Six weeks ago I began drinking water from the Blue Springs and feel that I have been greatly benefited by it. MRS. W. R. ARTHUR July 11, 1913. Askin, N. C. Mr. W. D. Ipock, Dear Sir, For two years past I have been sick and under the care of two of the best doctors we have. But after drinking the Blue Springs water for two days I felt more relief than at any time while taking the doctor's medicine. Before drinking the water I could not sleep without being propped up in bed, now I can sleep lying down as well as any- body, The water is till helping me and I shall continue drinkinn it a while loneer. Yours trulv B. D. CAVTON July 11.1913. Edward. N. C. For the last twelve months I have suffered with pains in my breast, shoulders and back. I. could not eat anything without it hurt me and not any meat at all. I was'so weak I could not hold out to dodmy work. I was advised to try Blue Springs water, so I have been drinking it two months, and my pains are gone. I can eat all I want of anything. Can do my work now and feel like a new person. I can recommend Blue Springs water to every- body. Yours, MRS. E. R. BOYD, July 10, 1913. Askin, N. C. For many years I have had chronic dysentery. In March I lost my appetite, and lost flesh until I was run down so bad I could hardly do my farm work. I began to drink Blue Springs water little and I thought it was helping me, so I told our family doctor about it. He said drink the water. So about six weeks ago I began to drink about one gallon a day. My appetite is good. Am gaining flesh, can do my work O. K. now, and I advise all run down people to drink Blue Springs water. I think it will help them as it has me. Signed, J. M. WILLIS, July 12,1913. Askin, N. C. QUERY BY A MEMBER OF THE CITY BEAUTIFUL CLUB. One of the rules laid down 'by those who have studied the question of health in the City is "Foodstuffs for sale should be screened."

WILL THEY BALK ON COLOR LINE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS DIS LIKE IDEA OF NEGRO AS REGISTER TREASURY. Washington, July 26. President Wil son's action in selecting Adam E. Pat terson, a negro of Muscogee, Okla., for Register of the Treasury, at a salary of $5,000 a year incensed many South ern Democrats today. His confirmation is extremely doubtful. While none are willing to be quoted at this time, there is considerable mur muring among members of Congress against the new nominee, who had the endorsement of Senator Gore. As the position has been held for years by a negro, quite a number of colored men were applicants. George C. Clement of Charlotte, had the en dorsement of several members of his State delegation for the place. Democrats from other States say they had been waiting hopefully for a Southern man to reach the White House to end the rule of negro office holders. TJiey were disappointed at the selection of Patterson, who is a negro lawyer. The nomination of Patterson caused a stir in the Oklahoma delegation in the House. It is said that Represen tative Carter was the only one of the eight Oklahoma Congressman who supported Patterson. Representative Davenport said: "I believe this man is capable, but I do not believe any colored man should be placed in a position of au thority over white men and white women. I do not think we should do anything to accentuate the race question.!' Representative "Alfalfa Bill" Mur ray declared the nomination was surprise to him and characterized the President's action as a political mis take! "The "grandfather clause" in the Oklahoma Constitution has made ne gro voters a negligible factor in poli ticsr Other members of the delegation decline to discuss the matter for pub lication. Patterson has written a number of ' treatises on the Demo cratic party. George W. Waters was today rec ommended for postmaster at Ply mouth by Representative Small, as a result of a Democratic preferential primarily held there recently. Mr. Small returned today after a week's visit to his home. The nominations of the following postmasters werp today confirmed by the Senate: A. C. Links, Hickory: L. T. Summer,. Ahoskie; D. Earl Best, Warsaw; John F. Saunders, Troy; Daniel L. Windley, Belhaven. Joe Tayloc, clerk of the Finance Committee, has returned to the city. W. V. Davis of Taylorsvillc and John A. Barringer of Greensboro were visitors here today. The nomination of O. A. Snipes, recommended by Reuresentative Kitchin for postmaster at Rocky Mount, has been held up in the Sen ate Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads. Inspectors sent to Rocky Mount to investigate the charges against the incumbent have made a report which has been laid before the committee. Upon Representative Kitchin's return to the city he will have a conference with Senator Simmons about the case. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion has again postponed a decision on the furniture rates from High Point to Boston. A decision was ex pected on July 28, but another post ponement of six months was announced today. GIRLS BEAT MATRON SENSELESS Six Incorrjglbles Led By Negress In Attempt To Escape. Pittsburgh, July 26. Incorrigible girls detained by the Juvenile Court attempted to escape last night, after severely beating the matron, Mrs. Mary Kilrain. Mrs. Kilrain is in a serious condition, and Lucy Johnson, a 17-year-old negress, is in jail charged with assault. Harry Bakei-, in charge of the boys' department, heard Mrs. Kilrain's screams and when he reached the girls' department he found the matron in a pool of blood, and beside her a blood stained table leg. He made a quick search of the rooms and found the Johnson girl with the ma tron's keys trying to uunlock the doors in an effort to escape. With the Johnson girl were six other inmates. According to these latter, the John son girl planned the attack. They said all retired at the usual hour and later the Johnson girl stole out of bed, broke aleg from a table and beat Mrs. Kilrain over the head until she was unconscious, and then took her keys. fas Children Cry Tho Hind You Hare Always Bought, and which has been In use for over 80 j has hornothe signature of and has been made under his per- Yir J&J-f1?

APPEAL TO HIGHER COURT! Brain And Vital Organs Of Mll-V lionaire To Be Held Pend ing Decision. Baltimore, July 26. The petition of the United States Fidelity and Guar anty Company for an independeni chemical and pathological examination of the brain and viscera of Edward 0. Painter, of Jacksonville, Fla., who died with $1,250,000 insurance on his life, was granted yesterday by Judge Duffy, in the Circuit Court. Operation of the order was stayed by an appeal taken on behalf of Mr. Painter's widow and daughter, who resisted the peti tion. The case will not be heard by tin Court of Appeals until the October term. In the meantime the brain and internal organs of Mr. Painter which were sent here for examination win De Kept in oottles in tne sale in the Clerk's office of the Circuit Court. Prof. Charles Glaser, who made a chemical examination of the viscera saia tney win ie Kept in condition for examination liy the fluid in which they were placed. Mr. Painter, who was in the fertilizer business, fell overboard from a ferryboat in the St. John's river on May 22 last. He held an accident policy for $20,000 issued by the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, which con tended that under the terms of its policy it had the right to have an ex amination made of the brain and viscera of the dead man besides that made at the instance of the coroner. Judge Duffy said that the company had the absolute right to make the autopsy it asked for. If the family of Mr. Painter had any right to take the vital organs out of the body, he also said, that right was subordinate to the right of the company to do so. The Judge did not think there had been any waiver of the company's rights, and if the company is to be sued on the policy, he added, it would be a gross injustice to deny it the right to make an examination. Judge Duffy's decision was rendered immediately following the argument of the case by Attorney Randolph Barton, Jr., for the Company and Attorney Arthur L.

E REIGNS IT Leaders Of Last Week's Revolt Removed To Another Prison. SIXTY TAKEN TO AUBURN Those Who Remain Are Com pletely Worn Out By Three Nights Of Strife. New York, July 26. James M. Clan cy, warden of Sing Sing Prison, found today, the convict who set fire to the prison mat shop on Tuesday afternoon which resulted in a $150,000 loss. H found also (he convict who attempted to burn the rest of the prison plant yesterday morning. It i3 intimated that a grand jury investigation will follow. Indications pointed tonight to a re sumption of normal conditions. The greatest argument for peace was the drafting during the morning for trans f- A..1 ri - t m f . iu auuurn i nson oi ou ot tne worst felons in the institution. These in cluded 34 second-termers and 26 first termers burglars, most of them, with l sprinkling of highwaymen, yeggmen and thugs, the "scum" of the prison. is the keepers call them. The transfer was effected only through the exercise of the grestest precaution. Thev were taken to the Auburn Prison. which all convicts dread, by rail. Another quieting agency was the phy sical exhaustion of the convicts. The strain of three nights of yelling, kicking ind cursing brought sleep at last, and when the convicts tumbled off to rest the warden, too,' rested for the first time in a week. Tonight there were still some rumors in Ossining of continued insurrection, of more fire, stabbing of traitors, and even of plots to blow up the prison by dynamite. The warden turned a deaf ear to all these. The warden said he planned to con sult all the ringleaders and ask each his grievance. If he can get their as surances of good behaviour he will wipe out all the bad marks which have been earned during the last few days )f mutiny and disorder. He will, however, insist on the punishment of the men who incited arson and as sault. In searching the men selected for transfer today sharp knives, one im provised saw, billies and blackjacks were found in their clothes. The knives had been stolen from the kitchen and shoe shop. The first to greet the convicts outside the prison yard were photographers. In an instant, despite the heavy chains on their legs, the convicts made a rush for the camera men. With their unshackled hands they picked up stones from the gravel path and hurled them at the photographers. A thousand villagers, mostly women, fled from the scene. About 50 guards who led the felons lost their heads and stormed the photo graphers, too, permitting no pictures to be taken on the State's properry. From the cell house came deafening roars as the convicts passed. There were curses for the guards and even for the chaplains who walked at the end of the procession. Insults were hurled at the women sightseers. When the convicts reached the railroad platform it was ne cessary to stretch a rope to prevent them from pushing the guards in front of the fast trains which passed. During the afternoon 500 to 600 con victs were released from their cells .al though about 400, including the strik ers and other mutineers, continued in confinement. At ,i o'clock the waitings of these 400 ceased. There were 20 alls for the prison physician during the next half hour. Each of the com plainants said he was suffering with a sore throat. Sleep then overtook the tired convicts and silence that Sing Sing has not enjoyed for 70 hours reigned. Kurt Schoenhecr, the wiry little for ger, whose escape last Saturday fo mented trouble, was captured tonight. He had been found in hiding under the ceiling in the prison knitting factory in a shaft 11 inches wide and less than four feet long. Fellow prisoners had given him food. MATT H. WHITE DEAD.

Why shouldn't a respectable eat alt on the fence and bowl when extract from its family history read Ilka this: . "Throughout the tertiary formations, from the upper eocene onward, there appears a remarkable family of cats, with a dentition still more specialised, than that of toe retinae, the true Ca nnes, retaining other skeletal features of a more primitive type of cats. These were tho moehnerodontluan, w,hlch survived until (he pleistocene, both In Europe and In America." The information was found in a geology student's paper, "The Evolu tion of the Domesticated Cat" Per haps you are a little rusty on cat his tory and you find it difficult to remem ber. This Illuminating bit of informs, tion will freshen it in your memory: "The pliocene period was the period of the carnlvora. The fellds Included the macberodonts, macnaerodus and aelur opsls, besides varieties anala gous to the leopard and lynx. In this epoch appeared the Nervals (Fells chrls- toll). At the time of the Fella cbruv toll there appeared also the European. wild cat. Fells catus. The earliest feline In America was Fells binianua. It appeared in the middle pliocene." Kansas Industrialist AN ENGINEERING FEAT. Buiidlng a Railroad Across tho les and Against Tims. Along the Copper river valley Ues a standard gauge railroad, 101 miles ta length, the building of which was filled with romance. Its construction is re garded as a distinct feat in world's engineering. The road crosses the riv er between two glaciers (Chllds and Miles). The false work of the bridge was laid on the Ice In winter. Men were hired to work night and day. M. J. Heney, the contractor, the man who built another "impossible' road across the mountains from Bkagway, and hi chief engineer, B, 0.

As the spring approached1 hundreds of men were kept busy every minnta of the day and night, for If not com pleted by the time the Ice buret all the work and material would have been lost The ice went out, carrying the false work with It, less than an hour after the spike was driven in the connecting span and tbe work was completed.
