Mrs. .Elsie Bragg, widow of the late Major General Braxton Bragg, of the Confederacy, who died a few dayB ago, was buried Saturday in "Confederate Rest," at Mobile, Ala., by the remains of her late husband. The Hon. Nicholas Longworth, has been re-nominated for Con gress by the Republicans of the first Ohio district. The British ship Loch Finlas, from Port Pirie, South Australia, for Callao, was wrecked off Foster Island at daylight Sunday morn ing, and 20 of the crew of 24 were' drowned. The other four men were picked up by a passing steamer: The corporation counsel of the District of Columbia has decided in effect that there is no law by which the leper, John R. Early, may be deported back to North Carolina and that it is the duty of the Federal government to take charge of the man. This opinion is practically in accord with that given out by the Assistant Attor ney General of North Carolina a short ihileago. A dispatch from Wrangle, Alas ka, says that 110 out of a total of 137 persons aboard the cannery ship Star of Bengal, were drowned Sunday, 20feh, when the vessel was torn from the hold of protect ing tugs and dashed ashore at Helm Point, at the southeast end of Coronation Island. In the presence of his wife, who had just told him goodbye, inten ding to begin proceedings for di vorce, Francisco Milian, mayor of West Tampa, Fla., committed suicide Wednesday by shooting himself. His wife h id decided to leave him and when she said fare well, Millian replied: "It is best to end everything now," and shot himself. Milian had served eight terms as mayor of West Tampa and enjoyed the respect of all citi zens. He was a Cuban by birth. He Don't Care, tor Money. The Gazette-News has it straight that a well-known North Carolina manufacturer a day or so ago laid a bet of $1,000. putting up the cash, five to one, on the election of Mr. Taft. We do not think that is a good bet, as a bet. From what we can learn the betting odds are on Mr. Tatt, but if there are many wagers being laid we have not heard of them. Ashe ville Gazette-News. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever ; nine cases out? of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Doan's Ointment is the best skin treatment, and the cheapest, because so little is required to cure. It cures piles after years of torture. It cures obsti nate cases of eczema. It cures all skin itching. It cures skin eruptions. It heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra sions without leaving a scar. It cures permanently. Salisbury testimony proves it. T. A. Coughenour, 228 E. Enni's St., Salisbury, N. C, says: "I 'suffered from itching hemorrhoids for a long time and was unable to rid myself of the annoyance though I was constantly , using remedies. A t last Doan's Oint ment was brought to my attention and being impressed wi th the good reports concerning it, I procured a supply from the Salisbury Drug Company. It brought me prompt relief and the con tents of one box effected a complete cure. I have never had a return of my trouble since and most earnestly ad vise others suffering from this" trouble to give Doan's Ointment a trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Just at this season there is but little danger of bites from poison ous snakes., But the woodB may be full of them next summer and it might be well to remember this simple remedy, and give it a trial in case of necessity : Apropos of the many remedies offered for snake bite, etc., in view of the exceeding "sca'cenes" of the genuine old reliable remedy, A- A. Hines was telling The Land mark a few days ago of the kero sene application. While Mr. Hines was visiting at the home of C. M. Summers, in Bethany township, a little child of Mr. Summers was severely stung by a wasp and screamed in agony. The wound was moisten ed with kerosene and the relief was instantaneous. Kerosene as a remedy for stings of insects was something new to Mr. Hines and he expressed sur prise. Thereupon Mr. bummers told him of a case of a child ofNed Lewis. The little one was bitten on the finger by a cop Derhead snake, nossiblv the most 1. r a. poisonous Bnake in this region. The finger was placed in kerosene oil and a physician summoned When the doctor arrived he said the kerosene application was about thQ best that could have been done and there was nothing for him to do. The child suffered no ill effects from the bite of the snake. While the value of kerosene in such cases may be familiar, to many people, it was new to Mr Hines and The Landmark and these instances are passed along for the benefit of others who may not know about it. In case o snake bite-"feave a bottle of kero sene handy and apply externally never mind the booze and al will be well. Statesville Land mark. Married the Chaffeur. Miss Silvey Speer, 18 years old and the prettiest and riches heiress in Atlanta, eloped today with Russell Thomas, her father' chaffeur, and was married by Rev. Dr. Atkinson in the latter's study, only a few blocks from the Speer home. The elopement and marriage took place at 11:30 o'clock this morning, and half an hour later the couple boarded the Southern limited, bound for Washington and other points East. The first the girl's parents knew of the marriage was when a note came from her, saying: "I am Russell's wife, and happy." Miss Speer is worth several hun dred thousand dollars in her own right. She is the only grandchild of the late John Silvey, who ac quired a fortune here, and willed it to the girl. Her parental grandfather is an ex-treasurer of Georgia. Russell Thomas is about 21 years old, and came here a year ago from a county town in Geor gia ie Decame an expert in handling autos, and was employ ed as chaffeur by the Speers, From the first the girl seemed fond of the chaffeur, and he told, some of her friends that a man who could handle an auto like Russell Thomas would maka a good husband. Miss Speer had been sought in marriage by several wealthy men. Wourff Mortgage the Farm. A, farmer on Rural Route 2, Empire, Ga., W. A. Floyd by name, says: "Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured the two worst sores I ever saw: cne on my hand and one on my leg. It is worth more than its weight in gold. I would not be without it if I had to mortgage the farm to get it." Only 25c. at ill drug stores. Report of the condition of The Bank of China Grove, at China Grove, N.

He was thrown violently to the platform and was struck by a piece of casting or a portion of the flying debris. Storekeeper Norman and Walter Page, one of the storehouse force, heard the fare alarm. Each de partment has its own specific alarm in case of fire, and noting that the storehouse alarm was given they ran to the hose reel at the end of the buildiDg and while getting the hose ready for opera tion the whole thiug let loose. The platform was disrupted, the end of the storekeeper blown out and Mr. Norman and Page were thrown down and almost covered with the fragments of timber, castings, etc. Neither were hurt. A com plete list of the casualties, trivial and otherwise can hardly be given, a number received small hurts who have said nothing about it. The damage can hardly be esti mated at this time, but it is safe to say that it will be heavy. It is a most fortunate thing that the explosion did not take place an hour earlier. At that time the shop train, which brings the men to Salisbury would have been standing where the greatest force of theexplosiop seems to have been, and one has to shudder when" he even thinks of the fear ful loss of life which would inevit ably have resulted. There was a great hole in the ground where the powder house had stood, box cars and heavy gondolas standing near were hurl ed away or crushed to pieces. The south end of the storehouse plat form, weighed as it was by heavy casting was born to pieces. The end of the blacksmith shop was blown into kindling wood. The end of the storehouse was jarred out by the concussion. 1 here was a grand mix up in the offices of Mr. Kederly and Mr. Norman and the office furniture was hurled in all directions. Mr. Brandis was in his office at the time with some of his assistants, but none were injured. That the force of the explosion was very great ia evidenced by the fact that almost everv window sash in the adjacent shops, the machine shops, glass in the store windows at Spencer were jarred out by the shock. It is said, that a number of families in the town had their entire stack of dishep smashed to atoms. TT .1 l i nowever tnis may nav6 oeeu, a sight of the ruin and desolation on Friday morning was really appall ing, and an outsider could not but wonder why it was that such a catastrophe had not been accom panied by a much greater loss of life. This is only explainea by the fact that but a comparatively few men were near the scene at the time. The powder house was an sbso utely fire proof structure just eight feet square, and how it cou'd contain a car load of powder, etc , as stated by the Charlotte Obser ver s correspondent, is a mys tery the railroad men have not at tempted to fathom. There was about 75 or 80 pounds of smoke less powder, in cans, in the house, together with a lot of torpedoes and fussees. During the day there had been no requisitions is sued for any of this material and the house had not been opened. It would be impossible for the smallest spark to find its way into the iron structure and, just what caused the fire is not known, though the only tenable theory is that of spontaneous combustion. While under the circumstances it does not seem that there can be any censure attached to any one for the fire and the const quent explosion, some in authority is certainly very culpable in having allowed such a dangerous build ing to be placed right in the heart, almost, of such a hive of human ity and activity, Several hun dred men probably worked every day within a radius of 100 yards of the tpot. Of course, when a new powder house is built it will no doubt be located at some safer spot, but that will not restore the lives lost or the property destroy ed by the explosion on Thursday evening. Jas. T. Gobble, whose serious injury has been noted above, died last Friday night at the sanito rium. The funeral was held Sun day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist chuch in Spencer, the interment being at Union church Shall the Trusts Rule? When the other day, President Eliot, of Harvard, declared that "if the American people mean to maintain their individual liberty in industries, iraaes, commerce and politics, they must steadily defend themselves against mon opolies, whether created and maintained by tariffs, unlimitd franchises or associations of either workmen or capitalists," he gave the country something well worth thinking about. Charlotte Obser ver. Handed Out To Mr. Roosevelt. Let self-respecting Americans of all political faiths UDite in the fervent prayer that the.unexampl ed frenzy or spasm of self-exhibition which ?s now degrading the office of President; of the United States may end before the scandal invites the attention and excites the disgust of the whole civilized world.
