GOLDSBORO, N. C, JULY 18 1907 MB. ASHLEY HORNE. We publish elsewhere in this issue i -sketch of Mr. Ashley Home by a life time friend of his, Mr. J. T. Ellington It is well written, and is high praise of Mr. Home, and yet not one line that is there written would have been written if it were not true, for J. T. Ellington is not given to fullsome talk or to say inar thin&rs that are not true: nor would he champion the candidacy of a man for Governor who was not worthy of that high honor. Therefore, the Abgus cheerfully admits to its columns, at the solicitation of Mr. Home's friends, Mr. Ellington's sketch. "People with short and crusty man ners do not get good jobs," says the Albuquerque Citizen. We had. always supposed that the presidency was good job. As the public debt of the United States is now less than a billion dollars, Mr. Rockefeller might carry out Mr, Webster's project of paying himself. JTnst as the vellow newspapers were subsiding a little the Chautauqua cir cuit springs the sensation that two senatorial lecturers are going to fight a duel. Colonel Watterson thinks that Bryan eould beat Roosevelt, We have some times thought that Mr. Roosevelt fear d the same result. Tiv the time the navy for the Pacific is ready to start, it may be found expe dient just to send the Dolphin as an evidence of good faith. There have been so many official ex planations of the sending of the Pacific fleet that the Japanese may be unwill ing to believe the truth when it is told them. - When Abe Hummel publishes his book and Mayor Schmitz goes on the lecture platiorms the doctrines of the freedom of the press and free speech will be under a heavy strain. After cogitating three months Sena tor Daniel declares that a Democratic candidate should be neither too radical " nor too conservative. Might as well have said "safe and sane." The New York Sun in advocating tariff reform confirms the impression that the railroads would like to have a diversion of Interest from the transpor tation problem. New York has organized a society for he spread ef good manners. We did not know that good manners in New York were condensed enough there to . te spread elsewhere. BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.

The stem of the twig was completely hidden by the plums. Kenansville News. "Bill Dutch", one of the old-time landmarks of Ken ansville, and a Democratic darkey all of his days, came in the other day from Kinston to look upon the old scenes. Upon being asked about Judge O. H. Allen's health, who now resides in Kinston, "Dutch" replied, "He's look ing well, but both of us couldn't leave at the same time". Greensbore Record.- The reason why there is at present, so much popular feeling against corporations in general is that the men who manage those in stitutions make use of public fran chises, which are really nothing but li censes to serve the people, as means and instruments of oppression, extor tion, and corruption, and. convert their license to serve into a power to tax a power which none but the government should possess or exercise. Charlotte News. Probably the best indication of the general prosperity that is being enjoyed in the different counties of the State is the report of the tax assessing boards of the several counties. We believe, without excep tion every county that has so far re ported has shown a most unusual and unprecedented increase in wealth. As the lamented Sam Jones was wont to sya, We're comin some".

TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millionS. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price ot which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary -of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. Louisville, Ky. San Francisco, Cal. U S. A.
