A GOOD THING.

German Syrup Is the special prescrip-
ton OF DR.. A. Boschee, a celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in strong and healthy condition.
It is not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms
Two million bottles sold annually Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civilized
world. Three doses will relieve any or
binary cough. Price Is and Is cents.

A DAY At CLINTON
Town Rebuilding Fast. New
Armory. Clinton Loan
Association.

Clinton, n c., April 29.-The Superior
court, Judge R. B. PEBBLES presiding, CON
yencd mere Monday for the trial of both
criminal and civil actions. Judge PEBBLES
is making an excellent impression here
and elsewhere. He has a knowledge of
the law surpassed by few occupying the
bench in the State today. Attendance
upon court is light.
Strawberry shipments are on the in
crease, but owing to continued cool
weather the fruit is OF poor color. Prices,
however. are fairly good The bulk of the
crop is being sold at the stations hence
consignments are light. Buyers from The
northern centres spend the season at the
various shipping points and buy as they
have Geographic order. Prices paid here
today ranged from 1925 to $500 per 80
quart crate. Yesterday at Warsaw ber-
ries sold as high as $780, while sales
at Mount Olive ranged round about So. s..
The crop will not be SO heavy as that
of last year by so per cent. Besides the
berry this season is of inferior quality.
Clinton is fast rebuilding But the
area wiped out by fire was so great and
the loss so heavy, it will be a long while
ere the burnt district is fully occupied
by new buildings.
The Sampson Light Infantry has
moved into it's new armory and the
company, fifty strong, is delighted with
it's new home. The equipment IL
second to that of no company in the
State. The armory is large, splendidly
lighted and ventilated and the arrange
ment of lockers and dressers is convcn-
lent. The boys are fixed as to
uniforms, the whole company being
supplied each with four new suits. For

4 RUSHING BUSINESS
A Days Shipments of Straw
berries From the East
ern Section.
lsneeial to News and observerD


Goldsboro, r. c., April 29.-The ship
ment of strawberries that passed through
this city over the Atlantic Coast Line
yesterday was the largest made this year
and amounted to i01 cars by freight and
8, 057 crates. Striking a general average
of 11h cents the shipments yesterday in
money would amount to 1929. 253.76.
Ten years ago the shipments of a whole
season would not amount to what they
dc in one day now. In fact very little
attention was paid to cultivating straw
ben ies and there We're practically no
shipments made.
Hundreds of negroes, men, women and
children, have gone from this city and
other towns north Of here into the straw
berry belt to gather the fruit and a
servant is now hard to obtain at any
price. They make good wages picking
berries. Children ten and twelve years
old can make one dollar per day. The
growers pay one cent per quart. The
shipments yesterday would mean ten
thousand six hundred and seventyfoQr
dollars and twenty four cents paid out
in cash on the spot to the pickers.

His Own Surgeon.
lWilkesboro ChronlcleO

Old Uncle John Davis, who is about
"a years old and lives out on the
Brushes, has for some time been
troubled with something like a ''mush-
room" cancer as they are called. 1t is
situated over one eye and had gotten
so large that it fell down over his eye,
completely obscuring the sight. One day
last week he took his knife and cut it
off by himself smooth to the surface.
1t bled profsely, running nearly a wash
pan full of blood. 1t is said that he
is very much better Sometime ago he
applied to a doctor to have it removed,
but the doctor thought best not to cut
it off and refused to do so. And Sc
Uncle John decided to become his oy~
surgeon.
