Take
Courage
If you are naturally not as strong as your more fortunate
sisters, and for this reason experience dread rather than joy at
the prospect of becoming a mother, take courage and assurance
from this fact : Mother's Friend is meant for you, and by its
use you may pass through that glorious martyrdom which is
yours by divine right with no more discomfort than that experienced by
those who by nature are possibly more adapted for the role of motherhood.
MOTHER'S FRIEND
is a liniment of proven merit, and its great worth can be no
better attested to than by the coundess strong and healthy
children who through its kindly offices have entered this
world unhandicapped by any deformity or weakness. -It
is a liniment which by external application acts upon the (
abdominal muscles and permits of a painless parturition.

, In these times when living expenses
have increased from 30 to 50 per cent.,
it is unusual to hear of a standard
remedy being- offered at half price.
Yet that is the way R. H. Jordan &
Co,, the popular druggists, are selling
Dr. Howard's celebrated specific for
me cure of dyspepsia and constipation.
In addition to selling a fifty cent bot
tle, containing a month's treatment of
sixty doses, for 25 cents, they give
their personal guarantee with every
bottle they sell to- refund the-v-money
If it does not give satisfaction.'
This unusual offer has brougbt hun
dreds of customers to their jtore in
the last few weeks, yet out of the many
bottles of Dr. Howard's specific they
have sold, but one customer has asked
to have the money returned. This was
done without any questions, although
they do not think - the remedy could
have been given' a fair trial.
Doctor's bills can be saved by the
use of Dr. Howard's specific for the
cure of dyspepsia and constipation, and
by taking advantage of this special
half price introductory' offer,' our read
ers can save half the regular, price of
the specific. ' :
This remarkable remedy is destined
to have the largest sale of any medi
cine upon the ' market, for those who
use it once, not only buy a second
package, but ' they recommend it to
their friends as the only relief they
have found for constipation and dys
pepsia. The sole limit to its sale is the
fact that in only chronic cases is mofe
than one bottle needed to cure, and its
cures are permanent.
Bagged 141 Birds.
Messrs. Will Eagle, of Atlanta, and
Lloyd Pettus, of Charlotte, have, just

Providence township. These two young
men bagged 141 birds besides several
rabbits.
Mr. Eagle is here on his vacation. He
is now chief clerk of the Majestic
Hotel, in Atlanta, which is owned and
conducted by Mr. Ralph Van Landing
ham, a former Charlotte boy. He re
turns home either tonight or in the
morning.
BLACK SAM JONES
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Rev. A. MnLees Is Having Trou
biers of His Own Over in Salis
bury. Famous Negro Evange
list "Excused" of Inftaelity by
His Wife.
Few there be"' in Charlotte who do
not recall Black Sam Jones, who has
made so many appeals to the negroes
of this section at the camp-meeting
at Latta Park.
The troubles that this "'zorter",is
now confronted with reminds the writ
er of a little story that a Baptist
preacher-told near Rockingham sev
eral years ago.
There was a big meeting on in Rich
mond county, near Rockingham, and
a well known Baptist'divine was plead
ing for sinners 'to flee the "wrath that
is to come." x
Among other things, he said that some
of the signers of Richmond -county
would get in trouble and the first thing
they would do would be to go to
Rockingham and employ Col. John D.
Shaw to represent taem. This, the
preacher said, meant almost certain
acquittal.
"But," said the minister "there is
coming, some time in the future, a big
trial: You sinners will all be there and
I will be there. I want to tell you
right now that you can't get Col. Shaw
to represent you in that court, for Col.
Shaw will have business of his own to
attend to."
The point is that Black Sam Jones
now is overwhelmed with "business of
his own." .
At the February term of the Superi
or Court of Rowan county, Black Sam
Jones will appear as the defendant in
a divorce case which his wife, Aman
da McLees, has instituted. ,
This action was brought yesterday
and the wife alleges infidelity on the
part of her preacher-husband. , :
In speaking of this case the Salis
bury Post says:
"While as a matter of course,, no
specifications are set forth in the
published notice, the evangelist's ir
regularities are alleged to have oc
curred in Chester, S. C.
"Walter H. Woodson, Esq., is coun
sel for the plaintiff, and it is certain
that the defendant will also be pres
ent, and with lawyers.
Black Sam Jones is one of the
most interesting negro preachers
in the South. He is unpretentious, as
sumes no airs, but has a head full
of horse sense and unlimited lung
power. The effect of his sermons
upon his audiences is electrical. Judge
of human nature that he is, he adapts
himself-to any condition, or occasion.
He is the calm, dignified, unemontion
al expounder of "the Word. Again, he
revels in word pictures of fire, brim
stone and all other appurtenances of
the well-regulated hell, which he so
graphically portrays. At 'a single : ser
vice as many as a hundred negroes,
stricken by terror at his denunciation
of sin and his fervid exhortations,
have thrown themselves prostrate at
his feet and implored mercy.
"The plaintiff is a daughter of the
late -Giles Turner, a. well known color
ed , preacher.. of .this county." '
Mainspring
of Life
No One Can Be Strong With a Weak
Stomach Woodal I & Sheppard Tell
How It May Be Strengthened.
The stomach is .the jnainspring of
life. When it is strong and acts per
fectly, then the whole system is right,
assimilation is perfect and body- and
brain are thoroughly: nourished.:
Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use,
and benefit is seen from ; almost the
first day's treatment. 4 It; restores the
torpid glands and stimulates the nat
ual digestive secretions. It checks
fermentation, stops germ growth,
soothes inflammation and cures all
troubles, such as headaches, - back
aches, rheumatic pains, furred tongue,
sleeplessness, -nervousness and gen
eral debility, which are caused by im
perfect digestion. -
It is the only remedy that is so uni
formly successful in the cure of stom
ach diseases .that; "Woodall & Sheppard
are willing to give a guarantee with
every 50 cent box of . Mi-o-na tablets
that the remedy will cost nothing un
less it cures. They have so much faith
in Mi-o-na that they are willing to take
all the risk.
NEGRO BRAKEM AN INJURED. (
Fell Under A Moving Engine And Both
Of His Les Were Cut Off.
Jim Wright,' a colored brakeman in
the employ of the : Southern: Railway
Company, was run over by a shifting
engine at the intersection of West
Fifth street and the railroad last night
about 11 o'clock and had both of his
legs cut off one just above the knee
and the other between the knee and
ankle. Wright was standing in the, cen
ter of the track waiting to jump on the
running board and as he stepped on it
he lost his balance falling long ways
in the center of the track. Had he re
mained in this position the engine
would have passed over his body with
out injuring him as there was no dirt
over tne cross ties at this point. In
stead, ne attempted to extricate him
self and threw, his feet under the
wheels. The engine passed its entire
length before Engineer George Webb
could bring it to a standstill.
Wright had been employed by the
Southern about a month. He was a
hard working negro and discharged his
duties with much credit. He lives near
the Southern depot.' -

III BIG MURDER CASE
Judge F. i. Osborne and Mr.
James W. Osborne Have Been
Retained by Dr. Simpson who
is Accused of the Murder of one
Bartley T. Horner.
Many Charlotte people will be in
terested in hearing that Judge Frank
I. Osborne and his brother, -Mr. James
W. Osborne, have been retained by Dr.
James Weddell Simpson who is , now
onrtrial for the murder of Bartley, T.
Horner, in New York city.
This is a case in which the New
York papers, every one of them, are
devoting from four to five columns
each day. ' -
During the examination of witnesses
yesterday, Mrs. Simpson, wife of the
accused, not only3 testified against her
husband but; said,that she fears for her
life, if her husband is acquitted.
At the conclusion of his, wife's testi
mony, Dr. Simpson is reported as say
ing: -" '
"The blackest sorrow of my life,"
said Dr. Simpson last night before
being taken 'to Riverhead, "was when
I found that my well beloved wife had
turned against me.; If the hatred of my
mother-in-law-was, proved by. her testi-,
mdny,- that ,!of mywife was doubly
shown, but when I realized that Julia
wanted the court to know that I was
guilty the devil himself could not have
squeezed another tear out of my eyes.
I thank Heaven for one thing, and that
is that the women of Northport believe
me innocent. My wife and mother may
attempt; to send me to the '.- electric
chair, but' I ' have the sympathy"' of the
townsfolk. '' ' v'-" y--.,S.'. s J'-w
"Until I heard' the words . from , my
wife's mouth the Whole world, could
not have made me -believe' that she
would try to send me to my death. But
despite all. I '. still ; love 'my, wife as ' I
have always loved' her. , i She is under
the influence ; of her mother, who de
spises me, although I have always rev
ered ; and respected her as I did my
own mother when she was alive."
Dr. Simpson then ' produced and
showed an affectionate letter from hi
sister, Mrs. .Charles L. Bowman, of
Mount Jackson, Virginia, ?.which show
ed that the members of his own fam
ily all believe in his innocence. :
A PROHIBITION ARGUMENT.
Facts,-Showing Effect of. Prohibition
7 Law, Which Cannot Be Successfully
Controverted. 5 -
-To our very few citizens who argue
that open barrooms would be better
for our town that our present prohibi
tion situation we have a few words to
say. These words are suggested by the
comparison of two years in Charlotte,
one under the open barroom system.
Our argument is founded on'the basis
that human nature is about the same
all over the South and, therefore, what
applies to Charlotte ; will also apply to
us. ' , .' '
In reviewing the criminal history of
Charlotte for 1904, 1 when the city had
open barrooms, we find there were 915
cases for "drunks," and last year under
their present prohibition system there
were for the same offense 371 cases.
All through the long list of offenses we
find those in which whiskey would nat
urally play a prominent part to be
greatly decreased. Taken as a whole
the entire lise for 1904 shows 2,184
cases docketed while that of 1905
shows only 1,520. , Only one class of
offenses shows an increase in 1905
over 1904 p.nd that is indictments for
selling whiskey.
. The logical conclusion must be that
the above statement of the authorities
is correct , and this7 being correct the
present system of prohibition in Char
lotte must be superior to that of open
barrooms.- This history for Charlotte
has been made in face of the fact that
whiskey can be obtained for Charlotte
in Salisbury, in the. drus stores at
Charlotte, and through blind tigers in
and around the city. We put it that
where most licuor is drunk most crime
will prevail, and vice versa. Hence
when you cut down the sources vof ob
taining liquor you diminish both
drunkenness and crime.
If there is a single' citizen in King's
Mountain who would argue that there
is as much whiskey drank here now as
there would be under an open barroom
system, we simply call him to the rec
ords of our neighbor, Charlotte, and
ask him if he actually thinks wre could
be an exception to the rule, under sim
ilar circumstances. No, sir, you mav
argue that it will bring money and i
trade to our town, with some show of
a hand, but when you argue ; that it
won't cause more drunkenness and
crime, create more drunkards, make
more widows and orphans and damn
more souls you are without any show
at all. King's Mountain -News.
