satisfy the enraged George so about
S o'clock he met up with Mollle ac
companled by her brother James Ed
mondson on Hlllsboro street and
commenced shooting again, when
Jim seized his arm and the pair was
soon rolling In the gutter. DurlDg
the scuffle the pistol was fired putting
a ball through the left hand of George,
while one ball grazed the hip of Ed
mondson. After the shooting George went to
a doctor and had his hand dressed,
and disappeared and it took the po
licemen two days to locate him. Day
Policemen Smith at last located him
1n what Is called "Cam Town," and
when he entered the house he thought
he had missed his man, but on look
ing under the back side of the bed

tbem were bound over to court by

quired by the Roman Catholic church

the Club.
The second subject was presented
in a remarkably interesting manner,
showing the Influence of the ancient
institutions ol the great empire q,
the whole of the clvlllaed world today
The third topic was ably treated,
tracing the growth and gradual dls
smlnatlon of the religion of the
false prophet throughout the western
world.
Leadlngup to the Renaissance, the
fourth paper clearly set forth the
state of European literature follow
ing the downfall of Roman power
and the formation of the Romance
languages.
All of these subjects were treated
with marked ability, creating renew
ed interest in the further study of Ro
man History which is the object of
the season's work of this organization.

Tobacco Rolling In.
Friday and Tuesday were big days
for tobacco, as all our warehouses
enjoyed large breaks and were crowd
ed with farmers ea ger to get big prices
that our buyers were paying for all
grades of the weed. Prices crawled
right along up causing many broad
smiles on the farmers faces. One of
the buyers said to the editor "that
tobacco was bringing higher prices
than at any time since the new crop
commenced to be marketed."
The outlook is that the remainder
of the crop in the hands of the farmers
will be sold for high prices. And
there is no reason why this should
not be the case.

Case of Midshipman Cooper.
This week the trial of Midshipman
John P. Mlller.of Kentucky, is going
at the Naval Academy for haz
ing a North Carolinian, Henry u
Cooper, of Oxford, North Carolina
Young Cooper.who Is a slight young
fellow in size, was stricken with par
alysls on December 12th, as the re
sult of hazing, while in his class, so
it is claimed, and was removed to
the hospital, where he soon recover
ed. The North Carolina mldsnipman
Is an appointee of Representative W.
W. Kltchln. A rather unusual coin
cidence is the fact that he was ap
pointed at the same time by Senator
Overman. Neither knew of the oth
ers intention -to appoint the young
man. Senator Overman withdrew
his nomination after learning of the
action taken by Representative Wm.
Kltchln.
To show the loyalty of even the
victims the statement Is made that
Cooper declared to the medical offi
cers that he had not been hazed for
months, but the Investigation went
on and now the Academy authorities
believe that they can prove that on
December 5th. Cooper was hazed by
Mlller.by being compelled to perform
No. 16" a number of times. This Is
the exercise in which the body is rais
ed and lowered by means of bending
the knees outward and straightening
them again. Of course, it may have
been other hazing, or, indeed, some
thing entirely different that was at
the bottom of the plebe's attack, but
the closeness of the attack and the
alleged hazing is significant. Wash

Peruna Medicine Co, Columbus, O.
Gentlemen : "As a remedy for catarrh
I can cheerfully recommend Peruna. I
have been troubled with chronic catarrh
for over six years. I had tried several
remedies without relief. A lodge friend
advised me to try Peruna, and I began to
use it faithfully before each meal. Since
then I have always kept it in the house.
I am now in better health than I have
been in over twenty years, and I feel
sure my catarrh is permanently cured."
Peruna cures catarrh wherever locat
ed. As soon as Peruna removes sys
temic catarrh the digestion becomes
good, nerves strong, and trouble van
ishes. Perunastrengthensweak nerves,
not by temporarily stimulating them,
but by removing the cause of weak
nerves systemic catarrh. This is the
