Another event of the occasion was

so well known as a hOrticulturiSt, who
made a very practical address upon
the subject on which he is SO we'll in
formed. There were brief talks ear
lier in the day by Mr. Festus Morgan,

caSion that in spite of his weakness
! he spoke three-quarters of an hour
| His theme was The object or the
| Junior Order and Its Relation to the
Best Interests of the Public.
At the conclusion OF the address
| Mr.. Lacy was given an Informal re-
| ception and then refreshments were

present and the affair was thoroughly

A PHYSICAL WRECK
The Story Told by Mr.. J.
W. Pepper.
In a Letter to Friend He Gives an
Experience Which Many May
Read with Profit to
Themselves.

81 was addicted to the Whiskey habit
for twenty years or more, and had
become almost a physical wreck when
[ made up my mind to take the treat
ment. After deciding that there Was
no other hope for me, the question
then arose as to where / should go
for treatment, and on account Of tie
delightful location of the Institute
in Greensboro, N. c., | decided TO go
there, and have never had any reason
to regret it, as l found the buildings
and grounds all that | could wish for,
and the officers, doctor and attend
ants kind, courteous gentlemen, who
did all in their power to make my
stay pleasant and beneficial to me. Of
course the treatment at all institutions
is the same, and / would not say 4
word to detraCt from your home in
shtution, but If you can make up your
mind to take the treatment taud
certainly hope you cam l would GER
tainly advise you to go to Greensboro
for treatment for several reasons, and
then you will be separated from your
old associates at the time you are
taking the treatment. which you viii
find advantageous in getting new
start in life. for it is nothing else
but new start for man like you
or myself to take the Kelley Treat
ment 1t will not perform any miracle
in your case or any one else, but II
will certainly eradicate the taste for
alcoholic liquors and put you where
you were before you ever drank
Then it is up to you to keep sober
or go back to drinking. as you please
For myself, l can truthfully say that
from the time ! left the Institute until
the present | have never had the
! slightest desire for a drink; but, II
the thirst for liquor should return tc
me at any time, [ would not lose a
day in going -~3k to Greensboro and
! taking treatment again, and / have
had more satisfaction il living the last
J two years than / had III the previous
| twenty. In conclusion let me beg OF
you to lose no time in making up your
mind to take the treatment and sc
to Greensboro at once. If you con
clude to go let me know, and / viii
write to some friends / have there to
call on you and make your stay as
| pleasant as possible.

The old Coffee Troubles Left When lie

''Since quitting coffee / am hearty

ery day and feel stronger and better

Il am a mechanic and have been
a great lover of coffee and used it
all my life until few months ago

in my back.
Something had to be done, and l

He FELL FIFTY FEET
Workman's Body Terribly
Broken alta. & M. College.
]. H. Camden Young White Man Sus.
tains Fracture of Arms and Leg as
ScaffoIding Gives Way and He
Drops to the Ground.

Sheer down fifty to fifty-siX feet fell
the body of a man from the top of the
a. e NJ. College agricultural building
yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock.
The fall was a terrific one, and it is
wonderful that the man lived.
The victim of this terrible accident
is j. Howard Camden, a white man
about % years old, whose father lives
about six miles from Richmond, Va,
and who was a workman on the build :
ing. He was on the scaffolding about
the building, which is being erected,
and this gave way dropping him TO
the ground below, which he met with
fearful force.
The first physician on the spot was
Dr. P. H. Williams, colored. who rem
dered assistance. DR.. A. Il. Cotton next
arriving. A conveyance was obtained
and the badly injured man was taken
to Rex Hospital, where many physl-
clans were soon in attendance.
An examination showed that besides
probable internal injuries and injuries
to the back, both, arms and one leg are
fractured. The ( left elbow is badly
broken, the bones being in fragments.
the injuries being SO severe that he
will probably never be able to bend his
elbow again. There is a fracture OF
the right wrist and the bones in the
right foot are broken. The physicians
are not yet able to say what are the
extent of the internal injuries.
AT Rex Hospital the man was put
under the influence of ether and the
broken limbs set with care. Late last
night he was seemingly doing very well
and the physicians said that despite
me terrible fall, the man had a chance
To recover.

THINGS nRE CHAOTIC.
n WElw re. --
sldermanic COmulIJte STU at NOfk
on the For Saloons Petition.

There is no telling when we Will be
able to arrive at conclusion is the
statement made yesterday afternoon
by members of the committee of the
Board of Aldermen now investigating
the petition For Saloons.
Yesterday afternoon the registrars
of Raleigh met with the committee
and went over the registration books
to see. IS to the names that should
come OH. 1t is said that about $50 of
these were found and that these VIII
not be included in the count. The
actual number of names on the books
IL not known. the estimates varying a;
from $50 to 1850, while for the pc
TONERS For Saloons it has been stat
ed to be 1,723.
In taking names off the registration
books some of the names on the petit
ton will also be necessarily dropped.
The names to com off are of those dead
before the last municipal election, as
we'll as names that appeared more
than once on the books, this caused by
q change of residence. The For Sa-
looms petitioners say that about 545
names of the $50 to 1000 on their lists
nave proven good, but these figures
may be changed in the final results.
There are some legal points to be
Investigated, and City Attorney Snow
is looking into these, as are also a
NUMBER OF OIIleG dttOIHCSS' men q
decision as to the legality of certain
names is reached, the registration
books checked up and counted, the pc
tition further examined for Illegal
names, then an exact statement is to
be expected. AT present the whole al
fair is in chaotic condition and there
is only a guessing at the result, 1t be-
ing certain, however, that IL there is
an election held it Will be simply by a
very close shave.
