Armenian.

& The commemoration OF the fftieth
centenary OF the Armenian alphabet
will remind those who know their
"Romany Rye" of Bellies remark,
when the author tried to teach her
Armenian, that 1t sounded more like
the language Of horses than Of hu.
man beings. Armenian piles up the
consonants terribly; thus, the word
for ITO kindle''' is "prrigthsnel." An
indeterminate vowel sound helps such
accumulations out: but even so Ar
menian is not a. beautiful language.

Mrs. D. A. MCGEE, Waycross, Ga,

which settled into a chronic cough
which kept me awake nights for fully

The effect Of taking your cod liver

1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods 1iv-
ers aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties Of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient
for chronic coughs, colds and bTon-
chitis-at the same time building up

Severely Wounded.

On Saturday night the spirited
horse of Mr.. J. C. Moore Of Rural
Scotland Neck while standing in
front of Allsbrook & Boyette, sud-
denly became frightened as Mr..
Moore was about to get into the
buggy and jumped off in run down
the street hurting Mr.. Moore from
the buggy and causing several slight
wounds which rendered him nncon-
scious. His neck and face were
Scared up and his arm suffered a
sprain. The horse ran down Main
street and as he made the curve
from the west side in front Of the
Victoria Theatre the buggy struck q
telephone pole and was smashed tc
pieces as the horse tore loose from
the harness and made his way down
the street.
Mr.. Moore was at once carried ir
the Scotland Neck Furniture store
where he was examined by physi
clans and found that the wounds
while painful, were hardly serious
as it was first suspected by those
who saw him fall as the frightened
horse sprang away. The horse was
finally caught and brought back tt

THE MEXICO TROUBLE.

With the United States in cottrol
of Vera Cruz, the Mexican port, and
her big war dogs off the Tampico
coast waiting for the signal from
Uncle Sam to seize this port it would
seem that the Stars and Stripes in
an emergency would float over the
Greaser Country. Yet while these
mammoth dreadnaughts loaf outside
the ports waiting for orders to storm
the cities on the coast American cit
liens in the interior are being i'm
prisoned, mobbed, insulted and hui
inflated by having their flag tramp
led on before their very eyes and
curses and insults heaped upon their
wives and daughters by these coffee
colored cut-throats Of Huertadom.
Instead of proceeding into the inte-
rior and rescuing these un-armed
citizens of the United States from
the daggers of these Indians, these
fighters of the Navy have also taken
up the "watchful waiting policy of
their Chief and stand by while Old
Glory is spit upon and her followers
insulted in the interior. If this is
not enough to justify Congress in
declaring war against Huerta and
his Federal followers, pray what will
it take to get Congress peeved

action? A flag of the United States
