V iKad for 3Iany Year. 5fan lsearn 3Iother U Alive. j A special from Wax haw. Union County, to Tuesday's Charlotte Ob j server says: "Mr. Ralph Carraway was a happy young man last evening, when he boarded the train In Waxhaw, to go as fast as it would take him to sea his mother, whom he had not seen since childhood, and whom he never expected to see again. The life-story of young Carraway reads like a ro mance. "In 1902, Italph Carraway and his sister, when they both were small, were put in the orphanage at Char lotte. They had no remembrance of their father, who had died some years before. The boy had not been in the orphanage long before he ran away, and drifted about, finally set tling with Mr. A. A. Haigler, of Wax haw. For the past ten years he has made his home with Mr. Haigler, working with him day by day in the blacksmith shop, and was looked on as almost one of the family. "Italph Carraway had often said if his mother was alive, he did not know it. He had not heard a word from her or about her, for ten years, and it was his belief that she was dead. "The little sister, who was with him in the orphanage, now a grown young lady, he learns, is alive, and she and the old mother live together at Gum Neck. "Young Carraway appears to be about 21 or 22 years old. He is in dustrious, honest, kind and will be much missed in the honest smithy's home, as well at the old Waxhaw blacksmith shop, where for these many years he has been at the flam ing forge and has made the anvil ring."

Humphrey, who mys teriously disappeared from his home near Tolarsville, this county, on the morning of the 6th, is still missing nothing having been seen or heard of him since that day, and his fam ily is naturally greatly distressed. Mr. Humphrey is about fifty years old and has a wife and two children. If anyone can give information as to his whereabouts it will be appreciat ed If they will write George F. or Stinson Humphrey, at St. Paul, N. C, or "phone 2205. Mr. Humphrey is a brother of Mr. H. B. Humphrey of this place." SOME INFORMATION WANTED. Will the Democratic Kick Out of the Traces Because Judge Clark Favors Pensions for Confederate Soldiers? A correspondent of the Clinton News-Dispatch wants some informa tion on a timely topic. We quote a portion of the correspondence: "I see it announced that Judge Clark says he is in favor of pension ing the old Confederate soldier by the United States. Now I wonder if he will be called a traitor to his coun try. I expect that the donkey will get up on his hind feet and bray so loud the stars will almost fall. Lis- ten and see if you can hear him. "Judge Clark seems to think that the South has as much right to a part in the pension grab as a part in the public building and waterways grab, to say nothing of Congressional sal aries, mileage steal and all, and I think he is right, and I thought so when the Hon. Marion Butler tried to do just what Judge Clark says he is in favor of. What are the little fellows who cussed Butler so loud going to do to Clark? I want some one to tell me." Ten Thousand Men in Line With Bibles. Charlotte Observer. Last Sunday ten thousand men, each man with a Bible in his hands, marched through the streets of San Francisco headed by a military band of thirty pieces and escorted by a squad of mounted policemen. Gypsy Smith, the evangelists, and Henry J. McCoy, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., marched at the head of the imposing column. There was never such a spectacle witnessed in San Francisco before; a place not given to religious demonstrations, and it must have Im pressed the thousands of people who looked on with the sincerity of the sentiment inspiring this great parade and the convictions of the ten thou sand men taking part in it. Every year in Richmond there is a parade through the streets of that city of the men belonging to the Bible classes in the city Sunday schools there. Last year six thou sand men on a beautiful Sunday af ternoon joined in this procession. There was no sound of mortal. music only a banner here and there; no voice of command," simply the shuffle of the feet as the great parade moved through Franklin Street to the City Auditorium. i , General Netfs. mr v" - rcssive IlepabHcaa. has announced lis candidacy for the lUpabUcan j Senator Cummins, of Iowa, pro- 'residential nomination An exp!oion of gaj in Cincinnati.!

An anonymous letter, threatening the life of the Governor and his Council if Clarence V. T. Richeson Is pardoned, is in the hands of the police in Boston. A small girl in Atlanta, Ga., was killed by a snowball during the last snow. The ball was thrown and ac cidentally hit her Just over the tem ple, killing her Instantly. Rev. Clarence T. V. Richeson, slay er of Avis Linnell, is aid to be in a dying condition, although it is thought he will survive the day set for execution, which is May 19th. Mt. Vernon, a suburb of Losnge les, Cal., believed to be the only In corporated city in the United States t,hat has not a single church, has voted to allow saloons to run on Sun day. There are three saloons. Richmond suffered from a $170, 000 fire a few days ago. The plant of Riswanger & Co., glass manufac turing and wholesale dealers in paints and oils, was totally destroyed. It was all covered by insurance. Two men were killed and six other fataly injured, when a limited inter urban car, on the Indianapolis and Martinsville line, ran head-on into a work train, four miles out from Martinsville, Ind., a few days ago. An estimate for 10,000,000 addi tional sheets of currency paper, from which $959,000,000 worth of paper money is to be printed, has been submitted to the House by Sec retary McVeaugh, to meet a shortage of small bills and "clean money." Four persons were killed in an ex-Tt plosion of a mine in the Central City, Coal and Iron Company, Central City, Ky., January 17th. The explosion occurred just after the day men had left the mine, and those killed were doing extra work. Capt. Julius A. Sitgreaves, a Con federate veteran, aged seventy-four, who is credited by some with having been the man who fired the first gun at Fort Sumter, in 18 61, -died sudden ly in his office in New York, January 23rd. Apoplexy is given as the cause of his death. i A horrible butchery took place In China, a few days ago. The Scandi navian school was surrounded by a mob. and the missionary. Rev. R.

The Income from fermented liquors, including beer, malts, etc., increased $228,775. It is said there is a probability that the famous suit of the Ware-Kramer Company vs. the American Tobacco Company will effect a compromise, without the termination of the appeal that the American Tobacco Company took from the verdict rendered against the company in the United States District Court. A young man, seventeen years old, was found locked in a freight car in Cincinnati, a few days ago. Both hands and feet were frozen, he was half-starved, and semi-insane from his physical condition. His name was James Fry, and he had been locked in by practical jokers. Phy sicians entertain very little hope for his recovery. The President has commuted the fifteen year sentence, for violation of tha national banking laws, under which Chas W. Morse, the New York banker, served two years in the Fed eral penitentiary. The commutation of the sentence gives Morse his free dom, but does not restore his civil rights. According to the Surgeon General's report to the President on his condition, he cannot live much longer, and in confinement would live only a few months.

Washington Dispatch to York American. the New "Some of the purposes of the in vestigation," said Representative Lindbergh, referring to the inquiry to be made by Congress into the money trust, "is to free the small bankers from the baneful influence and control of the money gomblers and speculators who compose the money trust. Under existing finan cial conditions, brought about through a bad financial system and the manipulations of the money trust, the small bankers are at the mercy of the trust. "The trust can make or break them. The bulk of the money they take in on deposit must be turned over to the great reserve banks for the use of the stock speculators. The small banker can get it back when he needs it only if it suits the con venience of the reserve banks and the few men who control them. GOOD INVESTMENT.

Is Hitchcock a Traitor to the Presi dent? "Red Buck" sends a most interest ing story from Washington to the Charlotte Observer from which we clip the following: "Friends of President Taft claim that Mr. Hitchcock gave out his state ment to embarrass the President. "An interesting story leaked out here when indignant friends of Mr Taft began to discuss the Hitchcock statement. "Hitchcock, it is said, got a severe drubbing at the hands of the Republi can National Committee when it met here in December. Charles D. Hllles, private secretary to President Taft, l$d the faction that sot down on Mr Hitchcock. " 'The fight was forced on the j Taft supporters by Mr. Hitchcock,, said a friend of President Taft to-J o:ay. 'Hitcncock went right In to or ganize the National Committee fer the campaign, just as if he had been selected to manage the coming con test. He named five of his friends to compose' the sub-committee on ar rangements. At this stage of the game Mr. Hllles came in. " "The .fight was on and Hitchcock and Hllles locked horns. Hllles named five men and the committee stood with him. Seeing that he was de feated, Hitchcock offered a compro mise. He told Hilles that it would not do for the public to know that a row had taken place in the commit tee over the selecting of the mem bers of the important sub-committee an t dthat they had been on opposite sides in the fight, and asked him to drop two of his men and give their places to two oZ his. Mr. Hllles told him to chase himself. Hitchcock then suggested that thes ub-commit-tee be made up of seven Instead of five men, letting five Hilles members serve with two Hitchcock men.

Mr. Hitchcock, it U said by friends of Mr. Taft, would bow em barrass the President with his radi cal statement on government owner ship of telegraph lines. It U stated that Mr. Hitchcock would like to have the President force him out of his Cabinet for taking this bold stand so that it could be said that the President threw him down for advo cating something that would help the masses. "President Taft did not like Mr. Hitchcock's activity In the National Committee meeting. Mr. Hitchcock, it is asserted, knows this and wants to be kicked out of the Cabinet, but would like to have It appear that he fell fighting for the people."" Liquor Sold on Panama Canal Zone to Content Laborers. Washington Dispatch. The fact that the sale of liquor in the Canal Zone is permitted by Col. George W. Goethals, engineer in charge of the work, and is upheld by him as being necessary for the "con tentment" of the laborers, has shock ed some members of the House Com mittee on Inter-State and Foreign Commerce, ' who hall from "dry" States and have just returned from a trip of inspection to Panama. There are now four distilleries and forty-seven saloons in the Canal Zone; last year there were fifty-nine saloons. An order from the chief en gineer would wipe them out at once, but he refuses to issue that order. He believes In an army canteen and uses the same argument In support ofg the sale of liquor under strict regulation on the territory under American supervision that was ad vanced by General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, in favor of the re-establishment of the army canteen. Liquor is sold in the cities under the jurisdiction of the republic of Panama and the army engineers in charge of the work in the Canal Zone say that thousands of the workmen are accustomed to liquor and could not be kept at work if deprived of It. pugg V7) Read the Labels. The pure food and drug law was designed for the protection of all, but it only protects those who read labels. m The law prevents false claims on the labels not m the advertising. The law makes the label tell if the medicine contains alcohol. Not so in the adver tisement. Read the Label The law specifies a list of such drugs as are considered dangeroui unless prescribed by a physician, such as opium morphine, cocaine, acetanelid. canabi, indica, chloral, arsenic, strychnine, etc, and makes the L ABEL tell if any of them are contained in the medicine. Ilie advertising does not have to. Therefore when buying medicine Read the Label t next time you are inclined to buy a tonic or . , .
