There is an Arab tradition cited in
Burtons Gold Mines of INDIAN re-
garding the creation of the camel
which illustrates the popular but erro-
neOus opinion that this animal is ugly
In form and temper.
The story goes that when Allah de-
termined to create the horse he called
the south wind and said, Il desire to
straw from thee new being; condense
myself by parting with thy fuidity."
The Creator then took a handful of
this element blew upon it the breath Of
life and the noble quadruped appeared.
But the horse complained against his
Maker. His neck was too short to
reach the distant grass blades on the
march; his back had no hump to steady
saddle; his hoofs were sharp and
sank deep into the sand, and he added
many similar grievances.
Whereupon Allah created the camel
to prove the @olishness of his COM
PLANT. The horse shuddered at the
sight of what he wanted to become,
and this is the reason that every horse
starts when meeting its caricature for
the first time

PREACHER AND JUDeEFALL OUT

Hon. Pope Barrow, Judge of the SUI
perior court of Chatham county, and
Rev. A. NJ. Williams, pastor of Trinity
Methodist church have reached the
correspondence stage of very acute
misunderstanding. On Sunday Mr.
Williams delivered sermon against
gambling, in which he said that there
was connivance between the courts and
the gamblers. Judge Barrow read the
story of the sermon with amazement
and then called his friends into consul
tation. He consulted with George w
Owens, II. G. Cunningham and T. P
Ravenel. These are the most promi
nent members of the bar
Monday afternoon Owens, as the per
sonal representative of Judge Barrow
bore a letter to Mr.. Williams. In i
Judge Barrow told him that while ht
could not call him, minister of The
gospel, to account for the manner il
which he had reflected upon his court
he could demand his authority and tina
he must be told who had given his au
thority for the statements made from
the pulpit.
Mr.. Williams kept the letter unit
| Tuesday, when he addressed a letter il
reply. He put it in the postofice an,
declines to say what it contains. Bar
row said in his letter that he wante,
authority not from preacher or a VIC
man, but man.

last Saturday and Sunday On Sunday
the congregation was the largest we
have seen in a long time-looked like
old times when the late Rev. N r.
Sauborn used to preach for this church.
Edgar Zimmerman and Miss Evans of
Plains spent Sunday very pleasantly in

Rutherford Ross and family, from
Lee county, came up Saturday to see

The roads are in bad condition, and
under the present mode of working
them, they will always be SO. Every
spring there is great stir among COM
missioners, and overseers-the roads
are gashed up and made into ''loblob
lolly," they then take their seats salts
fed that they have ''killed" the law
If one half of the work that is done
on the roads, was put there after crops
were ''laid by, or, in the early Fall,
we would have much better roads, but
the commissioners and overseers can
not possibly wait that long to show the
people their authority and ability.

What the Editor Advised

An authoress of some note in her day
once asked a famous editor to give his
opinion on a book which she intended
to publish. In her letter she said:
eff the work is not up to the mark,
beg you will tell me so, as 1 have other
irons in the fire, and should you think
this not likely to succeed 1 can bring
out something else"
Having read over several pages of
the manuscript, the editor returned it
with the following brief remark:
Madam, 1 would advise you to put
this where your irons are"

4 STRENGTHENED
Vinol Promptly overcones
Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN PRECEDES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
OUR VIN0L IS A STRENGTH
CREATOR.

The saddests ighton earth lisa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. It does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instanceswhere
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fem
| fren, a prominent member of the W. G.
| It. u, and resident of Suncook, n. 81.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was so nervous and
sicl1ly that every one thought was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. l was adj
vised to take Vinol, which did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS a rebuilder and
q strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-Iiver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.

for his church and raised money in Bel

Before he returned to Rome In 1916

best people in England and took close
observations upon the country. This
species of intercourse no doubt broad.

From London he went to France and
paid visit to Louis Philippe, who was
dangerously near his fall.
When he got to Rome Pope Gregory
was dying.
Pecci was well acquainted with Car
dinal Feratti, who soon became Plus
TX. and that pope made him archbish-
op Of Perugia at the age of thirty-six.
Nearly at the same time the new pope
granted general amnesty for political
Offenses and was for time regarded
as man of liberal intentions.
1t was fortunate for Archbishop Pee
ci that he could retire to distance
from Rome in the mountains toward
Tuscany and exercise his prerogatives
without becoming involved in the ris-
ing political passions at the Eternal
City, where very soon Mazzini, Carl
baldi and others revolutlonized Rome
and formed triumvirate Of dictators
and had to stand siege by the French
at the close of which the pope was so
heartily frightened that he revoked his
liberal dispositions.
Retired to city Of about 10000 peo-
pie, the archbishop Of Perugia, as has
been said, lived there thirty-two years,
or down to the year 1878. He was a
universal reader, and among the wise
saints in the Catholic age he chose St.
Charles Borromeo as a man to initiate,
the giver Of his riches to aims and edu-
cation. He thereupon gave his mind to
the study of education in Perugia.
He made up his mind in the first
place to educate his clergy thoroughly
and to see that their habits were indus
) trious and pure. Next he set upon the
education of the upper classes, many of
} whom were contemptibly illiterate
Finally he came down to the children.
