describing the turning of this town into

change the name of our town to Quick

The women ask the Senators of Wind

Rockingham to exert their influence the
next session Of the general assembly to
have the marriage laws made to conform
to those of other States, especially in re-
gard to requiring that a five-day notice
of intention to marry shall be filed
In October there were 11S marriages in
this town, ITO of which were of couples

We advocate an increase of about 70
per cent for the women and girls en-
ployed in the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing. This increase is dictated by the
tremendous increase in the cost Of living.
The employees in the bureau are under
paid.
There is every reason to hope that the
convention will go on record as favoring
the passage of a law by Congress to

Baltimore, Nov. 19.-Declaring that re-

labor leaders are making against the
church and synagogue, Rev. Dr. c. A.
Rubenstein, rabbi of the Har Sinai Tenn

unionism a cult He said:
THE recent marked successes of lSbor

They had the opportunity of bringing
their message to those of their fellow-men
who through their various affiliations
were rising to great Importance; and they
let that opportunity go by default.

TAKE CARE OF
YOUR LIVER
And 1t Will Take Care of
Your Constipation.

The liver is supposed to furnish the
proper amount of bile for the intes-
tines. This bile has two purposes-to
help digest in the intestines that part
OF your food which the stomach is not
meant to digest and to act as nature
laxative and prevent constipation.
1t is plain to be seen that oils and
the ordinary laxatives which do not
act on the liver give only temporary
relief. If you want to get real and
lasting results you've got to take the
remedy that acts on the liver and
causes it to furnish the bile which in
turn acts on the bowels. The name
OF this simple but sure home treat
ment Is Natures Remedy-popularly
known as Mr. Tablets.
An Mr. Tablet at night before re-:
firing will tone up the stomach, put
your liver to work and in the morn
ing act thoroughly, but without grip
ing. on the bowels. Natures Remedy
also relieves rheumatism, acts bene-
fcially on the kidneys and purifies
the blood.
No household should be without its
box of Mr. Tablets-taken in time
they will break up colds and prevent
much sickness arising from disorder
ed stomach or bowels.
Get a Csc box of Mr. Tablets and
take one tonight-you'll feel better in
the morning.

TYPOS FAVOR TEACHING
PRINTING IN SCHOOLS
Union Will Aid Move if Instruction
Is Practical.

The committee of Columbia Typograph
ical Union which has been investigating
the use of printing as vocational study
in the local schools made its report to
the union at its meeting yesterday. The
report dealt principally with the plant
which has been installed in the new
Central High School.
1t was made plain that the union will
not oppose the introduction of printing
in the curriculum if conducted along
practical lines, with practical printers as
instructors. An endeavor will be made
to have the school authorities adopt a
course of study that will be so thorough
as to enable the union to credit time on
apprenticeships to. boys who finish the
course.
A strenuous effort is also to be made
to have the Central High School plant
opened at night for the benefit of ap-
prentices now employed in the printing
offices of the city. both union and nom
union. 1t being stated that lack of funds
would prevent the school authorities
from starting a night school this year,
the union voted to provide a teacher ar
its own expense. Such a course, il is felt.

Thatcher at Miami. Fla.

Word was received here yesterday of
the arrest in Miami, Fla, of Edward
Thatcher, wanted in Boston, Mass, for
the alleged theft of S130.000, worth OF
negotiable Industrial securities. Thatcher
discovered himself to representatives of
the Pinkerton agency, when he wired for
his trunks to be shipped to Miami from
this city.
Assistant Director A. c. Moore, of the
Pinkerton force. who made the arrest.
stated that the securities had been stolen
from the Shawmut National Bank, of
Boston. He said that Thatcher had led
his agency a merry chase all over the
country after the alleged theft, finally
coming to Baltimore, where his wife is
said to have disposed of 5000 worth of
bonds.
The couple later came to this city and
took up their residence in a fashionable
Mount Pleasant apartment house. They
were trailed here, but before an arrest
could be made they fled the town, leav-
ing their trunks behind. Some of the
stolen property, It was said. was found
in the trunks, but Moore denied this.
declaring that only wearing apparel was
In them.
Through the efforts of the local detec-
tive bureau the trunks were located in
this city. Central Of1ce Detective Fleet
Hughlett, who found them, arranged with
the express company TO notify him when
an order to ship the trunks were receiv-
ed. The Ptnkerton agents spent a week
in this city waiting for the message, and
left for Miami last Friday midnight when
1t was received.
When Thatcher appeared to claim his
trunks he was placed under arrest and
will be taken back to Boston to answer
to charges there.

OPPOSE REPRISALS ON
BRITISH BLACKLIST
Wall Street Sends Envoy to Wilson,
1t Is Said.

There was a circumstantial report in
official circles yesterday that Henry r
Davidson's visit to the White House
Saturday night was caused by the pos
sibility of early enforcement of the re-
taliatory acts against Great Britain.
Mr.. Davidson. who is associated with
]. p Morgan & Co., was said to have
protested to President Wilson against the
enforcement of the retaliatory laws on
the ground that it might disturb Ameri-
can-British credits.
While the report could not be con-
firmed officially, it has been known that
big money powers, which have been as
sisting England in financing the war, op-
pose the application of the retaliatory
legislation.
It is believed here that ]. P. Morgan
on his recent conference with King
George, assured the British monarch that
the United States was unlikely to do anH
act which would tend to disturb the
friendly relations between the two coun'
tries. 1t was considered probable here
that Mr.. Morgan directed Mr.. Davidson
to make representations to President Will
son concerning the possibility of this gov
ernment undertaking reprisals against
England.
Close observers of finance and diplom'
acy assert that IL Wall Street desired tc
protest to the government against put
ting the retaliatory legislation into effect
it would send one of its foremost spokes'
men, to make the fact. known at the
White House.
It is known that the executive depart
ments of the government await only
President Wilson's instructions before
taking action under the retaliatory laws
The house of Morgan Is said to fear
not only that President Wilson will carry
out the intent of Congress when it passed
the retaliatory laws, but to apprehend
that there is danger Of the next Congress
