I wish to make a plain statement about the proposed sal of ROYAL. PARK LOTS. , Doubtless you have attended land auctions in the past. Perhaps you bow view them with mistrust Possibly you have been a bidder and have thought that "sharp" schemes were used to raise, the price on you.

If you get a lot you will have the satisfaction of knowing that no unfair scheme was used to raise the price on you. and that the previous bidder would be glad to take it at practcially your figure. You will not be rushed. Worried, or tired out. ..- Attend ROYAL PARK SALE. SEE Mr. Willingham. Study his met ods and straight forward ways, Then you will know for .yourself that this sale la fair to all and that the bidder gets a square deal. ."" Wm. JOHNSTON, Jr. SUM IS FROM JAIL PROGRESSIVE PARTY IS Is Charged With Shooting His Wife Many Sentences in Superior Court. A large number of cases were dis posed of in. Superio court Satur day, severalllong sentences being im posed on defendants. The case against Charles Stewart, charged with shoot- ' hig his wife with Intento kill, at their home on Sunset Mountain on October Is, last, was called Saturday and officers sent to the Mission hospital to see if she could be brought to the court room. An examination by Coun- ty Physician D. E. Sevier showed that her condition was still too serious to allow her removal from the hospital. Judge Cline then, in view of the fact that Stewart had been confined in the county jail since last October without bail, allowed him to go on his own rec ognizance, continuing the case until the September term of court. Martin Hudgins was given 90 days on the roads on charges of retailing. Mary Spears was sentenced to serve 16 days on charges of a disorderly nature. 'The cases against Milton Hamlin and Haggle Jordan of a disorderly na ture were tried and Hamlin was let off with the costs upon the filing of a bond for $200 to insure his appearance- At other terms of court to show good behavior, while the Jordan woman was sentenced to serve 90 days In jail, with the understanding that If she may leave the county before Aug ust 1. Jack Rickard was found not guilty of retailing and on a similar charge a nol prosse was taken. Will Love was given six months on charges of retailing. Ben Johnson pleaded guilty to charges of being a vagrant and judgment was suspended. A similar entry was made In a case against him for assault, while he drew a sentence of 90 days on charges of a disorderly nature. Dock Fowler was found not guilty of retailing. , Meeting Held to Discuss Tick et and Ways and Means of Beating Democrats. Special to The Gazette-News. Durham, July 20. The ultra pro gressive wing of the progressive par ty held a meeting at the consrevatory lot music Friday night in which they discussed ways and means of block ing the intended move of the demo crats to send a full force back Into the country, township and legisla tive office in tho November elections. While It has been generally under stood that a large number of the re publicans and progresfives of the county took part in the primary of J my b in which the democrats named their ticket. It Is said that another wing of the opposition is not at all satisfied with the ticket that w. named by the democrats with the aid of a few republicans. No Information was elvn out about this meeting of the progressives, hut some of the proeresxives who are not especially in sympathy with the party say that the center of the attack w.il be made on the rlerk cf court. That a strong man will be put out to op pose Judeo C. R Orcen, clerk for 20 years under democratic regime, and again nominated by a small ma jority for this place. Is the statement that is beinsr made by some of those who are in close touch with the situa tion and the discussions of the pro gressives. The opposition has not yet made any plans for the naming of a ticket, but It Is very probable that this will be done In a county convention.

STOCKHOLDERS BRING EQUITY SUIT One Claim for Restitution of Misapplied Money Would Enjoin Defendants from Management. To Avoid Canoer.

Martial Law In England. Martial law baa not been known In England for considerably over a cen tury. Yet its validity In times of do mestic trouble and war Is recognized by a clause from the "petition of rights" Inserted In te army act which parliament pasaea every year. Essen tially, martial law means that the or dinary law la suspended, bees use It la too cumbrous and slow. In favor of summary judgment In times of great tresa. The last occasion It was pro claimed In London was the Gordon riots In 1780, and the Jacobite rebel lions of 1715 and 1745 brought about the st me state of affairs throughout Great Britain. Tendon Chronicle. Starvation In The Midst Of Plenty Many are actually starving, even though eating heartily three times a day. They are starving be cause the usual diet lacks certain essential elements. In making white flour, the outer coat of the ' wheat, containing the phosphate of potash and other vital mienral salts, is discarded. These mineral salts are absolutely necessary to nerve health and there fore to body health. Grape-Nuts FOOD contains the whole nutriment of wheat and barley, in cluding the mineral salts. The malting of the barley starts digestive processes and the 20-hour baking breaks down the starch cells. Grape-Nuts food di gesta In about one-third of the time required by white brea4.

After an hours conference the New Haven directors left tho rienmmont to confer among themselves while the attorney general took under adviss- tnem tneir proposals. It was understood that the director had not been changed their position in regard to the disposition of the Boston and Maine stock owned by the New Haven, which hn nrnvd a stumbling block to a settlement. They were said to have suggested that the question of the Boston and Maine dis position be held in abeyance for a time, with the idea that the legislature of Massachusetts, which has Imposed a condition on the sale of the stock, may remove the condition at some fu ture session. Washington, July 20. A final ef fort to bring about a dissolution of the New Haven railroad was made at the department of Justice Saturday. The conference waa requested by President Hustis In a telegram to Secretary McReyn'olds. The tel egram gave no Information aa to what sort of agreement would be sought. A disagreement hetween Iho department of Justice and the road is over the conditions of the sale of the lioston and Maine stock owned by It. Department officials generally be lieve Unless ttui rn n fur.nr. A ,.lnrt. a way out of their difficulty, an' anti trust suit to dissolve the New Haven will be filed by the middle of the week.

A handful of this will furnish entertainment for several weeks and will at the name time irlve a lesson In evolution. The spawn that floats on tha nonda IsHbe eggs of frogs. They lay it In tha first warm days of spring, spread ing It where the rays of the sun will warm It Each egg contains a yolk. which Is. the food of the living germ within, and Is coated with black, prob ably to attract as much heat aa pos sible and at the same time to protect tbe germ from the penetrating ultra violet rays of the UchL which would destroy It The. black yolk Is In the center or a mass of transparent Jelly. wnicn is there as a protective covering If a small mass of spawn be placed In a Jar of water and wntched dally with an ordinary magnifying glass the black yolk of each ecu will nresentl be seen to assume a sausage-like shape. Gradually this takes tbe form of a tiny pollywog. which soon begins to wriar- gle. After a few days these little black bodies wriggle ont throuch the trans. parent Jelly and attach themselves to bits of green sticks or weeds, which should be placed In tbe Jar with. them. ror some time they remain attached to such supports by a sucker, wsitlng for tbe opening of tbe month. As yet there are no visible eyes, bat small stumps on each side of tbe bead will be noticed. These are the gills.
