A New College for Methodists.
The Methodists are to have a
great college for girls at Maxton,as
the plans for Carolina College
shows, and there is already so great
an interest in it that even as its
buildings are going np there is in
sight a great success for an institu
tion that means so much for Meth
odism. The board of trustees of the Car
olina College met in Raleigh this
week in the Normal class room of
Edenton Street Methodist church
Rev. J. E. Underwood, of Rocking
ham, president of the board, pre
sided. The meeting first hear the report
of Rev. Euclid McWorter, the fin
ancial secretary. This showed that
the affairs of the institution are in
good shape, and that the work is
progressing steadily for its comple
tion. By a unanimous vote the
board re-elected Rev. Euclid Mc
Worter as financial secretary.
The board then discussed the
best means for having the buildings
complete at an early date. It was
finally decided to issue bond in the
amount of$50,000 and to use this
in completing the plant, which is
already in good shape, $41,000 in
assets having already been contri
buted. Carolina College at Maxton has
about it a beautilul campus of twen
ty acres in a grove of stately native
oaks, having an ideal location for
a college. It will be owned and
controlled by the North Carolina
Conference, which is supporting
the movement.

Four Towns in the Canaries
Doomed.
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, Nov. 2t.
Four towns, in the path of the
streams of lava that are thrown
out by half a dozen craters, are to
day threatened with destruction.
The situation is critical. Inhabi
tants of the apparently doomed
towns are fleeing, and those of the
fifth, Arguayo have appealed tor
aid. The four chiefly endangered
by lava are Tanque, Tamaimo,
Chashna and Santiago.
The entire island in rocked
almost continuously by theTiemor
that accompany the violent ex
plosions and eruptions. Ashes
darken the sky all over the Canar
ies, floating many miles. Ravines
and gullies are filled with lava.
The situation about Mount Bilina
today was more ci itical than ever.
Flames -ire shot from the peaks to
great heights, sometimes reaching
more than 1,000 feet. From all
over the island refugees are fleeting
to Santa Cruz.
The government has started work
on the opeuing of a way from Guia
to SauJuna on the cost. The Red
Cross has a large organization in
the field.
The Bloodhound and the Con
vict. "Dave Harris was a convict and
escaped from a farm, was shot at
several times while making his
escape, a bloodhound was put on
the tract.
He was chased to Tar river,
where he plunged in the water,
the bloodhound being close on his
heels, clinging to his shirt, and
was towed across the river and
there killed by Harris, who made a
complete getaway." Afteiward
Har ris was captured by au officer.
How he killed the noble blood
hound is not stated, but it is sup
posed that, after loosing the feroci
ous least from his shirt tail, he
choked it te death, or else took it
by the tail and dashed its brains
out. Talk alRHit- bloodhouuds,
when one couldn't make good even
after he had firm hold of the caudal
appendage of his victim's shirt!"'

The Commission From of Gov-
eminent.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Last May the town of Higi
Point adopted what is known as
commission from of government.
Asked to give some information as
to ther operations of this system in
High Point, The Fnterprise, in
furnishing the desired matter, ex
plains at the outset that the High
Point plan is on a modified scale;
there beii)g eight, instead- lof four
commissioners. The affairs of the
town are divided under eight heads
each commissioner having a de
partment of his own. The Enter
prise says that the charter creating
this form of government restricts
the city from going into debt and
the council can spend no money
that is not in hand. The com miss
ion from of government also re
quires that monthly statements be
published, which gives every citi
zen in the community an oppor
tunity of seeiug just exactly the
condition the city finances are in
all through the administration.
Under the commission orm the
mayor, if he chooses, has a vote in
the couucil aud it also gives him
veto power and he is, strictly
speaking, supervisor of the entire
affairs of the city. He not only
has veto power, but has the right
to suspend any officer for neglect
or malfeasance in office, aud this
decision can only be changed by a
two-thirds vote of the council. "On
account of so many drastic changes
which are necessitated by the
charter," says The Enterprise, "is
has taken some time to get every
department of the city systematiz
ed and even after this is done it
takes time io get accustomed to
the changes, but taking it as a
whole and judging so far of the
few months work in which the city
has operated under this plan, it is
going to prove very satisfactory
in every way. And more than
anything else it is going to get
the affairs of the city on a business
basis, and we doubt aftej its trial
of two years that anybody will
want to return to the old w ay ol
conducting the municipal affairs.
If there is anycritcism at all to be
mode on the form as used in High
Point, it is that possibly the city
could facilitate matters somewhat
if there were four commissioners
instead of eight. However, it
seems to please the majority of our
people that the representation ot
the board be larger and perhaps it
was best iu the beginning to divide
the work as it was done here. We
believe that in a tew mouths time
the city of High Point will be able
to show to the other towns iu North
Carolina that there is no other way
of conducting the affairs of the
city except through the commission
pla'i of government."
That is a very good showing for
the system as tried out iu High
Point. It could be improved, no
doubt, as The Enterprise suggests
by reducing the number of com
missioners byjialf, but as it Stands,
it seems to work an improvement
over the old order of things.

TiitY INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.
You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for chil
dren. Only the very gentlest
bowel medicine should ever be
given, except iu emergency cases.
Ordinary pills, cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause griping,
nausea and other distressing after
effects that are I requently health
destroying and a life-lasting an
noyance.
We personally recommend aud
guaiautee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire satis
taction, and we urge all in need of
such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an en
tirely new ingredient which is odor
ess, tasteless and colorless. As
an active agent, it embraces the
valuable qualities of the bestkuown
intestinal regulator tonics.
Rexoll Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particulorly
prompt and agreeable in action,
may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause diarrhoea,
nausea, griping, excessive looseness
or other undesirable effects. They
have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which
they come in contact, act as a posi
tive and regulative tonic upon the
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel
and its dry mucous lining; remove
irritation, overcome weakness, to e
and strengthen the nerves and
muscles, and restore the bowels
and assoeiate organs to more vigor
ous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely re
ieve constipation, except when of
a surgical character. They also
tend to overcome the necessity of
constantly taking laxatives to keep
the ttowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose so good as Rexall Or
derlies, especially for children,
aged and delicate persons. They
are prepared iu tablet form, iu two
sizes of packages: 12 tablets 10
cents, and 3ti tablets 25 cents. Re
member you can obtain Rexall Re
medies in Lenoir only at our store,
