Instructions have been sent to Gen eral Pershing, commanding- the expe dition at Casas Grandes to hold his force inactive unless Villa should ap proach and actually offer battle. Thesse orders wJll prevail at the war department until changed by instruc tions from the white house. The status of General Pershing's troops and the border forces was ob tained today from an authority.which cannot be questioned. The war department officials still credit the unofficial report that Chi huahua City or a greater part of the northern capital fell into the hands of Villa.

KEARNEY, PROPRIETOR There was an old geezer And he had a lot of senses He started up a business G-n a dollar eighty cents. The dollar was for stock And eighty for an ad. Brought him three lovely dollars In a day by dad! ,- Well, he bought more goods And a little more space, And he played that system With a smile on his face. The customers flocked To his two by four And soon he had to hustle For a regular store. Up on the square Where the people pass, He gobbled up a corner That was all plate glass. He fixed up the windows With the best he had And told them all about it In a half-page ad. He soon had'em going And he never, never quit, And he wouldn't cut down C'li his ad one jit. cr 63 And he's kept thing hummin In the town ever since. And everybody calls him The Merchant Prince. Some say it's luck But that's all bunk Why, he was doing business When the times were punk! People have to purchase And the geezer was wise For he knew the way to get'em Was to advertise. Stomach Trouble and Constipation. Those who are a icted with stom ach trouble and constipation should read the following: "I have4, never found anything so good for stomach J trouble and constipation as Cham ! berlain's Tablets. I have used them off and now for the past two years. They not only regulate the action of the bowels but stimulate the liver and keep ore's body in a healthy con dition," writes Mrs. Benjamine Hoop er, Auburn, N. Y. GEX. W. L. LOXDOX DEAD One of Most Prominent Citizens of State and Noted Soldier of Confederacy William Lord London of Pittsboro, Chatham county, died Thursday fol lowing a lingering illness of several months duration. Tie had not been seriously sick, however, and the end come suddenly a-nd unexpectedly. He was in his seventy-ninth year and un til recently had enjoyed the best of health and was remarkably well pre served both in mind and body and ac tive in the extensive business in which he was engaged. . He was most happily married in November, 18 64, to Miss Caroline Haughtcn, who survives him with four living sons Mr. H. A. London, Jr., of Charlotte; Dr. John H. Lon don, of Washington, D. C; Mr. Frank M. London, of New York, and Mr. Arthur H. London, of Pittsboro. He served in the Confederate army with distinguished sralla ntrv having volunteered en-the 15th of April, 1861, and was with Lee at Appomat tox Court house. He was wounded three tjmes, first when leading his company in the charge on Malvern Hill, July 1, 18 62, then again at Gettysburg when in command of the sharpshooters of Daniel's brigade, and again on the 19th of September, 18 64 at Win chester, he was shot entirely through the body, the bullet entering the right breast and coming out under the left shoulder. Although so desperately wounded he was back on active duty in front of Petersburg by the first of January. When the North Carolina division of the United States Confederate Vet erans was organized in 189 5 he was unanimously elected commander of the second brigade a-nd had been re elected every year since wTith the rank of brigadier-general. It was al ways his great pleasure to attend the reunions of the Confederates in his county, his State and the general reunions.

Bryan and the Kaiser are the only two men who, in the past 20 years, have "most completely imposed them selves on the history of that period." It wTas in 189 6 that the Kaiser emerg ed in his compound role of the build er of the German Navy and the in terpreter of the Divine Will In Keep candles on the ice for a day before using on a birthday cake, and they will burn slowly and evenly. When dropping muffin dough into the tins first dip the spoon itnto boil ing water and the dough will not stick to the spoon.

Warm lemons bef rore squeezing them and twice the juice will be obtained. The annual oratorical execises by the senior class of Davidson College will be held in Shearer Hall at Da vidson, last week. 189 6 Bryan was nominated at Chica go. "Through the intervening 20 years," Strunsky holds, "the two men have been a persistent force. Today Europe and America bear tes timony to their labors." Strunsky suggests that his readers may have their guess of the 20 things that elec ted Wilson, but if they guess Bryan it would be as safe as any one of the 20. It may not have been Bryan the campaigner. It was more likely the Bryan idea. When . one speaks of the last election as a victory of the country over the city, it is odd to overlook the man who in 1896 told the convention which nominated him that cities might come and go and man be none the worse, but "if you destroy your farms, grass will grow in the streets of your cities." This bit of thrilling rhetoric has stuck in the mind of Strunsky for these 20 years. '"When you speak of the election as a triumph of the plain people over Wall Street," he says, "it is strange to overlook the mam who first drew the anithesis, and Roose velt took it from him, and Woodrow Wilson took it partly from Roosevelt and partly from Bryan." To the mind of The Observer, Strunsky has found the secret of the Bryan influence when he says that a thor ough study of Bryan's career would probably give- the remarkable result of a man who was unusually right in principle, "but wrong ;iai manner and the specific application," , He thinks it would also show a man who was defeated in every battle he fought and who won the campaign, if his entire career be viewed as a single campaign. tion, however, is that it has been a full and continuous career. In 20 years he has been himself nominated three times for the Presidency; he has permitted one other nomination Parker's; he has forced one other nomination Wilson's at Baltimore in one of the most dramatic episodes of our political history; he has done his share in bringing to fruition Wil son's second nomination. But concluding with the two Wil liams Hohenzollern and Bryan Strunsky cites as an instance of how strangely the lives of the two have been brought into contace the fact that in 189 6 William of Hohenzol lern, aged 36, began his crusade for God, autocracy, and a big navy, and William J. Bryan, aged 36, made himself the leader of an ethico-social crusade. "What we may roughly call the Hohenzollern idea," he says, "is now in conflice with the Bryan idea, and it looks as if William of Nebras ka will win out. Many people are now saying that mankind shall not longer be crucified on an Iron Cross." -4 Chamberlain's Tablets. Chamberlain's Tablets are inten ded especially for stomach troubles, biliousness and constipation, and have met with much success in the treatment of those diseases. People who have suffered for years with stomach trouble have been unable to obtain any permanent relief, have been completely cured by the use of these tablets. Chamberlain's Tablets are also of great value for bilious ness. Chronic constipation may be permanently cured by taking Cham berlain's Tablets and observing the plain printed directions with each bottle. adv A Business Local Will Find The Thing YOU Want!
