Prohibition in Virginia.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle
Abingdon seems to be the ONLY
town in Virginia that has had the
nerve to 90 wet. and that it so went
must have been a surprise to the vets
themselves, for it was a radical de-
parture from the custom of the day.
Abingdon occupies lonesome place
in the Old Dominion, for the sweep of
prohibitiOnin Virginia has been a re-
markable one, according to the state
ment made by the Anti-Saloon
League and published in the Rich
mond NeWs-Leader. According to the
report of that organization as to
what was accomplished during 1903,
Danville, Winchester, fredericksburg
Lynchburg and Roanoke, among the
cities, voted dry during the wear The
towns of South Boston, Houston.
Suffolk, Smithfield, Manassas and
Culpeper voted against saloons and
Pulaskivoted out dispensary. Basic
City, Edinburg and New Market,
already dry" confirmed this choice
by another election. Gordonsville
and Orange are dry by court orders;
Richmond has reduced its number OF
saloons by S3; Norfolk by 10: Norfolk
county by 60; Newport News by %;
Portsmouth and Petersburg by 10
each. TIE total number of saloons
closed by election, by court order,
municipal restriction or by the new
law is 3O5; so social clubs have sus.
pended operations and 20 distilleries
have ceased to operate. Since 1906
the number of saloons has decreased
from l ,lO2 to approximately 700.
Norfolk, Newport News and Rich
mond remain wet strongholds, while
half a dozen or more Virginia towns
are operating dispensaries. The anti
saloon league expects toroot out the
dlspensaries during the present year
while the country at large will be in
terested TO see what success may at
tend the league campaign in the three

Overman.
Newton Enterprise

Newton Enterprise
Hon. Lee S. Overman just been
elected to IA second term OF SIX years
as United States Senator. His
nomination by the Democrats in
caucus last week by unanimous
vote was a we'll deserved compliment
to an able and faithful public servant.
During his first term in this highest
legislative body in the world. Mr..
Overman has measured up fully 10
the expectations of his friends when
he was chosen six years ago after a
prolonged contest with able ana
worthy competitors. He has not
only been alert and faithful in all
things wherein North Carolina was
concerned. but he has measured up
we'll in the assemblage of the big men
from all the States. In influence and
ability, he has IL position in the front
rank
Long before Overman went to the
Senate, he was noted FOR his good
sense. conservatism and orthodox
democracy. He WAS not n candidate
for every office appointive and cleo
tive, and kept not his eyes toward a
weather vane to detect the first shift
ing of the wind. When the free silver,
10 to l, wave from the wild West
bore down upon the South he was
not among those who FASTENED to
get on the crest of the wave. And
while our grand old Democratic
President was laying strong and firm
the foundations for long rule OF
eight principles OF Government, he
was not among those who helped to
pull down the pillars OF the temple
upon our heads.
Since he has been in the Senate, he
has kept steadily i'll the same straight
course.
The election, occasionally, in the
South of men like Overman OF North
Carolina, Daniel of Virginia and Joe
Brown of Georgia to high Offices by
the Democratic party, affords the
best ground for hop" that the time
will yet come when the people OF the
whole country will be convinced that
the Democratic party has become
purged of the radicalism and heresies
that dragged it down in 1896 and is
again worthy OF their confidence.

GROWS HAIR ON
BALD HEADS
Bald Headed People May Get New
Chance in Life,

In these days when youth is the NOV
ing factor in business; when a man
makes his mark at thirty five and is
ready to retire at forty five; when bust
ness houses pension the man we call
middle aged rather than allow his
tagging influence to intrude upon the
commercial rush, bald head is almost
fatal to any mans hope. The folio wing
must therefore prove interesting to
people who are losing their hair or who
are bald
ResOrcin is one of the latest and most
effective germ killers discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicide anti
septic, a combination is formed which
destroys the germs which rob the hair
OF its nutriment and also creates clean
and healthy condition of the scalp, which
prevents the deveioment of new germs.
Pilocarpin is a we'll known agent for
restoring the hair to its natural color,
where the loss of color has been due to a
disease of the scalp. Yet. it is not a
cOloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as a stimulant perfacts the
most effective remedy for hair and scalp
trou' les.
The famous Rexall '93" Hair Tonic is
chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta Nap
thol and Pilocarpin. 1t makes the scalp
healthy, nOurishes the hair, stimulates
the follicles. Where the head is already
bare, it enters the follicles, revitalizes the
roots, supplies nourishment and stimu-
lates a new growth.
We want you to try few bottles OF
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. on our personal
guarantee that the trial will not cost
you a penny if it does not give you
absolute satisfaction. That's proof OF
faith in this remedy and it should in
| disputably demonstrate that we know
what we are talking about when we say
| Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic will grow hair
on bald heads, except of course. where
badness has been of such long duration
that the roots of the hair are entirely
| dead. the follicles closed and grown over,
and the scalp is glazed.
Remember. we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been &C.
eomplished by the use of Rexall '.93''
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done to hrn.
dreds OF Others it will do for you. In

Senator Lee S. Overman.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun
Not in recent years has the DOmO-
cratic part Y with such unanimity and
heartiness endorsed q man for the
high office of United States Senator
as it does Senator Overman for his
second term, says the Wilmington
Star. Being an endorsement for n
denomination after six years service
makes the action Of the party all the
more complimentary to him. audit Is
q compliment we'll merited by the
course he has pursued i'll the Senate
and out OF it during the six years he
has served his State as one OF her rep
resentatives at the National Capital.
ANY man would be devoid OF human
feeling if he did not feel fiattered at
the manner of his rel OminatiOn by
his party, and we know that it is with
feeling OF pride that he accepts this
manifestation of his peoples conf
dence in his ability and earnest pur-
pose to serve them well and faith
fully. He has perfect right to feel Il
pride in his reelection. He has taken
81 position in the Senate and before
the public very seldom acquired by Il
Senator during his first term. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that during
the six years he will grow in influence
on the floor of the United States Sen
ate and among the department Of
ficials to far greater extent than dur
ing his first term. Such Il Senator
reflects credit Oh his State and ele-
Yates her TO her proper position in
the sisterhOOd of States.

The Homestead Exemption.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
The Legislature shows a disposition
to do something to the HOMESTEAD ex-
emption law in this State. This is OF
course in response to somewhat
more or less popular demand. 1t has
been agitated for some time by vari-
Gus commercial bodies. The law was
passed soon afterthe war and served
IL good purpose The people had just
emerged from n four years war poor
in pocket and worn out; many
scores-were in debt, unable to pay
through no fault of their own, LETT to
the mercy OF unyielding creditors.
Under these conditions the home
stead exemption was passed and it
was wise. In addition it prevented
worthless husbands from squander-
inc the homes that sheltered wife and
children, but it is now claimed. and
with some truth, that it is working a
hardship, not only on honest credl-
tors, but to the man OF small means
as well, often preventing him from
obtaining credit where he could pro-
fit. In other words, an honest, up
right man. having no more prop
prty than the exemption amounts to,
is turned down; he is classed as hav-
ing no credit and suffers thereby.
But. strange as it may seem, this
privilege * being abused more and
more rs the years 90 by, for scores
OF people seem to have just realized
that they can buy and cannot be
forced to pay, no matter what hap
pens BY hook or by crook they
manage to obtain credit from the
merchant or tradesman, then pop
their fingers and say get it if you
can
It's knottyproblem, but the Leg
islature may solve it.

Going up the Hill Just to Come
Down.
Smithfeld Herald


Why should a magistrate issue n
warrant and constable serve it and
after a trial pass it on to the Supe
rior court where jury and Judge
carry the case along and convict and
sentence the man, when Il sympa-
thetic Governor is nearby to reverse
it all and pardon them? 1t really
looks like struggling to get up the
hill just to come back down. For
years there have been entirely too
many pardons. We think so many of
them have q tendency to increase
crime. Men know that if they are
convicted tits very probable they can
get out of the trouble by applying to
the Governor. We are not satisfied
to leave so much to one man. The
State should have a board of par
dons whose duty it will be to pass on
all applications for pardons.

Schroeder were found guilty by a jury in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn late yesterday afternoon of grand larceny while president and second vice~president respectively of the Eagle Savings and Loan Company and were remanded to jail Justice nal bail bonds of $40.000 each. The de- fendants hid any disappointment that may have attended the verdict and appeared less concerned that the jurors or former Senator Thomas Whitlock. their counsel.

Whitlock said that his head was in such muddle as result of the verdict that he hadn't been able to think of plans for the future, that he didn't knoV whether he would try to obtain a, mitigation of penalty or take an appeal Sentence will be pro- nOunced on Monday unless the defence requests more time.
 The contention that a man is not guilty of larceny if he takes money with the intention of returning it. as MT. WhItlOck held on Tuesday night, was the only defence offered, and that was weakened by the refusal of Jus to show a disposition on the part of the defendants to make restitution of the moneys they had borrowed sur reptitiouSly from the loan company by means of worthless checks carried as cash. MT. Whltlock said that these checks served sort of memoranda and that their very existence proved the absence of felonious intent. With out felonious intent, he contended, no larceny can exist.

Preserving Hints.

The first consideration Is preser,,
Ing kettle of brass polished until lus-
trous and with no stain of fruit.
This is the sort of vessel used by
the old-fashioned housewife and the
jellies of our grandmothers have never
been equaled.
Porcelain kettles should be dis
carded as soon as they commence to
crack and tin, iron or pewter should
never be used.
The best jelly bag is-a long one
made OF flannel, which is made In q
point at the bottom.
This should never be squeezed in
order to hasten the dropping or a
discoloration Of the fruit will result
In selecting fruit the greatest care
should be taken to see that 1t is moi
overripe.
Berries that have been picked more
than "a hours are too old to make
good jelly and preserves.
A cheesecloth bag will be found
useful in straining the fruit through
the colander.
