RECOMMENDS ELECROCUTION.

The Grand Jury OF the recent term
Of Cumberland Superior Court made
the following recommendation in its
report:
We believe in this enlightened age
that hanging a man is barbarOus and
recommend to our representatives to the
Legislature that they introduce and try
to have passed a bill that all persons
sentenced to death shall be taken to the
State penitentiary and electrocuted.'
That is what the GOLD LEAF has
advocated for years past-that all
persons sentenced to death shall be
Immediately taken to the penitentlary
and there executed. We do not care
whether the method OF their taking
off he hanging or electrOcutiOn, that
is a mere detail and the feature oil
barharism has nothing to do with it.
But the States prison is the proper
placefO all executions to take place.
1t is also "barbarOus" to murder
people and make widows and or
phans and all that sort OF thing, but
in this day OF maudlin sentiment
only the criminal at the bar or the
convict under sentence find any sym
pathy and all kinds Of pleas anC
defenCeS are made to defeat the ends
OF Justice and save them from The

When Taken Suddenly lIl---Here is a

Big, strong man is as helpless infant

The, sturdiest chap in town usually
loses his self control, and is utterly
unable to regard his condition with the
common sense that characterizes his
every day actions.
For example: He comes home tired
eats a heavy dinner and sits down to
read and smoke away quiet evening.
Suddenly he notices a weight on his
stomach; then sharp pains around his
heart, and feeling of suffocation.
Thoughts OF heart disease rush over
him. and in his agony he fears the worst.
His trouble was acute Indigestion
| brought on by overlooking his tired
stomach
\ couple of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
would have given him instant relief
| would have saved him hours of suffering.
Carry package of Rexall Dyspepsia
| Tablets in your vest pocket or keep them
in your room. Take one after each
heavy meal, and indigestion can never
! bother you.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets cure stomach
troubles by supplying the one element,
the absence of which in the gastric Juices,
causes Indigestion and dyspepsia. They
enable the stomach to digest all kinds of
food and to quickly convert it into rich
red blood.
We know what Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are and what they will do. We
guarantee them to cure Indigestion and
dyspepsia. If they fail, we will refund

POLITICS NOT RESPONSIBLE.

under mortagage in front of the
court house, and it was such Il re-

crowd gathered. Goods and chat
tells being sold under mortgage, and
cotton selling at $ cents, which is
equal to about > cents II and u

If Mr.. Bryan had been elected,

All very true, and yet neither Taft
nor Bryan has anything to do with
it. Politics is not responsible one way
or the other. Taft is no more charge
able for the low price of cotton and
the selling of cattle and other things
under mortgage since his election
than Bryan would have been if he had
been elected. But the howl would have

than it is against Taft if the result OF

Judge Meals Resignation.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte observer.
The resignation of Judge Walter
II. Neal from the Superior Court
bench, which was announced in this
paper yesterday, took his friends by
surprise, as there had been no init
nation of an intention of this kind Oh
his part. He made good record as
a Judge and whatever the cause
which prompted him to quit the
bench the fact remains that an able
and just jurist has retired to private
ranks. Under the system of rotation
required by the laws of this State,
much hardship is added to the ordi-
nary labors of the circuit Judge, and
as to the salary-few good lawyers
fail to make more in private prac-
tice. We suspect these causes are at
the bottom of Judge Meals resigna-
ton.

TOP HEAVY SCHOOLS.
Supt. VIM. Davidson Criticises Our
Course of Study.

Kansas City, Nov. 1O.-""The course
of study in our American school syS-
tenn has become topheavy," Prof. w.
NJ. Davidson. superintendent of the
Omaha public schools. declared last
night in an address before the Mer-
camille club of Kansas City, Kan, at
its monthly dinner in the Grund hotel.
In explaining the present status of
the American system of education,
Prof. Davidson told of the enlarge
ment of the college and university
curriculum from a few branches or
studies of a century ago to the vast
schools of 100 studies of today. He
said the high schools in the cities are
modern institutions in which thirty
or forty branches are taught, while
the elementary schools have been as
marvellous in the development as the
college, the university or the high
school.
Yet he declared. eve are at
tempting to do too much. mot. Fealiz-
ing the limitations of chiIdren's
minds. Our teaching is at the high
est point of intensive efficiency, and
the high school graduate of today
knows more that is of practical bene-
fit than the Yale or Harvard gradu-
ate of fifty years ago But the cry
essential from the courses of study
and the simplification of that which
remains. that which fits men and wo-
men for the practical things of life"
Prof. Davidson said the school sys-
tenn was on trial as it never had been
before, though he had yet to find one
OF the writer's of magazine articles
criticising the schools who knew what
he was writing about.
But he asserted, there is a just
criticism coming from the taxpayers
who are asking what they are getting
for their money"
Manual training, he insisted, is just
as essential to education as mathe-
MATES. English. Latin or Greek He
could see in the vocational training
of the schools of the future a higher
efficiency that would count for much

grow up side by side. That is what
