According to the Charlotte

IMPRISONED FOR DEBT.
A Rather Peculiar Case Which Involves
Some Interesting Law Points.

We notein the Daily Sentinel
q few days ago a peculiar insol-
veney proceeding was heard before
Clerk of the Court R. E. Tran
sou. L is one Of the few causes
by which a man who owes a debt
can be imprisoned until he pays
it. Prior to 1868, this was a
common practice in North Caro-
lima, but the constitution which
was enacted then forbade the i'm
prisonment of one for debt except
in cases of fraud. Some of the
Older members of the bar in this
city stated that this was the only
proceeding of the kind tha5 has
been heard IN the county i'll many
years. In the case IF the Viz
ginia Chemical Company. tried
here at the September term Of
civil cases only, issues Of fraud
were found by the jury against S.
A. Price, and the executions 4ssu-
ed to Rockingham county, where
Mr.. Price liv9d, against his prop
erty were returned by the sheriff
of that county unsatlfied. The
Virgiuia>C Carolina Chemical Com
pany then had Clerk Of the Court
R. E. TTansou to Issue 81 execu-
ton against Mr.. Prices person
and he was brought t. this city
Oh November 18th and confined in
Jail. He fled his petition before
Clerk Transou so be discharged
from Jail. The Virginia-Carollna
Chemical Company fled an affda-
Wit claiming that Mr.. Price had
not surrendered his property and
objected to Mr.. Price's discharge
from jail. After hearing the law
yers, Mr.. T'ransou remanded
Price back to Jail, but later he
gave bail in the sum Of So, 900 to
await the result of th8 trial Of tie
issues raised by the pleadings.
There 1s considerable feeling in
the case on the part Of thu Viz
ginla.Carolina Chemical Company
and Mr.. Price aud the case will be
strongly contested as it proceeds.

AFTER The GRIPPE
Vinol Restored This Mans
Strength

Several years ago I was attacked by
a severe case of grippe, which left me
with a hacking cough, soreness in nv
chest, and bronchitis. l took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
1 received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol,
and after taking three bottles l was
entirely cured.
1 believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
1t does what is claimed for it." R. E. R.
Hicks, Maplesville, Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but nc oil.
Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and rundown persons, and after
sickness.
