There is nothing that gives as much confidence as square and fair dealing with the public.
The mere wording of an advertisement doesn't- make facts.
Sixty-four years of square dealing direct with the people is an index to our business methods.

We have never sacrificed tone, quality and perfect workmanship for expense.
We have never made cheap Pianos and never will.

The mere possession of a STIEFF or SHAW PIANO puts the seal of supreme approval upon
the musical taste of its owner.

pricesthe manufacturers price as low as consistent with strictly high grade Pianos.

GENERAL CGRBIII
Washington, D. C, Sept. 15. Lieu
tenant General Henry C. Corbin, who
lias the distinction of being the only
adjutant-general of the United States
v.rmy to reach the high grade of
lieutenant-general, was placed on the
retired list today by operation of the
dge limit. General Corbin leaves
the active service after a long
j.nd distinguished career. Like
General Miles he is not a grad
uate of West Point. He was born in
Ohio and entered the army as a
volunteer. After the civil war he
passed a satisfactory examination
and was accepted as an officer in the
iegular army. From the administra
tion of Lincoln to that of Roosevelt
he has always been very near the
I erson of the President. He was the
adjutant at the inauguration of
Garfield, Cleveland, Harrison and
McKinley. In the war with Spain

crs of General Corbin, and he met'
the duties and responsibilities with
an executive ability that commanded
admiration and praise. It is not
too much to say that he had more
to do with the detailed work of mold
ing the army into form than any oth
er officer of the government, and he
was one of the most influential ad
visers of President McKinley.
The retirement of General Corbin
results in the promotion of Major
General Arthur MacArthur, one of
the most popular officers in the army,
to the grade of lieutenant-general.
The vacancy in the list of major-generals
is filled by the promotion of
llrisadier-General Jesse M. Lee, Maj.-
. General A. W. Greely, late comman

KILLS THE GEMS
IC (O (O5
The laws of nature and heredity are fixed and invariable. Parents who
are related by the ties of blood, or who have a consumptive tendency, or
family blood taint, are sure to transmit it to their children in the form of
Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, hip disease, pale, waxy
complexions, emaciated bodies, running sores and ulcers, and general weak
constitutions are the principal ways in which the disease is manifested.
Those who have inherited this blighting trouble inay succeed in holding it
in check during young, vigorous life : but after a spell of sickness, or when
the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, the ravages of
the disease will become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption.
S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out the scrofulous deposits,
kills the germs and completely cures the disease. It changes the quality of
the blood by removing all impurities and poisons and supplying this vital
fluid with rich, health-sustaining qualities. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
medicine and is especially adapted to sj'stems which have been weakened
and poorly nourished by scrofulous blood. Literature on Scrofula and med

AND HAPPENINGS

Ss'camore streets. The building will
have all the conveniences of a mod
ern up-to-date lodge and club house.
In the chapel of the Greensboro
Female College yesterday took place
the impressive formal opening cere
monies of the institution. Devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev. G.
H. Detwiler. The president, Mrs.
Lucy Robinson, made an inspiring
address and short talks were made by
Messrs. John A. Young, C. H. Ire
land, C, A. Bray of the board of
trustees, F. C. Hoyle and N. L. Eure.
There were oyer 100 students pres

Thirteen Cubans spent the night

Before' 'ad jouTning the' sn&eial term
c f Federal Court Wednesday after
noon Judge Boyd, in a statement
fiom the bench as to why he named
the first Monday in December, as
special term of court for the dispo
sition of the cases against revenue
officers and distillers who have been
convicted or pleaded guilty to in
dictments for ' frauds or irregularities
in the revenue service, . said that -by
tliat time he , hoped all ' the cases
vould have been finally determined, i
&e -the -.regular terns ef eeFt-in 4)c-
tober would be largely devoted to
trying those remaining on the docket.
Before passing sentence on a single
case, he said he waited until all were
investigated that ne might the better
be able to ascertain the real source
and primary cause of so much cor
ruption in the government service.
Those most responsible should be
visited with more severe "punishment
than those who were willing but
weak dupes. It was of paramount
importance that abuses should be cor
rected, stopped or prevented. If
there was anything wrong in the
practices of revenue service " officials
tending to demoralize, corrupt or
debauch private citizens, it was of as
much importance that this should be
discovered and exposed, as that those
engaged in it should' be punished. It
is claimed that for years irregulari
ties have existed in the revenue ser
vice, and if there have been such re
cently, custom and precedent should
ct least excuse if not exonerate prac
tices that have been denounced 'as
unlawful by all the highest revenue
cuthorities. While this if a fact is
undoubtedly some grounds for ex
tenuation, and in a sense some ex
cuse, it only goes to emphasize the
urgent need of reform, and if true
fully justifies the investigations, ; if
rot prosecutions which have been
instituted by the department . of jus
tice. If custom in wrong doing ; is
conceded as a principle of public or
1 rivate or. .official action,, then laws
tecome useless and individual prob
ily even, placed at a discount by the
premium which this custom offers to
wrong doing. In this day and time,
of all others in the world's history,
official service and " conduct should
be, and must be, such as to inspire
the absolute confidence as' well as
the respect of the people. - High ac
tion on the part of officials of what
ever grade, responsibility or position,
sets the pace for high action of those
in private station. Such a condition
means peace, order, lawfulness, and
if there is not peace, law and order
ia a community or a commonwealth,
the primal cause might lie found in
the conduct of those in authority, and
a correction of any . abuse, if dis
covered, must certainly tend to re
store peace, order and quiet. The
example of good conduct, while most
important in an official, should also
be naturally the easiest thing for him
to do, unless he be integrally corrupt
and vicious and he be so the mistake
ojl his being placed in authority over
anybody cannot be discovered too
soon or rectified too soon, whether
punishment be punitive or simply
corrective. If those in authority do
r ot at least set a good ! example, 'the
people who have confidence in their
officials, will either lose respect for
sr-uthority or following in trust, the ex
ample set, certainly go wrong, wther
they intend to or not, and the result
in either case is utter demoraliza
tion if not--ultimately destruction to
all government, based on justice 'or
equality of opportunity.

Wadesboro, Sept. li. Mr. E. Forter,
the gentleman injured in his eye by a
pistol shot in the hands of Joel Gad
dy, left here for Charlotte last night
to consult an occulist. Physicians
here think that by proper attention
Mr. Porter's eye can be saved. Mr.
Porter was not drinking. The fuss
was over a quart of whiskey and Gad
dy says that Porter accused him of
stealing the liquor.
The case of the State vs. West Mc
Bride is still on. Contrary to all ex
pectation the defence offered no evi
dence, but relied on the evidence of
the State for an acquittal. A strong
chain of circumstantial evidence was
offered by the State. It is the concen
sus of opinion that McBride is the
right man, but many fear thht the evi
dence presented by the State will fail
to convict him of murder in the first
degree.
Hannah and Massie Little, colored,
were convicted of the larceny of mon
ey from Giles Cooley, colored. Han
nah Little enticed Gx.es into her den
and while there, Giles, who is blind,
robbed him. Hannah gets a year in the
"pen" and Massie two. Wadesboro is
rid of two of the greatest nuisances
that any town was ever cursed with.
