PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON
THE LABOR UNION
QUESTION.
jTo-Night the President Authorized
the Publication of a Letter
Which Was Sent to
Each Member of
His Cabinet on
July 22nd.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 20. President
Roosevelt has made application to
all departments of the government
service the principle he enunciated
at the time he re-instated William
A. Miller to the position in the gov
ernment printing office from which
Miller had been dismissed because of
a disagreement with the bookbind
ers' union. The President has plain
ly stated to the members of his Cab
inet that that principle is to "indi
cate the policy of the President," in
similar cases.
To-night the President authorized
the publication of a letter which was
sent to each member of his Cabinet
on the 22nd of July. The letter was
signed by Mr. Barnes, acting secre
tary to the President, and is as fol
lows: "My Dear Sir: "The President
directs me to send you herewith, for
your information, copies of two let
ters sent to Secretary Cortelyou with
reference to the government print
ing office, which define the attitude
of the administration in connection
with the subject discussed. They are
sent to you for your information and
guidance, as they indicate the policy
of the President in this matter."
The letters to Secretary Cortelyou
were written on July 13 and 14. The
salient sentence of the first letter
was:
"There is no objection to the em
ployes of the government printing
office conitituting themselves into a
union if they so desire, but no rules
or resolution of that union can be
permitted to override the laws of the
United States, which it is my sworn
duty to enforce."
In the letter of the 14th, the Pres
ident quoted the finding of the an
thracite strike commission regarding
the employment of labor as follows:
"It is adjudged and awarded that
no person shall be refused employ
ment or in any way discriminated
against on account of membership or
non-membership in any labor organ
ization and that there shall be no
discrimination against or interfer
ference with any employe who is not
a member of any labor organization
by members of such organization."
Concerning this principle the Pres
ident wrote:
"It is of course, mere elementary
decency to require that all the gov
ernment departmenti shall be han
dled in accordance with the princi
ple thns clearly and fearlessly enun
ciated."

JUDGE NEAL'S CHARGE. '
From Monday's Charlotte News
we take the following account of
Judge Neal's charge to the grand
jury:
"In his charge to the grand jury
this morning Judge Walter H. Neal
declared war on the bucket-shop. He
charged the jury that it was a crime
under our law to buy or sell for fu
ture delivery on margins, corn, cot
ton, wheat or other food or agricul
tural products; that the law made it
illegal to operate so-called bucket
shops, and those who were in charge
of such shops, as well as those who
buy or sell therein, were guilty un
der the law. He informed the grand
jury that such establishments were
being operated in Charlotte and that
a number of people were dealing,
according to the information that
had come to him.
"Judge Neal called upon the jury
to make a searching investigation
and if the jury found such establish
ments operating here it was the duty
of the grand jury to have such part
ies brought before the court; that
the above instructions were in the
manner of a test for the present jury
system in that it would show
whether people with means and in
fluence were just as amenable to the
law as poor people, without any in
fluence." Latter to Porter & Godwin.
Goldsboro, N. C.
Dear Sir: "It costs as much to
put on poor paint as good" a com
mon saying and true it costs much
more to put on poor paint; more gal
lons. Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand, or paint and lime, or
paint and chalk, o? paint and ben
zine, or paint and water; these are
the usual cheats; there are others.
It takes more gallons of paint-and-a-cheat
than of of honest paint; and
the cost of the labor of painting is so
much a gallon one gallon costs as
much as another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your
costs for this year; but how about
next year?.
Paint Devoe, and next year costs
the same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what you
paint with. Some of the mixtures
wear one year; some two; some
three.
It costs twice, three times, four
time, five times, as much to paint
with a cheat as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
P. S. Smith & Yelverton sell our
paint.

Or INTEREST TO FARMERS.
An Old Time and Superb Natural
Fertilizer Coming Back on
the Market.
In tl ?se days when manufactured
chemical fertilizers 'are being turned
out in such large quantities to sup
ply the constantly increasing de
mand for plant food, the use of the
old fashioned natural manures is be
ing rapidly forgotten. Aside from
ordinary stable manure, which all
sensible farmers should store up for
application on their land, there is
another natural manure, which was
very popular in this State and South
Carolina some years ago, until com
mercial reasons prevented its fur
ther importations and it was no long
er to be had. r We refer to Peruvian
Guano, a fertilizer that all the old
time farmers well remember on
account of the exceptional results
they obtained from its use.
We are glad to say that Peruvian
Guano ean be had once more. The
owners of the deposits of this mater
ial on the Islands "off the coast of
Peru, finding that this manure
could not be imported into this coun
try and sold at the old prices it used
to command (about $80 per ton,)
have now arranged their price on
this material so it can be sold in com
petition to the artificially manufac
tured fertilizers.
The Peruvian Guano which is
now being imported through the
ports of Wilmington and Charleston
annalyses about 4 per cent ammonia,
4 per cent potash and 20 per cent
phosphoric acid. Several vessels
haveal ready been chartered to con
vey this material from the west
coast of South America and arrive
at these ports during the months of
December, January and February.
HAY FEVER'S CONQUEROR.
Breathe Hyomei and Escape This
Dreaded Summer Visitor.
By the use of Hyomei, you can
save an expensive trip to the moun
tains and escape weeks of suffering.
This remarkable remedy for the cure
of hay fever, kills the germs of the
disease, soothes and heals the irri
tated mucous membrane, if used two
or three weeks before the time of the
usual appearance of hay fever will
prevent the attack.
The completed Hyomei treatment
consists of a neat pocket inhaler,
through which Hyomei is breathed,
a bottle of Hyomei, and a medicine
dropper. The air taken into the
lungs in this way is filled with heal
ing balsams and forms a perfect safe
guard against attacks of hay fever or
rose cold.
Those who have had hay fever,
know how little help can be gained by
stomaeli dosing in this disease. Hy
omei is the only scientific yet com
mon sense treatment for the trouble.
It is easy enough for any one to
say that a remedy will give satisfac
tion, but J. H. Hill & Son offer to
refund the money if Hyomei does
not do all that is claimed for it, cer
tainly inspires faith in the treatment.
Hyomei really gives you in your
ownhome, a change of climate, and
hav fever sufferers know from past
experience that this has been the
only thing that afforded them reiier.
By breating Hyomei a few times
daily, you can save the expense and
trouble of a mountain trip and avoid
all danger of hay fever.

to-night disappointed because the

Saginaw, Mich., f August 20.
James Budd and Eugene Moss, aged
16 years, were burned to death here
in an electric light tower at 8 o'clock
to-night. It had been the practice
of boys playing in that neighborhood
to climb the tower, which is 125 feet
high, to the platform at the top. To
night the Moss boy, while at the
top, touched a wire carrying a heavy
current, and instantly his body
was a mass of flames. Young Bud
had started to descend, but returned
to attempt to rescue his companion.
The moment he touched the wire he
too became enveloped in flames.
Both were instantly killed.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 19. Al
bert Ecklund, alias George Joynson,
who was captured at Rawlins and
was being taken back to Chicago to
answer to the charge of grand lar
ceny, effected a remarkable escape
from Detective William Marsden.
Marsden left Rawlins last night
with Ecklund, and to make sure of
his man, shackled him to a seat in
the smoking department of a chair
car. While Marsden was sleeping
beside his prisoner, Ecklund went
through the detective's pockets, se
cured the keys to the shackles, re
leased himself and then shackled the
officer to the steampipes. Having
relieved the officer of his weapons
and other property, Ecklund left the
train at Laramie. Marsden was not
awakened by the conductor until
Cheyenne was reached, when he
called for assistance. As Marsden
had absolutely nothing on his person
to prove that he was not a prisoner,
the train men would not release him.
The railroad authorities telegraphed
to Chicago for instructions, and when
the train reached Sydney, Marsden
was finally released from his predic
ament. To-night he passed through
Cheyenne en route to Laramie to
try to effect the re-capture of his
prisoner.

RATTLESNAKES IN STONE.
Staange Explanation of Peculiar
Markings on a Public
Building.
Indianapolis News.
One of the plinths in the north
front of the new Federal building
promises ill for the peace of mind of
the inveterate toper, for on its sur
face, in a delicate tracery, is appar
ently the outline of many rattle
snakes. An old stone man from the
Bedford quarries called attention to
the lreak several days ago, and said
that such markings were very unus
ual. According to his story these snakes
existed many years ago, in prehis
toric times, back in the era when the
plots for fairy stories were laid. Pos
sibly these snakes were cold, accord
ing to his story, anyway they coiled
closely lo one another and in that
form were petrified and were grad
ually turned to stone. The stone ex
pert also pointed out where the rat
tles of the snakes may be seen
plainly.
One of the most peculiar features
of one stone is the fact that the trac
ery shows most plainly during damp
weather, and if it were on the south
side of the building, it is said, the
sun would soon bleach its delicate
tracery until it would be no longer
discernable. On account of its pres
ent situation the sun seldom reaches
it, but when it does the outlines of
the snakes completely disappear.
THF STRIKE SETTLED.

reason of the necessity for troops to

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.
Mi-o-na Costs You Nothing, if it
Does Not Cure, Says J. H. Hill
& Son.
Mi-o-na, the remarkable flesh
forming food and cure for dyspep
sia, has won fame by the unusnal
way in which it is sold. It is the
only remedy offered for the cure of
dyspepsia which costs the user ab
solutely nothing unless it cures.
J. H. Hill & Son, the popular
druggists, are selling a great many
packages of Mi-o-na and with every
box is given a personal guarantee to
refund the money if Mi-o-na does
not give satisfaction, you to be your
own judge as to whether the reme
dy helps or not.
Mi-o-na is an unusual combina
tion, itis'a flesh-forming food com
bined with agents that regulate the
digestive organs and remove irrita
tion, congestion and inflammation
from the stamach, liver and intes
tines. It enables those organs to ex
tract from the food all that goes to
make good, rich blood, firm muscle,
steady nerves and a sound body. It
does not contain any pepsin, pan
creatin or other drugs, that never ef
fect a cure and rarely give even tem
porary relief.
Mi-o-na puts the digestive system
into proper working order, gives
health, strength and good flesh, and
is the natural cure for indigestion.
Eyen m chronic
cases, where life is
one long drawn out pain, this reme
dy will effect a cure. It is the sim
plest and most reliable of all reme
dies. Just one tablet before or after
meals and you can eat a hearty meal
without distress.
If Mi-o-na dues not do all that is
claimed for it J. H. Hill & Son will
refund your money.
