When trouble after you doth chase
Why, turn and stare her in the face,
And smile:
And she will hurry from your sight,
A smile will fill her full of fright;
So smile.
When worry hustles after you
And dyes the world brilliant hue,
Just smile;
A grin will drive her far away,
So let your laughter muscles play,
And smile. Elk.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few Pople Know How Useful il il 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
gaSseS and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines amt
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or afater eating
onions and other odorous vegetables,
i Charcoal effectua1ly clears and ina
proves the complexion, ii WhltteliS the
teeth and further ats as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbS the injurious gases whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels II
| disinfectS the mouth and throat FROM
the poison of cataaar.
All druggists sell charcoal III 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 powder q
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiSeptics, pleasant tasting loZen5eS,
the charcoal being mixed with money.
The daily use OF these lozen"es will
soon tell in q much improved condi~
ton OF the general health Better

continued use, but on the contrary,

A Sweeping Election In
quiry is Ordered.
ADAMS Is ANSWERED
C0lofado's Supreme Court Demands
an investigation OF the Alleged
Frauds That Will Leave No
Phase OF the Election
discontinued.
(By the Associated Press.)

Denver. Colo, Dec. 30.-Stretching
every man and woman in any way
implicated in election frauds of the
city and county of Denver on or be-
fore. or after November the Supreme
Court to-day ordered an investigation
so sweeping III its scope that every
phase of the election may be scrut.n-
lzed and everything that bears in amy
way upon it may be made known by
juaiciaI inquiry.
Alya Adams, Democratic candidate
for governor who appeared from the
returns TO be elected, but who de-
clared that he does not want the Of
flee tainted With fraud. asked the
court TO open every Denver ballot box,
but the order of the court goes beyond
the mere examination of the ballots
and provides for an investigation Of
the registration lists. the campaign
expenditures and in brief. all election
matters.
Attorney Samuel W. Bedford for
Adams, and Attorney Henry j. Hersey
for the Republicans, asked the court
to make it's order of such breadth
that the court need not stop at any
thing in the investigation. The courc
and instructed the lawyers TO agree
upon the wording OF the order and
present it 10 the court for approval
next Tuesday.
AS there are 204 ballot boxes it is
evident that several months will be
consumed in the examination of their
contents by the two hanwriting eX-
perts who have been appointed for this
work. 1t is expected that the court
will be asked To make an order placing
special watchers at the court house 10
guard the registration books until such
time as the investigation is made.
f. A. Williams, chairman of the
Republican committee, has published
the following statement over his sig
nature:
Our investigation into the conduct
of the recent election managers has
developed the fact that approximately
20, 900 fraudulent votes were cast or
counted for AIva Adams in this city.
There is now no reasonable doubt that
Governor Peabody and the entire Re
publican State ticket was fairly elected
on November s by the votes of large
majority Of the legal voters of this
State
Republicans as Well as Democrats
admit that the opening Of all the
boxes complexities the political situa-
ton in dorado but believe that II
means there will be no serious trouble
as predicted.
1t was announced late to-day that
the Republican plan 10 unseat Demo
cratic Senators had been modified and
that possibly only Senators Borne mad
Healy who were seated by the Demo
cratic majority on contests two wears
ago, would be turned out.
1t also was reported that on the
advice of influential Republicans the
proposition 10 memorabilia the United
States Senate to unseat Senator Teller
would be abandoned.

1t is Believed in Elizabeth City That
Rev. Erwin West is the Victim
of q Mistake.
(Snecial to News and Observer. !

NppcSldl VI -NGNS SillN CbSti NCisJ
Elizabeth City, N. c., Dec. 3d.
Rev w. Erwin West. the Northern
Methodist minister who was arrested
here last Friday on complaint of the
United states Fidelity and Guaranty
Company of Baltimore, charged with
embeZzlement, was released on bond
yesterday as the result of habeas cor
pus proceeding instituted by Mr.. G.
f. Thompson. representing the &C.
cused.
The agents of the Baltimore COM
pany who instigated the arrest say
that Mr.. Erwin, after settling an
estate in Maryland, at which time he
was practicing law. was found TO be
short i'm his accounts about $1,000.
Mr.. West, in reply states that in
settling the estate referred TO he had
paid over all the money with the ex-
ception of about two or three hum
dred dollars and had given the re-
ceipts TO his wife for safe keeping.
The balance of the money due in the
settlement was in the bank ready 20
be paid on demand. Mrs. West has
gone to Maryland to get the receipts
and TO straighten out the matter, and
it is probable that it will not come
up in the courts at all.
The affair is deeply regretted and
the general impression prevails tnat
a mistake has been made and Mr..
West has done no wrong. The pro
ceedings will be heard here next Wed
nesday morning. Meanwhile he Is out
under a bond of four hundred dollars.
