Stockholders of Kings Mountain Cot. ten Oil Mill Company Decide Up on Vast Improvement. Charlotte Observer. Kings Mountain, April 5. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Kings Mountain Cotton Oil Company was held in the company's office here yesterday. The plant which was in operation about half the usual time the past season made about 1 6,000 gallons of oil, just half the amount made the previous year. This curtailment in production Is due to the high prk-e of cotton seed which prevailed last fall. A divi dend of 4 per cent was declared and ordered paid and the stockholders decided to double their plant, which will be done this coming summer. The buildings are already large enough and It will not be necessary to erect any more buildings. The additions to be made will be, two 1 Inters, one press, one heater and one hydraulic pump. Mr. J. B. Hambriglit, who baa been secretary and treasurer for the past year, re signed and the duties of this office will fall on Hhe president, Mr. G. D. Hambrlght. Mr. J. W.

Who's that prosper ous looking fellow over there? Native. That's Squire Shuvvel, the millionaire ditch digger. Every body laughed at him years ago when he refused to become a doctor or a lawyer and even turned down the correspondence schools' offer to make him a window dresser or an electric engineer. Time proved his i wisdom, and today, as the only un skilled laborer In this section, he can command almost fabulous prices. A DEAD STOMACH Of What Use Is It? Thousands? yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treat ment daily. They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature. This is no sensational statement; it is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not deny. These thousands of people are swallowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made especially to digest the food in the stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stomach. Ml-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed stomach In five minutes; they do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough to digest its own food. Then Indigestion, belching, sour stomach and headache will go. - 'Ml-o-na stomach tablets are sold ty druggists everywhere and by J. H.

SOME FIFTH CENTURY JOKES The Ab..ntmlnd.d Prof or Was a Proline Sourc. of M.rrim.nt to th. J.t.ra of ThoM Days- Th. S.uro. of Many Mod.rn Jokes. The maxim that there is uotblng new under the sun applies. It would seem, more truly to Jokes and witti cisms than to anything else. The chief differences between the Jests of one generation and that of another tie mainly in their form. The keruel Is practically the same. Nevertheless It Is interesting to exhume some of these ancient Jokes and to recognize in them the ancestors of the things at which we luiii:U today lu the pugns of our humorous publications. Some humorous writers dearly love to make fuu of the abseutminded, un practical university professor, who outside of his own subject lets his wits wnuder and Is very slow to grasp anything In ordluary life. Such jokes as these were cracked centuries ago hy the students and graduates of the great universities lu ancient Greece, for It Is a mistake to suppose that what we now call "college life" was unknown to the ancients. As a matter of fact, the student at the University of Athens or at the University of Alexandria was very much the same sort of mortal as is the studeut today, and his professors were not so very different. A witty Greets uamed Ilierocles. a graduate of Alexandria, collected some time In the fifth century a volume of jests which were current among the students with regard to the woolgath ering type of professor. A number of them are translated here as being of considerable interest In the history of humor nnd especially of college hu mor: A professor, wishing to swim, was nearly drowned. whereuion he swore that be would never touch water again until he had learned how to swim. Of twin brothers, one died. A pro fessor thereupon, meeting the sur vivor, asked. "Is It you that died or your brother?" A professor, learning that a raven would live for more than 200 years. bought one to test the matter. A professor, wishing to cross a river, went on board the boat on horseback. When some one asked the reason he answered that he wanted to get over in a hurry. A professor, looking out of the win dow of a house which he had bought. asked the passersby whether the house was becoming to him. A professor, meeting another pro fessor, said. "1 heard you were dead." "And yet." replied the other, "you see that I am still alive." "Well." said the first In perplexity, "I don't know what to believe, for the man who told me about It Is a much more truthful man than you:" A professor. In danprer of being ship wrecked, called for his tablets that he might make his will. Seeins; thereupon his slaves lamenting their fate, he said. "Do not grieve, for I am going to set you free." A professor dreamed that he had trodden on a nail and that the wound pained him. On waking he bound up his foot. Another professor, having learned the cause, remarked. "It served you rhjht. for why do you sleep with out sandals?" A professor, meeting a doctor, hid himself behind a wall. Some one ask ing the cause, he answered. "I have not been sick for so long a time I am ashamed to come Into the sight of a physician." ( A professor, wishing to teach his horse to be a small eater, gave him no fowl at all. At length, the horse hav ing starved to death, the professor ex claimed. "I have suffered a great loss, for Just as he had learned not to eat he died!" A professor, visiting a sick person, inquired about his health. The invalid, however, was not able to reply. There upon the professor, being angry and scolding the man. said, "I hope that 1 shall be sick some of these days, and then when you come to ask how 1 am I will not nnswer." A professor sealed up a vessel of wine which he had bought His serv ant having made a hole In the vessel beneath and drawn off some of the wine, the professor was astonished to see the contents diminished while the seals remained unbroken. A neighbor having told him to look whether it had not been taken out from below, he re plied. "Why. you fool, If s. the upper part of the wine and not the lower that Is mlssingr A professor, a bald man and a bar ber traveling together agreed to keep watch in tarn four hours, each while the others slept The barber's turn came first He quietlj shaved the head of the sleeping professor -and when the time elapsed awoke him. The latter, scratching his head as be got up and finding it bare, cried out: "What a, rascal that barber 1st He's waked the bald man Rutead of me!" Exchange. . - " L'ol Advloo.'

What do jroo do to such cases 7 .-Judge's Ubraryy, V Judge Boyd Threatens 1 to Bend to ' ' Jail Any One' Discovered Spitting on Floors Court Room. ' - Spitting on floors 'is a common', and at the same time a disgusting and dangerous practice. Federal Judge Boyd does not stand for H, In his court rooms as will' be seen from the following extract from a talk to ; the court room audience one day this week In Charlotte: "The first man I catch spitting on the floors," he said, "will he given the opportunity of spitting on the floor of the Jail for two or three days, for to that place I'll send him. Some people seem to think a court house has no more claims on their respect than has a stable and they think nothing of covering the floors with tobacco Juice; and it seems Im perative that they must scratch their names on the walls or if they know a little rhyme or piece of In decent poetry, add this, too. The man who would spit on a court room floor would do the same thing In a gentleman's home if he were not afraid of being kicked out. Well, he will not be kicked out of here, but the marshal will escort him out In an orderly manner." Representative Webb has intro duced a bill in congress appropriat ing $100,000 for the erection of a government ouildlng in Morganton. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases oue of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which Is nothing but an In flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caus ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

The Gazette's next serial story will be "Cherb Devine," which is proving to be one of the most pop ular of the late novels. The story is located in Wall Street and Long Island, homes of realism rather than romance, one would say, yet the things that happen in the tale are most remarkable and romantic, without seeming at all unnatural or improbable. As for Cherub, he's no hero of the traditional variety. He's a capital fellow but he doesn't claim to be a hero at all and he keeps yoa laugh ing even when he's telling a girl how much he loves her, for his way of wooing is certainly unique. It's an unusual story, not only in Its humor and the kind of charac ters it makes one acquainted with, but in its situations, for without seeming to be a novel of mystery it keeps you guessing and fools you at several turns in the plot. The latter is ingenious and full of surprises, still you can say to yourself that It is Just what might happen even in the prosaic State of New York. Yes, even the episode of shutting a count up in an ice house that might happen with such a resource ful fellow as Cherub on the job, in deed this was a trifling performance in comparison with his smashing the Rimmer crowd and electing himself president of the P., Z. and U. But we mustn't tell all the story read it. GOOD-BYE DANDRUFF. A Clean Scalp for Everyone Who Wants One. Parisian Sage will kill all dandruff germs and 'banish dandruff In two weeks or nothing to pay.
