attack that was made on the administra-
ton canal bills this afternoon by the rep

from Buffalo 10 New York In an informal
talk with the Governor IN the executive
chamber in the afternoon several Of them
were not backward in telling the Chief Ex-

Of Consulting Engineers, Improved Canals,

The opponents of this measure look on II
merely as a scheme TO give the Democrats
control Of the terminal commission, which
is now made up of Republicans. before IT'S
report IS submitted 10 the legislature The
report is now nearly ready. The only other
result Of the legislation which they can see
is 10 delay indefinitely the securing Of canal

Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.

Dandruf is a contagious disease

rid of them, and a single stroke Of

If you happen to be troubled with
dandruf, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We are so sure of
this that we offer it to you with the
understanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
the most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know Of
nothing else that equals it for ef-
fectiveness, because Of the results
it has produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall "93'' Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when its loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
naturally silky, soft and glossy. 1t
Goes this because it stimulates tfe
hair folicies, destroys the germ mat

circulation Of blood, which nourish-
es the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We

The Kick of the Fly.

In days of yore, on the traditional

round her ankle predatory to an
aviation fight could be to the great

GAVE THEM A CHANCE.
Judge Aliens Disposition OF Three
Bad Boys.

Judge O. H. Allen, presiding at
the present term of Superior Court,
has warm heart and it is in the
right place. Yesterday afternoon
three young men, aged perhaps be-
tween 20 and 25 years, were convict
ed Of larceny in entering a store at
Gibsonville. One entered a plea of
guilty and the evidence was so plain
that a verdict was reached without
the jury leaving the box. Asking
them to stand up, Judge Allen de-
livered lecture to them and to all
in the court room. He said he had
a word to say to the grand jury
about the neglect Of children pro-
ducing criminals and that this case
was one of them. He did not want
to send them to the roads, so he fin
ally entered an order that they be
confined in Jail twelve months, with
power in the county commissioners
to hire them out to some farmer.
AS stated the incident shows his hon
or's heart is in the right place; he
may have erred, but it was on the
side of mercy. One of the young
men, however. if not more. is an
incorrigible. His father has spent
enough money On him to buy a farm
or two and finally had to abandon
him. An officer present in the court
room said another Of the trio was
as crooked as a man could we'll be
and still another officer told the
boys when returning them to jail
that they would remain with a farm
er only long enough to get well fed.
when all of them would run away.
But Judge Allen has given them
chance and it is up to them to leaC
abetter life or go still deeper in tIle
depths. Greensboro Record.

SCOTLAND NECK, N. c, THURSDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1911
The Real Hey TO the Situation.
Up around West End, Jackso

Up around West End, Jacksor
Springs, Eagle Springs and other
centers of population in the western
end of Moore county a movement in
real estate similar to that which has
attracted so much attention in the
lower end of the county, is taking
place. A large amount Of land is
being cleared up and a good many
new farms are being developed.
Just as soon as the northerly end of
the county wakes up to the value of
good roads and gets busy building
thom the boom will be felt in that
section. No region which lacks good
roads or the intention to construct
them can ever hope to share in the
prosperity Of more progressive sect
ions. Farms that cannot be reach
ed easily and from which markets
are not readily accessible will never
find quick sale and good prices un-
less they are believed to have min
ing or other unusual possibilities.
Of course a farm that has a gold
mine or an oil we'll on it will sell
anywhere, but if cotton, corn, fruit,
truck OR general farm products
must be transported to market or to
the railroad, the improved highway
is the key to the situation. Then,
too. in these days real live farmers
do not care to buy where they must
slowly toll through sand six inches
deep when they can find farms else
where where they can get to town
in half the time and with twice the
pleasure. Southern Pines Tourist.
