Items of Interest Concerning Out Neighbors In the Old North Stats Clipped from cur Exchanges. Tuesday niKht at Fayetteville, fire destroyed much of the large Poe brick- j making pl int, boiler, cooking machin- ery, dry Souse and great shed, the of fice being saved. The loss is SI0.000, with $2,000 insurance. The plant will bp rebuilt at once. Workmen are clearing off the ruins. George Stoball. alias Will White, a colored man, went to Salisbury Tues day from the Marion camp where the S. & W. railroad is being graded, and showed evidence of inhuman treat ment received there last week. The negro is not smart but tells a story, any -'art of which, if true as related, portrays a fearful condition of bnital- lity. It is hardly to be believed that everything is as he represented it. Tho graduating exercises of the class of 190G of Gilford College, took nlace in the auditorium of Memorial Hall at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning. The class had elected three of its members to deliver orations. The first oration was delivered by Mr. Joseph Moore Purdie, of Asheboro. who received the degree of bachelor of arts. Mr. Purdie chose for his sub ject, “The Advancing Ages.’’ Mr. Purdie received the scholarship offer- ed by Haverford College. The schooner Melville, belonging to Mr. E. B. Bell, of Swan Quarter, and nlying between that port and Wash ington, was burned off the mouth of Goose creek Saturday morning. She was just sighted by the Hatteras, a river steamer, when off Maul’s Point, about 7 a. m. The Hatteras imme- dfatelv went to her rescue and, on ar rival. found that the tug Glide, of the Springer Lumber Company, had a st'-eam on the fire. The fire seems to have started in the cargo while the crew was ashore. The vessel and car go are a complete loss. Tuesday wag graduation day at the State Normal and Industrial College and the graduating exercises took place at 10 o’clock in the spacious au ditorium of the Students’ building, which was packed to the (joors. Tire weather was cool and pleasant, just the kind for the commencement sea son. The exercises opened with music by The college orchestra and the singing of the doxology by the au dience. Rev. Harold Turner, pastor of Spring Garden Street M. E. church, made the opening invocation and the audience joined in singing "The Old North State.” Judge Pritchard has assigned a judgment in the case of the Morton Trust Co., of New York, against the Whittier Lumber Company, directing that the lands of the Whittier Lumber Company b P sold at public auction to satisfy notes held by the Morton Trust Company, aggregating more than $100,000 and interest. The sale of thp timber lands of the Whitier Com pany win he one of the largest trans fers in real estate in Western North Carolina for years. The company owns more than 70,000 acres of lands in Swain county, some of which con tains the finest hardwoods in the State. Sarah Belle Jordon, a negro woman of Charlotte, was shot and probably fatally wounded Tuesday night by Charlie Johnston, a ne^ro man. The shooting took place at the home of the woman, at No. 417 West Second street, shortly after 10 o’clock. The bullet took effect in the abdomen,! making a painful and dangerous wound. The shooting was reported to the police and Patrolman Johnston responded to the call. He was inform ed that the shooting was accidental; that Jonhston had merely been ex amining the revolver, but that person had made himself scarce. The wo man was taken to the Good Samari tan Hospital, where the wound was dressed, and she can receive th P prop er treatment. A package of 15 letters, made up Saturday night at Fayetteville post- office for the northbound mail and ex press on the Atlantic Coast Line, was found Sunday morning on the railroad track near Gowdin, north of Fayette ville, by a colored man who admitted that he opened ail of them, many con taining checks to the aggregate of several hundred dollars, but the con tents were all intact. The negro gave the letters to Mr. G. L. Heming living near Godwin, who taken them to town and delivered them to Postmaster Mc- Caskill. Whether the package was lost through carlessn. ss or by the joltin" of the car on the track, or was stolen and lost or thrown awav, will remain for an official investigation. When Forsyth Superior Court recon vened at !):30 o’clock Tuesday morn ing the trial of Sam Kobre, William Plean and L E. Whitbeck, charged with the murder of Henry Kobre. was resumed. The attendance upon the hearing was not so large at the open ing as on Monday. The court room, however, was pretty well filled within an hour. Two of the 50 special venire men, Edward Whitfield and J. C. Mc Gee, were called out and fined $400 each for failing to appear. No -official announcement was made of the fact that Mr. Walter I. Morris, one of the Jurors accepted Monday afternoon, wag excused after court adjourned, Mr. Morris stating that he had formed and expressed an opinion. A s the clock was striking 10 the twelfth Juror was chosen. Solicitor Graves then read the hill of Indictment, during which the defendants stood up. By request of counsel, the witnesses for the State and defense, after being sworn, were sent out of the court room. The wit nesses for the State number 30 and for the defendants 57. SORES There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; vvheiti • from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place becomes a sore or ulcer,,sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a wart, mole or pimple which has never shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of the skin or insignificant hurt of any character will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometimes terminating in Canoer. The poison in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of refuse matters of the body which have not been properly expell'ed through the channels of bodily waste. But whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blood is so weakened and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and the sore or ulcer is kept up. Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons wlro have reached or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to weaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in ttie system for years cannot be as effectually heU in check as in early life when the system was string and vigorous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs. Salves, plasters, lotions, et*., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieve^ pain and perhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently heal them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent bleod purifier, one that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes I want to recommend your S. S. S. to any who are in need of a remedy for an old sore. In 1877 I had my leg badly cut by a barrel hoop and having on a blue woolen stocking my leg was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suf fered with the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought I would have to go through life with a discharging, an gry sore on my leg. A short while ago I commenced to use S. S. S. and I soon saw th^t the place was im proving. I continued the use of it until my leg vjas entirely healed and I am now a wall man. JNO. ELLIS. 250 Navy St., Brooklyn, N. Y I had - a large sore or ulcer on my face and nothing that I tried would benefit me It began with shooting pains a*d soon the, itching was terrible. At first it discharged a watery fluid which changed to a thicker compo sition and the pain was very se vere. It was near ly as large as a dollar and terri bly inflamed in all the surrounding parts. It had been there so long and growing worse all the rime, I Became very much dis- couragi d and alarmed. At last I be gan the use of S. S. S. At first the ulcer seemed to gpt worse, but soon I noted an improvement and contin ued its use until it was entirely cured. MRS. \tf\ A WRIGHT.
