by both counties. Capt Parker main
tanned q contrary view, and that the act
Of the last Legislature intended the line
to be located as it has been.
This morning the committee will meet
at the Senate chamber to hear evidence
in the case. There are present the chair
mam of the Board of Commissioners OF
both counties. Peter Hardin, of Ala
nance, and w. A. Lineberry, of Chat
ham. There are also present Register
of Deeds Paschal, Mr.. Johnson and 9TH
ers from Chatham and John NJ. Coble
and others from Alamance.
There is much personal activity being
shown by the members of the Legislature
from both these counties.
Talking last night with Mr.. White,
of Alamance, he said:
During the session of Colonial Legis-
tature of 1910 and 1771 an act was passed
setting off the county of Chatham or the
Parish of Saint Bartholomew from the
county of Orange. The act provided that
the commissioners should begin at point
10 miles due South of Hillsboro and
from this point there was to be a due
West line and all the territory belonging
80 Orange South of that line should con-
stitute the county of Chatham. The act
specified that the line should be, run in

and that the advantages thus to be de
rived by the South were obvious. Mr.
Young contended that under the tele-
phone provisions Of the bill the long dis
tance company, would be kept out of
the State of North Carolina, and that
he was instructed to request the indul-
gence OF the committee until the officers
of his company could come to Raleigh
and be heard Mr.. Clark, who intro
duced the bill, moved a postponement
Of consideration until February
9th snd 10th, and all parties will
be given a hearing at that time
There is but one Jones in the Legisla-
ture. And that is quite enough-of that
kind of Joneses. Shortly after the elec
tion last November, the Republicans gave
it out that one Democratic member of
the Legislature was a gold man, and
would vote for Pritchard for Senator.
Democrats did not believe it until Jones,
OF Allegheny, received q call ON Sunday
afternoon from Senator Pritchard's s
brother, and took an afternoon drive
with the two pritchard brothers and an
other Republican. That might he was
boldly claimed as a Pritdhard supporter
They said they got him before the cleo

Shakers and Doctors Talk
Together.

In his able work. entitled Longevity. Z"
published Il few years ago, Dr. John
Gardner, of England, predicts that veg
etable agent will yet be found that shall
so retard those changes that bring about
old age as to prolong human life much be-
yond the present limit
Acting, perhaps. upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time upon
the Shakers Of Mt Lebanon to inquire Of
them concerning the secrets Of medicinal
plants. in which these sincere, simple
minded and God-fearing people arc
known to be wise and skilful beyond all
other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that if genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion
and dyspepsia. and the ailments growing
out Of it, long step would be taken in
the right direction. Old age, said these
physicians, begins in a failure of the di-
gestion, and so do most diseases, at any
and all periods of life. The result of
these consultations was the discovery By
the Shakers of the desired specific. made
wholly from herbs, and now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial Its action
is magical and worthy of it's origin
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth, biIiousness. weakness and
weariness, cold hands and feet or any
other symptom of dyspepsia the Cordial
will prove its curative virtues Behind it
is the reputation of a people who have
never defrauded or deceived their fellow
men.

HE HAS DEPARTED
Colonel Bradbury and His Family
Have Gone East

Col. John Bradbury has evidently de-
cided Los Angeles is not pleasant place
to live in since the elopement of his wife
with H. Russell Ward. The colonel has
been busy for several days in adjusting
his affairs with possible view to TAX
ing up his residence elsewhere Yester-
day morning he, in company with Mrs.
Simona Bradbury, Louis Bradbury and
Private Secretary Thornton, left for the
east on the Santa Fe overland Their
destination is said to be New York.
The removal of all those most inter-
ested in the recent scandal will probably
bing the affair to an end, as far as public
notice is concerned. Mrs. Bradbury
and Mr.. Ward are in San Francisco, and
Colonel Bradbury has left for the east,
consequently Los Angeles society can
settle down again and disregard the
mud that was so recently stirred up IN
the social pool. 1t is not known whether
or not Colonel Bradbury contemplates
living entirely away from Los Angeles;
probably not. as his business interests
here are so large.

Mrs. Banning from her recreant daugh-

Accordingly a trunk of wearing apparel
