I icide of a Despondent 3 North Carolinian. Washington, N. C., special in harlotte Observer: Quite a si ensation was produced in this k city this morning by the suicide cl of Mr. George Bennett, a middle- p aged lumberman of this city. It n seems that Bennett had been n rlrlnlri ntr Inr t Im nnut foor rlo vc At VftttlllVtup. iw? *11V ?V " W " and being out of work tempo tl rarily became despondent. He c came home this morning and told d hia wile that tie had taken lauda- n num and intended to kill himself. $ He then went upstairs to his room and was later found by c members of his family in a semi- ti conscious condition with an li empty two-ounce bottle labeled a laudanum on a table in the room r Drs. R. T. Tayloe and E. M. 5 Brown were immediately sum- c moned and did everything pos- f sible to save him but without t success, and he died at 12 30. c Mr. Bennett came here from 1 the Town of Edenton several ( vears arrn Ho Ipavon ? unfa ??iwt r J ~ M several children. < _ < While Kennedy's Laxative Cough Svrup it 1 especially recommended for children, it is of course, just as good for adults. Child ren like to take it because it tastes nearly as good as maple Sugar. Its laxative prin- I ciple drives the cold from the system by a gentle, natural, yet copious action of the bowels.

Y., Aug. 18. ?The J last formal ceremony attending t the official launching of Ihe lie. ^ publican national ticket of 1908 e was held here today, when Rep resentative James Schoolcraft -1 Sherman was tendered and accepted the nomination of Ins party lor Vice President. In ac- j cepting he subscribed heartily, j he declared, to the declaration of j principles adopted at the Chi c cago convention in June, to the every utterance of Secretary Talt in his Cincinnati speech, ? and to the policies of President f Roosevelt. Mr. Sherman assert <. ed that the approval of the Roosevelt administration was the real q issue of the campaign about to c be undertaken. Mr Bryan's ? question, "Shall the people a rule?" was declared to be no is sue at all. "Surely the people j shall rule," Mr. Sherman said, "surely they have ruled; surely they do rule. Shame on the candidate who insults the Ameri h can people by suggestion or dec* s laration that a majority of its \ electoral is venal."
