Greensboro, N. c., January %
Judge Boyd returned from Washing
ton last night. He did not go as stat
ed in some of the papers to recon-
mend to President Roosevelt the COM
mutation of Lawrence G.. Pulliam, Of
the defunct First National Bank Of
Asheville. He has not acted in he
case since he sentenced Pulliam to four
years in the penitentiary, the mini
mum punishment. When he an
nounced that sentence he stated that
he would recommend to the pres
ident to commute the same to a short
term in Jail on account of Pulliam'S
age and the condition Of his health.
But there has been no application for
q pardon yet. Judge Boyd would prob
ably not recommend an absolute par
don. He thinks Pulliam should have
ten months or a year in Jail. Nearly
all of the members of the jury Whic:,
convicted Pulliam signed a petition to
commute his sentence to a Jail sem
tence of six months.

damage n the only thing missed was
some loose change.

The canal treaty has been signed
and it is TO be hoped that it will be
ratified this session of congress-. While
many Americans who had made a
study of the isthmian canal question
greatly favored the Nicaraguan route
it seems that it was impossible to
secure this. 1t is better to accept the
Panama o than none at all or to
greatly delay matters in hopes of Sc
curing it. What we want most is an
isthmian canal; the route is of minor
consequence. If we cannot get the
one we think preferable let's take the
other and go ahead and build it. 1t
seems that in the treaty with Colom-
bia, just signed, our government has
secured all the points contended for
except the amount of dues to be paid
that country. Our proposition was to
pay 500, 900 a year. Colombia contend
ed for $3.50, 600. The matter has been
compromised at $3.50, 900. We gain our
point as to perDetuity and control
Over the canal area. Let the en2te

this matter much longer We will get

A STUBBORN COLD OR


yields more readily to SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take;
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the
night choked up and cough
ing hard, take a dose of the
Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where no
cough medicine will give you
relief. 1t has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat
