In another column of The News ap pears a coupon entitling the holder to a bottle of Prof. Munyon's Paw Paw at half-price, at any drug store in Charlotte. ( This remedy, for dyspepsia and kin dred stomach troubles, is made from the juice of the Carica Papaya, a South American fruit, which for many years has been freely used by the natives of the countries in which it grows, enjoy ing such popularity that in the West Indies the tree, is generally known as "arbol deyidaj' or tree of life. The tree attains a height of ten to thirty feet and the fruit which grows in a large cluster at the top closely re sembles a muskmelon in size, shape color and flavor. In tropical countries the leaves of the tree are cooked w-ith beef and other tough meats rendering them tender and digestable, and after a particularly hearty meal slices of the ripe fruit are served as desert to in sure perfect and easy digestion. Professor Munyon was the first to make, a scientifically prepared extract from the i juices of this fruit and in troduce it to the people of the United States, where it is rapidly supplanting animal pepsin in the treatment of stomach troubles. The coupon which will appear in The News today only will be accepted by any Charlotte druggist at its face value, 70 cents, on the purchase of this remedy. News reached the city this morning of a shooting aff-? which occurred at a negro dance in Steel Creek on Thursday night, in which Bob Springs, a negro of notorious reputation, shot and fatally wounded Jim McKnight another negro.

Nothing of the particulars of how the row started could be learned today. A message was received this morn ing of the death of the wounded negro and on account of the absence from the county of Coroner Gresham, the clerk of the superior court appointed 'Squire J. W.
