There is an epidemic of runaway
boys. Scarcely a day passes but what
we read of ryi and young men run
ning away from home, and no tidings
of their whereabouts come back to par
ents and loved ones. The great trouble
with boys is the fact they don't think.
In the first place, the closer a boy can
be and the closfr he lives under the
shadowof a good mother the better it
is for him. The home roof is the best
covering and shield that a boy can
know in this world. The literature of
the dav is largely responsible for this
crsze on the part of boys and young
men to leave home and wander up and
down through the earth. I suppose no
boy bas left a good home, a good
mother and father, but what thoughts
of home and friends occur ever and
anon to him. At night time, wherever
he pillows his head he must think of
mother at home; but he doesn't realize
how mother and father suffer because
of the absent boy. I hope these lines
may fall under the eyes of many wan
dering boys, and that if they refuse to
come back to their homes, tbey will sit
down and write to mother and father,
or orother and sister. They -need not
say where they are, but let their loved
ones know they are well and how they
are getting along. How many thous
and mothers have been made to utter
the sad pathetic words: "Where is my
wandering boy tonight? Go search for
him where you will and bring him to
me with all his blight and tell him that
I love him still." A mother's love and
a father's devotion are as long as all
eternity. Broader than this world, and
there is no land so distant, no pathway
so cold but what a mother's feet would
tread that way, a father's weary efforts
would lead that way until they come
in the presence of the one who wan
tiered off. A good boy can do better at
his own home and in the community
where he was raised than he can do
anywhere else on earth. A bad boy
can do well nowhere. Latitude and
longitude and. geographical position
does not determine the well doing of a
fellow. Character alone settles the
question with him.
The judge of our circuit court related
the following incident to me a few days
ago. tight or ten boys were indicted
in his court as railroad tramps for rid
ing trains, every, one of whom were
strangers to him and from different
towns and (tates in the union. They
were convicted and he sentenced them
simply to pay the cost or to three
months' imprisonment. None of them
could pay their fine and all went to the
chaingang. Some of them have broken
down in their prison life and have writ
ten to their parents at home of their
condition and their parents sent the
money to pay their fines and bring
them home. One of them, a son of a
poor widow, who earned the money to
pay her boy's fine at the wash tub. One
of those boys lived in the Btate of Ten
nessee, one in the city of Atlanta, of
respectable family, another one in
North Carolina. The others are still in
the chaingang, some of them, perhaps,
have no parents to whom they can
write or friends who will come to their
relief, and others perhaps are too stub
born and proud to let their condition
be known at borne. This is only one
of the many instances where courts are
compelled to punish the wandering
boys.
I noticed that the police of Atlanta
took up a young Arkansas boy the
other day and the little fellow broke
down and told his history and the
family to which he belonged and his
parents were notified of his where
abouts. There is no more commend
able work in cities by detectives and
policemen than the arrest and deten
tion of strarge boys, and they ought to
give themselves more diligently to the
work of finding out the name and the
home of every stray boy in every city.
Lock him up until he gives his identity.
In this way they may save many a boy
to bis home and bis mother and save
him from wreck and ruin. Cartersvilll,
like other towns, has been contributing
to the number who have wandered off..
If a Cartersville boy who is away from
home shall read these words let him in
stantly sit down and write and tell the
loved ones at home how he is, and how
he is getting along. So many of these
wandering bays are killed by trains and
other accidents and maybe the loved
ones naver hear ol wJpe or how they
went.- Ii boys could see it was a crime
thus to make mother and loved ones
suffer, and how cruel it is to give no
tidings of themselves of those rho are
anxious and who are s!l the time think
iog of them by day and dreaming of
them by night.
There is scarcely act that entails so
innch punishment upon the innocent
as the crime of running away from
men. When a boy leaves home and
wanders off the mother goes to bed and
suffers. The fatLer is troubled and
worried so be is scarcely fitted for the
business of bis life. The vacant chair
at the table, the pillow on which no
head rested the night before, his chair
in the sitting room, his voice heaid no
more a thousand things remind the
lovedjnes of the absent one. I say
again, come home boys, come home,
but if yof will not come home, sit down
and write father and mother and tell
them how it goes with you, whether
you tell where you, are or not.
These weird, miserable novels,
whether high-class or low-class novels,
furnish the incentive and motive for
many a boy to leave home and the
company he gets in when he is once
gone is such that he soon falls in with
their ways and goes to the bad before
be scarcely realizes at all what he has
done. I heard a fellow talking the
other day how he and his young brother
ran away from home because their
father whipped them; how they spent
one night away and the next day went
back home. They were only gone a
little over twenty four hours but he
said when he got back he found his
mother in bed sick and he said I believe
if we had staid a week mother would
have been dead when we got 'home.
He said: "We were not at home an
hour before mother was up and rejoic
ing over the fact that her boys had
come back "
What must be the suffering of a
home where boy has been gone a
month cr a year and sent no tidings
back. Honor tby father and thy
mother, boys, and thy days shall be
long upon the land which the Lord,
thy God, giveth thee. No child can
dishonor his parents and do well here
or hereafter. Let a boy suffer anything
before he will wound his mother or do
dishonor to bis father. These infernal
novels with their weird lies and cor
torted characters have made a fool of
many a boy and started him on a
tramp to the devil and the dogs.
In the State of Mississippi a runaway
boy, who was then a young man, came
to me and told me that he had been a
runaway for more than five years, that
he had never written a line to his
father or mother, and asked me did I
know his father and mother, telling me
the town and county where they lived
I said: "Yes, I know them well." He
said: "Will you write to them for me
and see if they will let me come back
to see them." I did so, and when he
did come back to his Georgia home
there was a regular camp-meeting,
picnic and May festival all combined.
I can never forget how eagerly that boy
looked into my face when he was ask
ing me about his parents. Five years
is too long, boys, to keep quiet. Then,
mother may be dead, father buried,
and the mischief you have done can
never be undone. Come back, now,
boys, or write immediately. God alone
can measure the depth and breadth of
a parent's love for a wandering child.
would that every boy who has run
away from his home could realize how
deeply he has wounded and how fear
fully he has lacerated the heart and
feelings of those who loved him best
would that every editor of every paper
in the United States would catch up
this refrain and write on the subject of
the sacred duty of runaway boys to
come or to write back to their parents
at home. You could serve your coun
try no better, gentlemen, than to sound
the bugle blast down the line so that
every wandering boy could hear or
read your words. s The prodigal boy in
bygone years came to himself and im
mediately he started for home. There
was the fatted calf killed, there were
shoes for bis feet, a robe for his back,
and a welcome that did his heart
good. Come back, boys, come back.
Yours truly,
Sam P. Jones
THE LEGISLATE RB.
Baleigh, N. C, Jan. 24. Bills were
introduced in both branches to relieve
the State board of agriculture of oon-
Uributing further to current expenses of
the A. 4 M. College, They now con
tribute (10,000 to this purpose.
Senator Sinclair introduced a bill to
provide a meeting place in every county
for Confederate veterans. Odell's bill
increasing fourth-class pensions to 120
is the special order for Friday.
Senator Forehee's bill for the regula
tion ol passenger fares on railroads is
one of the briefest introduced this
sion. It stipulates that passenger fare
on railroads in North Carolina shall be
three cents unless otherwise fixed by
the corporation commission and that
second class fare shall bs abolished.
Senator Ward's bill to amplify the
Watts Act is understood to have the
endorsement of Senator Simmons and
other party leaders. It forbids the
manufacture (not the sale) of liquor in
towns less than 1 1,500 inhabitants; no
saloon to be permitted in any town
where no municipal government is
maintained and at least two policemen
employed, these policemen to visit sa
loons at least once a week and inspect
with a view of ascertaining whether the
law is being violated, policemen mak
ing reports in writing to the Mayor,
who in turn gives them to the solicitor
at each court Also that in towns
where liquor is not allowed to be re
tailed it may be sold not only on pre
scription but on certificate of the head
of the family that some member of the
family is ill, it being a misdemeanor
for the head of the family to make a
false certificate.
Brutally Tortured.
A case came to light that for persistent
and unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Joe Golobick, of
Colusa, Calif, writes, "For 15 years I
endured insufferable pain from Rheu
matism and nothing relieved me though
I tried everything known, I came across
Electric Bitters and it's the greatest med
icine on earth for that trouble. A few
bottles of it completely relieved and
cured me." Just as good for Liver and
Kidney troubles and general debility.

Buzzards Carry Germ.
Raleigh Post.
A cruasde against buzzards has been
begun and the foes of these carrion birds
tried to influence au influential repre
sentative to introduce a bill for their ex
termination. A price is to be placed on
the heads of every buzzard and the pop
ulation of the State is invited togogun-
nirg.
Two professors at the A. and M. Col
lege here, who have been studying these
matters, have, with scientific light be
fore them, agreed that the buzzard is
nat the useful scavenger the unsophis
ticated populace suppose. In fact, they
are convinced that the big black bird
does more harm than good, and the
indictment is that buzzaids scatter all
kinds of disease, and for the protection
of humanity should not be permitted
to live. With this information at hand
these professors approached the leading
farmer member of the House and re
quested him to introduce this exter
mination measure. But the represen
tative was not prepared to so easily sur
render his faith of a life time in the
buzzard's usefulness, and he baa flatly
refused to even make a move to repeal
the present law against killing buzzards.
So unless some representative is willing
to run the risk of acquiring an undesir
able nickname by introducing an anti
buzzard bill these scavengers will con
tinue to enjoy the protection of the
laws of North Carolina.

It really looks at if ex-Mayor McCue,
of Charlottesville, Va., is to suffer the
death penalty. It is quite a remarkable
case when the prominence of the pris
oner is considered. His wife was killed
last fall September or October. He
was arrested next day. In a few weeks
he was tried and convicted and senten
ced to hang today, the 20th. The
Court of Appeals refused a writ of error
and the only hope seems to be in ex
ecutive clemency. The Governor has
granted a respite until February 10th
but there seems to be no reason to
hope that the Governor will commute
the sentence or grant further delay.
McCue was convicted on circumstantial
evidence but very strong evidence; it is
generally believed that he is guilty and
there is no good reason why he should
escape. But it is such a rare thing for
one of MoCue's prominence to be pun
ished so promptly, if punished at all,
that one can hardly realize that he is to
be executed. He made a great mistake
in not acquiring a residence in North
Carolina and bringing his victim down
here before committing the crime. He
would have been reasonably safe here.

The Original Remedy that
SOME MEN DON'T CARE. Some men are so in
different to hair loss that they pay no attention what
ever to dandruff and itching scalp. But, later when in
curable baldness comes they will waste time and money
in a vain endeavor to overcome the result of their own
neglect.
THERE WAS A TIME. There was a time when it
was considered quite proper to ridicule and make light
of the germ theory but it isn't good taste to do it now,
when municipal governments are sending for scientific
men to suppress germ contagion. Prof. Unua (ask your
doctor about him) was the first to discover the dandruff
microbe and now dermatologists the world over know
that true dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a
germ.
THE GUINEA. Pld PROVED IT. Drs. Lassar and
Bishop, both noted scientists, took dandruff scales from
the head of a student who was losing his hair and hav
ing made a pomade of them with vaseline, rubbed the
same upon a guinea-pig and the pig became bald. (See
George Thomas Jackson, M. D , on Diseases of the Skin,
4th Edition.) Newbro's Herpicide should be used at the
first suggestion of dandruff or itching scalp. It prevents
scalp infection, robs the public hair brush of its power
to do harm, and never fails to cure dandruff and stop
falling hair.
THE LADIES KNOW. The ladies are quick to dis
cover any diseased condition of the hair, for with them,
the natural impluse of Denervation applies particularly ,
to Nature's Charming Adornment. When the hair be
comes dull, brittle or lusterless it shows that the dan
druff microbe bas planted itself in the scalp and is sap
ping the hairs' vitality. In time it will cause dnndrnff,
itching scalp ana falling nair. mis
condition calls for the immediate use of
Newbro's Herpicide. The wonderful
effect of the very first application shows
that it will destroy the cause after
which the hair will grow as nature intended.

r DISEASED HAIR EFFECTS FACIAL EXPRES
SION. The face is a mirror of the mind and many wo
mon lose their youthful appearance by booding over
some physical misfortune that might be remedied. Last
ing beauty comes from the consciousness that both hair
and skin are perfectly healthy, as nature gave them,
and: this form of beauty Bhows through even the most
irregular features. A womau may be perfect in form
and her completion may rival the color of a rose, but if
it is her misfortune to have scant or lifeless hair, that
misfortune will continually wound her pride and be re
flected in her face. To such women Herpicide is a posi
tive delight. It gives confidence by quickly producing
the "correct" effect. Makes the hair light, fluffy and
gives it an indescribable charm. A single trial will con
vince. Contains no oil or grease, will not stain or dye.
