HIS SISTER NOT DEAD.
But Dr. Murphy Rushed to see Her
Summoned by Erroneous Wire?
Monday morning Dr. J. L.
Murphy received a wire saying
that his sister, Mrs. - Dora Darr,
who lives near Thomasville, and
who has been very ill was dead
Dr. Murphy caught No. 36 on
his way to the home of his sister
She had been quite ill »nd he was
prepared to hear bad news.
When he reached Thomasville
the railroad agent met him, and
asked him if he had received a
second telegram before leaving
Hickory! He said he had nor
and learned that a second mes
sage had been sent informing ,
him that Mrs. Darr was still alive.
The unfortunate error occured
this way. Mrs. Darr became
v;orse and her brother went to
see her. While away he was
called up by his son over the
phone and was asked: "How is
aunt?" "Your aunt is bad," was
the reply, and the young man
understood it: "Your aunt is
dead", and at once telephoned
other relatives. One of these
had promised to keep Dr. Mur
phy posted about his sister's
condition and at once sent him
the hasty message.
Mrs. Darr was surprised to see
Dr. Murphy but he had a de
lightful day with her, and found 1
her rejoicing in the Christian !
hoDe as her end approaches.
Are Holy Rollers a Religious De
nomination. i
Newton correspondence Observer, Btli. '
The July term of Catawba su
perior court for the trial of crim- i
inal and civil cases opened this 1
morning with Judge Lyon pre- 1
riding. The dockets are not very 1
heavy. One of the state cases
promises to be interesting. Sev- ,
eral men stand indicating for
raising a disturbance at a "Holy j
Roller" service out in the coun- (
try and it is said that the defense
will raise the question as to
whether this sort of service is
really a religious service.
The Holy Roller sect has been
operating at several points in the
country for months, and a com
pany is now in Newton. Wonder- ,
ful stories are told of their "un
known tongue," "holy dance"
and "holy rolling" ceremonies,
The service here last night was
characterized by astounding do
ings, and whatever the courts 1
may decide the majority of the
people have already passed judg
ment and in their minds it is
neither religious nor a "service".
Seized with the spirit, men and ;
women dance, roll about on the
ground, and babble meaningless ,
words. Sick people are prayed
over, doctors being forbidden,
the Lord is asked to remove the
grass from the crops, it is said,
and those who have had occasion
to observe the goings on, have
many a story to tell of this truly
remaikable people.
' Resolutions of Sympathy.
Resolutions of sympathy passed
by the Chamber of Commerce in
session assembled for our friend
and co-worker, Mr. A. K. Joy,
in the death of his beloved wife:
Resolved: First, That we ex
tend to him ou*- tender sympathy
in his great loss, and do assure
him of the earnest solicitude of
his many friends in this com
munity.
Second. That we bow in rever
ence and humility to Him who
has called her from her earthly
cares to the bliss of the heavenly
home, and that we thank our
Heavenly Father for the gift of
this noble Christian life in Our
midst.
Third: That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family,
and one be printed in the town
papers.

Granite as a County Seat.
Granite Falls correspondence Greens
boro News.
A movement is on foot to form
the new county of Granite by
taking a part of Caldwell and
Burke counties. The county seat
would be Granite Falls, which
will be the centre of the new
county. It is understood that a
large number of people in the
boundry that the new county
would take in are in favor of it
as no part of the county would
be over ten miles from Granite
Falls the county seat, while it is
20 miles to Lenoir and Morgan
ton, the present county seats.
Both political parties have agreed
not to support any candidate for
representative that was not in
favor of forming the new coun
ty. *

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few yeais was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease ard pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu- \
tional disease, and therefore requires |
constitutional treatment. Hall's j
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & CQ., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly

PER?
Answer Before Reading This.
Some people have worms and often
don't know it. The doctor is too po
lite to- tell them. Here are some of
the symptoms: A sick feeling in chest,
choakig cough with tendency to gag,
.sudden uneasiness and pains in stom
ach, itching arounl corners of nose.
All these, and more, indicate worms.
An irratable temper is one of the surest
signs of Worms in adults and children.
King's Vermifuge is the cure, and
it is sure. For very young children
give King's worm candy, which is
pleasant——tastes good. Children like
it. The price for each is 25 cents.
