HAWLEY is SICK
Gold Brick Man was
Made Sick by His
Disappointment.

1t was reported yesterday that both
Hawley and Howard, the gold brick
men at the State penitentiary, who
are serving ten year sentences, are
sick, and that Hawley is seriously
i'll. Their indisposition appears to
have been slight at first, and unworthy
of cause for alarm, but it was said
that Hawley has continually grown
worse. Their sickness was caused by
the great disappointment and shock
they received on learning the final de-
cison of Governor Glenn, in refusing
to grant them pardon, even condi-
tiOnally.
1t seems that they had been led to
believe-more than hope-that they
would be returned their freedom and
had built air castles of delight on
the thought of regaining freedom.
They are old men, sixty years of age,
and they have served only four years
of their sentence.
When the appeal was being urged
on Governor Glenn one of their
friends, from the West, came to Raj
eigh and appeared before the Cover
nor in their behalf, reciting their char
acter previous to the committal of
the crime.
1t was said that another appeal is
not likely to be made during Governor
GlennS administration.

REPRESENT SOUTH
Governor Glenn is In
vited to New Hamp-
shire. q

Governor Glenn yesterday received
a letter from the authorities of the
New Hampshire State Fair, which
was endorsed by the Governor of that
state. inviting him to address the
fair there in September. Governor
Glenn's subject was selected by the
authorities and will be, THE South
and It's Resources" ,5.......
The fame of Governor Glenn and hi ;
industrial administration have spread
over the North and West like the
words of Il new prophet of the peQ-
pie of the South, and he is constantly
receiving invitations to, address inn
portant meetings in almost every sec
ton of America. He is regarded in
the North as the Spokesman for the
South, and as an interpreter of'the re-
vised and new industrial and CONNER
cial impulses of the South.
The object of Governor Glenn s
Speech is to give the North clearer
view of the people of the South, and
to establish a better understanding
between the two sections.
The Governor is literally overrun
with invitations from towns and cit1es
in this state to deliver addresses. He
is the man of the hour. and his hour
never seems to expire. Indeed, every
day the number of these urgent in
vitations TO speak grows larger, and 1t
is impossible for the Governor to speak
at even a small fraction of the places
that seek him, and it is extremely
difficunlt for him to select the places
at which he can speak.

DEATH FROM BLOW
A Negro Had Struck
James Milton with
a Wrench.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. H. Milton, accom-
panied by their daughter, Mrs. w. M,
Tucker, and Mr. Tucker, of Wades-
boro, and grandson Master Leon Mil
ton, of Reidsville, returned from the
ga,tter lpIaEe yesterday, where they
attended the bedside, during his ILL
ness. and the funeral of Mr.. James
Hearne Milton, son of Mr.. d. II. Mil
ton. The deceased was thirty years
of age and besides his wife and one
child. "a daughter two years of age,
there survive him his mother and
father, one sister and two brothers,
Mr.. Sam G.. Milton, of this city, and
Mr.. r. H. Milton, superintendent of
the water and electric light plant at
ReidSville.
Mr. Millions death was not unex-
pected. He was suffering from a fatal
maIady, and himself had said that no
efforts could bring him back to health.
Nearly three years ago, while electri-
clan for the electric plant at Reids-
vile, a negro attempted to quarrel
with him, and struck him a terrific
blow upon his head with a heavy
monkey wrench. The negro was tried,
convicted and sentenced to nine years
on the county roads of that county.
Several physicians contended that the
death of Mr.. Milton was caused by
the fatal effects of that blow. Others
held to the theory that death came
from consumption of the bowels. Mr..
Milton had been a sufferer ever since
that unfortunate occurrence. The
first opinion is that held by the family
of the deceased as no other member
in the family has ever had consump~
ton. Mr. Milton died at $3.50 o'clock
last Monday morning. His death
found him conscious. and he died
with a bright smile on his face. He
knew all his relatives and friends
surrounding the bed upon which ne
lay. His immediate relatives had been
at his bedside constantly for nearly
three weeks, and all were with him

who wa.<at Wrightsville, attending
the encampment. He was wired to
go to Reidsville at once, when the
first symptoms of death appeared,
but he failed TO arrive there in time

The funeral was held Tuesday, the
interment taking place at Green
View cemetery, ReidSville. The floral
offerings were profuse and beautiful
and magnificent designs were sent by
the Knights of Pythias and Royal
Arcanum, and the friends of Mr.. Mil
ton. He was universally loved, and a
large number of friends grieve over
his death.

GENERAL ROBERTS AT HANOVER
Letter from General Payne of a Des-
perate Skirmish in which Gen.
Roberts played Char
aCteriStic Part.

General W. P. Roberts, the famous
Confederate Cavalry General was in
Raleigh last week attending court.
Despite the facts in his life which
make his age inevitable, although he
was the youngest officer of his rank
in the service, General Roberts was
looking well and almost young still
at this day. His hair is black, with
out a tinge of grey, and his smooth
shaved rugged face, has yet about II
a touch of boyiShness.
The daily life of the Confederate
cavalryman is wildly portrayed in an
old letter from General VIM. II. Payne
to Capt Buxton, of the Second n. e.
Cavalry, describing the attack of the
North Carolinians as a part of the
Stuart command on the town OF Han

Gettysburg advance. The experience
of the Second North Carolina is thus

MENTAL ACCURACY.
Greatly Improved by Leaving off
Coffee.

The manager of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while regular
coffee drinker. he found it injurious
TO his health and hindrance to the
performance of his business duties.
Il cannot say" he continues, that
/ ever used coffee to excess, but
know that it did me harm, especially
during the past few years.
1T impaired my digestion, gave me
a distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
died my mental faculties SO as to Sc,
riously injure my business efficiency.
Il concluded, about months ago,
that something would have to be done.
L quit the use pf the old kind of cof-
fee, short off, and began to drink
Postum Food Coffee The cook didn't
make it right at first--she didn't boil
IL long enough, and | did not find it
palatable and quit using it and went
back to the old kind of coffee and to
the stomach trouble again. Then nv
wife took the matter in hand, and bv

faithfully, she had me drinking Pos
tum for several days before l knew
it, When [ happened to remark that
| was feeling much better than | had
for long time. she told me that l
had been drinking Postum. and that
accounted for it. Now we have no
other kind of coffee on our table.
MY digestion has been perfectly
restored, and with this improvement
has come relief from the oppressive
sense of fullness and palpitation OF
the heart that used to bother me SO
and | note such a gain in mental
strngethstrength and acuteness that
can attend TO my office work with the
