q LAWS DELAY.

The best editorial that we have read
in many months appears in this weeks
Charity and Children. 1t does not APP

bury lynching, it upholds the hands Of
the Governor and other officers of the
law in trying to apprehend and bring to
trial the men who took the law into
their own hands. but it also points out
one of the causes that tends to lessen
respect for the law. We quote the edi-
torial in full:
I'VE are glad that Governor Aycock
went to the limit of the law in Offering
rewards for the Salisbury lynching moi
who committee so great an outrage upon
law and order and common decency.
But behind all this unreasoning passion
and brutality, there lies a cause for much
of the violence We have suffered at the
hands Of needless mobs. At this very
hour there lies in the Rowan county Jail
three criminals who ought to nave been
hung long ago. Two of them are in
prison for the nameless crime, and the
other for as cold bloodcd a murder as
was ever committed. Their cases have
Ecen postponed from court to court, for
one technical reason and another, until
the public have turned away disguised
at the intcrminablc delay, and the evil
thought in mems hearts of appealing to
lynch law, which is always prompt, took
deeper root, until as in the recent de-
plorablo occurrence, it completely doni-
mated the natures of enough reckless men
to outrage the law and disgrace the COM
munlty. 1t is a pity that so many loop
holes are allowed in the processes Of
cur courts for guilty wrctches to escape.

THE STRIKE.

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 15.-The
nineteenth week of sthe great coal strike
opened this morning without any ma
terial change in the situation. Both
sides to the fight apparently arc as firm
AS ever, one for concessions and recog-
milton. and the other surrender without
conditions. Conflicting rumors still con-
linue to disturb the atmosphere, per-
sistent among which is the one to the
effect that the Philadelphia * Reading
Coal and Iron Co. will post notices of
fering to reinstate all old workmen who
will return to wo k within ten days. In
emp the soldiers are growing weary OF
their continued inactivity. 1t is under
stood, however, that troops will not be
Withdrawn until the strike is over.

resumed operations as usual this morn

to modest the men going to work. The
failure of Governor Stone and President

RAvAGEs OLE FOREST FIRES.

Astoria, Oregon, Sept. l5.-Rain be-
gan to fall in northwestern Oregon this
morning, and it is expected that the
rorest fires, which have been raging In
that section during the past few days,
will soon be extinguished.
Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 15.-Ihe
forest fires in northwestern Oregon and
Washington continue with unparalleled
fury, destroying the lives of people III
small towns, threatening to ruin towns
and cities and laying waste thousands
upon thousands Of acres of the richest
timber lands in the country. The con-
fiagrations have made Roadway with
amazing rapidity. While it is believed
they cannot further imperil The larger
cities, the danger to property in outlying
districts continues. The destruction OF
telegraph and telephone lines renders it
difficult to obtain correct estimate OF
the loss of life, From scant reports OBJ
tanned it is thought that no less than 100
persons arc dead. The greatest loss
of life appears TO be along the Lewis
river in Washington, where logging
camps are numerous. Many persons
are known to have persisted in that sec
ton and reports of additional fatalities
are being received here hourly.

DEATH OF JUSTICE GRAY.

Lynn. Mass, Sept. l5.-Justice
Horace Gray, of the United States
Supreme Court, died at Nahant today.
Paralysis was the cause of death.
Justice Gray was born in Boston in
1928. His education from primary
school through law was obtained in his
home city. He was graduated from
Harvard in the class of 1910, I'M
mediately entering the Harvard law
school. from which he graduated IN
lS49. Two years later he was adj
mitted to the bar and from that time
his advance in his profession was steady
In the death of Justice Gray, Massa-
ehusetts loses one of its most brilliant
barristers and the United States one OF
its oldest legal authorities. For the
greater part of his early and middle
life he was connected with the courts
of Massachusetts,, leaving them to enter
the Supreme Court of the United States
in 1882.
On August II of this year he resigned
on account of i'll health. In his place
President Roosevelt appointed Hon.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
With the exception of Justice Harlan,
Justice Gray had served on the u. >.
Supreme bench longer than any other
present member. Previous to his
resignation Justice Gray had suffered
several attacks of apoplexy. He was
with the majority of the court in the
decision in the income tax case and the
iIsular cases. Justice Gray was always
an ardent republican.
Lynn, Mass, Sept. l5.-Judge Gray
died early this morning at his summer
cottage at Nahant. He had been IN IL
health long time, but it was stated
that he was out riding yesterday. Mrs
GRAY, when seen this morning refused al

husband and nothing regarding his las
hours could be learned.

Garrett, and much evidence was intro
duced directly connecting Scott Bradley

REGISTRATION.

To the voters of the city of, Alexandra
wish to call attention to the fact that
tho registration books of the First ana
Second wards are now open, ana 70 urge
upon YOU the importance of Immediately
registering. A false impression has been
created as to the provisions OF the new
constitution and it may be well Tor you
70 know that there is not the slightest
probability of any white person OF thls
city. who is entitled to register, pelng
refused. Any person who can comply
With either one of the following provisions
of the Constitution is entitled to register.
First-A person, who, prior to the
adoption of this constitution, served III
tire Of war in the army or navy OF
the United States, of the Confederate
States. or of any State OF the onitea
States or of the Confederate States; or
Second-A son of any such person; or,
Third-A person, who owns property
upon which, for the year next preceeding
that in which he offers to register State
taxes aggregating at lsat one dollar
have been paid; or,
Fourth-A person able to read any
section of this constitution submitted to
him by the officers of-registration and to
Give reasonable explanation OF the
Same: or it unable to read such section,
able 70 understand and give reasonable
exclamation thereof when read to him by
the officers. a..
II will be seen from the above that
there will be no difficulty whatever In
any white citizen placing his name upon
the registration books, but should any
difficulty arise, through any misunder-
standing whatever, if the person having
such misunderstanding will report the
same to me- will give the matter my
personal attention.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
promptly offer himself for registration, in
order that he preserve his right of sui
frage. If they fail to do so i'll the re-
gu red time, the responsibility cannot be
traced to any fault of the law or those
enforcing it, but must be assumed by
those who neglect to comply Herewith:
The registration books of the First and
Second wards are now open, and will con
tinue to be open from 1900 noon 20 900
D. H., for only few days longer and l
hope that our citizens will not need FUR

DURING the past quarter OF century
much interest has been taken by many
in the study of prophecy, and numbers
pretend to see in present conditions the
closing days of the Christian dispense
ton. or church age, which has existed
nearly nineteen hundred years. 1t is
said that false messiahs will be among
the signs of the later days, and the ex-
plots of a man named Pigott in London
Yesterday will naturally attract the at
tention Of those who are watching for
the sudden transition of mundane things.
Pigott is not the only individual who has
sprung up in the past few years and an
nounced himself as the Christ, while
those who have pretended to have the
gift OF healing or power to perform
miracles have been so numerous as tt
cease to attract attention.

BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous fool fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish PARTICULAR part OF
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of Green
August Flower, the favorite medicine Of
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action. purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
