Away back before the Fall and Winter Markets were flooded with buyers and before the prices began to climb up, Epstein went to the Northern Markets, and while the cream of the real bargains were untouch ed and before the prices began to soar, he purchased one of the finest as sortments of Merchandise that has ever been brought to Laurinbiirg. We had the chance to pick, and of course we picked the greatest valu-s we could find. Since then the prices on the same goods have gone up by leaps and bounds. We bought when folks were expecting six cent cotton and when it went to 11 and 12 cents, of course the prices on such goods as we bought began to soar. It didn't catch us because we had our contracts made. All that we are asking, or expect to ask, is just an EPSTEIN PROFIT, which is a SMALL ONE, and this is your invitation to come to this store and get the benefits we have for you in fine Merchandise at SIX1 CENT COTTON PRICES. We specially invite you to look through our department devoted to LADIES' COAT SUITS. OUR BOYS' CLOTHING is a revalation. Great Big Line Knee Suits. Something for all, from the Kiddie 3 years old to the Youngster 18. The store is filled with the choicest articles of everything needed by every member of the whole family. ' . An early visit will pay you handsomely. 3 ,i JO 4MM 2 I Stores 38 I SEE Epstein's Department Store The Home Of Big Values. Laurinburg, North Carolina. 2 Stores In 1 THE EXCHANGE J. . V! ; ;1NS.

According to statistics, it is said j that there are in the State of North Carolina 13,000 g'rown persons who j can neither read nor write, that is i history written this month not later than Tuesday morning of each week. Teachers of these schools will do us a kindness by observing this rule and making application for as many copies as will be needed at the time mentioned. The movement is full of enthusiasm and is one that the State will find a rich reward in because it means prog ress and enlightment, it means deliv erance from ignorance, the one thing that has been a great weight and a : great drawback to the State.

Carolina to such a point that a de termined effort is being made through out the State this month to lift this burden of ignorance that so shames us. The 132,000 persons who are not able to read and write are not so much to blame as the State of North Carolina. A great many of them owe their ignorance to the fact that North Carolina has not offered a sufficient opportunity to them in the way of schools to keep them from growing up in this mentally deformed condi tion. The State has realized its duty, and the educational MACHINIST VANQUISHES ENEMIES AFTER LONG STRUGGLE. HIS :,Ir. W. T. Urown Tells How He Was Finally Saved "Gains 14 Pounds In Four Weeks."

A tired, overworked stomach Vuid kidneys produced by too hastily eat en food, and other faulty methods of living, can cause an endless amount of ailment, among them being liver complaint, kidney trouble, catarrhal afflictions, dyspepsia, nervous break down, lost ambition, blood troubles, and even rheumatism. People so af fected, and there are thousands of them in all cities like Charlotte, are loggy and nervous and easily tired. They are worn out after a little exer tion and are moody and depressed. These are sure symptoms of your overworked vital organs, which needs cleansing out and regulating. We have a medicine, Tanlac, that does that very thing. Tanlac . is called the 'Master Medicine,' because it masters most of the ailments and diseases when oth ers fail."

Drum, who is personally conducting the sale of Tanlac in Char lotte at the Jordan Drug Company, where he and his assistants are ex plaining the new remedy, said, when Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 31. In a speech for prohibition at a mass meet ing today, William Jennings Bryan told an audience not to pity him for his "unsuccessful political career." "Sometimes my friends have ex pressed their sympathy to me because of what they termed the successful ness of my political career," said Bryan. "Why, they shouldn't do that. Since I've been in politics reforms have been accomplished without the loss of a single life that would have cost thousands of lives in sacrifice 200 years ago. "Pity me! Don't, do it. If I had lived two centuries ago and advocated what I do now I would have been hanged. No one has accomplished any great reform without being abused and ostracized at first. But when a man believes he is in the right he must speak out." Iowa personals: "Miss Sadie Mul len, the new schoolteacher, lives with Will Holtman." We're gona tell your n TTT'll wne, will.

Let a man invest his millions trying to help build up; let him lavish his money and there is al ways some fellow yith hardly . a change of shirts to commence to talk about him. Everything. The only question to be decided in this case is whether Mr. Ryan has paid the taxes on his property due i the State of Virginia and the county in which his holdings are located. The Virginia authorities find that he has not and it is up to him to show that the authorities are wrong. The mon ey he has spent in Virginia has noth ing to do with it. He should pay tax es on his holdings there, just as the common citizen has to pay taxes on what he owns. If he has not done that he is a tax-dodger and ought to be ashamed of himself. It is a favor ite trick of wealthy individuals and corporations to point to what thev have dane, the money they have spent for development and the amount of taxes they pay, as if that was an ex cuse for evading taxes. The tax books of Guilford county will show as Col. Fairbrother can find by examining them just as the books show in Ire dell and about every other county in the State, that the man of wealth does not pay as much tax in proportion to his holdings as the small property owner. The public service corpora tions in this State as a rule are taxed up to the limit, but wealthy individ auls and private corporations are the tax-dodgers as a rule. This is not an attack on wealth. It is a simple demand that wealth should pay in proportion, to what it has, which it does not do, as a rule, under present conditions. This case is dis missed and the plaintiff, Fairbrother, is taxed with the costs. Statesville Landmark. THE HAMLET HOSPITAL DK. W. D. JAMES. Sunreoa in charae j Hamlet, N.
