There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires con stitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney. & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken intern
ally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the bloot
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for an,
case it fails to cure. Send for circular
and testimonials. Address:

York-Urges Break From Sem
timent and Traditions of Past.
New York Dispatch. 7th
President-elect William H. Taft,
who came to New, York to-day
to addressthe North Carolina
Society of this city, was given a
tumultuous reception tonight
by the members of the organiza-
ton and by prominent men from
all parts of the South, at the an
nual dinner of the North Caro-
linians at the Hotel Astor. Five
hundred members and guests of
the society filled the brilliantly
decorated banquet hall, which
was redolent of the pines of the
Tar Heel State, the cones and
branches of the resinous trees
forming the background for more
fragrant blooms which were
scattered everywhere over snowy
linens and fag-draped walls. In
tertwined ensigns of the State
and nation were conspicuous in
the decorations of the banquet
hall and larger flags were dis
played in front of the hotel
throughout the day and eve
ming.
Mr.. Taft, in the course of an
address which was confined en-
tirely to the South and its prob
lens, urged again that the
voters of the South should break
away from the out-lived senti-
ment and traditions of their past
political affiliations and cast their
ballots in accordance rather with
their economic and real political
beliefs. Mr.. Taft declared that
nothing would give him greater
pride during his coming term in
the Chief Executive Office thar
to 30 direct the policy of the
national governmentwith respect
to the Southern States as to con
vince the intelligent citizens Of
the South of the desire of his
, administration to aid them il
| working out satisfactorily the
serious problems before them anC
of bringing them and their North
ern fellow citizens closer ant
closer in sympathy and point o:
view.
2 At the conclusion of PRACTICAL.
every one of his pointed senten
ces Mr.. Taft was interrupted b,
applause and cheering. He frank
ly expressed himself regardin!
t the so-called negro question
and declared that neither he no
the Republican party had an
c idea of forcing upon the peopl
2 of the South the dominance O
t an ignorant class.
i Mr.. Taft declared that tn
d North yearns for a closer assc
e citation with the South and quot
n ed statistics to show that tn
h industries of the South ha
r grown and prospered more dul
S ing the past decade than an
# other section of the country. A

The appearance of many of the

Geo. B. Mcleod has torn away
the fences around his home on
the corner, Of Elm and Fifth

appearances by substituting stone
curbing. The same thing has
been done at the home of Mr..

of Sixth and Walnut streets, MAX

mentioned some time ago in The

was an eyesore, has been chang
ed into a sunken garden, and the
fountain which was mentioned
then has now been placed.
All of these improvements and
other minor ones that have been
made about town have improved
the appearance of things wonder

The changes here noted have
been mentioned without notes

notable have been overlooked.

Recommends Electrocution and
Court of Inferior Jurisdiction.

The grand jury of the recent
term of Cumberland Superior
Court made the following recon-
mendations in it's report:
eve believe in this enlighten-
ed age that hanging a man is
barbarous and recommend to
our representatives to the Legis-
lature that they introduce and
try to have passed a bill that all
persons sentenced to death shall
be taken to the State peniten-
tiary and electrocuted.
'The grand jury has been
struck with the large number of
cases coming before it for inves-
tigation and for trial in court,
and believes that many of them
ought not to be permitted to take
| up the time of a court which
costs as much to maintain while
in session as does the Superior
Court, and recommend to ou1
members of the General Assem-.
bly, that a court Of inferior juris-
diction be established which car
promptly dispose Of the crimina
cases, thus offsetting a saving il
the Jail account and the insolven
account. We believe such cour
would save money many times it
cost to the taxpayers.
1T has been suggested that
! county court with a judge and
jury when demanded would com
, near meeting the present cond
5 tions, and recommend that a
8 act be passed providing for sue
a court. "

six weeks work to be done yet.
Mr.. Meade himself is in charge of
a camp on the east rapids of the
Rainy river, about fifty miles west of
International Falls, and be is thor
oughly convinced of the feasibility of
draining the northern swamp lands.
Already 5000 square miles have
been surveyed since 1906, and there
remains only about 500 square miles
to be gone over. To complete this
work will take, in the estimation of
Mr.. Meade, about six weeks. He
expects to finish the work before
cold weather and will then return
with his reports to Washington, D.

drainage condition of northern Min

HENRY FUNKLEY GIVES HIS

Promises If Nominated and Elected to Give His Best

Henry Funkley, candidate for re.

being asked about his views concern

Il have seen My opponents plat
form, and I am not going to run a
race with him in making election
promises. I suppose that if would
try I could make as many promises
as he can but I am not going to do
it. I made some promises before
the last election when I was running
for county attorney, and many. is
the time that I was afraid that
could not fulfill them. ~, -

about whether I will be able to &C
complish what I should for the dis
trict, in the event that I am elected,
than I am concerned about my
