happen in the naval battle of the future and to lay
their plans accordingly.
While out batleshps. even though some OF them
built full twenty years ago. continue In fash.
ion, a very different fate has befallen the steel
monitors which once ranked next to battleshipS
in the estimation OF our naval authorities and
everybody else. Uncle Sam had nearly dozen OF
these armored monitors-a distinctive Yankee In
vention that originated during the Civil war-but
they have all been sold off relegated to ignoni-
nous duty. This fate has even befallen the Ne
vada, the FLORIDA (later the Tallahassee) and the
others Of the quartette of modern monitors which
constructed for coast defense. only a little
more than a decade ago and cost million and a
half dollars each.

Others Some OF these have already been retired
from service while others are yet employed for

tleships can not readily find anchorage. However
they have neither the speed the armor to
enable them to take hand in up.to-date warfare
on the seas as It would be conducted in this day

Since the navy department found that adequate

viceable in far as seaworthiness is concerned
It has been considering the suggestion made by a
number OF congressman that these vessels be
turned to the naval militia OF the various
states for use training ships or practice ships
Vessels such as the cruisers Charleston and St
Louis would be ideal for such purpose

FREE If IT FAILS.
Your Money Back if You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine We
Recommend.

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve
constipation. no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
It is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. LaXatives or
catharUics do much harm. They
cause q reaction, irritate. and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a hab-
it that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness Of the nerves and mus
cles Of the large intestine or des-
cending colon. To expect per-
manent relief you must there
fore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them
to healthier activity.
We want you to try ReXall
Orderlles on our recommends
ton. They are exceedingly
| pleasant to take, being eaten like
candy, and are ideal for children,
delicate persons, and old folks,
as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and
muscles Of the bowels. They
apparently have a neutral action
on other associate organs OF
glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness, nol
create any inconvience whatever
They may be taken at any time
day or night. They will posi-
lively relieve chronic or habitua
constipation, if not Of surgica
variety, and the myraids Of as
sociate or dependent chronic all
ment, if taken with regularit.

Astounding in misrepresentation.
They unanimously adopted a
resolution condemning its use in
Southern schools and colleges.
1t was characterized as toe
Wilful, wicked and slanderous
to go unchallenged by the
Daughters. Another resolu-
ton was adopted calling upon

Married Women Emancipated.

Married women are emanci-
pated. A twenty year fight is
ended. North Carolina takes
her place among the progressive
States of the Union in regard to
the rights of married women
over their own property. Such
is the effect Of q decision, Rea V.
Rea. handed down in the Su-
preme Court a few days ago.
This decision gives married wO-
man the same power over her
property that she had before her
marriage. The many intricacles
and nazy uncertainties Of the
rights Of married women over
their own property are swept
away: the last remnants of the
medieval idea that a WOman's
property became her husband
on her marriage are banished
from our law. Marriage does
not any longer affect any proper
t. a woman may own prior to
marriage or acquire after mar
riage. 1t is hers and subject
only to her wishes. For twenty
years Chief Justice Clark has
held in such cases the position
now taken by the Court, and this
decision sustains his position.
The opinion is written by Chief
Justice Clark for the Supreme
| Court. 1t settles this veXatious
question for all time.
