Neither young k:.ian, the partner of I
the murdered Ford boy, nor Miss
Ertie Gr:oe, one of the outraged girls, I
who came here to identify the neg-1
roes are able to swear positively that j
the two men held here are the guilty
ones. They, however, say that they
answer description. One is a tail ;
and yellow and has a deformed right :
foot which causes a pronounced limp i
when he walks. He has tt decided
brouge in his talk, a fact which was i
commented upon :n G.ito:u.i by the
victims. The other i short and bla 'l;
and ha a black .mustache. i
Both lu-groes were arrested at
F.ula, ll.t.. 1") miles north of here j

ed her $12.00 for the antitoxin. The
Board does not raH at the druggist.
It appeals to his moral sensibilities
and asks him if he will cooperate in
saving lives by selling this medicine
at cost The family doctor can get
the medicine, and he is asked to da
jr so as he should xlook after the finan--W

j ! as the disease. Whenresults are the

NO HOME BREWING
TO BE PREM1TTED
Home brewing was, brought ac
tively under the prohibition ban to
day when it jvas learned that en
forcement officials had ruled against
the sale of hops and malt -to others
than bakers and confectioners.
Great secrecy surrounded the pro
hibition bureau's action, but it was
ascertained definitely that such in
structions had been issued.
Details of the order 'were lacking.
The only admission made prohibition
i officials in the absence of Commis
I sioner Kramer was the Volstead act
had been construed to mean that the
sale of hops and malt as component
; parts of home-made beer were with
i out the pale of the law and their
.sale must stop. Enforcement officials
throughout the country have been
notified of the government's deter
mination, but they have not been
supplied with the technical language
of the decision

When the body clogs don't try to

using strong physics that rend their

Use Sloan's Relief Tablets. They're
gentle as nature and yet do the work
unfailingly. Body gripe, and pains
which accompany the use of -physics
of the "dynamite" class, are never
felt when Sloap's Relief Tablets are

Besides, they cause no habit. In

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE
AROUSED OVER CONDITIONS
Students of the University of
North Carolina have started a cam
paign to tell the people of the state
the conditions under which they are
forced to live because of overcrowd
ed dormitories and inadequate eat
ing facilities. In the biggest and
most serious minded mass meeting
of the year held last week one thous
and of them resolved that if living
conditions, which were charac.tnriT.oW
by the student speakers as unfit for
men, wer to be bettered, it would
be by the efforts of the students
themselves. -.-
They have thundering vote of
unanimous approval to a program of
what they called "Giving: people
of North Carolina the facts,; as out-
lined by fheir student campus cab
inet and they prepared and voted
again unanimously to send a message
to the people stating their case.

The meeting was primarily for the
purpose of selecting a president and
other officers of the governing body,
no business affecting the. work or the
plans of the orphanage being taken
up. Another meeting will be held
in Charlotte within the next few
weeks at which time the future pol
icy of the orphanage will be-outlined.
Rev. A. R. Lapsley of Tarboro was
chosen as the president of the new
board, Kev. 11. Murphy Williams, of
Greensboro was elected as vice-president
and Mrs. W. B, Ramsay of ,
oi Hickory was made secretary. ; j.
Numerous committees and sub cam- b
nittees were appointed and the board
organized. The reports of the, sup- JJ
erinlendent of the orphanage and of
Mr. Walker were reviewed and a gen-
era! discussion of the plans concern'
ing the future work was taken up.
According to the plans of the Synod, H
more than half a million dollars will h
be spent within the next- five years H

Electric Light and Power Plant
Selecting an electric light and power plant i s a serious
proposition. You should know how to do it wisely. You
know, for instance, that the engine is the most vital
part of any plant and that severe vibration which racks
the engine to pieces is a menace always to be avoided.
No Vibration No Noise
The Silent lamo has a noiseless sleeve valve motor. It ir the
tno .t efficient and quietest running type of motor ever built. In addition,
there is no dangerous vibration in the Silent Abmo. Thus the effi
ciency of thsmotor is maintained, and steady, reliable service assured.
See a demonstration of this remarkable plant now. Learn for
yourself why it is preferred everywhere. If you cannot come in
today, 'phone or write for a representative.
