$500 Saloons Closed in Ohio.

Columbus, OHIO, Nov. 23.-Pro-
prietors of more than $500 saloons
in Ohio closed their places of busi-
ness last midnight in accordance
with the provisions of the State
Liquor License law, which limits the
number of saloons in "wet' terri
tory to one for each 500 population.
The saloonkeepers who quit busi-
ness had been refused licenses by
county license boards. The ma
jority of the saloons net permitted to
reopen are in Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Columbus and Toledo.
The License law has been attack
ed as unconstitutional by the dis
appointed liquor men and arrange
ments have been made to carry a
test case to the Supreme Court.
Many saloonkeepers disposed of
their goods last night at "bargain
county" sales. In some places the
cries of auctioneers were heard.
Several well-known winerooms eel
ebrated the closing of their doors
with balls, special music and other
attractions.

Suddenly he turned to her and
cried, "I'm dub!'
'No," she said fcndly, you don t

others do, perhaps, Tee-hee!"
YES" he persisted stubbonly.
"I'm a dub"
NO." she maintained.

She was a sensible girl, and real
izing that he ought to know best,
she thanked him kindly for warning
her in time and handed his hat to
him. 1t was only after the door had
slammed behind him forever, that
she realized the awful truth.

A SLEEPY HOLLOW LANDMARK.
Passing of Treaty Tree Under Which
WASHINGTON Irvinq Wrote

Washington Irving's great treaty
tree at Sleepy Hollow, in the Phlipse
Manor section, lost its last three leaves
recently. Tourists and visitors have
noted with much concern for over a
year that it was dying. 1t is twenty
feet in circumference at it's base 1t
had bravely wi;ilstood the disease that
has destroyed most Of the chestnut
trees throughout the east. and it is
probably the last to die in the Sleepy
Hollow and Tarrytown sections.
This monarch Of the forest is known
in history as the tree under which the
last treaty was made between the
whites and We4uaSqueek Indians.
Under its romantic shade also Irving
wrote his famous THE Headless
Horseman." with scenes laid at
Philipse Manor.
Although the treaty tree is practical
ly dead, it will not be felled and de-
stroyed like hundreds of its fellows
there. It is to be preserved. ana long
trailing towering vines have been
planted about its base to cover it com

Vital Statistics Law Effective.

Beginning November 18th, the
Statewide Vital Statistics Law will

gone into effect six weeks earlier
had not delays occurred in getting
out the necessary blank forms. etc.
However. there will still be SIX
weeks in this year in which the To-
cal registrars. doctors, nurses, un-
dertakers and others may get ac-
customed to the new law. After that
North Carolina should have almost
perfect registration. which will en-
title us to recognition as reglstra-
ton State along with about twenty
three other States in the Union.
Any one desiring to register births
and deaths that may have occurred
prior to the time the law goes into
effect may do so by presenting the
facts in the case to the State Regis

SCOTLAND NECK, N C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER A. 1913.
The Modern Newspaper.

The time was, and it has not been
SO long ago, when it was considered
high treason for a newspaper to say
a word that could be construed as a
criticism of party policy or party
leader. The political bosses were
lambasted only by the opposition
papers, and they were discredited Of
course. by the following whose chief
claim to political distinction was
that they had never scratched a
ticket. Now all this has changed,
and those newspapers are the most
popular and the most influential that
speak the pam truth aboat men
and things and bend before no party
pressure. The party organ that at
one time was looked upon as the
proper and necessary exponent Of
party policy has fallen into disre-
pute. Its day is over. The inde-
pendent journal has come into its
own, and the more independent and
fair and truthful it is in it's edito-
rial expressions the larger the place
it holds in public favor. This is
good omen of the better day ahead.
We were little better than slaves un-
der the old regime. We are free
men now, and our newspapers voice
the day Of the new freemen which
has come. We IRE beginning to
look back with horror to that dark
tine in our history when it seemed
necessary to bow our heads to the
yoke, ard submit to whatever our
political bosses saw fit to put upon
Us. Party loyalty is none the less
binding because the members Of the
party are free to exercise their own
judgment--it is more so. because
freedom inspires loyalty where slav-
cry represses it. The newspapers
that bring us the tidings from the
great world beyond, tell US the truth
about our own party politics as we'll
as about those of our opponents,
and thus put us in possession of the
facts from all sides. and make US
more intelligent voters. 1t is a
great mistake for a party or church
to cover up the truth. If cause can
not stand white light of truth it
ought to go down. The editorial
pages of the modern daily paper
have become reliable and valuable
and therefore the increasing power
and influence Of these independent
journals. Charity and Children.

changeabIe Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

Dr. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio.
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes, it is the climate, not the germs.
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure.
and are of some significance in
diagnosis Climate, changeable
climate, is the true cause Of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies. the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area Of high pressure forms In
the northwest. Moves rapidly SOUTH
east, subjecting millions Of our
population to it's influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands OF
people catch cold. A small per cent.
of these thousands do not get well OF
their cold. It goes into pneumonia.
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis. or
laryngitis. or pleurisy.
Now, what am getting at Is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health. with
excess vitality. this Is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some of US must have assistance.
The assistance that I use for myself.
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
If the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
If the parents. the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are SO well known which precede
a cold, few doses Of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. 1t keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclemcrt weather Of
winter.
