A few years ago New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: "Is Marriage a Failure?" The
answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there is mutual love and respect if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
q failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in i1l-health. In
scase of this kind death turks on every side
i'm the kiss of betrotha1 and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health is physical bankrupt, and
has no right to condemn a woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on
the digestive organism. It makes it strong
and its action perfect. When a mans di-
gestion is all right his blood will be pure;
when his blood is pure his nervous system
will be strong and his health vigorous.
A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the delicate organism of her sex
is certain to suffer from general il1-health,
and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and
disappointment as wife. Her children
will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy
home Is an impossibility for her until her
health is restored. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription cures all troubles of the dis
dnctly feminine organism. 1t cures them
speedily, completely and permanently. 1t
fits for wifehood and motherhood. Both
medicines are sold by all good dealers.

JUDGE SIMONToN'S DECISION.
No Receiver Can be Appointed For
Western N. G. Road.

Judge Charles Fl. Simonton has
handed down his decision in the Yves
tern North Carolina Railroad receiv-
ership case. 1t is in favor of the
Southern Railway Company. 1t will
be remembered that the plaintiffs, Mrs.
Clemye James, Mrs. Fannie T.. How
ard and S. Il. Pearson, applied for a
receiver for the Western North Caro-
lima Railroad before Judge McIver in
Rowan Superior Court. The object of
the intended receivership was to re-
cover Judgments rendered in Rowan
court to Mrs. J ames and Mrs. Howard
for SO, 900 and 1900 respectively on
account of deaths of plaintiffs intes-
tates while in the employ of the com
pany.
1t is thought that the plaintiffs will
appeal from The decision in favor of
the Southern. 1t is one of the most
important decisions in the history of
the litigation in this State of late
years.
Judge Simonton has the Stanly bond
case under advisement, and ii is be-
lieved will hand down his decision
soon.

A TALK WITH MAYS.
He Claims to be Innocent-Was at
Home Part of the Night

The Mt. Airy News says that the Of
tcers have arrested three parties
with being concerned in the
murder of Mrs. Martha Higgins The
News adds that John Mayes, (who was
brought to Forsyth Jail Thu lay
claims that he kept watch while an
other man did the killing, robbing and
burning. From what we can learn.
Mayes Is very guilty man. and be-
fore he gets through with it he will
doubtless rub close to the hangman' 3
rope. The finding of over 800 in
Mayes' possession looks dark for him.
1t was reported last week that crowd
was organized to lynch Mayes.
A SENTINEL reporter called at the
jail on Friday and had talk with
Mayes. He was in the murderer's cell
and was lying on a cot. He had his
coat, shoes and hat off and complained
OF having a pain in his head. He
claimed that he is innocent, though he
talked like a guilty man. He said tina
he had only heard of one man being
arrested on the same charge that he
was-Haywood Cockerham, colored
He did not know whether the negr,
/ has been tried or not. Mayes state,
| that he has wife and six children
| that his home is two miles from Mrs
Higgins, who was murdered Whel
asked about the money found in hi
| blacksmith shop Mayes said: 81 CAV
it to the officers just as l ploughed
up in the field. 1t was in fruit jar
There was S4l4 of it, part being gol
and the other silver. ,;
! Where were you the night tn
the crime was cOmmitted?" He wa
asked.
Il was at home part of the time,
replied Mayes.
where were you the other part?
After hesitating for minute c
more he said: 81 have been requisite
by lawyers not to talk too much, bl
wait and tell the whole story at Ii
trial.

A GROUP OF TREES.

The gum trees of Victoria are the tall
est trees in the world. They average 300
feet high.
1t is estimated that an oak of average
size, during the five months 1t Is in leaf
every year. sucks from the earth about 1913
tons of water.
A scion of the Charter oak is growing
in Cleveland. 1t was raised from an acorn
taken from the Celebrated oak at Hartford
before it's destruction and is now in thriv-
ing condition.
Among the trees which grow in Alaska
is one called the yellow cedar, which has
a fragrance somewhat like that of san
dalwood and nearly as marked. 1t is
grainless wood of straw color, and the
Russians build ships of it.
The oldest and biggest oak tree In
France is at L'Ardeche. 1t measures over
100 feet in circumference at its base; nine
feet above the ground, where the first
branches grow, it is about 40 feet In di'

As the Celestials See Us.

Syracuse Standard.
Chinese writer in one of the pub
lications of his own country has
summed up the peculiarities of the
American people in paragraph,
which is translated as follows:
They live months without eating a
mouthtul Of rice; they eat bullocks
and sheep in enormous quantities;
they have to battle frequently; the
men dress all alike, and to Judge from
their appearance, they are all coolies;
nett her are they ever to be seen
carrying a fan or an mbrella, for
they manifest their ignorant con-
tempt for these insignia of a gentle
man by leaving them entirely to
women; no ,e OF them have finger
nails more than an eight b OF an inch
long; they eat meat with knives and
proDgs; they never enjoy themselves
by sitting qLietly on their ancestors
graves, but jump around and kick
balls as if paid to do it, and they
have no dignity, for they may be
found walking with women

She Changed the Conversation.

During the summer of 1886 a handsome
New England woman paid visit to one
of the north side society queens of Wichita.
In due time a swell lawn party was given
by the hostess at her home to make her
visitor acquainted with her western
friends. Among those invited was the
genial and witty VIII Beatty. He was in
from his trip off the road, and, DOMINIC
his best attire, was soon at the party. He
was presented to the visitor, and it hap
pened to be his good fortune little later
in the evening to have her on his arm
promenading over the velvety lawn. In
the course of the conversation Miss Blank
asked Mr.. Beatty what business he fol-
lowed.
''I'm commercial traveller
The visitor, possibly in a moment of
mental alteration, made this remark: I'm
the east commercial travellers do not go in
che best society"
Before the last word had hardly left her
lips Mr. Beatty replied, "They don't here
either

in entirely different channels.-Wichita

between the venerable Canadian sena-
tor, Hon. James r. Gowan, and the
likewise patriarchal senator from YER

Torpedo Craft.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Torpedo craft never were of much
danger by day when their move
ments could be seen and ships
guns could be trained on them.
By night, they are just of about as
little account, the searchlights rem
dering their vocation harmless. In
stead OF their displacing battleships,
as Admiral COlcomb thinks, they are
more likely to be themselves dis
placed. They have done absolutely
nothing during the present war, but
inspire vague, underlined fear until
their worth or their worthlessness
was discovered. Now they are de-
spIsed on every hand. What has
come most to the front is-not tor
pedo craft, but-rapid fire guns, and
fast, heavily armored and powerfully
armed ships of the cruiser class.

a sentiment appropriate to the

declaring that no citizen has a
