Charity Begins at Home.

The two local football teams which
played at the old fair grounds last
Tuesday believe in being charitable to
themselves. 1t was decided that the
gate receipts should be used for feed
ing the poor and hungry and an
oyster supper for the officials and
players was given at the Palace res
taurant Saturday night.
The occasion was such q pleasant
one that another game may be played
and everybody is cordially invited to
see 1t. The small price charged for
admission will give the spectator an
opportunity to witness a very fine
game and also to enjoy the sensation
Of having helped a charitable and
worthy cause,

GREEN SICKNESS +"

The unhealthy complexion
of green sickness is changed
to the rosy blush Of good
health by SCOTS Emulsion.
Green sickness is one Of
the forms of blood disease
found in young women. The
change from girlhood to wo-
manhood often upsets the
nervous system, weakens d.
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
SCOTS Emulsion puts new
heart into pale girls. 1t tones
up the nervous and digestive
system, and feeds the blood.
It is a natural tonic.
Remember that 3oper cent.
Of these cases go on into con-
sumption unless prevented.

Letter TO Porter & Goodwin.
Goldsboro, n. G.

Dear Sir: cit costs as much 10
put on poor paint as good"-a COM
mon saying and true-it costs much
more to put on poor paint; more gal
Ions.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand, or paint and lime, or
paint and chalk, OF paint and ben
zine, or paint and water; these are
the usual cheats; there are others.
It takes more gallons of paint-and-
a-cheat than of of honest paint; and
the cost of the labor of painting is so
much gallon-one gallon costs as
much as another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your
, costs for this year; but how about
next year,.
Paint Devoe, and next year costs
nothing; year after next the same;
the same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what you
paint with. Some of the mixtures
wear one year; some two; some
| three.
It costs twice, three times, four
time, five times, as much to paint
with a cheat as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
An Old Time and Superb Natural
Fertilizer Coming Back on
the Market.

In stsaese days when manufactured
chemical fertilizers are being turned
out in such large quantities to sup
ply the constantly increasing de-
mand for plant food, the use of the
old fashioned natural manures is be-
ing rapidly forgotten. Aside from
ordinary stable manure, which all
sensible farmers should store up for
application on their land, there is
another natural manure, which was
very popular in this State and South
Carolina some years ago, until COM
mercial reasons prevented its fur
ther importations and it was no long
er to be had. We refer to Peruvian
Guano, fertilizer that all the old
time farmers we'll remember on
account of the exceptional results
they obtained from it's use.
We are glad to say that Peruvian
Guano can be had once more. The
owners of the deposits of this mater
ial on the Islands off the coast of
Peru, finding that this manure
could not be imported into this coun-
try and sold at the old prices it used
to command (about $50 per ton,
have now arranged their price on
this material so it can be sold in COM
petition to the artifcially manufac-
tured fertilizers.
The Peruvian Guano which is
now being imported through the
ports of Wilmington and Charleston
ANALYSES about 4 per cent ammonia,
per cent potash and 20 per cent
phosphoric acid. Several vessels
havfsalready been chartered to con-
vey this material from the west
coast of South America and arrive
at these ports during the months of
December, January and February.

New York, Aug. 20.-One of tae
biggest crowds of sight-seers and
yachtsmen that ever sailed down
Sandy Hood to witness an attempt
of foreign cup hunter to wrest from
America the yachting supremacy of
the world, returned to New York
tonight disappointed because the
sea had refused field of combat to

in the conviction that Sir Thomas
Lipton's latest challenger, like the
two Shamrocks which had preceded
her, was doomed to return to Eng
land empty-handed.
Saginaw, Mich, August 90
James Budd and Eugene Moss, aged
Is years, were burned to death here
in an electric light tower at o'clock
tonight. 1t had been the practice
of boys playing in that neighborhood
to climb the tower, which is 125 feet
high, to the platform at the top. To-
night the Moss boy, while at the
top, touched a wire carrying heavy
current, and instantly his body
was a mass of flames. Young Bud
had started to descend, but returned
to attempt to rescue his companion.
The moment he touched the wire he
too became enveloped in flames.
Both were instantly killed.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 19.-Al-
bert Ecklund, alias George Joynson,
who was captured at Rawlins and
was being taken back to Chicago to
answer to the charge of grand lar
ceny, effected a remarkable escape
from Detective William Marsden.
Marsden left Rawlins last night
with Ecklund, and to make sure of
his man, shackled him to seat in
the smoking department of a chair
car. While Marsden was sleeping
beside his prisoner, Ecklund went
through the detectives pockets, Sc
cured the keys to the shackles, re-
leased himself and then shackled the
officer to the steampipes. Having
relieved the officer of his weapons
and other property, Ecklund left the
train at Laramie. Marsden was not
awakened by the conductor until
Cheyenne was reached, when he
called for assistance. AS Marsden
had absolutely nothing on his person
to prove that he was not a prisoner,
the train men would not release him.
The railroad authorities telegraphed
to Chicago for instructions, and when
the train reached Sydney, Marsden
was finally released from his predic-
ament. Tonight he passed through
Cheyenne en- route to Laramie to
try to effect the re-capture of his
prisoner.

HAY FEVER's CONQUEROR.
Breathe Hyomei and Escape This
Dreaded Summer Visitor.

Breathe Hyomei and Escape This
Dreaded Summer Visitor.
BY the use of Hyomei, you can
save an expensive trip to the noun
tains and escape weeks of suffering.
This remarkable remedy for the cure
Of hay fever, kills the germs of the
disease, soothes and heals the irri-
tated mucous membrane, if used two
or three weeks before the time of the
usual appearance of hay fever will
prevent the attack.
The completed Hyomei treatment
consists of neat pocket inhaler,
through which Hyomei is breathed,
bottle of Hyomei, and medicine
dropper. The air taken into the
lungs in this way is filled with heal
ing balsams and forms a perfect safe
guard against attacks of hay fever or
rose cold.
Those who have had hay fever,
know how little help can be gained by
stomach dosing in this disease. Hy-
omei is the only scientific yet COM
mon sense treatment for the trouble.
It is easy enough for any one to
saw that remedy will give satisfac-
ton, but J. III. Hill & Son offer to
refund the money if Hyomei does
not do all that is claimed for it, GER
tainly inspires faith in the treatment.
Hyomei really gives you in your
own home, change of climate, and
hay fever sufferers know from past
experience that this has been the
| only thing that afforded them relief.
By breating Hyomei few times
daily, you can save the expense and
trouble of mountain trip and avoid
all danger of hay fever.

JUDGE MEALS CHARGE.

From Mondays Charlotte News
we take the following account of
Judge Neal's charge to the grand
jury:
Gin his charge to the grand jury
this morning Judge Walter III. Neal
declared war on the bucket-shop. He
charged the jury that it was crime
under our law to buy or sell for fu-
ture delivery on margins, corn, cot
ton, wheat or other food or agricul-
tural products; that the law made it
illegal to operate so-called bucket
shops, and those who were in charge
of such shops, as well as those who
buy or sell therein, were guilty un-
jury that such establishments were
being operated in Charlotte and that
number of people were dealing,
according to the information that
had come to him.
"Judge Neal called upon the jury
to make a searching investigation
and if the jury found such establish
ments operating here it was the duty
of the grand jury to have such part
les brought before the court; that
the above instructions were in the
manner of a test for the present jury
system in that it would show
whether people with means and in
fluence were just as amenable to the
law as poor people, without any in
duence."

RATTLESNAKES IN STONE.
Staange Explanation of Peculiar
Markings on a Public
Building.

indianapolis News.
One of the plinths in the north
front of the new Federal building
promises i'll for the peace of mind of
the inveterate topper, for on its sur
face, in delicate tracery, is appar-
emily the outline of many rattle
snakes. An old stone man from the
Bedford quarries called attention to
the freak several days ago, and said
that such markings were very unus-
ual.
According tohis story these snakes
existed many years ago, in prehis-
toric times, back in the era when the
plots for fairy stories were laid. Pos
sibly these snakes were cold, accord
ing TO his story, anyway they coiled
closely TO one another and in that
form were petrified and we're grad
ually turned to stone. The stone ex-
pert also pointed out where the rat
ties of the snakes may be seen
plainly.
One Of the most peculiar features
of one stone is the fact that the trac-
cry shows most plainly during damp
weather, and if it were ON the south
side of the building, it is said, the
sun would soon bleach it's delicate
tracery until it would be no longer
discernable. On account of it's pres
ent situation the sun seldom reaches
it, but when it does the outlines of
the snakes completely disappear.

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE.
Mi-o-na Costs You Nothing, if it
Does Not Cure, Says J. III. Hill


& Son.
Mi-o-na, the remarkable flesh
forming food and cure for dyspep-
sia, has won fame by the unusual
way in which tits sold. It is the
only remedy offered for the cure of
dyspepsia which costs the user abb
solutely nothing unless it cures.
J. III. Hill & Son, the popular
druggists, are selling great many
packages of Mi-o-na and with every
box is given personal guarantee to
refund the money if Mi-o-na does
not give satisfaction, you to be your
own Judge as to whether the reme-
dy helps or not.
Mi. o-na is an unusual combina-
tion, it is.a fesh-forming food COM
bined with agents that regulate the
digestive organs and remove irrita-
tion, congestion and Inflammation
from the stamach, liver and intes-
tines. It enables those organs to ex-
tract from the food all that goes to
make good, rich blood, firm muscle,
steady nerves and a sound body. It
does not contain any pepsin, pam
creatin or other drugs, that never eff
feet cure and rarely give even tenn
porary. relief.
Mi-o-na puts the digestive system
into proper working order, gives
health, strength and good flesh, and
is the natural cure for indigestion.
Even in chronic cases, where life is
one long drawn out pain, this RENE
dy will effect cure. II is the SIM
plest and most reliable Of all reme-
dies. Just one tablet before or after
meals and you can eat a hearty meal
without distress.
If Mi-O-na does not do all that is
claimed for it J. III. Hill & Son will
refund your money.
