In the Superior Court yesterday the trial inchlef -was a suit for men tar anguish brought by Mrs. 11a Dubois against the Postal Telegraph Com pany, in which the plaintiff was rep resented by . Mr.- J. ,H. Pou and the .defendant by Mr. R. C. Strong. According to . the evidence it ap peared that & telegram was sent to the plaintiff' from Burlington, which read: , -'Mother dead. Burial tomorrow- af2 o'clock.- 4 The telegram was' delivered 'at Burlington at 12:65 P. m., ftnd-arrived in Raleigh at 1:05 p. m. . . Thefe"was, however a failure to deliver until 8:45 the following morn ing when the , last .train . on - which plaintiff might have arrived at Bur lington,' in, time for .the funeral' bad gone. In consequence of the failure to' deliver the plaintiff testified that she , ffeTed great anguish, etc, to her hurt and .damage $1,960. T It appeared that the deceased was not tho' mother of the plaintiff, but her ; step-grandmother. Although tho" ..plaintiff's mother is living and was presents the court house, it was stated- that the-etep-grandmother, had taken careof 'the plaintiff as a girl for a period covering ten years, and the relations between them were those of mother and child jbo far as atfec was concerned.:" 'The mother of the plainUff testified Jjthat during this period her daughter was In the habit of catling L her step-grandmother "mother" when her real mother was present and "Ma" when i her real mother waa not present. In the pres ence of the real mother and the step grandmother, the appellation given by the, plaintiff to her real mother waa "Ma," and to4 her' step-grandmother, "mothers' y It waa not explained, however, whether "mother" or Ma was the' tenderer term, i In testifying, in her own behalf the plain tiff also said that her step-grandmother had "left her all "her things," and she knew that she was going to do so when she died. . The-defcndant Introduced no testi mony; Mr. Strong relying In his ar gument upon the Question of the re lationship of a step-grandmother and upon the theory that the plaintiff should have telegraphed to Burling toij 'to postpone the funeral. After remaining but for some time the Jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, but scaled the money value of her anguish down to fSOO. v Otlter Case of local Interest. In. the, ease'i'of Q, S.

Salisbury Is the strong-hold of the liquor, business of North Carolina. There reside the richest distillers and there they can command most sup port. ;. ' ; . . 1 The call is Issued by Mr. George L. Morton, who as member iof the House from New Hanover, led the light agalns the Watts act. ; against the Ward act. and against submitting the pending State Prohibition law In the Legislature. He is a strenuous fighter and In three Legislatures was the spokesman of the interests opposing the Watts act, the Ward act, and State Prohibition. j But the men who have fought tho good right and rescued ; seventy-five counties from the saloon and the still, have every time had to fight Mr. Morton, and they hav learned honf to catch on to his cunt and they will carry state Prohibition just as they have won the! other ependid vic tories for Temperarico that have bless- ed North Carolina.

The appearance of this1 call Indl tates the sort of campaign that Is to be waged and it will be seen later that the liquor dealers have decided to "put up the stuff" to try : to reduce the majority for State Prohibition. It may be that those who live In Sails bur),, Wilmington and a few other places may think It possible to defeat the act just as Mr. Morton thought he could defeat the Watts act,-the Ward act and prevent the State Pro hibition referendum. Mr. Morton fought vigorously and never; quit fighting, .but every time the Temper ance forces won the battle; and Cap tain Morton Is destined again .to lead a fourth) charge Into a fourth inglori ous defeat Mr. Morton invites all who are "aginst the populistle ideas" and all who are "against the present prohibi tion billi Exactly what, he means by "populistle Ideas" Is; not defined. Mr. Morton baa been a long and strenuous opponen: of everything that looked like raUroad regulation and he proba bly wishes to invite the railroad folks into the parlor where they will find that the anti-prohibition spid$f will be on hand. . The men who are the strongessupporters of State Prohibi tion are the railroad men. and ' when Mr Morttn gets them to join in a move, ment to stand for saloons and stills he will be able to convert the : cheaper metals into gold and to make oil and water mix, .:.; i VETERINARY SURGEONS.

A notable medical ' discovery and one that appeals especially to many people in Raleigh is, the combination of Btomach remedies in the Ml-o-na treatment. : This preperation has worked wonders in cases ; of indigest or weak stomach. It aca specifically upon the walls of the stomach and bowels, strength ening and stimulating them so that they readily take ' care of the food that is eaten without distress or suf fering. So positive are the good effects fol- lowing the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by W. H. King Drug Co., and King-Crowell Drug Co. under an absolute guarantee to refund mo ney if it fails to cure. With an offer like this, none can afford to suffer with Indigestion or stomach troubles. A 60-cent box of MI-o-na will do more good than half a dozen boxes of or dinary digestive tablets. PEOPLE SF EAST WAHT BASEBALL Raleigh Association Calls a Meeting. TO BE HELD IN WILSON There Mut Be Effected an Organiza tion That Will Be Able to Finish 111 Allotted Season Indi cations Point to an En thusiastic Gathering. The Raleigh Athletic Club through its executive committee, consisting of J. B. Pearce, president; C H. Gattls, M. Rosenthal and Albert L. Cox, has Issued a call for a meeting of East ern Carolina baseball enthusiasts, to be held in Wilson on the 10th of March.1 Invitations were ?ent to the follow ing towns to have representatives ajt this meeting:. Henderson, Durham, Fayetteville, Wilson, Rocky Mount Tarboro, Kinston, New Bern. Green ville, Washington and Wilmington. The object of the meeting is to or ganize the Eastern Carolina League. There is a popular demand throughout the . east for baseball, and the mov ing forces in Raleigh that undertook to establish the league are receiving great encouragement. Another favorable -circumstance that will be of aid to the league Is the announcement by Mr. C. B. Ryan, general passenger agent of the Sea board, that effective on April 1st the Seaboard will glvo a party rate of two cents a mile per capita to parties of ten or more persons." The call l?ued yesterday is as fol lows: "We beg lo Invite you, or ask that you send a representative, to a .meet ing that will be held In Wilson, N. C, on Tuesday, March . 10th, to form a Baseball League to be composed of six cities In Eastern Carolina. The purpose of such a league needs no ex planation and your cxeprience and knowledge of baseball affairs will fur nish a guide to the sense and object of our gathering in Wilson. It Is un necessary to say that the representa tion of your city depends upon the hearty cooperation and sanction of Its representative, and therefore we urge upon you the necessity of attendance upon this meeting. "The people in Eastern Carolina want baseball, but they won't be satis fied with anything but good base ball, and to have that we must effect an organization that will be able to finish the allotted - season whatever that may be. With this end in view Invitations to attend this meeting will be sent to representative men in some nine or ten cities, so you see it is im portant that those who love the game should see to it that their city Is rep resented. "Raleigh is apparently as yet the only place where a club has been or ganized and we would suggest that you effect an organization in your city, if there is time to do so, before the meeting. All Indications point to a moat enthusiastic gathering at which we hope that your city will be well represented." MRS. 3IARY A. FREEMAN. Died at The Home of Her Daughter In Thl City Yesterday.

SSSBSSSSSSSSSSMSBBSSS Both Senators and Ro prcsontativos on Right WILL TAKE STUT.1P No Foundation For Rumor That Menu : : " -i bers of Congress are 'Fearful 4 : 1 Prohibition Election Will In- jure the Democratic Party. v i - Some days ago the news was sent out from Washington that 'Democratic members of Congresk were wary about the State prohibition m matters j and fearful the election would hurt: the t : 1 Democratic party. I That came from somebody who was taking counsel of their fears. As a matter of fact, both United States Senators are for State Prohibition, and most of the members of the House will take the stump for State prohibition. i j As an evidence of; the feeling these extracts are taken from letters writ ten by Congressmen to State Chair man Oates: j ' i Senator OvermanH-I am in i full sympathy with the I cause I of prohi bition .' i 1 Senator Slmmons-p'It is my In tention to make as many speeches in this campaign as I can." ..

Assuring you of my great f'erest Jh the campaign and my appreciation iof the necessity of getting a full vote. 1 Governor Glenn "Your letter Invit ing me to take part In the prohibition campaign about to I be inaugurated has been received, in the past I have tried to do my best for temperance, and Intend now to give all the strength I have to the! advancement of this movement.

Nothing in Whiskey to Bring Blessing to Anybody In North Carolina. 4 Rowan is to be the battle-ground of Piedmont counties in Piedmont North Carolina in the big battle for State Prohibition. Salisbury Is the oiily tpwn In all that progressive and pros perous country which permits stills and saloons. Men have become rich in the business of making and selling liquor there, and naturally they will do all they can to save their, right to make money by making- woe j The temperance forces are aroused In Rowan. They hkve already j a strong organization. ; j A large ma jority of the railroad, employes are strong for State Prohibition and as they have a big vote it Spencer thfey will take a leading part The beat informed temperance leaders believe Rowan will give a good majority fpr State Prohibition. Even the most earnest opponents concede that the vote in Rowan will jbe close, both sides claiming they will win. ' j One of the strongest) newspaper ar ticles that has appeared (and a large majority of the North Carolina, news papers are on the side of State Pro hibition) was the following editorial in the Salisbury Watchman: y "Hesitation and .Indecision j hafe A REGULAR GfRCUS Every Time Childrvn Had to Take Cod liver OiL j We have all seen or experienced It they had to be bribed their hoses held,-and some sweets ready as soon as. It was swallowed, and even the grown-ups demanded preserves, lemon or coffee in which to take cod i liver oil. i : j That was years ago, before two emi nent French chemists, j Morgues and Gautler, discovered how to separate the medicinal and - curative elements of the cod's liver from the useless, nauseating oil and produced Vlnol. ) Vlnol Is not a patent! medicine, but a real cod liver preparation, containj. lhg In a highly concentrated form aU of the body-building, strength-creating and curative elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cod's livers, with all the useless oil ellmil nated. and peptonate df iron addedf It is delicious to take, an chllren love It. - . ' i " V I We ask every mother In . Raleigh who, has a-- weak, delicate ' or ailing elilld every run-down, debilitated of aged person, and every person suffer-f Irg from pulmonary troubles to try Vinol on our offer to return money ill It falls to ftiye ! satisfaction. w'nJ King Drug Co.; Raliighi N. C ' ! never accomplished ' enough In this world of progress and aggression to give them a respectable hearing any where, yet It may be better to hesi tate than to err. But. when it be comes a duty for an intelligent being to decide between the benefits of our schools and colleges and the bar-room and I still-house, he ' who hesitates throttles, in a measure the cry of those who wear rags and go hungry because the drink demon demands the means with which they -could sup ply their needs; ! he hears not the moan of the widow who is robbed of her support and the orphan who loses the cheer of a sober father and a happy home; he tolerates theft, arson, incest, rape and murder, possibly not intentionally, but the effect Is the same nevertheless. No man who has the good of his town and county at heart, after giving the matter careful consideration, will be ! willing to re main: in such a position .long. ' He can't afford to do so. Prohibition is either right or wrong. 1 Every man is entitled to his honest,! sober opinion, and no , one with common Intelligence will think the less of one who differs from! him on any point. . We do not see things alike and therefore should be charitable and patient with one another in all things. - "We have come to the point that for a man to endorse Christianity, so briety, purity of speech, virtue, de cency, good government and morality In general, can not at the same time use whiskey and endorse drunkenness, for the former and latter principles are directly opposite in their essence and effects. The one builds up and ennobles the human character and the other drags down and degrades it We can hot see how there can be two opinions as to the truth of this asser tion and, consequently, believing that every man should come out for that which he believes is right and just, we fully endorse the campaign that is now being waged in this State In the cause ! of temperance and sobriety.' . "We feel that the moral welfare of the State, the much needed cleansing of politics and the betterment of the various branches of government will be largely the gainer should the elec tln be successful, to say nothing of the alleviation of the suffering of the innocent and defenseless, the - bright ening jof the lives and homes of thous ands of our . people because of the in creased sobriety of fathers, sons and loved ones, their increased earning ca pacity and Increased expenditures for home comforts. "We see nothing in whiskey that can possibly bring about any of these blessings, while in its use Ignorance, worthlessness, disgrace, misery and death ; are conspicuous among its re sults, j The Watchman feels It la Its duty to cast Its efforts on the side which' It believes to be for the great est good and betterment, if possible, of our people. So, with these ex pressions of our convictions and with good will toward all, we give notice that we join the fight for prohibition and will give from time to time furth er reasons why all good people should join hands and see to it that any step that tends to sobriety and the better ment of our common welfare is taken advantage of whenever the opportuni ty presents itself.'' ERRONEOUS STATEMENT. Friends of Temperance Must Meet and : Answer Distortions., (Chatham Record.) The j prohibition bil passed at the recent lextra session of our Legisla ture seems not to be understood by many persons, and we hear of many persons miking erroneous statements In regard to It,' which wo wish now to correct We havo heard It said that if It Is ratified by the people, then it would be unlawful to sell any wine for com munion or church purposes. Of course this Is untrue, and to show that It Is not true we copy the words of section 6 of the law, as follows: "Nothing in this act shall be con strued as. maklnv.it unl.Vrfu! to sell to any minister of religion or other of ficer of: a church wine to be used for religious pr sacramental purposes." "Provided further, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the sale of cider, in any quan tity, frpm the manufacturer; from fruits grown on his own lands within the State o North Carolina," j ' It is also erroneously stated by many persons that j a man cannot make and sell any wine. The bill ex pressly provides : that wine "may be manufactured or made from grapes, berries or fruits, and wine sold at the place of manufacture only, and only in sealed or crated package contain ing not less than two and one half gallons per package." : v - These corrections are now made before many honest men are unjustly prejudiced against the prohibition bill by these and other erroneous state ments which have been and may be circulated. Trying to Fool tlie Folks in the SUte of Wilkes. (Wilkesboro Chronicle.) It is being told around the county among the uninformed that if the pro hibition bill is defeated that the way is open for the promiscuous manufac ture of liquor. This is doing a wrong to the uninformed. If the prohibi tion bill; should be defeated, the present laws are still effective,; and that -mean almost prohibition in 90 per cent of the territory of the State as at present. The prohlbiion bill ap plies to. the entire State without any exemptions, while a few places like Wilmnlgion enjoy "special liquor priv ileges" &t present Killing the pro hibition bill will not -give Wilkes liquor advocates anything except what the ynow have, v Let's keep the mat ter straight so every body can vote in telllgontlyif he wants to do so.
