IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT AND
CAN'T GET OUT.
Fayetteville Observer

NJ. e. McLaurin is in the county jail
serving a sentence of 30 days for con-
tempt. and though the clerk of the court
and the parties to the prosecution are
willing for him to be released it seems
there is no help for him, and he must
serve out his sentence.
At the May term of the court Judge
Coble issued an order dispossessing Nc
Laurin of the old family homestead III
favor of his brother, John A. McLaurin,
with the condition that if not Obeyed,
McLaurin should be arrested and placed
in jail for contempt.
McLaurin refused to give up possession
and Tuesday he was arrested and dealt
with according to the judges order.
He now promises to relinquish all claim,
and cease the contempt if released, but
the question is, how can he be released
McLaurin has not eaten a mouthful
of food since he was put in jail and de-
clares that he will not so long as he re-
mains there.

RANSOM ON TATE.
The Ex-senator Pays a Beautiful Irlb-
ute to His Dead Friend.


The following letter will be read with
sad pleasure by many peop'e in North
Carolina:
Garysburg, n. c., June 26, 1887
Mai. J. w. Wilson: was absent from
home when your telegram came, and
it was impossible to reach Morganton to-
day, for Col. Tate's funeral. Present
to his beloved wife and children, my
dearest sympathy in their supreme sor-
row. A great and good man has d1ed.
Those who knew him best, loved him
best. His fame is connected with much
of the noblest history of our State. lie
was an excellent soldier, a most pa
triotic citizen. Society had no better
member. Home had no more devoted
and tender guardian. He was faithful
to every duty, and admirable in all the
relations of life. His virtues never for
one moment left him, and his sense or
right was ever at its post prepared for
action. He was so wise, so constant, so
faithful, so clear in his judgment, so
strong in his principles, and so stead
fast in his position that he commanded
universal confidence and APPRECIATION.
To me he was more than friend. lie
was like a brother, always so pleasant,
so lovable and so good. / cherish the
memory of his lifelong friendship as
priceless possession. i wish could be
with you, who were so dear to him and
his family and his neighbors, whom he
served so faithfully, in your sorrows
over his grave. No man deserved more
the gratitude and honor % his people.
7 thank God that there is hope and
faith that his good life will be continued
in undying happiness. The example of
his unseI6shness, rectitude, devotion
and honor should be held in sacred lc
membrane by those who survive nm.
Yours faithfully,
NJ. w. RANSOM.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
laims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overhows with
generosity that lfe cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
orm Of nervous debility; relieves them OF
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to- be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result Of
many years. research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
storing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to FL. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
q =, Mich, stating that you are not send
ing for the prescription out OF idle curl
osity, but that you wish to make use Of
the medicine by giving it trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.

CYCLISTS AND COLD BATHS

A PhysieiaA's View ~ TO the Proper
T1Ae to Indulge.
A physician, who Ii himself . wheel
man Of several Year, experience and
who has also devoted great attention
to other athletics, lays down this gen.
eral proposition: "Never take a cold
bath when you are tired" He points
out that the greater the exercise the
ated, and that cold bath does not as
s;st the skin in getting rid of this prod
uot, whereas warm bath does. The
doctor adds:
'When you take q cold bath you de-
pend upon the heart to bring about re-
action. If this heart be already tired
by the long ride it may not be strong
enough to bring about reaction, and
the blood and it's waste material may
not be brought to the surface. Inter
nal COMPOSITIONS may follow, and, as
have seen in two cases, death may en-
sue. It matters not how hot you may
be, how much you may be perspiring,
the cold bath is harmless provided al
ways the heart be not tired. A Simple
rule for the bicyclist, whereby he may

Senator Wellington OF Maryland is
literally being held up by his constit-
uents. Being so close to Washington,
they come in palace cars; in the more
humble passenger cars, on freight
trains. some ip carriages, some on

when one of his constituents drove
into the city in an OK wagon. All want

The people of the United States
generally do not understand what a
Maryland OK team means, the oxen
are hitched up with collars around
their necks like horses. and a
yoke fastened between their necks
and hitched to log in the center,
and the wagon has but two wheels.
1t is said that many Of the first fami-
lies of Maryland use this locomotion
when making fashionable calls. The
Senator did not seemed surprised
when his constituent met HIM, but
talked to him, same as the others.
To say that he is deluged with Office
seekers is to put it mildly. He has
more callers personally than all the
other Senators combined. A Mary

wants it bad, and be wants it now; he
