All persons knowing themselvea IN
debted to the Graphic, are requested TO-
make some effort to settle their accounts
before the first of June. We must close
up some of these long-standing accounts,
even at the sacrifice Of the customers
patronage, for we must have money To-.
meet our own obligations and pay our
bills which are falling due. A word to
the wise ought to be sufficient. Wo
have sent out bills amounting to over q
thousand dollars to: parties who are
indebted to the Graphic, but very few
of them seem to have paid any atten-
ton to our requests. Come. gentlemen,
walk up and liquidate.

Swift Agent of Death.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
The Popular Spring Medicine
is the Only Reliable Blood
Purifier.

In the springtme deaths from poison
uric acid in the blood-are common.
This malignant poison, which should be
expelled by the kidneys, is diffused
through the blood, and when allowed to
remain in the system, proves fatal. Thou
sands of men and women around us are
now suffering from kidney poisoned
blood Loss of nerve force. failure of APP
petite, nausea, constipation, pains in the
back and side and depressed spirits, in
dicate that uric acid is doing it's terrible
work.
For such a condition in springtime,
there is but one sure, tried and never
failing remedy it is Paine's Celery Com
pound, which promptly restores the kid
neys to health and enables them to per-
form their functions. With the kidneys
in proper condition, there cannot remain
the slightest trace of uric acid in the
blood. Mr.. A. u. Winters, of Cincinnati,
o., writes as follows about his wonder

I'm March, 1902, / was dangerously i'll,
and my condition became so alarming
that my family called in a specialist to
confer with our family doctor 1 was told
that my kidneys were in very bad con-
dition, and as a consequence, my blood
was charged with uric acid, l was also
suffering from rheumatism in back and
arms. Getting no positive good from
the doctors, a friend advised me to make
use of Paine's Celery Compound. The
use of the first bottle seemed to produce
magical effects, and after | had used five
bottles, I was strong and well. Today,
my blood is pure and clean, appetite
hearty l sleep well, and am gaining in
flesh and strength every day Paines
Celery Compound saved my life, and

THE LETTER TO sRERIFFs.
NAILED Out Yesterday, With Opinion in Will
lIams Liquor Case

Yesterday the State Auditor mailed out
to the sheriffs of the various counties
printed copies of the opinion of the Su-
preme court in the case of Williams
against the Commissioners of Iredell
county. Accompanying the opinion there
was sent out the following letter to each
sheriff:
Dear Sir: We beg to enclose you an
opinion just handed down by the SUI
preme court bearing upon the question
of license tax due by liquor dealers upon
the total amount of purchases, as per
section SO of the Revenue Act of 1901
Permit us to request that you read this
opinion very carefully, and if a like con-
dition exists in your county, as in
Iredell. that you take immediate steps
TO collect these taxes
IT is intimated by the court that in
many counties liquor dealers gave in
their purchases upon a basis of Is cents
per gallon, deducting the $1.10 tax paid
by the distiller to the United States
Government This is without warrant
of law, and we feel perfectly sure, that
if this has been done in your county,
youn will not hesitate to collect the diff
ference, and if settlement of State taxes
has not been made by you, to forward
these taxes to State Treasurer as "Ad-
ditional State Taxes"
Knowing the condition of the States
finances, it is hardly necessary to urge
upon you the necessity for the collection
of all legitimate taxes. Please make
diligent investigation, and advise us if
there has been any attempt to evade the
law in your county.
Very respectfully.
p. r. LACY. State Treasurer.
B. T. DIXON, State Auditor
