CIGARETTES and BUSINESS
How Cigarettes Destroy a Young
Mans Chance.
Raleigh News & Observer:

Raleigh News d Observer:
Mr.. John Murphy, superintendent
Of the Pittsburg Railway Company, has
issued an order forbidding employees
using cigarettes. He is the head of
company that hauls over two hundred
and twenty-five million people per
year, and he says his duty to protect
He says that his own observation and
that of his twelve superintendent is
that persons addicted to the use of
cigarettes, especially young men, are
the most careless in their duties and
less able to perform them than men
adds this remarkable statement, which
we wish could be read by ambitious
youth in North Carolina:
81 may also mention that in seven
teen years experience as manager of
public utility corporations [ have had
occasion to promote many of our men
from the rank of conductors and motor
men to, officers, and in no case has a
man using wh1skey come up to the re-
quirements.' -
There are young men who use cigar
cites wondering why their services are
not demanded. The above statement
from practical railroad man answers
the question. He is no preacher or
sentimentalist, but hard-headed man
who gives his life to railroad work
and his views are based upon long ex-
perience. The truth is that, other
things being half way equal, business
man prefers young man not afflicted
with the cigarette habit. OF course
there are capable and honorable men
who smoke cigarettes, but the average
man is seriously injured by it and the
more than average man will after awhile
feel the bad effects it he keeps up the
use of cigarettes.
The only safe thing for young man
is to shun cigarettes as he would coffin
tacks.

FATED LAUNCH FOUND.
Several Bodies Found, But on Account
OF Confined Space, Their Number
Gould Not Be Counted.

Newport News, Va, June l5.-Wlth
canopy frame crushed, but canvass still
tightly fastened down the missing
launch of the battleship Minnesota was
located in 27 feet of water, about / 400
yards west by south of Fort Wool yes
terday afternoon. Across the little
craft was a tell-tale piece of towing line
serving to convince the naval officers
that they are right in their theory that
the launch was run down by float Of
some kind in tow of tug. The diver
who went down to examine the launch,
reported that the heads and arms of
three men were protruding from beneath
the canvas covering; the men having
made a desperate fight for life when
they were carried down like rats in a
trap.
1t will be hours before the launch can
be raised and at the present time no one
knows how many bodies will be found.
It is believed that certainly nine of the
bodies will be under the canopy, but
the fact that uniform capes OF Midship-
men UIrich and Stevenson were picked
up in the roads indicates that these two
must have succeeded in getting free
from the boat before they were drown

"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

s"Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case of eczema,
/ resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there, has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
Of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie

IL r E..

The poets exclamation: 20 Life! I
feel thee bounding in my veins,' is a
Joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortunate.
hey do not live, but exist; for to live
implies more than to be. To live is to
be well and strong-to arise feeling
equal to the ordinary duties of the day,
and to retire not overcome by them
to feel life bounding in the veins. A
medicine that has made thousands of
people. men and women, we'll and
strong, has accomplished great work
besto wig the richest blessings, and
that medicine is Hoods Sarsa parilla
The weak. rundown, or debilitated
from any cause should not fail to take
it. It builds up the whole system,
changes existence into life, and make
life more abounding. We are glad to
say these words in it's favor to the
readers of our columns.

The ROW AVO CASE.
1t Is Assuming Sensational
Character.
There May Have Been Conspiracy
and Deadly Doings, After All.
Many Witnesses on Hand.
Special to The ARGUS.

Raleigh, n. G., June 1.-THE hear
ing in the Rowland case began at 1890.
After warm argument by Lawyer
Holding for the prisoner, demanding
his release, Justice Separk, who is both
coroner and committing magistrate,
ruled that he would first hold coroner s
inquest. If the inquest developed that
dence pointed to oti ers as Implicated
therein, he would issue warrants ac-
cordingly for any or all persons ac-
cordingly.
After Chemist Syme had testified to
his failure to find any poison, Engineer
Michael Tighe was sworn. He testified
he had seen DR.. Rowland and the pres
ent Mrs. Rowland (while she was yet the
wife of Engineer Strange) in each others
company on the streets far back as
last March and that he had seen her go
to RowIand's office at o'clock one
evening.
This evidence is considered import
ant. because it has been claimed that
DR.. and Mrs. Rowland had not been ac-
quainted until the day he was called in
to attend Strange the day he died.
Strange died in April.
Mrs. Rowland, beautiful and pale,
and her sister were present when ar
gument opened and before the investi-
CATION under evidence began.
Evidence is still being taken at four
O'Clock, and there are thirty eight wit
nesses present to be examined. The
coroner's vestigation will, therefore,
consume all the evening, and in all
probability may not be concluded to-
day.

MARCUM'S AL
Legged ASSASSIN.
Special Term of Court Convened To,
day To Try Him Second Time.
Special to THE ARGUS.

Beattyville, KY, Jun ia special
term of the Lee Circuit Court conV ened
here today for the second trial of B.
Fulton French, one of the Brea thltt
county feud leaders charged with the
assassination of James B. Marcum.
The assassination of Marcum occur
red May 4, 1903. He was killed as he
stood at the court house door in Jack
SON Judge James Hargis, the Brea-
thitt county feud leader, and Sheriff
Edd Callahan, of the same county, were
accused of employing Curt Jett and
Tom White to do the killing. Jett was
sentenced to hang and White was given
life term in the penitentiary.
year ago Jett confessed, saying he
had killed Marcum at the behest of
Hargis and Callahan. He said White
had nothing to do with it. Later, how
ever, Jett was put on the witness stand,
and he then repudiated in full his cou-
fession, saying he had been forced to
make it by the attorneys for the prose-
cution.
Judge Hargis and Callahan were ac-
quilted, while Mrs. Marcum, widow Of
the murdered man, swore vengeance.
Later Curt Jett was given life SEN
tence for the assassination of James
Cock krill, and upon reversal of his
death sentence for killing Marcum was
given life sentence for that murder
also.
Fulton French, John Smith and
John Abner were charged with COM
plicity in the sassination of Marcurn,
and tried here last summer on change
of venu from Breathitt county. The
jury stood eight for hanging and four
for acquittal. Thay could not agree
and were discharged. French, the
man who is now to be tried the second
time, is the former leader of his faction
in the French Eversole fued war in
Perry county, in which nearly one
hundred people were killed. French
is said to be personally responsible for
the deaths of more than thirty of these
men. He is now lawyer and lives at
Winchester with his family.

A PERTINENT ENQUIRY.
A Suggestion That Should Not Pass
the Aldermen Without Favor
able Action.
Editor ARGUS:

=. I note in the printed proceedings of
the Board of Aldermen that mention is
made of contemplated changes in some
of the Ordinance now in force, and
while it may and doubtless will be we'll
to do something along that line, it
would also be we'll to enact some rules
and regulations regarding hacks and
drays. How much longer are we to
submit to the conditions as they now
are and have been tor the past several
year? Poor, scantily fed, blind, broken
down horses and rickety old worn out
hacks and drays. If the Aldermen
have the authority under the law, some
regula tion should be adopted requiring
a lineup at least once in every three
months, and oftener if necessary, for
inspection, theinspectors to have power
to condemn either horses or vehicles or
both. Something ought. to be done,
and now is the time to do it.
Respectfully,
CITIZEN.

THAT HIGH SCHOOL.

ton.
CITIZEN.

Editor ARGUS:
/ see in your paper yesterday that
the Board of Trustees of the Public
Schools will meet next week to settle
the question OF a site for the High
School.
Let me add my endorsement to the
several correspondents in your paper
advocating the IsIer property. This
site is ideal. It is high, spacious, CEN
trally located, yet so admirably pro-
visioned by nature that it furnishes
Just the retirement essential for study
remote enough to permit of no passing
distractionsNto the pupils.
The elevation, too, is such as to per-
nit of basement to the building for
furnace and other things, such as stor-
age room for coal, etc, without possi-
biIity of dampness. The price, too, is
certainly reasonable.
In building for all time the Board
should act wisely.
The people will endorse the selection
of the Isler property.
