GENEROSITY OF JUDGE GILMER.
His Kindness of Heart Caused Hin,
to Go Far to Save Woman,
Lexington Dispatch.)


An old citizen conversing recently
about lawyers. who in years past at
tended the SlttingS of Davidson court
recalled especially MesSrs. John II. Gill
mer and Hugh Waddell, who, he said
oVerSnadoWed all the rest. illustrating
GllmefS generous. sympathetic diSpO-
Sition, he told the following: A woman
had been indicted for striking another
woman i'll petty quarrel and the case
had gone UP to the court more because
of spite work than of real crime. Late
one afternoon the woman'S bondsmen.
FOR some reason, gave her up, and as IT
would be impossible to reach her case
that afternoon Jail for the night at
least. was inevitable. She sat the pic
ture of deSolation and suffering. and
Gllmer saw it, Leaning over he whis-
pering. told her to leave the court
house and run off. She thought he was
mocklng her with a proposition so alb
surd: but he insisted, saying that the
sheriff was not near. and that the
court was occupied just then so that
her escape would not be noticed She
got up and fearfully made her wav
out unnoticed. save by the solicitor
Thomas Ruffin. who was addressine
the jury and who at that moment
turned and saw her. He had on his
tongue to call attention to if WIN
Gilmer said to him, in q low voice
"Tom, you just shut your moutb

travelled with the show.
We haven't been having a very big
business in the South. because the ne
groes haven't money enough to pat
rOnize shows, and a lot of the white
people are either too high-toned or
else they are politicians and want a
pass. The managers and heads of de-
partments held a meeting to devise
some way to get both classes inter-
ested, and everybody was asked to
state their views. After they all got
through pa asked me what | thought
would be the best way to get the peo-
pie excited about the show. and l told
him there was no way except to inject
a little politics into it. 1 said if they
would give me $50 or so. to buy Chi

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
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
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is q 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
iE 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; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
fC rm or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozengers;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless anti-septics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozengers. the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozengers will
soon tell in q much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it 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 ad-
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lolengers to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; / also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense O. patent preparation, yet l be-
lieve l get more and better charcoal
in Stuarts Charcoal LOZengers than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. "
