WITH TEARS AND QUIVERING
LIPS MR.. GRANT GAVE THANKS
Purse of Gold Given COngressman
Grant as Appreciation of Valued
Services for This City.

With quivering lips, flowing tears
and broken speech as a result sof his
irrepressible emotions. Ex-Cangress
man John G. Grant on Thursday after
noon expressed his thanks for purse
of gold given him by his numerous
friends as a result of his successful
efforts in getting an appropriation for
the new Hendersonville postoffice
while in congress.
Arrangements were perfected for
public manifestation of Henderson
ville's appreciation for these valued
services, but Mr.. Grant was recently
taken i'll and it was decided that a
committee call at his home. where he
is confined to his room, and make the
presentation.
Judge o. v. F. Blythe, Solicitor
Michael Schenck, E. w. Ewbank,
Brownlow Jackson, r. H. Station, P. F.
Patton, J. E. Shipman and Noah M
Hollowell composed the committee.
Talks were made by each of them, as
suring Mr.. Grant of the deep regret
of his inability to be able to attend
public meeting, where public manifes-
tation of the appreciation of all the
people, regardless of political or other
Affiliations, could be made. 1hey as
sured Mr.. Grant that his valued ser
vices while in congress were appreci
ated by the whole of Hendersonville
for it was his services that made ii
possible for this city to enjoy the ad
vantages of the new $4,000 postoffice
building; they assured him of the high
esteem in which the public held him
ever regarding him as a man of loyal,
true. upright, courageous and most
honest and honorable convictions, and
expressed the hope that he would soor
be physically able to be out and ming
ling with his friends again.

AUDITOR ALLEN LOSES WITH
PROTEST OF THE DEMOCRATS,
Henderson to Have Advantage of Pro.
hibitiOn; Also the Primary Law
Will be Optional

Raleigh, N. c., March 2.-The bill to
continue the Office of auditor for Hen
derson county was tabled in the House
today, after passing the Senate unan-
imously for a second time, without be-
ing given any consideration before a
committee, of the House itself. A
number of members stated that they
had received letters from democrats
in Henderson protesting against the
passage of the bill and. with the dem
ocrats divided, it had no chance from
the beginning. The motion was made
by Representative Valentine and met
with little opposition. Had the demo-
Gratis of the county been united in the
support of the measure, there is little
doubt that they would have gotten
what they wanted.
The Statewide anti-jug bill as it
passed the house last week was
amended in the Senate today provid-
ing for submission to the people at a
special election to be held in August.
Another amendment provides that a
number of counties mentioned IN the
same may have the benefits of tho
provisions of the bill whether it re-
ceives a majority in the State or not, if
the proposition receives majority in
them. Henderson is one of the coun-
ties mentioned.
The House will discuss the primary
bill passed by the Senate at an early
day. This bill applies to state anG
district offices generally and county
officers in most of the counties, leav-
ing the method of selecting candi-
dates optional in a large number OF
counties, Henderson being one of
them.

Dr. Cobb at Fassifern

DR.. Collier Cobb, professor of geol-
ogy and mineralogy at the University
of North Carolina, delivered lecture,
"a tramp across the Alps" before the
faculty and students of Fassifern
Monday evening.
The distinguished speaker was In
troduced by Judge H. G. Ewart, who
in his introduction referred to the fact
that possibly no institution in the
country had sent into the Iecturing
field more attractive or brilliant
speakers than the University of North
Carolina; that he felt sure that the
audience after they had heard DIR.
Cobb would conclude that the latter
would not prove on exception to the
rule. His instructive lectures Across
the Alps" and What we learn from
the Sand dunes of Gascony," have been
heard and admired by thousands. Not
only is DR.. Cobb a brilliant lecturer,
but he has written a number of ar
ticles on geological questions which
have attracted attention in the scien-
tific world.
The lecture was illustrated and the
pictures in the vicinity of Lake Como
and the ascent of the Alps were SUI
perb. Perhaps the most wonderful
was the illustration of the splendid
roads and bridges built hundreds Of
years ago and yet in state of perfect
preservation and a marvel to the peo-
pie of the 10th century.

Memory was Flooded.

As Mr.. Grant listened to the kind
words of Encouragement, appreciation
and praise and the recalling of by
gone days when he served the public,
an avalanche of memories crowded in
upon him; tears began to flow; his lips
auivered his emotions we're choking
and speech was difficult. There were
unspeakabfe thoughts flooding his

ilzFted by he recalled many events.

How Thin People
Can Put on Flesh

Thin men and women-that big.
hearty, filing dinner you ate last night.
What became of all t-producinE
nourishment II contained? You haven't
gained in weight one ounce. That food
passed from your body like unburned
coal through an open crate. The ma
tertal was there, but your food doesn' t
work and stick, and the plain truth is
YOU hardly get enough nourishment
from your meals to pay for the cost of
cooking. This is true of thin folks the
world over. Your nutritive organs,
your functions of assimilation, arc prob
ably sadly out of gear and need recon-
Struction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
Sawdust diets. Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one of those single Sargol tab
Let the scales be the judge. Five to
eight good solid pounds of healthy,
'stay-there" fat may be the net result.
Sargol aims to charge weak, stagnant
blood with millions of fresh new red
blood corpuscles-to give the blood the
of fat-making material in your food to
every part of your body. Sargol too,
mixes with your food, to prepare it for
the blood in an easily assimilated form.
Thin people tell how they have gained
all the way from 10 to 20 pounds a
the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets
are a careful combination of six of the
best assimilative elements known to
chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a
package, are pleasant, harmless and in
expensive, and G.. A. Gorgas and all
sell them subject to an absolute guar
antee of weight increase or money
back as found in every large package

If Too Fat Get
Mere Fresh Air
BE MODERATE IN YOUR DIET AND
REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT WITH
OIL, OF k0HEIN

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-
gen-carrying power of the blood, the
liver becomes sluggish. fat accumulates
and the action of many of the vital
organs are hindered thereby. The heart
action becomes weak. work is an effort
and the beauty of the figure is de-
stroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and il nature is not assisted in
throwing il off by increasing the oXy-
gen carrying power of the blood, seri-
Gus case of obesity may result.
When YOU feel that you are getting
too stout take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying around burden of
unsiGhtly and unhealthy fat.
Spend much time as you possibly
can in the open air: breathe deeply, and
get from any druggist a box of oil of
korcin capsules: take one after each
meal and one before retiring a. night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is abso-
lutely harmless. is pleasant to take
helps the digestion and Is designed to
increase the oxygen carrying power of
the blood.
Even a few days treatment should
show a noticeable reduction in weight.
There is nothing better.-Advertise-
