HIS WORK A TRIBUTE TO HIM.

The T. P. A. of North Carolina, or
if there are any unintiated as to the
L. P. A., then the Travellers Protective
Association, an organization composed
of the stirring travelling men of the
State, have had a most faithful and
energetic State Secretary in Mr.. Bur-
rell H. Marsh, of Winston, and 1t Il
proper at this time of his resignation
to say as much.
The ability of Mr.. Marsh who has
been the factor in working up the
membership of the order in the State
is shown i'm the results of his six years
of service. When he became the Sec
rotary there were 50 members OF the
order in the State. Now there are 433,
and there is this year surplus of over
$500 i'm the treasury. "By their fruits
We shall know them,' applies in this
case.
Mr.. Marsh's increasing duties as a
travelling man have. caused him to re-
sign his position. In doing SO he mott
fled the National organization, and he
following extract from the reply to his
letter of notification of his resignation,
this from the National Secretary,
shows the esteem in which he is held,
that officer saying: II regret exceed
fngIy that you found it necessary 20
take this step, but presume with
your other duties it is impossible 70
give your attention to this work. l
desire to compliment you upon your
work as State Secretary, and thank
you for the promptness with which
you handled the business of your Of
flee. Trust your successor will take
the same interest in the work that
you have and that North Carolina Ii
vision will continue to grow"
Mr.. Marsh is succeeded by Mr.. p. T.
Wilson, of Winston, as State Secretary,
and the energy of Mr.. Wilson is such
as to warrant the feeling that under
his administration of the office the
splendid order Of travelling men III
North Carolina, composed of some Of
the very best men in the State, will
continue to grow and to flourish, for it
is a benefit to the whole State, as has
been shown by the deeds in the past.

against the Chinese boycott of Alneri-

make an suggestions that losses have

instances transportation companies
have said that there has been a fall

indicating the progress of the boycott
have been received at the department
and it is not believed this. there is any
progress OF the boycott outside of

One instance of an attempt to in
suit the American flag was reported
from Annoy This happened a month
ago, but the governor of the province
promptly made amends and ordered
all attempts at d demonstration direct
ed toward Americans to cease. The

they have been prompt and efficient in
the protection of American interests.

NOTE OF WARNING.
But One Kelley Institute
in North Carolina.
Claims That There are in the State
Any Cure the Same as the Kelley
Double Chloride Cure Declared
TO be False and Malicious.
To the Public:

| To the Public:
The Kelley Cure has now been in
successful operation for twenty-five
consecutive years and the merits and
reputation of the DR.. Leslie e. Kelley
Remedies have been thoroughly es-
tablished. Because of this fact, many
imitatorS are seeking to turn this
knowledge to their own advantage by
falsely claiming that they are able to
sell and administer our remedies ana
treatment 1t should be borne in mind
that the Kelley Remedies are only to
be obtained at establishments known
by the uniform name of The Kelley
Institute. There are one or more of
these establishments in nearly every
State in the Union besides several in
foreign countries. There is only one
Kelley Institute in the State of North
Carolina, and that is located at
Greensboro. At all Kelley Institutes
the remedies used are procured from
our laboratory and in all cases they
are administered by physicians who
have been especially instructed by US.
1t follows therefore, that all other
establishments claiming to be able to
sell our remedies and administer our
treatment are obtaining money under
false pretences and will be dealt with
accordingly. The public are warned
that under no circumstances can
Kelley remedies or treatment be OBJ
tanned except at authorized Kelley In
stitutes.
These imitators sometimes adopt
similar names to those by which our
remedies are known, but if patients
will take pains to see that they are
in an authorized Kelley Institute,
they need not fear imposition. The
Kelley remedies will cure inebriety,
all Kinds of drug using, the tobacco
habit and neurasthenia; they are
never administered in hospitals, and
no patients are treated at Kelley In
stitutes for other than the above
named diseases.
THE LESLIE e. KELLEY CO.,
Dwight, Illinois.
The Kelley Institute at Greensboro,
n. c., is the only one in this State,
and all representations that there is
in the State any cure that is identical
with Or the same as the Kelley
Double Chloride of Gold Cure, are ma
licious, false, and made for the pur-
pose of deceiving. We learn with in
dignant regret that such claim is be-
ing made, and feeling that if it be
hurtful to us it will prove even more
disastrous to those who are deceived
thereby, we sound this note of warn
ing.

LORD CURZON AND HIS Sue
CESSOR.

By reason of the fact that his wife
the Vicerene, was an American CIR,
! the people of the United States are
generally regretful that Lord Curzor
| should have deemed it necessary &c
| resign as Viceroy Of India on account
of difficulties arising over the anita
gonism between himself and Lord
Kitchener. Not that the American
people dearly love an Earl" but that
it seemed so in accordance with the
eternal illnesses that the uncroWneC
queen of the Empire should have come
from the ranks of the American girl
Treated as queen at home, when she
goes across the waters it is proper
that she should still exercise her SOW
ereignty. For the reason of his taste
in women Lord Curzon was very popu-
lar as Viceroy in the United States.
1t now appears, however, that he
has another claim to the sympathy OF
Americans. engaged in political
war to the death with that stern man
and military hero, Lord Kitchener, the
Viceroy was compelled to conduct his
campaign from a bed of sickness and
pain. That he gave up in the end was
due doubtless as much to the advice
of his physician as to the loss of pres
tige and advantage. A surrender is
not popular on this side, and the
bravery of the ruler of India is con-
tinuing the struggle as long as he was
physically able makes an additional
appeal.
In the meantime, the iron hand Of
Kitchener is on India, as for years it
was on Egypt and the Soudan. Kitch-
ener is a distinct revulsion to type of
big men who have grown scarcer with
the years. He has achieved almost
solely by an memorable will which
stopped neither at cruelty nor even
barbarity. He organized his plans and
then accomplished them regardless of
friend and foe alike. He is no respec-
ter of persons. no believer in diplo-
macy, a law unto himself. Yet with
all this he has the gift of silence and
the churlish egotism of force. The
masterful spirit of which Kipllng
sings has its physical exemplification
in Kitchener.
With such a man at the helm of the
affairs of England's great empire. his
tory may prepare to tip-toe. Events
are in the making Kitchener is a
fighter, and, in so far as he believes
implicitly in his ability to do, he IS
ambitious The far East may yet be
the center of the world interest in the
not distant future even if Russia and
Japan shall come to terms.

SPRING CLEANING FOR THE
SULUS?

Count on Miss Alice Roosevelt. 1t il
cold day when she cannot score with
the Associated Press. Just now the
information is that she has been offer
ed the hand of the Sultan of Sulu in
marriage, with the information that
he would make her Sultana in Chief
of the Acknowledgement the Associat-
ed Press leaves US in suspense. There
is not an intimation of Miss Alice's re-
ply. We await further communities
tions with breathless interest. Is il
possible that the matter has been re-
ferred to the Presidential papa for de-
cision? Is Miss Alice to discard her
thoroughbred for an elephant when
she goes shopping? This is an inter-
national episode-right!
Seriously, the Sultan of Sulu would
be a great catch. He has authority
and position without responsibility
numerous doting wives, hun.
dred thousand dollar salary from
Uncle Sam. The Sultan is well fixed,
and there is but one hypothesis on
which to base his offer. He must be
terribly in love. Think of what he
risks, and what he offers. Literally il
is my kingom and my life. For years
the Sultan has led a peaceful and ca
ing to the custom of the East, have
been sweetly submissive to the august
pleasure and the royal whims of their
lord and master. Suppose Miss Alice
should take charge of the head of that
household? The Bristow investiga-
ton would not be a circumstance to
her activities. Everybody would have
to wash. Lazy wives, lolling and gos-
siping on the soft and dusty silks of
the harem divans would be put to
work. Opium would be abolished.
Trial by jury would thwart many a
royal revenge. strengthening in
the palace woui. come about every
month The Sultan could not call his
life his own. Breakfast would be
served at half-after eight sharp. Pa
jamas would be. banished to the bed
rooms. Sanitation would become a
fad and the Sultan would lose his
mind.
Really the list of things that would
happen to the Sultan of Sulu in case
Miss Alice accepted are legion. He
could not possibly survive the shock.
In a few years he would relinquish his
throne, his harem, his Sultana, and,
slipping on his one remaining pair OF
faded pink pajamas, would summon
his long deposed prime minister,
board his last obsolete catamaran and
stink away to some barren island
where he might again relinquish the
strenuous life. Experienced as he is
in the peculiar ideas of Americans, 1t
is evident that the Sultan's proposal
is that both of a lover and brave
man. Equally evident it is that he
does not know his Roosevelt.

NO REMEDY FOR SHELTERS.

Although all the fevers, with one
or two exceptions which man is heir
to have been traced to one or another
sort of mosquito, the remedy for the
insect itself seems as, far as ever from
discovery. OF course such immense
breeding places as the deadly Roman
marshes may be largely done away
with, but it takes but puddle to raise
enough mosquitoes to kill a regiment
Then, too, the sort that sings and gives
warning is the least harmful. 1t is
the silent, business like chap who does
the damage. Nets serve but to give
the 'skeeter a hiding place during the
day, and a galinipper can puncture
an army blanket. The only remedy
seems to be the old fashioned plate
armor and that would be hot dress
for summer and chilly for winter
wear Let everybody develop a quick
sense Of touch, a lightning and ac-
curate slap and set their minds on de-
