Ia perfect health wi? hanlly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin. intf, the sume nervous system gives the alarm in headache-, tiredness, dreamful Bleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing touic force. It is free from alcohol. Scon & Bowut, liluomfield, N.J. Unprepared is about the worsi that could be said of anything or anybody.

S KEEP YOUR SHOES NEAT LETTER FROM DUNN. Former Pastor of the Weldon M. E. Church Sends In Some News Items from His New Held of Labor. Dunn, N. C. Feb. l I9lti. Having lived in X'eldn longer than we have ever lived in any other town, and having received at the hands of ihe people of Wei don uniform kindness, we are al ways glad lo gel news from that good town. The visits of The News are hailed with delight in the parsonage here in Dunn. I am glad you are giving more space to church news than you did some time tigo, I believe a majority ol your readers will enjoy items of news concerning the movements of the different churches more than almost than any oilier sort of news, Dunn is blessed (?) with a vari ety of churches. No one need stay out of the church because he cannot find a church that suits him. We have the Roman Cath olic, the Holiness, the Free-will Baptist, the Primitive Baptist, the .Missionary Fapiist, the Presbyte rian, the Disciples, and the Meth odist. Most of the church build ings do credit to the denominations thai erected them and worship in them. The Missionary Baptist church and the Methodist church have not been completed on the inside, though both are used lor worship. I believe I have never seen a prettier church building ihan the Methodist church here. One looks in vain for some part of the building that could be im proved on. I should think the Missionary Bapiisi church building cost more than any other church building in the town, and our church next. The Presbyterians have quite a neat church building, located on Lay ton and Cumberland streets, while the Methodist church is located on Laytnn and Divine streets. The parsonage i- situa ted between ihe .Methodist and Presbyterian churches, and is only a few feet from either, there being no other building between them. Our departure from Weldon was not exactly what we might have w ished. For a month I had been sick with grippe, and when the day came for us to start tor our new home, rain was falling and it was cold and disagreeable overhead and under foot. How ever, the trip from Weldon 10 Dunn was quite pleasant, and our recep non here was all that we could have wished. We have already learned to love the people here, but that does not involve the for getting the dear friends of Weldon. Of course the people of eldon are delighted with having the Presid ing Llder and his family in that town and unless I am very much mis taken "Elder Bundy" is delighted with that arrangement, fur he loves Weldon almost as much as 1 do. The good reports that reach me of the favorable impressions made upon the people of Weldon by Brother and Sister Shamburger do not in the least surprise me.it is just what I expected. May they have the most successful year in their ministry ! With love and all good wishes to all the people of Weldon, I am, 1 Sincerely, J. A. Hornadav. I Associate Justice Hughes, j of the Supreme Court, announces that all meniion of his name as a Republican candidate for Presi dent is against his earnest wish. The Republican situation regard ing a presidential candidate is much mixed. Many prominent Repub licans favor the nomination of Roosevelt, while a large number are bitterly opposed to him. Dangers ol Draft. Drafta feel best when we are hot and perspiring, just when they are most dangerous and the result is Neuralgia, .Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes an attack of Rheumatism. In such cases apply loan's Liniment. It stimulates circulation to the sore and painful part. The blood Hows freely and in a short time the stiffness and paiu leaves.

A Keply to Certain Questions Re cently .Asked by the l:nfieK! Progress Editoh Roanokk NlAus . ..istweek'si-sueu! I'm ". contains an "cJiton.i!" implivviv charging liie County Commission ers with withholding hvm lie peo ple the amount ot the salaries p.u.l lo county otficials. The "Editor" is especially interested to know the amount paid the Sheult', Register ot Deeds and the Clerk ol the Court as salary in comparison Willi the amount which they received under the fee system. Had the Editor used a little dil igence, he could have ascertained that the amount ol salary now paid to ihe county otficials was deter mined by the Legislature of 191-?, aud that with t tie exception of the amount (not the number of clerks) paid io the jailor, ihe depmy clerk, the clerks of the Re.: isier ot Deeds and one deptuj sheriff, the County Commissioner have no discretion in the matter, and reference to chapter 2.S7 Pub lic Local Laws 191.? would luve disclosed the amount paid to eaca. In case ot inaccessibility of the aforesaid Act, Hon W. T. Clem ent, who was a member of tr General Assembly ot 1913, au. who w as a supporter of the salai bill, could, and no doubt would, cheerfully h a v e t u r n i s h e d this informaiion, or in case he had forgotten, Mr. S. G. bitfield, who like Mr Clement lives in tin town of Enfield, and who uionthiy audits ttie books of the counts' ol hcnls could have given ihis nifor mation. Your inquiry remind-, the writer ot ihe little school boy who having his book open in his lap at the right place asked his mother how to spell cat. By consulting the Public Loc.il Laws of 191.?, the "Editor" could j have ascertained exactly from what i source ihe salaries are paid and de I ru ed; he could have ascertained from the county treasurer whether . the county was losing money or making money under the salary system; he could have learned I from the Act that all fees collected ! by the county officials under ihe ! salary system are pooled and from ! tins pool the salaries arc paid; he i could have learned from the tre.is- I urer of the county that the pool j has always been sutficient to pay j the salaries of the officers without j drawing on the county fund: he; could have learned from the conn-1 ty treasurer thai counting the i amount alloed under the lee sys- tent io the Sheriff' Sit)0 for hold ing court, to the Register ot Deeds j for preparing the tax lists $750, I and to Dr. A. S. Harrison, former Superintendent of Public lnstrue- j lion, lor an assistant S'iOO. That the county is actually saving from $2,000 to $2,500 per annum, a little further inquiry would have disclosed the fact that the ! Register of Deeds under me , old system had three clerks, all of j whom lie paid, and that under the new system lie has three clerks i only two of whom the eminiy pays ! and the third he pays himself. The Clerk of the Court did nm ! have an assistant under the tec i system, the Superintendent ot Pub lie Instruction does not h.r.c an assistunt under the salary system, and it may not be impertinent to j inquire why it w as necessary tor j ihe former Superintendent ot Pub lic Instruction to have one, but j mis is not very material, the mate rial ilung being that under aud by reasuii ot ihe salary system, the county is actually saving from $2,000 to $2,500 per annum. The Sheriff of the county has only those deputies allowed by law, and ihe duties of a deputy sheriff are the same under a salary system as under a fee system. It may also be instructive to note Mr. Editor that the salary system w as inaugurated in compliance wiih in insistant demand from the very source whicti is now turned criiic. Don't bushwhack, Mr. Editor, if you have any real grievance, or if you know of any mismanage ment, it is your duty to the public as i good citizen to out wiih it, so the blame, if any, can be placed where it belongs and the people may have the opportunity of cor recting it. And "Orion" be mindful of this fact, you called loudly for a pri mary, you got a primary and the people acting under and voting in your primary, elected the present county otficials. and it is not your part to blame the people, if in using their intelligence, ihey are able, without the assistance of your wished for Moses, to distinguish between your wishes and their will. Always be mindful of this fur ther potent fact, that no man gjis a certificate ot election upon a mi nority vole, the certificate of elec tion follows "Vox populi" and not "Ouod velis vocem esse Populi."
