"- - - ' - ' LAST NOTICE. In again calling attention to those of our subscribers who . have not yet renewed their subscrip tions to Thb Watchman, we hope that we will not be misunderstood. The close of our special offer is on Saturday, June 1st, &f 6 p. m. The price after that date will be one ($1.00) dollar as heretofore one dollar. 5 We want to kempha sive the price for the reasonlhat many things now used in the pub lishing business has materially-increased the cost of produetion and it will be impossible to longer make any cut in the regular sub scription price. A number of other papers have" increas ed their price to $1.50 and $2,00, and it is likely that many others will soon follow their ex ample. No one who really wants his home paper willobject to pay ing one dollar for it, However, our redueed price lasts till Satur day, June lBt, consequently it is to your interest to renew and pay' up in full before that date. We can't think of furnishing The Watchman at the present price and wait indefinitely for our pay, henoe our offer is for actual cash paid in advance. If a blue cross mark appears after your name kindly make it your business to attend to the matter at once. This is the only notice that will be given. ;- President Roosevelt feels :: that there is no necessity for hinV- to re4te rateable purpose; not to be a candidate for another term.; This may be truejBo far. as he is con cerned, but "inhere are. some people whp have become confused, since the s Roosevel t-Harrimati affair, and would rather hear it repeated Often and loud. "1 Brain storm is the late sjt pat saying of those -who, like gutter snipes, think it. something smart to be able to use not refined . and elegant language, but the. latest slang. A fellow by the name of Glover, of Augusta, Qa., defends himself for the murder of a wo man because cf "brain storm" with which he was suddenly, seiz ed. We suppose in hiB case, it is a hemp storm that awaits the pleasure of the law. 1 "Jefferson said that the best government is that which governs the least. The party that does least tojnterrupt the normal pur suits of men, assuring only jus tice between man and man, is. th best party. Columbia State - But there is no such party- The country has irotten cleverlv awav cj V - -J from the Jefferson iau theory, of government.- unanotte UDseryer And so much the worse for our country. If the perpetual candi dates and pot-hunting politicians could be shaken off there might be some hope for its restoration. AS TO THE UNWRITTFN LAW. Perhaps the man guilty of se duction deserves the punishment of death. Possibly it would be well if our laws visited the penal ty of death on the seducer. But unfortunately, for this case, at least, they do not. The "un written law,' we believe, does prescribe death for seduction. Butfc is not our purpose here to OUftrrel With ihft nnwrif tor. !, " uiinAV m WW We wish to point out that even! - under the "unwritten law" the man who is to be slain has this claim on his fellows, that he be shown to be guilty of the offense charged. In this case the slain man being solemnly warned that he was about to be ushered into the presence of his maker, said with his last words, "I am inno cent of the charge preferred," and then his lips were sealed for ever. The slayer told the jury on the evidence of another-7-hear say evidence, which would not be admitted in a court of law that the dead man 'was guilty Did this certainly -establish the the dead man's guilt? His friends say that he "always bore a good name, as a christian and moral man." But that is no certain as surance that he did not commit the offense charged. The Tele graph is not "making a plea so much for the dead man as itt de sires to enter a plea for the living and for the orderliness and secu rity of our social system. Look ing at this case in the calm light of the facts it seems not neces sary to establish the guilt of man charged with the offense in a: ti i i charge the offense and shoot him aown. rue jury says this makes it! justifiable." Who then, is saie m tne community r Macon, Qa., Telegraph. Why every decent man who at- a t . : i tenas - to nis own DusinesB ana keeps nimseiti above suspicion is safe. - Who ever heard of an hon est, upright, self respecting gen tleman being shot for such an of fense. - There are entirely too Owing to a little difficulty be tween Borne of Uncle Sam's blue jackets and several policemen in Havana, Governor Maygoon re ported to Secretary Taft that fc had dispatched Lieutenant Bui- lard to go to the scene of the trouble and select some one to find a suitable person to appoint some one who will order a cor poral or somebody else to investi gate the matter. Being such ad mirers of gold braid we wonder why army officers undertake to fur nish so much of the country's red tape. .The re-election of " A- H."- Boy- den as mayor 'of J Salisbury, for the f oufthtime 'was5 consumated by a y ery poorlyr attended elec tion held ;here Jastjweek.r- This "manifestation : ; of conhdenco' was made possi ble by the s ta yrat homes and - the, whiskey " ring's money and whiskey.We believe there is not a ' half dozen intelli gent men in Saiiebury who do not admit Mr. Boyden's unfitness for the positions yet some good peo ple allowed themselves to be ca joled .and cjoined to the cor rupt element and whiskey dealers and manufacturers - in sufficient numbers to place him in office : a fourth time. However, it is some satisfaction, even with his claim of. 180 majority, to-know that his political sun is surely setting in this community, but by throwing out -the illegal votes and Repub licans who ought not 1 3 have been allowed to vote in the primary, his majority do as not reach much over 25 or 80 votes, the certainty of his defeat and his followers in the future is pateut to all. While he secured the nomi nation, and has again been e leeted that "manifestation of confidence" becomes somewhat of a dream. -Of course there are some seK-interested, jealous or ignorant people who will remain on the decks of Boyden's sinking craft only to go down with it, and the going down part of it is the ma ior portion of its activities m - a. just now. Those who have been on deck and now abide there in blissful ignorance, are known, will be remembered, and are wel come to their choice. many "prominent" citizens even in Georgia, who are engaged in the ruining of women, severing" the ties of wedlock, breaking up and ruining homes anvd dragging down society, to allow them to go - on unchecked, We have long since agreed that it is best to have such things surely and efficiently pun ished by law, but if the law fails to ao so, or aoes not provide ade quate punishment, then let! the unwritten law take . the guilty wretch into custody' and give him the justice he deserves. No one need fear the' country will suffer tne loss oi many, truly -valuable citizens.' - Eugene Ashcraft, of the Mon roe Inquirer was a pleasant visit or last week. The' Ashcraft Bros. ftra ' . (TAifincr rtnt. nn nf - tha Hnafc weeklies in the State and are meeting with deserved .success. - - The interstate commerce com mission has just rendered a deci sion that 60 cents per hundred pounds is areasonable rate for cut flowers shipped from New Jersey to points in New York, having re duced the price from $1.00. While the express companies are great conveniences that could hardly 'be dispensed with, it is a notorious fact that many of thejr charges are unreasonable and ex orbitant. We wonder why the last legislature did not curtail their rates a little while most everything else was being squeezed. If the Democratic party of the State wants at least one popular issue upon which to go before the people-' let ' it put an anti-agent plank into its next platform, Charlotte Observer, We do not-donlit that thre are quite "a numberof pestiferous agents going about through the land, seeking whom they may de vour and eat up, who could be, to the great satisfaction of many sufferers, dispensed with. The Observer does not say so, but as it conducts much of its business by-and through "agents," we are led to infer that it considers some agents a necessary, evil along with the telephone, poets, flies, etc. The boss' tools in the last legis lature passed au actgmng the boss the right to call an election for the purpose of voting on the matter of a $300,000 bond issue, and, we understand, the boss will of course find the dear people will do so very anxious ior said issue that the said, election will fce called. Street improvement is a splendid way in which to show forth -a town's pride and progres sivenessjmd we are glad this mat ter is to come up. If it is called, and we suppose this can be at tended to, this fall, a great, op portunity, awaits the people of Salisbury to kill three birds with one stone, to wit : Kill the bond sue,vote in ; a dispensary: And improve 9ur streets witn .tne rev?. enjde derived from the latter. A capital ide, let's get the ball a rolling? . Our reduced subscription price lasts only 17 days longer. The newly elected Board of Al derinen' will be sworn in on May 20th. a dav on which some evi- deuce seems to indicate quite his toric events took place, conse ouently a fit time for an appro priate inauguration of a city house-cleaning, a more liberal and enligntenea policy and a more lawful and honest conduct of the city's affairs in every department. During the recent campaign some stress was laid on the fact that the aldermen were the responsi ble governing body of the city. This is true, butjwiiat they fail or neglect ttft!dshould be left un done and then the blama, if there be any, will fall where it belongs. I If they neglect their duties,- as , we see it, no one has the authority to "take the bull by the horns" and carry out his individual pleasure. To permit this is worse than ne gleet of duty. The people , have endeavored for severaL elections to elect aldermen who would take the reins of the city government in hand and be in fact and, in truth the governing body, but it is to be regretted that some thus a V . I 1 i iar Beem no nave nad anout as much back-bone as a wiggle-tail, proved recreant to their trusts and the public interests. There are specified times and regula tions which govern the meetings of the Board of Aldermen and every: member is not only entitled, but should make it his business, so far os possible, to attend every meeting, particularly the called meetings. The charge has been made, and no doubt can be prov en, that when the mayor wanted some particular pet measure pass ed be would notify such of the board as were favorable to his pi an that a call meeting would be held on such an occasion, pur posely failing to notify the others and thuB take advantage of them and the citizens they represeuted. We know that the new members of the board are intelligent, wide awake citizona, some of whom at least, have the city's welfare at heart and when occasion demands "it . .i will ne equal to tne emergency. The people look to these new memT bers,. ami such of the old ones as may be tired wallowing in the mire, for a new order of things, for both more efficient officials and methods.

NATURE'S GREAT BLOOD TONIC Qont- Iron&AlufflW ( Representing the Funut Bedford Alum & Iron Springs of Va.) contains 17 of "the most" powerful Mineral Tonics. An 18-oz. bottle contains all the minerals in a barrel of the average water. Wo furnish the minerals, you furnish the water. We have certificates both from the public and from emi nent physicians, telling: of its virtue in Dyspepsia, Rheumatism a large variety of Female Diseases, Chronic Diarrhoea and Dysentery, General De bility, Anaemia, Malaria, Ulceration of the Throat, Diabetes, Piles, Chronic Eczema, Ner vousness, Chronic Constipation, and many show ing: the wonderful cures in that dreadful disease, Scro fula. - Dr. T. L. Kableb, ior fifteen years a resident at the Springs, says: For Scnrfyla, that fearful destroyer of human health and happiness, we have in this water a remedy which neither science nor fortunate accident has hitiwrlo found an equal. It is in this malady, and some forms of secondary and tertiary SyphUis, that this water when carried to ils fuU alterative effect, displays its highest curative powers: In aU forms of diseases peculiar to females, this water will be found to exert a curative influence second to none in Virginia. T have given your Concentrated Water a fair trial, and say with pleas ure I have been greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or less with Indigestion, followed by Constipation and other attendant iHS. Within the past two months I have found such relief from your remedy that I have improved in strength and weight; have eaten what I have not dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been able to do before for years. - Rev. OSCAR LITTLETON, . . Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va. Since 1894 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For three or four years past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy to state that after using about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea. - Capt. RUFUS AMIS, Virgilina, Va. I was an intense sufferer for somel months with Indigestion, and could get no relief from the ordinary remedies. During the month of January I began the use of your Concentrated Water, and one bottle has entirely re lieved m& I can now digest any diet and am entirely free from suffering. I take great pleasure in giving this testimonial. ' ' ' - Rev. H. M. BLAIR, - - Editor JV. G Christian Advocate, - Greensboro, N. C. I have used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs, but none of them begin to come up to your Concentrated Water in all that goes to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetizer and restorative. It is at once a fine tonic and flesh-builder. Have, advised several recently to try it, and always with fine and quick results. In January I had a bottle sent from one of your dealers to a lady, with the understanding that if it did not at once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself. She not only willingly paid the bill, but used a part of one-half dozen more bottles, and is now completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach Trouble. This seems to be the case with all who try it. " - T'-S.-P. HILLIARD7M. D., . -. - R ocky Mount, N. C. J. H.
