THE THREE JOES.

Communicated
The three Joes are three editors,
Each wields a facile pen.
And when they get to settling scores
All, how the fur flies then!
Joe B once felt himself inspired
To give Joe a 'batin''
And when his signal gun he fired
He found Joe c 'waitin.''
You see they differed on "State aid
Joe C pro, Joe B con-
Each from it's scabbard drew his blade
And soon the bitter fight was on,
Then said Joe B; See here Joe c.
Our folks you've been maligning;
You arguments naught but fallacy
Full of abuse and whining
Then said Joe y: stop, stop right therel
Leave off your "Bagnio' stuff
I'm busy. have no time to spare
With any such a tough
And this thing had its up and down
Like Copeland's cats a-snarlin':
While Joe d stood on higher ground"
And watched their silly ''quarrelin' )"
But things are changed and now we find
These two first Joes together,
AS thick as hops, and just as kind
AS brothers to each other.
Their spite's all turned now on Joe D
(Who can explain this puzZle)
They call on church and Trinity
To put on him a muzzle.
Lay on Joe d and let 'em see.
A few cranks amt the church
And they who bank on this will be
Left sadly in the lurch.
The preacher who forgets his Cali
To deal in politics,
Who fails to put Christ over all
Deserves a few good kicks

DlSTILLERlES IN SHORE.
DistiIIers to Contest Act Restricting
Manufacture of WhIskey There.
(spccial to News and Obsel vero

Especial to News and Obsel ver.)
Winston Salem, N c., Dec. 3o.-Distil-
lers desiring to establish distilleries in The
town Of Shore will contest the constitu-
tionality of the clause in the act restrict
ing the manufacture and sale Of liquor
to the Shore family. The act provides
That no distillery other than the ones
now existing shall be allowed to operate
in the town.
At the time of the ratification Of the
act by the last Legislature, March 6,
1903, but three distilleres then existed
in the corporate limits Of the town. Since
that time three Others have been estab-
lished, as is claimed, in violation OF TIE
act. Recently quite a number have filed
their applications for license with the
beard of town commiss oners, bat have
been refused license upon the grounds
that the act prohibits other distIllerics
being operated. 1t is ccntented by these
who have been refused the privilege of
operating their distilleries within the cor
porate limits of this town, that this provis-
ion of the act is in violation of Article i,
Section Z, of the State Constitution,
which declares: no men or set OF men
are entitled to exclusive or special emou-
ments or privileges from the community
but in consideration OF public service. -
Mandamus proceedings will be instituted
at an early date to have the constitu-
tionality of this provision OF the ACT
raised upon. 1t IS said that the dlstlller-
es now in operation in the town OF
Shore produce more W hiskey daily than
Yves produced in the entire county of
Yadkin prior to the enactment ct the
Watts law.

HAIR NATURALLY AZ oANT.
When 1t IL Free OF Dandruff, 1t Grows
LuxuriantIy.

Hair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff is the cause Of nine-tenths OF
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand-
ruff is to kill the germ; and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbros Herpicide-

sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
