CROSSINGS MUST BE BETTER GUARDED Had it Filled No Sufferer ot Kidney Trouble or Rheumatism Should Leave Home Re cipe bntried as Only Good Results Can Fol low. r-jj t Vhat the readers of this paper ap preciate advice when given in good faith is plainly demonstrated bv the fact that one well-known local phar macy supplied the ingredients for the "vegetable prescription" many times within the past two weeks. The an nouncement of this simple, harmless mixture has certainly accomplished much in reducing the great many cases of kidney complaint and rheu matism here, relieving pain and mis ery, especially among the older popu lation, who are always suffering more or less with bladder and urinary trou bles, backache and particularly rheu matism. Another well-known druggist asks us to continue the announcement of the prescription. It is doing so much real good here, he continues, that it would be a crime not to do so. It can not be repeated too often, and further states many cases of remarkable cures wrought. The following is the prescription, of simple ingredients making a harm less, inexpensive compound, which anv person can prepare by shaking well in a bottie: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one' ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any first-class drug store will sell this small amount of each ingiedieut, and the dose for adults is one teasyconful to be taken after each meal and asain at bedtime. There is enough here to last for one week, if taken according to directions. Good results will be apparent from the first few doses.

Bottles For $5.00 The Pub!ic Service Board Says the Railroads Are Careless in Guarding Grade Crossings, and That Too Much Drinking Goes On in Depots. At a meeting of the board of public safety last night, a communcation from the board of public service was read asking that the safety board co operate in forcing the railroads to better guard the grade crossings in the city and to stop the drinking of whiskey in the lavatories of the Sea board and Southern depots. The safety board ordered the chief of police to report to the service board that he was ready and willing to co- operate in the enforcement of these ordinances. The communication in full is as fol lows: Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 9. 1907. To the Board of Public Safety, Charlotte, N. C. Gentlemen: We wish to call your attention to the following section: Transportation Department. Sec. 143. That all transporta tion facilities in said City shall be under the supervision of the Board of Public Service, who shall appoint a Supervisor of Transpor tation and define his duties. They may designate some other officer to act as such Supervisor. We have had numerous complaints of carelessness on the part of rail roads at street crossings, and upon investigation we found that in the short period of twenty minutes the trains were allowed to run over cross ing on West Trade street four times without lowing gates. We found also that the man at the Seventh street crossing allowed trains to go over crossing without any attempt on his part to warn the people of the ap proach of trains. YTe find also that no flagman has been placed at West Fifth street crossing, that no flagman has been placed at West Second street crossing, mat no flagman has been placed at West Cleveland avenue, and! me fcuuuieu across mese streets without a brakeman aboard. Cars should not be shunted across anv of the streets in the city, but should be at all times under the control of the locomotive; we also find that no at tention is paid to the ordinance re garding the blocking of streets by the railroads. In conversation with the operatives we find that they are not properly in structed in their duties,, even after warning the gateman on December 7, we find on revisiting the West Trade street crossing on December 9, that the gateman was still violating the ordinance requiring the lowering of the gates before trains cross over. We further find that the gate at the East Trade street crossinsr was aiw. j ed to be out of repair a month before . the road attended to it. f We also find that the railroads do not keep planks on their road bed at ; crossings in proper repair. I We further find that there is alto gether too much liquor drinking go ing on in the lavatories of the South-1 Bache & Co's Cotton Letter. New York, Jan. 4. The Liverpool market closed weak on the report of a probable strike in Manchester. This, however, did not seem to have the effect in this market as it did in Liv erpool for our opening was not as low as foreign cables. The support ac corded prices by the short interest was the principal sustaining factor after opening 9 points down. March sold at 10.G4. later rallied aboht 9 points. May touched 10.62 and ral lied to C8. There as some confusion of opinion regarding the government report of the amount of cotton ginn ed to December 31. ! Mr. Price holds that the gins have made a record for the 10 working days. His figures are 740,000 for the period while many fa vor 600,000 for the period. However, we will know authoritively all about it next week. We do not believe in get ting frightened by the situation in Manchester. The final action will not be taken uitil January 18. The south ern spot situation has not weakened much and Ave are still inclined to fa vor buying on all these small recac tions. We believe the winter will see much higher prices for cotton. J. S.
