The death OF Senator Hanna makes
necessary the selection of a new chair
man FOR the national committee. VINO
will in that position direct the campaign
for Mr.. RCOseyelt's election. There IS
some doubt whether Senator Harna.
had he lived. would have consented TO
serve il the capacity of chairman OF
the national committee for another
term. and the question OF his successor
was frequently discussed.
The presence of ex-Gov. w. Murray
Crane IN Washington last week has
given rise to the speculation that he
may have come here for the purpose OF
conferrIng with the President upon the
subject OF the coming campaign. Last
summer there was much talk of the pos
sibility f the former governor OF Mas
sachusetts as chairman of the national
committee, but the matter was held n
allegiance pending q decision by Sen
ator Hanna. whether or not he would
be willing TO serve longer in that ca
pacity.
Now Il is absolutely necessary to sc
Iect some one to hn his place. Post
master General Pay1e. as the wee
chairman OF the committee, VIII con
tsnue % serve as acting chairman until
that body meets in Chicago a week or
ten DAYS before the national conven-
ton assemblies. Between now and that
time there will be no necessity for Sc
Letting a chairman. and. in fact un-
less specially called, there will be no
meeting Of the committee before the
middle of June.

expired term will be selected with Il

committee is organized. following the
national convention. The members OF

". D. KINGS TRIAL
Began Yesterday Before
Comm Nichols ---Charge
Fraud by Mail.

United States Commissioner John
Nichols yesterday began the trial OIL
w. D. King, the Martin street fish
dealer who is under a charge of using
the mails to defraud.
The charge against King is that
he wrote letters and ordered goods
from various parties under the name
of M. H. HOpson q Company. FOR
which he failed to pay, the allegation
being that no such firm existed and
that the purchase of the goods there
fore falls under the United States
statutes.
The instances upon which the gov
eminent relies are purchases of goods
which were made from parties in
Siler City and Pine Level. 1t is said
that M. II. HopSon made a statement
in the presence of Postmaster c. T..
Bailey and other parties to the effect
that no partnership existed between
himself and King, but HOpSon has
not yet been put on the stand.
Only two witnesses were examined
yesterday, they being one cooper, from
Siler City, and one Worling, from Pine
Level. Their evidence related entirely
to the purchase of goods and the sign
ing of the name of Hopson IL Co., to
the letters making the order.
1t is understood that in his defense
King will set up that partnership
existed between himself and the man
Hopson, at least that there was a
constructive partnership-tha the
letters were written with Hopson's
consent under an agreement that the
latter was to bear half the expense of
the goods purchased and get half the
profits of their resale by King.
The case will be taken up again by
Commissioner Nichols this morning.

LONE BABY BURNED
Ada Pulley Leaves Her
infant, Finds it Dead
on Floor.

Ada Pulley, a NEGRO woman. who
lives on South East street and is en-
ployed as a cook in a nearby restau-
rant. left her house about ten o'clock
on Sunday night to go to her work.
returning home an hour later. On the
bed asleep, when she left, was heF
two-year-old baby Minnie. When the
mother returned and opened the door
she found the child lying dead on the
floor its clothes burned from It's PACK,
and its body literally cooked with hre.
an overturned lamp which had been
burning on the bureau in the room
being the only evidence of how the
death occurred.
Ed. Cooper and Isaac O'kelly, col
ored hack drivers who are friends of
the mother notified her friends ana
had the body prepared for burial.
The certificate of death gives simply
accident as the cause of death and
the burial permit was issued designat-
ing Mt Hope Cemetery South of the
city where the interment took place
at O'Clock Yesterday afternoon.
1t is supposed that the child got out
of bed, went to the bureau and pulled
over the lamp, trying after her clothes
had caught on fire to get out of the
room. The position of the body when
found indicates this hypothesis, al
though the details can never be known.

THE BUILDING OF SHIPS.

at Newport News.
CBv the Associated Press. }

Newport News, Va, Nov. 19.-The
subcommittee of the National Mer-
chant Marine Commission was In SEES
sion here today. Senator Thomas >.
Martin presided. Superintendent w.
A. Post, of the Newport News Ship
building Company appeared before the
committee. Replying to questions put
by the members of the body, Mr..
Post said $500 men were on the pay
rolls at the present time, and that
the pay roll amounted to from $65,-
600 to 100000. The variation was due
to overtime work. The chairman
asked that if favorable legislation was
enacted at the end of twelve months
how many ships could be turned out
here annually. Mr.. Post said ten
ships of 1000 tons capacity. They
could deliver three the first year and
one month thereafter. He said
this year should employ 10000 as
there were facilities for this number.
He said that all of the ship yards in
the country could turn out from six
to seventy ships the first year, and as
the new men that ould have to be
taken on became experienced this
number would be almost double.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES.
For the Human Body III Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring anu fall.
1t was the universal spring and fan
blood purifier" tonic and cure-alI.
and mind you, this fashioned rem
edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatahle, and a
large quantity had TO De taken TO get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form. SO that IL single grain
is far more effective than a table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and eXper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtain
ed from Calcium Calcium SulThidcl
and sold in drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily ViSor and
health sulphur acts directly on the
liver, ard eXcretory organs and puri-
lies and enricheS the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grardmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and. purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient ana
physician alike.
Dr. r. NJ. Wilkins while expert
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found. that the sulphur from Calcium
was superior to any other form. He
says: For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
fl ON constipation or malaria, l have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuart's Calcium Waters In pa
TENTS suffering from boils and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles,
have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is q pruprie-
tary article, and sold by druggists, and
fer that reason taboo ed by many ply
sicians, yet / know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin disease as this remedy.
At amy rate people who are tired Of
pills, cathartiCs and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuart's Cal
CUM Waters, a far safer, more paiat-
able and effective preparation.

FIRE ALARM ETENDS.

Fiends-EXtreme Penalty Will be

There is apparently abroad in the
city some deluded species of Joker
effected with mania of turn .ng in
false fire alarms, usually in the early

prank is practiced and the occurrence
has become to be a nuisance to the de-
partment of late, three such alarms
having been turned in in as many
weeks.
The police department are now on
the lookout and the first one caught in
"at the game will be made ali ex-
ample of by Mayor Powell.
The penalty for this snealling prac-
tice is a fine of $50. or thirty days IN
jail or on the road, and Mayor Powell
emphatically says that he will hear
no prayer for mercy from anyone
found guilty of turning in false fire
alarms.

Nothing Crooked About 1t.

Referring to the failure of the
Bank of Milton, the Reidsville Review
says
'tWe learn with pleasure that there
is no indication whatever of anything
crooked in the affairs as bringing
about the failure, but the embarrass-
ment is due entirely to having on
hand great quantity of past due pa
pers, backed by insufficient securities
In other words, that there was a 100
free hand in the making of loans and
not enough scrutiny into the security
that was offered by customers in APP
plying for the loans.'
