the capital stock was increased
to $50, 600 without any effort, and

plus of $50, 900.

An individual who is either a
democrat or a republican, even,
from principle, is respected for
his convictions. The fellow who
''holds with the hare and runs
with the hounds" cannot hope to
have the confidence of those who
esteem principle above the indi-
vidual. The democrats Of Hen
Jacksonville are fighting for what
they conceive to be right. JUS
tice is on their side, and they de-
serve to win hands down..

HE~NDERSONVILLE, N. C.
WELL done.

The democrats of Henderson
vile have again taken a firm
stand upon principle in the nomi-
nation of a straight ticket for city
officers, and did themselves proud
in naming the splendid men and
progressive citizens selected by
the convention on Monday even
ing of last week. All except MI.
Bennett have faithfully and ca
pably served this municipality for
the past two years, and this is a
sufficient guarantee that in their
election, the affairs of the city
will be wisely administered for
the coming two years.
Mr.. J. A. Bryson, who has made
a good record as a member of the
Board of Aldermen, voluntarily
retires. and, upon his motion,
Nh. Foster Bennett was named
to succeed him. Mr.. Bennett
is thoroughly fitted for fireplace.
and has a very strong following
in the town, which his candidacy
will attract to the democratic
standard. The other excellent
gentlemen w h 0 complete the
ticket need no commentator
from US. Mike Schenck, Elem
Brooks and Mac Rhodes have been
tried in the balance and found
not wanting. Search the town
from center to circumference and
you will not find four men who
are more willing or capableo of CIV
ing Hendersonville a wise, health
full and progressive administra-
ton. No feasible reason can be
assigned for the failure of loyal
democrats to support the ticket
from top to bottom.
1t gives this newspaper great
pleasure to commend the action
of the democratic convention, and
it becomes the imperative duty
of every democrat to bestir him
self in the contest that is now on,
looking to the continuance of
efficient government in Hender-
vile.
All differences, whether per-
sonal'or political, if such exist,
should be put aside. Each name
on the ticket represents a man OF
high character and unQuestioneC
ability to discharge faithfully the
duties Of the various positions fol-
which they have been nominated.
and there is every reason for pre-
dieting a signal victory at the
polls on Tuesday, May 9Th.
The beginning is hopeful. May
the conclusion be equally pleas
ing.
No municipality in the state hat
made greater progress during tn
past two years than Henderson
vile, and the favorable condi
tons now existing are due largel,
to the commendable efforts pu
forth by Mayor Schenck and hi
cabinet Of wise councillors.

"The Gun Runnerr

Some very estimable people are prone to say the day of romance is dead, killed by the advent of steam and the civilization that the latter's enginery has created. These sighers for the old days ought to get hold of Arthur Stringer's new book "The Gun Runner published this week by B. w. Dodge & Company.
 If there's any part of modern in Vention that deserves the term TO- mantle it's the electrical part; if there's one bit of electrical apparatus that has that element more than any other, it's wireless; and if there's any man can get romance fairly oozing out of things electrical it's Stringer, You remember his Wire Tappers," of course: story that held your breath and made your heart beat quick through every one of it's $50 pages. Here's story that's bigger, faster, better, and full of the spirit of that wonderful in- ventiOn that goes lingering out over the broad, patient seas.

THE INSANE RUSH
 IN PROBATE COURT
Two Commitments to the Asylum Yes terday.

All other business in probate court was again set aside yesterday to at tend to the insanity docket The first case was that of William H. Stewart, an old mining man who was arrested on the complaint of his wife who for weeks has felt that her life was in danger. He had frequently assaulted her but she had borne it all until yes terday morning he struck her with a brick
 Stewart has been a resident of the territory for thirty years and until re- gently lived at Globe. He had been married for nine years. Not long ago he sold his Globe property and came to Phoenix but most Of his time and that of his wife has been spent at one of the mining properties owned by him. He is about sixty-five years of age.
 Jack RiOrdan was brought over from Tempe charged with insanity. He had been arrested two or three times be- fore on that charge but had been dis missed Lately he has been threaten ing the citizens of Tempe He was committed along with Stewart and
  CT by Deputy Sheriff Adams accom- panied by Jack White.
 Some thing happened after they got to the asylum that made MT Adams believe that the court had made no mistake when it sentenced Riordan There was no one in the asylum office and White went to look for an official while MT. Adams stood in the doorway of the room guarding the two patients.
 Riordan was sitting in a chair about eight feet from him looking down a position he had held all through the proceeding of his commitment and the subsequent ride to the asylum. Sud- denly he sprang from his seat at the officer. So quick was the movement that the officer had time only to turn his head and receive a glancing blow on the cheek. He seized Riordan by the throat and threw him into a cor ner where he subdued him aftera brief struggle. He then looked about to see what had become of his other pris- oner, Stewart. That patient was hold ing Riordan by one foot and he re- marked to the officer: This is a bad man: he'd kill a fellow"
 Constable Sigala who brought Rior- dan over from Tempe said he would be back with another patient this morning Word was also received at the office of the sheriff that George Deiters who had been temporarily dis charged by the court last Monday. was at the home of Joe Lambaye yester- day making trouble

"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME"
 Tales That Are Told.

q was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me" says a N Y woman. You just couldn't convince me its use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble suffered from most of the time.
 My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost en- tireIy for three or four years. still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such damage.
 What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form as my stomach could digest.
 ''I had read much about Postum. but never thought it would fit my case until one day I decided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about it. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions.
 Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other di- gestants and itswas not long before I was really a new woman physically.
 Now I am healthy and sound, can eat anything and everything that comes along and I know this wonderful change is all due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I need ed through this delicious Postum.
 My wonder is why everyone don't give up the old coffee and the troubles that gu with it and build themselves up as I have done. with POstum."
 Easy tn prove by 10 days trial of Postum in place of coffee. The re ward is big.
