Sedan, Kan ', is justancrdi nary countiy town of some 1,500 people. But it has at least one rea ! business man. His name is J. H. E J wards. And now listen: EJward? spends two thousand dollars with his local papers in advertising— every year! Has it paid him? We'l, he went to Sedan a few years age with but little capital. He now owns a magnificent store, a nice home, and a big farm. "We value our advertising enough to make it a part of our assets," he says. "It is the live wire of any business, and a per son can judge pretty well the amount of energy behind a busi Hess by the kind and amount of advertising that business is do ing." When facts like the above spring up every now and then all over the United States, publish ers cannot help wondering what it is that blinds the eye of the average man to his possibilities with printer's ink.—York News. Held Without Bond. The preliminary hearing of Horace Smally who was commited to jail Mon day for the murder of his uncle, Tom Gallian. was held yesterday before Mag istrates Kirksey and Halleburton. At torney R. L. Huffman represented the defendant and Solicitor Newland the State. The evidence against Smally was found to be stronger than at first throught and he was ordered held with out bond to await criminal court. It seems that Gallian lived with his nephew Smally. Saturday night they both attended a party and were both drinking. On their return home about midnight they got in a row, when, it is claimed, Gallian hit Smally with a lantern. The nephew rushed at his uncle with an axe, inflicting a wound in hib side. The wounded man man aged to run away and got some distance from the house. His cries attracted at tention. and he was carried to the home of his father in the same neighborhood. There he died Monday morning and of ficers at once arrested Smalley on the charge of first degree murder. It was a horrible affair. fy>th were comparatively young men. Smally has a family, but Gallian was unmarried. — Morganton News Herald. Tricks In War. There are tricks in all trades, eveD in war. Some days ago a German freight car being returned as an "empty" from Norway was found to have been provided with false walls and ceiling, the space between being filled with copper, an article which the German Government, as well of Europe in com mon, stands much in need. There has been more or less suspicion in regard to the illegal use of the wireless plant at Sayville, and lately there has devel oped evidence that the Germans are getting the benefit from the messages a;nt from the stations through the use of a code, Berlin all the while having been kept posted from Sayville as to what was going on. Secretary Daniels has now taken over the Sayville station and it will hereafter be under the con trol and operation of that Department Berlin may be put to some temporarj inconvenience, but it would indicate that this government is going to keep straight on neutrality as far as possi ble. Charlotte Observer. Fate of Vicious Bull. Mr. Henry Seegers, of Jefferson, S C., had a fight with a vicious bull a few days ago in which it was "nip and tuck" for the mastery. Mr. Seegers went to to his pasture and a bull which before that time had been docile became en raged and made for Mr Seegers, knock ing him down and trampling him. Mr Seegers caught hold of the animal and kept him from goring him and got out his pocket knife and succeeded is stick ing the blade into the eye of the bull, to ally blindina him. The wounds the bull received enraged him all the more and his efforts to fight were frantic. Bifore the fight was over Mr. Seegers succeeded in climbing on the bull's back. The bull was killed to get him out of his misery. POLICE FOUND LIQUOR HIDDEN IN A CASKET There Were Ten Gallons and the Casket Was In Eagles room At Winston-Salem. Winston-Salem, July 15. —At 2 o'- clock this morning, members of the local police force found ten gallons of corn liquor from a Roadoke distillery, hidden in a coffin in the rooms of the Eagle's club, just after it had been un loaded from an automobile and carried into the rooms. The \>hisky was found on the second floor of the buildiug oc cupied by the Eagles. Ihe casket was a part of paraphernalia of the club. No irrests were msde at the time, but la t r, John Barnes, a member of the club was arrested, charged with being im plicated with two others into the build ing. No officers of the Eagles knew of affair. The rcoms were closed at 11 o'clock and were quite dark at the time of the raid. The officers searched the premises thoroughly when the raid was made and again in the morning* but failed to find any more liquor or eviden ces of liquet in the rooms. According to the officers the whisky was taken into the club rooms in 10- ga'.lon glass jugs, which were later found bidden in the casket. The officers say that their attention as first attracted to the whisky by an automobile which was driving about the city after mid night. They watched it for a long time and later they saw it in front of the Ea gles' club with the last of the whisky Being taken upstairs. The officer who saw the liquor went for assistance but on returning found that the men in the automobile had escaped; however, the officers believe that they recognized one or more in the party. It is not known whether the men were members of the club or not, although it is believed that one must have been to have had a evk lo gain admittance to the club rooms at that hour. The members of the Eagles' club are sompwhat indignant over the fact that the police seized their casket, as from the evidence of the officers them selves the casket had not been used tor carrying the whisky but was merely used as a hiding place by parties yet unknown. Papers for claim aad delivery were prepared this afternoon. Commissioner Osborne Puts on a Flying Squad. A "Flying squad" of special inter nal revenue agents has been organized by Commissioner Osbom of the inter nal revenue bureau, to uncover frauds and increase "the efficiency of the ser vice. The number of men in the squad is to be kept secret, but they will op erate in any revenue collection district in the U. S. where the commissioner nas reason to believe their activities are needed. It is through the work of such special agants that the $27,000,000 frauds against the oleomargarine law wei e un covered. It is understood the *'flying squad" will give some attention to the recently discovered whiskey frauds in Southern States. The commissioner pointed out in an nouncing his new policy that regular revenue officers are known in their own districts and that an uainentified person may be able to detect irregular ities where the local man would fail.

Hed Devil Lye EATS UP FILTH jr FILTH MAKES FLIES, AND OUT-HOUSES ABE FLY FAOTOBIEB Make Your Out-House Sanitary The odors arising from privies are sickening and unbearable, particularly in summer. They are also the breeding place for flies and other vermin. Flies carry disease germs direct from such places to the baby's miik, the meats, vegetables, pies and other foodstuffs. Typhoid fever is invariably transmitted from germs that originated in out-houses and such breeding places, and these germs are usually carried to the house and kitchen by flies that take an air route. RED DEVIL LYE, plentifully sprinkled in privies every two or three days, wilt eat up the filth deposits, keep such places sanitary, and wipe out the pestiferous fly. The cost f3 trifling, while the benefits can not be measured in dollars and cents. Use Bed Devil Lyo for this important purpose, you will be amaied to find how it actually eats up the filth. Do it at onoe, and get rid of the filth, flies and odors. RED DEVIL LYE Is Death to the Fly WM. SCHIELD MFG. CO, St. Uoia. He. 9 Days!

From the Christian Herald we ,copy the following from Thatchers Military Journal of December, 1777. This is the identical first prayer offered in Con gress, t>y Rev. J. Douche, and may be prized as a relic of olden times: "0 Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who from thy throne be hold all the dwellers on earth and reig nest with power supreme and uncon trolled over all the kingdoms, empires and Governments; look in mercy, we beseech thee on these American states who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown them selves on thy gracious protection, desiring henceforth to be dependent only oa thee: to thee they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to thee do they now look for that countenance and support which thou alone canst give; take them therefore. Heavenly Father, under thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in council an 1 valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs o' our cruel adversaries, convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause, and if they persist n their sanguinary purpose oh, let the voice of thy own unerring justice, sounding in their own hearts, constrain them to drop the weap ons of war from their unnerved bands in the day of battle! Be thou present, A God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honora ble assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest founda tion, that the scene of bload may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and pi ety prevail and nourish among thv peo- WILLISTON, N.
