Sues Father For Attention To Wife Greenville.—Charging that his father ‘‘maliciously undertook to alienate the affections" of his young and pretty wife, B. G. Hughes, Parker road, opened suit against his sire in Common Tlras court here in an effort to secure $20,000 punitive dam ages. Apparently suppressing emo- i tion with difficulty, the defend ant, A. B. Hughes, of Mulberry street remained in the court room throughout the day while attorneys for his son called numerous witnesses in attempts to provr that the father "ac quired an improper Influence'’ over the plaintiff's wife, “en ticing her from home and har- j boring her in his house for sev eral months to the great dis tress of the plaintiff's mind and body. The complaint claims that the son lived happily with his wife for 24 years before the father “by enticement, attentions and gifts of money and property, caused her to leave and come to his home." The defendant denies the charges, adding that the plain tiffs wife, Mrs. Othello Hughes, was forced to leave her home because of cruel treatment. Because she was a member of the family, the answer continue*; the defendant gave her shelter in his home. All testimony in the rase was completed yesterday and the matter Is expected to be given to the jury this morning follow - ing attorney’s arguments and Judge Mauldin's charge. The Duke Memorial. • From The Asheville Times J The memorial to the Dukes is eminently appropriate. Washington Duke and his sons. James B. and Benjamin N. Duke, were foremost among those North Carolinians who laid the founda tions of this state's industrial ad vancement. Having made millions in tobacco and hydro-electric power, these men gave millions to -educa tion, to the building of hospitals, to the church. The Dukes, father and sons, are gone from life but their works live after them, in the field of material production, in education's discipline and in the promotion of public health. A committee is now engaged in raising funds and making plans for a monument to commemorate the achievements of the Dukes and their use of great wealth’s power for the common good. It is a cause that will commend itself without reser vation to the people of North Car olina. - NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION This Is to notify all persons that the partnership composed of P. M.

(Cnited States Senator and former Health Commissioner of New York) (Inquiries may be addrescd to Dr. Copeland, rare. The Star, Shelby, N. C. If you desire a personal reply, enelose a stamped envolepo.e ad dressed bark to you.) "Blue Monday" is famous for its depressing effects A few people appear to have the blues on Monday and every other day of the week. They arc constantly in the dumps. To them life seems not worth while Everything and everybody m. Wk'LUMt, seems to be working against you. An early death or an asylum of sente sort is thought to be the only thing left. Life Is a failure! If you ever linn the blues you know the symptoms. The funniest joke will not bring a smile—on the contrary it seems stupid to you You do not enjoy contact with family or friends. All you ask is to be let alone, to die as soon as possible. Isn't this a dreadful picture? Yet how many times you have gone through Just such an ex perience. When the cause of these spells commonly railed the "blues.'’ is established they will not seem so serious. Nine times out of ten an upset digestive system Is the root of the evil. Indigestion, constipation ana me resulting ciubbui* u* -- are the real reasons lor your knowing you are going to die. Hie intesti nal fermentation produces gases and toxins which poison the system. We must not expect to disregard the laws of nature and still enjoy good health. You cannot have an unclean intestinal tract and perfect functioning of mind and body. They simply do not mix. Overeating—eating too much of certain foods such as pies, pastries, rich gravies or meats, a combina tion of rich foods, will upset the digestive system. You cannot eat three regular meals each day and then cat between meals and before going to bed, without paying lh? penalty. A headache, perhaps nausea, the blues and many other symptoms will surely follow such abuse of the body organs. The machinery of di gestion and elimination can break down Just as machines of wood and metal will rebel if overworked. Waste no time in correcting the trouble. Take a cathartic like cas tor oil, follow this with citrate of magnesia or milk of magnesia. Then reduce your diet to simple liquid or soft food for twenty-four hours. Your will be surprised how soon all your troubles will disappear. The blues will fade away and everything will be rosy. With this warning from Nature, correct your habits. Eat less often and with more judgment. Take a short brisk walk each day. Exer cise your muscles. Occupy your mind with pleasant thoughts—seek books. You will be surprised how such a manner of living will affect; your disposition as well as your health. Answer To Health Queries. H. O. Q—How can I reduce?

Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississ ippi, is lmding that his speech at the Charlotte reunion of the Con federate veterans, in which he be moaned the industrialization of the South, was not well received a.i/• where in this section. The sena*. >r was speaking to a group of aged veterans and perhaps he felt that he should dwell on the glories of tl e old civilization in the south, when agriculture predominated. Due al lowance is made by the senator s critics for the setting of his speech. Yet, he probably would be found that the veterans of the Confeder acy, though cherishing the tradi tions of the old south and contin uing loyal to its principles, are fully cognizant of the material progress that has come to their revered land with the development of industry, and welcome it. The south is Ideally adapted to many varieties of indus tries, and their coming is changing it into one of the richest sections of the nation.. The southern people are interested in industries as never before, and realize their future pros perity depends largely upon tVm. Any southern statesman who is ui different to the south’s industrial progress is out of harmony with the sentiment of his people. She'll Know Her Notes.

L. Smith, of 253 North Third Street, this city. I ‘‘When I was just a child, my mother made Black-Draught tea, and gave It to me for colds and biliousness. It was a family medi cine With U3. ‘‘After I was grown and went out on the farm, working hard, I would get a dull, tired feeling and a bad taste In my mouth. I would know then, that I was bilious. I would take a few doses of Black-Draught, and soon feel good as new. "to years. I have taken Black-Draught and It has helped me for constipation and biliousness, and I am still of the same belief, as when a child, that, Black-Draught can’t be beaten.” Thousands of men and women find Black-Draught of great help In relieving the common ailments, due to constipation, biliousness and in digestion.
