A special venire of 100 men was order ed from which -the jury will be drawn. A singular coincidence of the draw ing of the venire was that the name of R.

The name -was thrown aside. When the commissioners of the coun ty drew the list of names at their last session fur the purpose of pro viding jurymen and veniremen, Jet ton 's name was in the list.

If well laid plans arc properly exe cuted there will be numerous divorces in this fair city before ninny weeks. Oh, no! this not giiini: to be a re lation of a choice bit of scandal.

It will not lie tried in court and the individual will be judge and jury. If the divorce is gained it will be brought nbont hy the mighty force of individual will power. If it is not won it will evi dence that the influence of a seduc tive habit has overcome and made impotent that will power. The bat tle is on in the following case: Mr. Cigarette Smoker vs. Madam Nicotine. A slick-tongued salesman, selling a concoction, compound, preparation or combination for the absolute cure and prevention of smoking cigarette started the conflict between Will and Habit. The salesman arrived in Concord yesterday morning. He hud little difficulty in findins: numerous de votees of Madam Nicotine and, nc sooner did he "get neck" to a yellow-fingered citizen, than he proceed ed to expound the powerful curative virtues of the preparation and to picture the horrors and awful conse quences that would befall Mr. De votee of Madam Nicotine if the habit were persisted in. What he said made- many a yellow fingered citizen stop and ponder and the result was that numerous bottles of the stop-smoking immediately fluid are situated alongside of other prep arations in- the medicine chest today. Incidentally the agent separated the purchasers from $1 m real money. - The divorce proceedings started last night and todny numerous young fellows instead of taking a few whiffs just ttneork the bottle and take & few sips of the "no smoke" fluid, r Jlic salesmnn declared he sold 1,700 bottles in Charlotte and his sales here reached a neat figure The pmchasers declare they arc going to quit.

Monroe Journal. Monroe, like Statesville, is not cursed with saloon drug stores, and hasn't been in a long time. When the medical depository was estab lished here none acquiesced more eadily and honestly in the intention to give it a fair trial than the drug stores, and this goes to prove our oft made contention that people usually are more willing to do right than wrong if you make conditions such as will help them to do right instead of being a temptation to do wrong. When you put liquor in drug stores to be dealt Out on prescription you pretty nearly guarantee that both doctors and druggists will be unable to keep the spirit of the law even when they want to.
