Five Negroes are Glvsa a Bearing and Bound GY2? lo Cciirl for Selling As the result of some good detec tive work done here the past week ouite a bunch of colored people were tried before Mayor J. E. Shields Tuesday afternoon, charging them with selling whiskey. Those sent up to court under a hundred dollar bond in each case are Ben Staton, three ca--es, Pearly Morgan, Tom Smith. Pearly Ferrell required to give a fifty dollar bond and Indiana Stranger a bond in the sum of twenty-five dollars. These cases were prosecuted by Messrs. Ashby Dunn r.nd Stuart Smith and defended by ',17 Mr. A . P. Kitchin. There was i VJ not much of a contest in either case for the evidence was very strong. We heartily commend the action i f our town authorities in this step t j riil the town of blind tigers. Kerosene sprayed on ponds or l ools of stagnant water will prevent mosquitoes from breeding. A half pint is sufficient for 100 square feet of surface. If possible, all stagnant pools of water should be drained or f:!!ed.

The Kind You Have Always Bought . Bears the SitfVture of CHARGED WITH ASSAULT. Several Young Negro Men Arrested for Assaulting a Detective. ' For several days last week a negro detective was here working up blind tiger cases among the colorhd peo ple. This fact became known late Saturday afternoon and soon there after several of the younger crowd put their heads together and decided to do a little work themselves auoui lis o ciock tnat nignt some AT j r 1 l j 1 i t eight or ten men appeared at the home of Isaac Simmons, where the detective was stopping, when two of the crowd soon were in his room, and at the point of a long pistol he was commanded to dress, pack his grip and get ready to leave town and to stay away forever more. The detective obeyed orders and soon the crowd had him marching down the railroad in the direction of Hob good. They had not gone. very far when two men were seen approach ing from the opposite direction, and passing these two men the detective managed to make his escape by run ning at full speed and never stop ping until he landed on the porch of Mr. G. K. Moore, scared nearly to death. Mr. Moore telephoned to Chief of Police G. H. Johnson, who was soon on the scene and took the detective in charge, in a protective way, for the night. Ji.ariy Sunday morning a warrant was sworn out for Noonie Peebles, Crawley McDaniel, Hilliard Carter, Morcelos Ward and Wiley Carter, charging them with committing the act. The case was continued until Monday afternoon when they were given a hearing before Mayor J. E. Shields. Messrs. Stuart Smith and Ashby Dunn represented the State and Mr. A. P. Kitchin appeared for each of the defendant, and the trial was a battle royal for nearly four liours. The mayor found sufficient cause to bind all the defendants over to court in a bond of $150.00 each, with the exception of Ward, who was discharged for lack of evi dence. The detective had no case against either of these men and they took it upon themselves to get rid of him or fear he might get some of their riends. It is truly hoped by all law-abid ing citizens that they will be given a sufficient punishment to psevent them attempting such an act again. he chances are that if the detec tive had not moved readily these men might have been on trial for murder instead of an assault. Such lawlessness as a gang or mob driving a, man from town must be put down or it will not be safe to live in a community that such acts are allowed to be committed in and the guilty go free. It stands to reason that if a col ored man will drive his own race from town it will not be long before they will try it on some white man. Tbe Overland Westerners Here. C. C. Beck, J. B. Ransom. Geo. W. Beck and R. G. Rayne, who style themselves the Overland Westerners were here Sunday and Monday. These men started from Olympia, Washington on May 1, 1912, on a 20- 000 mile horseback trip to extend to the capitol city of every state in the U. S.. and to end at San Francisco, Cal-.June 1, 1915, during the Panama International Exposition. Govern or M. E. Hay of Washington pre sented them with a letter of intro duction to the various Governors of the country with whom they are to be photographed in front of each state house and secure the State Seal. The object of the trip is to bring a little pinto horse through the en tire journey and place it on exhibi tion at the big fair and gain a prize of a dollar a mile. They are also trying to bring their faithful watch dog (Nip) there if possible. To date, they have traveled 7,500 miles through 16 states and have been photographed with 15 Govern ors. The next capitol will be Rich mond, Va. DANGEROUS CALOMEL GOING OUI OF USE. A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has Taken Its Place In the Drugstore and In the Home. A few years ago men women and children took calomel for a sluggish liver and for) constipation. They took risk whenthey did so for calo mel is- a dangerou drug. Your fami ly doctor will be the first to tell this if he discovers you dosing yourself with calomel. But the drug trade has found a safer and more pleasant remedy than calomel in Dodson Liver Tone. E. T. Whitehead company tell vs that their drug store sell Dodsons Liver Tone in practically every case of biliousness and liver , trouble where calomel used to taken. Dodsons' Liver tone is a vegetable liver tonic that is absolutely harmlss for children and grown people. IT sell for 50 cts a bottle and is guaran tn Ko ontirplv satisfactory by E. T. Whitehead company who will refund your money with a smile if it does not give quick gentle relief without any of calomel's unpleasant after-effects.

Drives Them Out. An Enfield man has gone to New port News to establish a hosiery mill and while we haven't seen where he has been interviewed about his rea son for so doing it's a safe bet that it was for the purpose of avoiding the excessive, to the point of rob bery, freight rates that he has been forced to pay in North Carolina. When on anything that might be mentioned Virginia can outsell North Carolina on account of the freight rates it is no wonder that the manu- acturing enterprises must of neces sity hie it to Virginia.
