A Record LlIstrous.
Salisbury Sun.

Salisbury sun.
1t IS just such document as
might have been expected from the re-
firing executive. When Charles b.
Aycock retires from office next Tues
day he will return to private life with
the consciousness of having served his
people with fidelity and ability. The
four years just ended have been no.
table in the history of North Carolina.
When Governor Aycock was inaugu-
rated he was confronted by conditions
that called for the exercise of wisdom,
courage and conservatism. The COM
monwealth had been impoverished by
four years of Republicans opulist ex-
traVagance and corruption; our public
institutions had in some instances been
neglected and others debauched by
dishonest officials; race feeling still
ran high and political bitterness had
estranged neighbors. Going about the
task of remedying these conditions
he, with others to whose hearts the
reputation and well being of the state
are dear, turned from politics and
preached education and the develop
ment of our resources. How well he
has succeeded is known of all men,
Today peace reignS, our school houses
are crowded, our institutions free
from debt, good balance in the treas
ury and our natural wealth being de-
velooed.

for satisfaction that to his State and
posterity he leaves a record so

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 it's value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is g 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 and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorouS vegetables.
Charcoal effectua1iy clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whittens the
teeth and further acts as 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
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 d
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics, pleasant tasting lo2enges,
the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The, daily use olzthese Licences will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better
complexion, sweeter breatl. and purer
blood apG the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,

A Buffalo physician sreolxiug of
the benefits of charcoal says: Il adj
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
ocmI lexion and pJrify the breath,
mouth and throat; [ also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty

NO STEP BACKWARD.

The people of North Carolina will
not approve any backward step in
temperance legislation, such as has al
ready been proposed in the Legisla-
ture. as for the example the bill to re-
peal the anti-jng law. The continual
ton of that law is necessary to give
effect to prohibition where it has been
voted by the people.
Elsewhere we print a sensible COM
munica ton from Mr.. s. Bryant, presi-
dent of Randleman Manufacturing
Company. He voices the best senti-
ment of the industrial forces in North
Carolina. The wisest mill owners and
mill operatives and foremen are
agreed that the Watts Law has been
a blessing. 1t ought to be strengthen
ell instead of weakened. instead of
repeating the anti-jug law, provision
should be made for better enforce
ment.
The concluding sentence of Mr..
Bryant's communication points the
way of Democratic opportunity and
the continued progress of the pest m
terests of the State: THE Aycock
Educational movement continued and
the Watts law perpetdateti, and per-
haps improved upon and enlarged are
Tie things Of which the people viii
