ir. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va. Mr. Chas. A.
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.
In pit of stomach, and a feeling of fuLI
ness after eating, are sure symptorriPm
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent reliel
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford's Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure

Louis Walk Out.
In St
St. Louis, Aug. 13. 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

better working conditions.
A few minutes after the strike was

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.

TOOK YOUNG DAUGHTERS FOR
A WALK AND FAILS TO
RETURN.
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.

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
