THE CHARLOTTE. NEV(S, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906 A Valuable Agent The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce s medicines greatly enhances the medi cinal properties which it extracts and holds in solution much better than alco hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own. being a valuable S.n.,ii,..iMt nut i-iti't nnr.ispntic and anti- lerment. h adds greatly to the efficacy cf the Black Chcrrybark. Golden Seal root. Stone, root and (Jneen's root, con t-MTipd in "fiohlen Medical Discovery" in subduing chronic, or lii&ering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recona Ti.Mi(iid bv standard medical authorities. In all cases where there is a wasting , awav of liosh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of i consumption, there can be no doubt that jrlycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and : aids the Golden Seal root.

Of course. It must , not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in its earlier I stages. It will cure very severe, obstin- j ate. chronic cvughs. bronchial and .laryn- goal troubles, and chronic sore throat ', with hoarseness. In acute coughs it is j r.ot so effective. It is in the lingering : cotmhs, or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from : lanes, that it has performed its most i marvelous cures.

Amos Owe::s. known :o many people here, and a u;aii whose name has been iiashed across the ) continent many times in eonr.ee:ioa with the famous fraud eases tried here several years ago is no more. Amos Owt-iis by getting his name connected with a big scheme concoct ed by others, more wily than he, won notoriety around the world, and col li tuns of newspaper stories, by the yards have been written about this man. and the part he played in the fa mouse case which was tried in the Federal court at Charlotte. He met his end peacefully at Cher ry Mountain on which the famous cher ry trees were grown, and for which many poor widows and women with barely a living in the world, gave their fortunes, small though they were, to an endless chain affair, that made .several men rich, and in the end was knocked sky high by the shrewd men of the United States secret service v. ho brought charges against the de fendants for alleged illegal and frau tiient use of the United States mail. Amos Owens was a great character. He knew more about blockading than any man in North Carolina, and had experience sufficient in this line to fill a book in the telling thereof. It will be remembered that in this famous case there were several de fendants, one a preacher, and that "Old Man Owens" was here for many weeks as a witness in the case. The promot- -s s-n: letters broadcast over the -: '.ur:r". offering so many of the Amos ','wer.s cherry trees to the purchaser, - ho Ir. -tin: was to sell the trees or ; of cr. a similar basis on " hich they had bough: them.

Amos Owens will be long remember ed in this city and in his native moun tains where he made liquor, talked half his time, and enjoyed life as' onlv a wild mountain raised man could. $4,000 Sent the Needy.

Donaldsons Deny Selling. There was a big fight made in the i Recorder's Court this morning which j it-suited in the binding over of three I i'liejrpd blind tierers. one under a ' bond of $200 and the other two under bonds of $100 each. The first defendant called was Lew I is Wilson, who keeps a small store I $nd sells what he calls beerine. j Wilson declared that he had been I handling the article for some time and that it was made in the city by a local bottling plant, i The evidence which counted against ; the defendant was that of Mack Bar rett who works at a cotton mill on j the suburbs. Barrett swore that the j drunk labeled beerine made him feel good and seemed to have the same ! effects as alcohol. ; The Recorder remarked that it was ' hard to get a grand jury or a petit j jrry to decide that this sort of a drink was intoxicating, and that the c nly kind of cider fbr instance, that was not intoxicating, was tresh cider, rluu nhi cider necessarilv con tained alcohol, and furthermore the oily cider that could be sold without violation of the law was fresh cider. This, however, the court, as men tioned above, remarked that it was 1 itficult to persuade a jury of. Wil son was represented by J. D. McCall, Esq. His bond was placed at $100. The next blind tiger case was that of Jack Donaldson. The principal witness against Donaldson was Cleve Kerr. Kerr has testified in court several times before about the same affair, but would not admit that he had bought liquor from Donaldson, nor would he tell all that he, knew m the opinion of the court, who yes terday had him locked up as a wit ness in the case that was brought up sp-ain today. This time Kerr when put on the stand, admitted that he. had bought two one-half pint bottles from Donald son, but the liquor was for another man, Bob Smith. .; Mr. Plummer Stewart, who repre sented Donaldson, argued to the court that the witness, having as the at torney alleged, sworn falsely before,: was not to be Deneved unaer sucn circumstances. The court said that Kerr had sworn that he got nothing for himself, but had not directly sworn that he had not bought liquor from Donaldson for anybody else. Donaldson's bond was made $200. The court then called a similar case against Cleve Donaldson, who it is alleged sold liquor to Walter Hart rell last August. Hartsell was placed on the stand, and said that he had cought the liquor from Cleve Donald son to whom he gave one dollar, and that Cleve asked him to say nothing i-.bout the matter at all. Hartsell also swore that Cleve Donaldson said be got the liquor from Jack Donald son. Cleve Kerr, who was an un willing witness yesterday, also swore today that he saw the liquor poured cut. Cleve Donaldson's bond was placed at $100. There was a lively time at the Seaboard depot last night wheptwo hi-ck drivers blocked the way, and Mr. D. B. Spears, of the Seaboard, had some trouble with one of the ne- j g'.ces, stating that the negro used j language that he could'nt stand for. 1 Mr. Sears admitted that he was guil ty of attempting to strike at ai h right Barber, the negro whom he had ordered to get out of the way, c nd on the row in front of the depot allotted to the hacks and busses. Officer Johnston said that Barber ?nd Seth Cathey were both close to gether near the corner of the depot, rnd very close to the car line, having driven in from North College street; that Mr. Sears asked him to arrest Barber whom he said had given him too much "sass" when asked to move cn; that Mr. Sears had followed him to Barber's carriage, and that Mr. ears reached around from behind the officer striking in the direction of the negro when the two reached the carriage. The court held that both negroes were out of their proper place and fined them $5 each. The court also held Mr. Sears guilty of attempted rssault and he was charged with the costs. The case consumed a great deal of time while the court endeavored to ascertain if the drivers' story was true that they could not get through on account of the street car's block ing the way. A diagram was drawn ?nd the witnesses, the Recorder and Mr. T. L .Kirkpatrick, who represent ed Barber, examined and studied tnis closely to determine distances, etc., before the court reached a decision. Ella King, a colored girl, had a warrant sworn"out against her by a colored man who said that while he was calling on the woman she took his money. The. court found no evi dence on which to hold the woman. he returned $1, a part of the money in court. In another case one out of three witnesses were present, and the court ordered that officers see each or the three and secure a $10 bond each for their appearance tomorrow or in lieu of getting bond, to lock them up. The court has determined to nut an end to the tardiness of witnesses and their failure toap 1 1 P g pear when summoned.

Successor ' to Fireman Jetton Appointed. The Case of Frank Orr Disposed of by.tne Com mission. The Police, Fire and Health Com mission held aneeting of importance yesterday afternoon, all the members being present. Mayor McNinch, ih opening the meeting Said: "My real leason for calling this meeting is on account of the' suspension in the lire department." Mr. J. I. Blakely, chairman of the' Health Committee, offered two re commendations, endorsed by Dr. F. O. Hawiey, city physician, trom iv Hyland, plumbing inspector, recom mending that the Board of Water Commissioners be asked for a hy-; Grant at Sixth and Poplar street; also a fire hydrant at East Fourth snd Caldwell streets, for flushing the sewers, etc. These were referred to the Board ot Water Commissioners. Mr. J. A. Durham, chairman Police Committee, rendered his monthly re port for the police department, which was placed on file. This showed $914 receiDts for Aueust. He also reported that the department was short a horse' and was now uking an animal borrowed ,from the fire de partment. This matter was referred to police committee with power to act. The suspension of Fireman Frank Orr at 'Department No. 2, was taken up. According to the investigation it was found that Orr was intoxicated while on duty on Sunday, about three weeks ago. Two commissioners made the investigation. He was suspen ded by Assistant Chief Charles ot Department No. 1, the case having teen pending since then. There was also evidence that the man suspended had been using in toxicants a number of times before. Under these conditions most of the commissioners were or tne opinion that it would not be just where the offense seemed to be habitual to re tain Orr. The colnmission voted to drop the ebove named from the ranks of the fire department, after a thorough dis cussion of the matter among the members. . rThe resignation of Fireman ,C N J Jetton was read and accepted. Mr. jetton has accepted a position with the Colonial Club. The commission next took up the question of a successor for Mr. Jet ton and after reading a number of applications the commission elected Henry Palmer, a call fireman, a mem ber of the fire department. There is another vacancy on the fire force which the commission freely and thoroughly discussed but deferred electing anybody to fill the josition until a subsequent meeting. The commission in their discus sion showed a strong tendency to wards - favoring more and more a civil service rule for selecting fire men and other city officials serving in the various departments. .

Strauss, formerly minister to Turkey, tells this story of a Boston rabbi.. One day in a crowded street car the rabbi arose to give his eeat to a wo man who had just entered. Much to the rabbi's disgust a young man scram bled into his seat before the" lady could avail herself of it. For some mo ments the rabbi glared at the offender in a ,way. that clearly showed his dis-pleasutes;b-t,;he nothing. Finally the rude young man growing, restive under his keen glance, said: ; wot are . you staring" at me for? Look like you'd like to eat me!" "I am forbidden to do that," quiet ly responded the rabbi. "I'm a Jew!" alleged, was turned loose today, t"he court stating that there was not suffi cient evidence to hold him on. The mother of the little fellow sat in the court room throughout most cf the session until her boy's case was disposed of, and a smile of re iiefwas plainly - visible on her wrinkled features, when she learned that her son was out of trouble. The boy was represented by J. D. Mc Call, Esq. where the country:"; dHEMf-WHAT YOU oughly That's brands, and one AND KNOW SCHNAPPS. Fitzgerald vs. McGarry. Bridgeport, Conn., September 20.
