Owes His Life to a Neighbours
Kindness,

Mr.. ID. P. Daugherty, well known through
out Mercer and Sumner counties, W. Va,
most likely owes his life to the kindness of a
neighbor. He was almost hopelessly afflicted
with diarrh~a; was attended by two physi
clans who gave him little, if any, relief when
Il neighbour learning of his serious condition
brought him a bottle of Chamberlain Cole

THE DISPENSARY QUESTION.
MIR. Hicks Writes in Advocacy of the
Measure.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-There are some
good men and true in this town who
prefer having eight or ten bar-rooms
where social drinking, treating, gaming,
profanity and many of the forms of law
lessness may and do often occur. and
where liquor is sold for about six hun
dred per cent. profit, to a dispensary
where pure liquors are sold in small seal
ed packages, in the day time only. not to
be opened Or drunk on the premises and
at a profit of only 80 per cent. and
| bought, handled and sold in such Il man
ner that it cannot corrupt the one who
handles it. Isn't it a myste'y how they
can entertain that preference? They
think that by voting for this change
they will be in some way voting for the
sale of liquor. They are now sustaining
government that allows it's sale, a
party that enacts laws permitting it,
and they know by experience that abso-
sOlute prohibition cannot becarried, nor
enforced ii carried, and they know that a
dispensary will reduce the sale of liquor
at least half and improve the quality of
that sold, and double the revenue re-
| ceived by the town and the schools from
| the traffic, and that there is not going to
| be prohibition election, and that there
| will be s or more bar-rOOmS Or dis
pensary.
These brethren don't drink liquor,
| they don't love it, they don't go in bar
| rooms. they know that bar-rooms are
| bound hand and foot with laws and
| police regulations that are often broken,
in short they can describe the evils OF sa-
| looms more wildly than any dispensary
man in town, and they know that dis
1
| man who has no inducement to break
the law, yet they decide to stand for
saloons in preference to a dispensary. II
| these few men saw half a dozen pretty
| little innocent girls standing in the front
| door of a store in the principal business
J block of Henderson and they knew con-
| fagratiOn was starting on the inside
that they could extinguish by rushing in
| and that the girls wouldn't or cOuldn' t
move, think you they would stay out
| while the town burned down, lest they
| cause slight injury to these girls in pass.
| ing by them? | think they would rush
| right in. And they ought to know that
| idealism has no place in government
| that no party or platform represents all
| the ideals OF any intelligent. thoughtful
| man; but that the idealist, the refOrmer
stirs up and excites the people to better
| ways and thus moves them to the high
est conceptions in government, and then
when voting day comes he recoilects that
| he must have some part in the actual
business of governing or none, and SO he
selects and votes for the lesser two Of the
evils, Or for the party that seems to him
to stand for the most that is good.
4 majority of the people of this town
have signed a petition for dispensary
election. A majority is willing to try q
disrensary. Let not the leaders in the
vanguard of moral progress be found
standing Indirectly for the worse O.
two evils, but for the less

Rydales Elixir,

The new scientific discovery for diseases of
the throat and lungs, acts upon new prin-
ciple differing greatly from the old style of
Cough Medicines. which are composed chiefly
OF wild cherry and tar. which do little more
than stimulate the lining of the throat and
lungs. Rydales Elixir strikes at the root
OF the trouble, it kills the microbes that cause
throat and lung diseases. 1t removes the
cause and hastens recovery by helping nature
restore the diseased organs to health

DEATH FOLLOWS BETRAYAL.
Young Man Killed as Result of Refu-
sal to fairy the Girl He Had RG-
ined.

Salisbury, N. G., September IL
Russell Sheriff., member of a prom
inent family in Western Rowan, was
shot this morning by Chalmers and
Thomas White, both of whom are
well known and leading citizens OF
Concord. The shooting was i'll con-
sequence OF the seduction OF their
neice, Miss Mamie White, Il young
woman socially we'll connected.
The Whites received q letter yes
terday from the mother OF the girl,
whose father is dead, telling them of
her ruin and imploring them to come
at once. They left Concord i'll Il We
hicIe yesterday and spent the night
with Miss White and her mother,
both of whom were distracted. They
called at the home of Sheriff., who is
% years old, at 6 O'Clock this morn
ING and insisted that he marry their
neice. They told him they were her
! nearest male protectors and felt an
| interest in the affair. Sheriff. fatty
refused to marry the young woman
and said he would die first. He is
| said to have bOasted that he had Sc
duced other girls and did not have
to marry them and he saw no reason
why he should marry Miss White.
He made IL threatening movement
toward Chalmers White, who retreat
ed to the edge of the porch. He was
told to be calm and reason about
the matter, but paid no attention to
the admonitiOn. Sheriff. continued
advancing and both the Whites fired
upon him. He lived about an hour.
His mother was the only witness eX-
cept the defendants to the tragedy.
The Whites came Immediately to
| Salisbury and gave themselves up
and are now in Jail. Senator Over
man and Congressman kluttz repre-
sent them. They made a motion in
court this afternoon that the defen-
dants be released on bail. The motion
will probably be considered Satur-
day morning, in the meantime await
ing the arrival of Solicitor Hammer,
who will represent the State.
Chalmers White is 30 years old and
is partner in the firm of Cannon &
Fetzer. at Concord, one OF the lead
ing mercantile establishments in
North Carolina. Tom White is 40, is
married and has child.
