Meeklng of Mqnteo. dp ————— 7%* There is general gratification at the action of the general assembly in making the offenae of rocking trains a felony insteal of a misdemeanor, so that more severe punishment may be Imposed on miscreants who com mit a crime of this kind. Governor Kltchin is being impor tuned to grant a pardon to Thomas Worley of Lenoir county, who in 1905 was sentenced to 15 years in the pen Itenjlary for murder in the second ! degree.

Out at the power hours of the A. £ M. collge there is a marvelous little engine being demonstrated for the first time, the Invention of a weli-':nown North Carolinian, Layfay ette Holt of Burlington. It is com pact and powerful to a degree, it has only five moving parts and is scarce ly one-fifth of the siae of the aver age engine of corresponding power. It is known as the "Holt Rotary" engine. There Is one lubricator for the entire machine —no dead center. It is dust proof and runs with one pound of steam above normal atmos phere. It is capable of compound or direct drive and is pronounced at the college especially adapted for rural work, Including sawmills, road rcllors, traction engines and general barnyard utility. It gives good ser vice setting at any angle and seems to operate with far less steam con sumption than engines generally put to this service. Mate Prison's Fine Showing.

The exact figures of the two de posits are $96,533.02, Mr. T. W. Kenner the chief clerk having paid in on Feb bruary 25, the sum of $30,801.90 and on March 10. $64 541.12.

The opening day will be Tuesday at 11 o'clock, and from that time on for four days the festivities will be many and Will be arranged on an elabroate scale. The largest day of the four days will be Wednes day, when the main events will take place, both in the firemen's events and the Red Men, the latter of whom will also hold their regular annual session during the daya set for the general celebration. • On Tuesday the address of wel come will be delivered by one of the best local speakers, and a response will be made by some prominent out of-town visitor.

On Friday the Interstate races will take place. Teams from North and South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia will be present to take part In these races. It Is predicted that Charlotte will have as her guests during this week one of the largest crowds that has ever been present ou such an occasion. Edgecombe Farmors to the Front. Tarboro.—Udgecombe people are at the front along all lines. Here are a few things that some of them did last year: One man sold nine hogs in a bunch at $75 each; one grew on a one-fourth acre field an average cf 60 bushels tho acre at an average of 30 cents a bushel of wheat; u boy grew 115 bushels of corn on an acre, and several others more than 100; one man made 55 bushels an acre on three and one-tenth acres at an average cost of 22 1-16 cents a bushel of wheat; one man ou 110 acr»a made 66,762 pounds of lint cotton; from 8 1-2 acres one man sold S3BB worth of bur clover seed; the same man from 6 acres sold more than S9OO worth of peaches; one man from 7 acres got 5 tons of alfalfa hay; one man 90 bushels oi Spanish peanuts to the acre; one burned a tar kiln; one from March, 1910, to March, 1911, sold more than $3,000 worth of cattle of his own raising. Old Town on the Move. Plttsboro.—Pittsboro Is 130 year old and the town has made Its first step towards improvements, At a bond election $5,000 was vofOd for street improvements, the vote being 31 for and 2 against. A Very Mysterious Crime. Kllzabeth City.—Some members of coroner's Jury not being satisfied with investigation made before ver dict was rendered in Gibbs' murder case, the coroner held another in restlgatlon. The opinion constantly grows thai Gibbs was not murdered for robbery. Persistent rumors connect certain enemies of the dead man with the crime, but so far as can be learned the evidence Is not sufficient to war rant airy arrests at this time. No case since the famous Nell Cropsy murder has so stirred this com munity and citizens are aroused with determination to remove the mystery surrounding cause and perpetration of the cold-blooded crime. Wilson.—While attempting to es cape from the county convict road force, Tom Slmms, colored, was shot through the body by a guard and may die. Slmms was serving time for larceny. Columbian Will Make Address. Charlotte. —The closing exercises at the Southern Industrial Institute will take place from March 21 to 24. It i« peculiarly fitting that Dr. Mitchell should deliver the address, because of his wide and accurate knowledge of social conditions in the South. The publishers of "The South In the Building of the Nation" select ed blm to edit the volume on "The History of the Social Life of the South" and many thoughtful students of this subject think It is by far the ablest work on the subject. Heavy Shipments of Tobacco. Durham.—The American Tobacco company shipped by express to New port News over the Norfolk & Wes-, tern railway, 25000 pounds of smok ing tobacco to be used in the govern ment commissary. There Is nothing exceptional in the shipment /ftA so many pounds, except the manner and the hurry in which it went. The 25,000 pounds is hot an unusual or der for the government even, and of ten there go from here ia a single day eight to ten car-loads. Soldiers are great smokers. PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO HEALTH BY 6REAT KID HEY REMEDY Some time ago I began tho use of l)r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root with the most remarkable results. For years I was almost a wreck and was a great sufferer. The dec tors who treated me made me believe that my great sufferings were due to fenalo trouble. I was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I tock sev eral bottles. I obtained some relief from this but I was getting weaker all the time; I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which I did, aud I am glad to state that the first do«o gave me great relief After taking tlio third dose I was helped into bed and slept half of the night. I took several bottles of Swamp-Root and 1 feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doc tors said that I could not live three months; my urine was in a terrible con dition—thick and slimy—and I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times every night. After taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for two days I was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly. MRS. D. E. HILEMAN. Tutanelton, West Va.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, is, it would almost seem, to blame for her own wretchedness. Read what this woman says: Richmond, Mo. " When my second (laugh(or was eighteen months old I was pronounced a hopeless invalid by specialists* I had a consultation of doctors and they said I had a severe case of ulceration. I was in bed for ten weeks, had sinking spells, and was pronounced to he in a dangerous condition. My father insisted tnat wo try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought me six bottles. I soon began to improve, and be fore it had all been taken 1 was as well and strong as ever,—mjT friends hardly recognized me so great was tlio change." Mrfe Woodson Branstetter, Richmond, Mo. There are literally hundreds of thousands of women ill the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman's suffering. Read what another woman says:- Jonesboro, Texas. —"I hove used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound for myself and daughter, and consider it uno qunlied for all female diseases. I would not be without it for anything. I wish every mother in America could be persuaded to use it as there would bo less suffering among our sex then. I am always glad to speak a word of praise for%ydia E. Pink liiim's Vegetable Compound, and you are at liberty to use tills testimonial."—Mrs. dames T. Lawrence, Jonesboro, Texas. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering; from the same trouble ? - For 30 years Lydia E.
