One Boy of Is, and the Other an Escaped Con-
vice Who Has Been Leading Correct Life.

Governor Aycock yesterday pardoned
two convicts, Garrett PenniX and George
Hearne, the latter a negro boy only II
years DID,
The case of PenniX is rather an I'M
usual one. He was convicted at the
July term of Buncombe county court,
1894, eight years ago. His crime was
larceny and receiving and the sentence
was three years on the county roads.
The prisoner was quite young when con-
victed and after serving eight months
on the roads made his escape. During
his freedom he married and was leading
a perfectly correct life when REAR
rested. 1t is thought that he has, under
all the circumstances, been sufficiently
punished. He is pardoned on the re-
commentator of many citizens of Bun
combe county the county officers, the
judge who tried the case, Hon. Locke
Craig and others.
George Hearne was convicted in July,
1900, in Randolph county, of larceny,
and sentenced to five years in States
Prison. The boy only stole 81 and his
pardon was recommended by Hon w.
p. Wood and other reputable citizens of
Randolph county.

Rev. J. WILLIAM JONES
he breaches Twice at the First Baptist Church
and at Soldiers Home

The congregation of the Hfrst Baptist
Church heard two splendid sermons
Sunday from Rev. j. William Jones, of
Chapel Hill, who is one of the best
known preachers in the South, having
been Gen. r. e. Lees chaplain during
the Civil War. There We're large con-
gregations at both services, and DR..
Jones fully sustained his reputation as
a pulpit orator
The text Sunday night was from st.
Paul: Giving Thanks Always for All
Things Unto God, the Father, Through
Our Lord Jesus Christ" The preacher
said it was easy to give thanks some
times, but it was another matter to
render thanks always, regardless of the
prevailing conditions. Man should give
thanks, too, for all things, and this was
not always easily. There were many apt
incidents and anecdotes to strengthen
and elucidate the discourse.
Sunday afternoon DR.. Jones went out
to the Soldiers Home to speak to the
old veterans, with whom he feels so pc
culiarly in touch. He gave them a
cheering, beautiful talk, and shook
hands with them all. There was quite
an attendance of veterans from the city.
The old soldiers We're delighted with
their genial old friend.

June 1.-THE Teachers Assembly of 1905
closed yesterday The meeting has been
n magnificent success in every way and
the officers and friends of the Assembly
are expressing themselves as more than
delighted
The last session of the Assembly was
THAI of Sunday morning when the an
nual sermon was preached by Rev. The.o-
dore D. Brattoh, rector of st. Mary 5
School, at Raleigh.
There was no musical instrument in the
Assembly Hall but the congregation, led
by a volunteer choir of ladies and gentle
men, sang even better than if an instru-
ment had been used, as each felt that
he must contribute his share to the music
Of the service.
Mr.. BrattOn's theme was 'The Inhu-
ence of The Teacher" and his text was
ii ON Matthew 5. verses Is to 16, his dis
course being an exposition of what this
influence is and how it should be exer-
ted. OF the influences which go TO make
UP men and women he named in this or
der mother, father teacher church,

raneous, save that mother must ante

The influence of the teacher he placed
as two fold. with a double responsibility,
and drew the lesson from the two short
sections of the Lords great sermon on
the mount, used as his text, describing
the teacher thus I'VE are the light Of the
world" ''ye are the salt of the earth
The sermon that Mr. Bratton preached
along this line of thought was one that
has not beer surpassed by any sermon
ever preached before the Assembly 1t
was not a rhetorical flourish, but it was
the gospel OF God applied TO the lives
Of teachers and spoken by teacher, it
touched strongly on those lines of life
which are The environments of teachers
II was a heart-to-heart talk, and was
listened to with rapt attention by a
deeply interested congregation.
The sermon has been the matter OF
much comment here. and on every side
many complimentary remarks were made
CT it. 1t reached the high water mark of
excellence, and stamps DR.. Bratton as a
preacher OF unusual power and excel
lence.
The Assembly has net had at it great
rush of people, friends of education"
they were once called. but it has ex-
celled in the number of bona fde teach
Crs. and educational advocates.
There las been an absence of frolic and
the ball room has not been crowded to
the dctriment of the Assembly Hall. The
teachers ANhoz veSbeen here have been
earnest and faithful in their interest in
the work OF the Assembly.
The various details of the meeting were
carried out most successfully by the en-
crgctic secretary and treasurer, Prof. w.
y. Carmichael, Jr., of Durham. He has
managed matters admirably and is able
10 say. after "a magnificent session, that

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Has Proved a Blessing to All
Ranks and Conditions
of People in
Sunni er.
A Prominent and Popular
Chicago Lady Restored
to Health.

The success of Paine'S Celery Com
pound in banishing the ills and diseases
that follow people into the summer time,
has not been confined to any particular
class of society. Men esteemed in bust
ness and professional life, mechanics,
farmers, women leaders in society, and
the wives and mothers of humble homes,
have all by voice and pen, contributed
strong testimony in favor of the medi-
cine that restored them to health and
strength.
When Paine's Celery Compound is used
there is no more neuralgia, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, stomach arrangements, liver
or kidney troubles. The blood once foul
and stagnant, is made fresh and pure,
and courses with a regularity that brings
vigor and happiness. The use of one
bottle is often sufficient to establish a
health robust enough to combat the dan
gers and perils that are common in hot
weather.
Mrs. A. r. Lermond, Chicago, H.,
Corresponding Secretary of the w. c. T.
IT,, tells of her complete restoration to
health through the use of Paine's Celery
Compound. The great medicine was
prescribed by one of Chicago's ablest
physicians. Mrs. Lermond says:
"a few years ago l went through a
surgical operation. After being in bed
for four months l was able to be. up,
but was exceedingly weak and worn,
nervous, and unable to sleep or eat. My
physician prescribed Paine's Celery Com
pound, and l at once began to feel
stronger. After using a few bottles my
health and strength were completely re-
stored, and 1 am glad to give this testi-
monial in it's favor"

Coffee Slowly and Steadily Poisons Some
Persons.
There is no doubt that coffee secretly
and quietly causes an immense amount
of misery to the human race, but in the
majority of cases the person does not
suspect the cause of the trouble.
A Virginia lady had an interesting eX-
pertinent with coffee poison. She says,
For about five years 1 was troubled with
Indigestion, weak stomach and palpita-
ton of the heart so bad that at times
would fall and have to be carried into
the house. Finally l began to have
spasms and suffered untold misery.

different doctors, only to get temporary
relief
Il finally gave up all hope of getting
well. My stomach was in such condition
that everything but stale bread would
throw me into spasms. I nearly starved
myself but never suspected that coffee
was the cause of all the trouble, nor
did have any idea what the cause was.
lone day Father told me he had been
reading how Postum Food Coffee helped
so many people who were sick from cof-
fee drinking and he urged me to leave
off coffee and try Postum. l said, oh,
Father, | cannot try it and do not be-
lieve it would do me any good but he
persuaded me to try package.
THE first making tasted so fiat that
it made me half sick, but l determined
to give it a fair trial, so / read the
directions carefully and found that it
must be boiled at least fifteen minutes.
