Color and Design As This ( f" It If 1 M ) Tag The qziality of the genuine sun cured tobacco used in REYNOLDS' Sun Cured and grown on soil where the best sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to be brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who do not look closely at the printing on the box and on the tag. These brands only imitate the outward appearance and do not possess the genuine inside quality that has been found in Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Sun Cured was introduced and which has so increased the chewing of sun cured tobaccos and proven so popular, that the word " Sun Cured" is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco. ' Did you ever see the word "Sun Cured" used in any chewing tobacco advertisement, or on any chewing tobacco tag or label, or in any other way, before it was introduced and used to identify the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured ? You see it frequently now, because many imitation brands are being made to appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they dare with tag, shape of plug and style of package so similar that experienced buyers sometimes accept these imitations as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured. Don't be deceized into taking imitation brands for the genuine. Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s' Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing tobacco that can be prodztced for chewers. Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts ; strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs, with chewing qualities like that which was sold from COc. to $1.00 per pound before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade.

Gardner was the only son of Mr. William Puckett and wife, of Stovall. He was one of the brightest, best and noblest of young men.

Some times a child with bad home training may, while the character is still in a formative state, be thrown under bet ter influences, and may turn out well. But as a rule, home influences shape j the character for good or bad through lite. Parental responsibility is fearful ly great.

The Supreme Court in a case where a child under 12 years of age was in jured while employed in a factory de termines the principles that the viola tion of the statute forbidding the em ployment of children under that age in factories is . negligence in itself. Judge Connor, in delivering the opin ion, says that is the settled policy of this Sf ate that children under 12. at least, shall be in the public schools and not in factories and that this policy is wise, human and settled. T. D. Mitchell, the star witness for the defense in the case against Jim Tillman for the murder of the Editor Gonzales, of South Carolina, was ar rested last week for attempted rape on a negro. He has been indicted for Btuffing ballot boxes, gambling with negroes and other shady stunts. In the above trial he testified that he had heard the Gonzales brothers threaten Tillman, which was false. On the testimony of such cattle as this as guilty A murderer as ever killed in cold blood a useful man, was acquitted and is today a free man. The Messenger and Intelligencer gives a nut to crack to the opponents of the proposed graded school in Wadesboro,that has never been crack ed by such opposition anywhere. It asks: "Did anybody ever hear of a town that had enjoyed the blessings of a graded school, abolishing the school and returning to other conditions?" Nobody ever did, because no town ever abolished a school once established. Opposition to educational facilities is unaccountable. It is difficult to un derstand opposition to any public im provement, but the strangest of all is opposition to a school. 1 Bro. Puckett was instantly killed by a land slide that buried him and a part of his train. The first part of the burial service was conducted in Stovall Baptist church by the pastor, J. A. Stradley. The house was filled with sympathetic friends whose hearts were saddened by the early death of this noble young man, and who came to manifest heartfelt sympathy for sorely bereaved family. Gardner Puckett belonged to the "Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,' 24 of whom brought his remains to Stovall for interment, and gave it a solemn, sympathetic and appropriate burial. They spoke in the highest terms of praise of their departed Brother. They said that all who knew him respected and loved him. One of the Brotherhood told me that Gardner had often spoken of late about dying and being ready for death. Only a few minutes before he was kill ed he talked with the engineer of his train about a song he loved so well, "Death is only a dream." Farewell, dear Brother, we will miss thee from our Brotherhood, our church, our home, but we hope to meet thee again when death will no more aarKen our patnway, or sadaen our hearts.
