Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have been taking Thedford's Black-Draught for indigestion, and other stomach troub les, also colds, and find it to be the very best medicine I have ever used. After taking Black-Draught for a few days, I always feel like a new man." Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pair.

Nino hundred garment workers struck today in obed ience to the order issued by the joint board of Cloak, Skirt and Ladies' Tailors' Union. The order applied to every cloak, suit and skirt factory in St. Louis and the strike was announced as a struggle to better working conditions. A few minutes after the strike was called, the men and women who had walked out in the down-town district paraded through the streets to union headquarters. According to estimates by one of the manufacturers, there are 30 or more garment Manufacturing establishments in St. Louis and 1,100 employes in the trades. The principal demand of the strikers is straight pay by the week instead of ' piece work and the closed shop. The stri ers demand that skirt cut ters shall receive a minimum of S23 as week and that cloak, suit and coat cutters shall receive a minium ni nl $26. The scale f , r h::t pi-re.-. .-': to be allowed, the strikers demand hall be agreed upoa in each shop between the manager and a union committee. The strikers ask that 47 1-2 hours constitute a week's work, double pay for overtime, and that a preference be given to union men in giving employment. EXPERT COMES AUG. 30. Dr. R. II.

Leaving his home in this city last Sunday afternoon, presumably for the purpose of taking his two daughters for a walk, Dean (King, a young white man who has for several months been employed with a local firm, disappeared and has not since been heard from. Domestic trouble is assigned by King's friends as the cause of his action. Several months ago King came to New Bern from Raleigh, leaving his wife and children in that city. A short time later his wife had a warrant issued charging him with non support and he was taken back to that city. The two settled this difference and Mrs. King accompanied her husband back to New liern. It is thought that King has placed his children with some relative while he has gone to some other city and secured employment. CONCERNING WHISKEY ON PRE MISES OF R. L. COX.

Brown, both good citizens of Onslow, were present at the time and will testify that Mr. Lilly did not enter the house or anv ol my moldings, and 1 can furnish further evidence if necessary. Kindly publish this in your next issue." Mr. Lilly states in connection with the foregoing that he does not wish to enter into any controversy with Mr. Cox, but the fact is that he did go in Mr. Cox's house, into his smokehouse and into his store, but not for the purpose of making a search as he had no search warrant. Mr. Lilly says however that he did notellthe Journal reporter that he found more than ten gallons of whiskey in the house but did tell him that he saw about five gallons of whiskey. He does not recall whether he told the reporter definitely where he saw the whiskey, but is sure he did not say to the reporter that he saw it in the house, The fact was, that he saw it in the store( and what he meant by saying 'that he saw about five gal lons was that he saw a box that he LIKE WIDE-WEST HOLD UP.
