THE ARMY OF HEALTH.
The Army in The Philippines Insignifi-
cant Compared With This One.


If all the people in the United States,
Canada and Great Britain who make dai-
ly use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets could
be assembled together it would make an
army that would outnumber our army
OF one hundred thousand by at least five
to one.
Men and women, who are broken down
IN health, are only a part of the thou
sands who use this popular preparation,
the greater number are people who are
in fair health but who know that the
way to keep we'll is to keep the digestion
perfect and use Stuart's Tablets as reg
ularly as meal time comes to insure good
digestion and proper assimilation of food.
Prevention is always better than cure
and disease can find no foothold if the
digestion is kept in good working order
ne daily use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Mr.. Thomas Scale, Mayfeld, Calf
says: Have used and recommended Stu
arts Tablets because there is nothing
like them to keep the stomach right"
Miss Leila Dively, 1927 Plummer St.,
Pittsburg, Pa, writes: II wish every
one ito know how grateful I am for Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. l suffered for
long time and did not know what allied

lets and Immediately bought so cent

The army of people who take Stuart's
Tablets are mostly people in fairly good
health, and who keep we'll by taking
them regularly after meals. They con-
tain no opiates. cocaine or any cathartic
or injurious drugs, simply the natural
peptones and digestives which every
weak stomach lacks
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain.

Grave Robbers in Stanly.
(Charlotte Ohserver.l

Albemarle, N. c., Nov. 19.-Some years
ago an old French gentleman, Dillamott
by name on the Yadkin river, ten miles
from here, died and was buried near his
home. The old man kept a golden image
in his possession which it is said he wor-
shipped During his sickness he request
ed that it be buried with him, and it is
thought this was done. On Thursday
night last ghouls went to the old gentle
mans final resting place and dug down
in the grave in search of the buried idol.
They left the skeleton, which was in a
remarkable state of preservation, expos
ed, and only filled the grave about half
up. 1t is not known whether they were
rewarded for their labor or not and the
story of the golden idol that lay buried
for half century remains as much a
mystery as ever. Miss Addie Kron, a
relative of the dead man, had the bones
re-interred.

A MURDER MYSTERY
Horrible Killing of a Farmer.
Near Newton.
Some Theories and Suspicious But No CleW 10
The Author of the Crime. Another Crime
Years Ago Recalled.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Newton, N. c., Nov. 2O.-Mystery still
sourrounds the horrible murder of Levi
Travis, a farmer, who lived alone about
two miles from here, and who was found
Friday with the head battered into a
jelly and the body so decomposed that
the house was almost uninhabitable.
Travis was about 20 years of age. and
had the reputation of possessing miserly
instincts to such an extent that it is be-
lieved the cause of the crime was ROBBERY,
although another object may have been
in view. The drawers and other recepta-
cles likely to contain money had been APP
parently ransacked, but the house was
in good order.
The last seen of Mr.. Travis alive was.
last Wednesday. Friday evening neigh
Dor passed the house and was attracted
by q terribly offensive smell. On enter
ing he found the body of the old man
carefully tucked in bed the bed clothes
being tucked entirely over the head and
turned under the body. On throwing
these back it was seen that the head and
face had been terribly beaten with some
blunt instrument, the skull and facial
bones being badly bruised. The blood
had flowed in great streams and satu-
rated all the bed clothes.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that the deceased had come to his death
at the hands of some person or persons
unknown. 1t was also established that
he had about $50 in the house, but neigh
bors think he may have had good deal
more than that, as he was hard worker
and very saving. In fact, it was said
that he rarely spent any cash except to
buy land. There are many stories and
suspicious connected with the crime, but
nothing SO far tangible enough upon which
to base a clew.
One report is to. the effect that Mr..
Travis was soon to be married, and that
fact is advanced as having a possible
bearing on the case, but just how much,
if any, reliance is to be placed in this
rumor cannot be stated
Discussion of this crime led older citi-
zens here to recall a notable murder
which took place near here about 60
years ago. A man named Conner was
killed while asleep, his throat being cut.
brother-in law who resided in Sails
bury 55 miles distant, was suspected of
the crime and arrested. He proved that
he was in Salisbury after dark the night
of the murder, and again early next
morning, and as there was no railroad
connection between the two points, he was
acquitted. Years afterward, however,
while on his death-bed, the accused con-
fessed that he had killed Conner for cruz
city to his sister (Conner's wife). He es-
tablished the fact that with the aid of
some friends he was supplied with fresh
horses AT intervals along the route and
thus enabled to make the trip of over 100
miles in one night. Arriving at Corners
house, in the northern part of this county
after midnight. he cut his throat and i'm
mediately galloped back toward Salisbury
