CAUTION.

This is not a gentle word-but when
You think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c. the only remedy universal
ly known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity
all these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are SO many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds. perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing like
German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in
the civilized world.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Tarboro, n. c., Nov. ia Farmers
Institute was held here today. Mr. Pat
terson and DR.. Kilgore. of Raleigh, were
present. Cur people are always glad TO
have these gentlemen with them, and
highly appreciate their efforts. There
were about fifty farmers present at this
institute. Mr.. Pou, of the Experiment
farm, was also here and gave short
talk
If it had been so that this institute
could have been held here for three days
instead of one, there would have been u
much larger crowd, but even as it was,
the attendance was very satisfactory.
Our farmers in Edgecombe would like
to have an institute twice every year, in
the spring and then after the crops are

Rock Hill Seeks Him Who for Filthy lucre De-

Especial to News and observer)

(Speclal TO News ana OpSerVeIJ
Greensboro, n. c., Nov. 19.-Chief OF
Police Scott received a notice last night
from police authorities of Rock Hill, S.
C., to look out for E. w. Epps, white
operative in cotton factory there, who had
stolen a lot of money and run away,
leaving a young wife who said he came
from Greensboro, n. c.
Thereby hangs an interesting tale.
Three years ago the Finishing mills
here were baffled for months in an et-
fort to locate rogue who was sys-
tematically taking bolt after bolt of
goods. A close watch was kept for some
time, and at last one of the mill oper-
atives, S. e. Epps, was caught red-hand-
ed He was convicted and sentenced to
the road for two years. In few months
he escaped, leaving a wife and two chill
dren, who are still here. One night about
six months afterwards the chief of police
here received the following telegram from
Danville, Va: eff you will come to Dam
Vile tomorrow night you will find S. E..
Epps who escaped the law in DanVille,
at $50 o'clock he will be at ........
street. JUSTICE.
The anonymous information was acted
on at venture, and at the hour named,
at the street number named, Green's
| boro officer and a Danville policeman
knocked on the door and were admit
ted.
A wedding ceremony was about to be
performed, the preacher arriving just be-
hind the officers. The bridegroom was
none other than S. e. Epps. He was
ruthlessly torn from the cries of his dis
tressed lady love, and brought back to
the servile environment of Gulford coun-
ty road convict camp. In a few months
his lawyers, aided by the unselish and
| devoted personal appeals of Epps' wife
to the Governor, secured pardon, the
strong card played being that he waa
dying from consumption.
After his liberation Epps deserted his
wife and two children, and has not been
heard from until the news was received
| here of his predicament in South Caro-
| lima. The only hitch is the difference OF
| initials The description tallies with him
exactly, say all who know him, and ii
| is believed here that his Rock Hill wife
| is the lady who was prevented from be-
! ing a bride in Danville, on account OF
the stern mandate of the law, flying
! faster than Cupid's sweettipped arrow
and the relentless cruelty of some un-
known jealous swain or a personal enemy
| in ambush.
