Farmer Wanted To Die As Christ Did With Lawyer on One Side and Doctor on the Other He Felt His Desire Was (1 ranted. Wilson—An amusin'? story is being told in which three noted local men • arc starr. in their respective roles -a i armor, leading attorney, and an em inent physician. The farmer, who was as straight as a string and never allowed himself to owe any man for any length of time, and who loved his morning nips ns well as any man who ever “looked upon the wine when it is red”—per haps as well as did his professional friends—after being confined to n:s fed for a considerable time, came li the conclusion that perhaps he had l ent his elbow too often and let toe juice of the apple trickle down his gullet in larger quantities than was good for the inner man. He was mad* con-.cions that the time was near foi him to prepare for crossing the “great divide." Witli this premonition in mind, aim wishing to die as he had lived, he sen for his lawyer and loetor. When the professional nun arrived at his home he called the doctor to his bedside and said: “Doc, 1 ain afraid my time .ias come: don’t hesitate to tell me what you think." The doctor was frank and told him the* Death Angel was hovering near. After calling his wife to his bed 1 ride, the farmer said to the doctor, “Come to the right side and take my hand,” and to the.lawyer “(let on the » opposite side and take my left hand.’ Then ho inquired of both "Do you know how much 1 owe you?” On I icing informed, lie commanded * his wife to pay both at once, and >■ then exclaimed: “I want to die ns did I Christ, between two thieves.1'— » Greensboro Daily News.

Webb tells t;,c ; island jury at Charlotte, according to the Charlotte Observer, that the coun try Ik better and more prosperoc1 : because of prohibition, crime is less, I and “the K’ghteer.th amendment is one of the best obeyed laws ill the country." The judge's view may seem surpris-i i:% to some who hare had the impres- • , sien that the prohibition law is la ii.g 1 | violated on all sides. However, in liiesy l da\ when our “(lime cohipjex” is be-; big so frt-ely disc used as to jfive one! the idea that every law in the. land is j being lieiplently violated, it Mould pc; haps lie bill’d to say in t which is the \ “best obeyed'’ law. The judge may *.o j rights, but that may riot be saying any-' thing nutch f ir the prohibition law ! His lateiiunt that before the prohi i bit.Ion law there v. as a much greater percentage of crime than there is to day is likely to be questioned. The in- j crease of crime in America during the i past few years has been the subject I of much : concern and alarm. There i.-1 a very general belief! that lawlessness ‘ in many forms has shown a great in crease in recent years. Possibly J Judge Webb intended to convey the idea that crime duo particularly to ! liquor was less. A not her rederal judge—-Judge ii. II. Wat kin- scorns to regard the sit- | nation with less optimism. \Yith the Convening of the Federal court in 1 (Iieenviilc, .Judge Watkins suggested ; to the grand jury that "the “breaking down of our observance of law is due. to the breaking do\vn of the general moral sense.” The judge does not refer ; to the prohibition law, but to all law : violation, and appears not to regard he lic;u<>r law itself as being any di - rect cause of disregard for law. Judge Watkins puts forth the Idea' that crime and InWkssners start in ; dl. honesty, which is, of course, a fuir- j (lamental moral laxity. There is nua n i food for t hought in his suggest am. I Actual erime may be considered as es sentially dishonest, for crime is the! Wanton deprivation of rights and liltsi ties legally enjoyed by other citizens. ! Dishonesty is a moral crime, and j from moral crime to legal crime is a; very short and easy step. The judge I points out that a man may be consid ered dishonest if hi' lives extrava gantly and doesn’t pay his debts; of if he wastes his substance and fails to provide for his family or other ob ligations. It is seldom that we can put folks in ,faij for such defections. With One \ccord. Charlotte News. The newspapers of the State and of the Country at large are printing praiseful editorials concerning the late Christy Mathewson, which bring to mind afresh the fact that it is al ways profitable not only hut publicly impressive so to live, no matter whether one is, a baseball player or engaged in the more serious and achieving tasks of life, that there ir something good to he said at the last. Mathewaon’s life is being portray ed as one worthy of emulation not so much because of bis baseball cunning, his genius as a performer of skill in the greatest of all the American gam es, hut because, chiefly, in his per sonal life, he was industrious, honest, conscientious clean and upright. When that sort of a man dies any where, no matter what he has been doing nor where he has lived, wheth er humbly and fur from the reach of the applauding masses, or out in the great open where the throngs have cheered as they were thrilled — whenever any man who has lived and wrought like that dies, the world is not as well off its when and while he lived. A humun heart weighs nine ounces iiml a sweetheart may weigh as much three hundred pounds.

SAYS IT’S GREAT SYSTEM BUILDER Another Kannapolis Mill Man Gives HERB JUICE Credit For Restor ing His Health. “I am most pleased that it was my good fortune to learn of HERB JUICE in time to save me from fur ther suffering. I neve)- knew whnt it was to have a well day on account of constant gas pains which ! suffered as a result of stomcah trouble and in digestion. Such would be my condition today were it not for HERB JUICE,” said Mr. J. E. Lowder, well known cotton mill man connected with the Cabarrus Mill, Kannapolis, N. C., and resides at 781 Juniper street, when he called to see the HERB JUICE representative a few days ago. “In my opinion,” Mr. Lowder continued, "HERB JUICE is the greatest medicine on the market to day and 1 am most eager for all to know what a truly wonderful remedy it is for indigestion and constipation. On account of gas pains and bloating after eating, I was almost afraid to out anythin?. Everythin? seemed to disagree with me. My liver was slug gish and I always had a tired, worn out f ■( ling, due I believe, to being ladly constipated. 1 could not sleep at night and would get up the next morning feeling worse than when I went to bed. My whole 'system was out of order, for I needed something to purge rue and clean my system. In HERB JUICE I found the very remedy i was looking for. Ever since I began using this medicine I have gained in weight and strength until today I am feeling 100 per cent improved. 1 have never found the equal of HERB JUICE for indigestion and constipation. The gas pains and bloating have stopped, my liver and k dneys act regularly, also my bow els are in good shape and 1 am not bothered with constipation. HERB JUICE is the best laxative and tonic I have used, and 1 know I owe my present improvement in health to this wonderful remedy. I will always praise it and recommend it to any one suffering as I did, for I know from experience it will do the work and do it well. My whole family are taking HERB JUICE with wonderful results.
