sever in the T e i ation S t i irne Lincoln. Since John >V.ikt;6 Booth she: Abm- ham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, history has been punctuated with assassinat* iona of the rulers of countries, states and cities. There is scarcely a nation that has not some such red blot ui^n its chronicles. In these forty-five years the United States has lost two Presidents at the hands of murderers: James A. Garfleld, who was shot by Guitau on July 2, 1881, and William McKinley, shot by Leon Czolgoss of Buffalo on Sept. 6, 1901. Besides these. Governor-elect Wil liam Goebel of Kentucky was shot on Jan. 30, 1900, from a window in the Court House at fYankfort-one case in which a secret service guard would have been of no avail; ex-Governor Frank Steuenberg of Idaho was killed by a dynamite be mb at Boise on Dec. 30,1905, out of revenge for his ity in suppressing strike riots Coeur d’Alene mines. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chi cago, was murdered by William Pren- dergast on Oct. 28, 1893; Francis J. Henry, Public Prosecutor of San Fran cisco, received a bullet wound in the neck on Nov. 13, 1908, from which it took him three month to recover, and John Bartram, Mayor of Fort Gay, W. Va. was killed in a political fight. The lands to the south of us have had their share of political murders also. Juan Idiarte Borda, President of Uruguary, was assassinated on Aug. 26, 1897, and Jose Maria Reyna Bar rios, President of Guatemala, was kil led on Feb. 8, 1898; President Cabrear of Guatemala had a narrow escape from being killed by an infernal ma chine in August, 1906, and President Diaz of Mexico was shot at on Oct, 26, 1903. Besides these, President Heureaux of Haiti was assassinated in 1899. Nor has the great sister republic, France, been much more fortunate. Its then President, Marie F. Sadi-Car- not, was stabbed to death with a knife on June 24, 1894, Jules Ferry, one of its foremost statesmen, was killed in 1887, An assassin fired at President Fallieres on July 14, , 1907, and another threw a bomb at President Loubet and King Alfonso XIII. of Spain on Jnne 1, 1906. England has been remarkably free from political murders, not having lost a single ruler through assassination since Charles I. perished on the scaf fold in 1649. There were, however, seven attempts upon the life of Queen Victoria and one upon that of Edward VII. when Prince of Wales, but this took place abroad in Brussels. The Earl of Mayo, when Viceroy of India, was assassinated on Feb. 8, 1862; an attempt w^as made to kill Lord Lytton, then Viceroy on Dec. 12, 1878, and Elarl Minto, the present Viceroy, was attacked recently. Lord Frederick Cavendish, Chief Secretary for Ire land, and T. H. Burke, Under Sec retary, were killed by four men in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on May 6, 1882. Russia holds the record for assass inations. To say nothing of the many many czars who perished in the earlier history of the country, we need only begin with the Emperor Alexander II, who, after surviving five attempts on his life, was blown up by a bomb on March 13, 1881, There h^ve been sev eral attempts on the life of the present Czar, the most notable being that of the saluting cannon loaded with grape- shot which was fired at him when he was blessing the waters of the Neva. Grand Duke Sergius was blown up by a bomb in the Kremlin at Moscow on Feb. 17, 1905. Governor-General Bo- brikoff of Finland was shot to death at Helsingfors on June 16, 1904; M. Von Plehve, Minister of the Interior, was killed on July 28, 1904; Col. Ka’rpoff, chief of the secret police, was killed by a bomb in St. Petersburg: Soininen Solsalon, Prosecutor-General of Fin land, was shot in his oflfice at Helsing fors, and innumerable minor officials perished at the hands of the Nihilgts. The Balkan countries for their size rival Russia in the number of there political murders. Prince Michael of Servia was assassinated on June 19 1878. Stanislaus Stambuloff. Premier of Bulgaria, was slain on July 25, 1895. King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia were killed in their bed by a band of revolutionists on June 11,1903 and Brattiano. Premier of Roumania! narrowly escaped with his life on Dec 14, 1880. Abadul Aziz, Sultan of Turkey, was found dead in bed on June 4, 1876, and there is little doubt that he was mur dered. Mehemet All Grand Vizier of Turkey, was ^assassinated on Sect. 7 1878. Bouteos Pasha, Premier of Eg’- ypt, was shot last year by a fanatical patriot. Nasr-^.Din, Shah of Persia, was shot to Jeath by a man disguised as a woman whvn entering a mosque on May 1, 1896, and Sept. 1, 1907, Mirra All Asghan Khan, Premier of Persia was assassinated with a bullet. Spain, too, has had its full shares of assassinations in modern days Mar shal Prim was slain on Dec. 28 1870 and Canovas del Castillo, the Premier! pensed on Aug. 8. 1877. Two attempts were made, in 1878 and 1879, to King Alfronso XII, and a bomb w«b thrown at the present King and Queen as they returned from their wedding. Carlos, King of Portugal, and his ^ir, Pnnce Luis, were shot to death in Liabon on Feb. 1 1907, and the pres- ent King and his mother narrowlv es caped. The assassination of the Empress ^Mbeth of Austrio, at Geneva, on ^pt. 10, 1898, horrified the world. I^ccheni, who stabbed her with a W? prison in Smtzerland a few month ago. King Humboldt of Italy was shot to death at Monza by Antonio Bresci on July 29, 1900. A1 ..ira! Piince Ito of Japan was :iUot by a Corean at Harbin on Oct. 26, 1909, and Piemier Yi of Corea was stabbed to death at Seoul by a member of a secret patriotic society. M. Pelyannis, Premier of Greece, died at the hands of a murderer in IW5, Germany^ Holland, Belgium, Switz erland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark share with England the distinction of being those European counties of which the modern history is steined by the fewest attempts of this sort, though not even their rulers have been abso lutely free from the murderous atten tions of cranks. There were no few er than three attempts on ths life of i Emperor William I., in one of which he was severly wounded and the late King Leopold of the Belgians had more than one narrow escape. Assassination is one of the fine arts in Chinese government. The late Em press of China was an adept. When, after the death of her husband, it be came expedient to remove the jjuar- dians of her infant son the three man darins received each a present of a package of gold leaf. They knew what to do with it. It was a gentle hint that their presence was no longer required and that they as members of the royal family had the privilege of removing themselves. They knew that if they did not remove themselves they would be removed, so they philosephi- cally swallowed the gold leaf and died ir* honorable agonv. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it contains the principal political murders since that of Lincoln. On ths one hundred and seventy-1 ninth anniversary of the birth of the Father of his country nothing remuinF to be written in enlogy of his virtues and achievements which has not al ready found eloquent utterance. Yes terday the public men of America view with each other in offerit^ tributes to his memory. If one-tenth of the ora tors who on yesterday exhausted the recources of oratory in profesi re_ verence for his unselfish devotion to the welfare of his countrymen would devote half so much time and thought to emulation of his example there would be less cause than exists to lam ent the degeneracy of the age The particular need of the hour is for higher standards of duty among the men who make and execute the laws. Stern and incorruptible patriotism is not the hallmark of modern states manship. It behooves all who hold public responsibilties to reflect how far their praise of Washington con stitutes a rebuke of their own failure to follow in his footsepts.—Va. Pilot. A Fierce Night Alarm. is the hoare, startling cough of a child, suddenly attacked by croup. Often it aroused Lewis Cbamblin of Manchester' 0., (R. R. No. 2) for their four children were greatly subject to croup. “Some times in severe attacks,” he wrote “we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's New Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup and for coughs, colds or any throat or lung trouble. So do thousands of others. So may you.

Allen, of Sylvania, Ga., is thus told by him. “For more than three years,” he writes, “I suffered ndescribable torture from rheumatism, liver and stomach trouble and diseased kidneys. All^emedies failed till I used Electnc Bitters, but four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me completely.” Such results are common.

I would be true, for there are those who tru^t me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend to all—the foe—the friendless: I would be giving, and forget the gift- I would be humble, for 1 [know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh and love—and lift, —Howard Arnold Walter. Do you know that of all the minor ailments colds are by far the most dangerous? It |is not the cold itself that you need to fear, but the serious diseases that it often leads to. Most of these are known as germ diseases. Pneumonia and consumption are among them. Why not take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and cure your cold while you can? For sale by All Dealers. As it was Jeff Davis himself who im proved on Shakespeare by informing his colleagues in the Senate thav “something is dead in Denmark,” the source of the information precluded the pleasing idea that a way had been opened by Providenee for the promo tion of Macon to a higher sphere of usefulness than the House of Repres entatives affords. To be able to serve our friends is a privilege; to be able to hold their loy alty, a blessing. If you have trouble in getting rid of your cold you may know that you are not treating it properly.

You see, we meet ev ery day in town and he buys the drinks and I buy him the cigars.” F. NASH ATTORNEY AT LAW PRACTICES IN ALL COURTS HILLSBORO N. C. An Expert Opinon? Eminent scientists and phjsicians seem to be unable to agree on the use of tobacco. It is contended by some that its use is injurious, while some ex tremists say say it is beneficial. De pends on how it is used. Even too much of a good things kills. Poison to is of great value properly used, but we can see what would happen by anything likf an indiscriminate use of it. One thing can be said of the to bacco chewing habit; a man who chews tobacco is a hog. A good old Metho- I dist preacher used to say this was true and that the reason he knew it was so because he was a chewer himself, which was mighty good evidence.— Greensboro Record. BROWN-BELK CO.
