And the more you anaIyze that fact the more will
its Importance grow upon you.
why should this be true Of the Cadillac "Thrty"

the car possess over others that makes II as

The answer 10 almost disappointingy simpIe:-
Because no other car In the history Of the In

President Speight.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The State Farmers Alliance was
wise in selecting DIR. r. III. Speight, of
Edgecombe, as its president. DIR.
Speight is a fine type of the country
physician, farmer, legislator. He is
one of the States best physicians in
city or country, and illustrates the
truth that to find ability in North Car
olina you do not have to go to town.
He is a successful farmer and has
done much to give Edgecombe it's
high place as a leader in agriculture.
Not in quarter of a century has
EdgecOmbe sent a more useful, capa-
bic legislator to the State Senate. If
the pestiferous politicians of the self
seeking school had not in the early
nineties obtained too much power in
the Alliance, that great organization
would have been tenfold more useful
to the farmers. All the time DIR.
Speight has t'kept the rlldder true
and has never followed false gods. 1t
is to such leaders that the farmers
must look.

towns show of the public spirit of

towns and also, such other literature
concerning those towns which they
may procure. Were they to do this ii
would surely broaden their view, fo1

men whose examples of civic pride
and public spirit are inspiring and
worthy of emulation.
| A very recent exhibition Of gener-
Gus giving to his home town was that
| of Thomas r. Proctor, a citizen OF
Utica, New York. He gave to his
town a system of eight parks a tota
of more than five hundred acres Of
land.
Utica is a large city and this prop.
erty given, being within the city linn
| it's, must be of great value.
| In the account of this generous Civ.
| ing no mention is made of the wealth
he is not a man of great wealth. Ger

A BALD.HEADED WOMAN.
ShOrn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
i'm Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to offset such a dis
fgurement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars he1
beauty happiness and success. Yet
right here in Goldsboro, there are
thousands of women who are neglect
ing or injuring their hair to such an
extent that it is only a matter of time
when it will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty OF
hair through thoughtlessness or ig-
norance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over-heated, or to ex-
cess, which destroys the natural oil OF
the hair, causing it to split, break
and come out. They do not shampoo
their hair often enough, or too often
They use soaps or preparations which
contain ingredients positively harm
full to the scalp and hair.
AS result of such treatment, dan
druff is created, the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out, and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt
precautions are taken in time. Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves
of dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair if they will bat use the right rem
edy. We have that remedy, and we
will positively guarantee that it will
either cure dandruff and -balGness OF
it will not cost the user anything.
That's a pretty broad statement
but we will back it and prove it with
our own money. Rexall ''s3' Hail
Tonic is the remedy that will grow
hair and overcome all scalp and hail

Plunkett, white, mail clerk, en-

arrested by three government officers
on a charge of transporting whiskey
while in the employ of the govern
ment as a railway mail clerk.
The defendant brought a quart of
liquor in with him this evening, which
he turne dover to a negro, later claim
ing that he gave the liquor to the
fore, but had not sold whiskey at
any time.
The preliminary hearing was set for
August 27. On account of the ina
bility of District Attorney A. E. Hol-
ton to be present, he being at this
time engaged in the Breese trial in
Asheville.
Bond was fixed at one hundred dol
lars and was quickly furnished. The
young man bears a good reputation
here and the charge against him, be-
ing of serious nature, has caused
his friends some anxiety, they ex-
pressing the hope that he will be able
to satisfy the district attorney that he
has not violated the United States
laws.

prohibition laws in any wise, it is un-
