The' Better Way _ ~>■ The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita tion—more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation—for a while. You take SCOTT'S EMULSION and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. It soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. WE'LL SEND YOU A SAMPLE FREE. SCOTT & BOWNE, Mir IN FORSYTH GO. Concord, N. C., Oct. 19. —The Trib une's correspondent sends the paper a special this morning telling of what may be a great thing for the county, the finding of natura: oil in the heart of the town of Mount Pleasant. For some time the well at Mount Amoena Seminary has been filling with oil and it was thought that some one was out of meanness pouring oil into the well. It become so full of oil that an examination led to the belief that the oil is a natural flow and is genuine kerosene. The further examination of the discovery will be watched with great interest. The find may turn an educational center into a great oil field. SECURED IMMIGRANTS. Mr. Fisher Returns From Trip Abroad —Number of Settlers Secured. Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 21. —Mr. C. L. Fisher, general agent of the Caro lina Trucking Development Company, which has done so much toward build ing up the waste places of eastern North Carolina, and which has been quite successful in attracting to this section a desirable class of immigra tion, arrived in the icity yesterday from a four months' tour abroad, where he has been in the interest of the com pany by which he is engaged. Most of his time was spent in Neth erlands, Germany and Austria, with a full montn in northern Italy, where the most fertile field for his endeavors were found, and from which section of the sunny isle he succeeded in at-, trading the most desirable class of! immigration, and 91 families, constitu-! ting 450 people, manifested a sufficient interest to guarantee their coming to! this country to live within the next 1 few weeks, when they will settle at the ! St. Helena colony, already established near Burgaw, in Pender "county. Mr. Fisher will remain in the city with the Carolina Trucking Develop ment Company for some time, and with the officials of the company will continue the work they have begun so auspiciously. The efforts mean much, not only for eastern Carolina but for. the whole state and the south.

In 1678, Christian Huygens, a Dutch mathematician, worked out a theory cf the undulation of light in an ether, which was a conveying me dium and which might explain the phenomena of light. Before he started on this theory of the undula tion of the ether scientists and phi losophers had worked over the prob lem of that transcendental thing which enveloped them and through which sounds were carried and im-' ages presented. In the history of wireless tele graphy, by A. Frederick Collins, it is pointed out that at least a thousand years before Christ the question was at issue whether the interstellar space was filled with a substance, a fluid filling matter. Huygens struck the first practical note, and Michael Faraday, in 1845 held to the Huygens undulatory theory by a firm belief in its event ual practical realization, began to ex periment. He succeeded in estab lishing the fact of an all-pervading medium. Faraday was followed by James Clark Maxwell, who, in 1801, systematized Faraday's conception with his electro-magnetic theory ol light, a theory which means that light, electricity, and magnetism are transmitted by the same ether at an identical rate of speed. The next step toward wireless com munication was made in the study of 1 wave motions. Hertz was the first to employ the term electric radation. He used the term, Collins points out,, to describe the waves emitted from a 1 Leyden jar. They have been called j Hertzian waves ever since. Hertz's discovery Prof. Joseph Henry, of Washington, D. C., had succeeded in magnetizing needles at a distance. He used a frictional machine on the floor of his house and magnetized needles on the floor below. This was sending electrical power through the air with a practical demonstra tion of its passing. With the discovery that the air was a means of conveyance for electricity came the effort to produce electric discharges. Sparks were produced as early as 1002, but they were so small that they could be barely seen with the naked eye. In 1745 came the dis covery and development of a jar in which electricity could be stored — the Leyden jar. Then the sparks be gan to fly, and with them, the cer tainty among scientific investigators I of the phenomenon of electricity, that J the passing of a stfark into the air meant a displacement of air and a consequent agitation that might be directed and used. The sparks were made to grow, until Elihu Thompson in 1877 pro duced them sixty-four inches long. Guitard, in 1850, observed in dust ladened air, when electrified, the par ticles of dust cohered into the forms of strings. Here was the first prac tical hint of a path through the void A. S. Varley, in 1800, tried experi ments with a loose mass of dust con taining conducting material as if Jo blaze a highway through the wilder ness of ether. In 1879 Prof. Hughes sent a wire less signal a mile distant, using a microphonic carbon joint as a detec tor of the waves. Hertz, in 18S8, de vised a metal ring for the detection of induction. In 1894 the question of sending signals by the Hertz radia tor and receiving them with his de tector was one that engaged the minds of scientists. Lodge employed a device by which he discovered what he called the coherer. This was named as the result of his observa tion that the action of electricity on metal fillings was coherence, that is, a clustering of the particles to gether. At the rest of the story of how the air was harnessed and made to serve the purposes of mankind in its com munication from continent to conti nent is crammed in the last event ful decade. Marconi as a boy wasj interested in the Hertzian waves and I their control. In his teens he ex-1 perimented in the country place of; his parents, near Pontecchio in Itjily. The first practical system of generat ing and transmitting electric waves through the air was worked out by him in 1890. In 1901 he managed to transmit the letter S from Corn wall to Newfoundland. In 1902 the steamship Philadelphia kept in com-! munication with the Marconi station at Poldhu when out 1,550 miles. At the end of that year communication between the continents was establish ed, but it remained until yesterday to have it in operation so completely in accord with the demands of speed and accuracy that it became a dis tinct commercial and economic factor in the life of today.

Holland, in Lie Philadelphia Pre|s. Yesterday the cable dispatches from London reported; on tlie authority of the foremost expert upon the gold mines of South Africa, that the Rand region contained so much gold that may be easily mined and marketed that it is impossible by any figures to repre sent the amount so that the mind could appreciate the total. According to this estimate there is, at the present bullion value of gold, $5,000,000,900,000 of gold ore remain ing in those mines. As savages cannot reckon much above ten, and as a man of average in telligence has really little comprehens ion of the meaning of a billion, and as only the higher intellect can grasp ab stract mathematics and appreciate the measurements of the celestial bodies, or atomic infinities, it is probable that no human intelligence can more than faintly conceive what $5,000,000,000,000 really means. The statement, however, is of imme diate value only as showing that the apprehensions cf those who feared that the world's available supply of gold would be exhausted some time in this century were groundless. In fact, our own experts agree that the estimate made by Mr. Robertson, the South Af rican mine expert, that the world is really entering upon its gold era rath er than at the end of it. The report of experts brought to this city from the far west of the United States justifies the belief that our own annual gold production in the course of a few years will be much in excess of a hundred millions a year. So, also, the experts who have repre sented the Rothschilds, as well as some American capital in Alaska and contiguous British North America, re port that the gold supply from these regions each year is surely to increase as transportation is provided. Mr. Joseph P. Grace, who recently returned to New York from South America, having spent some six months in the mountainous regions and the up lands between the interior of Peru ana the Argentine Republic, is convinced that as soon as transportation is per fected in South America gold mining there will match that of the United States. Of course, if many millions of gold bo added eacu year to the world's sup ply, that before long will affect the relation of prices to values. A few years ago when Alaska began to produce approximately fifteen mil lions or more a year with promise of increase in each successive year, somej of the economists predicted that this ; together with other American produc tions, would tend to equalize the re- j lation between gold and silver, and j might at last restore the ratio so long J maintainel of 15 1-2 or 16 to 1. But this year, curiously enough, when un- j doubtedly tnere is to be the greatest : gold production ever known in a single year, the price of silver has been de preciated, and its value as well, clear- j ly showing that silver has at last be come nothing more than a commodity, • as much of a commodity as copper or iron or any other metal. The market j price of it is reckoned by the demand I and supply solely. Some of our experts are of the opin-, ion that Mexico, with its increased j production of silver, as well as its I changed standard of money value, ex- j plains to some extent the falling in I price of silver bullion. Yet, notwith- [ standing this depreciation, prospecting continues in Mexico, and information i received today tells of the discovery | of silver ore, not a mere freak de-1 posit, but a well-defined vein in Mex-! ico, carrying a greater amount of sn- j ver than was ever before reported, j Revival at Lenoir. Lenoir, Oct. 22. —The revival meet ing which has been in progress for two 1 weeks at the Methodist church contin ues, and has been transferred from the church to the court house. Henry E. Jones, of Tampa, Fla., j writes: "I can thank God for my pres ent health, due to Foley's Kidney Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds of kid ney cures, but nothing done me much good till I took Foley's Kidney Cure. Four bottles cured me and 1 have no more pain in my back and should- j ers. I am G2 years old, and suffered j long, but thanks to Foley's Kidney. Cure I am well and can walk and en- j joy myself. It is a pleasure to re commend it to those needing a kidney medicine." W. S.

Heins, of Roanoke, Va., is in town in the interest of the proposed new North and South Carolina League which will consist of Charlotte, Greensboro, Wins ton-Salem, Asheville, Salisbury, Ral eigh and Durham, N. C., and Spartan burg and Greenville, S. C. Protection for the territorial rights covering (he territory of Charlotte, j Asheville, Winston-Salem and Greens-, boro has been secured from the na-. tional association, the other towns which will secure berths in the league will be protected later, as at the time of securing protection for the above named teams it was undecided as to what towns were to comprise the cir cuit. Mr. Hein's efforts in arousing enthu siasm here have been very successful. The local fans are delighted over the prospects of securing a berth in the) new league, as it has been 13 years since professional ball has been play ed here. Asheville has always been a good baseball town and it is a foregone con clusion that they will be in the league. At the meeting of the representatives from the various towns which will be held in Salisbury on the 21st of this month, Asheville will be represented by Mr. Heins. Serious Riot In New Orleans New Orleans, OcL 19.—The fanatical | excitement of negroes calling them selves "Council of God," appears to have been the cause of a riot last night, in which one policeman was kill ed, several wounded and a number of negroes badly injured. An isolated house, in which half a dozen negroes barricaded themselves and which was fired upon by the r men and citizens, proves to have ueen the meeting place of the sect. Last night's trouble started during the meeting, when exicted negroes drew; razors on Policeman Cambias because 1 he attempted to enter the house to investigate the reports of disturbance j caused by boys throwing through the windows. Razors were drawn across his face and neck, mortally wounding him. j Many at the meeting then fled. Those who remained and barricaded themselves were well armed and after I the negroes had been smoked into i submission by a burning fence, several shot guns and other fire arms were 1 found under the meeting house.

John Brame,the man who was shot by reve nue officers, died Wednesday. Drame was charged by the officers with oper ating a distillery about three miles from White Oak. About two weeks ago the distillery was broken up, a man by the name of Vicker being captured. Brame was said to be near the place at the time, but was not captured, al though it was stated that some shots were exchanged between him and the officers. x Monday night of last week, the of ficers were out looking for Brame and came across him out near the end of Summit avenue. He at once started to run and it is alleged that he and the officers fired a number of shots. It was not known at the time that Brame was hit. but later it was discovered by a physician who was sent for that he was badly injured, and he was carried to St. Leo's hospital, where he died. The widow of John Brame, this morning swore out warrants charging murder against the officers composing the posse. These were United States Marshal James M. Millikan, Deputy Marshal Baily, Deputy Collector Sheppard, United States Revenue Agent Screven and United States Pension Agent Curty. VThe warrant could not be served on Marshal Milli kan. He having left to attend a friend's Religious National Convention being held in Indiana this week. Ex-Congressman Spencer Blackburn is known to be Mrs. Brame's chief counsel, and he has associates in the prosecution but their names could not be ascertained. State Solicitor Brooks will also rep resent the state in the hearing. It is said that if the magistrate hearing the case should find probable cause for murder, which is not a bailable of fense and the defendants arc commit ted to jail, habeas carpus proceedings will be instituted before United States District Judge Boyd to transfer the case to the Federal court and release them from jail on the ground that the homicide was in the discharge of official duty. United States District Attorney llol ton and Assistant District Attorney Coble will represent the officers, and conduct their defense on the part of the government. George Vickers, who was chargegd with complicity with Brame in illicit distilling and who was captured the night Brame was shot, yesterday plead ed guilty in the Federal court here and was sentenced to 12 months in the Atlanta penitentiary and fined one hun dred dollars. He is Held Murder Charge Richmond, Va., Oct. IS. —A Staunton dispatch to the News-Leader says a second inquest in the matter of the death of Mrs. John E. Cra, formerly a Miss Painter, of Augusta county, who was reported to have killed herself with a shotgun because her husband had been drinking heavily, rested in a verdict holding the husband on the charge of murder, on the testimony of nis 9-year-old daughter, who, while the other children were asleep, said she heard her father say he intended to kill her mother. Many More Defendants Named In Bill Philadelphia. Pa., Oct. IS. —In the amended bill filed by the attorneys for the government in the equity proceed ings against the alleged anthracite coal trust, 45 additional defendants are named. All the new defendants were men tioned in the answer filed by the orig inal defendants, and are named in the amended bill, on the ground that they were connected with the previously named coal roads and mining compa nies by certain financial transactions and coal purchase contracts. BEES TO HELP BUILDING FUND. Store of Honey in Old Church Spire to Go for New Edifice. Burlington, N. J., Oct. IS. —Honey bees will contribute the nucleus for the $40,000 which members cf the First Baptist Church purposes to raise for a handsome new edifice. For years, it is said, bees have ben storing honey in the top of the church steeple, 75 feet above the street, and from the size of the swarms that have been frequent ly noticed it is believed at least a ton of the sweets is stored there. Half of the cost of a new building had been subscribed toward remodel ing the old before trustees decided to entirely rebubild the church. Now it is proposed to raise a new fund entire ly, and members are counting upon a goodly contribution from the bees. But the average man is too selfish really to enjoy life. Review o Market for week New York, Oct. 19—There has been much forced liquidation in the stock market during the week. Many stocks have touched the lowest in several years and sentiment has grown des pondent ovor the speculative outlook. The crash in United Copper and the fcarg* of involvement of the affairs of the Mercantile National bank in the settlement in the position was a fnin cipal factor in the week's an -settlement. The reduction in the Amalgamate! Copper dividend, rejorts cf the discov ery cf rebating practices by the South ern Pacific and f-ars f coming busi nc-: den es ion were complicating fac tors. Tho money i.ia.k.t tightened, principally because of the stricter dis crimination exercised by the banks against collateral. The market closed weak at the low est. A sudden rebound pat some prices over last night but they did not hold. The tone continued uncertain after the appearance of the bank state ment. Heavy accumulation of cash at tributed to precautionary measures by the banks. Amalgamated Copper sold as low at 43% and Reading 82%. Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri can inventor, says: "Fully eighty per cent cf the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-in dulge themselves." This is where in digestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do t\ie work de manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. KoJcl will do this.
