DUNN, Harnett County, N. C. DUNN, N. C., July 2, 1902. Edward VII was to have been crowned King of Creat Britain last Thursday in Lon don ; but was taken very ill on the eve of his csronation. For some days it seemed that the King would die and never real ize his ambition to be crowned. Avery skillful operation • was performed, after great suspence on the part of his countrymen the glad news of his convales cence was given to the public. The officials announce that they will be able in a few days to again set the day tor this glori ous event. In the event ot Edward VII death his oldest son, George, Prince of Wales, will succeed him. This young man has already caught the eye of his countrymen by his manly walk anil high ideals .of statesmanship. —~ The Democratic Judicial con vention for the oth Judicial district of North Carolina, meets in Smithfield on July 3rd at 2 o'clock p. m.

Bomb the _y) The Kind You Have Always Bought *s™ Trip to The Mountains. It has been our pleasure since the last issue to attend the North Carolina Press Associ ation at Hendersonville, N. C M in "The Land of the Sky." We would be glad to give our readers a description of Heu dersonville and Asheville and the scenery, but words are in adequate, Only one who has visited the western part of our State can even imagine the grandeur of the mountain scen ery. That Hendersonville was the place for the Association was clearly shown by those who at tended. All left feeling better for having visited this beautiful city in the mountains. After the Wednesday morn ing session the citizens of the town tendered the members of the Association a drive to Mount Hebron, several thou sand feet above the city, so that they might get a better view of the surrounding country. It is a distance of five miles through the mountains over what is known as the "Jones Road." Fie labored 50 years so that peo ple might drive to the top of this mountain. Upon this hp built a tower and placed there a telescope so that visitors may get a better view of the country. He selected his place of burial long before his death by the side of this road and had the fol lowing inscription carved upon his tombstone that visitors might know by whose labors this road was engineered through these mountains. It reads: "Here lies Solomon Jones, the road maker, a true patriot. He labored 52 years to leave the world better than he found it. Horn March 7th. 1802, died April 23rd, 1899." This drive was one of the most enjoyable features of the trip. It reminded us more of a big picnic than anything else. Upon return we were tendered a German at the Imperial Hotel that was highly enjoyed by the members. On the following day we were given a ride over the gty on the street car line owned by Maj. Pickens, one of Hender sonville's oldest and most be loved citizens. The car being run by "Kit and Heck" power, (two mules.) On Thursday night the Asso ciation was given a delightful banquet at the Wheeler Hotel. A supper fit for a King was served in elegant style and for two hours the Press members feasted as they had never before in their lives. The citizens of Henderson ville will ever have a tender spot in our hearts, for no more hospitable people ever lived. Nothing was left undone that would add to the pleasure of the visitors. Not only was this trip oue of pleasure but the Press" Associ tion had one of the most harmo nious and profitable meetings that it has had for years ; trans acting a great deal of business that was of interest to newspa per men of the State. The place for the next meeting has not yet been selected. It was our pleasure also to stop at the beautiful city of Asheville oil our return and spend a day there among the hills. Those of our people who have never had the pleasure .of visiting this part of the State can't imagine what they have missed. It is one of the cheapest trips that a man can take and by far they have the grandest scenery in the world. Subscribe for THEBANNER. WOMEN AND JEWELS. Jewels, candy, flowers, man that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman.

The Board of Education will meet in regular session Monday July 14th. Tliis will be an in. teresting and important meet, iug, because it will be the first meeting of the new school year. It is highly important that committeemen get everything in readiness in their respective (districts. If it is absolutely nec essary that certain changes be made as to the boundary of your district or location of school house, or the transferr ing of certain families from one district to another, or any other changes wherein the children will be benefitted, must be brought -before the Board of Education at the July meetiug. But in nowise will any of the above changes be allowed un less a map of the proposed change in district lines or change school house sites, to gether with satisfactory evi dence of the patrons, represent ing a majority of the children of school age. Patrons and committeemen will remember that the Board of Education are sworn officers to carry, out the mandates of the law. The law requires the School Committee to keep a book in which shall be kept an itemized account of all moneys apportioned, received and ex pended by them for each school and a copy of all contracts made by them with teachers. Committeemen be prepared to show your record if you should be called upon. What would happen if public school officers and teachers should put forth as much elfort for the attainment of an educational revival as politicians show in the contest over the various elections? The Democrats move Heaven and earth to elect their candi dates, and the Republicans do the same. Mouey is plenty in doubtful districis and speeches in any quantities an d lengths can be had for the ask ing. What is all this for? The tariff, personal fitness, and in the end the prosperity of our country. But vChat is under neath all our national life? Ed ucation, and nothing else. Someone will say, No ; it is re ligion and morality. But re ligion and morality without in telligence would be like ships without oceans, or a physical universe without an all-power ful central force. No political issue should be more interest ing than an educational issue, and there is no good reason why we should not have educa tional campaigns fought with a« much vigor as a political cam paign. Friends of education we are not aggressive enough. I It is time for us to be up and doing. I will have something to say next week about the teacher who thinks, yea, knows he can teach and often com pares his school to a work shop. BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nour ish a particular part of the body but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food mtfy be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dys pepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flow er, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel bouyant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Hood & Grantham.

Some years ago an erratic minister " travelled through Georgia preaching the destruct ion of the world on the eighth day of October of that year. Finding that he white people only him, he turned to pre ailing to the negroes, so working upon their credulous emotions that nearly a hundred of them prepared to go to glory iif a body on the night of the eighth of October. Having ap pointed an old negro named Cyrus Scott to teach them, the necssary repentance,the preach er moved on ti warn others*. Now, Cyrus was very familiar with the failings of his flock, and he frankly prophesied that nothing but eternal condemna tion awated them on the fatal night, now fast approaching By preaching wrath to come he had his congegatiou hysterical when the night of the eighth of October arrived. Clad in white cotton robes, they took up their position 011 the top of a grassy noll, and waited for the heav ens to open. All about them .waved the tall broom sedge, dry as tinder.-Here they waited untill midnight, moauing-and sobbing, but 110 judgment began. One o,clock, and the skies were still dark. Worn by toil and spent by their emotions they fell fast asleep in the soft grass. Even Cyrus slept. Then it was that some white boys set fire to the grass in a circle all about the knoll. The flames came up to the hill with a roar that suddenly awakened the sleeping Cyrus. lie sprang to his feet, bewildered. All around him flames crackled up. The night was bright with the glare of the fire. Cyrus waved his amies wildly. "What did 1 tell you! What did I tell you !" he yelled. "The Judgement I)ay,s done cotne Here we are ! Plump in the middle of the l'it."—Lippiu cott,s Magazine. Pulxouing ille.SjMieui. It is through the bowels that the body is cleansed of impur ities. Constipation keeps these poisons in the system, causing headache, dulness and melan cholia at first, then unsightly eruptions and finally serious illness unless a remedy is ap plied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and pro mote easy, healthy action of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently but by strengthening the bowels enable them to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. Hood & Grantham. Lincoln s Dispatches. Surprise is often expressed by very intelligent people that so large a proportion of President Lincoln's most important tele grams and some of his letters are dated from the war depart ment instead of the executive mansion and none of them from the navy, treasury or other ad ministrative bureaus. This is generally deemed a very singu lar fact, and from it writers have plausibly drawn the con clusion that Lincoln personally liked the secretary of war bet ter than any of the other cabi net officers. While this indeed appears to have been true, it does not necessarily so follow, lie certainly held Mr. Seward !in high regard, yet he seldom went to the slave department. In the circumstances it was not at all singular. The expla nation is eay. War was the business of that time, and Lin coln's eyes were always beut to the army, especially when great military events were impending He habitually haunted the ad jacent war department and ar my headquarters, where abode General Halleck, his military adviser, for news and views. Head and heart -were strenously concentrated on the fight, wher ever it might be. His fertile brain saw, too, the critical points in the game oftentimes far more clearly than some of his so called "ablest generals.'* He not only wished to know what was going on in the field, but performed his own part no bly.- In the heat of action or at critical moments his orders? suggestions and inquiries were fired off spontaneously fro 111 wherever lie might be at the moment, and at such periods he was generally "over at the war department" with Mr. Stanton. That is the chief reason why so many of his dispatches are dat ed at that department and not because he perhaps held Stant on in higher esteem than the secretary of the navv or state or treasury.—Lippincott's Maga zine. !
