WHO Is RESPONSIBLE?

Re Robinson and the StatesviIie Bar
Some days ago several papers
in the State published a sensa-
tional telegraphic report from
StatesviIle to the effect that the
Bar of that town had continued
the civil docket of the county by
reason of aversion TO Judge Rob-
inson, and now the Bar of that
place r endeavoring to locate
the author of the insidious lie.
In the meantime, the S~tatesville
Mascot speaks of the incident ed
itorialIy as follows:
CIVIL DOCKET CONTINUED.
cat a meeting of the Statesville
bar Tuesday all civil cases for
trial at November term of Iredell
Superior Court we're continued by
unanimous consent. Civil suitors
and witnesses in civil cases need
not attend the term, unless they
have other business. This action
was taken by the bar for the reason
that the second week of our court
conflicts with the week set apart
for the hearing of cases from this
district by the Supreme Court,
and several of the members of our
bar have important cases to argue
before the Supreme Court and
will be in Raleigh at that time.
The county commissioners, antic-
ipating that the bar would take
this action, drew jurors for only
one week of court. Only criminal
business will be disposed of.
Gan article has appeared in two
or three newspapers of the State
saying that the reason we are to
have only one week of court is
that our lawyers resented Judge
Robinson's discourtesy to them at
the August term. This is a mis-
take. Judge Robinson was not
discourteous to them, and they
make no such charge against him"

GOLDSBORO A FIELD
For Enterprising Men: ME-. A. T. Grifan's
Big Single Mill.


For Enterprisins Men: ME-. A. T. Grimm
Big shingle Mill.
A little over a year ago, Their
came to Goldsboro a young maj
who modestly announced that b,
was going to erect a shingle mil
on the banks of Neuse river, neal
the suburbs of the city. Tha'
mans name is A. T.. Griffin.
Some people generously (2) in.
formed him that the single bus.
mess could not be made to pay al
Goldsboro. But with an energy
and snap and go possessed by few
men Mr.. Griffin rolled up his
own sleeves and erected a small
mill and began to make shingles.
In a very short time, our people
saw that he knew what he was
about. They furthermore found
that Mr.. Griffin not only knows
how to make shingles, that he not
only knows all about the shingle
business, from the time the big
trees break the stiffness of the
great forests as they fall victims
to the sturdy woodlands axe to
the time they float down the river
into the stboomo at the mill,
thence into the greedy jaws of the
ever busy whizzing saws, but that
he knows how to sell shingles,
too!
In a short time, the home mar
ket was supplied, and then car
load after a load of shingles
began going to other markets in
North Carolina and distant States.
Every dav the mill turns out
&zF ntr~u Ne thousand shingles.
The mill has grown to large
proportions, and occupies a beau~
tiful site on the Neuse. Go down
to g it. The sight will do you
good. You realize, perhaps, more
than ever before, the opportuni-
ties in our midst open to men of
industry, energy, and character
in a word, men like A. T. Griffin.
Nj. Griffin guarantees every
single to be of juss the quality
he represents it to be. He places
on each bundle the stamp of his
own name, and no matter how
large an order a big dealer in the
North wants to place for shingles,
if he requests the bundles to go
he cannot buy them.
Mr.. Grifin's motto is, 81 stand by
my name, and my name must be
stamped on every bundle of shin
gle that goes from my MIL"

QUALITY AND NEWS
FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE
DETERMINING FACTORS
In Successful DeYe'Opment-One
of the Important Func-
lions of High Class
Newspapers.

In presenting interesting
phases of scientific and econo-
mic problems, high class news
papers frequently give informa-
ton of as great value in their
advertising columns as in those
devoted to the publication of the
principal events of the day, and
when the fame of a product is
extended beyond it's natural
limits into foreign lands, and a
large demand created through
out Great Britain and her col.
onies and the principal sea-ports
and cities of Europe, Asia and
Africa, it becomes a pleasant
duty to note the fact and to tell
of the points OF excellence on
which SO great a success is
based. We refer to the now
Worid-famed laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, the product
Iof the Californa Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this
we'll known excellent laxative
were first made known
to the world through the medical
Journals and newspapers of the
limited States; and is one of the
distinct achievements s.of the
ipress. It is now we'll known that
lSyrup of Figs lis IN ethical pro-
iprietory remedy, approved by
the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple
and effective. yet pleasant to the
taste and acceptable to the .sys-
tenn. and not only prompt in its
beneficial effects but also wholly
free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred
to as the remedy~of the healthy,
because it is used by people who
enjoy good health and who live
well and feel. well. aud. are well

the professor to let him off, edging con-

his pupil swinging a ball bat on him.

EDINBURGH HANDICAP
American SprinterS Are General
w Low Mark Men

John Holt ana John P. Irwin of this
city will be prominent in the betting ring
at the big handicap sprint race in Edin-
burgh tomorrow. American runners fig
ure prominently in the race. The race is
a 1870 yards, and, with the exception of A.
R. Downer, the celebrated English sprint
err the Americans are low-mark men. The
Worcester men are to back Mace Will
liams, the oolored sprinter, who made
North Brookfield his rendezvous two
years ago. Williams has tipped his
laying back and intends to win. In the
handicap, A. R. Downer is again on
scratch. Next In order are five Ameri-
cans with the following handicaps: 7 r
Keene and j. Doyle, 242 yards; w. Hurst
and w. Allen, 31s yards and j. Shea, 4
yards. The three latter are not gem
orally known as flyers in this country. 1t
is just on the cards that one or more Of
under assumedsnames. j Collins, known
here as Cuckoo" Collins has Az yards,
and another American, Mace Williams,
is allotted yards The entry for the
ers of England r. w, Wadsley and f
W Cooper, caused quite sensation. I'm
der American rules the mere fact of en-
tering the race would render them pro-
fessionals, but the English code is more
liberal, and unless they compete, the two
cracks will NOT lose their amateur status.
Both have been literally treated by the
Handicapped. Cooper. the English 100
yard amateur champion, has Az yards.
He is credited with ability to run the
hundred in even time, which would make
der to win. Hadsley, who improved at
the end of last season, has han a yard
less than the amateur champion. Harry
Hutchens of Putncy, who in his day was
conceded to be the fastest sprinter that
ever lived, now receives Z yards from
Downer.
