Why Does Not
The Stomach
Digest Itself?
An Uhsolvnble Problem, Which Has
Puzzled Physicians of All Schools.
A Trial Package of tunrt' Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

There seems to be no logical reason
the stomach should not digest
itself when we consider the fact that ~
secretes digestive fluids and ACIDS
CRATE and digest meats, eggs, fruits.
cereals, vegetables and other forms OF
food taken into IT.
In animals which were killed while
in fun digestion, the stomach has un-
dergone complete self-digestion after
death, when The body was kept warm;
and in human beings who have died
suddenly, while digestion was going
on. 1t was found at the autopsy that
not only had the stomach been digest
and portions OF the intestines.
The question naturally presents 1t
self. What protects the stomach from
self-digestion during life?" DR.. Hunter
In living things protected this organ
from being digested by It's own fluids,
jbut DIR. Barnard successfully demon
s,rated that the hind legs OF q living
or artificial opening into the stomach

and DR.. Pavy, through similar expert
ment, found, that the same was true
of a rabbit's ear.
While the normal stomach is imnlune
from tself-4lgestion, there are many
cases on record, however, in which q

DEMANDePAYM[NT
FN.C.STATE BONDS
Formal Communication From
Treasurer Of State Of Rhode
Island.
Especial to The Times Dlapatch.1

Especial to The Times Dispatch.1
Raleigh N. c., January 13.-Statc
Treasurer p. II. Lacy received this
evening the formal demand on the
part OF the state Of Rhode Island for
North Carolina to pay $4Si,0o0 OF
North Carolina State bonds. issued in
tho Reconstruction period, and later
rcpudiated by the state as fraudulent,
tho bonds being a gift to Rhode Island
from the bond syndlcates. The de-
mand came from General Treasurer
w. A. Reid. OF Rhode Island, and is
counteraigned by Attorney-Gcncral ".
3. Grccnough.
The reply sent by Treasury Lacy
| was to theicffect that he noted Treas
urer Reds expression that Demand
was renewed for payment" but that
he Iacy) had been Treasurer for nine
years, and that this was tho first de-
, mand received. AS to the bonds, ho
said:
Many OF the bonds Issued during
tho Reconstruction were held fraudu-
lent and illegal by our Supreme Court
and were ~repudiated by the people,
our Constitution now having u clause
prohibiting their payment. In order,
therefore, that / may know whether
the bonds you mention are among
those, above referred 1t, 1T Is necessary
that you give me the dates of their
issue, and also the act OF Legislature
under which they were Issued. On.
receipt OF this information. / shall he
glad to write you what I understand
Will be done in this matter"
The letter Of Rhode Islands Treas
urer demanding payment enumeratcs
the purpose for which the bonds they
hold wcre issued. as follows: Fifty
bonds for construction OF the Will
mington. Charlotte and Rutherfordton
Railroad; thirty bonds for construc-
ton OF the Western North Carolina
Railway: twenty bonds for Atlantic,
Tennessee and Ohio Railroad: fifty
bonds for construction of the Western
North Carolina Railway; twenty-five
bonds for construction of the VIII
Hanson and Tarboro Railroad.
Treasurer Reid states that one and,
in some cases, two coupons have been
paid or clipped from each of the
bonds. But 1t is said in the Treasury
here that there has never been any
payment at all. Tho donors of the
bonds are supposed to nave cut off the
missing coupons for some possible
legal advantage in getting up litiga-
tions for collection.

MAY CUT SHORT ROOSEyELTs
TOUR.

The death of King Edward will UNI
doubleday change the future program
laid out for the travels and recenaions
of ex-President Roosevelt. The va
rious courts of Europe are so closely
related by the ties of blood as well
as of royal interest, that the death of
a monarch of such prominence as the
King of Great Britain will plunge ev-
cry court into the deepest mourning
for a long period of time. The EN-
peror of Germany is a nephew of King
Edward, the Gar of Russia is the
brother-in-law of the deceased mon
arch, the King of Spain is his son-in-
law, the widowed Queen is of the
House of Denmark, and there are other
ties, not so close, that bind the reign
ing family of England to those of the
other great European nations.
Roosevelt is scheduled to visit Ber-
lin next week. On May IL he is down
on the cards to deliver an address
before the University of Berlin on
Mans Progress" Special arrange
ments had been made for his reception
and entertainment by Emperor Will
liam. Almost royal honors were to be
paid to the American visitor. Proba-
/ bly, no feature of his travels has been
| looked forward to with greater inter-
est by Roosevelt, and the world-at-
large. than his meeting with the Ger
man ruler That there may be meet
ing is not improbable, but it will be
shorn of all the display that would
otherwise have marked it but for the
demise of King Edward.
On May IS Roosevelt Is down for
an address at tn university of Ok
ford on Biological Analogies" and d
degree is to then be conferred upon
him. He was also to have been re-
ceived by the King at Windsor castle
To what extent his program will be
changed is not yet known, but it is
evident that it must be to large de.
gree amended.
Indeed the death of King Edward
has shorn all of the latter part Of
Roosevelt's European itinerary of it'
glory. Whatever is done will be o
a most sudbued nature. The addresse:
: may be delivered, royalty may be visit
ed, but the conditions will be thost
/ surrounding homes in deepest gloom
Under such conditions it would no
be surprising if good taste, and tn,
etiquette that governs royalty, did
! not dictate the entire annulling of TIN
; Roosevelt program from now on.

WEEKLY EDITORS INLET
HERE IN FEW WEEKS.
Probably $50 Will Attend
Meeting at Americas.
Auto Ride and Barbe-
cue VIII be Among
Entertainments.

The next big gathering that Ameri-
Gus will be called on to handle in its
usual good style, and one that will
advertise it to an extent that will
probably be greater than any conven-
ton held here in recent years, is the
assembling of the representatives of
the Weekly Press Association of the
state in July.
Anywhere from one hundred to two
hundred newspaper men will be here
on Tuesday and Wednesday, July u
and 10.
The Georgia Weekly Press Associa-
ton is one of the leading organizations
of editors and publishers of weekly
papers in the South. 1t was organ
lied number of years ago, and has
increased in membership and influence
every year, until now it embraces on
its rolls nearly all of the weekly pa
pers of the state.
This is the first time that Americas
has been honored by the association
meeting here.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the entertainment and handl-
ing of the visitors. 1t is probable
that the matter will be taken up at
the meeting of thu Board of Trade next
week
An auto ride. over all of the roads
of the county and a barbecue at the
close at Holly or Myrtle Springs is
suggested as one of the entertainments
that would be highly enjoyed and ad-
vertise the county to the visitors.
The association will hold it's BUSH
ness sessions Tuesday morning, after
noon and night. Wednesday morning
it closesMgP its business and leaves
at noonTGa the Seaboard, for Rich
land, where the entire party will be
picked up by special train provid-
ed by the Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama railroad, and go to cambridge
where the steamer Callahan will be
taken for a trip to Apalachicola, Fla
One day and night will be spent OF
the Gulf.
Whatever entertaining is dome il
Americas will have to be arranged fol
Tuesday afternoon. The association
) while it enjoys a frolic, does not neg
lect it's business affairs. 1t is prob
able that a special committee of the
r Board off Trade will be appointed K
: arrange some evidence of Americas
! hospitality occupying the greater por
' ton of the afternoon of Tuesday, Jul,
II.
I Americas is such a beautiful small
e city, and the county has such won
derful evidences of progress and pros
perity to show to the visitors, tina
! there is no doubt the weekly newspa
r pers of the entire state will contain
\ many articles dealing with the rich
ness and forward movements of Sum
ter after the Press Association ha
held its meeting here.

THE PASSING OF A PEACEMAKER

The death of King Edward VII Of
England, removes one of the greatest
factors for the continued peace of Eu-
rope. 1t was but few days ago that
an observant and we'll advised writer
on conditions abroad wrote as follows
of the monarch who has just passed
away:
King Edward is deservedIy popular
with his subjects, and is probably the
best liked man in the United Kingdom
today. His services of diplomatic
character on critical occasions since
his accession to the throne have been
of inestimable value to his country.
1t is only the historian of the future,
privileged to scan over archives and
monuments which are at present a
sealed book, that will be able to tell
how many international quarrels have
been settled, how many wars have
been averted, by the tact and urbanity
of the peace-loving monarch"
Edward has long been acclaimed as
the 'Peace-making King" If the title
has been justly applied to him, if
the tremendous influence of his royal
position has been thrown into the scale
at critical moments to avert war, then
he has been for the past decade or
more one of humanity's greatest as
! sets. If he goes down into history un-
der such title it will be one of the
rarest honors that has ever come to
any ruler of modern times. To have
Kept nations from plunging into bloody
strife, to have saved untold thousands
of lives and countless millions of
treasures to have kept two great DOW
ers from deluging the earth with hui
man blood, with bringing untold hor-
ror and misery and suffering upon
each other-is it possible to pay any
greater tribute to any man than to
say that he has been instrumental in
such an achievement. If King Ed
ward VII. has done this, if this is the
kingly record to his credit, then the
world may well forget the escapdaes
OF younge" years, may well erase the
recollections of period when resnon-
s'bility did not rest upon his should
ers may we'll destroy the pages that
tell of incidents that were not hevond
severest reproach, and remember him
only tor the grandeur of his efforts
III holding back the hand that would
strike a deadly blow, in keeping chain
ed the dogs of war, in curbing tn
passions of men whose unloosing
meant destruction, death and ruin on
a scale so vast that mankind might
well shudder in anticipation.
To be pacificator is an even great
er honor, and so mankind will recog-
nize it in coming time, than to be a
conquerer. Christ himself put the
crown of praise upon the peacemakers,
blessing them above all others. For
they shall be called the children of
God" runs the Holy Writ If the
truth of history justi'ies The title, and
there is every evidence in current
opinion that it does, the world may
well bow rs head in grief that Edward
VII has passed to the t9mh of his
fathers.
