QUEEREST PRISON IN WORLD
Arizona County Jail la Blasted Out of
a Mountain of Solid Quartz
Rock.
When the authorities of Graham
county, Arizona, decided to look about
for a place in which to confine crimi
nals, they found a natural depression
in the side of a hill. This was enlarged
into what might be called an artificial
cave, divided into four compartments.
The cave was excavated parallel to the
side of the mountain in which it was
made,, and daylight admitted by holes
blown out of the wall with explosives,
the windows being guarded by a net
work of heavy steel barß. The en
trance to the depression was also
closed in the same manner, and a
vestibule or porch of masonry built
out from It to provide quarters for the
sheriff and his assistants. This vesti
bule is also divided into compart
ments, which are connected by gates
of steel bars. The only way of enter
ing the prison is through the vestibule
of masonry, and in order to escape
the inmates would have to cut their
way through three sets of bars which
are an inch in thickness, as the win
dows are so high up above the rock
forming the floor of the cells that they
could not reach them. It Is necessary,
however, to have a very secure place,
as the criminals in this part of the
country are of a most desperate class,
and the inmates frequently Include
murderers and highwaymen. The
mountain which has thus been turned
Into a prison is composed of solid
quartz rock, and the excavation was
made principally by the use of explo
sives. The jail is located in the town
of Clifton, the county seat.—Wide

Reinforced Conv.-*ete of Old Rome.
Although concrete has been used
tor many centuries, it is generally sup
posed that reinforced concrete is a
modern invention. This, however, has
been disproved, according to Porular
Mechanics by the finding of bronze
reinforcing rods in the concrete »oof
3t an ancient Roman tomb, and in the
discovery of reinforced concrete in
:he construction of one of the walls
3f tne old palace 4 the Louvre, Paris.
The reinforced concrete In the lat
:er dates back only 300 or 400 years,
Dut created much comment because
:he walls were thought to consist en
:irely of ashlar and quarry stone. The
liscovery that the stone casing con
:ealed a core composed in part of ro
tiforced concrete was made while
workmen were piercing the wall for
in elevator installation.
England's Oldest Newspaper.
Besides being the government's best
journalistic property, the London Ga
sette is also the oldest existing Eng
ish newspaper. It published its first
lumber in 1665. In that troubled year
.he court was at Oxford on account of
.he plague and the paper bore the
lame of the Oxford Gazette in conse
luence, not changing to its present
itle until the twenty-fourth number.
Ve can get some idea of the cost of
unning it from the statement of one
if its rivals that the rival's charge for
'entertaining spies for information"
fas $2,500 in the first year.
How To Stop
Stubborn Cough
We don't mean just stop the irri
tation in your throat—but cure the
underlying cause.
Cough syrups cannot do this. It
takes a constitutional tonic body
builder to do the work properly—
and cure you to stay cured. Vinol
is the remedy you need.
HERE IS PROOF
Mrs. Minnie Osgood, of Glens Falls,
N. writes:-" After trying several rem
edies for a bad cough and cold without
benefit, I was asked to try Vinol. It
worked like magic. It cured my cold
and cough and I gained in health and
strength. I consider Vinol the most
wonderful tonic and invigorator I ever
saw."
If we cannot stop that cough
with VlNOL—our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic—which is made
without oil—we will not charge
you a cent for the medicine you
buy. This seems like a pretty fair
proposition—and ought to be ac
cepted. Don't you think so? With
this understanding we ask you to
try a bottle of VINOL.

Prof. Staley's Tribute to Ay
cock.
Written for the Democrat.
The last words of- Charles B.
Aycock, just as he passed in the
great beyond, were these; 1
have determined, if such a thing
is possible, to open the doors of
the schools to every child.'' His
death was a fitting end to a life
spent in the cause of education.
He died as he had lived, filled
with the lofty purpose of giving
the benefits of education to every
child.
It wis not given him to see the
accomplishment of this high pur
pose, or to see the fruition of
his hopes. But it was given him
to see a great educational move
ment, and to be a mighty leader
in this movement. He set in
motion forces which will goon in
every-widening circles of in
fluence, He could have said
with Horace, "Exegi monumen
tum aere perennius." I have
built a monument more lasting
than bronze."
The mantle of this great edu
cational leader should fall cn us,
and we should catch the same
enthusiasm which led him to
give his best efforts to the cause
of universal education. If the
future history of our state is to
be what we have it to be,
we must determine that the
| schools shall be open to every
child. We must catch the vision
of what it will mean to North
Carolina to educate every child
within her borders. We must
come to realize that the most im
portant thing we can do is to pro
vide for the education of every
child in Hickory, every child in
Catawba county, every child in
North Carolina.

Residence Burned
The residence of Mr. E. C.
Burns on Brookford street was
burned to the ground Tuesday.
The furniture and household
goods were nearly all saved The
fire company responded quickly,
but owing to the distance from
the water line, before hose could
be gotten to the house the .fire
was beyond control.
Mrs. Burns was preparing din
ner when the fire originated
somewhere in the overhead ceil
ing. It is supposed that it caught
from a defective stove flue.
Mr. Burns had sold the prop
erty only a fewdajs ago to Mr.
E. L. Shuford. The loss is partly
covered by $4OO insurance.
By the heroic efforts of the
firemen, the residence of Mr, P.
E. Reinhardt, adjoining Mr.
Burns, was saved by keeping the
roof covered with wet blankets.

Napoleon on Shakespeare.
It is a fact that the great emperor
>f the French had a very poor opinion
»f Shakespeare's plays. According to
Thibaudeau, in his "Bonaparte and the
Consulate," Napoleon said one day:
'Shakespeare was forgotten even by
.he English for two hundred years, un-
J1 Voltaire took it into his head to
yrite him up, to please his English
riends; and ever since people have
cone about repeating that Shake
ipeare was the greatest author that
iver lived. I have read him, and there
B nothing in him that approaches
Jorneille or Racine. His plays are
tot worth reading."
TRUTHFUL REPORTS.
Hickory Reads Them With
Uncommon Interest.
A Hickory citizen tells his experi
ence in the following statement. No
better evidence than this can be had.
The truthful reports of friends and
neighbors is the best proof in the
world. Read and be convinced.
Mrs. A. Wezen, 1443 Ninth Ave.,
Hickory, N. Car., says: "Doan's
Kianey Pills proved beneficial to me
and Ido not hesitate to recommend
them. My kidneys were out of order,
and I suffered from backache. I
finally used Doan's Kidney Pills pro
cured at Moser& Lutz Drug Store and
they made me strong and well. This
remedy gives quick relief."
The above statement must carry
cenviction to the mind of every read
er. Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy —ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. We
zen had —the remedy backed by home
testmony. 50c all stores. Foster-Mil
