During tbs last two weeks or
more, we have experienced a most
unusual spell of weather for this
time of year. March was as gen.
tie as October and as warm as
July. The flowers budded, bloom
ed and withered in the short peri.
cd of a week. The high tempera-
ture brought them forth very rap
idly and the heat and dryness
caused them to pass away quickly
This was followed Sunday by rain,
snow aud a freezing temperature
which destroyed considera ble
vegetation.

Judge montgomery, OF concord,
who was one of the attorneys for
the White brothers at their trial
for the killing of Russell Sheriff.,
is said to have made a very VAIN
plea before the State Council,
urging that the Whites be par
doned. In the course of his re-
marks the Judge, according to a
Raleigh dispatch in the Concord
Times, "emphasized the high po-
sition and high character of men
signing the petition for the par
don, urged the seventy years of
their mother, that Mrs. Thomas
White is a physical wreck and
that the public is satisfied, etc."
This is all very we'll, no one can
object to Judge Montgomery doing
all he can for his clients. We,
with many others, feel strong
sympathy for the families of
Thomas and Chalmers White, and
it is not at all pleasant to con-
template the deep sorrow of these
wives and the mother over the re-
suit of the rash act Of the two
men they certainly hold dear.
But there is another side to this
picture which should have been
held up to the gaze of the Council
of S6ate at the same time; per-
haps it was, we do not know.
But it ought not to be forgotten
that Russell Sheriff. had a moth
or, and that these two heightened,
chiyalrous gentlemen shot him
down before that mothers eyes,
and while she was pleading with
them, as only a mother can plead,
to spare his life. Is this mother
to have no sympathy, must her
anguish be overlooked and passed
by as not worthy Of comment?
This feature Of the tragedy is the
blacklist, the most horrible one
connected with it. Gould the sort
of men their friends claim the
Whites are have killed this boy in
the presence of his mother while
she was begging for his life? Such
a thing is inconceivable, it is not
within the bonds of reason to even
dream of it. In this county
where all the facts and circum-
stances of the tragedy are best
known, there was strong senti-
ment against this pardon being
granted, the general opinion being
that the Whites escaped lightly
and deserved to serve their IN
tence down to the smallest frac-
tion of q minute.

Drug buying is much more
important than most people
realize. If everybody knew
as much about drugs as drug

be more discriminating.
Drugs are generally bought
for the promotion of health
or comfort. If purchased at
our store we will guarantee
the results to be satisfactory
in the greatest possible de-
gree. We believe that drugs
should be carefully chosen
and we therefore get the best

manufactured out Of the whole cloth, and
that there has been no development to
warrant such story. Work on the course
