®JIt is rumored that the Hamilton Pants

location with better transportation advantages.
WjlliamAon has ample facilities and cheap
rates—just as good as can be had in EaA

such folks as we need. Let our people offer
them some inducement. Invite them to
locate here and make it difficult for them
to decline the invitation. They would

Baglcy Confessed
La?t Friday the forms of the paper
were held open so that a messnge
might be received containing in
formation about the electrocution j
of Brad Barley,- The main /'acts
as "received from Wat den Sale were
published. This menage stated
that B.glcy made uo confession;
but'that he talked rs the straps'
were beinc adjusted about his face
and head. What the words were,
the Warden failed to hear. The
doomed rain hud written to friend-;
here that he was innocent of the
murder of Captain White, though |
he had never made any effort id
prove an alibi on th£ "'ght ot ti 11
murder.
Hii spiritual adviser, Ju-bua
Griffin, had eshowtted every means
by word of his own and* that con
tained in th-i "Scripture-* to induce
hira to confess But the man, so
soon to die, a-:ver di.spnired until;
just a bhort while before the hour
tcr his death. He h«d some hope
that something would be clone for
him evtu in those last moments.
So he walked unfalteringly to the
death chair. But when all hope
was gone and the electrical fixcurss
were being placed about his bod)*,
with the awful fact of eternity
staring him in the face, he.for the
6rst time realized the great load
upon bis foul and murmured? "I
am a guiltv man." There were
those from Williamston who heard
his words and hi* call for God to
have mercy on his soul.
There bad never been any doubt
among the citizens of Williamston
as to Bagley's guilt even though
he should have died with cosed
lips, but it is best that be confessed
ere his soul went to eternity. His
body was embalmed and brought
here Saturday, and Sunday an im
mense crowd cf his race attended
the burial.

El Baile Club
The young men of the tovtu have
recently formed the El Baile Club
for rmtual pleasure and enjoyment.
Strictly speaking it is a Club which
will pive each week a dance ou
Thurtdav evening. The name El
Baile was handed down from gen
eration to generation by the Moors
and in history it is first spoken of
in connection nith some ffstival
during the days of the Spanish
Main. It wa>; taken to Mexico by
the Spaniards and those care-free,
pl«asu:e-lcvi:ig people use it to
expreis au;useiceot. The members
of the Club hooe to get as much
7nnoc;nt fan and pastime out ot the
organization us the meaning of the
El B.r.le' Club conveys. Clayton

Services Closed
Tl:e ,*tvivni services at the Metho
dist Church which commenced ten
days before, etded on Wednesday
nignt. All through these meetings
at both the morning and night ser
vices :he attendance has been large,
and tue interest very marked. Rev.
J. H. Buffule made plain the Gos
pel truths and ma ie a profound
ituprersion upon his hearers. The
choir led bv Mr. Fitzgerald did
faithful servi:e and the singing
was an attractive part cf the moet
tings.
There \\k.-re several additions and
the Church was greatly revived?
A. C. L. R. R. Criticised
Wkeu the realroad company con
sented to elevate the track above
Main Street extension just this'
side of Martin's farm, it was
thought that the company would
build a cement arch inder which 1
the street would pass. Not so,
however, for there is nothing ex
cept unsightly wooden piling there
to support the track. The citizens
of the town have severely criticised
the company's action. They want
a more, endurable and attractive
structure there. After voting for
good roads, the people desire to
bave them built as attractive as
possible under the natural condi
| tions. The Coast Line should ac
cede to the demands of the people
and give them something worth
while.
John R. Staton, joyce, Ky., had
an exceptionally severs attack of
whooping cough. He say?: "If it
had not been for Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound l would have
been compelled to quit -
nstead, I never missed a day, and
Foley's Tar Compound
gave me instant relief and is ' the
only cough medicine we ever use."
Contains no opiates. Saunders &

judge Pell The Man
I Mr. Editor:
I notice the announcement of
I
| Judge George P. Pell, as a candi
date for Corporation Commissioner,
j There aee several special reasons
whv he should be nominated, The
fir-t reasons way he should he
nominated is tl\e fact that, as we
al l know, the Corporation Com
mission is a court and needs mem
bers of judicial experience, as
its decisions must be reviewed by
the Supreme Court of the State.
Pell has had experience upon
the Superior Court bench, aud has
been trained to hold the scale.; of
Ju-tiee even-handed between the
railroads and the people. He will
certainly taks care of the people's
end of i£.
' This ysar there are two vacancies
to fill on the Commission. For cue!
of the'se vavancies only Eastern
men are candidates, so the Eastern
Democracy will certainly fill one of
these vacancies. Why not give-the
other vacancy to the _Ceptaal and;
Piedmont Counties, and nominate,
this splendid and proficient Demo
crat, Judge Pell.
I sincerely trust that our Demo
crats in Martin will sec it as I do,
and will instruct for Judge Pell.
I am,
Yours very truly,
J. C. Robertson.

• Good Health Hints
No spit—no consumption.
Dcn't made a jnnk shop of your
stomach.
Use sticky fly paper in the house.
Swat a'.l flies that csrape it.
The best spring tonic —spring air
and pure spring water. Take it
everv day.
A decreasing death rate is the
best evidence of sanitary progress
in a community.
When you are feeling dull and
stupi 1 :nd have a headache, try a
good bin dose of fresh air. It will
generally do you good.
The presence oi fi'es maans the'
presence of filth. It may be in the
kitchen, in the cuspidor, in the
uncovered garbage car, the manure
pile, or the open privy. At least it
i-> nearby. Remember your visitors
and caller may know about this,
too.
Get the diiuk habit. It will
jcure your "spring fever" ami
make a torrid summer mild for you
—it you drink Adam's pure, un
adulterated ale. Your siugnisU
feeling each spring is due to winter
accumulations of waste in the body
which should be removed. Flush '
them out with not less thau two
quarts of water every day. Then
keep them flyshed. Don't permit
these sluggish conditions of the
[body, it you have to drirk three or
even Jour quarts of water and eat
nothing but iruits and vegetables.
Have- an internal spriug house

much more you can do your
i Don't waste.- your mor.ey on
I "mineral w:-t«rs " They may

mi:if.-r-:ls to a t'.nel of "milt*

are a hoax—-a snare aud a delusion.
\Vhv..put th:s»i "mineral," of tnhich
\ 'A\ know itttlv, into your body,of
a btvii vou i;no»v Use? , The chief
virtue of su.h waters rest ju the
fact that thiSf " minerals" are
usually hiruues-, mid people drink
so much of this water that '.heir
system* are slushed cut and cleaned
and they tee' good. That is oer
te.tly natural. They would have
felt equally —or better —if
they had drut.k an e-;uil amount
oi any pure water, aud would have
avoided the taste and ' exvense.
Mau iu hi* ingenuity ; added
many things to water, bat.as a rule
these additions are" useless if not
harmful. No drink ever devised
by man is more effective for the
slaking of thirst than pure water.
Mrs. Rose A. Freeman, Gilford,

Foley's Remedies and want to say
a good word for them.. She writes: '
"Folev Kidney Piils cared ray

not be without Foley & Go's,
