Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made Mt home,
but Id beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save .two-thirls of the
honey usually spent for cough prepare
tions, by using this well-known old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. 1t is
simple and cheap to make, but it really
has no equal for prompt results. 1t
takes right hold OF cough and gives
immediate relief, usually stopping an
ordinary cough in "a hours or less
Get 2M ounces of PineX from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle, and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make a full pint If you prefer, use
clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way,
it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and
lasts a family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air pas
sage OF the throat and lungs-loosens
and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals
the membranes, and gradually but surely
the annoying throat tickle and dreaded
cough disappear entirely. Nothing bet
ter for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whoopirg cough or bronchial asthma.
PineX is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, known the world over for it's
healing effect on the membranes.

druggist for 1919 ounces OF Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute
satisfaction or money promptly refunded.

A stretch of about two hundred
wards or less of the Chester road

worst m ,ss between Yorkville and
Chester has just been put In good

- More than anything else just now.
this town needs good, hard-surfaced
streets all over It.: but If that Is I'M
practicable the building Of such streets
throughout the length Of Congress and
Liberty streets would make sufficient
Improvement to justify the outlay
The need for the streets Is one of the
first things to be noticed by strangers
who visit the town. The strangers see
all modern improvements that are pos
sessed by the most progressive COM
munities everywhere, the beauty Of the
trees and things of that kind. and then
tagging far behind with streets that
would not be creditable to rural dis
tricts. There are plenty of country
roads in the county that are far bet
ter than North Congress street. THIS
street will not begin to compare with
the road out from Glover into the
Bethel country, for instance. and 1t Is
not as good as the road through Ebep-
ezer. The warrant for hard surface
for the streets indicated lies in the
heavier traffic these streets have to
carry. and also in sanitary conditions

From all that has developed so far
the attempted assassination of M
Clemenceau was the work of a luna
tic. 1t may turn out that this partic'
ular lunatic was the tool of some an
archistic conspiracy; but even so, the
fact remains that this poor fool wa:
nothing but lunatic, just as was the
fool who burned the temple Of Apollo
at Delphi, the fool who tried to poison
George Washington, the fool who as
sassinated Abraham Lincoln, the foo
who assassinated Garfield, the foo
who assassinated Mckinley, and the
fool who tried to kill, and maybe die
finally kill, Theodore Roosevelt. There
is no use trying to reason out the mo-
tives that actuate such men in theil
horrible intentions, for even II We
should discover their motives there Is
no possible cure. The man who sho'
Clemenceau would have just as readily
have shot Mr.. Wilson had the vagaries
of his mind pointed that way instead
and had the opportunity offered. Bu
there is no way to prevent such things
because such men cannot possibly be
anticipated.

proposed bridge to connect York and

The bill to repeal the act establish

SLAYER OF MASON eRIER.

It was Earl Heffner, aged II, who
killed Mason Grier, young farmer Of
the Pineville section during Christmas
week, and he is to serve six years
for 1t.
The dead body Of young Grier was
found in a hollow in the woods on his
mothers lands by a negro. At first
the manner Of his death was a mys-
terry; but later it came out that young
Heffner had done the killing. Heffner
lived on the neighboring plantation of
A. B. Bales. He had been hunting
SQUIRRELS on the Grier lands in disre-
gard of warnings, and had been heard
to say that if Mason Grier interfered
with him there would be trouble.
About a week after Grier's death 1t
came out through things that young
Heffner had said, that he had done the
killing, and he was turned over to the
sheriff 'of Mecklenburg.
| The trial took place in the Mecklen-
burg superior court last Tuesday, and
Heffner was allowed to plead guilty of
manslaughter in the second degree.
The following Is from the Charlotte
Observers account of the affair:
Witnesses testified that they heard
Heffner say prior to the killing that
he intended hunting squirrels on
Grier's land as long as squirrels were
there. and if-Grier ever tried to keep
him from hunting he would kill him.
On the afternoon of the killing Grier
left his house, telling his mother he
was going into the field to run hunters
from his lands. His body was found
few hours later by negro man
Smothered laughter swept over the
court room when this negro. on the
witness stand, said he ran when he saw
the body of Grier lying under a tree
after calling to the dead man and re-
ceiving no answer.
Several witnesses testified that He'll
ner's character was bad.
| Heffner, testifying In his own De-
half, said he was not quite Is years OF
age. His father died nine years ago
he said; because he had to help sup.
port his mother and two sisters ne mao
never had an opportunity to attend
school. For the past two years he mad
been living at the home Of A. B. Bales
near Pineville. ,,
Heffner said on the day Of the kill
ling he was hunting on Griers land
and, having fired once at squirrel
back out Of their hole when Grier ap::
preached him from behind ano
wrenched Heffner's rife from his
hands He claimed Grier asked him
where the two Bales boys were and
exclaimed: II am going to kill you
Iandswish the two Bales boys were here
SO I could put them down with YOU
Heffner testified Grier backed away
from him and pointed the rifle directly
at Heffners breast. The gun was cock
ed, the defendant stated. At this, Hen.
ner said he drew from his pocket .
pistol and fired once at Grier. the pal
going wild. Heffner then jumped
from behind a tree and fired again

then picked up his life, which hac

ner said he went back to Mr.. Bales:

killing until next day when he tolt

to Sam Bales about week after th'
killing when pressed by Mr.. Bales, ac
cording to the evidence.

One Of the profoundest and at the
same time one Of the most plain spok-
en- and cruel political and sociological
thinkers of the present day is the Ger
man socialist, Maximillian Harden, ed
itor of Die Zunkunft, of Berlin. In an
interview few days ago he repeated
former declarations that the German
people were misled into believing that
Germany was right in going to war
and that although Germany was un-
questionably wrong, many OF the Ger
man people still believe their country
was right. When the interviewer
pointed out to Harden that no pro-
tests against Germany's methods ever
were raised in Germany, Harden de-
clared that "even now not only the
actors in the tragedy hesitate to admit
Germany's guilt but that persons who
have lost brother or husband In the
war desire to cling to the belief that
they have suffered their share Of be-
reavement in q good cause; they think
IL WOulu ldhS away AiOhA hiS NioAAsS NA
their grief if they recognize that the
cause for which their country fought
was criminal" There is world OF
wisdom in this suggestion, wisdom for
individuals who make similar mis-
takes. 1t is rare individual who hav-
ing made a terrible mistake, under the
;noprassion that he was doing right, is
ever willing to even see, much less ad-
NIT, that mistake. He prefers to
spend the balance Of his days trying to
convince himself as to how he is the
innocent victim Of outraged right, and
wearing the pure; white crown of
martyr, when as a matter Of fact he
is only some kind of a fool deserving
of pity only because he has no sense.
