the asylum crossing. He said
howdy: I said howdy. He said he
felt bad. that he had been drunk
the night before. I asked him
what he did to get drunk; he said
he had a pint Of Whiskey and got
some of Mr.. Carr's VINE. I bor-
rowed his knife to make a peg. as
I had broken off a button. When
1 had made the peg 1 returned
his knife and started on, he asked
me not to hurry: [ remained
a while and he told me that he

was tired of her. as she made
away with his money: that he
wanted to join a lodge over in

lated. proving by them a COM
plete alibi, and upon motion of
Mr. Aycock. who represented the
State, he was honorably dis~
charged.

VIII They Stop the Big Liners

London, Oct. Il. The Exccu-
tive Committee of the Amalgam>
ated Engineers Society threatens
to withdraw the engineers in the
ocean mail service in the event of
the continuation of the present
dispute.
The Prince Of Wales, replying
to an independent suggestion that
he use his influence to bring about
an amicable settlement of the
strike in the engineering and allied
trades, says he deeply dep1ores
the disastrous situation, but feels
that it would not be proper for
him to Interfere. He adds that he
regrets that he is unable to do so.

The above liberal offer is made to
advertise the old reliable Diamond
Dyes, and to get their book upon home
dyeing into the hands of ONE who
want to dress well by making their old
clothing look like new.
Diamond Dyes have special dyes for
cotton, different from those that are
used for wool, and are the only pack
age dyes on the market that can be re-
lied upon to give colors that will not
fade OF crack. The fact hat Diamond
Dyes have been the standard home
dyes for nearly twenty years and that
their sale increases from year to year,
is proof positive that they have never
had an equal.

M. Anderson, and claiming to be
from Georgia and acting as agent
for an insurance company known
as the f. P. U. Co., who is an
aIl-round, drunken dead-beat, and
not worth the attention or consid-
Grafton of respectable people. He
is beating his board and getting in
debt wherever he can. Honest
people should know of such char
a~cters, and l, therefore, take this
method of putting others on their
guard against this man.
