New ravins Ordinance.
The aldermen have adopted an ordi
nance governing the paving of side
walks which stipulates that tbe city
shall, after giving a property owner
ten days' notice, proceed lo pave tne
sidewalk and charge the property
owner with the actual cost. The work
is to be done under the direction of the
street commission. After notiee to
nave has been served on a property
owner he cannot pave the property
himself, but will have to allow it to be
done by the city. He can pave it him
self, however, before notice has been
served. It is thought that, by securing
a competent man to have charge of
the work, it can be done cheaper than
by contract.

SENT TO WORK BOUSE.
Young: Nesrroes Stole - Horse and Buggy
From Mr. J. S. Ingold. :
Radiel Green and " Wilson Moore,
two young colored boys, were given a
hearing in the Superior court Monday
and sent to the county work house for
two years for larceny and cruelty to
animals. Thursday afternoon the
youthful criminals took a horse and
buggy that had been driven to the city
by Mr. and Mrs. J. 8. Ingold, of Van
dalia, and'drove the animal for two or
three hours. 1 .
The horse was hitched on East Syca
more street, qear Corl's blacksmith
Bhop, and had been in the hands of the
reckless boys over an hour before its
absence was discovered. Mr. Ingold
notified Deputy Sheriffs Weatherly
and Shaw that his horse was missing,
and the officers immediately went in
pursuit, following the young criminals
in Mr. Ernest Clapp's automobile. The
boys were arrested on Pearson street.
Tbe horse had been driven unmerci
fully and was in such a bad condition
that it had to be left in town a few
days. The buggy was damaged also,
showing that the driving had been of
the most reckless kind. .
The Green boy was connected with
a similar case a few weeks ago, and in
addition, he was charged with the
theft of a bicycle from the young son
of Mr. W. A. Fields. '

Back From the Seat of War.
Mr. G. S. Bradshaw has returned
from Chicago, where he appeared be
fore the Republican national commit
tee as counsel for .the delegates from
North Carolina whose seats were con
tested by representatives of what is
known as the "allied forces." Contests
were filed against the four delegates at
large and the delegates from seven
congressional districts. The contest
made against tbe North Carolina dele
gates seems to have been a very tame
affair, the committee rendering a un
animous decision in favor of the regu
larly elected delegates Immediately al
ter hearing the evidence. i
Mr. Bradshaw says the certainty of
the nomination of Secretary Taft for
president has killed the interest that
usually attaches to Republican nation
al convention.
No Humbug.
No humbug claims have to be made
for Foley's Honey and , Tar, the well
known remedy for coughs, colds and
lung troubles. The fact that more bot
tles of Foley's Honey and Tar are used
than any other cough remedy-Is the
best testimonial . of its great merit.
Why then risk taking some unknown
nrAnaration when Foley's Honey and
Tar costs you no more and is safe and
sure, ah aruggisis.
