For some time Mr.. James A. Rob-
inson, editor of the Durham Sun, has
been engaged in the very laudable
undertaking of raising funds with
which to place set of chimes in st.
Philips Episcopal church in Dur
ham. The idea was conceived in
spirit of gratitude to the Great
Physician for his recovery from a
severe illness and operation which
came very near terminating fatally.
When it's great prize contest was
announced by the News and Observer,
some of Mr.. Robinson's friends made
the suggestion that it would be the
handsome and graceful thing to vote
for him and thus enable him to win
one of these prizes to help along his
chimes fund. A good idea which the
GOLD LEAF heartily seconds. Mr..
Robinson's friends throughout the
State can help him to make the
chimes ring all the sooner and more
sweetly by dropping in few votes
for him-sending their new subscrib-
tions and renewals to the News and
Observer and telling them to place
the ballots on the Durham Sun man.

AFRAID TO TAX DOGS.

Again a bill comes forward i'll the
Legislature to Ia xdogs. And again
it goes down in defeat. Fact is, the
average legislator is afraid tp tax
dogs. The NANCY, sheep-killing eur
and his sovereign bird-killing owner
are a power in the land, and the law
makers stand i'm awe OF them. But
there ought to be dog tax-suffi-
Gent to reduce the number OF hall
starved. worthless hounds and mon
grels-in the interest OF sheep hus-
bandry and to lessen the menace OF
hydrophobia to human beings On
this subject the Rich Square Roam
oke-Chowan Times says:
No owner OF a good dog would OBJ
iect to paying taxes on him II the
owner OF every other dog had to pay
taxes in like manner. We need a law
similar to the one in force in a num-
Der of States to encourage sheep
raising. Let every dog over three or
four months old he taxed one dollar
each. and the fund derived from this
tax be applied in paying for stock
killed or damaged by dogs, the
amount to be paid not TO exceed the
tax valuation of the stock killed or
the amount the owner paid for them.
II YOU favor a law of this kind write
to your representative and senator
at once giving your views OF the
matter.

The teachers and pupils OF Donna Vista
school at Bearpond enjoyed an excursion
to Raleigh last Friday. Prof. Green, the
principal, was in charge and everything
possible was done for the pleasure and
enjoyment Of those who made up the
party. Needless to say the children had
good time. Among those who had
visited the capitol before not many had
enjoyed the privilege OF looking in upon
the Legislature in session. The visitors
were highly pleased with this experience
and the cOurttsies shown them by the
gentlemen from Vance. Representative
Bennett Perry and Senator Henry Powell
both came around and made the whole
school feel at home
The trip was delightful one to all,
the railroad doing all they could to con-
tribute to the comfort and pleasure OF
the party. Special cars were furnished
for the exclusive use OF the school, and
with one OF the best conductors in the
person of Capt. Lassater to look after
us nothing was lacking. We were met
at the station in Raleigh by that high
toned Christian gentleman, Capt. A. &.
Green, father of Prof. Green, who gave
us warm welcome and started us of
feeling that we had captured the city
without firing gun.
1t was very pleasant outing and oil
seemed to enjoy themselves. We know
the r. F. d. man did any way.

both Senator Overman and his new

few days ago. The. Times says:
Mr.. Martin is a "Franklin county

years, been the private secretary of

Movement for Good Roads in
Virginia.

Commenting editorially on the
aims and objects of the Good Roads
convention which met in Richmond
last week. the News Leader, of the
10th, says this among other things:
No body of men that ever assem-
bled in Virginia has undertaken bet
ter work for the State than the Good
Roads convention, meeting here to-
day. Those OF us who have been
hammering away on this subjec so
many years that we have feared at
times the public would sicken at the
very mention of roads, find vast en-
couragement in the constantly in
creasing evidences of intense and
active interest among the people.
Most of us can recall the time, not so
long ago, when apparently there was
no interest The Virginia public
seemed to have fallen into a condi-
tion OF hopelessness and apathy and
to feel that nothing could be done or
would be done for the Improvement
of our highways. Now in every part
of the State there is q very earnest
demand that something shall be done
and a strengthening purpose to do
it. When people and politicians and
local leaders of thought unite in the
belief that certain work is necessary
and possible, the work is in fair
way toward accomplishment. One
of the chief uses of the convention
will be to put abroad practical in
formation on road making, to ac-
custom our voters and property
owners to realize the fact that good
roads are necessary and that they
cost money along with the convic-
tion that they offer the most profit
able investment for public funds that
can be made Millions must be spent
to provide Virginia with a proper
system OF roads, but we know from
the experiences of other States and
communities that millions so used
return many more millions.

INTERESTING FACTS
W. w. Parker Offers to Cure Catarrh
The Medicine Costs Nothing
II He Fails.

When a medicine effects a cure i'll 80
per cent of cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guarantee
that it will cost the user nothing it it
does not cure Catarrh, it is only reason
able that people should believe us, or at
least put our claim to Impractical test
when we take all the risk. These are
facts which we want the people OF Hen
dersOn to substantiate. We want them
to try Rexall Mucu- Tone, a medicine pre-
pared from prescription of physician
whose speciality was Catarrh, and who
has record OF thirty years of cures to
his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive more
good reports about Rexall Mucu- Tone
than we do OF all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store and if more people only
knew what a thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be
the only catarrh medicine we would
have any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and carried by the blood until it
thoroughly disinfects and cleanses the
entire mucous membranOus tract. de-
stroys and removes the parasites which
injure and destroy the membranous
tissues, soothes and heals the irritation
ana soreness. stops the mucous uls-
charge, land builds up strong, healthy
tissue, relieves the blood and system OF
diseased matter, stimulates the muco-
cells, aids digestion and improves nutri-
ton until the whole body vibrates with
healthy activity. In comparatively
short time there is a most noticeable
gain in weight, strength, good color and
feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Mucu-Tone, begin
ming treatment to-day. At any time
you are not satisfied, simply come and
tell us, and we will quickly return your
money without question or bubble. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. SOC
