Family Newspaper War;.

This is a little domestic story
with two characters-father and
son.
The gray-haired father as he
has been reading the newspapers
day after day has been impressed
with the fact that an unusually
large number of sons of good fam
lilies have been going wrong. A
bright idea came into his head
the other day. Since that time
until within four or five days ago
he has been clipping accounts of
these misdoings out and placing
them each morning beside the
plate of his son at the breakfast
table. Then a bright idea came
into the head of the young man.
He found good material in the
daily papers of the misdoings of
elderly men, fathers for families.
These he kept together or some
days, and yesterday at breakfast
put the bunch beside the plate of
his father. Thus far honors are

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Case of Policeman Goforth. Who Was Shot
by a RurgarI, Attracts Attention.

The medical fraternity of the
State is viewing with marked in
terest the case Of Policeman Co.
forth, of Newton, who was shot by
a burglar some days ago to all ap-
pearances fatally, but who, after
a remarkable operation perform
ed, is apparently recovering rap
idly. The operation, which was
performed under the direction of
DR.. Henry F. Long, of Statesville,
one of the most brilliant of the
States surgeons, is regarded as
a distinct triumph of modern sur
gical science. Interest is added
to the situation by the fact that
the wound was very similar to
that which caused the death of
President Mckinley, despite the
best efforts of what was supposed
to be the best medical talent in
America. In the case of Mr.. Co.
forth the ball penetrated the in
testines and lodged in the muscles
of the back. Perforations we're
made in the intestines, it is said
in nine different places and the
physicians were of the opinion
that all their efforts would be use.
less. The man, they said. had
barely one chance in a hundred to
get we'll.
The Lexington Dispatch thus
describes the operation: "The
doctors laid open the abdomen
and took the bowels out. Each
p%erforation was sewed up. One
wound was two inches long. Tie
abdomen was filled with blood,
Al artery had been cut by the
ball. Double handfuls Of clotted
blood were taken out. The in.
terror of the mans body was
washed SO clean that at the last g
sheet of absorbent cotton was not
discolored by a stain of blood,
Having finished. the physicians
gave out no hope. Goforth is a
man of splendid physiqne. His
body is sound. He is in his
prime. No dissipation had weak,
ened him. His remarkable VI.
tality surprised everybody"
At last accounts Mr.. Goforth's
case was progressing f%avorably.
This is an indication of the tire.

A CRAZY MAN..
Found Eating an Egg, Shell and All
People are Amazed.

A crazy man was recently found
eating al egg-shell and all and it
was declared additional proof of
his insanity, as every one realizes
that the shell of an egg has no
food value, and is both 1ndigest-
IDLE and injurious. 1t is just as
crazy for q same person to swallow
a lot of cod liver oil to get the
beheft of tEe medicinal elements
contained therein, as for the crazy
mar to eat the egg, shell and all.
Scientists agree that the oil or
greasy part of cod liver oil has no
medicinal value whatever, and
only upsets the stomach and re-
tards recovery, but it is the medi-
cinal elements enveloped in the
Gods livers and their oil which
represent all the tonic and cura-
rive power of that famous old
remedy.
Vinol contains all the medicinal
curative elements of cod liver oil,
but is entirely free from oil, and
is therefore, the best strength
creator and tonic reconstruction
possible to obtain.
The reason Vinol IS so far su-
perior to the old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions is because
it is made by scientific, extractive
and concentrating process from
fresh Gods livers, combining with
peptonate of iron all the medlci-
nal, healing, bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil,
Vinol is unexcelled to restore
health and create strength for
rundown, debilitated, tired, over
worked people, old people, weak
women, nursing mothers, puny,
ailing children, convalescents. or
fer people suffering with hard
colds, hacking coughs, incipient
consumption and bronchitis. Try
it. If it fails we will return your
money.-The T. w. Grimes Drug

Straight Stuff For Concord.

Lawyer Bill Smith, of Concord,
who is also banker, real estate
man and capitalist, paid his BIZ
yearly visit to Charlotte yester-
day and fulfilled his obligation of
calling at The Chronicle office to
pass the time o'day, We gener-
ally get something out of him
when he "drops in" Yesterday
we got his word that a graded and
macadamized road between Char
lotte and Concord is a certain
thing of the neal future. He
thinks the old Salisbury stage
road could be graded and macada-
mixed for horse aud horseless We
hicles, putting the towns in COM
munication with each other by
the latter on half-hour schedule.
The trolley line, which IS also
sur to come in time, could link
up Newells, Harrisburg and the
new reformatory school. There
r a number of ideal places along
the route for road houses, parks
and pleasure grounds, while Cod
die creek and Rocky river offer
possibilities for boating and fish
ing ponds. Cabarrus and Neck
lenburg have the money to bring
these things to pass, and they are
going to do it. AS TO financial af-
fairs, Mr.. Smith gave us to under
stand that money fairly rattles in
the Concord banks. If the farm
er hasn't got a gun when he sees a
crow, he can throw a silver dollar
at it. Only about 5000 bales of
cotton have been marketed in
Concord this season-the balance
of the crop is on the farms or in
the warehouses. The cotton mills
and furniture factories are run
ming full tilt, and nobody thinks
anything of giving fifty dollars to
boot in q boss trade. A fellow
always feels rich and cheerful af-

BOLD BICYCLE THIEF
Stoea Wheel and Sold II For
S1.50.

Considerable excitement was Great
ed last evening by the theft Of bicy-
Gle belonging to c. d. Gibson of East
Main street. Recently two different
persons have had wheels stolen in a
particularly bold manner but the cheek
ofsthe person or persons who relieved
Mr.. Gibson of his property was too
rank to be believed.
About o'clock in the afternoon
young man came into the hardware
store OF A. H. Winslow on Main street
with a high frame maroon enameled
Dayton bicycle which he wished to
sell. The merchant did not want to
buy the wheel at all. He told the fell
low that he was out of the bicycle
business, anyway, and that he also
believed that the wheel had been stol-
en-. Mr.. Winslow was of the opinion
that he recognized the bicycle and
called up Mr.. Gibson by telephone
Mr.. Gibson looked to see il his wheel
We're standing in front of the house
where he had left it and found that it
had disappeared.
The officers were notified of the
theft but it was not until about nine
o'clock that any trace of the man who
had brought the wheel into the hard
ware store was found Going into the
postoflice Mr.. Winslow saw the young
fellow talking to two girls, the officers
were informed and within few min
utes a warrant for his arrest was is
sued. Chief Brazel followed him to
the candy kitchen while the papers
were being made out and there he and
Sheriff Godfrey made the arrest.
Ii was believed that more than one
party were concerned in the theft and
young Italian who lives in town was
also arrested between 10 and IL
| O'Clock in the upper gallery of the OPP
era house. After being taken to Jail
it was evident that he was not mixed
up in the matter and he was released.
This forenoon the man who attempt
ed to sell the wheel to Winslow was
brought into municipal court. He
gave his name as Henry DeGest, a
| stranger in town and denied that he
| stole the bicycle. He admitted. how
| ever that he attempted to sell the bi.
| Gle to Winslow after his companion
| had stolen it and failing to do so re.
turned 1t to the real thief who later
! disposed of ii and gave him half the
| proceeds, $3.50. He was sent back to
| Jail TO await developments in the case.
Mr.. Gibson is anxious to recover his
bicycle and if 1t is returned to him he
will make no further trouble for the
| innocent purchaser
