This Company, which is charter
ed under the laws of Virginia, is
a well known and perfectly relia-
bic one.
Any landowners in Clarke coun-
ty who are interested in selling
their orc can make very liberal
terms with the Company.
1t is to be hoped that there will
be no delay in looking into the ore
prospects in the County, as it is a
valuable possession, and the land
owners will profit from its sale.
1t has been contended 10y num-
Der of citizens of the County, for
several years, that there was iron
ore in quantity in the County, and
that it only waited development to
make its owners men of more than
means.
The time is here to see this
wealth developed, and the owners
will do well to take the necessary
steps To receive 4 price for it.

PRESSED TO DEATH.
Fearful runishment That Obtained
Under OLD English Law.


Under the old English law II n pris-

TO determine whether his condet came
from obstinacy or from n natural inn
pediment. According to Blackstone. II
the prisoner was found 10 be obsti-
nately mute aud the indictment was
for high treason Il was settled that
his silence was equivalent to convic-
ton and that Judgment and execution
should follow. This same rule applied
TO petit larceny and misdemeanors. but
upon appeal or Indictments for other
felonies or petit treason, according TO
the ancient law, the prisoner was not
deemed convicted; but. because OF his
obstinacy. he received the terrible
sentence OF penance or peine" and was
pressed 10 death.
Blackstone thus describes this pun
ishment: THAT the prisoner he re-
handed to the prison from whence he
came and put In low. dark chamber
and there be laid on his back on the
bare floor, naked unless decency for
bids; that there be placed upon his
body as great weight OF iron as he
could bear and more: that he should
have no sustenance, save only on the
first day three morsels OF the worst
bread. and on the second day three
drafts OF standing water that should
be nearest the prison door, and In this
situation this should be alternately

During the trials for wltchcraft in
New England a respectable citizen be
ing so accused, knowing that by rea-
son OF the excitement OF the times a
plea OF not guilty and trial would re-
suit in conviction with confiscation
or property. and the same Judgment
would follow a plea OF guilty, refused
TO plead. thereby preventing a convlc-
ton and enabling his family TO retain
his property. The court ordered that
he be pressed because OF his ObStinacy.
The order was carried out and the

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems TO
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
