Travelling Is Dangerous.

Constant motion jars the kidneys which
are kept ia place in the body by delicate
attachments. This is the reason that trav-
eers, trainsmen, street car men, team
sters and all who drive very much suffer
from kidney disease in some form. Foley's
Kidney Cure strengthens the kidneys and
cures all forms of kidney and bladder di-
sease. Geo H. Hausan, locomotive engi-

sense Municipal law is usually defined as "a
rule OF civil conduct prescribed by the supreme
power in the State commanding what is right

the supreme power commands is necessarily right
from the standpoint of legality and what it pro-
hibits is wropw il would be more correct to
say simply that law is the will of the supreme
mower in the State. What is the Supreme Power?
That is the question always debated and never
more acute than now. A free country is one
where public opinion is the supreme power and
where the will of the majority faithfully formu-
lated by the public servants freely chosen is
duly executed AS Edmund Burke said

Cashier,

State Bank Examiner Ellington is i'll
Charlotte and while there he gave it as
his opinion that Elk Cashier Tom Dewey
is in hiding in Eastern North Carolina.
Telling the story the Charlotte News
says:
'Mr Ellington was put in charge of the
Merchants and Farmers Bank of New
Bern, directly after Cashier Dewey left
with something like $135,OOO of the banks
money. He remained in charge until Re
ceiver Thomas Daniels was -,,;tI4sd.
MIR. Ellington informs The News that,

lima. He thinks he left the State directly
after the occurrence but seems satisfied
that he has returned and is now in hiding
in Eastern North Carolina.
up to the present time the exact
amount of Deweys defalcation is not
known 1t was stated several days ago
that the amount would figure up $131, 900.
Mr. Ellington thinks these figures will be
increased when all the outstanding checks
come in. He says that to his personal
knowledge one check for 81, 500 is still out

left New Bern. One is kept by the stock
holders and the other has become the prop

card is said to be one of the best that
Dewey has ever had taken. 1t shows the
missing man as clean shaver and dressed
in the best of style Since his departure,
the bank officials have sent to New York
and secured large number of these cards.
They have been sent broadcast over the
country in the hope that he might be

"Mr. Ellington informs The News that,
in his opinion, the directors are lawfully
bound for double the amount of the capt.
tai of the bank and in this event the de-
positors will not suffer any loss.
eff this be true, the making good of
the large shortage will fall heavily upon
some prominent families of New Bern.
Last summer, Mr.. Ellington states
that Dewey's entire family spent the
! entire summer at the Atlantic Hotel,
Morehead. He was paying out each
month about $500 and his salary amount

Eyes, Director Marks, of New Bern,
is the man who is hardest hit by Tom
Dewey's taking all the funds of the Far
mers and Merchants Bank" said a Char
lotte man who had just returned from a
visit to New Bern. Marks is said to be
the largest stakeholder and was the largest
depositor. Tom Daniels, now receiver for
the bank, called the directors together
and said:
g Gentlemen, it is my painful duty to
inform you that Mr.. Dewey has embezzled
$131, 900 from the bank, and has left in
the bank $1,000
'What?' cried Mr. Marks, with his
right hand held behind his ear.
Mr.. Daniels repeated his statement.
oh said Mr.. Marks. Mr.. Dewey
has made mistake, is it not so? We
must find out where he is and send him
