C. as second claim mail matter The death of Ex-Senator Car mack of Tennessee is a striking illustration of lawlessness. There is good reason for saying that here in our own section there are many people who have too little regard for the law. The remedy is in the schools and churches of the land. There must be a gen eral uplifting of society and a higher sense of moral obliga tion implanted in the mind of the general public before this lawless spirit is suppressed. The remedy is with the schools and churches. llev. W. H Uradshaw is hold ing a revival meeting in the Bap tist church in this city this weelc. The people aro attending well and indications now are that the meeting will do much good. Mr. Uradshaw is one of the best known and loved ministers in the state. Ho is not orAv a scholar and a gentleman but he is a speak er and orator of no mean ability and never fails to draw large congregations to hear him. Court at Oobaon. The regular fall term of court will commence at Dobson next Monday Nov. 23, with Judge W. Is. Council, of Hickory, presid ing. The term is for two weeks and there is enough business to occupy the entire term. There will be the usual list of petty criminal cases to be tried and John Holyfield will be tried for killing Luther Norman a few days ago. This case will prob ably take up a day or two of the time. Holyfield will be defended by U. C. Freeman and Watson and IJuxton, of Winston, while 1. W. I'olger has been retained to assist the prosecution. As many as one hundred and fifty civil cases are on the docket to be heard at this term. The edi tor of The News will be there the first three days and give the people a detailed account of the proceedings. President Roosevelt has a com mission down here investigating the conditions of our people as to health, etc. They claim that they are finding conditions such that it will open the eyes of all thinking men when the reports are made public. The truth wont hurt... and, if conditions are bad Mule Killed. We made mention last week of the falling of the bridge over Stewarts Creok 4 miles west of this town and of the injury to the team of mules and driver who were on the bridge at the time it fell. Mr. Gravely, the driver, is not hurt much but one of the mules was so badly bruised up that it could never be of any ser vice. The bones in one leg were crushed. So it was shot and put out of its misery. It was a fine animal and was worth as much as $200.00. Mr. N. D. Hill, one of the county commissioners tells us that the county is not liable for any damage that was caused. The people in that part of the county asked for a donation of $250.00 to help pay for the bridge and that the county has never considered that it was doing any thing only helping out a private enterprise and that the county is not responsible for the damage. lobacco is selling for about 10 cts,,average in this town some day3 the average is higher. All indications now point to contin, ued good prices ATTcTIf the -farm t ers will not rush their tobacco on the market in such quantities that the buyers cannot handle it they will put money in their own pockets. It could do no harm and would be no reflection on anyone for the town authorities to investigate the cause of the death of two children the same night and when they were supposed to be in good health To say the least it is u remarkable case. The day is not far distance when you will be thought of as a criminal for not sending that little boy 0 girl to school. You have no moral right to neglect the development of its little mind4 Rev. D. Vance Price, who left here last Tuesday for Asheville to attend the Annual session of Conference, has closed an unus ually successful year as pastor of Central Methodist church this "city from a financial point of lew. He left here with every J -i i i aouar paia up wmcn means a great deal considering that the conference collections have been increased three hundred dollars in the past year. The collections amounted to more than nine dol lars per capita on the member ship of the church and it is ex ceedingly doubtful if there is another church in the conference which has done so well. Mr. Price, by hard work and close ap plication to church affairs, is largely responsible for these con ditions and the entire population of the city, regardless of denom ination, earnestly desire his return.

Simpson. Nor. 14 1908 R, L. Sfrapeon. li. alanoa Country Life Reviewed. Raleigh Dispatch. Governor Glenn and the coun cil of State .went out to-day to the Agricultural and Mechanical College to meet President Roose velt commission, on eotUfclry life, an at Mr. u i cu, a wen Known newspaper man and editor of an agricultural paper, were pre sent, two other members of the commission being at Athens Ga. and yet another, Gifford Pinchot, having returned to Washington, D. C. There were more than 150 per sons present at the hearing by the commission, of which Mr. Walker Page acted as chairman. With him and Mr. Wallace was Dr. Stiles, an eminent authority in the bacteriological world, and what he had to say was brim full of human interest. There were a number of speakers during the six hours of the meeting or rath er conference, and expression was very full and free, among the speakers being Dr. George T. Winston, James Y. Joyner, Ashley Home, William A. Gra ham, W. A. Withers, James H. Graham, W. A. Withers, James H. Pou, Mrs. W- T. Hollowell, Fred A. Woodward, Clarence H. Poe, Dr. J. M. Templeton, John W. Atwater, Fred A. Olds, Dr. Venable, president of the State University; Charles F. Meserve, Dr. Tait Butler and others. Dr. cutler was a very important speaker, and Dr. Stiles referred to him many of the matters which he had investigated The investigation by Dr. Stiles showed a graat degree of care and that an astonishing large number of persons in the coun try and in the mill settlement have the hook worm disease, and in general their blood vitality is very low. . In s great many cas es this could be told by merely looking at them, but everything was verified by two experts. Df. Stiles has been in great number of farm homes in North Carolina and finds that the inattention to sanitation, great enough among the whites, is simply apallinga mong the blacks, much more than 80 per cent, of the homes of the blacks being without any sanitation whatever. This leads him to males: a verv ' nmitiva I statement the prime promoters have been without instruction iji this important matter, they ate a menace to the whole people oj the State, of whom they form t third of the population. He put this terrible fact in the plainest language. His conclusions wer confirmed by those of Dr. Tait Uutler, a very thoughtful man. Dr. Stiles went on to speak of the great prevalence of typhoid in North Carolina, this State standing twelfth in the census list in this respect. It is found and Dr. Butler confirmed this statement, that this disease, which causes so many deaths, is worst in the mountain districts, where the natural conditions' fa vor the most perfect health. In that region the people use spring water, which too often is pollut ed. Dr. Templeton who is of Cary, this county, and a verv ob servant man, made some inter esting statements, supporting quite strongly much of what Dr. Stiles had said, and he says that in the country districts not one house in fifty wa3 screened a gainst flies which are such terri ble purveyors of disease, notably typhoid fever. Another thing he said which tended to lower the vitality of the people was the constant use of greasy foods, fat meat and soda biscuit. Dr. Stil es said that the United States had m Porto Rica practically stamped out of the hook worm disease, and that it did seem to him that what the government had done there, it could do in the United States proper, and it ought to do it. Mr. Clarence H. Poe, who was especially called on by Chairman Page to give his views, did so in an excellent way. He spoke a- bout the great necessity f teach ing the laws of health in the ru ral schools; the need of postal savings banks, and the parcels post, and the necessity for the general government, whiclrap- ri ft rrv a 7 h n ilo lis u ic For If I will receive this week in my Pawnbrokers department upstairs: 60 Ladies 52 inch long fine Cloaks, $1.50 to $2.00 40 M if sos long fine Cloaks, - - .75 to 1.00 50 Boys fine Overcoats, from 10 to 18 yrs. .75 to 1.25 50 Ladies Eton Waist Jackets, 25 cts. .'100 Mens Overcoat, - - - 1.00 to 2.00 300 Mens clo.se body coats, . - .75 to 1.00 These goods arc very superior to new goods and a great many of these Ladies long wraps and Hoys overcoats are new.

He said that one o the things to be combated as a menace to information, proper life in the country homes and higher ideals, is isolation, now so prevalent. Mr. Poe said that unprofitable work on the farm and isolation had been two o the great drawbacks. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the direct statement made, that the conclusion not to be avoided is that the death rate in the South to-day and in the certain ly recent past is largely due to unsanitary conditions among the negroes. These are facts for every North Carolinian to think about. HIGH PRICES CONTINUE At Christian's. We do not claim to do as well for you as any other house. We do better than any other house The reason we do better is be cause we have the best lighted house in Mt. Airy, the best auc tioneer, and because we work harder for you than any men in Mt. Airy.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other di seases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incura ble. For a f reat many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and pre scribed local remedies, and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constit utional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo Ohio, is the only constit national cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonfuL It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
