Hendersonville, N. C, July 12. "The greatest speech of a great man,' was the comment on the remarkable address of Judge Alton B. Parker, the eminent New York iurist before the North Carolina Bar Association today. At the conclusion of the address there was an ''unusual demonstration, the dealening applause continuing several minutes. Men cried "Parker, Parker," and the ladies waved their handker chiefs. As Judge Parker rose to re spond to the ovation there was another furore of applause and the entire audi ence rose to its feet. The following resolution, offered by Hon. E. J. Justice, Speaker lof the House of Representatives, was unani mously, adopted by a standing vote and cheers rilled the large 'court room from the lusty throats of enthusiastic lawyers, three ringing cheers being giv en for Judge Parker. "ResoA ed, that the sincere thanks of this association be tendered Judge Parker for his lawyer-like and statesman-like and masterly call back to the constitution at this most opportune time for such utterances." - True Bill For Murder Re turned By Grand Jury.

A desperate at tempt to poisn the family of former Sheriff Jones, ol this county, was re vealed here today. The family live in the country. Arsenic was secretly placed in the coffee pot at supper time, and for several hours after supper sev eral members of the family were in a dying condition, and are not yet out of danger. Developments as to the perpetrator of the terrible deed are awaited with widespread interest. Col. Bryan's Thanks. (By special wire to The Argus.) Bartlesville, I. T.

LUNCHED WITH ROOSEVELT. This Looks Like There Is No War Cloud Lowering. Special to The Argus. New York, July 12. Japanese Am bassador Aoki, Admiral Yamamoto, Commander Kato and the entire party ot Japanese officials and attaches, who are on a tour of sight seeing, were visi tors at Oyster Bay to-day and lunched with the President, at his summer home. '." '. . ''"'Z' J. i It was purely a social visit, and was so regarded by all parties, hence there was no discussion of the idle rumors of the sensation-loving element as to war or any 6ther public questions. Raleigh, July 11. At almost exactly five o'clock yesterday afternoon the grand jury filed into the Wake county Superior Court and handed to Judge Long several indictments among which was one charging D. S. Rowland and his wife, Lillie M. Rowland, with the murder of C. R. Strange, the former husband of the female defendant. Although there were no formalities connected with' the bringing ot the bill and the result was one that was expect ed even by the most partisan of Dr. Rowland's friends, the incident caught and held the close attention of the bar as well as of the large crowd present. Neither of the defendants were m court and the brother and brother-in- law of Dr. Rowland, who were present, neither gave any sign of emotion. : The defendants will probably be ar raigned to answer the bill at this after noon's session, since by an agreement reached between counsel for the Row lands and the State later in the after noon, Judge Long will be asked to pass on certain exceptions of the State to depositions taken for the defense in Memphis and Portsmouth before this is aone. In contending, that an agreement to this effect be signed the attorneys for the defendants stated that their reason was that, if the depositions should for any reason be thrown out, they would resist a trial at this term; but that, if they were admitted in their material portions, thev should desire a trial to be had. The matter of the depositions will, therefore, be heard by Judge Long at chambers probably today. Dr. Row land and his wite will then be arraign ed and the question of whether this erin of courfwill see the trial of the sensational case will doubtless depend upon the decision as to the admissibili ty of the depositions. There are two principal depositions, one from Dr. E, E. Haynes, a reputa ble physician ot Memphis, Strange's od home, who certifies that he pre scribed for Strange in the spring of 1906 for "mitral insuffi.cincy,"a disease of the heart that usually causes sudden death. The other deposition is that ot a drug gist in Portsmouth, who testifies that he frequently filled for Strange the pre scription ot Dr. Haynes, of digitalis, a heart stimulant, and that Strange told him he suffered from heart disease. Dr. Rowland, who attended Strange in his sudden fatal illness certified the cause of death as "heart disease,"when the burial grant was asked for. If the depositions are admitted by Judge Long the trial will be set for next week; and it they are ruled out, doubtless an appeal will be taken, and certainly a continuance asked for- .

Mrs. May Bowie and her son Henry ; were today acquitted of killing Hubert Posey, who Jiad seduced the , daughter of Mrs Bowie under promise of marriage.- .t The "unwritten law" was the sole plea of the defendants, but the-; jury recognized it as justifiable and prompt ly rendered their verdict accordingly prohibition' marching on.

Keeps Tab On Everything But Your Thoughts and Gets Mighty Near to Them. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES BIG LEGAL BATTLE. It Is Foreshadowed , in the R. R. Rate Question Between State and Federal Courts. ' (Special Wire to the Akgus) Raleigh, July 13. It is considered quite certain that the Wake grand jury this evening will return indictments against the ticket sellers ot the South ern raiway here for charging more than the 2 1-4 cent fare, established by the last legislature. " The Seaboard is charging the nev rate and is not, therefore, affected. This abtion, is regarded as of grave moment, for it is the initial step to wards an assured big fight between the State and federal courts over the limi tations of their respective powers. Later: The grand jury bave just re turned a true, bill, against, the Souths era's ticket agent, Green, of this city, for exacting excess of 2 1-2 , cents per mile in selling tickets over that road. There has just been placed in com mission in the Goldsboro Shoe Store, by Mr. Frank M. Miller, system ex pert for the National Cash Register Company, ot Dayton, Ohio, one of that company's ve-y latest Cash Registers, which for marvelous mechanism and efficiency of detail in keeping accounts and tab on every business transaction of the day is so near to human that the more you study it "the more the won der grows". It were tedious, if not impossible to give in detail all the features of this wonderful machine, yet some of its leadine characteristics will, we are sure, be of general interest. Here are some ol them: Cash sales of eaeh clerk and total ad dition of same. Charge sales ot each clerk and total addition of same. Goods sent out on approval by each clerk and total addition of same. Goods returned, to whom returned and total addition of same, Money paid out, what for and by what clerk, and total addition . of same. Money received on account, to whom paid and total addition of same. Number of customers waited on by each clerk and total addition of same. Shows want list for stock. Shows total credits on ledger and adds the new day's work to it, thus giving at any moment the exact amount owing, the firm. Shows total cash and credit business each day, each week and month. Shows number of cash and number of credit customers. Shows number of times change was made fbr customers during the day and by whom made. Keeps each clerk's cash and charge sales separate. The Goldsboro Shoe Company bought this Cash Register in order to not only safeguard their own interests but that of their customers. No person can come in store and have transaction with any clerk or roanager but what an absolutely correct record is made of same. It is impossible to make er rors in accounts or charges when using thisiRegister, and there can never arise any dispute about the return of goods, any question or seeming error can be traced to almost any hour or date of transaction. ' , This particular machine was built especially for theSoldsboro Shoe Com pany featured, as 'above, to meet the requirements of this company's busy and varied trade; and so these'' nia chines can be constructed to meet the especial requirements of any and many featured business, and when so con structed, it is next to impossible to handle the machine dishonestly or. care lessly without being detected. And thus the details of business are kept close tab upon and leaks and losses, that otherwise so surely sap profits, are readily detected, and, of course, the remedy follow"?. "It really would seem, after a thor ough inspection of this marvelous ma chine, that, in this day and time, no up- to-date business establishment can well do without its assistance.

Greensboro Record. v This temperance, prohibition busi ness is getting pretty warm when the city of Louisville, Ky., puts on the lid good and strong so that not a drop of the ardent can be had on Sunday, . yet this is what happened last Sunday. Governor Beckham is a prohibitionist; on account of some legal tangle all the city officials were ousted some time ago, leaving the governor to fill their places This he did, then the ordinance relating to selling on the Sabbath was strictly enforced and they do say that for. the first time in the history of that great city men were spitting cotton all day long. The greater part of Kentucky is dry, and year by year sees "many of the cities followlng'suit. It is even claim ed that one of these days Louisville will go dry. 7 ' A thing well begun is better than a thing overdone. The Lenoir Topic, the home paper of Goldsboro's new superintendent of schools, in referring to Prof. Woltz's recent election to this position, says some very graceful and gracious things about our city that-,we all very sincere ly appreciate. We copy its words as follows: "Prof. A. E. Woltz has been elected superintendent of the Goldsboro graded schools. This is quite an honor, as no higher compliment can be paid to a school superintendent in the State. Among the former superintendents of these schools are Dr. E. A. Alderman, now president of the University, of Virginia, State Superintendent J. Y. Joyner, and J. I. Foust, of the State Normal and Industrial College at Greensboro. The fact that Prof. Woltz has been elected to thesuperintendency of the Goldsboro graded schools means that he is regarded as one of the best school men in the State."

Raleigh News-Observer. 4 Greenville has won the location of the East Carolina Teachers' Training School after a long drawn out contest in which eight of the best towns in Eastern North Carolina participated. It was a contest worth winning, and that Greenville was chosen is proof that in Pitt county there is progress and prosperity, and a determination to suc ceed. The decision came yesterday after noon after the State Board of Education held a morning and afternoon session, and the news was heard with delight by Senator J. L. Fleming, ex-Senator F G. James and County Superintendent of Public Instruction W. H.

IN ONE WEEK ALL SORES DISAPPEARED "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all righft in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since ifc was an ulcer. So We went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye eight ras gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged 510 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. Ti No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N. Y., August 17, 1906."
