MR.. W. W. PARKER
GIVES SOME REASONS WHY HE
CONSIDERS VINOL
The Greatest Heal,h Restorer aud
Strength Creator Known
TO Medicine.

First: Because Ninol contains in a con-
centrated form all of the medicinal cura-
tive elements actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, but without drop of oil to
nauseate and upset the stomach and re-
tard its work; therefore, wherever old
fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will
do good, Ninol will do far more good
Second: Because NinOl acts first upon
the stomach, creates healthy appetite,
strengthens and tones up the digestive
organs, purifes and enriches the blood
and in a natural manner health is restored
and strength created.
Third: Because Ninol contains no in
furious drugs to react upon the system;
you know just what you are taking, as
it is printed on every bottle.
Fourth: Because we have never sold
anything in our store equal to NinOl to
restore health and create strength for
old people, weak, sickly women and chill
dren, nursing mothers, and to build up
the system after a severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking. coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis and all throat and lung
troubles
a prominent physician writes: ''NinOl
is the most palatable and valuable prep
aration of cod liver oil ever compounded.
| now use it entirely in all cases where |
formerly derended upon old fashioned cod
liver oil and emissions

He Was Not a DELEGATE.

Mr.. T. H. Crudup, of Kittrell, was
a Henderson visitor Tuesday. AS
he stepped off the train he was met
by Il member OF the Conference recep-
ton committee and asked If he had

informed that he had not the Hen

care OF one OF our worthy citizens

on a hurried business trip and could
not be the guest OF the gentleman
named, much as he would like to do
so. Explanations followed and the
laugh was on the committeeman.

is wed to humour At times they are
cold and penetrating, again they flash
till the grey is like blue fire, again they
twinkle through the glistening water Of
inner laughter. The bull neck. the enor-
nous girth, the massive head, make the
man when seated appear giant. When
he rises to speak the disappointment in
his height lasts only so long as one
avoids his eyes. 1t is in his glance that
the Bishop makes his power felt.
Socially the Bishop is one of those men
made to charm. His wit overfiows. In
repartee he is invincible In personality
congenial. easy and magnetic. Those
who criticize his conduct of meeting
are captiyateg outside the chuIch.
BishopC Gambler was elected about seven
years ago by the conference at Baltimore.
While he takes high rank as a preacher.
it is as an executive officer and more as
a man that he is unsurpassed. The con-
ference will be in strong and sure hands.
The same paper says further:
The indications are that this year,
conference will be devoted almostentirely
to the important routine work OF the
church. There are no special matters or
questions for decision, no new policies to
be tried on, no discussions to be fought
out. meeting OF the magnitude Of the
conference, however, always has to dis
pose of interesting and perplexing ques-
tiOns. These are sure to arise this year.
There is no probability that any of the
sessions will be dull.
At present it cannot be said what in
creases will be made in charges or collec-
lions. During the past year there have
been many revivals which have added
hundreds to the membership. From
present indications the class of new
preachers will number more than twelve.
The church is in-every way in good con-
dition. The membership is live and en-
thusiastic. This is shown by the sub
scriptions to church papers and by col
collections, which have increased gener-
ally.
Rev. w. L. Cunninggim is secretary
OF the Conference, a position in which
he has served faithfully and accept
ably for several years.

James H. Lassiter.

The Thomasyille Charity and Chill
dren, in referring last week to the
death of Mr.. James H. Lassiter,
publishes a picture of him and says
this:
The news of the death of this good old
man. which occurred at his home in Hen
derson last week, will be heard with re-
greet by q great host of friends through
out the State.
Mr.. Lassiter for a great many years
has been at the forefront in the business
life OF Henderson. He was an honorable
and heightened merchant who knew how
to make money honestly. He set a
worthy example to aspiring youth, too
often anxious to get rich in day. Slow
" but steadily this man built his fortune,
building character as well.
He loved his church and was perhaps
it's strongest and most devoted member.
His former pastor whom he loved most

ninety years. He was eighty-nine years
OF age.
He was closely identified with the in

| donations to Wake Forest. the University
for Women. and the Baptist Orphanage.
| The building in which Charity and Chill
| dren is printed was built by him, and he
| was devoted to the institution and gave
of his means to advance its interests from
it's establishment to the day OF his death
| For many years he was a member OF ouI

health permitted was faithful attend

NORTH CAROLINA METHODIST
CONFERENCE.

Great Gathering of rlethodists in Hem
derson this Week-rlany Promine mt
Preachers aud Lay Delegates Pres
ent-Bishop Warren A. Gambler Pre-
siding.
The annual session OF the North
Carolina Conference convened il. the
Methodist Episcopal church iii Hem
derson yesterday morning. There is
a large attendance, many prominent
preachers and lay delegates being
present. Bishop Warren A. Gambler,
of Atlanta. is presiding over the de-
| liberatiOns of the Conference.-The
there is not a finer presiding officer
over any body, especially IA body OF
Methodists. AS to the personality
and characteristics of the Bishop we
will let the News and Observer speak.
1t printed a cut of him Tuesday and
said this in connection Herewith:
Over this years Conference, consisting
OF one hundred and sixty-six heads OF
pastoral charges and over two hundred
and two clerical members, will be Bishop
W. A. Gambler, of Atlanta, Ga.
The Bishop, who has once before pre-
sided over North arolina conference.
| is a man in a hundred for the task. In
the first place he is that best OF all COM
binations for a presiding officer, an Irish
| man born to rule He is quick in his
rulings and decisions, adamant when he
has made them. Yet, he has the wit and
humor to control without irritating. He
rides the pillows of debate with a clear
head and steady hand at the rudder.
Always he guides and directs and con-
structs. Nobody can hold meeting of
MethOdists without question and Bishop
Gambler frequently arouses heat. When
the blaze is at it's height the Irish in him
comes to the surface and the fire is
quenched with a joke or a witticism that
is sharp but stingless. When the laugh
has died away the ship is sailing with a
fair wind and the Bishop is smiling at
the helm
In appearance, there is nothing of the
ascetic about the Bishop. He is short,
bulky, heavy-j awed and strong chinned.
He is only about five feet five inches high,
but he has the body and head of giant
He looks the man and the fighter. If it
were not for the broad expanse of his
strong mouth, twitching with humorous
corners and ready t. open into the wide
ness of laugh, and even more the
twinkle of his grey eyes, the face would
be almost cruel looking. AS it is, it is
merely powerful and manly, with a mag
netism all it's own. The Bishops eyes
have the changeful quality that is usual
with men in whom strength and ability
