CUPS MUST BE SANITARY.
Proposition to Have Individual Drink
ing Vessels on Trains.

The board of health has won the
first round in the fight with the rail-
roads over the common drinking cup
on passenger trains in Kansas The
board of health found the cups I'M
sanitary, so an order was issued re-
quiring the railroads to establish in
trains and at stations an individual
cup vending machine and to remove
the cups from the trains.
Here the board of railroad commits
sioners called a halt as it asserted that
the removal of the cups would be an
impairment of service of the lines. The
whole question was then checked up
to the attorney general He held that
1T was not only the power. but the
duty of the board of health to prevent
the spread of infectious diseases and
if it found that the drinking cup is
unsanitary the board should abolish it
and the railroad board had no author
ity to stop it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Beaten for Demanding Wages.

Greensboro, N. c., Nov. "A
special from Wadesboro, N, c., says:
LAS the result of an alleged as
sault upon Guy Madden, employed as
cook for a construction gang on the
Winston-Salem Southbound railroad,
working about 10 miles north Of
Wadesboro, warrants have been is
sued for c. E. Smith, superintendent
of the gang; Walter Young, Smiths
assistant, and another man going by
the name of 'Dago Sam According
to Madden's story he was discharged
Tuesday and demanded his wages.
He says that Smith drove him from
the camp with a shotgun and threat
ened his life. Madden came to
Wadesboro and after reaching here
received a telephone message from
Smith that if he would come back to
the camp he would receive his wages.
Madden says he returned to camp
and was attacked by Smith, Young
and the other man. He was knock
ed down he claims, beaten and kick
ed and then carried off in the woods
and left. Madden states that they at
tackled him because he had attempt
ed to collect his months wages.
When he was lying on the ground, he
says, he heard one of the men ask If
he was dead and then he says they
lighted a match and after an exami-
nation decided that they had killed
him and, he charges, carried him to
the woods. He claims he heard one
of the men say that they had better
hide the body.

Suicidal Policy of the Lumberplan

The numbering industry is Destroy
ing itself by allowing fire to follow
it's operations. In all of the great
lumber regions of the country, the
saw mill has taken the cream of the
forest products, fire has taken the
rest, and in no case has any State or
region long held supremacy in the
great business of lumber production,
the fourth greatest interest of the
country. Under rational forest man
agement and protection from fire
there is no reason why State natur-
ally endowed with forests and occu-
pying a high rank in the production
of lumber should not continue to
hold it's position. But the history of
the lumber business of the United
States has been, from the beginning,
a repetition of exploration, exploita-
ton, and exhaustion. The sequence
has been due primarily to fire.-Bris-
tow Adams.

eventually be wiped out. He de-
clares that the "hook worm" disease
is the "real problem of the SOUTH

CRIME IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Trio of Negroes Strip and Whip Far
mer and Attack his Wife.

Sutton. w. Va. Nov. 1.-Two Or
ganized parties of men are securing
the hills of this county searching for
two negroes believed to have aided
Charles Lewis. also negro, in das-
tardly assault upon Mrs. Mary Lock-
hold, wife of prosperous farmer,
today near the small settlement of
Exchange. If the negroes are caught
lynching is not improbable.
Lewis, the only know member of
the party of three, who are thought
to have been implicated in the deed,
is dead, having been shot and killed
by a posse of men late today while
endeavoring to escape, near this
place.
According to Deputy Sheriff Will
liams, the three negroes late last
night went to the home of George
Lockhold, living but few miles
from this place and after tying the
farmer to tree and whipping him
on his bare back with willow switch
es attempted an assault upon Mrs.
Lockwood. Persons who happened
to be passing the Lockhold farm
heard the screams of the woman and
the negroes fled at the approach of
the passersby.
A posse of farmers was organized
within short time and after twen-
ty-four hour hunt, Lewis, one Of the
supposed trio Of negroes, was appre-
hended. AS he turned to flee from
his pursuers, after being ordered to
throw up his hands, he was shot and
instantly killed.
Late last night news reached here
that one Of the pursuing posse sur
rounded the two negroes in a swamp
near the scene of the crime. The
courier who brought the news of the
imminent apprehension of the men
said lynching could not be averted
if they were caught alive.
At midnight a telephone commu-
nication was received from GassaWay
stating that two negroes thought to
have been implicated in the assault
on Mrs. Lockhold had been captured
near that place and placed in jail.
Men with rifles are said to be guard
ing the Jail against possible lynch
ing party.
