proceeded Orchard became steadier
and his voice increased volume. He
wore gray striped suit.
Mr.. Hawley took Orchard through
close examination. taking the Couer

defense objected to the introduction

fense objected continually. Haywood
kept his eyes steadily fixed on Orch

glance. Orchard did not look toward
Haywood. Orchard testified that he

THE PENDER-SJOSTEDT AFFAIR.

We know not the character of Mis-
Ogla Sjostedt, nor what manner -
man Fender is, nor do we know Pen
der's alleged henchman, Harvey.
The writer had never heard Of either
of them before Miss Sjostedt's SEN
sational story began the rounds of
the press. We have not teen upon
the ground to investigate, nor do we
vouch for the correctness Of Miss
Sjostedt's accusation or o Pender's
denial. But if the story, which she
published after her return to Ash
bury Park and which amounts to a
reiteration of former statements, is
true, a grave offence has been COM
mitted and an officer of the law has
been guilty of wilful criminality.
The story referred to was publish
cd in the "Virginian-Pilot" Of Dec.
IL, and states that Harvey assisted
Fender in forcing Miss Sjostedt to
sign the written statement she made
about having become satisfied. The
story of Broderick, who is said to
have rescued her, confirms her state
ments, and shows that she had to be
taken away by force. Broder-
lex further states that citizens
of Halifax made grave charges
against Fender in regard to other
women. and that they wanted to
form posse to aid in the rescue.
There seems to be an air Of mys-
terry about the whole affair, and we
have not been able to get to the bot
tom of it. 1t is not to be passed
overlightly, and deserves thorough
investigation.
1t is strange that such an affair
should have had it's origin in nothing,
and strange that ic should be repeat
ed again and again by both Brode-
rick and the nurse. 1t is stranger
still that no emphatic denial has
come from Fender, for he has only
declared that the story was highly
colored! If Fender is guilty, Har-
vey is guilty, and both deserve the
worst that the law can give. II Pen
der is not guilty the whole affair
should be aired and Miss Sjostedt
should receive the censure which she
would in that case deserve. AS
it stands, the public has not
been satisfied, and North Carolina
and Halifax County bear a blot,
which can only be erased by close in
vestigation.

Cut This Out and Save II.

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the
following advice by an eminent au-
thority, who writes for readers Of a
large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who suf-
fer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty Of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade mix
ture, and in most cases a permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man OF
woman here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy and active, OF
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to
make up this mixture, as it is GER
tain to do much good, and may save
you from much misery and suffering
after a while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if GU,
readers ask them.

The achievements already aeon

md the manipllators and manutac-
1urers of cotton the world over real
ize full we'll that they must reckon
with this organization of Southern
t4rmers in handling and pricing the
lotion crop. And every farmer, and
BUSINESS man as we'll, in the South
,aould pay good heed to the oppor-
unity which the Southern Cotton
ASSOCIATION presents to them for Sc
.lring and maintaining reasonable
prices for their cotton. The South
produces 70 per cent. Of the worlds
lpply of cotton, which is simply
another way of saying that Provi-
d snce has placed in the hands OF the
southern farmers the greatest
nonoply ever given to any people,
and it is no abuse of this monopoly
for the farmers into whose hands it
has been placed to make a fair and
b )nest use of it. Indeed not to do
80 is to prove false to the interests
Of their own homes and firesides,
and recreant to the duty that God
imposes upon every man to guard
diligently the welfare of his home
md to provide proper comforts for
lis family. When a man practices
.arelessness in matters which per-
tain to the comforts Of those de-
pendent upon him, he displeases
God, Injuries himself and those de-
pendent upon him.
Is it not careless in Southern
farmers to disregard their great OPP

We think it is, and every farmer
Who can do anything or exert any

At that meeting officers will be elect

CHRISTMAS OR XMAS.

In discussing the propriety Of the
use Of *" instead Of Christ" in
"Christmas" the Wilmington Morn
ing Star" says:
While we deprecate any practice
likely to offend the sentiment of 9TH
era, we are not ready to go so far as
to say that the substitution of the let
ter X for Christ is sacriligious. The
fact is that the use of tx" is of very
ancient date. The early Christians
adopted the "X," which is the Greek
for "Ch," as the symbol for Christ.
and used the TX" and the succeeding
Greek letter "R," or RHO" (mean-
ing in our alphabet r. as mono
gram.
This is repeated again and again
in inscriptions upon affairs and in the
decoration Of glass in the windows of
very many churches. This may be
seen in almost any prosperous church,
particular Catholic and Episcopalian,
in any large city"
Still, in the light of modern Eng.
lish, XMAS" must be either a con.
traction or an abbreviation, the pre-.
miscuous use of either of which, in
ordinary English composition, i.
