Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality Of the hair at it's root. Newbros
Herpfcide is the only preparation that is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan

Salaries OF Public officials.

To the Edtor-It is q pardonable
pride in the breast of any man TO wish
to be the Governor of the great state
Of North Carolina. proud to know
that the people had confidence enough
in his ability. integrity and honesty to
elect him to this high office, and proud
of the heritage of such an honor to
leave to his posterity and to feel that
those who come after him can look
back with feelings of pleasure and
pride in the knowledge that they are
the defendants of a governor of North
Carolina I say that it is pardOnable,
for any man who is worthy to be Gov
ernor to have this pride, but should
the people of the Old North State, the
garden spot of all the States, require
those whom We delight to honor, to
make too great a sacrifice for this
honor. We are not a niggardiy people,
and the salary paid to the Governor
is not enough for him to live on. The
cost Of living is great deal more
than it formally was, and the sacrifice
of the present salary makes the honor
an empty one. (See remarks.)
No one but a rich man can afford to
be Governor, and with the present SAL
airy q bill might be introduced the
caption of which might be. "A Bill

The Attempt to Bride Mast.

A lawyer friend one day intimated
to Mast that, in appreciation of his
great work, q party of rich men wish

chance to STUDY art under the worlds
masters. The friend was probably in
nocent enough-an unconscious tool
of the ring.
Mast said very little except that he
appreciated the offer and would be
delighted TO go, but for the fact that
he had important business. just then,
in New York. He fancied that he de-
tected the far, ia Mt odor of q mouse

ton this to his friend. On the follow
ing Sunday an officer of the Broad
way Bank, where the ring kept it's &C.
counts, came out TO Morristown to see
Mast. He talked of a number Of
things. Then he said: II hear you
have been made an offer TO go abroad
for art study"
YES" nodded Mast, but l can't go

you could get $TcG,9 300 for the trip
Mast pondered moment, then: do

into trouble. They own all the judges

money ard get away
Mast looked out into the street, and
perhaps wondered what 100000

you can. You can get 100000 in

Mast laughed a little. He had play

said. 81 made up my mind not long

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is I'm
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of 1t the better, It is not q
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sWeetenS the breath after
smoking. drinking or after Gazing OH
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe eathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
dislnfectS the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in 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 powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form. or rather
in the form Of large. pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges Will
soon tell In a nuch-improved condition
OF the general health and purer blood.
and the beauty OF it is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
a Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: II a6-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 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

The Influence of the Metaphysical
Poets OF the seventeenth Century.

TO the Editor: With the metaphy5i
cal poets of this century, greater stress
WAS laid on intellectual subtility and
elegance of expression than on poetical
passion and imagination. Ingenuity
seems to have been the almost con-
trolling element Shakespeare himself
was not void of this sign of the times.
Though we may criticize these poets
they gained great success in detecting
and disclosing the arts of poetry and
their influence upon our language and
thought has been great.

Metaphysical School was said by Ber
Jonson to be the first poet Of the
world in some things"

CoWley and Waller. disciples of
Dome, were also very popular and
influential in the literary world. Taine
says of Cowley he was IAN author by
profession, the oldest of those who in
England deserve the name"
The works of Pope and Dryden
show the influence of studying Waller.
And il is thought Dryden owes some
thing. too, to the study of Dcnham.
whose verses contain much purity OF
thought and beauty OF expression.

what the standard of the day demand
ed The influence of the CAV and

and sober puritan had a marked effect
on the writer's of this school. Much

Having had somewhat TO do with
putting the Reidsville bucket shop

gratitied at the following, which is
copied from a recent issue of the News

Five cent cotton, cyclones, Sher-

small things when contrasted with
the steady loss that has been in1ict-

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
n Cure For All.
Not Patent Cure-all. Nor a Modern
Miracle, But Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days Of humbuggery and

they claim that it will cure every d.
sease under the sun. And they never.
stomach troubles. They are sure to
claim that their nostrum is absolutely
certain to cure every dyspeptic and
he need look no further.
In the face Of these absurd claims 1t
is refreshing TO note that the propr e.
tors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have carefully refrained from making
any undue claims or false representa-
tons regarding the merits Of this most
excellent remedy for dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They make but
one claim for it. and that is, that for
indigestion and var Gus stomach
tlUuBles Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Is
a radical cure They go no farther
than this, and any man or woman
suffering from indigestion, chron OF
nervous dyspepsia, who VIII give the
remedy a trial will find that moth ns
is claimed for it that the facts will not
fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed
CT harmless vegetable ingredients ac-
ceptable to the weakest or most deli
cate stomach. Its great success In
curing stomach troubles is due to the
fact that the med. cinai propert es are
such that it will digest whatever
wholesome food Is taken into the
stomach, no matter whether the stom-
ach is in good working order or not
IT rests the overworked organ and
replenishes the body, the blood. the
nerves, creating healthy appetite
giving refreshing sleep and the bless
ings wh CHI always accompany good
digestion and proper assimilation OF
food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty Of wholesome food and take
these tablets at each meal, thus as
sisting and resting the stomach, which
rap dly regains it's proper digestive
power, when the Tablets will be no
longer required.
Nervous Dyspepsia is simply con-
dition in which some portion or por-
tons of the nervous system are not
properly nourished. Good digestion
invigorates the nervous system and
every organ in the body.
