Young Lady Found.

Sunday afternoon our people were
much aroused when the report was
given out that Miss Effie Fauver, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. NJ. Fauver,
had disappeared from home that morn
ing while the family was at church,
and could not be found. A note was
found in her room 'stating that she
knew she had been a care to her. peo-
pie, and that she was going away"
Immediately several hundred persons
began search for the young lady, go
ing out on every road leaving the city.
That night about 2 O'Clock phone
message was received from several
persons on the Thacker's Mill road say
ing they had seen young lady an
swering Miss Fauver's description pass
ing that way, and some of the search
ers went out there and at the home of
Mr.. p. NJ. Livick she was found, hav-
ing been taken in and cared for by his
family, she having asked there for
shelter. She at once agreed to return
home, and came in with Mr.. w. G..
Bosserman near neighbor, and was
soon safely with her distracted parents.
Miss Fauver's act is attributed to Sc
we're mental strain due to poor health,
which has existed for nearly year.

Cheer Bryan at a Taft Rally.

For ten minutes Saturday night a
great crowd that had gathered in San
Francisco for ratification of the Taft
Sherman ticket, cheered itself hoarse
for VIM. J. Bryan, while the leaders in
dismay, vainly tried to check the out
burst. But small enthusiasm had been
manifested, and the cheering for Taft
had been perfunctory, when Congress
man Julius Kohn took the platform.
In the course of his remarks he referred
to the introduction in Congress by John
Sharp Williams of currency bill, and
declared that Williams had attempted
to have read into the record an editori-
al by Bryan in the Commoner. The
mention of Bryan's name acted like a
charm, and hundreds were instantly
on their feet, cheering like mad. For
ten minutes pandemOnium reigned, and
today Republicans are doing some tall
thinking.

Republican managers deceived when
they think that an aroused public will
calmly contemplate the encroachments
of predatory wealth ? This is retreat
number six.
''The convention, by vote of S66 to
fillmore than seven to One-vOted
down the plank in favor of the popular
election Of United States Senators. 1t
is true that the President and Secreta-
ry Taft have never advocated the pop
ular election of Senators. They seem
to take the HamiItonian rather than
the Jeffersonian view, but the most
popular reform in the United States
today is the reform that has for its OBJ
ject the election of United States Sena-
tors by direct vote
ENDORSED BY REPUBLICANS.
sit has five times been Endorsed by
the National House of Representatives
three times when the House of Rep
resentatives was Republican. 1t has
been Endorsed by nearly two-thirds of
the States of the Union, and there is
probably not State in the Union in
which it would not be Endorsed at a
popular election, and yet in spite of the
record made in the House of Represen
tatives and by the various States, this
reform is rejected by a to vote in a
Republican national convention.
''There are seven propositions upon
which the Republican party, in ma
tional convention assembled, has re-
treated from the position taken by the
President.
"What have Roosevelt Republicans
to say? The President has awakened
a spirit of reform within his party. He
has at least revealed to the world that
there are reformers in the Republican
party. Can that spirit now be quelled
by stand-pat convention.
"Millions of Republicans have enlist
ed at the Presidents call to arms, and
are ready to march forward. Will they
furl their banners and turn back mere
ly because the President acquiesces in
the sounding of a retreat"

A NEW DRUG LAW.

RADICAL CHANGES AS TO MERCHANTS
AND EVEN PHYSICIANS-A CRIME TO
SELL COCAINE-WHAT MERCHANTS
MAY SELL AND HOW
The last legislature made radical
changes in regard to the sales of medi-
cines in the State of Virginia. In the
first place they advanced the state
board of pharmacy to position almost
if not quite equal to that of the board
of agriculture. They provided room
for them at the capitol and made an APP
preparation of $4,000 for their support.
They left the making of many regula-
tons, which have the force of law, with
the state board of pharmacy and at its
recent session that board made some
changes which it will be well for mer-
chants and even physicians to know.
PHYSICIANS NOT TO SELL MEDICINES.
Under the law as it now stands as all
it's provisions have gone into effect, no
physician is allowed to make any
charge for any medicine supplied any
of his patients. In prescribing mar
cotics, opium, morphia, or similar ar
ticles, the physician must put on the
prescription the full name and address
of the patient and sign it with his full
name
SELLING COCAINE A FELONY.
To sell cocaine is now felony,
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary. The possession of CO.
caine is regarded as prima facie evil
dence of selling except that it may be
handled by druggists, physicians, den
fists and veterinary surgeons.
COUNTY MERCHANTS.
Merchants are allowed to sell certain
drugs, but under various regulations.
In original packages only can be sold
tincture of iron, quinine, calomel, sweet
spirits of nitre, cream of tartar, essence
Jamaica ginger, paregoric, laudanum
in packages not over two ounces, and
proprietary medicines, but the label on
the latter must contain distinct state
ment of the disease or diseases for which
it is intended and the directions for its
use. If it contains any poisons the
label must show the quantity. This
applies to druggists as well.
In broken packages they may sell the
following, but each package put out by
the merchant must bear label show
ing it's contents and must have the
name and address of the merchant sell
ing.
The articles included in this list are
alum, sulphur, borax, copperas, salt
peter and EPSON salts.
The board will grant permits to mer-
chants to sell for one year the follow
ing, which cannot be sold without per-
mits and which can even then be sold
only in original packages; Bateman's
Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, Devices
Carminative, Opedel Dock, Number
Six, Blue Stone, Paris Green, London
Purple, Carbolic Acid and Insecticides
or poisons used for destruction of pests
or diseases of trees and plants.
The above information is of much
value to merchants and should be care
fully studied.
