And it ia so thoroughly harmless, that Dr. Sboop tells mothers to do nothing else, even for very you.rg babies. The wholesome green leaves aud tender stem"' of a lung healing mountainous shrub give the cura tive properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy. It calms the cough, and heals the sensative bronchial membrames, No opium, no chloroform, nothing ha Bh used to injure or suppress. Demand Dr. Shoop's. Accept no other Sold by Cornelison & Cook.

Paul Barringer will preach in the Reformed church Sunday evening-at 3:30 o'clock. A great many of the boys went o'possum hunting Saturday night, but did not get any meat. Aunt Jane. LOWER ROWAN. Sept. 28 The health of our community is good at this writ ing. y Eli Arey, the eldest son of D. C. Arey, had the misfortune of getting his arm broken last Fri day by falling off a wagon. There was another highway rob bery near Richfield last Saturday night. Three men held up a col ored man robbed him of one dollar and twenty-five cents in cash and a seventeen dollar watch. The time has come, it seems, that it is unsafe, for a country man to go to majiret with a load of produce to Bell, that be may get some cash ; for when he gets to the outskirts of town he may be held up and robbed, be cause he is a law abiding citizen he has nothing to protect himself with, and therefore he is an easy prey to highwaymen, The bad class carry weapons and rove around seeking whom they may rob, while the honest man, in obedience to law, goes unarmed, and, at the mercy of the robbers. There oughtto be something done. The lawabiding people should have some protection. Miss Ada D. Shaver went to Salisbury last Saturday to stay with a cousin for some time, where she will have the advantage ofjstudying music. We have had a gracious revival at Zion M. E. church, which last ed for eleven days, closirg last Tuesday night with about twenty- two conversions and reclamations, there were eight added to. the church aud more are expected to follow. Rev.

But the de fense wanted to have the case con tinued, stating that'the defendant kuew of three witnesses who would corroborate his testimony in that they could swear that he was jus tified in drawing his pistol upon Smithers. Greensboro Telegram. How to Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to be strong: He says: "My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily growing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy stomach, liver and -kindey com plaints. Sold under guarantee at all Druggists. 50c. In Memorium. At Mumford Monroe Kirk depart ed this life September 20feh, 1908, aged 62 years, 10 months and 26 days. Thia, funeral services were conducted in the presence of a large congregation in the Bap tist church near China Grove, his former pastor1 Rev. Dr. J. N.

Mr. Kirk professed faith in Jesus Christ early in life and be came a member of Corinth Baptist church in lower Rowan. When h3 settled near China Grove he be came one of the charter members of China Grove Baptist church. He was an earnest, devoted, con secrated Christian not sectarian ; but loyal to his convictions of the teachings of the Word of God and to the church. To him, very largely, the Baptist are indebted for their house of worship at China Grove. As a citizen he was par excel lence. When a youth he volun teered in the services of his State and of the South and served through th9 war between the State?. A patriot soldier of his country; a good soldier of Jesus Christ, a model citizen ; an earnest friend, an obliging neighbor; a devoted hubaud and father, he sleeps in Jesus and rests well. Peace to his ashes and bright the memory of him. The following Confederate vet erans, his companion-in arms, in defense of the Confederate cause, were present and marched in sol emn procession to the place of in terment and committed all that was mortal to their brother-inarms to the dust. May each of them meet him in Heaven : Messrs. Moses Eddleman, Lee Shulenberger, Sam Roberts, Ru fus Beaver, Milas Ketchie, Jacob Barringer, P. R. Sloop, Jacob Lipe, Levi Deal, Frank Rogers, H. J. Pless. Mr. Kirk had been afflicted with an incurarable disease for several years; he was an inspiration to his brethren in the church and a model to all iu his community. He reared a family of nine sons to whom he has left the rich heri tage of a spotless character aud of a devoted Christian. His be reaved wife and family have the sympathy of the community and all who know him. Respectfully, J. N. Stallings. IMMANUEL. Sept. 28.

During the past year forest work in North Carolina has been coufiued to the swamp lands near the coast, which are owned by the State board of education. After an examination most of these for est lands were withdrawn from sale until it could be definitely de termined whether it is better to sell the land outright, to sell the timber on the stump and have it cut under the supervision of a for ester, or to sell all the timber and clear the land for agricultural purposes. In. a number of cases it is evidently the betier policy to knep the forests and make them a perpetual source of income to the State. These examinations have encouraged tho drainage of swamp lands,especially a 44,000-acre tract which belongs to the State, part of which is good forest land. A forester has been employed, whe- will carry out the plans regarding the State land, and take up ques tions regarding general State for estry. The State' owns 700.000 acres of forest land, and its forest interests are second only to those of agriculture. CONFESSED THE DEED. Negro Admits Hating Caused Wreck at Welford, S. C.

Editor Watchman: Permit me few words in re lation to a subject which may have some interest for a number of your readers in Salisbury. I am not appealing- to anybody to unite with the Episcopal church, and do not want to be understood that way. That is entirely out side of the question. I do how ever, desire to call the attention of those who are not in the habit of attending- Sunday School, tc the fact that on every Sunday morning- at 10 o'clock, Hon. John S. Henderson conducts a Bible class in the chapter house of St. Luke's Episcopal church, and I want to say that it is the most interesting and instructive class of the kind I have ever attended. Mr. Henderson, who is a scriptu ral encyclopedia in himself, uses in his work the American Church Sunday School Magazine, which is edited and complied by some of the ablest men in the Episco pal church. There is nothing dry or prosy about the lessons as they are presented here, but they are bright, freshening-, instructive and highly entertaining-. I mere ly write this in the interest of those who are not connected with any Sujiday school, and who would no doubt enjoy attending- a Bible class of thekind I know this one to be. Any information de sired by anyone interested will be gladly given by any member of the Brotherhood of St. An drew. L. S. H. ROCKWELL. Sept. 28.
