The Manufacture and Sale of
Cider.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Mr.. Editor, will you allow me
space in your columns for a few
words on the prohibition ques-
ton? On the 26th of last May
the writer cast a vote against
the manufacture and sale Of in
toxicating liquors, and thank God
the grand old State of North
Carolina went dry. But the few
words l wish to say are in regard
to the manufacture and sale of
cider. Cider-Think of it's
manufactured and sold through
out the county and State. l can
ride along the roads and see ci-
der mills and cider presses in
operation, see men hauling it by
the barrel and by the keg and by
the jug; and see men drunk, stag
gering and cursing under the in
fuence of cider. Think of it,
Christian friends. It is heart
breaking to see such in our grand
old county of Robeson and Ihope
and pray to see the time when it
will be the same offense to make
and sell cider as it is to make
and sell corn whiskey. What is
the difference? l answer, none.

New York Dispatch, I'd.
Henri Farman, who came from
Paris to give a aseries of aeroplane
exhibitions under the manage
ment of an American syndicate,
made his first public flight in this
country at the Brighton Beach

ventor's ability to fly under
favorable atmospheric conditions,
and entertained some 1000 en-
thusiastic spectators. Farman

of the race track enclosure to the
opposite corner at the lower turn,
a distance of nearly a third of a
mile, in about 30 seconds, and
did not appear to be hurrying.
In rising, flying and alighting,
the frail looking aircraft display

Brewers Take Steps to Form National
Organization.
New York, Jan. 29.-An organized
movement against the wave of pro-
hibition which is spreading over the
onntry is now being made in New
York and elsewhere. The brewers
and dealers in brewers supplies and
machinery are behind the movement
and are organizing associations
throughout the country the object of
which will be to fight the prohibition
movement. The organization in New
York is known as the Manufacturers
and Dealers club of Greater New
York and circulars have been sent to
jobbing firms and men in the finan-
ciai district in an effort to extend the
membership throughout the business
world. Tt is proposed, as soon as the
local organizations are we'll under way
throughout the country, to organize
them into national organization. It
is said that large numbers of business
men are joining the local organiza-
ton. In this connection attention is
called to recently published state

poration to the effect that while the
prohibition movement lessons the CON
sumption of beer it has had at the

MCDONALD MURDER TRIAL,
Sisterin-Law Of Murdered Man on the
Stand,

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Archibald
Guerin, the wife Of the brother Of
Webster Guerin, for whose murder
Mrs. Dora Mcdonald is now on trial,
was on the witness stand throughout
the greater part of the day. Mrs.
Guerin was the young woman of
whom, it is claimed by the state, Mrs.
Mcdonald was jealous. Since the
murder she has married Archibald
Guerin. She testified that Mrs. Nc
Donald had accused her of trying to
win Webster Guerin away from her
and declared that she could not do it.
She also told of threats made by Mrs.
Mcdonald against the man whom she
afterwards shot.
The cross-examination of Mrs.
Guerin was exceedingly severe and
several times Judge Brentano inter-
fered to protect the witness from what
he considered improper questions.
On redirect examination Mrs. Guerin
described supper at the home Of
Richard Baugham, saying that Mrs.
Mcdonald "was loving Webster nearly
all the time''
what do you mean by loving?'
asked Assistant States Attorney Rit-
tenhouse.
"She had her arm around him and
was kissing him all the time"

Smith Waived Examination,

Harry Smith, who was charged
with assault in the first degree, was
given preliminary hearing before
Justice H. A. Simons, and upon the
consent of County Attorney, Henry
Funkley, Smith was allowed to plead
on that date.
Smith waived examination and
was released on $500 bail, his
bondsmen being ]. w. Johnson and
Ole Ferguson of Cass Lake.
Smith is specifically charged with
having attempted to shoot Frank
Coppersmith, a brakeman on the NJ.
& I. railway, recently, while Smith
was on the north-bound passenger
train, near Tenstrike. Accounts
differ somewhat, but it appears that
Smith had some trouble with Cop
persmith, on the train, and that a
gun was pulled from his pocket and
discharged at Coppersmith. Smith
claims he did not pull the gun, while
others who were present state posi-
lively that he attempted to shoot
Coppersmith and would have sue
ceeded but for the interference of
byStanders.

KIDNEYS ARE FIRST TO
WEAR OUT With AGE
Says Few Persons Know What to do
When Kidneys are Weak
and Sick.

The great majority of men and
women at the age of so years begin
to feel the first signs of advancing
age in some form of kidney trouble
and bladder weakness. Few are
entire free from that torturous dis
ease, rheumatism, which is not a
disease in itself, but a symptom
of deranged function of the kidneys
which have become clogged and
sluggish, failing IN their duty of
sitting and straining the poisonous
waste matter, uric acid, etc., from
the blood, permitting it to remain
and decompose, settling about the
joints and muscles, causing intense
pain and suffering.
The bladder, however, causes the
old folks the most annoyance, es-
pecially at nights and early morn
ing.
A noted authority in a recent
article stated that he has wonderful
success with the old-time "vege-
table treatment. He states: "Of
the sixteen cases of bladder trouble
and rheumatism which have been
treated with this treatment only
one very complicated case failed
to fully yield to it's remarkable
influence. 1t is the most harmless
treatment I have ever found to
clean the system of rheumatic poi
sons: remove irritation of the blad-
der and relieve urinary difficulties
of the old people. It is a true
vitalizing tonic to the entire kid
ney and urinary structure, reinvig-
Grating the entire system

treatment" consists Of the following
simple prescription, the ingredients
which can be obtained from any
good pharmacy at small cost: Com
pound Kargon, one ounce, Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and upon going to bed, also
drink plenty of water.
This prescription, though simple,
is always effective in the diseases

SIGNED AT WASHINGTON.
Franco-American Reciprocity Arrange
ment Com peted.

Franco-American Reciprocity Arrange
ment Completed.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Root and Ambassador Jusserand have
signed the Franco-American reci-
procity arrangement drawn under Sec
ton of the Dingley act.
The agreement comedies to France
an abatement of 20 per cent in the
duties on champagne and sparkling
wines imported into America. For it's
part the French government confirms
the minimum tariff rate now accorded
to American products. Provision also
is made for the appointment of a COM
side to consider and report upon pos
sible amendments to the existing
trade regulations in both France and
America to facilitate exchange.
It is explained at the state depart
ment that no considerable reductions
of French duties on American products
are recorded in this new arrangement
for the simple reason that America
has already been enjoying minimum
tariff rates in many cases, solely by
special concession of the French gov
eminent In other words, the Amer
lean exporter was not legally entitled
to claim the benefits of these lower
duties; they were merely extended as
favor by the French government in
anticipation of the reduction on cham
payne duties and the amelioration of
certain custom house regulations and
certain provisions of the new Amer
lean pure food. law about to be applied
