Four Counties.
Especial to News and Observer

Durham, N. c., Jan. 15-At a night
session of the Superior court, which lasted
until well into last night, Judge Charles
M. Cooke, who presided over court here
this week, decided that Chapter $40 of the
new laws-the anti-jug law-apphed only
te the counties named in the caption of
the act-Cleveland, Cabarrus, Mitchell
and CASTOR counties.
The matters that caused this decision
were two cases against John G. Patterson.
OF RoXboro, who was arrested and car
RED before the court under the charge Of
selling whiskey in Durham since proh BIZ
ton was declared. The State contended
that Chapter $40 made the place of de-
livery the place of sale in prohibition and
dispensary territory. When the matter
was called an agreed verdict was rendered
by the jury, Mr.. Patterson having admit
ted the facts IN the case. The question
OF construction of law was then taken
UP before the court and after much argyll
ment the court decided that the act did
not apply to the State at large and that

In several instances in the State
notably before Justice Barbee, al Wake

the justices decided that the law applied
to the entire State and in both these
cases the defendants were sent over to
court After the decision of Judge Cooke
last night the State gave notice of APP
peal to the Supreme Court, this being
for the purpose of getting the highest
authority in the State to say whether or
not the law applies to the four counties
named or whether it is general in its
application
Another decision of Importance to the
Durham people was rendered last nignl
by Judge Cooke. w Mangum, Jr., was
before the court on the charge OF selling
beer without license. This was also a
question of law. Mr.. Mangum had license
from the State, county and city govern

contendod that he secured the State and
county license after the election last fai
and that he was selling beer in violation

he was in debt. Gwaltney had left Raj

A bill of sale to the Spartanburg parties
had been recorded. Gwaltney is said to

After Sickness.
HOW TO REGAIN STRENGTH
The W. H. King Drug Company Give
Some Suggestions--We vouch
For Their Sincerity.

During the past few months there has
been a great deal of sickness of one KIND
and another in Raleigh, largely induced
by the recent unreasonable weather
In speaking of this to Mr.. King, OF
the w. Fl. King Drug Co., the cther uay'
he said: Eyes, there has been, and Is,
lot of sickness in the city, and while most
people get over the acute stage rather
quickly, it leaves the blood impoverished,
and it is hard to regain lost vitality. The
PATIENTS strength is depleted, the sys>
tenn generally demoralized and relapses
are continually feared.
"The one thing to aid recovery is to
give the patient a blood building and
strength restoring tonic, one that Will
give strength to every organ in the body
''Now, truthfully," continued Mr. King
II don't believe there is another remedy
in the country equal to our delicious cod
liver oil preparation, Vinol, for making
rich red blood, and building UP strength
say this from an intimate knowledge of
almost every medicine on the market, and
after duly considering what Vinol is, and
has done.
"Vinol contains every one of the body
building, medicinal elements of cod liver
oil, without one drop of oil to retard its
work, and this with organic iron, which
is needful constituent for the blood, dis
solved in delicious table wine, makes
Vrnol 1t acts directly on the stomach,
creates healthy appetite. and enables
the digestive organs to obtain the neces-
sary clements to make rich. red blood,
healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and Gre
ate strength, and you know what you are
| taking"
| Said Mr. King" such letters as this
prove the value of vinol after sickness:
| Mr.. Edgar A. Howe, of Concord, N. H.,
writes that after being confined to his bed
for thirteen weeks with the grippe he was
weak and emaciated, all tonics seemed OF
no avail. but Vinol restored, in a marvel
lous manner, his strength, flesh and ap-
petite.
Mrs. c. H. Wardwell, of Lynn, Mass,
writes that the measles left her little
daughter with a cough and in a very
bad condition, but Vinol cured the cough
and made her well.
Mr.. John Emerson, of Bangor, Ne.
writes that after grippe, at seventy years
of age, Vinol built up his strength and
gave him new life.
Mr.. James Stuart, of Pittsburg, Pa.
writes that after a severe fever he was
weak and emaciated, but Vinol built hin
up. made him strong and well.
Il might go on quoting from hundred;
of such letters" continued Mr.. King
''You see no one need take our word fol
what Vinol will do. and it is because o.
such proof that we solemnly agree that il
it does no good where it is recommended
that it shall not cost a penny. That
fair, isn't it ?" w. II. King Drug Co.
