THE CLOVER CLUB,
Takes an Outing in an Old-Time
Stage Coach

Takes an Outing in an Old-Time
Stage Coach.
The memory of older citizens was
turned back to the days when there
were no railroads as an old-time stage
coach, with bugler attachment, passed
through our streets Monday morning
Investigation revealed the fact that
the coach was the one which was used
years ago to carry passengers and
mail between Dalton and Mount Airy
and which was recently purchased by
the Glover Club OF this city
The coach was brought into service
today by the Club for high old
Fourth of July time at Reeds Springs,
near Centerville.
The coach was drawn by four gaily
bedecked steeds, driven by Mr.. Joe
Black, and left the city about 8 a. m,
with the following members of tue
club:
Messrs. t W Huske, Watt Martin,
" j Roberts. W Fl Summerell, Glenn
ent Manly, Eugene Hester. w I

Sun Never Sets on His Domains.

"The Britons proudly boast that

is equally true that there is always

AN INJUSTICE.

1t appears that the gold bugs did
great injustice to ex Governor
Boies, of Iowa, by heralding broad
cast that, in recent letter, he had
declared opposition to the free coin
age of silver.
Read these extracts from the letter
in question and see if you think this
language, by any rule of rhetoric or
logic, can be construed to mean
opposition to free coinage or advo-
cacy of the gold standard:
''And | know, also, that the curse
of q monstrous crime is upon us
today; that here in this land of the
free it's victim is a PROSTATE nation,
whose granaries are bursting with
food, while millions of men, quaint
with hunger, go forth from homes
where famine reigns and wander up
and down it's streets pleading for
work they cannot obtain, begging
everywhere the wheels OF industry are
clogged, and all the arteries of trade
are congested by this hypocritical
cry for gold, for gold enough to
sustain the monetary systems of all
the nations, cry that cannot be
favorably answered, that those who
utter do not want SO answered be-
cause to give to the world what they
would ask would cheaper that which
they already have.
"There are no words in the English
language at my common command
that express my utter adherence OF
financial policy that l believe was
designed to enrich a limited few at
the expense of the toiling millions OF
the world, that is doubling the value
of single form of property and cut
ting in twain the price of every
species of the earthly possessions OF
men; that is reducing the laborer to
a serf, the debtor to slave, the
world TO conteDding classes that for
bid the long continued existence of
republics like our own"
Mr.. Boies, in his letter, viewed the
result of the recent contest differently
from the great majority of the
friends of free coinage and outlined a
policy for the next campaign diverg-
ent from the general idea, and those
views were grasped as pref. xt for
the intimation that tx Governor
Boies, a prominent candidate for the
Presidential nomination last year,
had deserted the free coinage cause.
All sorts of attemps will be made |
to weaken the policy which is de-
signed for the betterment of the |
masses, but the people are in no
humor to be fooled again. The
single gold standard is doomed.

TO PREVENT CHIoKEN CHOLERA
Mr.. Hege Gives Some Common-Sense
Remedies and Advice

remedies and Advice.
The manager of the poultry
division of the Experiment Station
pives, in this months Agricultural
Bulletin, the following recipe for pre-
venting chicken cholera, a disease
that plays havoc with the average
farm flock at this time of the year:
'The first step to be taken. is to
clean out the hen houses thoroughly,
whitewash every nook and corner,
sprinkle lime all over the floor, put
kerosene oil on the roost-pole. Burn
of the nest boxes with kerosene oil,
then whitewash them and put in new
material OF hay, pine straw, or to-
baccO stems the latter is best. J
When this is done go over all the
fowls at night with insect powder,
and very soon the health of the flock
will be improved. A remedy that the
Station has used successfully for the
determination of lice is comro sed of
one-half gallon of tar, one fourth
gallon kerosene oil, and one fourth
gallon waste engine oil, mixed
thoroughly and applied to roosts
and also to the fowls. Pour into a
cup small quantity of the mixture,
dip cotton rag into it, and by rails
ing back the feathers rub the damp
ened rag near the skin, so no stain
appears on the surface Spots
touched the size of silver dollar will
do the work. Do not use too much
Try it on one or two fowls and place
them in a coop for several hours;
then examine and see If any live lice
are there. If so, use the least bit
more OH the next treated. Young
chicks not feathered should only be
touched in two places, viz: on top of
head and over vent.
''By Kidding the fowls of lice, and
supplying them with fresh drinking
water often, an invasion of cholera
need not be feared"

can remedy TOR hard times-the Di e

ingredients that go with q Republic

effect promptly.
The whole process is simple, and it
is as old as the invention of cupping
and blistering. The theory is that
of counter-irritation. In medicine,
when a patient has Il case OF cramps,
mustard poultice is applied to his
abdomen. La other cases a fly plast-
er is applied. The effects OF counter
irritation are well known in medicine,
but what is to be the result when the
theory is applied to the condition of
the people?

Just before noon Monday three ''dts-

entered the Glover CLUB camp and de.
manded the members of the club to
hand oyer every cent of money, jewell
ry. etc in their possession.
Some of the boys hesitated until
they were covered with ugly-lOokfng
shooting irons Capt Buford, it is
said, threw up his hands and turned
loose everything he had. Mr.. Summer
ell gave up his fine gold watch, which
belonged to his father, with great re-

was family relic, tut they replied in
vicious tones that they were out for
relics.
The 18th OF July "Jubileersn were ia

peared upon the scene. They were
told to throw up their hands and the
command was obeyed without argu-
ment. After the robbers had secured
all the money and goods in possession
of the club, they left the camp, com
ing towards town. Before getting out
