Doctors Reaping a Harvest A report from Charlotte a'few days aago was to the effect that in one week's time the physicians of that city had written 1,617 prescriptions for whiskey, and that such a business had been going on for some time, though not know to the public generally. Two years ago Charlotte voted out the saloons, and since that time the city authorities have been in constant warfare with "blind tigers," but this pralctice of the doctors gives a new problem for prohibitionists to faipi. . The doctor leading: the lisj for this week wrote 283. A fee or fifty cents is the usual charge Tor prescriptions. -t 1 New $10 Counterfeit Note. A dispa:eh from Washington says that t kie United States Secret service officials have discovered a new counterfeit $10 "Buffalo" I note. The counterfeit is apparently a photo-lithographic production pfinted on two pieces of Eaper, wrth silk fiber distributed etween them. The face ^>f the nottf is grayish black. The numbering, seal, and large "X Ten" are of good color and workmanship. The check letter and plate 1 number do not appear in the j lower right-hand corner. The i back of the note is a dark bluish green. By itself this counterfeit is apt to deceive, but when handled with genuine notes a marked difference in the color of the back should lead to its immediate detection. '* Negro Murderer Not Identified. A Snpctnl from AoVtavillo fo Charlott<| Observer says tfiat the identity of the negro desperado j and mu :derer of two police officers ?md three members of1 his own race has not yet been j established, and it is doubtful if : the man's true identity will ever be learned. Who he is or* where he came from no one seems to know. The negroes of Asheville j have taken a keen interest in the identity of the man, but their efforts have failed of result. Interest in the tragic affaif of last Tuesday night will not abate. With the identity of the negro still shrouded in mystery, the people have turned f rom a view of the corpse to a sober and dispassionate discussion of the" man's movements prior to the hour of the killing of Officer Blackstock and the' motive that prompted him to go on the war-path and kill indiscriminately whomsoever he met. ; ?? 1 1 _______ Capture Big Cherokee S73E State Constable's Miller and Mulligan, of Chief Fant's constabulary, captured a big illicit still in Cherokee Couflty, near Blacksburg, a few days. ago. rhrec men were at Work in the still anifr they took the tall imbers when the officers ap- [ preached. The constables gave chase and succeeded in capturing one of the men. He was (taken to Gaffney and lodged in j?l. The still was destroye<M and about 2,000 gallons of sourjnash was poured on the ground.I Six gallons of mountain dew! were seized by the constables. 0 Negroes Got Huffy, ft The State's Washington correspondent says a number of negroes in Washington are expressing great indignation at the action of the president in disbanding the regiment of negro troops on account of shooting by some of the men in the regiment in Brownsville, Tex. Thev say that the president timed the disbanding order, making it after it was too late to elTset the elections. They have held a meeting and issued a call for a national meeting of negroes to protest against the action of the president and decided to ask Senator Foraker to take up thel cmise. What they will demand rl be the reinstatement of tmjyegiment. This action of thfc resident is being widely dliscJssed in Washington, particulimp' in army circles. It is the firs/time that such summary actio* has ever been taken. f Pleasant Valley. Farmers of our community are still sawing oats and wheat.?

Don'ts For Hunters. Cut this article out. Memorize it carefully. Carry it with vou'when you start out for your hunt. And read it over every day tk VAVc Ur'S' out. Don't grasp a gun by the barrel and drag it after you out of boat, tlirough i. fence or anywhere else, unless you want to test the truth oi the saying that a fool has more lives than a cat ?and then don't. One discharge may blow them all out. i>ont crrry hut a small quantity of whiskey with you or. your hunt. It's poor stuff to shoot on, and the devil who engineers the "deplorable accidents" you read of daily while the hunting season is on has ,io more potentially than the product of the still. Don't undet any circumstances allow the gun muzzle to point for one single moment at any living thing you do not mean to kill. Don't allow yourself to carry a cocked gun in your hands, not even if you are alone. A sudden stumble may fire it: and you can never tell where the contents may go. Don't carry a loaded gun into your camp or stopping place. And be absolutely sure that every cartridge is taken out of it before you go near the door. Don't shoot a moving bush. Don't shoot at anything to which you cannot swear. Don't shoot small game, such as rabbits, grouse or squirrels wiui Lti& fcuuruuim ion. The man who shot at a rabbit with a high power rifle last season and killed a woodman a mile away has wished many a time since that he had heeded that don't. Don't shoot at running game or any other, unless you can clearly see three things?the game, the front sight of your gun and the rear ditto, and all three?in conjunction, mind. Don't jerk the trigger when you s?e those objects in conjunction; press it. Then you won't throw the gun barrel up the least trifle at the instant of discharge; and the veriest trifle of elevation at that moment spoils the jhot.
