ARE STILL AT LARGE In the early hours of Monday morning, after fair luna had dis appeared overthe western horizon and before old sol cast the first rays of his smiling countenance against the eastern sky, even be fore the cock crew to warn the farmer that daylight was creep ing over the oriental hills, there was "doing about'' over in the Randolph county convict camp located at or near Parks X Roads. Four convicts, all white, becom ing weary of their close quarters, shackels, bed and board, decided to throw up their jobs without going through the formality of presenting their card of resigna tion and asking leave of the 'governor" of the gang. So taking advantage of the guard while he slumbered and slept, they arose from their downy beds and finding a way of egress, de parted to more healthful climes. Of course it was inconsiderate of them to take advantage of the poor guard while he slept. Dick Boling, Pres. Williams, Jor don all serving terms of various lengths for unlawfully making and selling the ardent spirits were among those who shook the dust of the camp from their feet. Certainly there was consterna tion in the camp when those in authority learned that they were "short" on hands. They telephon ed all over the county warning officers and laymen, to look out for people - wearing stripes, but up to the time of going to press the boys are still at large. It is said that Pres. Williams went home and probably the oth ers did likewise. Gores Chicken Yarn. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, is given credit for this story, told on a recent visit to a Methodise convention at St. Joseph. It is related by Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of the Baptist church of Pleasant Hill, who. happened to hear it. According to Senator Gore, there was an accomplished hen with a brood of chickens five roosters and five pullets. The chicks matured and went their various ways, while the mother hen busied herself with a new brood. In course of time metho dist ministers came in the vicinity of Chickenville to hold a confer ence, and as might be suspected the five young roosters, fat, yellow-legged and extremely tender were feasted upon by various and sundry preachers. The young pullets left behind, were met by the mother hen a day or so later. "My children, "she asked, "where are your brothers?" "They have entered the minis try." Bracing herself for the shock of disclosure, a look of resigna tion spread over Biddy's counte nance as she replied: "Well my dears, perhaps it is all for the best. They would not have made very good lay mem bers anyway." Pleasant Hill (Mo.) dispatch in Kansas City Star. Dr. W. J. Moore and E. H. Moffitt left Wednesday for New York. Resolutions of Rsspect. Whereas, God in his allwise and infinite wisdom has seen fit to remove from our midst our be loved brother J. S. Cox, who was a member of Deep River Lodge No. 164, A. P. & A. M. , Coleridge, Randolph county, N. C. Therefore be it resolved by the members of this fraternal order: 1st, That we bow in humble submission to him who doeth all thing well. 2nd, That in the death of our brother the institution has lost one of its most worthy and de voted members, whose interest was always made manifest by his presence at the Lodge, his acts of kindness and his deeds of charity. 3rd, That we deeply deplore the loss sustained by his family and the community in which he lived. 4th, That it becomes us tabow with reverence and humility to this dispensation of Providence, and say, "Thy will be done. " . 5th, That we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of sad be reavement. 6th , That a copy of these reso lutions be spread on the minutes of our Lodge record, a copy sent to the family of our deceased brother, and a copy sent to each of the county papers for publica tion. Fraternally, Thomas Davis, J. M. Caviness, M. Claude Yow, Committee. A Distilery Captured. Sheriff C. H. Hsynes, who has already made a reputation for still smashing, is determined that not a drop of the "ardent" shall be made in this county if he can prevent it, and he has another capture to his credit. On last Friday night he and Deputy Sheriff Oscar Monday, who also has a good nose for a still, pro ceeded to Westfield township where they caught Riley King, very colored, and an old offender in the very act of making a doub ling for family use. Rileys cut fit was complete with thirty gal lon still, cap and worm and while he disclaimed any intention of violating the law and was simply bilin' cider to make it keep," a keg of singlings near at hand gave the game away. The old negro who is seventy years old, was brougt to this city for a hearing before a magistrate on Saturday, but for some reason the. trial was postponed until the next Monday. Sunday ' 'Uncle Riley" decided that he wanted to spend the day with people in Westfield, and like all others who so desire escaped from the city prison, and,' like the proverbial cat "never came back. " The sheriff, the court and the public patiently await Riley's re turn but the more skeptical be lieve that Riley will never appear before a tribunal of justice t o test the workings of the new prohibition law. Mt Airy Lea der. ATTENTION. Shall we have better roads? Shall each township work its own roads? Shall each township spend its own road money? Shall the present road force be abolished? Shall the convicts be hired to the townships? These are questions to be deci ded by the county commissioners on the first Monday in October. Come to Asheboro that day and work for good roads. ELL WHILE PLOWING, Call Came Suddenly to Alien Scoff A Prosperous Farmer of Gra.! Township. WAS P60M1NET IN HIS COMMUNITY. While plowing in the field near his residence in Grant township late Wednesday after noon, Sept. 22, Allen Scott, was summoned instantly into the great beyond. Up to the moment of his death, Mr. Scott appeared to be in his usual good health and followed his daily avocation on the farm. On the fatal day he and his son were breaking ground for wheat, both plowing around the same "land". His son hearing him call to his horse to stop and looking in that direc tion noticed his father sit down in an unnatural way and rushing to him found he was breathing his last breath, being already unconscious. Mr. Scott was turning into his 76th, year. He was a man of sterling character, honest, frugal, industrious, a good neighbor, a good citizen and his neighborhood is better by his having spent so many years of his life there. His death will be keenly felt by his family and friends. The re mains were laid to rest in the Panther creek grave yard near his home. A large concourse of neighbors, friends and rela tives following to the last rest ing place. ' -X. President Kilgo on Extravagance. Addressing the students at the opening of Trinity College re cently, President Kilgo made the following timely remarks: "It's not the new tariff; it's not the trusts, but the extrava gance of the people of our age. Even the boot blacks have go- it, the drayman and the . washer woman, too. Something has got to be done to stop it. Why when I was a boy I went to see a girl. She loved and I loved, and we both loved on less than $5 a week. Now you college boys think it a disgrace if you can't take her $5 worth of flow ers every visit! And a great number of the girls have on 25 dollar suits that are charged to them. Now, when I was a college boy I went to school with a pair of brogahs. But hear me; I was at the depot this morning and watched a gang of negroes mov ing rails and each one had on a pair of patent leathers Now I'll venture to say that there's not a boy in this chapel with a pair of brogans on. There's one thing the extravagance at Trinity has get to stop and that right now. Night on Bald Mountain. On a lonely night Alex. Ben ton of Fort Edward, N.' Y., climbed Bald Mountain to the home of a neighbor, tortured by Asthma, bent on curing- him with Dr. King's New Discovery, that had cured himself of Asthma This wonderful m.-dicine soon re lieved and quickly cured his neighbor. Later it cured his son's wife of a severe lung trou ble. Millions believe its the greatest Throat and Lung cure on Earth. Coughs, Colds, Croup, Hemorrages and Sore Lungs are surly cured by it. Best for Hay Fever, Grip and Whooping Cough 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by Asheboro Drug Co. I otows Must ray ud Carnivals, theatrical perform ers and similar shows of a cheap variety make it a business to give performances under a contract with some local concern, giving part of the proceeds to a local ob ject, and it is always a part of ths contract, of course that the show is to escape the payment of taxes. The arrangement is all ways for the benefit of the show. Attorney General Bickett has rul ed that under such an arrange ment the performance cannot be exempt from taxes; that the sta tute which exempts from taxes performances "given for the sole benefit 'of religious, charitable cr educational objects," means in his opinion, that the peformers receive no pecuniary compensa tion. If regular professionalper formers are hired to perform for the henefit of "religious, charita ble cr educational objects" the show is liable for taxes. Good for Bickett! The opinion in question was with reference to a carnival company. We hope it will also include professionals who go about and train amateurs for performances for the alleged benefit of some local object. The professionals of this class secure everything free and scoop the lion's share of the proceeds. Us ually they are the worst sort of grafters. Statesville Landmark. The Sea Powers of the World. Three flags hold the world's sea power. This is the first great lesson yesterday's marine page ant teaches. Japan has a powerful navy, but in size, in numbers and in sea power it is not in the same class with those of England, the Unit ed States and Germany. When, seventeen yesrs ago, in 1893, there was a naval display in New York harbor, there were five or six navies close together, Eng land overtopping the rest, and a dozen small navies. The small navies are gone. The lesser navies are shrunken. This great fleet dominates the seven I oceans and England's no .linger so far to the front. Germany and the United States ar.j neck and neck, ours ahead now. Germany in 1915, if we do not build. If these three Powers would agree on peace the world would have peace. England and the United States would join in re stricting armaments enforcing The Hague's decisions and out lawing sea war. Refusal is a heavy responsibili ty for the Kaiser, but it is much for the world's peace that the world's sea power is today held by three Powers, not far apart and drawing nearer.

Yer, when is a girl not a girl?" I say unto thee when the beau ty specialists shall have lost their cunning, when the corsetiers shall have been wiped out, when men shall be old maids among us once again! For behold it hath come to pass that a man is as he looks but a woman is as old as she acts I And she is passed not when she ceassth ti interest her Lo! who is so fascinating as a woman of forty, that hath kept her figure? For she is like unto stain glass, through which no man can see. Yea, she is mys terious. She hath many solid at traction even pois i and a past and a good income. Verily a baby! face and the ways of a kitten ; shall ft fed the flame of love, but! it requireth money to feed the; furnace. Go to! Marriage is no .Lnger 3 pastime but a business arrange ment for mutual advantage ami every man seeketh to get all tl e advantage And he th it wed deth a debutante acquiretha bur den, but he weddeth a settled woman acquireth an asset. Moreover, the woman of forty knoweth how to make a husband comfortable. She rgaleth him from the flesh-pots and doth hoi interfere with his amusements. She accepteth meekly the crumbs) of his attentions and the scraps of his time. She is not jealous; she doth not a-k questions. She is unto th in e.;. an Hitter maiden as old wine unto ice cream soJa. Then kt trie widows rob li.'e cradle and the bnc'-iel r g r! cult -vat-? her kindergarten Fr a m-. liveth twice as fast as a woman, and a middle aged man is an abomination. Lo! his emotions have been worn into a frazzle and heart is dried up. - His sentiments are moth-eaten and his love mak ing hath become a mechanical habit. Verily, verily it hath come to pass that when December wed deth May it is the woman who is December and the man who is May! For time hath turned a somersault, and the "golden age" of woman is middle age. Selah. Fork Creek. Farmers are busy preparing to sow wheat. Miss Ella McLeod is visiting her brother John McLeod. H. H.

The Kidneys are the most important organs in the body : they do the most work and as a consequence get out of order quickest. You cannot run a great piece cf machinery without attention of some kind. Neither can you expect to have good health if you fair to look after your Kid ney Machinery. The blood passes through the Kidneys thousands of times a day, as often as through the heart, and this is going on every minute of our lives. If the Kidneys are well they filter just so much blood, but if they are sick or weak from any cause they leave the poison in the blood, and this poison poisons the entire system. When you consider their great work and the ease with which i they become deranged, can ycu wonder at ill-health, and sick ness? .
