A FIERCE DRINK

They have among the Moros in
Philippine Islands native drink
called vino. 1t is made Of the milk
of the cocoanut. They put it out
in the sun and let it stand there
until it is fermented; then they add
raw alcohol to strengthen it and
plug tobacco to flavor it. II white
man drinks it one drink will cause
him to steal, two drinks will make
him vote a republican ticket, three
will result in his beating up his
mother-in-law, and four drinks will
make him crazy. The Moro will
not drink it at all, but he will
sell it to other people. Enough
can be purchased for 5 cents to
make everybody drunk.
This is some drink and beats
anything on sale here. and we
sincerely hope that none Of this
beverage will ever reach Graham
county, especially if it has the
tendency to make people forget
their allegiance to the democratic
party and cause them to vote the
republican ticket. We have troubles
enough. the Lord knows, without
introducing any such beverage
among our people.

WOULD HURT NATION

The country's railroads cannot be
swatted" without injury to the
nation. The railroads are not para
sites. They are not aliens, they are
not things apart from the common
interest. They are an integral and
infinitely important part of our
whole social, financial and industrial
life. The term railroads. does
not imply a number of capitalistic
entities, but embraces the solvency
and welfare of the nations savings
banks; trust companies. and per-
haps four million individual bond
holders and stockholders, including
very large percentage of women
and children all this in addition to
some two million employees whose

little book selling at only five cents,
postpaid, is having a very wide cirCula-

tains some very startling Information re-

claims to demonstrate. both from the He
brew and the Greek Of our Bible. that
Hell Is not a place OF eternal torment
but merely another name for the Tomb,
the Grave. the State OF Death. 1t affects
to show that man was not redeemed from
far-ofr place OF eternal torture but
quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost Of
his Redeemer's Life and that the Scrip
tural Hope, both for the Church and the
World, is resurrection hope based upon
the death and resurrection OF Jesus, The
book is certainly worth the reading, The

In her complaint against Hall Miss
Finch said that she was the owner of
100 shares of the Finch Manufacturing

from per cent. to 1 per cent. This
stock was given to Wesley NJ. Gard

which was made by the Traders Ma
tional Bank of Scranton. Later, she
staid, she gave Hall the money to pay
the loan and take up the stock, but

judgment against him last December
