Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney-Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their ex perience with this tested remedy, Here is an example worth reading Mrs. Frank Young, New College St., Oxford, says: "A couple of months ago I had backache and suf fered a great deal. I could hardly get around and if I stooped. I could- not straighten without awful pains shooting through my kidneys. I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and us ed them. They made my back strong er and made me feel better in every way." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Young had. Foster-Milburn Co Trons.. Buffalo. N. Y. advt GATHERED FROM THE STATE NEWS FROM MURPHY TO MAN TOE AND RETURN (any North Carolina Items of Gen eral Interest Condensed into Brief Paragraphs Smallpox in the Wake County Jail put an end to Wake court, which was convened Monday by Judge Frank A. Daniels for one week's term for criminal cases. There is only one case in the jail, it is said, and five cases in the county. The fact that the bill to create the new county of Jarvis got an unfavor able report, was not because the ad vocates of this measure did not put up a good fight. The advocates will not give up, but next Legislature will see them stronger than before. Mr. Samuel L. Rogers, of Franklin, was confirmed Wednesday as direc tor of the census, succeeding Wil liam J. Harris, of Georgia. Mr. Rog ers appointment is due to the untir ing efforts of Senator Simmons. His place carries a salary of $6,000 a year. At the annual meeting of the Vir ginia Sons of the Revolution, held n Richmond on Washington's birthday, Mr. Richard M. Jackson, formerly of Raleigh, was elected first vice-president of that organization. Mr. Jack son was treasurer of same society for many years in this State. Ted Sullivan, of Chicago, baseball man, one time big league ball player and manager of the New York Giants and White Sox on their tour around the world has purchased a farm in Camden county. The farm is suita ble for stock and poultry farming, and Sullivan proposes to equip it with blooded stock. The annual banquet of the South ern Society of Washington took place last Saturday night, with members of the Cabinet, Supreme Court Justices, Congressmen and others as guests. Among the speakers were Attorney General Gregory, Secretary-Bryan and Congressman Small, of North Carolina. Whiteville had a visit last Satur day from a globe-trotter, E. F. Lam- berth, familiarly, known as . "Black Diamond." He stated that he is on the last lap of a 250,000 mile walk, and is now walking the last 30,000 miles, which if completed by Decem ber 27, 1917, he will receive $10,000 provided he has kept conditons. For the second time within a week yeggmen did work in the vicinity of Charlotte. Saturday morning early they entered the postoffice at Mount Holly, taking between $1,100 and $1,200 in money and stamps. No ex plosion was heard as a pick and crow bar was used. Only a few nights be fore an attempt was made to loot the post office at Matthews. No arrests have yet been made- Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, of Asheville, s asking for some change in the com piling of vital statistics, as regards he health resorts of the country. He believes the death of every .person, regardless of where he or she dies, hould be charged to the place of le gal residence. It is unfair, he says, that Asheville should be charged with the deaths from tuberculosis among her visitors. Wilmington is now using 2,300,- 000 gallons of water daily, but through the efforts of Councilman Loughlin, in charge of the water de partment, the city determines to use less water. Leaks in pipes will be stopped and the people impressed with the needless waste of water. If this can be done, the enlargement of the water-works plant will not be necessary now. Hearing that an illicit distillery was in operation near Hamlet, on the line between the two Carolinas.Sher iff Patterson, of South Carolina, and Deputy Sheriff Brown, of Richmond county, and three other officers, made a raid on the still Friday night. Near the still they met a man carrying a 35-gallon still away. On arresting him, three of his companions ran out and opened fire, the officers return!' ;he fire, killed Colon Mcintosh- The deceased and the man Fry, who had the still, were brcthers-in-law. At the coroners inquest the jury exoner ated the officers from any blame. BASEBALL A verr interesting game of base ball was played on the grounds of the Rov Scout Park, Wednesday evening, March 4th. Each of the contesting sides batted hard and played excel lent ball. This caused the game to be very interesting, The sides were uneven, the Boy Scouts having a few better players than Oxford, as all its players did not come. When six end ings had been played dark was near at hand and the players decided - to stop. The' score stood 24 to 14 in favor of the Boy Scouts. The players for Oxford were: Bruce Walters, catcher; Roy Grimn Pitcher: Ralph Walters, 1st base; Tincy Mitchell, 2nd base; Ernest Mitchell, 3rd base; Will Mitchell, left field; Brunt Jackson, Right field Line up of Boy Scouts : George Hunt, Catcher; Augustus McSween, Pitched: Robert Parham, First base; Sydney Walters, Second base; Francis Bradsher. Third base; Hays Willi ford, Short stop; Joe Floyd, Left field; William Hicks, Right field. Pay your Public Ledger subscription STEM STEMMINGS Mr. E.

Dickerson, who has been clerking for the Stem Mercantile Co., for the past six months, left Monday for his home near Dickerson where he will spend the summer months on the farm. He is a popular young man and made a host of friends in this community who regret to see him eave. On Saturday Feb. 27 th the angel of death entered the home of Mr. W. R. Cox, of near Oxford, and claimed as his victim hlis beloved wife in the 83d year of her age. She had been sick only three weeks but for several months had been in declining health her death being due to the infirmities of old age. All that loving hands could do were cheerfully done for her but of no avail. Mrs. Cox was con verted in early womanhood and unit ed with the Baptist church and lived consecrated christian life until her death. Because of her beautiful traits of character she won the con fidence, esteem, and friendship of a host of acquaintances. She was af- ectionate, kind and unselfish." Every one who knew her intimately ' loved her as a sincere friend. She has gone home but has left us a legacy. No one can look back on her memory without feeling that there is such a ife as a God filled life. Her many friends feel that she is happier and we are all made better in heart and richer in soul, when we reflect on her blessed life. We believe that she could say with Paul, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain-" She was the mother of eleven children, eight of whom are living, viz. Mr. W. C Cox, of Clays Station; Mr. T. B. Cox, of Wendell; Mr. Elijah Cox, of Rox boro; Mr. Dorsey Cox, of Rocky Mount. Her daughters are, Mrs. Lee Matthews and Mrs. Henry Matthews, both of Knott's Grove section; Mrs Alice Jacobs, of Hester; and Mrs Addie Cox, of Oxford. The remains were carried to Knott's Grove church on Sunday, where the funeral was preached by her pastor, Rev. T. A. Tatum, after which the interment was made in the cemetery at that olace. In obedience to her request her grandsons, Messrs. J. E., G. L. vV. G. and H. K. Matthews, Mr. J. E Jacob and Mr. W. C. Redmond, acted as pallbearers. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we love is still. A place is vacant in her home. That none can ever fill. It is with profound sorrow that we chronicle the death of Mr. A. J. Honeycutt, which occurred at his home in Durham last Saturday morn ng at 3 a. m., in the thirty-third year of his age, for the past two years he had been in declining health but kept up and about and was in his alace of business until Wednesday when he suddenly became critically ill with an attack of diabetes which resulted in his death. Mr. Honey cutt was raised near Elmwood, N. C-, but about six years ago he came to Granville county and became manag er of the Kimball Roller Mills, he be ing an expert mechanic and machin ist. On Dec. 24th, 1910, he was uni led in marriage to Miss Naomi Cash, of Tally Ho, by whom he is survived with one little boy, Orin Briant, three years of age. From his youth up Mr. Honeycutt lived a clean, hon Drable life some of its characterists being honesty integrity and sobriety, which won the admiration and res pect of all who knew him- He was a devout christian and a member of the Presbyterian church of Durham and of the Baraca Sunday Schoo ?Iass of this church. The day be fore he died his pastor visited him to whom he expressed himself as being willing to die. Truly in his life was the life of Christ exemplified. He was a member of the Masonic lodge of Hillsboro, and the Odd JTellows fraternity of that place. At the time of his death he was manager of the smoking department of the Liggett-Myers Tobacco Co., of Dur ham. The funeral services were con ducted in his home by his pastor, Rev J. H. Layman, Sunday morning at the conclusioin of which the remains were carried to the Southern depot and accompanied by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends were brought on the afternoon train to Stem and taken in charge by un dertaker, J. Robt. Wood, of Oxford and the Masons of Tally Ho Lodge and conveyed to the Walter's burry- 'ngground near the home, of his .wife Desnite the inclement weather a great throng of people had gathered to pay their last tribute, of respect The solem service of the Masonic Lodge was beautifully carried out The floral offerings surpassed any thing that has ever been seen, in this community; Those . sent by his em ployers, the Ligget Myers Tobacco Co. and also the wreath presented by those over whom he superintended, were simply beautiful. After the burial the grave was literally covered with flowers of various kinds. He eaves behind to mourn their loss his father and mother, of Elmwood; two sisters, Miss Iva Honeycutt, of the atter place and Mrs. James Pike, of Greensboro; and three brothers, Mr. Ralph Honeycutt, of Washington, D. C, Mr. Orini Honeycutt, of Greens boro, and Mr. Elmer Honeycutt, of Elmwood, all of whom except his parents, were present at the funeral. To our finite minds it seems hard to understand why he was taken away n the prime of life but let us re member that "God moves in a mys terious way his wonders to perform" and that He makes no . mistakes but doeth all things well. . Our heartfelt sympathy is with the bereaved ones, especially the young wife and little son In this their hour of sore afflic tion.
