and informed him of a charge of drunk
enness which restsd against him.
Swaringer wa3 very penitent. He
was from Gastonia he said, had never
been arrested before in his life and
has a wife and child at home. He had
three dollars when he lit in Char
lotte, he declared, but it had taken
wings and flown while he was drunk.
He begfd piteously that he be alowe.1
to depart. declaring that he would
walk to Gastonia so fast he'd make
that vay station in three hours. The
Reror.Ier. moved by his appeals, dis

um, cf New York. a3 rumored in tele
grams from New York Monday nijrht.
This denial, it is tated, is confirmed
by direct information from Mr. John
Skelton Williams, who is in New Yorl',
and frcm whom a telegTam has been
received. Mr. Williams is quoted as
saying that the idea of a change iu the
presidency of the Seaboard is net in
contemplation, but that there may bp
some changes in minor offices.
At the time of the recently announ
ced alliance of the Seaboard with th
Rock I3land and 'Frisco interests, it
was announced authoritatively that
Mr. Williams would remain at the
head of the Seaboard. It l3 under
stood that Mr. Williams and others
succeeded in securing temporary con
trol of the Seaboard stocks, with the
puroose of consummating the nego
tiations with the Rock Island system,
but every assurance i3 given that Mr.
Williams will not retire from the Sea-
t-oa-d presidency.

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
R. H. Jordan & Co. Guarantee That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case
Of Catarrh In Charlotte.
When one of the moat reputable
concerns in Charlotte guarantees that
a medicine will effect a cure or they
will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that reme
dy. It is in this way that they are
selling Hyomei, the treatment that
ha3 made so many remarkable cures
of both acute and chronic catarrh in
Charlotte and vicinity.
nyomei is noi a pnijior is it a
liquid that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe
it by the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be seen
from the first treatment.
It destroys all germ lifa in the air
parages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozon-j. It cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do its work of healin
When using this ceatment, the air
you breathe will be Zound like that on
me mountains nign aoove the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory or
gans.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for severa
weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you they will refund your money
This is a good time to cure catarrh by
this natural method and prevent ca
tarrhal colds that are so common at
this season.

COMING ATTRACTIONS
m
BKlff IKLVIKIKKI I III III III Sir I I B
A dramatic event of more than pass
ing interest is announced for the'Acad-
emy of Music tonight la the person of
Marie Montagu, a prominent English
actress, presenting her own play,
Sweet Jasmine," a powerful dramatic
composition in five acts, suggested by
Bulwer Lytton's poem. "Aux Italiens."
The fact that Miss Montagu is not
alone an actress of renown, but also
a dramatiefc of distinction, makes her
coming engagement an event of sig
nificance, for it is a rarity to witness
an intensely interesting play inter
preted by an acknowledged Star and
have the Star and dramatist the same
individual. Miss Montagu is one of the
few women who wear their laurels
without ostentation, and who loves her
art solely-ior art's sake.
Thelma! will be seen at the Academy
of Music on next Monday night. This
play is now well advanced in its third
successful season, and has lost none of
its powers to attract by repeated pre
sentation. It is a play of many strong
ly dra vvn scenes, among the most dra
matic and telling being the "tomb
scen'j." Corelli is noted for her con
ception of weird characters and is an
ade.it in surrounding them with at
mosphere suitable to the theme on
which she builds and suitable to the
type she draws. We are given all the
assurance of the management of the
attraction that the several players to
be seen shall fully meet all of the ex
acting requirements of the play, and
the cast is said to be much superior to
that of former years.

Sherrill Left $3,000.
Mrs. Sherrill, of Mt. Ulla, who has
been compltely prostrated since the
killing of her son, Russell, is reported
to be slightly improved, says the Win-
Bton Sentinel.
It is learned that the son left his
mother a life insurance policy for
$3,000.' A responsible gentleman tells
the Sentinel that the family will be ad
vised to spend every dollar of the 3.
000. if necessary, In the prosecution of
the White brothers who killed Sher
rill. Sentiment in and around Mt. Ulla
13 said to be decidedly against the
brothers.
Rev. Geo. Stewart To Enter Fight.
The Salisbury Sun says: Rev. Geo.
Stewart, who is so well remembered in
Salisbury through his revival services
two years ago, will certainly be here
before the prohibition election is held.
One of the leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League so stated this morning to a Sun
reporter. He added that the League is
expecting great results from the
Stewart meeting.
There are said to be more legitimate
laugh and more real humor In the new
musical comedy, "When Reuben
Comes to Town" than in any work of
the kind since the days of the Mikado."
The music too is said to be of a higher
order, and posseses more originality
than any recent offering. The quality
that immediately impresses itself upon
the hearer is that the music seems to
fit the lines and situations, and is dis
tinctive and characteristic. The com
pany that will present the piece at the
Academy of Music tomorrow night is
the same original organization that
gave it its great popularity. The scen
ery and costumes and entire production
is also the same that was designed for
the Metropolitan run.
Montana now claims to stand first
of all the states In the production of
wool, first in the production of cop
per, second in silver and fifth in gold.
Price Gave Bond.
The Concord Tribune says: Ed.
Price, a young white man was arrested
In Charlotte and Jield yesterday.
Price wa3 vanted here for some minor
charge and the authorities notified. Hia
father went to Charlotte yesterday and
with the consent cf Concord officers
gave a $23 bond for Price's appearance
here at the next term of court. Upon
giving bond young Price was released.
