"People this far east don't realize how
much snow there has been out west this
winter said H. F. Arnold at the Murray
yesterday. II was stuck in a drift out
this side of Cheyenne on the Union Pacific
from one Friday night until the next Sun
day night and every man Of us took a turn
at the shovels. Well, not every man,
either. There we're a dozen laborers and
one dude who didn't. The conductor got
square with those fellows by making them
eat after the rest of us got through, when
we finally got to a lunch counter. He told
them II they were not we'll enough to work
like the rest they were not we'll enough
to eat nk the rest"

"I want to get out to Geneva again be-
fore long and see how they come out on
their telephone franchise fight" said H.
e. Harrison, a grocery salesman, stopping
at the Schlitz when l was there this
last week the ambitious little city was all
up in the air because three companies were
trying to get the inside track for phone
service there. One of them was a home
concern and had most of the backing, but
two or three Of the councilmen we're for
some Iowa or Illinois company, I can't re-
member which, and made speeches in the
council meeting against the home company
and then there was the deuce to pay.
The man who represented the home com
pany threatened to withdraw his propo-
sition and the meeting had to adjourn until
some future time. 1 suppose the news
papers have taken sides and made 1t a real
respectable corporation fight by this time"

The auxiliary hasn't got into operation

Talk about your gold mines! A store
keeper named %Blumenthal found one in his
basement this week at Fremont" said z.
Charles Chase Of that city to a crowd
around the Murray's desk yesterday.
"Blumenthal sold out and was cleaning up
for the people who are to come in after
him. Among other things he had to move
was a great lot Of ashes down in the store
basement. When the men got to shoveling
out, they uncovered a pile OF hard coal.
There must have been at least a ton and a
half of it. Blumenthal says 1t got covered
up last winter and while he noticed it at
the time, he really forgot all about it this
fall when winter set in, and so the find
was like so much pure gain for him. Every
body in Fremont, l guess, has been spend
ing an hour or two roofing around in his
own cellar since the story got out"
They were a pair Of the real things and
they were willing all shoul know it. When
they were seated in the cafe the boy with
the bangs asked: Can we get beer In
here?" The waiter admitted that they
could, but added that he presumed they
would want it with their lunch orders. The
boy with the pompadour said, certainly they
would want 1t with their lunch order. The
waiter asked what they would have for
lunch, and the real things pondered five
minutes over the bill Of fare. Then, to
come with their beer, one ordered milk
toast and the other ordered buckwheat
cakes. The waiter went out Immediately.
He was afraid they might change their
minds and order caramel drops with Man
haitian cocktails.

London BilI would be a make shift, SOP
thrown by the politicians to the CerbeTu'
of Prohibition. The cry has been more
and more insistent for the London Bill.
So on Saturday IL was understood that
Mr.. Smith was willing to accept an
amendment abolishing the country distil-
lery (the main feature Of the Watts Bill
and Mr.. Watts has since offered an
amendment giving the right to the in
corporated towns to vote at any time for
dispensaries as we'll as for prohibition or
the saloons and for or against the dis
tilleries Ga feature of the London BID.
The Watts Bill needs now but the in
corporation of the anti-jug law, making
the place of delivery the place of sale,
for it to be stronger than the Smith
Bill and practically identical with the
London Bill. The Amendments have been
in the right direction and for the pur-
pose of getting the needed votes for the
passage of the bills
And now one good strong pull alto
gether, this week, and the work is done!
Ask by letter and telegram and delega-
ton that the representatives of the peo-
pie as distinguished from the representa-
tiyes of the saloon, stand firm, and let
them feel around them the supporting
arms of their people-and a new era
dawns upon North Carolina.

Disfguring and Troublesome Skin
Diseases Easily Banished by
Paine'S Celery
Compound
A Marvellous Cure After the Failures
of Ten Doctors.

skin diseases are very common with
old and Young, and some forms are eX-
cae,iaelv troublesome. and cause serious
disYigiiration of the face and complexion.
Eczema. salt rheum, scrofula, shingles,
ringworm. boils, pimplcs itch, and
score of other disaoreeable troubles, re-
suit from sluggish, impure, and poisoned
blood. If you truly desire to get rid of
such evils, do not resort to outward
treatment or applications. Common
sense and the experience of your friends
will at once suggest a blood purifier and
system renovator like Paine's Celery
Compound. This marvellous cleanser
soon multiplcs the number of vital red
corpuscles, and fills the arteries with q
health stream that produces clean, solid
flesh, and firm, well-braced nerves. Mrs
L. s. Bailey, West Potsdam, n Y,
writes thus:
II had small blotChes break out on my
head, and in a short time my whole body

fula. l have had as many as ten doctors

A goodly number of citizens, despite the

at Pembroke yesterday. Petitions after
petitions came in until it was found more
that 1.500 of the qualified voters of this
county had asked the Legislature now in
session to allow an election for the coun-
ty of Robson to decide as to whether the
court house shall be moved from Lumber
ton to Pembroke or not. A large delega-
tion was appointed from the various
tow nships to go to Raleigh to insist upon
the question being left to the voters TO
decide the matter. This looks like an
equitable proposition as the election is
to be held at the expense of the petition
ers and is intended to save the disrup-
