| wish to announce my candidacy for
the second term as Treasurer of Robe
son county, assuring my friends of my
continued intention of faithfulness, fl

HOW to Avoid App endicftis.

Most victims of appendicitis are
those who are habitually consti-
pated. Foley's Orino Laxative
cures chronic constipation by
stimulating the liver and bowels
and restores the natural action of
the bowels. Foley's Orino Laxa-
tive does not nauseate or grippe and
is mild and pleasant to take. Re
fuse substitutes. Sold by all drug
pists.

Threatening Anonymous Letters
Received by Mr.. D. M. Hamil-
ton-Ordered to Leave Town
or Die the Death.
On Friday Mr.. D. M. Ham
ilton, Seaboard agent, told Chief
of Police F. J. Floyd that he and
one or two others at the Column
bia hotel had received anony-
nous letters to the effect that if
they did not leave that day they
would be killed Friday night; and
Mr.. Hamilton asked Chief Floyd
to tell Mr.. A. C. Bridgers, night
policeman; to keep a close watch
on the hotel that night to
see that nothing happened. 1t is
said that shortly after he came
to Lumberton some months ago
to assume the duties of agent at
the station Mr.. Hamilton received
a threatening anonymous letter
or two, but no attention was paid
to them and so far as known the
sender Of the letters has not been
located. AS Mr.. Hamilton did
not leave town Friday night it
would seem to have been up to
the sender or senders of the
anonymous letters to start some
thing, but maybe they lost their
nerve-it is more than likely,
rather, that they never had any
nerve to begin with; senders of
anonymous letters are usually
distinguished for their lack of
courage-or maybe it was only
tomfoolery, no harm being meant.
Anyway, nothing has happened.
Mr.. Hamilton went to Raleigh
Saturday, but it is said that he
was called to his old home by the
death of his brother.
Nothing definite has been learn
ed as to just what was the. occa-
sion for sending the threatening
letters.

All taxes due by me to the coun-

Joked With His First Name.

When Mr.. Smith went into the cabi-
net the northern papers showed dis
position to regard him as joke. They
had all kinds of fun with his first
name, playfuliy changing it to Hocus-
pocus and other irreyerent forms. 1t
did not take long, however, to discover
that the wearer Of the nameSwas big
man In his way, big enough to live
down any name or any efforts of the
funny men relative thereto. This fact
dawned even on the jobesmiths, after
which Mr.. Smith was treated with re-
spect. A man cannot help his name
any more than he can help being fat or
having warts. Considering its distin-
guished origin, HOke is very good
name indeed. AS for Smith. no one
would think of rejecting on that
any more than he would of>refiecting
on the attraction of gravitation. To
paraphrase what Lincoln said of the
common people, the Lord must love the
Smiths-he made so many of them.
We hear much these days of vari-
GUS kinds of consciousness, class con-
seriousness among the rest. What the
Smiths need is family consciousness
or name consciousness that would
cause them to stand together. The ar
dor for their common patronymic
should so burn in their bosOms that 1t
would consume to ashes all such minor
differences us Smythe and Schmidt. es-
pecially Smythe. Any kind of con-
seriousness that would obliterate Smythe
should be hailed as a public benefac-
tor. After the simplified spelling board
finishes with such words as ''thO" and
| "kist' it should get busy with Smythe
and q few other proper names
