Disturbed Peace of the Seadogs.

Disturbed Peace OF the Seadogs.
81 do not know why it is, husband,
but our Hazel, young as she is, is wor-
rying great deal. That girl. Sankala,
disturbs her peace of mind. She does
not like her. The poor girl is kind to
our Hazel and all of that but our child
seems to have most natural antipathy
for her.
"Sankala is the most popular girl at
school. The teachers love her, the
girls run after her and the boys wor-
ship her. They look upon her as some
superior being and yet she is only a
poor little waif that you remember was
cast ashore here many years ago.
cold Ringwold, her father, is drink
ing more and more whenever he can
get it, and the child, poor thing, much
as as she disturbes our. Hazel, seems
more devoted to the old man every
day.
"It would be better for her if he
should die, but then it would almost
kill her, for the poor thing worships
the old fellow. But it would be bad
for the village if Ringwold should die.
There would be no one to fill the diff
cult prescriptions at the. drug store and
I do not know what poor GosneIl would
do without him.

woman more cautiously, az do not like
that girl Sankala. She is all kindness

WHERE Is THE SENSATION?
Vardalnan Says the White Man Shall
Rule and They say it Creates a
Sensation.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 12.-GoVernOr
Vardaman today made the opening
speech at the Cotton and Corn Carni-
val and after welcoming the visitors,
branched off into politics and made a
very sensat ional utterance. In touch
inch on the attitude that Southern
representatives assumed in their fight
against the reduction OF Southern rep
resentatives the governor said:
And instead of going to the Con-
gress of the United States and saying
that there is no distinction made in
Mississippi between race and color or
previous contend of servltude, tell the
truth and say this: We tried for many
years to live in Mississippi and share
sovereignty and dominion with the ne
gro and we saw our institutions
crumbling, we saw the public funds
squandered, we saw the civilization
that our forefatheTs had fought for
passing away and the law Of self
preservation ching the first law we
observed it: we rose in the majesty
and highest type of anglo-Saxons man
hood. and took the rein Of government
out of the hands of the carpet-baG-
ger and negro. and, so help us God,
from now on we viii never share any
sovereignty or dominion with him
again
The remarks of the governor have
created sensation They are diamet-
ricaliy opposed to the views of the
minority leader Congressman John
Sharpe Williams, of this district.

WIRE LINE LOST
w. u. Must Let Poles on
Penn. Roads Right of
Way Alone.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Supreme
court Of the United States today de-
cided the case Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company KS. The PennSyi-
vania Railroad Company. involving the
right of the railroad company 10 re re-
move the telegraph companys poles
from its right of way in favor of the
railroad company. The opinion was
handed down by Justice MCkenna. IN
the decision the court held that the
Congressional act of 1866, which con-
trOlled in the case, does not grant
eminent domain to telegraph COM
panies over the private property Of
railroad companies.
Justice McKenTaS' decision, followed
precedent Of the Pensacola and other
cases decided many years ago by the
Supreme court. He refused to adopt
argument of telegraph companies
counsel, tending to the conclusion that
railroad right of way is public prop
erty. 1T has always been recogniz-
ed" continues the opinion, that a
railroad right of way is so far private
property as to be entitled to that pro-
vision of the Constitution which for
bids it's taking, except under the pow
er Of eminent domain and upon pay
ment OF compensation. The right OF
way Of a railroad was recognized as
case"
Justice Harlan delivered q dissent
ing opinion. holding that the act OF
1866 gives 10 telegraph companies the
unequiv0cal right to construct and OPP
crate lines not only upon the public
domain but along any post road of
the United states and he contenGed
that if decision was to stand the
United states government could not
itself enter upon the rights Of way
of railroad companies.

i WICKED TOOTH OF GOLD.
Crooked" Lock OF Jim Rogers. a Ne
gro with an Alias. Charged VITA
Shop iiftiEg--DeXtc. Bob
bits Break for
Freedom

In the person Of Jas. Rogers, alias
jas. Watford, VINO was baggCd by
Policeman Banks yesterday on the
charge Of stealing articles OF clothing
from Hebrew merchants on Whining
ton St. the police believe they have Sc
cured a peripatetic CROOK of dignity
and dimensions in evil.
This thought is based not on any
evidence which the officers possess but
merely upon the personality of their
captive. Rogers is a croOkly looking
parsonage; and he talks with that re-
signed SAVIOR faire which ooZes eX-
perience at every pore. Rogers talks
in that impairment style which cannot
be taken hold OF for any actual mis-
demcanor yet which is as evident as
the color of his skin, which is ginger
cae splotched with dissipation. His
discourse is that Of the wise guy
1t reeks with an insoicnt vet Indefln-
able assertion of equality. To ado TO
these marks Of suspicion, Rogers pos
sesses an eye-tooth Of solid gold! In
less one has seen it the Wickedness,
the depravity, of that tooth cannot
hope 10 be realized. 1t is the gleaminI
badge of sin; the staring tombstone of
virtue. When the police saw it in
the red and white cavern OF their pris-
oner's mouth they perhaps did not an
alyze-but its croOkedness bit into
their souls!
Jas. Rogers-the name he gave at the
station house struck Raleigh eight
days ago and got board with a negro
woman on East street where he was
known as Jas. Watford. He claims
to have lived in Florida for two years
ana to have stopped over in Raleigh
on his way home from New York.
Twisting his mouth SO as to show off
his tooth he says with a wicked grin

Ike Seigleman. however identified
two pairs of pants with new creases

from his store yesterday and one

Rogers possession. The prisoner viii
be given a hearing in Mayors Court
to-day, gold tooth and all.
Dexter Bobbitt. a well known local
crook of color, was also arrested by
Policeman Ike Rogers on suspicion of
having been an accOmplice of Rogers.
He was seen about the Seigleman store
st the time that Rogers was there.
The scheme IS thought to have been
for one to attract the clerks atten-
ton while the other lifted" the stuff.
Dexter is recognized as a dangerous
and elusive character. Re has furn-
ished the police many 2s52Ss Yes

had not lost hope Of liberty. Before
he was put in his cell, he made d
sudden break. eluded the officers and
had reached the top OF the stairs lead
ing to the street before he was cap
tured. Had a closed door not i'm
peded his progress, he might now be
at liberty.
Bobbitt's break is thus far, however.
the strongest evidence against him in
this case and unless Rogers should

Vinol VIII Cure Them.

Said Mr.. King of the w. H. King
Drug Co, This is the season for

of Raleigh people / want to tell them
the best means for a cure.
Don't dose the stomach with cough
syrups. It's no use; they only soothe
a little-upset the stomach and do not
heal at ALL
THE best cure we know is Vinol,
which contains in highly concentrate
ed form ali OF the healing, curative
elements taken from genuine fresh
Gods liVers. without drop of oil or
grease to upset the stomach and retard
it's work. 1t contains no sickening
drugs Whatever. Vinol is splendid for
a lung or bronchial cough 1t heals.
cures ana strengthens the sore lungs
and bronchial tubes. 1t makes rlCh
red blood. builds UP the appetite and
creates strength; in fact, it is the best
remedy we nave ever sold in our store
for chronic coughs, colds, bronchtuS.
and al lung affections.
Besides the large number of RAJ
eigh people who have been cured and
made we'll and strong by NinoE we re-
ceive many letters like the following:
Hon H. Mason. of Jacksonville,
Fla, writes a couple of months ago
contracted a severe cold which IT
seemed impossible to cure. 1t settled
on my lungs, Causing a HdIu CouS H.
which kept me awake nights, and soon
weakened my system SO that [ was
unable to attend to my duties. Vinol
was recommended TO me by friend
and [ began to take it as directed.
The second night | had ONLY one
coughing spell and within a week j
was not disturbed once during the
night.
Naturally my progress was fast
after this and my lungs healed rapid
", my strength returned and | gained
in flesh and health. In fact. this medi-
cine restored me to a perfect condi-
ton. and now I feel much better and
younger than l have for years. / GER
tainly think it is a wonderful remedy
to build up run down system
eve ask every person in Raleigh
who has q chronic cough or hard cold
to try Vinol on our guarantee to re-
turn their money if they are not sat
isfed.-W. H. King Drug Co.
