For the first time! one may hold a certificate of bank stock without the constant nightmare of double-liability. o Representative C. A. Peterson of Mitchell County has won a favorable committee report on his bill to abolish the electric chair in favor of execution of the condemned through the agency of a lethal gas chamber. Thomas W. Bost, Raleigh newspaperman. was among those appearing for the bill. Mr. Bost should qualify as an expert along this line since he has witnessed 142 electrocutions, four public and five private hangings, and six lvncliings. He says he is "about to be convinced that electrocution is the worst possible way to do the worst possible thing the State finds it necessary to do." o 1 The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES ADOIESCENCE Bv this word, is meant the period at wmcn ooys ana giris arrive at tne estate of young manhood and young womanhood. All family doctors know thi3 to be one of the most critical periods of human existence; here human beings of greater or less worth are started on the voyage of life for better or worse; the. very existence and excellence of our race depends on parental care and discipline at this stage, through which all young people must pass. Many valuable and helpful articles appear in the many parent-teacher publications of our land; all are well worth deep study by parents who are heads of families. The average boy, at puberty has his world before him; as a rule, it is a period of dreams?a sprinkle of ambition?and, much of searching for animal pleasures. He is certain of nothing; here he needs, above all else, the counsel and companionship of praverful parents more than at any other time in his career; impressions which he receives during this stage will surely abide with him longest; how important that these impressions are eerrest ones! Many earnest fathers have tripped at this, most important time in administering parental duties. See to it that your conduct is beyond reproach; that neglected boy may live to haunt your hours o? what shoold he blissful dotagd: Kxjiferienee and careful observation have shown that girls require your deepest, tenderest consideration at the early-teen age; watch your girls, not with coldness, grimness or suspicion and distrust but, in your parental arms, retain and love them into the straight and narrow path; for, there is nothing sweeter, that will pay happier dividends than a loving and appreciative daughter; nothing can surpass the love of perfectly raised young flesh and w, THE BOOK'S j .... the first line of which reads j fl i "The Holy Bible," and which con j tains Four Great Treasures .... !

Even that retired country J Eg village was not secure front the in- & vasiou of the new paganism. To his horror, tlie old priest saw one of his |g| summer neighbors, come to render the 9 detested worship, a priest of God lead- H ing him in the new idolatry.
