions generally on the farm, so that farm life will be more enjoya- ble and more profitable as well. We desire to see the country people, farmers, living in good houses, that is neatly constucted, painted houses with some flowers around, good barns, a good kitchen, garden that will supply vegetables the year round | good roads to reach the mar- kets, and rural telephones. These are some of the things we aim at. Are they not worth while? We do not expect to reach them in a day. It is impossible to take our down farms and transform them in a day. All these improvements must be the result of gradual growth. The great oak does not grow ina day. Na- tions are centuries in building. We have been growing slowly as an ag- ricultural people, but we are grow- ing and must continue to grow. EB. S. MILLSAPS. te SEAWELL’S NAME UP, Nomination Referred to the Judiciary Committee— —Taft Will Not Name Judge. : Washington, Jan. 25.—The nomi- nation of Herbert Ff. Seawell to be judge of the Eastern North Caroltna district was referred to the Judiciary committee when it reached the sen- ate. Today the senate judiciary committee held its first meeting since the appointment was announced from the White house, but no action was taken one way or another. Under ordinary circumstances the nomina- tion would have been referred to a sub-committee. The absence in the state of Senator Overman, who is a member of the judiciary committee, is given as an excuse for failure to take action, but well informed per- sons are satisfied that republican senators will not permit the confirm- ation of Seawell’s appointment while Roosevelt is president. From all in- dications Mr. Taft will name the next judge of the eastern district. el E NEARLY 500 THROWN OUT. Mechanics Idle as Result of General Reduction in Force at Philadl- phia Navy Yard.

He has been one of the most faithful public servants North Carolina has ever had and if is crying*sahme that a faithful, eff- icient, honest and industrious public servant official at the head of ore of the Common- wealth’s most inportaet depart- ment should suffer mortification because of the failure cf thestate to give him needed help.

The parents of the baby hearing the screams, rushed to the aid, but the flames had already been extinguished. ——_t+a -o Liquor License to Glenn Williams. The county commissioners of Yad- kin instructed the sheriff a few days ago to issue retail liquor license to N. Glenn Williams. This looks strange under the prohibition law, but doubt- léss all parties knew what they were doing.

WEDDED IN ROOM WHERE HER FATHER LAY DAD. An unusual wedding ceremony took place in Mount Vernon last night when Miss Daisy Hele, of that place, was married to iran- cis M. Oliver, of London, Eag- land. An hour latter, in the same room, the funeral services were held for her father. — Miss Helme’s father, John ©.

The wedding and funeral servicee were in charge of Rev. Charles R. Seymour, pastur of the Ver- non Heights Congregational Church. The wedding, a very solem one, occurred at7 P. M. while in the same room the body of the brides father lay in a casket. Only a few relatives were pre- sent. At 8 o’clock friends and relatives gathered and the funer- al services were held. It was the original intention of the couple to get married on January 25, and rather than postpone it the family decided to have the ceremony performed, even under tee extraordinary circumstances. —_—_—7 +r —_____ 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. pneumonia, diptheria and_ scarlei: 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 oil 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.

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- 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 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 the cannon of the ioreigners 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 it will never again support neighborhood stores. Newspaper advertising has eliminated the strength of being locally prominent, and five cent street car fares have cut out the advantage of being “‘around the corner.” A store five miles away can reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and draw 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 ~ew customers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertising but of being able to survive without it. The thing you have to consider is not 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 to 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 if he discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it.

Mooers, of Tennessee, once: “go into a section where the soils are poor, and you will find poor people and little or no progress.” We all know, from our own obser- vation, that this is true. We all know, too. that soils, in large meas- ure, are simply what farmers have made them, or what their farming system—or lack of system—has made them, The first thing to do, then, is to set about building up our soils, No surer. quicker, or more economical method of doing this can be found than the adoption of a well- regulated rotation of crops—a rota- tion that has for “‘its first aim the building up of the soil,’? and which, therefore, “includes at least one leg- uminous crop for each crop that draws its nitrogen from the soil.” Such rotation generally followed, would, inten years, build up our lands so that it would be “easy for us to average forty bushels of corn ora bale of cotton to the acre.” Then we would see all over the south. not little ‘‘shackly” stables with a disconsolate mule or. two standing by.

S, department of agri- culture and Prof. L. O. White, coun- ty superintendent of education, will go out into the Shiloh township to organize Boys’ Corn Clubs at two schools. The purpose of the formation of these clubs is to arouse a greater interest in agricultural pursuits by stimulating the study of soil, plants, fertilizers and methods of cultiva- tion. For this purpose each, boy, who enters the club will agree to cul- tivate an acre of corn by the meth- CGS now being advocated by the Farmers’ Cooperative Demonstra- tion work in connection with the state department of agriculture, The work done thorugh the former de- partment the last year shows by records that the yields on the de- monstration farms were more than twice as much as the average on all other farms in the county. The state department of agriculture has set aside $TU0.00 to be devided into three prizes and be given to the three boys in the state making the largest yield of corn per acre and comptying with the rules and regu- lations furnished them. The Farm- ers Cooperative demonstration work will furnish good seed corn to as many of the boys as desire it and will help them in securing the best known methods of corn growing. In Misissippi one county raised over $500 to be distributed among the boys if the Corn Clubs who made the largest yield. We believe valua- ble donations could be secured in this county if the proper steps were tak- en, For instance a merchant might offer a good plow stock, a good har- row, a bag or two of fertilizer, a good hat, an overcoat, a pair of shoes or anything else they might see fit to ofrer. It certainly beh- ooves the patrons and farmers in a school community to stimulate the work among boys by ofyering a prize ix no more than $5.00 or $10.00. The fathers of the boys who are/in the work are expected to show some interest in it by giving the boy all that He can raise on the acrecmfwp plan states that the boy must culti- vate the acre of corn himself and must not use more than $10.00 worth of commercial fertilizers, Barn yard manures are not counted in the $10 worth nor is the amount limited. The purpose of these clubs may be summarized as follows: 1. To give the boys something practical in the way of agricultural education. 2. To make farm life more in- teresting, farming more profitable, and thus check the migration of boys from the farm to the city. 3. To assist schools in the teach- ing of agriculture and to extend the work of the agricultural college and experiment Station. 4 To encourage soil study, plant breeding, best methods of cultiva- tion and fertilizers. 5. To teach the coming genera- tion of farmérs to get the best re- sults from his labor, soil and capital by doing successful farming. Similar clubs will be organized in the Mooresville section and proba- bly various other parts of the coun- ty. All the work in the county will come under the directions of Prof. L. O. White, who will work in co- operation with the special agents of the department of agriculture. We hope to see fhis work extended to quite a number of schools, and in fact to_organize a County Corn Cluk with these various school clubs as members. If the county itself does ‘not have a fair this fall, arrange~ ments wil lbe made for this County Corn Club to have an exhibit of the products of the corn grown and to have judges to award the prizes.

We anxiously awaited the bureau’s report which came unexpectedly at a less number of bales than we antici- pated and hence this was one of the factors in the advance. The cotton market seems fo be in good hands regardless of speculation and with good takings from abroad and a more steaded market for the manu- factured goods at home we can’t see why with every manufacturing in- terest trying to prize it up that it will not reach the much prized fig- ure of 10c, If there is afiy curtail- ment in receipts and it seems that this will be done as most of the cot- ton sellers who have been forced to sell have about brought about th re- sult of large receipts. Then we can almost decide not to wait until spring planting for the price to be determined. As a rule the warmers are wise enough to get rid of his low- er class first and therefore the re- maining part of the crop will more than likely be of the best grades. Our local market for these grades have ruled higher than any other markets up to this time. The profits by our local buyers being compara- tively nothing, we must place before our friend why this state exists. Statesville is a junction from which we can ship to the manufacturing interest because we have not only our own mills but close to Salisbury, Albemarle Newton, Ashevlle,i Mooresville and other points close. We'can say truthfully state that our markets is at the head of the line. Very respectfully, x GREGORY & BRAWLEY, —— Wants The Mascot Forever and Ever. The following letter was received from Wm.

Nashville, Tenn., Jan, 27.—The first day of the second week of the trial of Col. Duncan B. Cooper B. Cooper, Robin Cooper, and John D. Sharpe for the siaying of former Senatoér Edward W. Carmack, closed this evening with no further progress in the selection of the jury, Deputy sheriffs are riding the county to sum- mon the third venire of 500 tales- men which will report Friday. But if no progress was made in , completing the jury, it at least was not depleted. Judge Hart spent the day hearing testimony as to the com- petency of Juror Leigh and in form- ulating a definition of drunkenness. About 50 witnesses were examinedon both sides. Those for the state were positive that Leigh was drunk when selected and was an habitual drunk- ard. One man swore that Leigh had de. ‘clared that Carmack wae a “blank, blank, and should have been killed long ago”’ Others said he had ex- pressed the opinion that Sharpe was justifiably provoked. On the side of the defense the wit- nesses admitted Leigh was a drink- ing man, that he had taken a “few”’ the day he was chosen on the jury but they insisted he was not drunk within the definition of Judge Hart— that is, that he was not making a public nuisance of himself: ae R. H. Sherrin, a member of the grand jury called by the defense thought Leigh Was sober on last Wednesday. On cross-examination he vigorously denied that after he he had gone on the bond of former Sheriff Cartwright, arrested for per- jury it connection with this case, he had said ‘Never mind Tom, this charge against vou will have to come before me in the grand jury room.” After both sides had closed, Judge Hart called Juror Leigh, explained the charges to him and told him his the charges to aa and told him his privileges “IT was drunk on Tuesday,” Leigh promptly agreed, ‘‘and also on Wed- nesday morning, the day I was select- ed. I never said Carmack should have been killed long ago.’? He said he Had declared a belief in Sharpe’s innocence but denied say- ing anything about the Coopers. On crossexamination he qualified his ad- mission of drunkeness and declared that what he meant was that that “was a little drinking’? those two days. “You mean you were under the {i- fluence of liquor the day before you were selected and on the day itself.” “Yes sir.” “But not drunk?” “No sir, Whén I’m drunk I don’t know anything?” in He admitted that he had been hav- ing two a@rinks a day since being on the jury. The court ordered Leigh returned to the jury room until his case was decided and he was advised to ‘‘cut out” the two little drinks a day here- after. Attornéy General McCarn asked that an order be entered prohibiting the serving of liquor to the jury and the court so Ordered except in tly2 case of Juror Whitworth, whose phy- sician prescribed it. Judge Hart then said he would listen to discus- sions on the case in the morning, at which time, too, the charges against —_—__++ oro Rehearsal Tonight.

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- 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 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 ancreased 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 car fares have cut out the advantage of being “around the corner.” A store five miles away can reach out through the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sitsby and see the people on your own block enticed away withous your being able to retaliate-or supply new customers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertising but of being able to survive wéihous #. The thing you have to consider is-noe omly: an _ extension of your business but holding what you al- ready have. Advertising is an invesiment, the cost of which is in the same proportion to its returns as seeds are to the harvest. And it is just as preposterous for you to consider publicity as an expense as it would be for 2 farmer to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer if;he discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it.

As soon as it was discovered that the man had made an attempt toend his life, friends at ore called in several physicians, who applied the stomach pump and soon relieved the man of the deadly drug, resuscitating him to analmost normal condition. Evans came to the city yes-. terday and got mixed up with a crowd of court-week and horse- traders, making a “swap,” in which he was badly worsted. He then began drinking and was haled before the police pustico this morning and fined for his night of hilarity. There is no other reason assigned for the rash deed. _—— 4 Surry Man Constructs Airship. Frank Bland, who is well known in this city, but whose homeis at Rockford, this county, is a gen- ius in his way, for he has practi- cally completed an airship that those who have seen it say will certainly to the work for which it is intented. Young Bland, who is nineteen years old, took in the Jamestown Exposition last fall and it was there that he obtained his ideas for a flyiug machine, and shortly after his return he began the construction of a machine that, ifin proves a success, will bring him renown and fortnne. The machine which is said to be a splended peice of work was modeled and built by himself; at odd hours, and strang to say there will be no inflation or gas- oline power, but it will be prop. elled by pedals just like a bicyle The parts are ball bearing and floating ship is as light’ as can be made Witha few finishings touches and about three weeks time the young inventor will be ready to test the machine, and he firmly believes that hehas tru. ly solved the problem of aeria) navigation- Mt Airy Brezze CASTORIA - For Infants and Children.

Washington, Jan. 27.— Whether or not a man has a right to snore and whether or not a man who talks in his sleep is justified in shooting the man who snores is & double-bar- relled problem inlaw and _ bed- room ethics put up toa jury ia Justice Gould’s court at the city hall to-day. If William Domington, an in- mate of the Soldiers Home, where the shooting occurred, on Sep- tember 9, 1908, really did snore so loudly and so unmusically as to give William H. White pro- vocation to shoot him, then White, who is said to deliver lectures while asleep, may be ac- quitted ona charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. As if that were not trouble enough fora judge and a jury, there looms up the monumental question of whether Domington was awakened by his own snor- ing. Assistant District Attorney Turner sprang that joke in his Opening address to the jury. —_— Lame Sholder. This is a common form of muscular rheumatism. No internal treatment is neded.

London, first time in many months the Bank of England secured the! ; gold from the mines available on the market today to the extent of $3,320,000. There was no continental com petition, due partly to the cir. cumstances that the recent ad- vance in the bank’s rate of dis- count. has caused an improve. ment in Paris check on London, and the fact that Paris bas ceased the accumulation of gold now that the new Russian loan soutoftheway. The fact that the Bank of England is now in the position to obtain gold on the open market possibly will avert a further increase in the bank rate at present. _—_——++e- oe _ “For ten years I eeuldn’t ride a horse without being in torture from piles,” writes L.

They Visit the Chain Gang and Va- Other Institutions of the County—Convicts Want More Re- lifous Teéachings—County Home rious is Pure and Simple “A Poor House” —Jail Matters Brought Up. State of North Carolina, Iredell County. : ee own January “9 1909, To His Honor Judge E. B. Jones, presiding at Spring term: We, the grand jury, have been in session five days and have passed on all bills that came before us and beg to submit thé further report, viz: Have visited the jail, chain gang, county home and inspected carefully each institution and have examined the county court house. We find the chain gang out at work, scattered some distance, and could in the lim- ited time see very little of the hands, but what few there were at the camp reported that thy were well cared for and had all the comforts such a life could expect. Said they appreciated very much any religious teaching or preaching they had had but said some months had elapsed since such services had been held. We would for these unfortunate persons invite the attention of the ; eh Z various Christian denominations and ministers of the gospel to avail themselves of the opportunity to do good by viskting the convict camp and thus administer to them spiritual things. By committee we visited the county home for the aged and infirm. While the name has been changed from the poor house to the one already mentioned, yet from what we have known of this place for years, we think the greatest change that has taken place there is alone in the name. We found thirty persons there, viz: 5 white males, 11 fe- males; colored 8 males, 6 females. Out of the number we find four in- sane white persons, 3 male and 1 female. Three blind persons, 1 male and two females. They do not complain any more of their fate than one would expect, but we wish to report for them that its pure and simple ‘“‘The Poor House” and feel that we are on the right track when we recommend to the county con- missioners that they at their next meeting talk of the advisability of tearing down these old fire traps and building’ homes for the unfortunate Ones that become the dignity of the Christian county of Iredell. The keeper, Mr. Perry, is doing the best he can under the circumstances. On our drives to the home and the gang we could not but help notice the difference 4n the roads—one a macadam and the other not and we commended our public spirited county commissioners and they will bardon us when ié submit the sug- sestion, viz: That in the future they build macadam roads on one side of the highway alfa not in the middle as easily nine months of the year the roads are good and when the com- mon’ @uSt road is good nearly every one prefers driving on it as to the macaGgam and then this at once be- comes such a saving to the macadam. We visited all fiie offices in the court house and found them well kept. We notice a fine of $5.00 for spitting on the courthouse floors. We recom- mend this be rigidly enforcedgand Where any room is used by a mag- istrate to hold court that such mag- istrate-or congregation be required to pay the janitor extra for cleaning Same. Thé Jail is already a con demned institution and is a dirty place, and we commend the county Commissioners and a former grand jury for inaugurating a move to build a new one and urge that this work Be bégun as soon as practical and we would further recommend ho new property be bought to build On but that the new jail be built im- mediately west of the county court | house, with all modern conveniences anf connecting by- an overhead bridg@to the court house so prison- ers canbe quickly and safely taken from prison to court.

Sharpe, accused of the murder of former Senator E. W. Carmack, ended today with every prospect of a further de- pletion. The court excused Jurors Leigh and Jackson, charged with drunken- ness and bias, today and intimated that Juror Whitworth would be ex- cused tomorrow. The latter has been ill for several months and two that if he remains on the box his life may be forfeited. The state opposed Whitworth’s re- lease and the court ordered the phy- Sicians sumoned to testify, They will appear toniorrow. At the same time the new venire of five hundred men will appear and an effort will be made to get front them the balance of the jury. Following Juror Leigh’s release from the box he Was arrested on a charge of perjury and released on $1,500 bond to answer before the grand jury. Juror Leigh’s case was first dispos- ed of without argument by the attor- neys. The court said: “I have given the case careful con- sideration weighing the testimony for and against the juror. The charge of drunkénness is controvert- ed, but is is evident that the juror tis biased and™“as such, the retaining of him would-make the jury a prejudic- ed one. Therefore I excuse Mr. Leigh from service.”’ The defensé-served notice that it would ask the court to dismiss the eight men left on the jury on the ground that the dismissal of Leigh had prejudiced the others against the defendant. The formal motion to this effect will be filed later. The first witness against Juror Jackson swore that the juror, who is a blacksmith, -would put a shoe or two on a horse, collect for the work and go firee miles to a saloon for a drink before he would finish the job. Squire Lewis, who has lived near Jackson for twénty-five years, saw him sober once in twenty-five years. At this point thé defense admitted that Jackson was unfit, and consent- ed to his désmissal. Before further examination of tal- esmen, the case of Juror Whitworth will be disposed of by the court. Here HELP BURY WAR PRISONER Old Comrades in Andersonville Keep Death Compact.

Will Cost Him His Life—Defense | Native of Iredell, Now Editorial Writ | eron Houston Post, to Visit Old Haunts in the State—Deacon Hemphill to Be Visited Also by Him Who Was “Born in North Carolina.’ Washington, Jan. 27.—There is a real, jolly treat in store for the good people of Iredell county. Two of her sons—members of the para- graphers’ union—are preparing to pay a visit to their old haunts. George Marcellus Bailey, the brill- iant paragrapher of The Houston Post, has been here, stopping at the Raleigh, and left tonight for Raleigh, Later he will meet his fellow crafts- man, Mr Joseph Pearson Caldwell, editor of The Charlotte Observer, and arrange to journey with him to Iredell, where they were born many years ago. George Marcellus Bailey is one of the most famous editorial writers in the land. Five years ago he was in the press galleries here as corres- pondent for The Houston Post which at the end of that time took him back to Texas t6 write political edi- torials and pointed paragraphs about "possums, hog and hominy, Deacon Hemphill and the Old Man, and he has succeeded so well that his repu- tation extends “throughout the Un- ion. Two days ago, clad in regular Southern togs (save his vest, which is red and fourbuttoned), Mr. Bailey came here fo-deliver the electorial vote of his State to the Vice-Presi- dent, Laden with all sorts of gold and silver, given him in the Lone Star State, he proceeded to Wash- ington by easy stages stopping in Tennessee and other States en route Having performed his duties and purchased a few presents for Mrs. Bailey and his little girl, he has now departed for North Carolina. About 38 or 40 years ago, not earlier, George Marcellus Bailey, was born in Iredell (pronounced Iree-dell by him} but did not re- main there very long His mother lived and died and was buried there, and while in the county he will visit her grave Mr. Bailey worked at the print- er’s trade in Durham and Raleigh and other North Carolina towns. He was compositor first, then reporter, correspondent, And, now, editorial writer. In appearance he is rather tall, WITH dark hair and mustache, and striking l6oking face. As a Washington correspondent he was very popular. He is a first cousin of Mr, James H Southgate, but is not as strong a prohibitionist as the Durham mah. Having spent a few days in North Carolina, Mr. Bailey will proceed to Charleston, where he will see Dea- con Hemphill, of The News and Cou- rier. There is, it is said here, a bare possibility of the editors of The Norfolk Landmark The Char- lotte Observer, The Charleston News and Courier and other well-known Southern writers meeting with Mr. Bailey at some Convenient point— say Norfolk, where it is not tee dry —and celebrating the first meeting of the paragraphers who mage the “Hong Kong Gander” and fegetion is pulled off. The New York Sun will send down a reporter and Har- per’s Weekly a cartoonist to keep tab on the Southerners There is no promise, however, that the Com- moner wil! be represented.

Mr. Long is one of the best talkers of the young men of the state: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the joint democratic caucus: I arise with no hope, Mr. Chair- man and gentlemen of the caucus, of paying the heart felt and deserving tribute due the distinguished ser- vant with whom we meet to do hom- age tonight, but rather to voice in some measure the sentiment of a great section of North Carolina and to express their appreciation and gratitude to our present matchless senator for a faith well kept and a duty well performed. I congratulate North Carolina at this hour. I congratulate her for the peace that smiles like an angel of light upon her happy and prosper- Ous people; for the spotless, unsul- lied reputation of her public ser- vants, while other states have been put to shame under the penetrating light of a quickened conscience and . enlightened public opinion, the hon- or and name of North Carolina has shined like a polished diamond. I congratulate her for the proud and exalted position which this great commonwealth now occupies in the shimmering Salaxy of American States. All, Mr. Chairman, the glo- rious fruitage of democratic admin- istration in North Carolina. Six years ago, Mr. Chairman and senators, the democratic party chose aS one of her standard bearers the Hon. Lee S Overman and when he raiséd that standard there was blot- €d out forever the last slimy trail of fusionism, disgrace and ruin from the fair face of North Carolian. I the battle, we meet to renew his com- denly arrived in a strange land, and upon being asked by the natives who he was, the reply came: “I am a part of all I have met.” This man, Mr. Chairman, fs a part of all North Carolina.

Several weeks ago the ‘Teneseean printed a list of monthly and weekly publications who do not accept any liquor advertising. It included prac- tically every well-known magazine and periodical in the United States, with the exception of Harper’s Week ly and Harper’s Monthly And now the publisher af those two widely circulated periodicals have announ- ced that liquor advertising is to be eliminated from their pages as soon as present contracts expire. Such is the trend of the adver- tising world. Nobody is quicker to feel the pulse of the public than ex- tensive advertisers. They have dis- covered that the women of America are moving almost in a solid mass against the liquor traffic. They have found that women will not read ad- vertising which is on the same page or even in the same publication with liquor advertisements. The result has been that the publisher had to listen to the demand for the with- drawal of the pages given over to the brewer and the distiller. And now the crusade has reached the daily papers) Other advertisers refuse to appear on the page with liquor advertisements, and the ene- Inies of the liquor traffic will not permit journals carrying liquor busi- ness to enter their homes’. Dry ter- ritory is rapidly placing an embargo On wet papers. Furthermore the liquor man himself is gradually dropping newspaper advertising. Af- ter long conferences the brewers and distillers have decided that newspa- per publicity is one of the chief caus- es of the great prohibition wave which is sweeping the whole world They have found that it is bad policy to try to convince the world that $Seorge Washington and every other freat man of history was great be- suse he drank liquor. Circulars are now the pet medium of advertising for the attentionnun of advertising for the liquor dealers They attracfless attention and do not flaunt the foul traffic before the public in such an obnoxcious man- ner. So the jughouse and the dis- tiller will try from now on to de- bauch dry territory by flooding the mails with offers of firearms to the young boys and men who will solicit orders for them. What more po- tent agent of crinié is there than the hideous liquor flolder picturing bowie knivés and dirks and revoly- ers which the whiskey sellers offer as premiums to those who will for- ward their unBoly traffic? —————-<> > —_ Stockholders Meeting.

Long Discusses it— Will Attempt The Passing of a New Law, Senator Z. V. Long, of this county in discussing the bird law question, advocated and was ir 7avor of pass- ing an absolute state prohibiting} law forbidding the sale and killing in any manner, shooting or trapping any quail in the state of North Caro- lina Tor a period of three years. That law could not be passed in the Sen- ate, then Mr_ Long proposed to sub- stitute a bill which will only pro- hibit tite selling of quail. But Mr. Long’s subsfitute bill ; providéd that any erson killing’ any birds On the land of another should pay~the owner of the said land the sum of ten cents for each and €very bird killed. Now Mr. Long does not think it fair to say that the farmer cannot sell birds which he kills on his own lang, and allow hunters to shoot and slaiighter all they please, and he ‘thinKs and contends that in order to protect the birds adequately is to get into the mind of the people, who own the btrds the great value of their game__ If his bill could pass requiring every body to pay the owner of the land for each bird kill- ed that the farmers would see the great value of the quail and would not allow them to be slaughtered and killed by the pot ‘hunters, and negroes who care nothing for game. He further says he thinks it far wiser to pay the money to the farm- ers who own the land than to be pouring it into the coffers of the Auduborn society, Unfortunately the bird law was brought up in the senate while Mir. Long was in this dity attending ¢ourt, and his substitute bill was lost, but he says he will revive it if it can be done wher he returns to the senate next week. i This law is a good one, and no doubt it will have the approval of every person in the state who wishes to protect the quail. It is a law that would protect the birds and still give the people a law that would un- doubiedly be agreeable to all right thinking people. <<< COLONEL BAILEY ARRIVES.

Representatives of The United States Canada, Mexico Wil Meet at the White House—Canada Has Al- ready Taken Active St@ps—Prest- dent Feels That it is a Success. Washington, Jan, 30.—Arrange- ments for the North American Con- servation Conference between repre- sentatives of the United States, Can- ada and Mexfco, at the White House, February 18, are going forward rap- idly, following the cordial accept- ance by Sir Wilfried Laurier, pre- mier and Earl Grey, Governor-gener- al, of Cana@a,-and President Diaz of Mexico, of Président Roosevelt’s in- vitation to send delegates. The ‘conference SSM2ETiss the situation with regard to the natural resources of the respective countries and help prepare a genéral plan adapted to promote’ tie welfare of the nations | concerned in accordance with Presi- dent Rodsevelt’s suggestion. This International Conference will meet at the White house by President Roosevelt’s invitation. It will not be a large gathering as was the conference of governors at the White house jast May, or the joint Conservation Gonference last De- ember beiweén-the National Conser- tion Commission, the governors and the representatives of State Conser- vaton Commissions and Conserva- tion Committees of National organjf- zations. The attendance will be limited to the representatives of Canada and Stéxico and representa- ives or the staté department of the United States government and of other executive departments which 2¢n render particular assistance to the conferences in their deiibera- tions, and the National Conservation Commission. -Cenada has ‘already taken active steps in preparation fer the confer- ence and recéntuy sent to the Na- tional Conservation Commission a number of carefully prepared maps which show the present status of the public lands of the Dominion as well as the distribution of the prfncipal natural resources and the develop- ment o; its transportation systems. The Canadian authorities have also gathered and sent to the Chairman of the commission a comprehensive collection of government documents bearing on the natural resources of the country. These have been care- fully indexed and bound together according to subjects. They will be used at tie forthcoming conference. President Roosevelt feels that the connection between the United States and the two nations which lie to the north and south is so intimate that they can consider their mutual -in- terests with regard to natural re- source sfrom the standpoint of the general welfare of the continent with ‘small regard to the politfcal boun- dary lines which separate them. In- deed, it is said thaf he considered in- viting Canada and Mexico to the first Conservation Conference at the White house but that he refrained from doing so because he was unwill- ing to run the remotest risk of ask- ing these two nations to associate themselves With the conservation movement Défore it was certain that it was going to succeed. Now that success is assured he feels that since the two nations have identical inter- ests and identical aspirations they work together along conservation lines just as the representatives of the states work together with regard to state boundaries. ——_<~+ oe ———_—_ WOMAN SAVns A FRIEND AT RISK OF HER LIFE, New York, Jair 29.—-Miss Bessie Love, a. sténographer, at the risk of her life saved her roommoate, Min- nie Brooks, from death last night by dashing back into a burning apart- “ment house in West 47th street, and dragging her to the window.

'Miss Mattie Gillespie Probably Fa- tally Burned—H€r Clothes Caught From Fir@place. Miss Mattfe Gilespie a white lady aged between 50 and 60 years was aged between 50 and 60 was per- Mr. Frank Minis about three and a hali miles east of this city on the Mocksville road today about 12:15 o’eclok. From the _ information gathered, it seems that the lady had been sitting by a fire fn the open fire place, and arose to go out into the yard not knowing there was any fire in her clothes. When she reached the open air, the brisk wind which is blowing so hard today, fanred the fire into a blaze and be- fore she could put fit out she was en- veloped in a flame. Mr. Minnis, with whom she lives, immediately ran to her assistance, tearing her clothes off of her body. In doing this his hands were serious- ly burned also. She was carried into the house and Dr. Frank Sharp was cailed. who assisted by Dr. Reuben Campbeil, dressed the burns. A gentleman who was at Mr. Min- is’ home after Miss Gillespie was burned, says that all her clothes were burned off her body, and her hair partly burned from her head, , Lhere is not much hope entertained for her recovery, for her body was badly burned. A negro who was coming to the city, stated that he heard the screams of Miss Gillespile, and ran to help extinguish the fire. Arriv- ing there, he said all the clothes ex- ‘cepting an undershirt was burned from her body. Mr. Minis had pulied the burning clothes from her body, until the ends of his fingers were bleeding and he could no no more. The negro stated that he secured a quilt which he wraped around Miss Gillespie and caried her into the house, and laid hfer on the bed, He then went out to the barn, where the fire occurred, and _ suc- ceeded in extinguishing the flames which were threatening the barn. He then returned to the house to find the quilt in which she was wrapped burning, the family befng so scared that they could do nothing. He pulled the quilt from the bed. He stated further that when he wrap- ped the quilt around her body that ‘the skin slipped off, caused from the burn. Miss Gillespie ‘4s sufigring intense agony, so the negro stated, there be- ing hardly any place on her body, but what was burned. ++ —____ Mr. Maher Appointed as_ Freight Agent. Mr. W. ‘I. Maher who has for some time been agent for the Southern Railway Co., was yesterday appoint- ed by Superintendent R. E. Simpson as freight agent at Asheville to suc- ceed Agent J. McGary, who has re- signed. Mr. Maher’s successor has not yet been selected for this station, but the appointment will be made in the next day or so. Mr. Maher’ will leave for Ashe- ville tonight to take up the duties of his new office Monday. His family ily will remain here several weeks before going to Asheville to join him. The citizens of Statesvile while glad to see Mr. Maher receive his pro- motion, are sorry to see him leave, for during his stay in thfs city he has won many friends among the business men and public at large, by his courteous treatment. He, by his strict business discipline, deserves, the promotion given him, and he has the best wishes of all the citizens for success in his new position. In an interview with Mr. Maher this morning, the Mascot was in- formed by him that it is with the greatest sorrow that he is move away from Statesville, but, for the promo- tion he will accept it. Mr. Maher stated that in a conversation with Supt. Simpson yesterday, he told that gentleman that Statesville was the best town in North Carolina. and in a few years, with the present out- look it would outstrip Asheville and that Charlotte would have to get up and hustle, if we were not equal to them in thé business line. ‘Furth- ermore,’? he said, “Statesville’s citi- zens are the best I ever saw. I hate to leave them.”’ a The ‘Crystal,” In another part of this paper our readers will see the announcement ad of the Crystal theatre, which will open this evening at 7 o’clock, with a good show, and free to all.

Man Under Arrest for Retailing Kfll- ed by His Friend Through Mis- take—Officer Suffers S rious In- jury in Face—Sherfff and Deputies Leave” Lenoir in Pursuit of the Offenders—Full Account of Fatal Shooting. Lenofr, N. C., Jan. 29.—Last night about 9 o'clock, four miles west of Mortimer, this county, in Harper’s Creek neighborhood, was the scene of a shooting scrape, The participants in the battle were Deputies Sam Smith and Zeke Gar- land and Dolph and Keith Pritchard. The trouble arose over the arrest of W. W. Honeycutt, for whom the officers had a capias for retailing. When the deputies went to the home of Honeycutt they were pleas- antly greeted and were told they need not fear any trouble as he knew they had conie for him and he was willing to go. The prisoner told he officers to go with him up the mountain to see the Pritchards and he would fix up his bond. Honeycutt’s wife went with them, the woman going ahead of the offi- cers. One of the Pritchadrds returned with the woman and the other went out in the woods and demanded the oficérs to turn Honeycutt loose or he would kill both of them and began ‘to fire, He aimed to kill Deputy Garland and shot Honeycutt through the heart killing him instantly, and the second shot took effect in Garland’s face. The prisoner was handcuffed to Garland. Smith returned the fire and while roloading his pistol it was shot from his hand. These men have defied the law, it 4s said, for many yéars and this af- ternoon the sheriff will go to the scene with six deputies and if posi- ble bring the offenders back to Le- noir and iodge them in jail. ——4+ Corn, But not the Liquid Kind.

The seller showed up at the appointed place and time named with a pint or a quart of corn and got his money for it at the hfgh price of 50 cents a pint, There was not so much fake about the transaction after all, for it was not corn juice that was sold, but just plain corn, sound and fit for use.

This institution was formerly called the poor house, but sometime since has been given the name of the county home. The grand jury iin their report yesterday, stated furth- ermore that the change in the name was the only improvement that had been made on that place in some- time.

Yesterday for Instance, twice the juice was cut of here. These cut offs cause our mills and factories to have to shut down, as well as num- bers of smaller plants using the pow- er.

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.

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 aoe: 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 times 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 realize the importance of advertising, not only as the means of extendimg 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. Bui 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 ‘‘aresnd the corner.” A store five miles away can reach out teugh the columns of the daily newspaper and next door neighbor to its aisles, while you sit see the people on your own block enticed away w# your being able to retaliate or supply mew custemers to take their place. It is not a question of your ability to siand the cost of advertising but of being able to survive withous tt. The thing you have to consider is nes esly an extension of your business but holding what you ab ready have. Advertising is an investment, the cost of which is in the same proportion to its returns as seeds are to 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 ifghe discovered that he could profitably increase his crops by employing it.
