(treat System Builder.
"My case seemed hopeless when I
began using HERB JUICE. With tile
first few doses I begun to feel better.
It is a great laxative and system
cleanser. HERB .H'K’E lias brought
me lasthig freedom from my suffering
anil I would be glad to know that ev

Continuing his statement to the
HERB .II'ICE demonstrator, Mr.
Shoe said: "Living is now a pleasure
since I haove taken the HERB JUICE,
treatment. Before I used it. 1 was
hardly able to eat anything at all.
My stomaeh was in a terrible condi
tion. Gas pains and bloating spell’s
gave me a lot of trouble. I was nev
er able to get my rest and sleep at
night ami would only arise in the
morning feeling worse than when I
went to bed. I had a poor appetite,
little energy or strength to do any
thing. A disordered stomach and
constipation had gotten the best of
me. I was looking for something that
would give me relief aDd restore me
to a normal condition jot health. In
HERB JUICE I found the right rem
edy. Since I have taken it my stom
ach is in splendid working order: I
can eat three meals a day. enjoy them
and I now properly digest my food.
The gas pains soon vanished after I
began using this medicine, further
still, my system has been thoroughly
cleansed and regulated, so much so
that I am not bothered one bit with
constipation and J am feelin* better
in every way than I have in yiffiers. In
my opinion, HERB JUICE is the best I
laxative and system regulator on the
market today for stomach trouble ami
constipation. I truly hope that t, y
testimony may be the means of Induc
ing other sufferers to try this great
system cleanser, for I am sure it will
be of exceptional benefit to them as
it Inis been to me.”

TRYING TO MISLEAD
Statesville Daily.
Strictly speaking, the free discus
sion of the Hchmond rounty homi
■ ide, in which newspapers generally
have indulged, hasn't been exactly
fair in advance of the hearing. But
on the face of it tile slgying was
seemingly so coldblooded, it so much
resembled an assassination," and the
added fact that the perpetrator of the
deed was a man of wealth and influ
ence. the temptation to remark on the
seeming brutality of the homicide and
the probable fact that the slayer might
be able to defeat justice because of
his wealth and standing, was irresist
ible. The defense has made no state
ment except to say that evidence will
lie produced at the proper time to
justify the killing: .and it is further
explained that the. slayer is not a
millionaire, as lias been# published, but
that she i(i jrprth uo[ Jnorethan a
half million. ,if that. That,"lt may
bo'remarked, is amply sufficient. Men
worth a ipimjied thousand dollars even
do not usually stand before the law,
as the practice shows, as one who has
nothing. It is useless to pretend
otherwise. That fact is so well recog
nized that it is hardly a subject for
debate.
The assertion that the slayer in
this case can vindicate his conduct
is calculated to confirm the impres
sion that there is much reliance on
wealth, whether it be a half million
or less. For the lawyers for the de
fense well know that there is no le
gal justification for the keiling. It’
may be established that the dead man
was guilty of an offense which, is
sometimes wiped out by what is called I
the “unwritten law,” but .which in |
principle is the same as lynching. I
But it is well to remember that fhere
is no legal justification for killing ex
cept in defense of one’s own life.'
And in the face of the claim of justi-1
fixation it should also be remembered
that when one commits .the offence
which is sometimes offered is justifi
cation for taking human life, it is
the custom so rthe aggrieved to look
up the offender. In the Rocking
ham case the attack was made under
circumstances that suggest a sudden
flare of passion that would not have
provoked the homicide but for the
meeting of the enemies. That the
dead man expected no trouble is evi
denced by the fact that he was not
prepared, was taken unawares.
Neiher Mr. Cole's wealth nor
standing should be held against him.
The evidence he has to offer byway
of excuse should be received with an

A True Fabry Tale.
Who says that fairy takes are
false? Once, and it was only yester
day, there was v a little girl whose par
ents were poor. But she was as
good as good can be though she Is
only 11 years old, was thankful for
what she had and wanted all the
litte children cooped up in tenements
in the big city of New York to have
an opportunity to enjoy the grass
aud the trees of the country and the
exhilarating air of the seashore, .ays
the Philadelphia Inipiirer.
She conferred with her playmates
and they formed a vacation club.
They appealed to all good people of
their little'thwn on Bony Island and
received donations. They held a bazar
on Saturday and it was a wonderful
success, providing funds to take
scores of city children into the open
places for a vaentiou.
On Monday the good fairies re
warded little Mary Elizabeth Ruth
land. for that is her name. They
waved their hands in concert, and
what, should appear but a postman
bearing a letter sealed with the most
important kind of seals and stamped
with marks Os a long journey over
distant aeas? Inside was the an
nouncement that Mary Elizabeth's
father was the heir to an estate of
1 £300,000 amassed by his brother who
died recently in the Argentine re
public.
| And now Mary Elizabeth can have
!al the beautiful things for which
I one longs when one is 11, nnd one’s
parents cannot afford to purchase
them. And, doubtless, she will have
; herher omn treasure chest to draw
I upon as she continues to be as good
as good can be.
Her Favorite.
Druggist: Yes. miss; you'll find
that most ladies like this lipstick.

you?
