a PUBLIC BENESII.
Lumberton People Greatly!nter-
ested in the Generous Offer of
J. D. Mcmillan & Son

The people havealready demon
strated that they would rather
trust a man who is naturally hon
est than one who is honest only
because he had to be.
J. D. Mcmillan & Son have a
firmly established reputation for
square dealing and sterling hon
esty. When they told the people
that Rexall Remedies are the pur-
est and most dependable medi-
clnes that it is possible for mod
ern science to produce, and that
they would tell the public what
each one Of these $50 or more
remedies contained, and that they
sold keNall Remedies on their
personal guarantee that they
would give entire satisfaction O.
they would not cost the user a
single cent, they were believed.
Ever since this announcement
}. d. Mcmillan & Son have been
largely patronized by people buy
ing Kexall Remedies, all of which
proves that the storI tas the con-
tidence of the Peep le and that
honesty is the best policy.
! There is no "cure-all' among
the Rexall Remedies. There are
different and separate medicines,
each one divised for a certain hu.
man allment or a class of ailments
closely allied. For instance Rex.
all Dyspepsia Tablets are recon.
mended for the positive relief Of
stomach irritation, indigestion,
tlatulency and dyspepsia. They
are rich in Observation-Disclosures
Pepsin and Carm1natives. They
are prepared by special processes
which perfect and enhance the
great remedial value of these
Well-known medicinal agents
This remedy sells for Is cents, 81
cents, and sl.OO per package. Ev
cry one suffering from stomach
disorder should try Rexall Dys
pepsia Tablets, inasmuch as the,
cost nothing if they do not salts
fy.
Remember, ]. D. Mcmillan
Son is the only store inLumberto
where these remedies may be OF
tanned. and every onein need o
. medicine is urged to investigat
and take advantage of the fran
and generous manner in whic
they are sold.

The officers elected by the voters of
the city are a mayor and four council
men, who hold Office for two years.
The five compose the city council or
commission, and it has the general
legislative and executive powers over
municipal matters. Nominations for
these five officials are made by di-
rect primaries without regard to party
affiliations.
The two candidates for mayor and
the eight candidates for cOuncilmen

eligibles for these Offices to be voted
upon at the municipal election. On

The five members Of the council or
commission have a right to vote on
every question brought before it, and
the affirmative vote of at least three
is necessary to pass any resolution or
ordinance. On every vote the law re-
quircs the yeas and nays are called
and recorded. The mayor has no pow
err to veto any measure passed by the
council.
The executive and administrative
powers, authority and duties are di-
vided among five departments. These
are the department of public affairs,

Every ordinance. franchise and con-

public service corporations must be
submitted to a vote Of the people for
approval.
The council also appoints a civil
service commission of three members,
and 1t holds examinations upon the
basis Of which all appointments of
city employees are to be made. The
law on this point is designed to sub

cities that may try this form of gov.

councilmen and 4 mayor to be the re-
sponsible heads Of the city govern
ment. The council is empowered to
fill any vacancy that may occur in ii
between municipal elections.
The proposed municipal ballot is a
novelty. The bill provides that any

majority. then the second choice vote
shall be added, and the candidates
receiving a majority Of the aggregate
of such votes shall be entitled to the
