The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of deamon within
a man. Anyone who has had an attack
of sciatic or intlammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is demo-
Mac enough to warrant the belief. 1t
has never been claimed that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm would cast out de-
mons, but it will cure rheumatism and
hundreds bear testimony to the truth
of this statement. One application re-
lieves the pain, and this quick relief
which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. For sale bye. w. Hous-

The Cause of DELAYS.

Pure Food and Dairy Commissioner
f. A. Mcdonald credits the absence Of
productions under the pure food law to
the continued illness of Prof. Elton
Fulmer of the state agricultural college,
who has been unabld to analvze sam
pies of food products gathered from the
retail grocery stores of Tacoma, Seat
tie, New Whatcom, Fairhaven, North
Yakima and Spokane. Mr.. Mcdonald
was caller at the Trade office Thurs
day, while enroute to Centralia and
Chehalis, accommodating further samples,
to be forwarded together with those
taken in town along the Northern Pa
citic between Tacoma and Seattle. He
states that he is unable to make the
progress desired because it was not
thought wise to multiply samples iu-
definitely at the state chemists depart
ment until Mr.. Fulmer is able to give
those already sent in attention
Il find" SAID the commissioner, "a
marked improvement in the general
quality OF goods offered for sale since
the law went into effect. The groceries
are honestly trying to conform to the
requirements, and aid in carrying out
the law. Many are careless, however,
regarding the labelling of doubtful pro
ducts and | feel that they have had
ample opportunity to adjust their stocks
and protect themselves
III the grocers individually woulc
adopt my suggestion they can secure
themselves absolutely from loss. lie
the merchant go over his stock and sor
out doubtful articles. Then sit down
and write the manufacturer or jobber
stating the case plainly, and ask if
label is required, and ii not if he vii
stand behind a guarantee against prose
cution. 1t might require from ten t.
twenty-five letters to cover the list an,
the result would be an assurance agains
paying fine"
On account of the primary Difficult
ties experienced in getting the wor
started on a permanent basis, Mr.. Nc
Donald has determined to take only on
sample OF each brand OF food product:
instead of taking samples OF the sam
brand from each store. In this wa
work will be facilitated and the publ
will soon know just what brands ar
pure and what are impure. For instance
if Seattle grocer carries an adulterat
ed brand of lard that has not been proE
erly labeled, every grocer in the stat
will be made acquainted with the fac
and such brand will thereafter be har
died at their own risk Besides, is tn
ultimate penalty will fall upon the mar
ufacturer OF such brand, he will be con
PEELED in self protection to either PR
duce an absolutely pure article or els
label it as adulterated.

Sixteen New Workers banqueted 40
members of the crew of the Raleigh at
the magnificent Waldorf-storia hotel
Monday evening. The men were pick
ed for the occasion by Capt. Coghlan
and included ten negro sailors. No
color line was drawn" says the Bal

fought at Manila received as much at
tention as any sailor there" To this
fact we draw the attention of the papers
which made so great a racket over the

among the 300 perosns present at the
Jefferson banquet were several negroes.
We invite them to be impartial and

LAW Is LUCK"
Louisburg Times.

Louisburg Times.
Several years ago, as the story goes, a
prominent lawyer, who was judge of
the Supreme court of North Carolina.
asked another lawyer, the following
question:
What is law" In reply his lawer
friend said: Law is Luck
How do you make that" again ask
ed the learned judge.
We'll, Judge, / will tell YOU" his
friend went on. Il have noticed that
when | prepare my cases well, and go
before your court to argue them, some
how | invariably lose, but when | ap-
pear before the court off hand" with
my rabbit foot in my pocket, | always
win
This was such good joke on the
Judge, he couldn't keep it, but related
it to the whole court the next morning.
Now the above reminds us that if
claw was luck" several years ago, that
it must be something else to-day. ae it
seems that the Judges, with some few
EXCEPTIONS of North Carolina courts
are deciding cases, not according to what
seems right and just, but to suit theif
own partisan friends and the political
party bosses. One week we hear that
the great Supreme court" has decided
that the Legislature of the State is not
the law-making power. but that the five
lawyers composing that tribunal, are
the ones to enact such measures and
laws as shall govern the people of the
State. And in nearly every instance,
the decisions" seem to be based, not
ho laxxruarc'' 1co1 T.,
term law and justice. but upon how GER
tain party friends will be affected?
And now we see that Judge Timber
lake has decided that the Fusion" Off
GERS, who did not get a majority Of the
votes cast in Green county at the last
election are entitled to the offices, until
the elected officers sue for their rights
in the courts. And so the farce goes on,
and proper respect for the courts con
tinues to decrease among the people.

AS TO MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

A correspondent asks what are the pro
visions of the new election law that ap
ply to towns where municipal elections
are not regulated by charter. In all
such cases the qualifications for the
elector are the same as for electors for
members of the General Assembly and
are as follows, those debarred being the
same as under the old law:
Subject to the foregoing ex.
ceptions every male person born
in the United States and every
male person who has been naturaliZed
twenty-one years of age, who shat have
resided in the State twelve months next
preceding the election, and ninety days
in the county in which he offers to vote,
shall be n qualified elector in the pre-
cinct or township in which he resides:
and all electors shall register and. vote
in the election precinct of their resi-
dence.'
In addition the general law for NUM-
cipal elections declares:
Every person who shall pre-
sent himself for registration shall
state under oath how long he
has resided in the State and city in which
he offers to vote, when he became TWEEN
ty-one years of age, how long he has re-
sided in the ward or precinct in which
he offers to register, where he resides,
giving number of the house in which he
resides, and if not numbered he shall
designate the same by streets.

THE TRUSTS BLIGHT TOWNS.

One year ago Duncansville, Pennsyl-
vania, was happy and prosperous town.
The factories ran on full time, wages
were good. merchants were prosperous.
and happiness reigned among employees
in that busy village.
To-day it is deserted, idleness has
taken the place of industry. artisans
have gone elsewhere seeking work. stores
are empty. and poverty and detection
brood where plenty and content found
an abiding place.
Why the change? The Atlanta Jour
nal sums up the cause, saying:
1.-The explanation is simple. The fac
tories which supported Duncansville We're
bought up by the trusts which control
the manufacture of wire and cotton ties
i'm this country. The trust decided 10
increase it's profits by reducing produc-
ton and closed these factories. Hun
dreds of persons thus suddenly founI
their means of support taken away. The
Duncansville mills are silent; many
Duncansyille homes have. been deserted
and many others are feeling the pressure
and pinch of want.
"A like fate has befallen other towns
that have suffered the misfortune of the
absorption and suppression of their in
dustries by the voracious and insatiat"
trusts, and the effect of the operations
of these combinations to crush cOmpeti-
ton are being felt to greater or less
degree in almost every city OF the United
States"
1t is not necessary to go outside Of
North Carolina to see closed tobacco
factories. closed prize houses, closed to-
bacco warehouses where once business
was large and brought prosperity. The
trusts did not buy their plants: they
destroyed or lessened competition in
buying the leaf. or 'froZe" out the man
ufacturers. The work OF closing our
and buying out and freezing out goes
on. Six months ago there were three
buyers for three competitors on the mar
ket: now, except for small orders, there
are only two. and for much tobacco
only one. Unless there is change, there
will be only one soon.
The trusts exist by violating the law
The day is coming when it will be more
toierable for Sodom and Gomorrah i'm the
day of Judgment than for the trusts
when the people are fully aroused.

A REFLECTION ON THE COURT

'The action of the Fusion members Of
that Agricultural Department shows that
the esteem in which the Supreme court is
held by FusiOnists is reflection on the
court. No lawyer would advise them
TO pursue the course they are takin.
except upon the idea that the court will
look only to the politics of the contes,
tants and not to the merits of the
case"
Thus writes an able ex-Judge Of the
Superior court in a private letter. The
fact that Blanche, Tray and Sweet
heart, and all the rest of the Fusion
pie-eaters think the Supreme court will
override the law and the will of the
people in order to keep them III Office
shows that the Fusion pie-eaters have
no confidence in the fairness of the Su-
preme court. That is greater rnflcc-
ton upon the Supreme court than any
criticism of the Day case could possibly
be.
