TUESDAY MARCH 13TH, 1917
REPRESENTATIVE DANIEL
er" so to speak the requirement
that the Commissioners levy a
fixed per cent, to be increased
each four years until it reaches
ten. per cent for maintenance
simply kills the goose that was
eypected to lay the golden egg.
This feature vof the bill simply
kills its usefulness. Our com
mendation was" based upon the
general purpose of aiding the
counties to build roads; but we
are sincere in the opinion that
the author makes it impossible
for counties to accept aid by
tacking on to it his compulsory
maintenance tax. He should
have left the amount of this
maintenance tax to be. fixed by
the different County Boards of
Highway Commissioners. We
have been forwarded a copy of
the law through the Legislative
Reference Library, hence our
knowledge of all its provisions.
RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION
"Twouldn't Help Him Any
"I've noticed one thing while jour
neying through this vale of tears."
"Pray enlighten me."
"You never heard a henpecked mar
ried - man excusing himself on the
ground that he is too proud to fight.
Hon. S- G- Daniel was in town
Monday morning for the first
time since the convening of the
General Assembly. Upon com
menting upon the work of the
General Assembly, and especial
ly his part of that work, as it ef
fected Warren County, he re
marked that he had done what
he believed to be the best inter
file citizens of the county,
and what a large majority de
sired done. He said he "expect
ed criticism from those who
thought that 'No good could
come out of Nazareth " and
possibly has received it. He
talked enthusiastically of the
value of the Highway Commis
sion to the County, and for its
"preparedness" for Government
aid nearly 250,000 dollars
of Government money coming to
North Carolina this year, and
more ach succeeding year. We
gather these facts from a short
conversation, in which he ex
pressed himself as being apprec
iative of the endorsement given
him generally throughout the
county. Those disposed to criti
cise can await the publication of
the Laws for comfort if they
can find any.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, has announced an exam
ination for the County of Halifax, N.
C, to be held on April 14, 1917, at
Macon, to fill the position of rural
carrier at Essex, N. C, and vacan
cies that may later occur on rural
routes from other post offices in the
above-mentioned county. The exam
ination will be open only to male cit
izens who are actually domiciled in
the territory of a post office in the
county and .who meet .the other re
quirements set forth in Form No.
1977. This form and application
blanks may be obtained from the of
fices mentioned above or from the
United States Civil Service Commis
sion at Washington, D. C. Applica
tions should be forwarded to the Com
mission at Washington at the earliest
practicable date.

WHAT IS
SENATOR McCOIN
The General Assembly has ad-
adjourned and Senator McCoin
has returned to his home. We
believe he has represented his
District with distinguished abil
ity, and with great satisfaction
to his constituents. His zeal in
two matters of State-wide im
portance has made his name and
ability known and recognized
throughout the State. These
two especial matters were the
bill to elect members of the
O-rty Boards of Edu-ntion,
and the bill to give Newspapers
a reasonable compensation for
Legal advertising North Caro
lina Newspapers are now get
ting less than in any state in
the Union except one. The Dem
ocratic members of the Legislat
ure could not have unity of sent
iment on the question of method
of selecting County Boards of
Education, as all bills submit
ted to" the General Assembly had
serious defects, and it is a credit
to Senator McCoin that he
should solve the problem by pop
ular selection with Legislative
confirmation. As we said in the
beginning these measures, in
connection with his proven abil
ity in other matters, has made
his name prominent in all sec
tions of the state, and he looms
large in the public eye as in line
for promotion. The Warren
Record takes pleasure in com
mending Senator McCoin to the
people of the State for further
public honors.
THE STATE-WIDE BOND ACT
FOR ROADS
We have written heretofore
of the Road Bond Act passed by
the Legislature for the building
of roads and commended the act.
The purpose of the bill is to al
low counties to issue five per
cent County bonds for road con
struction, and exchange them
jfor four per cent State bonds,
and the difference between four
and five per cent would pay, the
bond off in forty-one years. Up

LAX-F0S IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi
ents making it better than ordinary Cas
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove

CHANGE OF PERS6NEL
The Burroughs Grocery Company
has made a recent change in the per

Burroughs has purchased the interest
of Mr. A. D. Harriss in the business,
and he and Mr. William Burroughs
are now sole owners. This is a live
progressive firm of highly esteemed
young men and we predict a continua
tion of their past success. Attention
is called to a change of their adver
tisement in this issue.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel cornea
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea, j
If -you feel bilious; headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and. get a 50 cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without mak
ing you sick, you just go back tnd
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll b
ick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It is harsaless, pleasant aid s&it t
