Hyomei the Latest Scientific Dis covery for the Cure of Catarrh, Prior to three. years airo the medl- oines ordinarily employed in the cure of this disease were nauseating " drugs and ' worthless tonics.

The following from the Washington Progress is applicable to the condi tioas that exist in Kinston. The name "Kinston" should be read where "Washington" occurs and the quota tion will fit .

It will help the homes of the city The liquor traffic falls with its heavi est weight upon the women and chll dren of the city. Wherever the drink habit is formed women and children are the greatest sufferers. ' t - 1 2. It will tend to produce higher civic virtue in the city. The influence of the' saloon In politics is one of the mighty evils of the times and its bale- rful influence is seen and felt in Wash ingion ai every primary and every election; wih the whiskey men every thing Is surbordlnate to the saloon. ' 3. It will remove a constant tempta tion lor the boys and young men of the city. Saloons entice them when they would not become addicted to the habit Saloons have Jtoo great a hold on the young men of this city. This is a deplorable fact but it is true. 4. It will materially reduce the tax on the property, and that is needed here. - Every vote" east against the saloon is for the lower taxes. , ' ; 5. It will help the Industrial 'life of the city. It has truly been said that the saloon Is the greatest disorganizer of labor. Men who are engaged in these enterprises, whether as owners or employees, should exert themselves to remove the saloons and their cor rupting and demoralizing influences. Better Than Pills.

Strond Engage in Tujet Practice HAD BEEN DIYORCED FROM STRODD And Returned to Get Her Children When an Altercation Resulted in Shooting by Both. - m, t i ... i yesterday's Daily Free Press, par tpulars of which could not be given i( shown to have been a double shoot Jng in which both parties concerned ere wounded but not seriously. 2 The oiroustanoes as gathered from we statement of each participant seem tp be about as follows: 1 Mr. J. R. Stroud and the woman wlo is now Mrs. Richard Ward, were aone time married and two years kgt) Mr. Strou4 secured a divorce from her, the court giving him charge of the t0 children. I He married again and so did she and she was after him for the children yesterday and after having some words with him in Kinston hired a horse and buggy and drove out to Mr. Stroud's, nrtsumablv to brinsr the children awav wto her. Mr. Stroud says he antici pated such a move and hitched up his team and drove rapidly home and got there before the woman. She came up pretty soon and after passing a few jtords asked to see the children and Called them from their work. When the children came up she began to chide Mr. Stroud, for not caring for them better and blamed his wife. In the meantime Mrs. Ward gave the children some lunch out of a hand satchel and asked them to go with her to the buggy to see a squirrel she had. Words between Stroud and the woman got pretty hot and there was shooting, who shot first depends on whict side tells it,-th-roiasa steatly averring that Stroud reached up and got his gun and shot her and then she opened fire with a pistol that she took from the satchel. After emptying her pistol she ran a quarter of a mile with Stroud in pursuit, who when he over took her rested bis gun "on the fence and shot the second time, the load of small shot taking effect inber breast and faee.-'- Stroud says that he was setting down on a bench whittling and talking to her when she pulled out from the satchel a pistol and opened fire shoot ing him four or five times. He ran into the house after his gun and Mrs, Ward ran. He says his gun did not have, any caps on it and he could not shoot it but went to a neighbor's house and got his gun and overtook the woman, when she pointed, the pistol at him again. He then fired, for the first time he says. ; - v' . '"v , The woman got into the buggy and they drove rapidly off and Stroud and othera got horses and pursued them. A lively chase for several miles con tinued toward Kinston and Stroud gave it up and the woman and driver came on to town, reaching here about dark. Tee woman was taken to a doctor who dressed her wounds and she was then taken into custody by the sheriff and taken before - Justice Cox . where she made a statement and was released under a cash bond for appearance at trial today. . '. ; -' This morning Stroud was over to Kinston and a warrant was sworn outj for both of them and they waived examination and gave bond for their appearance at November court, Mrs. Ward furnishing her own bond with cash. Neither of the parties are hurt dan gerously and if blood poison does not occur it Is thought they will get all right soon. Stroud received three bul lets, one in the hand, one In , the arm above- the elbow r and one passing through the fleshy part of his shoulder. Mrs. Wards face and breast were pep pered with bird shot : . Mrs. Ward's present husband Is In the government service at League Is land, near Philadelphia, and she was oa her way to him from a visit to his : people at Vanceboro, where she has been some time, and stopped over here to see her children by . her first hus band, Stroud, from whom she was divorced. .

What an Observer Tells About The Dispensary In Columbia, 8. C. The following letter is from Rev. D. B. Clayton, an active minister who lives in Columbia, S. C. He has of course had excellent opportunity to observe the workings of the state dis pensary system in operation jn that commonwealth. On the subject of the dispensary as opposed to the open saloons he says: Editor Free Press: I perceive that the people of Kinston are consid erably exercised over the liquor ques tion, and there is manifested much anxiety as to which is best, open saloons or dispensary. I have been a citizen of Columbia, S. C, for 35 years and have witnessed the working of both systems. I speak from personal knowledge when I say that there are dispensaries on our principal business streets and that the dispensaries are as quiet and orderly as the best dry goods houses on the same streets. No screens are allowed before the doors and one can look right through the establishment and see who Is in there and what Is going on therein. No murders are committed In the dis pensaries. If one murder has been committed in a dispensary since tbe system was established in South Caro lina it is not in my memory. I speak as to the city of Columbia on this point. All sales must be made between the rising, and setting of the sun. Pur chasers of intoxicating liquors are not allowed to drink them in the dispen sary.' I am no advocate of the sale of intoxicating liquor on any plan, ex cept for medical purposes, but between the open saloon and the dispensary, the latter is far preferable. I have no interest in your city, nor State, except as I am interested in the elevation of our common humanity; but as ajover pf the human race,, and of good orders; and sobriety, Tata In terested in this matter and, have right to' my say wherever I may be. Respectfully yours, D. B. Clayton. IN MEMORY OF MR. H0ELL. The Knights of Pythias Pass Resolu tions of Respect. The following resolutions were adopted at a regular convention of Kinston lodge.

In two suits the jury found with the defendant, and in another Judge Allen refused to let It go to the jury, and the plaintiff was non-suited. In one of these suits Judge O. IL Allen decided a question of law that it seems has never been decided in this State, or in any of the courts so far as the lawyers could find. It was the ques tion as to whether or not a conductor should carry back to a station a pas senger that he neglected to notify when the station was reached. ' The judge decided that it was the duty of the company to carry the passenger back, free of costs. The case has gone to the supreme court HORTH STATE MPS Clipped and Coiled From Our lortl Carolina Eicbaniu.
