ANTIQUITY OF NEWSPAPERS. The Art of Printing Is Modern, But the Principal of Publishing the News is Very Ancient. HITS FROM SHOULDER. Governor Glenn Condemns the Plea of Legislative "Courtesy. " "Those who think the newspaper is a modern institution should read up on that subject, as I have been doing re cently," said a man yesterday, who has been perusing the encyclopedias and other sources of information on News papers. "The first Roman Journal, as it was called, was published over 2,000 years ago, and appeared only once a year. This paper, intended to be read by the public at large, was known by the title of 'Annales Maximus.' The editor of this journal was Pontife Maximus, whose duty it was to chronicle all the important events of the year. This . news was written on white wooden tablets and hung on the outside of the residences of the citizens. It must have been a curious sight to see the old Romans crowding around these tablets to get a look at the latest news, some of it being perhaps a year old. "But the thirst after knowledge and the curiosity of the people grew rapidly and in such a measure that the govern ment, the only publisher of a journal, found it necessary to issue a daily. The name of what is supposed to have been the first daily joural was 'Acti Populi Romani Diurni.' From the lack of ma terial political articles were, perhaps, fortunately not to be had. "It would be interesting to read verbal translation from the oldest jour nal extant, supposed to have been is sued 168 years before the birth of Christ. The literal translation reads: 'Consul Cicinius was the acting judge today. There was a heavy thunder storm, and the lightning split an oak at the foot of the hills at Velia. In the hosterly at the foot hills of Janus there was a fight in which the landlord was badly wounded. Titinius punished some butchers on account of their sell ing meat which had not been inspect- .. ed, the money thus paid being used to erect a chapel t the goddess Laverna. The broker Ausidus fled from town to day, taking with, him money belong ing to other people. He was caught and had to refund the money. The brigand, Demiphon.who was captured by officer Nerva, has been crucified today. The flotilla from Asia arrived today.' "We see from this that it was in old en times pretty much as it is today. We haven't got very much on them. We only wish that our officials would treat our butchers after the manner Titinius dealt with those of his time. And then they had a run-away banker, just as we have them. No doubt Banker Ausidus hit a hot trail for lands beyond the Tiber, just as dis honest bankers do for those beyond the Atlantic nowadays, but a sharp Roman detective went after him, caught him, and forced him to refund the poor people's money. They don't do that to day; times have changed. "It is also interesting to note that Julius Cosear, the greatest of all Ro- mans, saw the necessity of instructing the people in regard to current matters and for this reas'on spent much time in J his attention to journalism." ACTUALLY CURES CATARRH. J. H. Hill & Son's Faith in Hyomei is so Strong they Sell it Under Guarantee. 7 It is one thing to claim, another thing to back up the claim by a state ment that if it is not proven true, there will be no charge for the service or the goods. .. It is in this way that J. H. Hill & Son sell Hyomei, for they have so much iaith in Vs powers to cure all forms of catarrh and bronchial trou bles, that they give an absolute, un qualified guarantee with every outfit that if the remedy does not cure, the money will be refunded . . Hyomei is based on nature's way of curing catarrh. It contains the concentrated healing oils and gums of the pine woods, prepared in such form that they can be brought into your own home. It gives the health advantages of the Adirondacks in such form that you can be cured of catarrh and affections of the hose. r throat and lungs while at home or at work. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1, and extra bottles, if needed, may be obtained for 50c.

An uplift was the address of Gov ernor Glenn at the Methodist church Sunday night, when in words eloquent he showed that North Carolina's eon- inued and growing greatness depended upon Christian development, that the young men must be stong and Christian young men in order to make our great ness an enduring greatness. His subject was "North Carolina's Needs for Strong and Christian Young Men." and in the course of this he dwelt at length upon the need of sobriety, reiterating his position for prohibition in North Carolina for all the people, and to come by the vote of the people, He declared that he longed to see the day when the Democratic party would see to it that the whole people expressed their wishes on this subject. But perhaps the greatest departure from the usual lines of his address Avere his remarks upon the matter of theeffort in the Legislature to pass laws by "Leislative courtesy" He condemned this and held that men should be guided by their conscience, and not by pleas of friendship and "'Legislative courtesy," which was no proper argument to be addressed to legislators to have them depart from the sanctity of their oaths. Referring to attempts to bind men by individual views, he said that while the Democratic State platform commends the "Watts and Ward laws, it did not say that no further steps should be taken for temperance and prohibition. The Governor was talking to a great audience that filled the lower portion of the church and overflowed in large numbers in thefgallery. Great num bers of the men and women of Raleigh were there, as well as many from out side the city, in the congregation being numbers ot the members of the General Assembly, the latter being told "straight from the sbonlder"that their acts in the Legislature should be based on what is right, and not what other members might ask from "Legislative courtesy" on friendship.

President Roosevelt has "whang- doodled" William J. Oliver out of an opportunity to bild the Panama canal, but has not lost faith in all southern men, for in reorganizing the canal com mission he proposes to appoint five southern men out of seven. The south- men are: Maj. William Luther Sibert, born and reared in Gadsden; Major David Dubose Gaillard, born in and appointed to West Point from South Carolina; Col William C. Gorgas, assist ant "surgeon-general, of Alabama; Senator J. C. S. Blackburn of Ken tucky, and Jackson Smith, born in South Carolina, where he was a railway official. The remaining two members are Rear Admiral Endicott of Massa chusetts, who is retained because the law calls for a naval engineer, and Maj G. W. Goethals, born in New York, but who was long connected with the con struction of the Muscle Shoals canal, These commissioners bid fair to dig the canal, and, five out of seven are southern-born men. The south hurt over the Oliver incident, can find so lace in the fact the President was com pelledat last to turn to southern men. The commission will be reorganized by a request for several resignations, and the men named will then be appointed. When that is done the south will not be in a position to declare that it has been discriminated against at Panama, for the canal will then be in southern hands. Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured In Days.
