TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful il is i'm
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
Goa, is the safest and most efficient
disnfectant 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. it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestineS and car
ries 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, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; 1t
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 Charcoal LoZengeS; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form. or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
loZenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honc,.
The daily use or these lozenges will
soon tell in a much-improVed condition
of the general health and purer blood.
and the beauty of it is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary. great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF

PiteOuS Story Of The Drowning OF q

lSnecial to News and Observer. }


Durham, y. c., Feb. 22.-Henry
Harris, sub-carrier on rural route No.
l out from Bahama, in the northern
part of this county, had thrilling
experience and narrow escape from
drowning on Monday. The rains of
that morning and the night before, to-
gether with melting snow and ice
swelled small streams to torrents. 1t
was in what is usually small branch
that he had his experience that Will
last him for life.
Mr.. Harris says that he thought
he could get across the stream with
out difficulty and drove into the wa
ter. I'm almost q moment his buggy
went over and he was caught under
the top. In some manner, he says he
managed to get from beneath it. Then
he saw that his horse was in great
danger of drowning and set about TO
save him. The buggy's turning over
twisted the horse to one side and thus
was the cause of the horse drowning.
Mr.. Harris remained in the water as
long as he could, trying to save the
animal.
Finally he was compelled to
abandon his efforts. Just as he
reached the bank and was trying to
drag himself up the hill the horse,
then drowning, raised his head from

who was leaving him. This was more
than Harris could stand, and he Went
back into the waters to make final
effort to get the horse. This last a.
tempt however, was of no avail, and
the animal was drowned.
Since the frightful experience Mr..
Harris has been confined To his room
most of his time, but is suffering only
from q cold.

THE STATION BLOCKED.
Widening Of the Approaches Halted by
Fight With Property Owners.
Especial to News and Observer


Durham, n. c., Feb 22--The wild
ening of Church street, the approach
to the new union railroad station. is
rot to be opened without trouble. The
first step towards condemning the
property We're taken this morning.
At the hearing the attorneys for the
property owners filed a demurrer to
the pleadings filed by the city, saying:
first that the city has made no eff
fort to come to an agreement to pur-
chase the property from the heirs, and
second. that the purposes for which
it is to be condemned are not sufficient
ly set forth in the pleadings. The
property is owned by Mrs Matte II.
Hobgood, now of Florida and is in the
hands of t. j. and r. III. Riggsbee, eX-
ecutors.
1t is learned that the next move of
the owners will be to ask for an in
junction. At the hearing Saturday
there is not much doubt that the
judges to name the value of the prop
erty will be appointed. Everything
will be in readiness and the attorneys
will ask for a restraining order to pre-
vent the city taking charge of the
property. If this amounts to nothing,
then the city can go ahead and take
the property, but there will be long
drawn out litigation that may be some
time in settling.
I'm the meantime the handsome new
station. viii is ready to open, is
blocked off conditions that make il

SECURING DESIRABLE
FLORIDA SETTLERS
Jas. .. Christie Advocates Combined Effort
in Few States Rather than Working
Without System.

Since becoming a member of the
Jacksonville Board Of Trade and be-
ing assigned to the committee on i'm
migration, Mr.. Joseph d. Christie,
who has been remarkably successful
as a business agent, has devoted con-
siderable time to securing settlers for
Florida, says the Jacksonville Times
Union.
While others have been sending lit
erature broadcast over the country,
with a view of catching prospective
settlers in different localities, Mr..
Christie has confined himself to GER
tain limited territory, such as Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan. His reasons
for this are very clearly set forth in
the following statement made by him
yesterday.
The eyes Of the people of the state
OF Florida have lately been open TO
the fact that they can have located
among them the most desirable class
of immigrants by the making of an

There has been and is now great
movement all over this state to Sc
cure desirable settlers, and immeasur-
able good has been done to the state
by the advert isements of the different
towns, Boards of Trade and individ-

scattered broadcast over the country,
and no concerted effort has been made
to reach the people of any one ter
ritory or district. and to induce them
to come to Florida in bodies and set
tie in one community.
1T is an accepted fact that in unity
there is strength, and what better
unity can We ask for than to have ten
families from one county come to
Florida and settle in the same dis
trict, for while 1t is acknowledged that
the people of our own Florida are
among the most hospitable in the
United States. still people feel more
at home where there are a few other
settlers from their own district. An
average of so per cent of the immi-

after the first season, for they come
here with the idea that as soon as
they had crossed tne Florida line that
their fortunes are made, and should
their first crop turn out to be fail
ure they have no one to encourage
them, and feel that to stay in Florida
would only be a succession of failures:
therefore, they leave before they have
really learned to farm in the Florida
way.
Such is not the case where there
are community of settlers from one
district, as they act as an encourage
ment to each other, and when one
man sees another from his home sec
ton make a success, it spurs him on
to greater effort, as he feels That it is
only a question of a few seasons when
he, too, can have a good farm.
Therefore, l am in favor of max
ing a concerted effort in a few states
at a time to secure immigrants of d
high class, and to give them every
encouragement in our power when
they come among us. To better OBJ
tain the desired results, believe that
we need state bureau of immigra-

fort, which can only come when back
