Fergerson, of Waynesville, presiding here for the first time. The astute Solicitor A.L Brooks Is representing thestate with his usual ability. Mr. Conrad Walters Is acting for Sheriff Howard and keeps a watch f ul eye over the court room. ine ionowing grand jury was drawn: J. K. Daniel, Foreman, E. G. Davis, O. J. Prultt, D. T.

Tal ly, Louis Thorp, J. R. Cottrll. Mr. T. E. Booth Is the officer in charge of jury. Judg3 Fergerson's charge to the rand jury was short and pointed, and deliberately delivered without notes. In opening he spoke of the duty of the grand jury.and the reeponMlbillty of each juror. That the machinery of the law was put in motion by Its citizenship. That the selection of a juror does not depend upon politi cians or favoritism. Without the aid of the best citizenship It is Impos sible to make the laws effective. Some jurors sometimes shrink their duty and close their eyes to investi gation. Evey good citizen sees to It that the law Is executed, for the good of society. He was plain and strong In his charge on Immoral lnfluence.and un der this head he cited bawdy houses, j carrying concealed weapons, and sell- ng liquor Illicitly. He said that his experience and observation lead him to believe that 85 per cent, of the homicides In this State would not have occurred but for the permlclous habit of carrying concealed weapons. He charged that anvtnlnar done. against the life, liberty and happi ness of man enjoying his liberty, was a violation of the criminal law, and the jurors must Investigate It a,n.d irue presentment made. 4 SHOTS.

Biblical Recorder. Says the Augusta Chronicle: "It would be worth a trip across the continent to hear Tillman and Roose velt in joint debate." Well. it would be a circus Tf Tillman could have his wool-hat', boys on the ground. Director Jorth, of the Census Bu reau, resents the charges of President Jordan of the Southern Cotton As sociation and hopes Congress will re lieve him of making cotton statistics since his efforts are discredited by those for whose benefit It is done. A New York judge has held that a man's wife must support him if she has the means to do so. Interpreted that decision means that when a wo man has all the property in her name she can't turn the old man out to grass. A Jury & Abbeville, Ala., Sunday morning brought In a verdict of guil ty against Walter Nordan, a promi nent young merchant, for poisoning his bride of three weeks, and fixed his-puntshment at life Imprisonment It would seem that capital punish ment might as well be abolished.

Since President Roosevelt has been In the executive chair of the Republic he has been up against railroad com bines, the beef trust, and other kinds of trusts and combinations that have the people at their mercy. He says he would like to "bust" them but goes right on being head of the Re publican party which protects them and gets Its campaign funds from Its beneficiaries. The South Carolina House of Rep resentatives has passed the Morgan dispensary bill by a vote of 63 to 46. This Is considered to be the most sig nificant legislation in the State for many years, and it Is believed the Senate also will pass the measure. The bill abolishes the State dispen sary and provides for State prohibi tion, with local option to counties to establish their own dispensaries under county management. A resolution has been introduced In the Virginia Legislature calling upon Senators Daniel and Martin to know what they have done in con formity to the resolution of the Vir ginia Legislature two years ago In structing them to advocate a law re quiring the election of United States Senators by 1 he people.

John gave It to his grandson, Ellkieum, who carried It with him during the Revolutionary War. It has been carried through three wars by descendants o the original owners. A colored girl while walking along the banks of a creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, on the farm of E.

She pulled It up, and found It contained a large quantity of Spanish silver coin, said to be worth $800 The coins were of old dates, none being more recent than sixty-five years ago. J. he money was turned over to Mr. Goodrldge. In the Richmond police court the other day Mayor McCarthy called a reporter of the Richmond News-Lead er a liar. The reporter claimed the protection of the court and the po lice justice fined the mayor $20 for contempt of court. In the hearing the counsel for the mayor argued that It would reflect on the dignity of the city for the mayor to be fined but the police justice was of the opin ion that the mavor was no better than other folks when he offended and the fine was Imposed, The case was appealed.

What are our property own ers and other Interested citizens go ing to do about it? Those who have vacant building lots should either build dwellings or sell the lots at a reasonable price to those who will erect dwellings. The town can not grow very rapidly unless some thing of the kind Is done. An Increase of population means a decrease in taxes, etc.,' and the property owners are much in their own light If they stand still and refuse to provide dwellings for those desiring to come In and help build up the town. . Blanche Anderson. Mr. John H. Anderson, Covington, To Whom it May Concern : "This is to certify that my daughter, Blanche Anderson, eight years of age, TOffered with catarrh of the head for three years while living in Massachu setts. At times it affected her eyes so that she could not bear the light and would have to be kept in a dark room for three or four days. It finally went to her ears ; she became quite deaf, and one of her ears began to discharge pus that was very offensive. I wrote Dr Hartman and he advised me what to do. I gave her Lacupia and Peruna. Today she is enjoying the best of health ; her eyesand bearing are both good. I heart ily recommend Peruna for all catarrhal affections." Peruna is the only scientific remedy for catarrh yet discovered. A copy of Dr. Hartman's latest book on chronic ca tarrh sent free by The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus, Ohio.

Oxford Really Co., Organized for the Purpose of Handling and Deveoloping Real Estate, Act ing as Agent, Trustee or Commissioner. Letter to Sheriffs. Governor Glenn has written a per sonal letter to all the Sheriffs of the State, urging them to Bee that there is quick detection in crime, and that the laws must be rightly enforced The Raleigh News and Observer tells us that the Governor requests all newspapers or citizens who know of any officer refusing or neglpctlng to discharge his duty, not to make a general reflection on all officers by saying they fail to do their duty, but to call attention to the officers so acting and he will at once put the matter In the hands of the solicitor of the district for investigation, and If found to be true, he will see that said officer is prosecuted and punish ed according to law. The Governor does not think It is right to make faithful officers suffer for the wrong doings of the bad ones.hence his sug gestion that charges be made special and not general.
