Be cause of an exciting time between three card swindlers and a victim on a Pennsylvania Railroad train between Baltimore and Washing ton last eveuing the police of Bal timore, Philadelphia and Wash ington will make an especial effort in co-operating v ith the railroad authorities to run down card sharpers and other swindlers who travel between these cities. To-day a man who gives his name as Peter X. Treader, is in Baltimore city jail, having been committed in default of $2,5o0 bail for a further hearing next hursday, on the charge of obtaiu- ng $150 from Robert B. Jennings, of Columbia, 8. C, by means of false pretences. Mr. Jennings, who is a prominent cotton mer chant of Columbia, was on his way to New York. He boarded a train Washington yesterday after noon. I reader got into conversa tion with him and stated that he was Secretary of a band in Mem phis, Tenn. Poker was suggested and two other strangers sat in the game After several hands Jennings was dealt 4 aces and when he had f 150 in the pot one of the "strangers" aid down a straight flash. Then they started to leave the game, bnt Jennings squealed and held on to Treader until the train reach ed the union station, and the po- ice were called. The other two men escaped. Home Made Whiskey Claimed as Cause. Death lies in the drinking of "home made" whiskey, concocted from wood alcohol, "bearing oil," flavorings and coloring matter such as prunn juice. A U. S. oflicial said yesterday that he was satisfied that the deaths of the two men who drop ped dead Monday morning were due to this combination and he predicted that other deaths would follow because he said that strict enfjreement of prohibition law made it difficult for a certain class" to procure whiskey and they, learning of some receipt for pro ducing chemical "whiskey", were concoting a combination with wood alcohol as a basis. As wood alcohol is a deadly poison but one result could follow if sufficcnt quality be taken. The people who will use the con coction are ignorant ot the deadly character of the stuff they use and are pleased that they get something alcoholic to drink for a small price. It is also stated that a few days ago a revenue officer found in the posession of a man here a quanity of wood alcohol and the other in gradients named and required him to pay S5 taxes Animal Oddities. The boa constrictor has 320 pairs of ribs. Swans keep water eompleteiy free of weeds The smalles quadruped is the pygmy mouse of Russia.

After 12 o'clock they begin to dilate un til dark, when they attain greatest Another Brownville Affair. Watertown, N. Y., Jan. 14. his town is much stirred up over the conduct of the Twenty-fourth United State Infantry, colored, du ring the past few weeks and almost another Brownville affair is threatened. In the last day or so two young white women have been attacked by colored soldiers and there has been much lawlessness of various kinds by the members of the Infantry. The situation lis getting serious and the people are demanding that something be done for their relief. ennesse Has Dry Times Ahead. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 13. The bill to prohibit the sale of intoxi cating liqnor in Tennessee passed the lower house of the General As sembly this evening at 0:15 o'clock. he vote was 02 to 30. Fifty votes is a majority. Twenty two Repub- lcans voted for and one against the measure. The measure passed is the one favorably acted upon yesterday by the Senate aud now goes to Cover. nor Pattersou. He is expected to veto it, but under the constitution his veto only operates as a suggest ion, not as a stay, and a bare ma jority may pass the bill over the Executive's unfavorable action. The Governor is allowed to hold the bill tire days. If at the expi ration of this iime it has not been returned to the Assembly it be comes a law without his signature. The bill provides that prohibi tion shall become effective July 1st, 1909. Explosion of Mine 200 Men Killed. Bluefield, West Va.. Jan. 12. An explosion today in the mines of the Lick Branch colliery snuffed out more than 100 lives. In these same mines two weeks ago to a day fifty miners were killed by a simi lar explosion. The mine had recently been in spected by experts and pronounced perfectly safe Debris of, former ex plosion had not been cleared away and h score were engaged in this work. Heavy machinery was blown through the mouth of the mine. The movement to get the Austra lian ballot system is cercainly a correct 'one. The Australian is a secret ballot. There is a booth somewhat like a telephone booth. Each voter goes in alone, prepares his ballot beyond the observation of anylwdy, drops it in the box and none may find out how he votes unless he himself tells. We should bv all means have the Aus tralian ballot. It purifies the vot ing and puts the political bush whacker and bully out of business. Charlotte Chronicle. THE CAUSE OF COLDS. j Good Advice Refardlnj The Pre vention of Coughs and Colds. If people would only properly fortify and strengthen their sys tem, about 98 of coughs and colds and pneumonia might be av oided. These troubles are simply the result of weakness, which i o duces a catarrhal condition of the mucus membrane, which is an in ternal skin of the body. Wbcn this skin is weakened, it bceu:iKs iufected with germs which ait carried through the system by the blood. These paracites atbick and break these delicate tissi;o and set upon a soreness which produce what is in reality an external scrofula. The only thing that will cure coughs and colds and prevent pneumonia is a medication which is absorbed and carried by the blood so that the diseased mem brane is disinfected, cleaned, soothed and healed. We have a remedy which we honestly believe and unsurpassable for the prevention and cure of coughs, colds and all catarrhal conditions. It is the prescription of a famous physician, who has an enviable reputation of 30 years of cures gained through the use of this medicine. We promise to either effect a cure in every case or make no charge for the medicine. We urge everybody in Lenoir who has need of such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. It stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give ourown personal guaran tee to this remedy if we were not absolutely positive that we could substantiate our claim in every particular, and we cau see no reas on why anyone should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two Isizes of Rexall Mucu Tone. Prices 50c, and fl,00. Sometimes a 50c, lottle is suffi cient for a cure. As a general thing, the most cronic case is cur ed with an average of three large bottles. Remember, the medicine will cost you nothing if you are not satisfied in every particular. The Lenoir Drug Co. Fire at Orphanage. Raleigh, Jan. 1(5. A long dis tance telephone message from Goldslwro says fire destroyed the entire main dormitory buildings of the Odd Fellows' Orphanage, in the suburbs of that city. The building was occupied by about onr hundred and forty chil dren, all of whom escaped unin jured. The building cost between 35,000 and 40,000. The fire is supposed to have originated from defective electric wiring. SAVNG PRICED.

Both are needless if your roof is Amatite. When you finish laying Am atite, take away your ladder, pick up your hammer and knife, go away and leave the roof to take care of itself. A few yean later jou may go back and look at it if you care to, but it won't be necessary, and there won't be anything to do. This is due to the fact that Amatite has a real mineral sur face a surface that is too strong to need protection too durable to require painting. If you buy one of the smooth surfaced roofings you will have to paint it every two or three years to keep it from leaking. In tact, such roofs depend on the paint almost entirely for their waterproofing qualities. Amatite on the other hand de pend? for its waterproofing upon double layf r of Coal Tar Pitch, .he gratet known enemy to water. Amatite comes in rolls of 1 10 square feet ready to lay. No special tools are required, and anyone can lay it properly. A Sample of Amatite will be , forwarded free on request. Send for it and see how much better it is than the kind which requires painting to keep tight.

There are dealers who sell Harness for profit only, and seldom care a rap for anything else. When we sell a set of Harness, our reputation as makers is at stake. We tan our own stock aud see that every strap is so proportioned as to stand the severest test. That is why we often see our make of Harness in active use for ten years and more.
