FAREWELL DINNER TO BRIDE-ELECT
Miss Mary Elizabeth FAIRIES Guest of Honor at
Farewell Dinner" Before Leaving to Be-
come the Bride of Mr.Walter E Jones.

The announcement of the approach
FAIRIES, daughter of Mrs. Rebecca Far
les of this town, to Mr.. Walter ElwoOd /
Jones, of Narbeth Pa. has been received |
with no less interest on the part |
of her intimate friends and relatives,
than it has by her old school friends,
girls who have been bound by ties of
affection for many years. Their rolick-
some school days are over. Grown to
womanhood, they have taken up more
serious duties of life, but the ties that
bound them in their early school days,
have never been severed and it Is
doubtful whether eleven girls ever
held together, as has been the case
with this happy circle. Carrying out
their custom in the past, the bride
elect was made the guest of honor at
Farewell Dinner" The invitation
written in poetry, was extended by Miss
NJ. Edith Beck, on behalf of the young
ladies which was likewise accepted in
verse. The dinner was most success
fully held at the residence of Mrs.
Anna Stevenson Truax, on Friday
evening, and all were present except
| Mrs. Florence Hazell BOotes, of Wash
ington, d. c., and Miss Katherine
Wilson, of Philadelphia.
Recount Their Happy School Days.
The table was charmingly decorated
for the occasion. Streamers of white
ribbon were hung in festoOns from the
electr0lier to the four corners of the
table, and caught at each corner with
, an immense bunch of carnations. Miss
Margaret Ruth Lank, of Wilmington,
was toastmistress, and around the table

courts to be honest, and criminals pun
ished, why does it not cry aloud-and
call on the solicitor to indict every man
implicated in the bribery and have them
put on the roads? Then the people would
say: The soul of this paper is not in the
rocket of the Southern: it does not spare
corruption when detected, but cries out
for justice and punishment.
Are we not amidst strange scenes and
altered conditions? 1t is often spoken Of
III the public prints that in some of the
Northern and Western States where great
trunk lines dominate political affairs,
that they are also able to escape justice
in the courts, and the plan resorted to is
to bribe either the jury or the witnesses.
1t is limited that at times the judges
even have been put under suspicion. Such
things in North Carolina are of recent
growth If such corruption can be toler-
ted here in any one case and go I'M
punished to the limit of the law, no mans
cause will ever be safe again in this State.
Especially will this be so If much is at
stake, and it will not matter whether
life. or property, or truth, or reputation
be the stake. If a juror can be bought
and paid for and verdicts thus prevented
or obtained, the country is reduced to q
state CT anarchy. Let the men who favor
bribery be known. Let those who oppose
il be known. 1t is a pity, if true, that a
public journal should lend itself to
condone such offences.
1.-The trouble is as stated above. If the
writer's for paper wear the collar OF
master, they are not permitted to OWE
their souls and express their own
thoughts.
1.-THE correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer says under date of December
10th that the local attorney of the South
ern at StatesviIle, Mr.. l.. c. Caldwell who
himself was up before the court on the
same charge when Gorham was, is circu-
lating petitions to get Gorham pardoned.
When Gorham was convicted it was pub
lshed in the papers that Gorham was out
of the service of Southern-that he had re-
signed. Why is the Southern's news
paper, and the Southern's lawyer work
ing on the public mind to forgive or par
don hi,n? Is the Southern afraid Cor
ham will let the cat out and tell some
thing? Is there rot here found the clue
Why is the Southern and it's attorney SO
anxious to help Gorham? When they kill
they don't bother any longer. II he is
discharged, and they arc not afraid, why
bother?
1.-The people will condemn this bust
ness if they know the facts. The courts
have done themselves some credit by
saying they arc not exhausted. The Gov
ernor will Go himself credit by refusing to
pardon corruptionists. The press of the
State now needs to be argus eyed and eX-
pose rascality.
.Your exposures OF late are attracting
unusual attention and approval OF those
who believe in honest dealings"

trio, and when the stomach fails to prop
erly digest the food and it lies in the
stomach fermenting, gases are formed
which distend the organ causing pres
sure on the heart and lungs causing pal
Citation. irregularity and ShOrtness OF
breath.
The danger from this condition is that
the continued disturbance of the heart
sooner or later may cause real organic
heart trouble and in fact frequently does
SO.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the
blood thin and watery and deficient in red
corpuscles, and this further irritates and
weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to insure the digestion ana
assimilation of the food
This can be done by the regular use
otter meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets which may be
found at most drug stores and which con-
tain the necessary digestive elements in
pleasant convenient form.
Thousands of people keep well and Wig

THINKS PENsloN LAWS
NEED REMODELING
Fort Mountain, Ca, Nov. Is, 1st

Fort Mountain, Ga, Nov. 10, 1909.
To the Editor of The Journal:
have been reading Gov. TerrelPs
message and 1 write to say I fully in
dorse what he says about schools, etc.
But the most important thing before our
law makers today is the remodeling Of
the pension laws. Commissioner Lindsey's
report in The Journal is simply appall-
ing. His estimate for 1903 is $3.50, 900.
This is an elephant too heavy to be borne
by the state of Georgia to the detriment
of the schools. Let me say that 1 am
an old Confederate veteran 65 years old,
one who fought with Pickett around
Richmond and Petersburg, one who laid
down his gun at Appomattox and walk
ed home. 1 have never tried to draw
pension and don't mean to as long as
am able to work. I love the old vets
and never want to hear of one dying in
a county poor house. But there is rea-
son in all things and the pruning knife
ought to be used on this enormous PEN
sion list. 1 would suggest that the first
pension law for disabled or wounded
soldiers be repealed and all who are not
able to live without a pension come in
to the INDECENT list. My understanding
is that many are drawing from the state
for being wounded who are well off and
don't need it. / think this is shameful.
Then let the INDECENT pension law be
remO0eleQ so LnaL no one snail draw
who can live without IL.
Every old veteran should belong to his
county camp. and then require the camp
TO approve or disapprove Of his appli-
cation. Have the vote taken in the camp
by private ballot; If he is blackballed that
will stop his pension. I know plenty Of
old veterans who are drawing that are
able to work and make a good living.
and If you hire one he asks the same
pay that you give young man. Out Of
all due love and respect for the old SOL
diers l say something ought and must
be done to save the old state from bank
ruptcy and to foster the schools.
