THE DEVIL DID II
And the Religious Editor Was
Turned Loose on
Him.

The devil Of the News and Observer
print shop received severe lecture
from the Religious, Editor of the paper
Yesterday on account of the pernicious
Anril Fool story that found its way irto
the local columns of the great State
daily.
A strict and searching inquiry of the
entire staff was conducted yesterday
morning by the Detective Editor, and the
crime was positively fixed upon the devil.
The Editor in Chief then turned loose
the Religious Editor upon that poor boy.
The devil was seen a little later i'll
the day, and he said weeping, that never
again would he use any of the mighty
colored vocabulary for which he was
famous. He never knew before how
awful these words sounded. He was a
sadder and q better boy.
1t is hoped that the news of this awful
punishment that was melted out to the
devil will, in some measure, propitiate
the large number of angry patrons of the
paper who, on yesterday, visited the
office and called up the editor by all
three phones, so timing their calls that
the three phone bells always rang out
at the same time. There was only one
answer that could be given to all: THE
devil did it
One man who lives four miles out in
the country actually walked in all that
way to sec the convicts reviewed by the
distinguished committee of North Caro-
linians said to have been selected by the
Governor.
Between five and six o'clock yesterday
evening fully two hundred and fifty peo-
pie were gathered at Nash Square tc
see the first review. They saw the usual
crop of colored nurses and babies; moth
ing more, except a lot of other people
who looked like they wanted to find
something.
But it's all right, the devil caught it.

70 ENTER THE MINISTRY.
T. Watts, Raleigh Boy, Resigns Lucrative
Position With illinois Central.

The Daily Clarion-Ledger of Jackson,
Mississippi, states that Mr.. j. T. Watts,
of that city, has resigned his position as
travelling freight agent of the Illinois
Central system, to accept the pastorate
of the First Baptist church at Aberdeen,
Mississippi, one of the largest and most
important congregations in that State.
Mr.. Watts is one of Raleigh's boys who
have met with success away from home,
and the Clarion-Ledger has this to say
about him:
"Mr. Watts is only twenty-nine years
of age, and is a native of Raleigh, North
Carolina, where his early life was spent
and education received II is doubtful if
there is young clergyman in Mississippi
who possesses a more thorough knowl-
edge of the Bible than he. or who pre-
sents a better appearance in the pulpit.
His language is smooth and owing and
his relivery stamps him as an orator of
exceptional ability.
"As a minister of God there is every
reason why Mr.. Watts should be a pro-
nounced success. He is deeply imbued
with the work, and possesses all the ac-
tivity. energy and executive ability so
essential to a successful pastor. AS yet
he has not been ordained as q minister,
but this will come in the course of a few
weeks, as there is no doubt whatever
concerning his ability to stand the eX-
animation of the church"

WILL NEED TROOPS
Prof. Sharp Says Feeling
Against Broadnax is
Not Abated.

Jim Broadnax, who is in the State pen
itcntiary awaiting trial at Rcidsvillc for
the murder of Sidney Blair. viii need the
protection of the State troops on the oc-
cason of his trial Monday week.
- Prof. J. NJ. Sharp of Intelligence, who
was in Raleigh yesterday, said to a re-
porter of The News and Observer that
feeling in the county is by no means
abating and that without the slightest
doubt if there should be any miscarriage
of justice the negro murderer would be
the victim of hemp from the hands of an
Infatuated citizenship
Mr. Sharp's home is twenty-five miles
from the scene of the murder, but even
in his section there are hundreds of men
who would be ready to answer a call to
lynch the brute who killed Mr.. Blair and
shot Miss Walker. 1t is believed in that
county that protection of the militia will
be given the prisoner until after he re-
ceives the sentence of the court Every
effort has been cXorted to keep down
the feeling throughout the country and
every influence has been at work to pre-
vent lynching The ablest men in the
county have urged patience and it is be-
lieved that if the court acts promptly and
gives sentence for prompt execution of
the law that there will be no trouble.
Judge BENZ. r. Long, of Statesville,
will preside at the term of court at which
Broadnax will be tried and Solicitor Por-
ter Graves will conduct the prosecution,
The court will have to select counsel for
BroadnaX.

MORE THAN HALF.
Suffer From Coffee Drinking,

Suffer From Coffee Drinking,
Coffee does not set up disease with all
people using it. on the other hand 1t alb
solutelv does create disease in thousands
and thousands of cases perfectly well au-
thenticated and traceablc directly to cof-
fee and nothing else.
This statement may hurt the feelings
of some coffee drinkers but the facts are
exactly what they are.
Make inquiry of some of your coffee
drinking friends and you may be certain
of one thing one half of them. yes more
than half, suffer from some sort of in
cipient or chronic disease. II you want
to prove it, the coffee, or would prefer to
prove il is not the coffee in these cases,
take coffee away from those persons for
from ten days to a month, don't change
the food in any other way but give them
Postum Food Coffee. and the proof of
whether coffee has been the trouble OF
not will be placed before YOU in unmis
taxable terms.
young lady in the St. Mary's Aca-
denny. Winncpeg Can, says lone of our
teachers suffered long while from in
digestion. She was a coffee drinRer. She
became worse steadily and finally was
reduced to a point where the stomach
did not retain any food, then electricity
was tried but without avail. She. Of
course, grew weak very fast and the doc
tor said the case was practically incur
able.
About that time | was attracted TO 4
statement in one of the papers regarding
the poisonous effect of coffee and tho
value of Postum Food Coffee. The state
ment was not eXtravagant but couched
in terms that won my confidence and
aroused me 10 the belief that ii was true.
| persuaded our teacher TO leave off the
morning cup of coffee altogether and use
Postum Food Coffee.

get better. She has now regained her
strength and is able to eat almost every
kind of food and has taken her position
