Winston-Salem. N. C July 18. 190. Mr. J. T. Shuntrlne, Savannah. Qa. Dear Sir: Nothing give me greater pleasure than when I am singing the praise of Tetterlne. I consider It beyond doubt one of the best skin preparations ever offered the suffering ones. Some ten years ago no mortal coula have been In a worse state from eczema than myself. I had tried every remedy, blood purifier, skin salve, yet I seemed worse, unttl I was one mass of Itching ores. Tlfe simply a burden. I could not sleep. Could do no work. The physicians could not help me.. I Was simply des perate. Glancing over a newspaper I received from a lady In Texas who wrote you telling her condition and what Tet terlne had done for her;, her case was so much like mine that I concluded that 1 would try it. feeling that if. she could receive so great a benefit it might help me. After two or three applications 1 never saw such a. sudden change. I am happy to say that I am wen again. My case being so bad it took a lot of !t. l have never known It to fall to cure ever? case yet. I make a special offer to any one suffering with Tetter. Ringworms and Bczeraa, etc., that if It is used properly and fails to cure, I will refund their money. I have yet to repay any one. Whenever I see any one here suf fering from Tettev, Ringworm, etc., I prevail on them to get a box. stating to them that if it falls, come to me and get their money back. I have had the pleas ure of curing many with It. Sincerely yours. P. S. Early. Tetterlne cures Eczema, Tetter, Ring Worm. Ground Itch. Itching Piles. In fant's Sore Head. Plraoles.

The Beagle a Rabbbit Dog. The beagle is the rabbit dog. He is best adapted by size, pace, nose and tongue for this work. Large hounds, or even those of the harrier type, cannot do the work so well and are more at a loss on quick turns and doublings, to say nothing of their seeming something radically wrong in pursuing bunny with dogs adoapt- ed to larger and stronger jgame. The beagle and the rabbit were made one for the other, and properly done, there is no better day to be had afield than one with a good pack of these little dogs. It is a pack you must have. One dog or two or three are not the same thing at all. Take sev en or eight of the little fellows, well matched, and go afield on foot and get your game. Then Molly Cotton tail will take on a new value in your eyes. To see a pack once, running swiftly, tonguing merrily, picking up the turns, at a loss for a moment, scattering, catching the trial, packing again on the re-discovered scent and finally running thir game to the death in the open, will convert you, first in to a beagle lover, and second, into an advocate of hard condition in the field. Todd Russell in The Outing Magazine for February. So.-8-'09. Making Good (?) A bashful dentist upon being pre sented to a fashionable bud couid think of nothing to say. At length the situation became decidedly em barrassing, and, swallowing the lump in his throat with a desperate gulp, he ventured timidly: Miss Smith, I hope I may consider that we are not entirely, unacquainted I pulled a tooth for your father last Monday." The bud faded away, and the dentist is still wondering why his fraternity friends made him settle for "four rounds." Bohemian Magazine for February. A flattering speech is honeyed pois on. French.

"There's a Rea- one a.mo , ,ctu'- a. new JSZT frm Ume to tte. They ;.rnan GOV. KIU 1 11 IB Sends Message to the Legis lature. IN ACCORD WITH PLATFORM Urges Amendment of Anti-Trust Law of 1907-Give Attorney Gen eral Adequate Opportunities. After a brief introduction of the subject the Governor says: "An opinion has been placed before the people in the press, that the present law cannot be enforced, though noth ing was suggested to strengthen or render the law enforceable. I con ceive that whatever difficulty exists, is largely in the machinery for its enforcement. Two years ago many able legislators thoroughly consider ed anti-trust legislation. All realiz ed the difficulty of the State's copiug with the evil against which their ef forts were aimed. A bill was con sidered, which by its supporters was thought the best that could be devis ed. It became a law in all its es sential features save one." He quotes from the last Demo cratic platform these words: " Private monopolies should be de stroyed. Conspiracies by prospective purchasers to put down or keep down the prices of articles produced by the labor of others, should be made crim inal, and all persons or corporations entering into such conspiracies should be punished." The Governor says the opportunity has come to muke such conspiracies criminal and to prescribe punishment for such conspirators. "Failure to make such conspiracies criminal can be justified only in case it can be clearly demonstrated that the convention was wrong in adopting such a platform. "A mere statement of the proposi tion that a conspiracy by purchasers to put down the price of an article produced by the labor of others, is wrong,, is so clear and convincing -n its simplicity, that it would seem idle to argue its justice to any American legislative body. Every community which produces more than its people consume, must suffer tne oppression that comes from any artificial de pression of the price of its products. A community producing peanuts, cot ton, tobacco, wheat, lumber, or other article in excess of its ofn consump tion of such article, its unjustly de prived of material wealth, hindered in its industrial development, weaken ed in its revenues, injured in its edu cational progress, and crippled in all its social life, by conspiracy of men or coropration, which puts down the price of such article. The univesaily acknowledged principle of self de fense, applicable to States as indivi duals, would destroy a conspiracy so damaging in its effect and so general in its blight. The duty of repressing wrong and protecting those who cau not protect themselves, requires the law makers to put the whole power of the State against such conspiracies. I therefore recommend that the General Assembly comply with that declara tion, because it is right and ought to be the law, and because the dominant party is pledged to its enactment; and I also recommend that the put ting down or keeping down by pur chasers of the prices of articles pro duced by the labor of others, in pur suance of such conspiracy, be made criminal. "Assuming, as I do assume, that the General Assemb1 will amend the law in acordance with the specific platform utterances, I recommend that the Attorney General be given the power and charged with the duty to institute action, civil or criminal, in the Superior Courts of this State in Wake county, or in any other coun ty of his selection, in any and all cases of violation of any of our anti trust laws, or any amendments to them. Where such laws are violated most, it may be difficult to have suc cessful prosecutions, on account of the fear and favor which the wrong doers inspire and exert in the com imunity. ' "I m of the opinion that after per fecting, as far as possible, our anti trust laws, declaring the offenses and prescribing the penalties, it is im portant and even essential, to confer upon the Attorney General the duty of undertaking its enforcement, and of selecting the venue subject to the power of the court to removal in its dicrptinn. for troTer cause, and of giving him every proper authority oL i 3 iTir.lnflinT t.Via rnni- secunng eviueuue, iunuu.urt pulsory production of books and pa pers, the examination of witnesses prior to trial, and all other powers appropriate to the full discharge of duty in the faithful execution of the law.

Birmingham, Special. - Talking through Louisiana,' Mississippi and Alabama, just like campaign days, the President-elect had on Saturday the gratification, which he evidently enjoyed, of being heartily received by large and enthusiastic crowds who had not voted for him. He talked from the rear platform at Hattiesbnrg, Miss., in a vein of pleasantry and then touching on the Canal subject he said: V "The Panama canal is going to be built," he declared," and what Iwant every American citizen to do, is to stand by the men who are building it. (Voices: "We will do it") Don't set a fire in the rear, don distrust the men that are giving up their strength and energy and enterprise to put that great work through. When you have agents who are doing your work, you stand behind them. If you don't, you cannot get your Work done. The men who do your work are entitled to your help and enfidence and you ought not to allow yourselves to be led astray by buncombe speeches on the floor of the House of Repres entatives, or bv headlines in sensa tional newspapers, and go back on the- A 1 1 B - ) men mat are aomg your work. "I don't care whether you are Democrats or Republicans, you want the work done and when the artny engineers who are doing this work are giving all heir time to the carrying out of this work, you are not men to go back on them and to believe every idle story that comes from the mouth of some politician who is seeking to make himself prominent or to give himself the advertisement oi a little unfounded sensational statement. "That work is being done honest ly. I know what I am talking about. It will be built and all the wind op poition that comes merely from a de side to exalt and exploit the man who makes himself responsible won't ob struct it. "I know what the people of the United States want in that regard and in so far as I have power, as the Executive of this country, I am going to push that work and I am going to stand behind the men who are do ing it. And now, gentlemen, you have gotten me into more heat than I excepted but I think you very much much for your welcome.' Policeman Fatally Shot. Salisbury, Special. Policeman W. A.
