' :-l SKIN DISEASE BACILLI KILLED BY WINTERGREEN Liquid Penetrates to the Roots of Dis tressing Ailments and Gives '.-.' Quick Cure. . . .. - . Oil of wintergreon that simple liquid ; so well known to every druggist in the ; Innd is just coming to be properly ap-! preciated. Its value long has been known ! to the medical profession, but only in' recent years litis it been found that a proper mixture, -combined with other soothing .agent, acts instantly in nil ! eases ot eczema and other skin diseases, stooping iniiiiedinte'y "that' awful itch. Since skirt diseases have been classifiel bv the medical profession with- germ dis cases, the skill of the doctor tins been bent to getting to the roots of the dis ease. It has: been ..found!, that oil of iviiitergreen, properly pccparcil with oth er necessary ingredients, while ii self not. affectinir in the least, the delicate texture of the healthy skin, gets to the base of it, attacks the germs lodged there and destroys them. One of the doctors to whom great eredit is due in developing this discov ery is Dr. Decatur I). Dennis, who, by combining oil of wintergreen in proper proportions with several other remedial agents, devised a LIQUID REMEDY that did away with greasy ointments and old fashioned stomach remedies. The medi cal men were prevailed upon to give the general public the benefit of this lotion in the shape of "D. D. D. Prescrip tion," now put up by a Chicago house, the company which makes the famous D. D. D. skin soap. "For three years I have suffered in describable torture from an aggravated ease of eczema of the hands, known as tetter," writes E. Clifton Taylor, of Germantown, Philadelphia. "The itching and burning ot times was almost un bearable, and everything I used salves, ointments and washes only added to my discomfort. "Then I immediately began the syste matic use of D. D. D. Prescription sup plemented by D. D. D. soap, and now, after the use of six bottles, I am happy o announce myself CURED. "I am also cured of the habit of us fcg ordinary soap. "I am recommending D. D. D. Soap tnd D. D. D. Prescription to everybody." A few drops stop that awful itch, and eontinued use means a quick curefor eczema, psoriasis, salt Theum, ringworm, dandruff and all other distressing dis eases of the skin. Get a bottle of D.'D. D. Prescription today, and stop that itch AT ONCE. Galloway Drug Company. '1 bar nied roar T!nnM Cnnnti nd And Uiera pr(oot.

Smith and others of Charlotte, charged with conspiracy and violation of the alien immigration laws, has arrived in the city from Xew Eng land, where he has been studying labor conditions in that section. Mr. Costello has retained counsel in Xew York, and probably will bring suit in a short time against about fifty newspapers published in Xew England for items appearing in their columns re lating to himself and his connection with the immigration question m the south. Mr. Costello says that Xew England cotton mills aie seriously in need of more help in their work, and that the manufacturers and labor organizations are making a great effort to keep im migration away from the south. He de clared that a 'statement' had been pre pared by some of t lie labor organiza tions in Xew England, to he sent to English newspapers for publication in which it is set forth that there are con ditions existing among the help in smith cm mills that are simply unbearable, and that employes -work. from -fourteen to sixteen hours per day and get something like fifty cents per diem lor their la bor.. . .': NEGROES SOCIAL GOMPRKY AKAIfil GOMES TO CHIEF (Continued From First Page.) pleted load number one, and with Po liceman Marsh at the helm and the blue cap of Health Officer Simpson peeping over a barrel in the rear, "Black Maria." with sails set, they headed for police quarters.

The load was a heavy one, and old "Jake" made one or two stops on the long journey in order to recover his wind, but he eventually managed to complete the trip and the first consign ment was unloaded.

Taylor, of Southport. is a lawyer who will be heard from in this state. Twice in succession this young man has carried that county Republican. He won one of the most remarkable victories this session when he secure the passage of the Wilmington compulsory pilotage hill in the face of the violent opposi tion of the Democratic representative from New Hanover. Although the pilots had opposed Mr. Taylor's election WlUISC they thought a Democrat might lini-n m rrr mflimnna lit daaiipiiiiV r hit InillJ. have more influence in securing this legis lation, yet ho was elected and carried their measure through the House, while the senator being for the bll it passed the latter body.

His most bril liant stroke came the last Saturday night of the session when the two fac tions of the Democratic party were war ring over amendments to the antitrust bill. Mr. Hsr.shaw precipitated a regu lar panic in the Democratic ranks when he clearly pointed out that according to Speaker Justice's interpretation the faction headed by Ex-Lieutenant -Governor Doughton was not Democratic and that the party was hopelessly divided. Dr. R. T. Coleman, a quiet, popular physician, a man whom the people in stinctively trust, redeemed Clay county for the Republican party. C R. Pugh, a lawyer of Wancluse, the youngest man in the House, a recent graduate of Trinity Coll ege, represented Dare coun ty as an Independent indorsed by the Republicans. Mr. Pugh is an able, clean young man. He returns to his consti tuents with a fine record, having se cured for them the legislation they most desired. Representative A. T. Grant. Jr., again came from Davie -county and he added to his reputation as a lawyer and a keen and ready debater. Mr. Grant took a prominent, part in the discus sions and he made fur fly when he locked horns with the speaker. When the socalled antitrust bill was pending in the House Mr. Grant. '(dearly showed that it was a partisan measure intended to hit some interests and pro tect others and he offered amendments to make it apply honestly and fairly to all. He drafted and introduced an amendment which would prevent the Xews and Observer, the protended op ponent of all 'monopolies,, front enjoying a monopoly of the Associated Press dis patcher, which 110 other morning paper cm get here, and he put' the Democrats, with four exceptions, squarely-; on rec ord in favor of the trust of their party organ. Graham county, which is usually rep resented by a Democrat, sent W. I Rose, to this legislature and he fully protected the interests of his people. M. ('. Rector, a lawyer of ability, determi nation and deep con vicl ions, again rep resented Henderson county with credit. Dr. J. X. Candler, of Dills-boro, a man who previously represented his district in the Senate, was representative from Jackson. Although from the -mountains the fishermen of the east should know that it was on 4iis motion that the ob jectionable fish tax bill was tabled. Macon Fooled Them. The news went forth hist Xovember that Macon county had as usual gone Democratic and a sent was picked out for the Democratic legislative nominee from that county. However, when the House convened John Burnett, of Etna, appeared to take the oath nud Ins cre dentials showed that he had been suc cessful by a majority of thirty-five in the county which for years wa repre sented by Frank Ray, Democrat. Mr. Burnett's course in the House showed that the people of Macon were -wise in trusting him. The Republican county of Madison this year had as her representatives Lewis J. Hniley, Esq., a young attorney of Marshall. Mr. Bailey made a fine record, .both in general legislation and local matters. In the face of strong op position lie secured the passage of a bill repealing the law which established a whisky dispensary at Marshall and made his county dry. ,1. C. Bowman, a teacher and one of the most highly re spected men in his wtion. again" rep resented ' Mitchell county. He is inter Have you much brain work? Try eating Grape-Kuts every day for 10 days and see how much better, you can work. "There's a Reason First Page.y ested in all school and temperance legis lation. Pamlico county reversed herself last Xovember and had on the floor of the House ,J. J. Brinson, a successful trucker of Bairds Creek. He waa an industrious, intelligent gentleman, rep resenting the best interest of that sec tion. The fact that H.'.T. Britt, of Roxboro, carried Person county by a majority of 109 is sufficient evidence of his ability and popularity. He has twice been reg ister of deeds and knows every one in his county. He championed a bill to abolish the whisky dispensary in Rox boro and it passed the House, but was killed in the Senate. Mr. Whitt bas a farm and other interests in his county. The little county of Polk was repre sented by H. C. Morgan, one of the' most substantial men in that territory. He prevented the appointment of a tax collector for his county. Sampson's two Repubuicans were Thomas E. Owen, of Clinton, the owner of several saw mills, and James T. Kennedy, of Maltonville, merchant and farmer, both substantial, good men. Mr, Owen made a hard fight with his .colleague to save the county from the Democratic outrage imposed upon it and delivered a strong denunci ation of the course taken by the Demo crats. il. T. Halseback. a prosperous farmer, represented Stokes county, and he and his senator succeeded in defeating a Democratic, bill which would have lit erally stolen the control of that county from the Republicans. John H. Albright, editor, of Mt. Airy, represented Surry, and there was not ft more genial, popu lar man in either branch of the general assembly. He was well equipped for his duties and was successful in pre venting the attempt to appoint a Dcn crntio board of audit and finance for his Republican county. Prof. Y. W. Gibbs, a young man of fine education and high character, represented Swain. While a successful business man at Whittier, he takes a special interest in schools and was keenly alive to legisla tion pertaining to educational matters. W. D. Farthing, a young lawyer of Mnline, was fortunately sent to Raleigh by Watauga, and his efforts prevented the divisions of the county by accom plishing the defeat of the bill, favored by Senator I-ovcll, Democrat, to create Park county out of Watauga and Mitch ell. Wilkes county sent two Republi cans to the House in the person of Dr. Charles G. Bryant, a physician of Roar ing River, and Charles H. Cowles, at torney, at Wilkesboro. Dr. Bryant couples energy and determination with irreproachable Christian character and unflinching courage. He showed breadth and grasp in handling public questions. Mr. Cowles . 'has before represented Wilkes. These is no cleaner or more conscientious young man in thought and deed in public life in this stntc. He is well equipped and has laid the founda tion for a career of brilliant service to his state. Dr. Bryant and Sir. Cowles achieved a notable victory when, on the floor of the House, they' defeated a bill to tax Wilkes for a bridge, although Congress man Haekett was striving hard to lobby the bill through. They thwarted every effort of the congressman- to restrict the rights of the ivople in that county. Mr. Cowles won ii,; favor of working men -by-, championing-the bill to place the union label on state printing done by union labor. He also strongly favored extending the provisions of the grand father clause, but the Democrats de feated his effort. Yadkin county, which can always be depended om had for her representative Frank W. Haines, a well educated and thoughful lawyer of Yad kinville. He gave a good account of himself in the legislative halls.

The carriers are granted authority to establish such joint tariff upon ten days' notice to the public and 1-a 41ia nnmmiaGiAn In the case of the Birmingham Pac ing Company against the Texas and Pacific Railway Company and others, the commission ordered that a through route and joint rate thereover of not exceed ing fifty cents per 100 pounds be estib j lished and maintained for the transpor tation ot heel cattle In carloads from Fort Worth, Tex., to Birmingham, Ala. In the case of the Blaekwell Milling and Elevator Company against the Mis souri, Kansas and Texas Railway Com pany it was shown that upon shipments of flour and other grain products the carrier had in force an arbitrary chargo of five cents per 100 pounds to be ap plied in addition to its regular trans portation chnrges upon shipments re ceived from connecting lines, but it dis- enntiniiort tmnnaitinn nf nrltitrnrv plmrmia effective February 11, 1007.
