county circuit court for $4,000 dema-

members of the Woodmen OF the
World in that county on Tnanksgivin
night. Tie suit was filed by Sidney
Smith and w. II. Malone.
The arrests were made at Hopkins
store IN that county. willie the four
soldier boys were doing patrol duty.
The suit was brought for malicious as
sault and false arrest. The Toys are
ali Greensboro boys and are at home
and state that they arrested the men
Of the Cargo Of carrying concealed
weapons and for congregating, as they
had strict orders against letting any
persons congregate on their beats, "
and when these men were arrested on
that charge they were searched and had
revolvers concealed on their persons.
hTey were taken to tine camp and
held till morning wnen their trials were

PENDANTS state that the men arrest

were carried win the stocks exposed,
and that they had ridden 10 miles with
them.

against the Owensboro boys, is the

local company and the boys say that
Sweeney became very much enraged
with them for making the arrest The
case will probably be called at the
March term of the Caldwell circuit
court, and the boys will put In their
appearance. They say that they do
not fear but that the action will be
dismissed as they were only perform
ing their duty. One of the boys
says that the men were taken 20 the
camp and were given the best treat
ment while in their charge, and that
after they had been placed in the CAM
that they were out Of their charge as
the captain appointed guards for priso'

Value of Raw Apples.

Many persons fancy that raw apples
are indigestable, and only endurable
in the early morning. Doubtless the
old sdage, that fruit is gold in the
morning silver in the middle of the
day and lead at night, is to some ex-
tent answerable for this erroneous
impression.
Dieticals tell us that ripe raw APP
pies contain more phosphates in pro-
portion to their bulk than any article
OF food, fish not excepted. A recent
writer on this fact boldly de-
clares that in this lies the secret of
healtbful longevity. They correct bill
liousness and act as a sedative up
ON the racked nerves and allay in
somnia.
Eat uncooked apples constantly al
though, of course in moderation, and
drink distilled water only. and years,
will be added TO your life. while the
evidence of age will he long in coming
This argument is based on the sup
position that as age advances the de-
posts OF mineral matter IN the sys.
tenn increase and that aging is iitsae
more than gradual process Of cssi-
Hcation.
Phosphortc acid contains the least
amount Of earth salts, and for that
reason. 10 probably the nearest APP
proach to the elixir OF life known to
the scientific world.
u you want to live long, to retain
your youth at the same time and to
increase your brain tissue, eat plenty
Of apples. drink only distilled water a.
eat as little bread sspossible.
Tart apples are far more wholesome
than sweet and all. like potatoes,
should be fully ripe when eaten.

she given a mothers love and care.
Her life was one that many should

she is at rest and she will still be

''Ihe promises of reform upon
which the present governor was elect
ed, the platform alleges, have moi
been kept. We point as proof Of
this fact to the expenditures Of 1907,
which are larger than the extravaganl

Of Governor Hughes. We charge him
with the responsibility for this waste
and with giving his time and atten-
ton to the pursuit Of spectacular
methods and sclf-advertising issues
rather than to the work of reform
and retrenchment upon the proceeds
of which he was elected governor two
years ago. We insist that in this
most important feature Of his admin

miss. Instead of cutting off the tax
eaters from the list of oflice-holders
he has caused new ones to be added
to it, and i'll the two public service

a conference Of State leaders which
occupied greater part of last night.
The ticket decided upon by the lead

and the nominations were made with
great enthusiasm until the Office of
State engineer and surveyor was
reached. The conference candidate
for this Office was Philip p. Farley, of

Senator McCarren, amid the cheers
of his supporters, took the platform
"to resent an insult.' He declared
the nomination of Farley was agreed
to without any regard to the Kings
county delegation and was intended
to embarrass them. He declared he
would always support democratic
nominees, but would not hold himself
responsible for the action of people
who felt themselves insulted. Farley

The Jewish festival of New Year
falls this year on September 25 and
the celebration Of the still more i'm

Nhe large Jewish community in

with services at the synagogues and
preparations are now under way for
the observance of the festivals.

custom among semitic peoples to

About 1000 people on the Tuamotu
Islands, thousands Of miles out in the
Pacific, are now living in state of
destruction and wretchedncss and is
scarcely parallelcd in any other part
OF The world. They are the victims Of
the great storms of 1908 and 1905.

Their story is printed in the Bulletin
OF the Comite de l'Asia Francaisc,
from the pen of Father Bracconi one
OF the Roman Catholic missionaries in

The Tuamotu Islands form the
most extensive of the archipelagocs
controlled by France in Oeeania. They
comprise eighty little atolls, marrow
rings of corral rock rising a few feet
above sea level and enclosing lagoons
Though they arc scattered over an
area 700 miles long and 200 miles
wide, the total land surface comprises
only about 2l5,000 acres.
Nearly 5000 natives lived on twen-
ty islands before the storms of 1908
and 1905 reduced their number. MANY
