February 18th 1915 It seems a pity for these fre quent clashes between Judges and Lawyers at the bar surely their duties cannot be so well defined or else why, the legis lature of North Carolina should draw a line of demarkation of a matter of justice to all concern ed. It now so often happens that a Judge can for the slightest pretense call a Civilian or Lawyer down for alleged contempt and imposed penalties that are by no means in keeping with the of fense. A Judges power is much greater than is required to com pel respect for the judiciary. And while discussing we diverge a little to the otten practiced me thod of lawyers in brow heating and impertinent insulting wit nesses that it is allowed is an in- jsult to our courts, grave biting I injustice witness. Germany may declare a block ade of water surrounding Eng land, but can she enforce it,? that is a question easier asked than answered. It is possible, that Germany will have some of her big ships pounded to pieces when she begins the game, and will find her self utterly help less. The ladies, the dear ladies, the short haired ladies, ami long lip- ed ladies, have been holding down the boards in Colorado for about 20 years, or enjoying the right of suffrage for about that length of time and yet it is said that Colorado is one of the worst governed state of any in the Union.lt is a great sacrafice that the major portion of women are called upon to make just in order that a few bold bad shes may be heard in public. After reading Judge Frank Carter’s explination in the con tempt of solicitor Abernethy at Now Bern last week ,we are fully inclined to believe that Judge Carter is in the right. The pos ition he takes seems perfectly defensable. While we could not go into details in reference to the matter without ccmsuming very much more space in our paper than the matter would seem to warrent We are strong ly inclined to believe that the solicitor is much in error. There has been a great deal of discussion among the daily and weekly newspapers of the State in regard to the election of the county board of education by the people. At first sight this idea seems democratic and the right thing, but when we begin to consider the subject more seriously and to analyze it more closily. we can plainly forsee that such a step would be to let down a gap for politics to enter into our educational system, and the schools, as well as the churches should forever keep clear from politics. The compensation that would be paid to the various boards of aducation—if there should be so meagre, that it w’^ould not warrant the best men to sacra fice their business to make the race, hence it w’ould, in our op inion, result in too many instan ces of the election of incompe tent men. Then on the other hand tnere might be instances when a man would seek the office in order to usurp his au thority in discriminating in favor of his own commuiiitv. By the election of these men by a popu lar vote, we could not get the best men—men who would in an unbiased way properly ex ercise their authority for the welfare of the people at large. TAKING THE CURE. Iwhat does $5.00 A WEEK MEAN TO YOU? Braphic Pen Picture of Carlsbad and its Dyspeptics. MUD BATHS AND VILE WATER The United States has virtually issued an ultimatum to Germa ny, and Great Brittian warning them against interfering with the shipping of the United States, or endangering the lives of American Citizens, Germany threatened to establish a danger zone all around the British Isle, The fact of it is she could not do it, She can not maintain a block ade in English water, and she knows it, but she could make a threat, that she thought would frighten away American ship ping, It is the most sensible thing the United states has done since the war. The Norfolk Pilot has an Edi torial under the caption of “Theory Exploaded” in which it undertakes to controvert the idea that battle smoke make clouds and rain follows, or that the firing of big guns would bring rain, We are not so sure of this, snoke make clouds clouds make rain, a violent concusion in the air cause an under vibration in the air and sometimes a great fall of rain, perhaps you have never noted a down pour of rain right after a violent clap of thunder, a lightning stroke. All of them refute the theory. It strikes us as it has always struck us since the beginning of the .present European war, that the gun makers, the pow der makers, the automobile automobile men, and wheat pit men are too anxious for the doll ar of the bilignerant to care much for how precarious a po sition it puts the United States in to insist on selling supplies to the nations that are at war. This is very much of a commercial nation, in fact it makes money the first consideration and nation have the second, Germany would be delighted to push us in a racket with Great Brittian, and The Heroes. In that Valhalla where the heroes po j A careful sentinel paced to and fio j Before the g:ate, burned black with I battle smoke, Whose echoes to the tread of armed men woke. And up the fiery stairs whose steps are spears Came the pale heroes of the blood stained years. There were lean Caesars froni the glory fields With heart that only to a sword thrust yields; A.nd there were Generals decked in pride of rank, Red scabbard swineinp: from the weary flank; And slender youths, who were the sons of kings. And barons with their sixteen quar- terings. And while the nobles went with haughty air The courteous sentinel questioned: “Who goes there?” And as each came, full instantly he cried j His string of titles, ere he passed in side. I And presently there was a little man, j A silent mover in the regal van. I His hand still grasped his rifle, and I his eyes : Seemed blinded with the light from ^ Paradise, He was a humble guise, a modest air— ! The sentinel held him sharply: “Who j goes there?” I There were no gauds tacked to that I simple name, i But every naked blade leaped out like I flame, j And f very blue blood worrier bowed i his head. i “I am a Belgian,” this was all he 1 said. ! Men’s cheering echoed through the I battle’s hell; j “Pass in mon brave,” said that wise I sentinel. —London Spectator. Recognized Advantages. You will find that Chamberlain's Cough ReiTiedy has recognised advan tages overmost medicines in use for coughs and colds. It does not suppress a cough but loosens and relieves it. It aids expectoration and opens the sec retions, which enables the system to throw off a cold. It counteracts any tendencv of a cold to result in pneu monia. It contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. For sale by Mebane Drug Co. The Victim* Drink.Often and Drink Deep and Absorb With the Evil Bre>^ Large Doses of Misery—An Un- pleasant and Odstly Road to Health, A city shaped like a cup, a cup con taining hot water. The sides of tha city are clothed with pines, and in the hollow lie the waters where the dys peptics of the world foregather to drink and to be healed. They desire to be freed from excess of fat, from yel low skins, from pains that catch one In the small of the back and from the stiff joints that follow hard upon the pleasures of the too abundant board. In Carlsbad you drink often and drink deep. Drinking is your main occupation. Your drinking glass la Btrapped over your shoulders as yon wander, sipping from spring to spring IS assiduously as any one bee. but /ou do not get honey. Your misery begins at 0. At G o’clock they call you, and you are expected to bo shaved and decent before you face the world of waters and of misefable sinnei's at 7 o’clock. If you had not been a miserable sinner, too, yoij would not be here, but you have done those things you ought not to have 4one and you have left undone thos« things yon ought to have done, and your penalty Is Carlsbad. So you take your place at the end of a queue 300 dyspeptics long and wish you were dead. You yery nearly are, for no “morning tea” sustains you; they forbid that; It is strictly against the law. You take your turn at the “Spru- dol” spring uncomforted by the cook. Everything contributes to your misery. A German close behind you is tread ing on your heels and breathing loudly down your neck, and a gentleman in a curious top hat is conducting an or chestra with intent to make you merry, He falls. You hate him. And every Baoment you draw nearer to the “Spru- del” spring. It leaps from the bowel* of the earth toward the roof of th^ colonnade shrouded in its own steam, and a girl in waterproof overalls catches you a glassful by means of a long pole. Then you retire to a corner with the evil brew and try to drink it. It tastes of dead rats—hot ones, long dead, i our character may be divined by your method of dealing with it. It may be faced as one faces a pet beverage, '•with an air,” or it may be dallied w’lth In sips—or thrown away. It may beat you altogether, but this is rare. The hardened dyspeptic who does his 3’ear ly “cure’’ has a trick with a little glass pipe. He is imitated by the wise. Aft er the first fell glass you hurry to the little glass pipe stall and buy a little glass pipe for your very own. and half an hour later you brace yourself to gether for the second dose, if yon have sinned deejily you may be order ed even three, but probably you will be let off with two goes of ••Spmdel” and one of something lighter. An hour afterward you may bav^ an inadequate meal of sour milk, one egg and a browny roll that w’ould baf fle a dentist. During the morning you will be required to undergo a bath, possibly of mud, reeking with curative properties and very expensive—as ex- pcnsi'^e as the lunch you would like to have afterward if they would let you. Even as it stands your mockery of a meal, fruit, rice and a bit of a boiled bird climbs up to a total hither to unassociated with such elementary insufficiencies. At 4 o’clock you drink more water. At 10 the long day closes with a final gulp, and the dinner inter vening is beneath the dignity of words —of any wo ds. Sixty thousand of the sorrowful sub ject themselves to these penalties year ly every summer. But in spite of the 60,000 you will probably be a lonely soul in Carlsbad. Its dietetic system does not make for sociability or mirth. But as the days go by the pink hues of health begin to return to your cheek, your color ceases to be drab and your temper becomes less vile. You find you can tolerate your fellow man with some degree of coiu’tesy even when he breathes dow’n 3'our neck and clears his throat in the region of your ear. There is less of Hamlet about you and more of Puck, for your days are ordered now more in conformity with nature’s plan and your reward is an equability that Is foreign to the life of broken laws in the place from w’hence you came. For two or three weeks this quickening process will develop and continue until in the exuberance of health you return to your land. When you are not here Carlsbad puts its shutters up and goes away to cure Itself of the tedium of having cured you, and by the time It has finished with you its coffers are quite com fortably stocked against a holiday, for you were not a “cureguest” for noth ing. Still you were cured, and a cure Is always cheap. But on the whole perhaps it would have been cheaper if you had kept the law.—London Mail. Bank $5.00 a week at the Mebane Bank and Trust Co., and at the end of 52 weeks you have $260 00 in your Ac count here At the end of only 10 years you have $2,600. $2 600.00? Yes!

The fiery cross was an ancient sum* mons to arms used in the Scottish Highlands, and was sent by swift mes* sengors from place to place. It was a small cross of light wood, the extremi ties of which were set on fire, and then dipped in the blood of a goat. This custom is said to have also been in use tha CALOMEL IS MflTCflfY!

Take no more Bick- ening, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don’t lose a day’s work! Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones.

A steady hand in military affairs is more requisite than in peace, because En error committed in war may prove j irremediable.—Lord Bacon. i ‘*The Bijst Laxative I I Know Of.” I “I have sold Chamberlain’s Tablets j for several years.

I I “Coming events cast their shadows before.” This is especially true of bil ious attacks. Your appetite will fail, you will feel dull and languid.
