fllE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. WM. H. STB WAR r, Ed. and Prop. Published every Tuesday at 120 West Inniss Street. Subscription Price : $1.00 per year ; spot cash with order, 75c ta. Entered as second-class matter Jan. 19th, 1905, at the post office at Salis bury, N. 0., under the act of Congress of March 8rd, 1897. Salibbubt, N, C, Mab. 80, 1909. So "Boss" Somers came to grief in Statesville. He has been arrest ed and- charged with doing the blind tiger act in our sister city . The Watchman does not know if Somers is guilty, as charged, but if he is, he should have known better. The blind tiger business is a precarious one to engage in now, in North Carolina, though some towns may be easier than others in which to operate. e 8 "The UUl, Carnegie and Schwab ought not to "go back" on the tariff as they have done. It is the basest sort of ingratitude. The same tariff they now speak of as unnecessary and uniust has enabled them to build up large fortunes. Buthav ing been strong adherants of th tariff until these foi tunes were secure, they now say, old thing is no good, cut it We know the Republican high tariff scheme is good but for only two things, to make rich men rioher and make oor men poorer, but these objections from men like Caraegie and Schwab come at too late a date. Beside this Mr, Car negie contributed liberally to Mr Taft's campaign fund, knew what to expect from that source and should take his medicine withou complaining. not the least effort,: regardless of, their path to enforce the- law, is being made to apprehend, or bring to justice any of them. The coun ty commissioners: only recently granted a license for a so-called drug store to sell whiskey in East Spencer, notwithstanding suoh an act was in violation of the State prohibition; law, the charter of East Spencer, the incorpora tion of Christ church, and that they are indictable on each of these several counts for so doing. And there are dozens and dozens of similar things thai can be enumerated, but what is the use? Everybody knows that so long aB the present gang controls just so long will these things continue. Is it any wonder then that the mo- called Democracy is on the wane?. t is not a matter of surprise that it has a dozen members. Many M.I . . V or tne men going into tnese non partisan affairs are true-blue Dem ocrats, and they regret the neces Bity of their course, but to obtain ne enforcement or Jaw and a square deal tney are willing to make the effort by such a method. And why not? If their plans fail to carry, because a few Republi cans get into office, they can hard Jy be treated with lesB considera tion than they have been receiving at the hands of the now bewailing and so-called Democracy. Baracas Elect Officers. Sunday morning the Baraca class of the First Methodist church elected the following officers : J K. Link, president: O. W. Spen cer, vice president ; A. L. Smoot teacher : W. B . Smoot, assistant teacher; Roy Beaver, secretary E R. Fonda, treasurer; D. V. 1 Peeler, press reporter. A meeting will be held this week at which the usual committees will be appoint ed. "PE-RU-NA DID WONDERS FOR ME." THE RESULT OF BOSSISM. The result of the so-called non partisan primary in Spencer is a vindication of certain statements made by the writer during sever al elections held in the last few years in Salisbury and Rowan county. Those statements were inspired by the bossism, tyranny injustice, un-democratic and de spotic conduct of the chairmen o the town and county executive committees of the dominant par ty. We called attention to the possible results, to the final dis ruption of the pariy in the county and the fact that these self-seeking demagogues wftre more interested in themselves and certain schemes than they were in Democracy, and, that it was a matter of rale or ruin with them, in fact it looked to us like their intention was to rule and ruin. The point was reached where a decent man need not apply for recognition at the hands of the party unless he was a member of a certain gang, but, worse yet, the said gaDg did not seem to want a decent man to be a party to their schemes, tney want ed men they could handle. Such a thing as a square deal before the primaries was an impossibility. A legalized primary was demand ed, and a worthless substitute was given, bonds have been issued fraudulently, the towns finances have been wasted, debt has been needlessly incurred, proper and lawful reports, both of the town and county, have not been made, and the rights of the people have been deliberately ignored, set up on, and the right of popular suf frage has practically been taken away by three county commission ers. Talk about a free people sit ting idle and permitting the con tinuance of such wantom outrages? Talk about a free, liberty-loving, right-thinking people continuing to affectionately embrace, love and respect a party of such crimi nal features and. characteristics? But lo, we hear a wail, a Sampson wriggling under the stones of the temple that he has pulled down upon himself. The people who have gone into these non-partisan affairs are appealing for justice, that justice and fairness, that was their rightful due as citizens, if not as Democrats. There is no wail of distress from them. They find this course necessary. The good people of the town and county who believe in law and the enforce ment of it, are daily reminded of the gang's duplicity and diliberate refusal to enforce the laws of the land, if they are not really aiding in their violation. The city au thorities at the present time have all reason lo know and to believe that there are at least a dozen saloon's in Salisbury to-day, and ! ir iiii Many of the prepared foods upon the market are to be condemned Is absolutely unreliable.

It is now an assured fact that there will be a much larger vote cast at the primary election this week than has been anticiphaed so long as A. L, Smoot had no oppo sition in his race for mayor, many voters had not intended going to the polls. Bat the situation has ohanged by the advent of W. B. Straohan in the contest. There is every indication now qjba quite lively race. Judge Brown Gannot Accept. Mention was made in our last issue of the fact that Rev. M . M.Kinard had extended an invi tation to Judge J. H, Brown, of the Supreme Court cf Pennsylvan ia,to deliver an address in this city in the near future. Judge Brown has notified Dr. Kinard that owning to other pressing in gagements he will be unable to ac cept the invitation at this time. M1 MRS. ROSA BOYER. BS. ROSA BOYER, 1421 Sherman Ave., Evans ton, 111., writes: "If any one has reason to praise Peruna It is surely myself.; "Last spring I became bo run down from the serious effects of a lingering cold, that several complications united in pulling me down. I could neither eat nor sleep well, and lost flesh and spirit. "I finally tried Peruna and it did wonders for me. S In two weeks I was like another person, and in a month I felt better than I ever had before. . "I thank Peruna for new life and strength. I send; you two pictures, so you can see what Peruna has done for me." . " Better Than for Years. Mrs. Mary I Jones, Burning Springs, Ky ., writes : j "I wish to speak a word in praise of your highly valued Peruna, as I have been blessed with the golden opportu nity of giving it a fair and impartial test, and can say that I have had better health, far better, since I have been using it than for quite a number of years before. j "One of my neighbors had stomach trouble. I recommended Peruna to her, and now she is well and healthy, after having been pronounced hopeless by several physicians." Man-a-lin an Ideal Laxative. Peculiar Case of Desertion. An interesting case of desertion has come to the attention of the police of the city. The deserted is a baby girl two or three weeks old and the victim of the evident plot at desertion is an old negro woman named Lillie Jackson. Ac cording to the woman's statement a tall, welJ-dressed, handsome man with a black muRtache appeared at j her door on Brick street yesterday one week ago, bearing in his arms lan infant. It was just 'dusk and the man, having every appearance of a highbred gentleman, told the old negro that he and his wife had been suddenly called away for few days giving other plausible I apt million lao I unAiiuc; Why not get in our big voting contest? It will take a very little effort on your part to be a prize winner. If you will take the trouble to look into the matter you will see that we intend to give an interesting book to all the contestants who re ceive 5,000 votes, or more, and who do ot receive one of the three leading prizes. This book retails for $1.50 and is certainly worth a lit tle effort to obtain: If you get four subscribers to The Watchman and Recoed, our semi-weekly arrangement, at $1.00 each, yon will earn one of these j' books.

J get busy. a .i . . . . t excuses requested that the woman keep the child until their return. The woman was easily duped. She bdlieved the man sincere and agreed to take good care of the little one. The man gave the woman $3 in money, a quantity of cloth- ing lor tne oaoe and also some prepared baby food. He left and since that time has never been heard from. The woman kept the child, taking good care of it, and conhdeutly expecting the visitor to return. After three or four days wait she became uneasy and yesterday afternoon, a week after the desertion, the visitor still not appearing to claim his ward, the black woman notified the police. A newspaper man, who went to the woman's house to make inves ligations, found the infant there and well cared for. The babe bears evidence of gentle birth, is well developed and apparently strong and healthy. Lillie Jack son has become attached to the wee one but realizing that it is not right to raiee a white child, has in formed the police and request will be made that one of thecharitable institutions of the town take the deserted babe and find for it home.
