Local and Personal. ; Mr. H. W. Keufifner spent last Friday at GreensboroOn business we suppose. j.-. . ', . . : J--- Mr. W. A. Blaylock, of Gra ham, was here the latter part of last week on business. Rev. J A. Hackney spent Sat urday and Sunday at vHillsboro where he preached to the Baptists of that place. , 1 Mr. O. D. Flaherty spent the first of the week at Elon College as sisting Mr. Huffman in starting the roller mill at that place. Messrs. J." Mc, A. G. and N". C. Garrison were some of our R. F. D. patrons who sold tobacco here last week and were well pleased with prices received. Mr. C. M. Dodson, of the Burl ington Roller Mills says that he would like for the gentleman who borrowed his watch from his vest pocket at the mill last week, to re turn it. Mr. Joseph Huffman has sold his mill property south of Greensboro,, and has recently purchased the Elon College Roller Mill, and will in the future conduct the mill in a first class manner and will be glad to have the patronage of the former customers as well as that of new ones. Mr. Huffman has had. con siderable experience in the ni'lling business and knows the demands of the people. Men Have But Little Show. Poor mortal man stands but a slim show to escape the guardian ship of his dear wife in this pro gressive age. If we talk of going to see a friend on business she scites us to the 'phone; if we chance to forget and talk of going to the post office she informs us that our mail is in the box just outside the door; if the flour gives out and we talk of going to the mill she apprises us of the fact that millers deliver flour on short notice these days; and if we should get three peck3 of eggs every day there is two or three hustling Hucksters passing by the house every day getting chickens, butter, and eggs, so you see we don't get a a chance to take one to the grocery. Why if a fellow was breathing his last tor a nip or two oi tne pure oin time happy go-long he'd just have to exclaim with the poet (here now I give myself away, 'tis all that I can do) turn up his toes and pass over the river. Gee, those fellows who lived their time before the world got a hum, hit the nail plumb on the head. Crockett. Nobody Spared. Kidney Troubles Attack Burlington Men and Women, Old andv Young. Kidney ills seize young and old. Come quickly with little warning. Children suffer in their early years i Can't control the kidney secre tions. Girls are languid, nervous, suffer pain. Women worry, can't do daily work. Men have lame and aching backs. The cure for man, woman, or child. It is to cure the cause the kid neys. Doan's Kidney Pills v cure sick kidneys Dure all forms of kidney suffer ing. Burlington testimony proves it. Mrs. Lillie Loy, living on Dixie St., Burlington, N. C, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills without hesitancy as I know them to be a reliable remedy for kidney complaint and backache. My daughter" suffered from weak Sidneys for several vears, so severe J.v at times that she was hardly able to get about. Hearing of the good rt"uits obtained from the use of Doan's Pills T procured -a box for ''er at the Freeman Drug Co. She 'fgan their use, and in a short time obtained relief. I think that a short continued use of the remedy will entirely banish her trouble." ' t or sale by all dealers. Price ;ifts.

' v . v Under the caption, "Pure Scoun drelism in Tennessee," The Louis ville Courier- Journal has one of the most lurid and remarkable editorials that ever appealed in a newspaper. It shows on . its face that it was written by Mr. Watterson himself and as a specimen of infective is worthy of reproduction: Unmitigated villainy is the only adequate description of - the anoma lous conditions prevailing in Tenn essee. The union of the proscrip tive preacher withv the - self-seeking politician to obtain power under the temperance plea recalls the days of Cotton Mather, not the days of Andrew Jackson. Men who are so ready to confiscate their neighbor's property would not hesitate to burn that neighbor at the stake. "The success of the combine be tween the scoundrels who call them selves Democrats and the slick Re publicans who are ripe for any deed of shame promising party advantage, will not in the last abate the use of intoxicants; it will not remotely serve the cause of Good and moral ity'; but, on the contrary, it will convert a communitv of free men into a community of slaves; it will displace from the public spirit honesty and establish dishonesty; it will promote adulteration and ex tortion; it will introduce the spy system as an arm of government and permeate and corrupt every artery of the body-politic. In short, the rogues who work it will make Tennessee what Maine has been for nearly sixty years what Georgia and Alabama are fast becoming the shrime of fanaticism and fraud, the fortress of bigotry and outlawry, the home of the smuggler aud the fence of the thief. "We reproduce from Harper's Weekly elsewhere in this issue of The Courier-Journal a very interest ing and illuminative history of the practical working of prohibition in the State of Maine. "No one can read this without abhorrence mingled with disgust. Between rebel-baiting and psalm singing the Devil's own, aided by the political preachers of Maine, have done a laud-offiee business. The result is rare showing of relig ion in politics. As long as. the clericals shrieked, 'Down with rum,' and shut their eves to the sale of it, Republican majorities mounted to the hundred thousand mark. 'Rutn, Romanism and Rebellion' were the three counts of the Republican in dictment of the Democracy and the isouth. Hatred of the Southern people was the animating speak. Graft was the moving principle. But, with the appearance of a Gov ernor who took prohibition serious ly, there came a change. Enforce ment reduced the Republican ma jority to less than ten thousand. Now, the enforcement acts are to be repealed, God and Morality luust loosen up a bit,, the canting, perse cuting, long-haired, diabolical prea chers in politics are to sing louder and pray linger that the traitors of Democracy and .the South may be doably hanged and trebly damned, whilst the smuggler and" the adul terator and the extortionist look to it that the Grand Old Party of the Bloody Shirt may aegrin its lost ground " and recover its normal strength at the ballot-box. "Yet, in the face of such things, there are rascals, fools and liars who dare to say that a man may be a Prohibitionist ana remain a Democrat!" Mr. Watterson is too severe. The prohibitionists of Tennessee, clerical and lay, are trading on the blood of Carmack, it is true, and political personal perfidy are practiced and applauded in the name of morality ; platform pledges and campaign promises are kicked out of the door on the Jesuitical ground that the end justifies the means and the State has never before fallen so lotf in the scale of integrity and honor. But those conditions may be described, as may those in Maine, without re sort to the extreme language which our honorable friend and contem porary employs. As for the con cluding, paragraph, it, like other sentences in this editorial, is quite too broad. While it does not assert that those who'say that a man may be a Prohibitionist and remain a Democrat" are "rascals, fools and liars," such deduction might be drawn by carpers from this language and such an imputation would be unjust and unpardonable, for many sincere and honest men really be lieve this very thing. It will son be 'moving day at SHEIltf Ell B CdPICTEDS FIVE-MONTHS SENTENCE Lexington ' Man Found Guilty by Guilford Jury of Assault With Deadly, Weapon on Con doctor W.B.Smith- ' . " ers. V: Greensboro, Feb24' In Super ior Court this afternoon Judge Long imposed a sentence of five, months in jail on Mr. Baxter ' She no well, of Lexington, who had been found guilty of an assault with- a deadly weapon on Capt. W. B. Smithers, a Southern Railway conductor, last J uly. It will be remembered that Shemwell forced Conductor Smith ers to stop southbound train No. 37 for him at Lexington one morning about six months ago, that station not being a regular stopping place for the train. When the case was called for sen tence this afternoon, Judge W. P. Bynum, Jr., made a motion for a new trial, basing the motion on the demonstration made against the de fendant at the conclusion of Solici tor Fuller's speech to the jury. At the end of an able and eloquent speech, made before a packed court room, Solicitor Fuller was greeted with a spontaneous outburst of ap plause, and Judge 'Bynum' argued that this might have influenced the jury in reaching a verdict. Inas much as Judge Long had rebuked the crowd for the applause and giv en a severe reprimand in the pres ence of the jury, the court declined to entertain the motion for a new trial. APPEAL TO HIGHER COURL Counsel gave notice of an. appeal to the Supreme Court, Mr. Shem well's bond being fixed at $1,500. Night On Bald Mountain On a lonely night Alex. Benton, of Fort Edward, N. Y., climbed Bald Mountain to the home of a neighbor, tortured by Asthma; bent on curing Mai witn JJr. icings New Discovery, that had cured himself of asthma.

Charlotte Observer. Great interest naturally attaches to the evidently authentic report that Mr. Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tennessee, is to become Secretary of War in President Taffs cabinet. He is a native of Mississippi, is fifty-eight years old, and is general counsel of the Illinois Central Rail road with headquarters in Chicago, though Nashville is his home. He is of finished education, a part of whih was acquired in Leipzig and Paris?; has served by special com mission on the bench of the Su preme Court of Tennessee and was Assistant Attorney General of the United States in Cleveland's second administration. Mr. Dickinson is a Democrat but not of the . Bryan variety. Though not a national figure he is unquestionably a great lawyer and will adorn the cabinet. R. A. Ballinger, of Seattle, Wash., who is supposed to be slated for Secretary of the' Interior, is a native of Iowa and is in his fifty first year. He is a graduate of Williams College, Mass., a lawyer and author. Charles Nagie, of St. Louis, who is to be Secretary of Commerce and Labor, is a lawyer, is in his sixtieth year and a native of Texas. He has served in ihe . Missouri Legislature and has been a member of the facul ty of the St. Louis Law School since 1886. - : Though after the announcement of Mr. Taft of the selection of Mr. Hitchcock for Postmaster General and Senator Knox for Secretary- of State he said that he would give out no further cabinet appointments until the 4th of March, the public, thanks to the smart newspaper men, practically knows now who will constitute hisofBcial family except--ing the- Secretary of the .Treasury, whom he has not yet 'chosen. : ; .'
