Cabarrus is finishing a fine road to

and Coneord. Stanly county should
meet Cabarrus at least byway of
I compromise and oil the road between
Albemarle and tire Cabarrus line.
Cater on this link will be hard sur

! ready to oil the gravel-lay link on the
Albemarle-Cbarlotte highway. Daring

has held out danger to every traveler
over it. And the same is true of
Stanly's part of the AlbemarlMo-

was to have a well day or be free
from pain. I could not eat a thing
without it hurting me and wotild suf
fer four hours after eating with gas
pains and bloating. The footl I ate
would sour and I could not eat any
food and properly digest it. I knew
from this t)iat my* digestive organs
were not. functioning in the natural
way. ‘so after being urgfu: to try
HERB JUICE for this trouble, I
finally decided to buy a bottle and give
it a fair trial. I will admit that I
was skeptical about HERB JUICE at
first, but after I had taken-one bottle
I noticed n great improvement aud
have since continued taking it until
today Ifeel as well as I ever did. I
don’t have any more trougle from gas
pains or bloating, in fact, can eat
anything I want without any ill ef
fects. That i« why I am so eager to
tell others about HERB JUICE, that
it has put me in such a splendid con
dition again that Jiving is the pleas
“*,ll. *j®u|jl**- Lave also found
HERB JUICE to be a wonderful lax
ative. for since I have taken it mv
bowels and also my liver are in ex
cellent working order and I' am not
bothered one bit with, constipation.
There is nothing too good that could
be said for HERB JUICE, for I
know that my improved condition of
health is due to the use of this extra
ordinary preparation.” i

WASHINGTON— A vtat>*u bus

from San Fr»nel*eo to Ha.wfe.il. by
the tailure of heavier-than-nir craft
to accomplish the most Important
part of the MacMillan expedition’s
mission in the Arctic, and especial
ly by the Shenandoah disaster
The dirigible is far harder hit
than the plane, so much ao that
It Is quite likely a full stop has
been put to its development In the
United States, at any rate for the
present.
Public confidence even in the
plane certainly has been consider
ably shaken.

New York, Sept. Is.— The world's
output of gold fs .enorfnous. Thifty’-
five years ago it was little more thaii
a hundred million dollars a year;
now it is over five hundred millidus.
Even so there i« not enough to go
round. The reasons for this are the
quantitites of the precious metal used
in- arts and crafts, and the even larg
er* Quantities hoarded and lost.
Jewelers are the heaviest eonsum
era. Every year they work up near
ly. a hundred and fifty tons of gold,
scarcely an ounce of which in ever
recovered. Gold leaf also consumes
huge amounts, while large quantities
are used for plating other metals.
But China and India are the worst
offenders. A form of piety in India
is to regild the dome of some religious'
building. Such an operation often
absorbs J 50,000 worth of gold. Not
long ago an Indian rejah used 17,000
gold coins to form centers of earii
piinute pane in the windows of his
b^laoe.
yletween ten and fifteen million dol
lars in gold vanishes yearly in India,
and quite as much iu Chiua. This
Is all buried, and as a rule the owner

lost forever.
Original Poetry.
Concord. Sept. 12— UP)— Whether
or not Concord is particularly suited
to composition or original poetry does
not; appear. Neither has it been
shown that residents of Concord are
particularly desirous of having their
poetical products given to the world.
lYhat is quite evident is that The
Concord Tribune does not solicit con
tributions of such poetry. In a front
page box, under the heading. “No
Moii Original Poetry,” the following,
haiappeared in The Tribune: I
'•’he Tribune is nothing if not ac-|
eoilmodating, hut in future we shall
be compelled to draw the line at or
iginal poetry. We always want items
of news, but we cannot get the con
sent of our minds to afflict our read
ers with original poetry.”
Football (tsu ohu) was played by
the Chinese several centuries before
the l ' commencement of the Christian
era.
