Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, it is a sure sign that your lit tle one's stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natur ally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the foul, constipate waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels .without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. You needn't coax children to take thia harmless "fruit laxative:" they love its delicious taste, and it aiwaya makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Svrun of Fies." which has directions for babies, chil dren of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun- terteits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine ask to see that it is made ny California Ficr Svrun ComnanvJ Refuse any other kind with contempt. Tho fact that this is the year for all county officers of every kind to-be elected is apparently creating very little interest among the sovereign citizenship of Mecklenburg county and the city. The clerk of the court, the sheriff, the register of deeds, the members of the board of county commissioners, the members of the bc-rd of education and the county treasurer are all to be voted on this year. In view of the fact that manv possibilities exist in this state of affairs for thosee who arc politically-minded to start an agitation, it is considered rather remarkable that there1 has been so little political talk. The primary for the nomination ot cand-'dates to fill these various of fices is usually held in the middle of tbe summer. In spite of the nearness of the time for a primary, very little discussion as to 'candidates, or prob able candidates, has been heard. Not infrequently there is abundant talk as to who would be a good man to till this and that office long before the time of the holding of the prima ry. Whether the silence on the sub ject this year means that there will be few candidates and fewer changes in the personnel of those holding county offices remains to be t-een. H has been stated as an observation by a leading citizen, and one Ions ac quainted with politics in Mecklenburg county, that there has seldom been in the history of the county a time when there was not more spoken criticism of this and that public offi cial of tho county. Which observa tion, if true, will probably be re ceived with some degree of satisfac tion, or comfort, by the "ins" who are popularly supposed to be in con stant uncertainty as to whether the "outs" (a term applied to those who are not in. office but want in) are not after their political scalpe. This silence in regard to candi dates to succeed tho present incum bents in the county offices is not so observable in the case of the county representation in the general assem bly. Already a number of names have been suggested as likely to figure in the filial count following the next election of representatives. There has also, as is well know, been a good deal of interest manifested in the congressional race. With a congress man to be elected from this district, four representatives, to be elected to represent the county m the legisla ture, a large portion of the county officers to be elected and a mayor to be chosen. for the city of Charlotte, all indications point to the fact, that regardless of how quiet the political cauldron baa been simmering Here tofore it will effervesce and boil later on. of Rev.

The committee will make tinal study of the plans and expect to advise the! board next Monday whether it favors i carrying out the original plans for a criminal court room in the new jail, or whether it favors heeding the pro test made by the local bar association that it would not be for the best inter est of the Bar, the county and the public at jargc to have the terms of criminal court heldcriminal court held in the new jail. It is expected that there will be further pressure brought to bear on tbe commissioners by those most interested relative to the new criminal court room proposal.
