The Only ODenino.

The story is told of two Trenton men
according to the Philadelphia Record
who hired horse and trap for little
outing not long ago. Upon reaching
their destination the horse was M
harnessed and permitted to Craze peace
fully while the men fished for an hour
or two.
When they were ready to go home,
a difficulty at once presented itself, in
asmuch as neither of the Trentonians
knew how to reharness the horse.
Every effort in this direction met with
dire failure, and the worst problem was
properly to adjust the bit. The horse
himself seemed to resent the idea Of
going into harness again.
Finally one of the friends in great
disgust sat down in the road. "There's
only one thing we can do, BILL said
he.
whats that?" asked Bill.
"Wait for the foolish beast 10
yawn!"

Marital Troubles OF Greensboro Man
An Awkward Situation.

High Point October 22-To be mar
ried to man whom she supposed to
be her lawful husband and to have
wife No l come upon the scene after
an absence of several years, is the ex-
Derience Of wife No. 2, of man who
works near this place but who lives
in Greensboro.
Several years ago the wife of the
man in question left his bed and board
and went north and he claims he had
never heard of her until she put in
her appearance a day Or so ago; that
he believed her dead and had received
word to that effect In the meantime
he married woman living in this
neighborhood but had never received
any divorce, therefore making him a
bigamist.
1t is not known whether wife No. l
(his lawful Wife) will push the case
or not and in the meantime specula-
tiOn is rife as to what wife No. 2 will
do. The unfortunate man has consult
ed legal advice but it is learned that
little Encouragement was given him,
owing to the fact that 10 positive evi-
dence is in hand to snow that he be-
lieved his first wife was dead
He is hard working man, general
ly liked by his friends and has had
many reverses, it is learned in life

Goldsboro, y. c., October IA
mule belonging to a countryman hitch
ed to cart became frightened on Wal
nut street today and raised right much
excitement as well as doing some dam
age. Mrs. Tom R. Switzerland and
Mrs. Geo c. Switzerland were sitting
in the latter's buggy in front OF Mac

cart came dashing down the street
The cart wheel struck the hind wheel
Of the buggy and partially turned it
over throwing Mrs. Tom Switzerland
out of the vehicle. She was carried
into the drug store and while she was
being taken in the shock caused Mrs.
George Switzerland to faint. Neither
one of the ladies was injured very
much. They We're terribly frightened
as we'll as the large number Of people
who witnessed the accident and ex-
pected to see much worse results. The
mule was unmanageable and did not
stop running until he got out in the
country. Mrs. Tom Switzerland is
from Wilmington and came here sew
eral months ago with her husband and
family to make their home. Mr..
Switzerland is travelling man and is

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

The British parliament convened last
raised that the end of the house OF
lords is in sight. This is periodical
cry. It is raised every year or two,
but the abolition of that body is no
near accomplishment than it was when
the demand was first raised among the
most radical of the British people. We
look for the American congress to be
abolished by the time the British house
of lords is done away with. The Brit
ish people would not do away With
that body if they could do so. They
have too much veneration for that
ancient and time-honored body. Eng
land without her house of lords would
not be England. The upper house Of
parliament has no real legislative au-
thority 1t does not interfere with the
legislation of the house of commons.
The latter is the real legislative body
of the kingdom. To the commons
the people look for remedial and pro-
tective legislation. The house of lords
they keep as a link connecting the
present free government with the real
monarchy of the past. 1t is an honor
ed and revered relic of England's
feudal days when the lords and the ba-
rons with the aid of the king ruled the
away with her house of lords than she
would raze to the ground Westminster
or Battle Abbey. It is one Of her his
tCric institutions.

INDIGESTION A CRIME
Don't You Want q Keen Appetite and
Perfect Health Once More.

Don't you want keen appetite, vigor-
GUS digestion, strong heart action, pure
blood, nerves of steel, and natural
strength and health restored to you
once more?
If you continue to suffer with the
ills of indigestion, such as headaches,
backaches. sleeplessness, nausea and
distress after eating, specks before the
eyes, dependency and nervousness,
now that you have been told of the
good Mi-o-na stomach tablets will do
you, then your indigestion is an ahsol-
ute crime.
Mi-ona will strengthen all the organs
Of digestion, so that you will get from
your food the nourishment that is
needed to support the vital forces and
strengthen the nerve powers; the flag
ging spirits of mind and body will be
rejuvenated; hope, courage and
strength will be restored.
The fact that Mi-o-na is sold under
an absolute guarantee by r. r. Bel
lamy to strengthen the digestive sys-
tenn and restore health, ar he will re-
fund the money, proves most clearly
and strongly the great merit of this
remedy.
Ask him to show you the guarantee
he gives with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na This will show his faith in
the remedy, and Mona itself will soon
demonstrate it's health-giving qualities.

ROOsEvELTs FOREIGN TOUR.

President Roosevelt has decided 10
extend his foreign tour on the occasion
of his visit to the isthmus of Panama.
He will visit our insular possessions in
the caribbean seattle island of Porto
Rico If he would put off his trip for
a year or two he might include Cuba
also in his itinerary to American pos
sessions in the south seas. When Mr.
Roosevelt sails for Panama and Porto
Rico it will be the first time in the his
tory of the republic that its president
dary of the states proper. During Mr..
McKinley's incumbency of the Office
of president he at the time of trip
to the south was invited to pay visit
to the City of Mexico. He declined
President Diaz's cordial invitation on
the advice of members of his cabinet
that grave questions might arise if he
ever crossed the boundary line of the
United States. He needed the advice
of his councillors and kept on the safe
side by not crossing over the Mexican
border. Mr. Roosevelt has no such
notions. He wants to go to Panama
and Porto Rico and he is going. He
will let the future take care of any
complications which may arise because
of such action on his part. Because he
does not think they ought to arise he
is sure that they will not and even If
they should he feels competent to meet
them. His reply would be that he was
elected president until March 4, 1909,
and he was going to act as president
until that time and no such foolish
question about his going to sea for a
few days or weeks would be allowed to
work an abdication on his part. He is
a man that does not take any stock
in your fine technicalities of the Jaw,
especially when they stand in the
way of his pleasures and ideas of what
are his rights as an officer of the Amer
lean government. Such bubbles Of the
law as to the results which may flow
from the president leaving American
territory for a short while do not dis
turb him.

EVERY DEMOCRAT MUST VOTE.

From the papers of the central part
of the state we learn that great interest
is being taken in the political contest
now going ON. In some counties new
registration is unusually heavy and the
people are turning out in force to hear
the democratic speakers. In that sec
ton of the state it is the liveliest cam
paign for an off year we have had N
a long time. We are glad to know this.
1t is as it should be. The people should
take interest in such matters. They
should exercise their right and priyil
ege of selecting by their ballots the
and in making these selections they
should be careful as to the men chosen,
whether it be for the office of president
of for that of justice of the peace or
township constable. The people are
interested in the filling of every office
and they should manifest their interest
by taking part in the selection of those
officials. No Office within the gift of
the people is so small or Insignificant
that it is not worth their while to in
terest themselves in the choice Of its
occupant. For this reason we urge
every democrat to see that his name is
on the registration book of his pracinct
and to go to the polls on the day Of
election and vote for the men his party
has nominated for the different Of
fees. Besides the Importance of elect
ing the democrats nominated in each
county there is a matter Of equal i'm
curing of an overwhelming majority
for the democratic state ticket. The
republican party is making desperate
efforts to break the solid south, or at
least to show that it has made heavy
inroads on the strength of the demo-
cratic party in those states where the
large majority of the negr have
been disfranchised. A small democratic
vote in this state on next election day
Will give tuo TepuDtlCduS SIOuAuo ioi
claiming that they have won many
white men over to their party and will
encourage them to greater efforts to
carry the state two years hence in the
presidential election. While there is
not the least danger of the democrats
losing the state in the coming elec-
tion. it is of the utmost Importance
to them that they should carry the
state by an overwhelming majority in
order to show to the country that
North Carolina is still as solidly DEM
ocratic as she ever was and that there
is no use for the republicans making
an effort to capture her presidential.
electoral vote in 1908. In order TO do
this every democrat must come out and
vote.
