Because Scott's Emulsion re lieves such an extraordinary variety of children's diseases all the way from slight colds to the serious hip disease. Because Scott's Emulsion is asharmless as milk. Well borne even by the delicate stomachs of babies. Because children respond so quickly to its action. A medi cine peculiarly suited to their sensitive nature. It is wonder ful' how rapidly delicate chil dren improve in every way while taking Scott's Emulsion. Because children like the taste. Most ofthem like Scott's Emulsion at once. The rest soon learn to like it. Little daily doses bring the results. We'll send you a little to try, if you like.

Can't Eat : Bread THE Great Norwegian Poet Celebrates 70th Birthday 'Bread is reputed to be the "staff of -life,' yet there are some people who never eat bread. We allude to this because of a curious paral lel fact in medicine. If even bread does not suit quite everybody, we don't expect one medicine, even Vinbl, to cure everybody. But we recommend Vinol and sell it on a guarantee of money back if it does not benefit the user. Though we can't expect all to be cured, yet, strange to say, out of every one hundred bottles sold, less than two per cent proved unsatisfactory. In other words, ninety-eight out of every hundred found Vinol of value many of them of very great value. We want to say that if you are run-down, weak, too thin, ailing, with bad stomach, poor appetite, cough, nervousness, that we think Vinol will help you. At any rate, it will cost nothing to try it. You can have your money back if you say it doesn't help you. Vinol has a pleasant taste, and is recom mended by physicians as a safe and unusually effective body-buildei and general tonic. Our Vinlax, for constipation, is Vinol' s companion remedy, sold od the same guarantee. SALE OF LAUDS YESTERDAY ACVANGE IN FREIGHT RATES Chicago, 111., Dec. 8.

Total of $13,8307Reallzed from Four Pieces of Property Yesterday- Receiver Jones Thinks Some of the Property ils Being Bought for Specula tion. The sale of the Western Carolina bank lands was continued yesterday, and disposition made at auction of some of the most valvtable property belonging to tlie .bank. There was a large delegation of -Udders present when the auction sale was being held at the new court house. A most interesting and unexpected phase .of the auction is the number of sales that are being made to three or four men. Receiver Jones was seen yesterday , afternoon and asked what was his opinion regarding the sale of the lands. He said: "1 believe there is a combination of several per sons who are buying the property of the defunct bank for speculation. I am not certain as to the matter, but it looks to me as if there was some thing like a combination rwhose object is to get hold of the property at very low prices." Inasmuch as the confirmation of the sales is yet to be made 'by the court, there will he enough tlfne to investi gate the matter. As things stand now, it is quite likely that 50 cents on the dollar will be paid the credit ors. The following sales were made yesterday: Asheville .Tobacco factory to Lewis Maddux for $2,300. T. K. Brown 'land on Swannanoa to Miller's Saw Mill company for $800. iThe Reed farm to W. N. Coooer for $10,000. No. 309- North Main street to Mr. Fry for $730.

Senator Simmons Statement Editor of the Gazette: other causes well known and fully dis- The Washington correspondents send cussed in the campaign, but not perti- out what is presumably an authorized interview with our junior senator in reply to a previously published state ment of his senior colleague touching the recent North Carolina elections. Now it is hot always safe to infer that csimmons means just what authorized k interviews nave mm to say.

Neither is if always safe to criti cize the junior senator, even when forewarned with the Purnell discovery, and this fact Wiley Shook found out ere the maiden blushes incident to the senator's swearing in had quite lost themselves in the native tar, born of Jones county air.

Senator Simmons is made to say by these wicked reporters that he knows of no county in the state where it (the re publican party) made gains in white voters worth mentioning, and in some sections it sustained a substantial loss." Of course, in white voters. Now, if this be true, or even color ably true, the lily white movement was from the standpoint of policy a mis take, but is it true or rather does not the senator well know it is not true, and that the reporters have played another Purnell trickon him. 'For ourselves, we are confident he ha? been misrepresented, or he would have giv en us the names of some of the coun ties wrhere there was a substantial loss to the republicans in the white vote, and of counties where his party neia its own or gained in sections ad mitted by him to hsrVe been the scene of eager conflict.

It is not complimentary to the sena tor s character -for frankness that alone (since Joe Daniels is hardlv to be counted in any other than a cen sus enumeration) should be found dis puting it.

Mr. Moody's majority in McDowell county has no significance to the sen ator, as perhaps the vote of Robeson, Cumberland, Sampson and Duplin has none. Ten years ago there were not enough white republicans in these last named eastern counties to have form ed a corporal's guard. Now they run well into the thousands. Senator Simmons' propehcy of 75,000 majority for his party in 1904 can not be dis puted by any known figures, and therefore we are not careful to an swer. If he be right, he can afford to advocate an honest election law and move up the date of the election to August, so as to be a trifle nearer his beloved May the 1st. He will not do this, wre are sure, but 19 ready to make the liquor men bear the burden of paying Aycock's bor rowed money.

We have no per sonal wish to see the senator in hard luck, but his best friends scarcely claim that his example in public mat ters is ' a wholesome one to set the youth of the state. If there were at any time 120,000 colored voters polled in North Carolina, Senator Pritch ard's statement, recently made, of re publican gains is a most modest one. If that number is a grossly false, or even an exaggerated statement, Sena tor Simmons must eat his own words. He has taught those figures as true from ocean to mountain, and we know them as we know the date of the dis covery of America. The fact that they are and were ever false does not help the senator on a general count of veracity. TRAVELER. Personals.
