Halls Family Pills are the best.

In all parts of the country we find
farms where the drinking water and
for all culinary purposes comes from
a well. In very many cases these are
far from furnishing water of good
quality and in a smaller proportion
there are those which are dangerous
to the family health An exchange
says: cit does not follow that because
the well has been used for fifty or
hundred years with no known bad re-
suits that it is safe today.
Contamination from sewerage and
vaults spreads slowly beneath the
surface, but it spreads, and after long
intervals occasionally permeates
through to a vein of water connecting
with some well, or it may directly
reach the we'll. No well, and espec-
tally an old one, should be trusted too
long, especially if it be on land aver
aging'a lower level than most of its
environm nt When contamination
does reach the well, no amount of
cleaning and distinction will ever
make it safe. The percentage of cases
of typhoid fever which might be hon
estIy traced to wells in rural districts
would, if the truth could be known,
be much larger than is generally sup

1t Is said that clover is the only crop
that leaves the soil in better condition
after it is harvested than before it is
soWn, and it is also one of the best
feeds that can be grown on the farm
for the dairy. It can be fed cut or
whole, and can also be used for silage
to advantage. On account of it's great
value, it is wonder that it is not cul-
tivated to larger extent than it is.
It adds the element of nitrogen to the
soil, which is the most expensive of
all the chemical elements of fertility,
and in this way saves its cost to the
farmer many times over. It is to be
regretted that our climate is too rig
orous for alfalfa and the crimson
clover, except in favored localities,
but there are other kinds that are
nearly, if not quite as good, and which
can be grown in this state to advan-
tage.

WHILE AUTHORITIES SLEEP

TWO CRIMINALS CELL TOGETHER
And During ine Night Filed The Window Bars
and Swung Down Over The Walls by
Means of Blankets Tied Together.

Geo. Merritt, who entered the residence
Of Mr.. Fred Woolcott, in February
last, and thoroughly burglarized the
house, and who was sentenced to n
life term in the pcnitcntiary is at large

name of Cox, who was serving sen
tence OF four years for moonshlnIng
They escaped together from the State
penitentiary. about O'clock yesterday
morning, and were half an hour after
wards seen by Mr.. Jim Eatman. near
his residence in the neighborhood OF
Asbury. They were going, said Mr..
Eatman. mt break neck speed, and al
though it was just about day. he could
tell that they were escaped convictS.
Merritt is bad fellow, n Shrcwd cum
ming cuprit His people are SAID to be
wealthy They live in New Jersey, but
he has been for several years roaming
and terrorizing people with his lawlesS-
ness. He has been no end of trouble
since his confinement in the pen. and
those in charge had sufficient reason to
know that Il close watch should be kept
on him. and yet it is said that an over
seer allowed Cox and Merritt to cell to-
gether on Thursday night, against what
the wardens says the imperative orders
are. that no two convicts shall be allowed
to cell together.
Few people will not be surprised that
under the present management of the
penitentiary. two sharp, shrewd Grim
mails escape, the wonder is that many
others do not escape. with oyerseers and
minor officers changing rules to suit the
whims of the criminals with the higher
authorities perhaps nowhere about.
The comment and criticism of the pen
authorities in Raleigh yesterday, for al
lowing these two hardened criminals to
escape, was rather severe, and the eX-
cuse given that an oyerseer had dis
obeycd orders, did not appease the feel
ing.
How two men can make Il file out OF Il
ease knife and file away great iron bars,
then file off staples to locks on trap
doors. then tear blankets into strips,
tie them together. and by means of
these strips escape over walls supposed
to be guarded. the ordinary man cannot
quite understand.
1t shows Il lack of prison regulation,
discipline and management generally,
that is exasperating. But Geo. Merritt
is at large, and the general public should
he on its guard There is no telling
where he will turn up ut.
A reward Of 500 has been offered for
his apprehension.

WHO PAYS THE TAX ?
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Says the Express Companies Are to
Pay It.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Says the Express Companies Are to
Pay 1t.
Revenue Collector Brady, of Rich
mond, Va, holds that express companies
are liable and should pay the stamp tax
on all packages transported by them. He
has referred the question to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton, who agrees with the Virginia col
Iector that the express companies should
pay the tax. The express companies
are resisting the decisions Of the two
officers, and so IL test case will perhaps,
go up from Richmond to be determined
by the courts.
Yesterdays Richmond Dispatch refer
ing to the matter. says: ''The decision
of Collector Brady i'll regard to the liza
bility of the express companies for the
taX-stamp to be placed on shipping re-
ccipts has stirred mp quite n hornets
nest and seems likely to lead to litigation.
The decision has been sustained by the
Commissioner of-Internal Revenue, and
has been generally commented on
throughout the country.
At the local office many complaints
have been registered that the express
companies are disregarding the ruling.
and are still compelling shippers to pay
for the tax-stamp. Colonel Brady said
yesterday that he would proceed against
the express companies without delay,
and with this end in view he has already
referred the matter to the District At
torney for his prompt action.
