It is strange that many of the old veterans walk a long way from , the conntry to be present at the ; annual and other business niect s ings of the Veterans' Camp, while others who are members living in and near town remain away; and take jio part nor Interest in the work of the organization. There is a great amount of truth 'expressed by the North Carolina Christian Advocate in the follow- ing concerning people who vote r Jor the sale of whiskey in cither sa loon or dispensary: 1 "Again, this traffic is entrench ed in a powerful avarice a greed for gain which makes friends for r it by. the thousand even among i those who do not care for the beve ; , . rage, r In fact, the men to be fear-. 4 v'ed are those who do not drink, and V- yet are heartless enough to profit . by the weakness and ruin of their ,viellownen.v It is the hurt that comes to the craft of such men as V these that causes the hue and cry . against all prohibitive legislation. t These with one common interest at stake will always stand together. They never divide. These are the nen who tell us that we must have aloVtaj"fce our towns attrac ts closing all :. llls-TntrToiiiiiioUrorirTTT to Vhtly all. It belongs to no individual or corporation, and therefore cannot, by reason of limit or congested traffic pass into the hands of a re ceiver. , -i. The price of every pound of food -or other farm product transferred to market is influenced by the con dition of public roads. Thus eve- - ry one has an interest in the road, ; Jind each and every individual, corporation and property holder . .should assist in its construction s and maintenance. ' r Third Misstrial for Nan Patterson. ., Nan Patterson has been put on - irial three times charged with the - -' murder of Caesar Young, - and in - each trial the jury was unable to agree on a verdict. The jury in ihe trial that closed lost Thursday was out twelve hours, and found n airreement to be impossible, and v vu discharged by the court. Nan Patterson is the only living person who knows who killed ' Young. The sympathies of the . public are on the side of the woman , and thousands think shptould be acquitted on gcner'ffrinciplcs, even if she did koung, as the ' ' circumstances ancTiionditions sur rounding the whole case were dis- justing and there is little symia .thy for Young. Nan is no saint - .herself, but the death of Young was little loss to mankind. It has - been intimated by the district at--. -torney tliat another trial will not be attempted. Should this be the lose Miss Patterson would be re leased either on nominal bail or " under her own recognizance and the indictment eventually quashed. Th Csll To Action Among Birds. V . Mr. Craig S. Thorns tells a nnm tcr of Interesting things about young birds in the 2Sm Idea ll : man'' Magazim for June, and . reks of the significant intona tions of a bird's voice as follows: "If one happens near a nest at a i iime when the young birds ' are aoie to come on, ana gives it so much attention that the parent birds are alarmed for the safety of their nestlings, they eall ', their young to leave the nest with a note - ' have never heard under any oth er circumstances? It is not a note of alarm, scolding or pleading, as when the young are helpless, but one of command, and command that has in it a note of encourage ment, and also the asHiirsncc of boinp; obeyed. This command the iieHtlings recognize instantly, and ' ,,., i .,,.. u i ,i. .J meaning;; tlieyabo The Veterans -Meeting, The Charles I llobinson Camp of United Confederate Veterans. met in annual session in the court house at 11 o'clock-last WednesKluy.

FRANK T. SMITH'S NEW DEPARTURE. Selling Medicine at Half Pries Under Guarantee of Cure. After two months of - remarka ble sales, Dr. F. T. Smith, the en terprising drnggist, says that his plan of selling at half prico the regular 60 cent aim of Dr. How ard's specific for the core of con stipation and dyspepsia, and guar anteeing to refund the money if it does not cure, has been the great est success he has ever known. He has sold hundreds of bottles of the specific; and as yet has not had ' one returned, although he stands ready at any time to refund the money should any customer be dissatisfied. Tins is the strongest testimony that can be famished to the great merit of this medicine. Anyone suffering with dyspep sia, constipation, liver troubles, headaches, diir.iness, coated to pie or the general tired feeling, caused by inactive liver and bowels or dis ordered digestion, should take ad vantage of Dr. Smith's new de parture and bay a bottle of Dr. Howard's -specific , at half price, with his personal guarantee to re fund the money if it does not cure, t The specific comes in tlie form of small granules, very pleasant to take, and each vial contains sixty doses. Under ?dr. Smith's spec ial half price offer, this means a month's treatment for 25 cents, with the best medicine known for the cure of constipation and stom ach troubles. If you cannot go to his store to day, send him your order by mail, as Mr. Smith has only a limited supply to sell at this special price. A Paper Traction Road. Col. A. E.
