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.

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. ; ??

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

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.
