WHITE LIGHTNING NOUSTRY STANLY Several Blockade Outfits Raided, One Being on the Premises of Arch Helms A Combination of Sugar, Saw Dust, Sweet Feed, Ball Lye and Tobacco. Albemarle, May 18. 'Deputy Col lector Talbort, Deputy Collector T. F. Crisco and Chief .of Police J. D. Love, hit the "White Lightning" industry a severe blow, on yesterday. Deputy Collector Talbort made a raid on Will Hartsell's ' place in Western Stanly and took into his possession 110 gal lons of White Liquor. He also made further search around the premises of Hartsell and found a still in the community nearby which he brought to A'Kbemarle, and worst of all he got poor Will, and put him under heavy bond for Tiis appearance at court to answer to the charge of illegal manu facture of intoxicating "licker." The 110 gallons of real good liquor was brought tcr Albemarle and shipped to Greensboro 'by the Deputy Collector, and we do not envy tne consumer of this 110 gallons of combination of devilment, the contents of which we doubt whether the manufacturer him self knows. - Deputy T. F. Crisco accompanied by Chief of Police J. D. Love, made a raid on a territory a little further west, being on the premises of Arch Helms, who is rather a notorious blodkader, and wihle they did not find the still they got 5 1-2 gallons of whiskey as clear a? crystal. They also cut down and poured out aibout 200 gallons of still beer which had just been perfected into a state wherewith a little touch '6f chemical 'knowledge would have - converted it into possible five hundred gallons of the noted Stanly county "Sugar Loaf." Nearby this was found juite a, lot of saw dust and sweet feed sized together and appeared to have been squeezed and drained of its vital con tents, and 100 lbs. of brown sugar was also found as well as a lot of un used siweet feed.. For the benefit of those who are possibly unacquainted with the noted Stanly county "Sugar Loaf" liquor generally known as "White Lightning" your correspon dent is informed that this brand is made ?rom a combination of brown sugar, saw dust, sweet feed, ball lye and Brown Mule tobacco. It is said that two or three good drinks of this noted brand will con vince one that there is such a thing as "The Fountain of Youth," and will make the dub to speak, the blind to see double, the lame to stand up and "cuss" everything and everybody and generally make things what "they ain't." WHAT IS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A Digestive Laxative CATHARTIC. AND LIVER TONIC Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi cine but is composed of the following old-fashioned roots and herbs: CASCARA BARK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT BLACK ROOT MAY APPLE ROOT SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by the addition of these digestive ingredi ents making it better than ordinary CAS CARA, and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathar tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos combines strength with palatable, aro matic taste and does not gripe or disturb the stomach. One bottle will prove Lax-Fos is invaluable for Constipation, Indigestion or Torpid Liver. Price SOq Coughs Kill If You Let Them. Instead kill your Cough with DR. KING'S NEW DISCOVERY.

McNeill, of Fayette ville, Calls Off the Annual Meeting Scheduled to Be Held in Asheville in July 1918 Meeting Will Go to the Mountain City. The following from Friday's Ashe ville Times "will be read with interest by Salisbury Firemen and others who had contemplated attending the an nual firemen's tournament this year: At a meeting this morning of Ashe ville Fire department officials in Commissioner Ramsey's office it was decided to accept the proposition of President James McNeill, of Fayette-1 ville, of the State Firemen's associa tion, to postpone the 1917 convention, which wasi to have been held here in July, until 1918. The convention and tournament will be held here next year and a convention may be held somewhere in the state this year without any tournament features. Those present at the meeting were President McNeill, Secretary Miller, representing the state association, Chief J. H. Wood, Assistant Chief A. L. Duckett and Commissioner Ram sey. The Asheville representatives re newed their invitation to have the convention this yea out agreed with President McNeill as to the reasons for postponement. After -the meet ing President MicNeill said that the firemen all over the state earnestly desired to come to Asheville, looking upon this city as a sort of annex to paradise, but that after a full cotui tation by the executive committee, with all of the departmental through out the state, it was deemed best to take this action this year on account of conditions that we could-.-not con trol. "The executive corrtmibteenwill- later take up the question of holding a con vention of delegates for the transac tion of the business of the associa tion elsewhere, of which due notice will be given at an early date," said Chief McNeill. "The executive com mittee felt that on account of "the se lective draft, and the large number of men alreadyi in the army that we could not make the tournament fea ture, the success that we have here tofore done, and that would have re flected credit upon the efficiency of the fire service in the state. We hope that 'by 19.18 peace will have been established and the times will be right for enjoyment ratner than dis tress. (President McjNeill and Secretary Miller will leave here this afternoon. REV. FATHER LEO DEAD . AT ASHEVILLE TODAY Priest So Well Known in This City and Regarded by All Passed Away in Asheville After a Long and Lin gering Illness Burial at Belmont. (Salisbury was trained this morning to learn of the death of Father Leo, long a resident of tnis crty. Death came to the Priest at Asheville at 7:58 this, morning after 'illness against which he had made a fight for many months. Rev. Leo Kunz, was born in Alle gheny, Pa., on September 19th, 1862 He was educated at St. Vincent col lege, at Beatty, Pa., and ordained to priesthood in 1888, (by Bishop How at Belmont. He came to Salisbury in June 1905. Father Leo was most cordially lik ed by the people of this city. He was a man of likeable nature and natur ally attracted and 'held friends. He was closely identified with the city and always took a lively interest in the city's affairs. Father Leo had been sick a long while. More than a year ago he was sctricken and sought relief in Ashe ville, hoping that the climate and medical treatment would heal his ill ness. Against hope he fought for re covery, and from the beginning it was known that he was desperately ill and his friends saw him gradual ly decline until he passed away to day. The interment will be at Belmont, in Gaston county, tomorrow after ndon at 3 o'clock; and many friends for burial. Since the cost of Zeppelins has doubled when the British bring one down they can rejoice in getting their money's worth. Florida Times-Union. . t , . DR. WILBUR CHAPMAN ASSEMBLY MODERATOR Dr. J.

"I suffered with a pain in my left side, could not sleep at night with this pain, always in the left side... My doctor told me to use Cardui. I took one bottle, which helped me and after my baby came, I was Btronger and better, but the pain was1 still there. ' I at first let it go, but began to get weak and in a run-down condition, so I decided to try some more Cardui, which I did. This last Cardui which I took made me much better, in fact, cured me. It has been a number of years, still I have no return of this trouble. I feel it was Cardui that cured me, and I recommend it as a splendid fe male tonic." Don't allow yourself to become weak and run-down from womanly troubles. Take CarduL It should sure ly help you, as it has bo many thou sands of other women in the past 40 years. Headache, backache, sideache, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out feeling, are all signs of womanly trou ble. Other women get relief by taking Cardui. Why not you? All druggists. NC-132 STANLY WHEAT WILL LIKELY BE SHOR Reports Indicate That the Crop Will Not Be Up to the Standard -Coun ty Superintendent to be Named Demonstrator is Encouraged. (Special to the Post.) Albemarle, May 17 Your corre spondent in' conversation ' with a prominent citizen of the county who has recently been over the larger part of the county states that the wheat crop in Stanly county will certainly be short perhaps in some sections not over one-half crop. He attributes this to the fact that the cold weather in the winter killed out a lot of the Wheat and he asserts that a number of farmers have fields of wheat that will not be worth the harvesting. He reports that farmers all over the county are putting in larger food crops. He says, however, that they are not cutting cotton acreage any at all so far as he could discover. The farmers of this county! are giving more attention to hog raising as well as stock and cattle raising. County Demonstrator Lentz is placing a great deal of interest on corn clubs and pig clubs in the coun ty and the boys are responding man fully. Also tomato clubs are being formed throughout the county as the result of a recent campaign, and it is safe to say that Stanly county will do her part in 1917, in the growing and conserving food1 crops. Although this is an off year in pol itics the political pot is boiling just a bit in this county at present over the position of county superintendent of public instructions. It is not known as yet whether or not Prof. L. r Eddins, who has held this position for about sixteen or eighteen years will he a candidate to succeed himself It is reported, hoiwever, on good au thority that there are two other can didates in the field for this position, While these candidates have not an nounced themselves publicly, yet your correspondent has it on good authori tv. that either of these men would accept the position if offered to him One of these candidates is Mr. Z. V Moss, of Albemarle who is an alum nus of the University of North Car olina and has had! several years ex perience in school work in different parts of the state. The other of these candidates is Prof. J. A. Barnhardt of Stanfield, who has iDeen in the school work for several years and at present successfully conducting Hieh School at Stanly Hall in the western part of the county. This county operates, under .the law by which county superintendents are elected? by the county board of Educa tidn 'and; the people throughout the cdunty are becoming very much wrought up in knowing who will be the successful candidate when the county board of education meets to elect a superintendent in July. LEXINGTON CITIZENS SENTENCED FOR CONTEMPT. Lexington, May 17. Ed. Miller and J. B. Smith were sentenced to 10 days in jail by Recorder John H Mover for contempt of court, when they refused today to testify in ad testificandum proceedings instituted against them. They appealed to Su perior court and were required to furnish $200 bond. The case grew out of the sensational circular circu lated yesterday iby these men, alleg' ing that a certain officer had accept' ed a $2 bribe to pass 65 gallons of liquor recently. The authorities had hoped that the accusers would name their man in court and would also give some indications as to who was the owner of the spirits alleged! to have .been given the go-4by. They both shut up tight as clams and re fused to say a thing. It is said that the defendants had used the name of a local officer in connection with the serious charges they made and an indictment for criminal libel would not be a surprising step. For the second time within seven or eight months, tie Erlanger. Cot ton Mills are putting into .effect a substantial wage increase.. Last Fall they reduced the hours of labor for a week's work and at the same time increased the wage by a few cents daily. Now they are putting into effect a 10 per cent iwnus on produc tion and weekly .wage, which amounts to a good many thousands of dollars each year. The mill is now turning out practically its former output, op erating two shifts daily. William E.

Leaders of the Belk Chain of Stores in Albemarle Looking for a Room With a View of Opening a Store in iStanly Capital. Albemarle, May 17. .Mr. W. H. Belk, of Charlotte, and his brother Dr. J. M. Belk, of Monroe, owners of the Belk Bros, chain of stores', were in the city last night looking over Albemarle with a view to possi bly locating a (branch store here m the near future. The Belk Brothers while here looked over the big Badin plant and expressed their opinion that a large city in ithis section would be the result of the great develop meat going on on the Yadkin. They spent the night in Albemarle and left this morning without making any de finite announcements as to what theirT intentions are as to establishing a branch store here. The Belks have many good friends in Albemarle and a large number of people have ex pressed their hopes that these ag gressive business men would cast their lot in our" midst. It is said that their only impedi ment would possibly be the proper standi as every business building in the city is already filled except one small room which has just been va cated and this would be too small for a business such as the Belk Bros, would establish. It is said neverthe less that they may .possibly ijave in mind erecting a building of thehown in case they should decide that Albe marle migiht be an advantageous te canon. A BEA&fTiIFUL PLACE.

TO CULTIVATE THE IDLE LANDS DF STATE Governor Bickett is Urging .That These Be Offered That They May Be Worked to Increase, Food Sup plier Road Froces May Help Here Too. i. imU (Raleigh, N. C, May ' 17. Of such great importance does Governor T. W. Bickett consider the cultivation of tenantless and vacant farms in this time of stress and danger that he has addressed a second letter to the boards of county commissioners of the .counties of the State urging that there be no delay in this activity. The Governor's letter tells its own story. It is as follows: "In the emergency we notwface not only patriotic duty but the necessi ty of protecting the people of bur own State for want demands that we increase our acreage and production of stable food and feed crops by every means at our command. As the con stituted authority in your county,' upon you rests the responsibility of doing everything possible to protect your people from threatened hunger and deprivation. The farmers of our State are rally ing to tne extent oi tneir acuity to the demand for increased food and feed production, but they are handi- capped by a shortage of labor and wiork-stock and they are not going to be able to supply th6 deficit of food and feedstuff s we shall face. It is imperative therefore that steps be taken to increase acreage and pro duction by other means. The great est opportunity we have for doing this is the use of our road forces of men and workstook in the cultivation of idle and tenantless farms, many of which exist in practically every coun ty in the State. The production of foodstuffs is more important in this crisis even than the building of good roads, and I am again (writing to urge that you take this matter up in your county without delay. You have ample authority, accord ing to the Attorney General, to use the roadl forces for this (purpose and you should not only raise sufficient feed for your stock and food for your workers but a surplus for the market, the proceeds of course to be added to your road fund. Many landowners of the State are offering tenantles9 land for cultiva tion in food crops free of charge. A statement in ytur county papers re questing the owners of vacant lands to communicate with your (board will no doubt result in the offering of all the . land you will be able to take care of rent free, or at a nominal rentaL Trusting that you will act upon these suggestions without delay, I am, etc. ' MARRIED AT K ANNAPOLIS.
