Friday, May
The editor of this paper lias been
asked lecently why it is that Wil
liamstou's trees are never white
washed, and the town is not beau
tified. The only reason we can
give is that those in charge of these
haven't thought about it,
or they are spending all the mon
ey 011 the town hall.
We are afraid to say too much
about these things because we have
been informed, indirectly, that we
have nothing to do with the looks
of the town, either from the stand
point of the trees or the wooden
shelters. This we admit, inasmuch
as the editor is exempted fn.lll pity
ing town taxes, and the fact that
the paper is subsidized by the town
authorities —we print the town
financial statement once in about
10 years. [By printing the state
ment we let the people of the town
know what is being done with their
money, if it wasn't for letting the
eople know how the money was
spent v\ e rather suspect that the
statement would be published in
the paper at least once in a cen
tury.]
But, at the risk of being called
down again, and informed that it
is none of our business, we will say
this: our town should be made as
attractive Jis possible, and this i s s
-more important. mny than it has
ever been, WilliauistonV business
houses and the residences are in
keeping with much larger towns,
and the streets, walks and trees
should be keep in good condition.
Besides, whitewashing the trees
will preserve them,, and make the
town more healthful to live in.
If those who are in favor of hav
ing the town -look -clean and at
tractive will get together and pre
sent the matter to the commis
sioners, we ate sure that they will
do|what is best for the town, for
a majority of the commissioners,
we are sure, are in favor of having
our town look as nice as other
towns.

The City Hall is Hearing com
pletion and it seems to us that now
is the time to make preparation for
the lighting of it. We have heard
a number of citizens express the
opinion that the building should
be lighted with acetylene gas.
This would most assuredly give
the best light for the opera house,
as the gas light can be so arranged
that any light needed in any per
formance can be had. Besides, it
would never do to light such a
building as this with kerosene
lamps, because one can never tell
what kind of light there will be, to
»ay nothing of the time and trouble
iocideut to keeping the lamps in
condition. Don't let us build a
SII,OOO hall and put in the cheap
est lights that can be had. We
are building the hall for conven
ience and let us follow this, idea
out in all details.

when I brought a box of Bucklen's

Hon, Locke Craig, candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination, will
be in Williamson Monday and
will address the citizens on political
issues. It is conceded by all who
have heard Mr. Graig speak that
he is one of the ablest speakers in
North Carolina. Those who have
never heard this gifted son of
North Carolina speak should avail
themselves of this opportunity.
Those who have heard him will
surely be entertained, to say the
leist, if they attend the speaking
Monday.
A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is
that the whole trouble lies in the
stomach. The pains in the side
around the region cf the heart are
not necessarily heart trouble. We
suggest that you start with the
stomach and whenever you feel a
depression after eating or when
ever your food seems to nauseate
take Kodol. It will not be very
long until all these "heart pains"
will disappear. Take Kodol now
and until you know you are right
again. There isn't any doubt
al>out what it will do and you will
find the truth of this statement
verified after you have used Kodol
tor a few weeks. It is sold here by
Chase Drug Store and Biggs Drug
Store.
Profane Use of The Bible
(News & Observer)
Certain opponents of State prohi
bition have sought 'to indict the
Christian church and the Christian
ministry bv assuming to declare
that the Holy Bible warrants the
use of the sort of intoxicating
liquors that are doing more to de
strov the morals and efficient work
if North Carolina than anything
else. Every minister in every
church, so far as heard from, is dp
posed to the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors. They
have been at the business of a lifts
time to search the Scriptures and
expound the Word. They agree
that there is no authority in the
Bil'le for the profane use of texts
of Scripture employed to uphold
the liquor traffic,and that tlieTvorst
enemy of the Christian religion is
the still and the saloon.
A few days ago the editor of
The News and Observer wrote to
his school boy preceptor, Elder
Sylvester Hassell, of Williamston,
editor of Gospel Messenger, lead
ing exponent of the faith as held
by Primitive Baptists, and request
ed an expression of his position 111
the State prohibition campaign. 111
reply the following letter lias been
received:
"Williamston, N. C.,Mayy, 1908
"Mr Josephus Daniels,
"Raleigh, N. C..
"Dear Sir: —In reply to your
favor of May Bth I would sav that
distilled liquors were unknown in
Scriptural times, and I am opposed
to their manufacture and their sale,
both publicly and privately, as a
beverage. In very small quantities
they may occasionally be beneficial
to some people as a medicine; but,
when I buy a medicine and find it
contains alcohol, I pour it out on
the ground.
"Yours truly,
"SYUVESTKR HASSELI. "
This was what was expected by
all who know this man whose life
and character, as well as his learn
ing and instructions, were benedic
tions to his pupils as they were to
thousands who read his publication
and hear him preach the gospel.

wrench the teachings of the Bible
to uphold that unholy and demor
alizing business. Elder Hassell
says: "Distilled liquors were un
known in Scriptural times.*' They
are a product of a later age and
therefore the Hible cannot be
quoted in support of intoxicants.
The Attempt to do so is a profane
use6f the Bible. Let those who
choose to vote for the saloon and
still take unholy hands off the word
of God, and not profane His word
by using it as the refuge for the
establishments that make drunk
ards.

Notice
IMease don't let anyone know!
you received this note. I looked
over the policy, this might delay
your collection. I —not the least
harm against one of this for pure
love. I can't explain as I wish,
but you can understand. Tell
Grover uot to pay anything but his
own debts and be sure have a home
I love every bone in every oue of
you and freely do this before you
shall fall.
Second writing it is all mighty
hard to do but I have not been
treated right by so many but— not
parties—l can do it with grace to
keep my own family from coming
down in financial affairs. You and
Grover have both made yourselves j
for me and all my trouble was in-'
tended to elevate my family, but {
you see it has failed and I can't i
see my little children naked and j
bare-looted and in disgrace, 1 hate i
this only on account of t heir
protection. Still I know you
will stick to them aud see that they
have a home. You have all been !
true loving children to me, and
your mamma is an exception.
Please don't gritvc for me, and
don't lie afraid of me, by all means
don't do that.' Don't allow any of
own folks see my face, tell them it
is against my will. Don't spend
one penny of unnecessary money
in burying, leave my burying
ground to your mamma. Be sure
not to let anyone see this as I told
you in others, and feel it is all done
through love. Good bye and God
bless you all.
IMease never, never take a drink.
The above is a copy of the letter
written by Mr. McLohon a few hours
before he was found dying, shot
through the heart at the Episcopal
Church gate on the night of Feb
ruary 17, 1908. From it one can
see that the act was planned after
much deliberation. Thinking
that if the fact was fully established
his family could'not collect bis in
surance, he insisted upon secrecy
in the matter eyen as.he lay dying.
In their grief the wife and sons
could see no other course but to
respect his wishes and remain sil
ent. Later realizing that a cloud
rested still upon the law-abiding
people of Williamston, they wrote
to Sheriff Crawford stating the
truth and asking that the mantle
of charity be thrown over their act.
Every citizen of the town is glad
to know that the mystery has been
cleared. Many believed from the
first that McLohon was a self-mur
derer. Believing that, they still
sympathized with his family and
deplored the untimely end of the
husband and father. There is no
bitterness toward the family for
letting the deed cloud for a time
the good name of the town. Under
the circumstances, they knew no
other course, and desired to respect
the wish of the dying man.

Shoop of Racine, Wis. Not a
grain of real Coffee in it either. Dr.
Sboop's Health Coffee is made
from pure toasted grains with malt,
nuts. etc. Really it would fool an
expert— who might drink It f6r

"The Bar"
%
(From the Presbyterian Standard,
August 5. 1903-)
"The saloon is sometimes called
a bar. That's true.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell:
Whoever named it named it well.
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A bar to honor, pride and fame;
A door to sin and grief and shame
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer.
A door to darkness and despair,
A bar to honored useful life;
A door to brawling senseless stiife.
A bar to all that's true and brave
A door to every drunkard's grave,
| A bar to joys that home imparts
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to honored, usfeul lite;
Whoever named it named it well "
Mr. John Ritha of Yining, la.,
says, "I have been selling DeWitt's
Kidney and Bladder Pills for about
k year and they give better satisfac
tion than any pill I ever sold.
There are a dozen people here wboj
have used them and they give per
fect satisfaction in every case. I
have used them myself with fine
results." Sold by Chase's Drug

When you think of Indigestion
think of Kodol, for it is without
doubt the only preparation that
completely digests all classes of
food And that is what you need
when you have indigestion or stom
ach trouble —something that will
act promptly but thoroughly: some
thing that will get right at the
trouble at d do the very work itself
for the stomach by digesting the
food that you eat and that is Kodol.
It is pleasant to take. It is sold by
Chase Drug Store and Biggs Drug
Store.
