10 1 S;;^ - -t:^ ' ■ 'V “ ' ■■■■'■ '^ ' , ■'■' iGflEE TO eOllD A STEEL BRIDEE The ciounty commissioners of Gas ton rounty and the county commis- Rloners of Mecklenburg in joint meet ing: yesterday at the Mecklenburg court house voted that Mecklenburg and Gaston counties should co-operate in th(* .erection of a steel bridge over the Catawba river at Sloan’s ferry, on the basis of the proportionate nunilt. r of male persons on the tax books «>f each county between the ago> of 21 and 50 years. Tlio agreement was reached after a tv.;) hours' session, at 4:14 o’clock. This (lecision» js, partly at least, in anF^ver to the demand of 3,000 citi- zen^ of Mecklenburg who to that nunilier had signed a petition request ing the commissioners of Mecklenburg to rn-operate with those of Gaston in building the bridge. The petitioners, however, secured their wish only in part. They had asked in the same petition to have a bridg*’ erected at Mt. Holly in simi lar manner, and with the co-opera tion of the Piedmont Traction Com pany, but the comiiany’s demands forbade any possibility of such move. A committee of three from the hoard of Mecklenburg and Gaston met at Sloan's ferry last Thursday to look over the ground and site of the proposed bridge and decided to meet In Charlotte yesterday with both boards fully represented to de cide the matter finally. Mr. .1. H. Weddington, former chairman of the Mecklenburg board of county com missioners, and Mr. C. O. Kuester, president of the Greater Charlotte Club, appeared yesterday afternoon before the joint meeting and made speeches urging the two boards to un dertake the work. Judge Armistead Burwell was also present in the ca pacity of county attorney and watch ed after the legal phases of the prop osition for the Mecklenbiirg commis sioners. A representative of one of the bridge building companies was pres ent and was asked to make an esti mate of the cost for such a bridge as contemplated. He t%iught that the cost would be about $50,000. The next meeting of the commis sioners jointly will be in Gastonia at an early date where they will ad vertise for bids and look to other details of the work. They reserve the right to reject, any or all bids, that they consider too high and are not compcHcd to build the bridge at all if they think the cost is too high. A Fiery Temper Can Be Traced to Chemical Decom- pOiition of the Blood and i* Eas ily Overcome. A Free Trial of Curo Grains Will Prove It. Sudden outbursts of temper, tem porary insanity, the so-called brain storms and other violent departures from level-headedness are now known TO be the result of poisons. They are in the blood. And they are there be cause inactive kidneys can not strain the uric and other arids from the blood. It is utterly a waste of valu able lime to fool with so-called kidney cures. The thing to do is to look a^f ?r the .-tomach. get the food digesting properly, put those natural chemical olemruts into the Wood w'hich stimu late' oif'anic function. rhc- new discovery, Curo Grains, has woiidcrftil influence upon kidney ac tion. The effect is rapid. Many recent experiments with people suffering from uric acid poisoning showed a rapid dlsaiieparance of irritable sensa tions. A I r- s Miro seems to he removed, the I>ecuiiar finsion on the nerves, rap idity of thoucht. uncontrollable tem- j)er and other distresses are lifted.

SO.OO Brown & Co. Attacks Satoons and Cigarttte —Says They Ate Relics oj Barbarism — Quotes Dr. Broughton as to Evils of Cigarette Smoking. Crowds are hearing Rev. Dr. Hulten of the First Presbyterian church of this city, in the* series of revivalistic services he Is holding in Roanoke, Va, Last Sunday morning be preached a sermon attacking the saloon and ci garette. The Roanoke Evening News has this to say of the sermon of Dr. Hul ten: “Sunday’s services at Calvary Bap tist church marked a great era in the great revival being conducted by the Rev. Dr. H. H. Hulten, of the First Baptist church, Charlotte, N. C., for the reason that at all the services there were about forty conversions. 'The congregations at all the ser vices were larger than at any previous time during the revival. The *most interesting service of the day was that for ‘men only’ at 3:30 Sunday after noon when Dr. Hulten preached on the ‘Bases of Power,’ to at least 800 men, from the text. ‘Man looketh on outward things, but God looketh on the heart.’ He declared that the fonu- dation stone of the ‘Bases of Pow'er’ consisted first of spirituality; second, intellectuality: third, physical man hood, and that the three essential qual-* ifications to kingship w’ere a sound mind, a sound body and a sound heart and these form the real ‘Bases of Power.’ “In the course of his remarks he said that the open saloon is a relic oi' barbarism. He asked the men pres ent yhy they did not drive It out of Roanoke, and predicted that some day a Moses would appear to lead them out of the wilderness and a David would come who would destroy the Goliath of strong drinl* in our midst. “He said that a great judge in Kan sas Citv, Mo., had declared that 85 per cent or all the crime wnich had come under his observation could be traced directly, not to the drinking of whis key as many supposed, but to the use of cigarettes. He then went into an analysis of the effect of the deadly cigarette on the mind, heart and body of man, and said that Dr. Broughton had fearlessly declared that a man who would smoke cigarettes constant ly for ten years would lie, cheat, steal, get drunk, commit adultery, and eVen murder, if it fitted his purpose to do so. “This statement, w’hich the speaker thought a little harsh had been made by Dr. Broughton in Charlotte, and a commercial traveller had taken um brage to the statement and had called the famous divine a liar> when he asked him to sit down by his side, and after putting a few questions to him regarding himself and his social life effectually put a stop to any further denial of the effects of the cigarette habit by the men in -question. “This sermon was regarded by all who heard it as the most terrific ar raignment of the habit ever heard here. “At the' ‘decision day’ service in the ^unday school there were about 30 conversions, and at the 11 o’clock ser vice a large number united with the church and were received as candi dates for baptism. “Last night Dr. Hulten preached a powerful sermon on ‘Substitution’ to the largest congregation ever assem bled in Calvary church. Many peo ple were turned aw^ay, unable to gain admission. Others stood during the entire sermon. “Tonight (Monday) Dr. Hulten will preach on ‘What We Know of Hell.’ The song service wil begin, at 7:30 and the regular service at 8 o’clock. Judg ing by the great interest manifested during the past week, all who do not go early will risk not being able to get a seat.” Dr. Hulten will return to the city this week, and occupy his pulpit, as usual, Sunday.
