It must be trying to those who feel
that they are far too heavy to run up
stairs three steps at bound to hear
that London physician has prescribed
this very thing for those who battle
against embonpoint and those Of slug
gish dispositions, says the New York
Press. His idea Of cure as reported
by a New York society woman who
went over to take the treatment Is to
have one run up and downstairs, &C
celebrating the pace until one can al
most take q flying leap down the entire
fight. sprintng up and downstairs,
she suggests, may perhaps become q
pastime for wet days In country houses
and be installed az an after dinner
amusement. It would not be without
it's humor, she remarks, and also has
gambling possibilities, for the betting
set could hardly zee a dozen stoutly
proportioned persons racing each other
up and down a wide staircase without
backing the favorite. However, as the
height Of bliss among some women u
to lose AfV pounds, many folk may
Jump at the notion and try the new
cure.

He Had Preferences.

Squire Lord, of local fame in bingham
n. H., fifty years ago, had accumulated
by all sorts of methods, fortune for the
times and place. Keeping the country
store, being practically the "bank" OF
shose parts, and increasing wealth beyond
expenditures had nourished an ambition
70 live in place larger and with more
social opportunities than the little village
Afforded. So he packed up one autumn,
took house in Portland, which was the
town of the world to country people then,
and with his family started in to cut a
dash.
TO his chagrin he found he was one OF
many in that place, and not scrape OF
bow was coming his way. Christmas saw
him back, bag and baggage, in Efingham
and that evening in his store, to the in
suiry of one of the village loafers, "Why'd
ye come back, Squire, fore you'd carcu'
lated?" he replied.
"pve had enough of fthat place. Yer see
I'd ruther be king among hogs than
hog among kings"

Following the wedding ceremony came
q delightful reception given by the brides
S parents. The house, which had been ex-
quisitely decorated for the occasion, was
we'll filed by the guests who had been in
vited to partake in the pleasures of the
evening by 8 o'clock. The happy young
couple received congratulations and best
wishes from all until it was time to de-
S part to the, station, where they boarded

; Was Whiskey Poisoned

The following account of the death of
Mr. B. F. Reid is taken from the Charles
ton News and Courier, and was written
by the correspondent of that paper here
BAMBERe, Jan. 15.-On Saturday last
B. T. Reid, an energetic and prosperous
young farmer of Orangeburg county,
came over to the city and transacted
some business. He was in fine spirits
and apparently perfectly healthy, but
when driving out of town about 2.S0
o'clock, he was suddenly seized with ILL
ness, and concluded 70 return to town for
medical attention. He drove up to
Smoak's stable and had his team put
away, and physician was called. Mr..
Reid remarked to friend that he had
taken two or three drinks of whiskey,
and he believed it was poisoned. He
then handed his friend considerable
sum of money he had upon his person,
and requested that it be placed in the
bank to his credit.
Physicians arrived promptly and gave
him constant attention, but he steadily
grew worse, and died about 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. The physicians say
that his was peculiar case, but if there
were any symptoms of poisoning other
than alcoholic, they were unable to dis.
cover them. It is not known where MIR.
Reid got ths whiskey he drank. 1t is
said he made no purchase at the dispen.
sary here. 1t is probable, therefore, that
he brought it with him, or else it was
purchased by some person here.
There are some who have suspicious of
foul play as it was known that Mr.. Reid
carried considerable money on his per-
son, and he may have been given drug
ped LIQUOR with view to robbery. An
Investigation will be made, but his body
was removed to his home yesterday with.
out the holding of an inquest over it.
Mr.. Reid was a quiet and industrious
citizen, and was not addicted to the
habitual use of Intoxicating liquors.

JOINT STATEHOOD.

The Statehood bill which passed
the lower house of Congress Thurs
day, has been reported favorably by
the Senate Committee and will prob
ably pass that body without much
opposition. At one time there was
a great deal Of opposition to the bill
in the House, but by some means
the majority of the insurgents were
driven into line when the time came
to vote on the measure. The bill as
passed the House provides that Okla
homa and Indian Territory shall
constitute one State under the name
of "Oklahoma", and that Arizona
and New Mexico shall constitute one
State under the name of "Arizora.' -
Should the terms Of admission be
ratified by the residents in question,
their respective State Constitutions
must contain clauses prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors to In
dams and also prohibiting plural
marriages. There are other stipula.
tions governing schools, courts and
political subdivisions.

Taken at His Word,

A merchant, who was very pune
tual in all his dealings with his fell
bowman, one day gave a Joiner an
order for some work. Knowing
that the man was rather careless, and
often promised but did not perform,
he said to him:
"When will you have my work
finished? 2"
"On Thursday next" replied the
joiner. eff am living man you
shall have it," Thursday came and
passed without the promised work.
In the evening the merchant called
at the newspaper Office and inserted
among the death notices the name of
the joiner.
On taking up the paper the next
day the man was surprised to find
an announcement Of his death, and
went to the paper to demand an ex-
PLANTATION.
He was referred to the merchant,
who, on seeing him, expressed some
surprise, ''for," said he, "you SOL
emnly promised my work for Thurs
day if you were living, and as it did
not come I thought you must be
dead"

A PIPE DREAM.

Mr.. M. L. Shipman, Of Ruther-
fordton, who has job in the Bureau
Of Labor and Printing, in an inter-
view with the News and Observer,
says that everything is apparently
quiet and composed in the demo-
cratic household In Western North
Carolina, while he says the republic
cans are engaged in bitter factional
war and that there seems to be little
prospects Of peace. In a case where
the wish is father of the thought a
man can see strange things.
1t is common knowledge that Mr..
Shipman and Congressman Gudger
have had a bitter controversy of
about three months standing and it
was all over Office. Mr.. Gudger had
promised Mr.. Shipman, so Mr.. Ship
man claims, that if the democrats
would nominate him for Congress
the last time that he would not again
be candidate. Mr.. Gudger accused
Mr.. shipman Of telling falsehood
and Mr.. Shipman returned the COM
pliment. But still Mr.. Gudger said
he would again be q candidate, and
notwithstanding that democrats de-
test Office, Mr.. Gudger will have
plenty of company In his race for
the denomination. There are already
nine candidates for the nomination,
and 1t is nearly year until the cleo
ton. Everything may be serene in
the democratic ranks in the West, as
Mr.. Shipman would have Us believe.
but if 80, things are not what they
seem.

Is THE WARD LAW A FARCE
Is the Ward Law q farce? Is the
judiciary a farce, Or what is the mat
ter? The following item Is taken
from Sundays Issue Of the News
and Ob.erycr:
"AIr. J. ID. Parker, Of Union
county, will pay only $50 instead of
$500, the amount Of his fine i'm
posed by the trial Judge, for vio-
IatIng Union couuty's antijug law.
\ petition, signed by hundreds OF
citizens Of Monroe, was placed in
the hands of Governor Glenn, re-
Questing him to pardon the defend
ant, and the trial judge urged him
to reduce the fine to $50. AT the
fime If the trial Tho j"dso iaeoI neu
Tue defendant that, ifan appeal were
not taken TO the Supreme Court, he
would reduce the fine from $500 to
$50, but Parker went to the Supreme
Court, ard the lower court was af-
firmed. Yet Judge Ward, having
found that Mr.. Parker had been fined
too heavily, asked that the change
be made.
Mr.. j. d. Parker is a man of the
highest character, and is superinten-
dent Of Sunday school in Munroe,
being highly esteemed. He sold a
phosphate drink to a man from
Stanly county, who afterwards be-
came intoxicated, but it was proven
that he had been drinking liquor be-
fore he entered Mr.. Parker's store
to get soft drink. Being arrested
the man said be had gotten drunk
on the drink at Mr.. Parker's, but
the best men Of Monroe tested the
tie phosphate drink and found it
was nOn-alcOholic."
Now if the drink furnished by
said druggist contained no alcohol
whatever, why should he be pun
ished even 10 the extent Of $50
What is the object In Furnishing a
man if he is not guilty?
On the other hand, we have been
Informed that three other men be-
came intoxicated from drinks pur-
chased at the same drugstore. If
this be fact, then why should the
fine be reduced from $500 to $50 {?
It is very seldom any arrest is made
under the Ward bill, which has
caused many to believe that the law
was not passed with the intention
that it should he enforced, but
simply for political effect. If it was
passed in good faith why should the
fine Of a violator Of said law be re-
duccd? If the druggist was not
guilty, we again ask, why should he
have been fined at all?

Some days ago a Mr.. Pattison,
democrat, and president of the Union

was elected governor of Ohio. OF
course the News and Observer of

now turns out that the company, of
which Mr.. Pattison is head, contrib
uted money to the campaign fund to
influence legislation. Now let demo-

THE GOvERNoR AND PROHIBITIoN
The following Is from the Hickory
Times-Mercury, an independent pa
pr:
"Gov. Glenn says 'the greatest
work before him is to make the State
prohibitions That Is fact. But he
will never do IL 80 long as he has the
present sheriffs and other little ofti-
GERS In. He would have prohibition
now If he could get Christians will
ing 10 do without their drains, and
get them to work as hard for 1t a.
they do for dispensaries, and If he
had honest officers In who would en-
force the law. The Governor Ii
talking through his hat. lie is Just
footing through the same old politi.
cal horn"
We do not mean to say the Gov
ernor is not sincere In his recent con-
victions in favor of temperance, for
no man knows his own thoughts
but himself; but we can't see how
the Governor is going to make his
past, present, and we might say his
future, appear consistent to the vo.
tiers of this State.
Before he was Governor he was
attorney for a whiskey drm In Win
ston. When he secured his nomi-
nation whiskey was plentiful near
his headquarters, and q "Glenn
man" was perfectly welcome to a
drink, 80 we are told. Since he has
been Governor he has appeared for
the same whiskey firm In Washing
ton, and 1t is said that 1t was his
influence that kept the whiskey
dealer out Of Jail. Only last Satur-
day he reduced the flne of a druggist
in Union county, who had been fined
for violating the anti-jug law, from
$500 to $780,. But possibly the Gov
ernor's campaign Is one where &C.
lions do not speak louder than words.

DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women SO much suffering.
AS pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex-

to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as we'll as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, choral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.

The following Is from the Cnar-

"Did you ever stop to think how

such men as Judge Burwell,.J. FL.

John Mcdowell, or other men of the

We will say to Brother Sossaman
that the class Of men he speaks of
are not the kind Of men the Demo-
cratic machine want in the legisla-
ture. They want men who will
jump at the crack Of the party whip,
and when men of independence get
to the legislature 1t Is without the

DEMOCRATIC "GOOD GOVERN
MENT."
On last Friday Gov. Glenn changed
the sentence of w. r. Murray, of
Durham, from two years imprison-
ment to fine of $3.50 and cost. The
prisoner was also placed under a
bond for his appearance at March
term, 1908 court, and show that he
has been a man of good character.
Murray killed his uncle in Durham
some months ago and was sentenced
to Jail for two years by the pre-
siding judge. Gov. Glenn is quoted
as saying that he believed that Muir
ray was guilty, but taking into con-
sideration the circumstances, ILL.
health, he changed the sentence to a
fine. Rogers and Sorrell, of Wake
county, last summer, were sentenced
to Jail for six months for embracery.
Later the Governor was asked to
pardon them on account of their ill
health, or to even give them prison
bounds, as they needed the fresh air.
The request was denied, and the
Governor said if they needed fresh
air that they could be put to work
on the county roads. Quite a con-
trast 10 the Murray case, and some
are asking why this great difference
was shown in the two cases? About
two years ago one Mehaffy in the
western part Of this State was found
guilty Of seducing an innocent white
girl, and was let off by paying fine,
which had the appearance of placing
apriee on virtue. Some men can
threaten the lives of others and not
even be fined for carrying a con-
cealed weapon, while others must
pay the full penalty of the law.
Such is the record Of democratic
''good governments
