The sudden death of Judge Pope
Barrow was a severe shock to me, for
in my feeble health I felt sure that he
would outlive me. Years ago, when 1
lived in Atlanta, the judge was an in
innate friend in our family. and we
had formed q warm attachment to
him that intervening years had not
diminished, and his sudden death
causes us deep sorrow. And yet, all
things considered, it seems to me that
such a death is much to be desired.
The sanity Archbishop Leighton de-
sired such a death, and at an inn, and
his prayer was granted. We should
not pray to be delivered from sudden
death, but from death unprepared.
My dear friend Barrow was prepared
to live or to die, and the sudden conf
ing of the message was a swift and
sure release from all bodily suffer-
ing and decay of mental powers. He
died with the harness on" can be said
of him as a just and fearless judge.
In all the public stations he filled; in
all the private relations of life, he was
faithful to every trust and worthy the
name of Christian gentlemen. OF him
it can truly be said:
He is not dead;
That higher, better life beyond the
tomb
Beyond the dark and coldly rolling
wave
Is his. To that bright home he's gone,
And there he lives and shall forever
live
In blissful immortality with God"

The Value of Charcoal.
Few People Know How Useful II IL
I'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; theSy
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
anges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty Of ii is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use. but on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth ana
throat; I also believe the liver is great
iv benefited by the daily use OF them:
they cost but twenty-five cents box
al drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lleve get more ana better charcoal in
stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Years Murder Record.
The annual report of Attorney Gem
eral Gunter shows that there were 222
cases of manslaughter reported to his
office during the year 1903. The rec
ord is appalling. And it is possible
that there are some homicides, which
were not reported by the clerks of
court.
Mr.. Gunter has been examining the
records of other states, and finds that
South Carolina shows UP badly. Only
linety-one homicides were reported in
North Carolina last year, and that
number was thought to be a fearful
record for the adjoining state.
