Joseph Martin. <i convict serving a
thirty year sentence In the peniten?
tiary, made Iiis escape, owing, it Is
charged, to the connivance of a guard.
Martin Is from Wake "county.
Up to last year convicts serving life
terms were always kept in the peni?
tentiary, but the pressure for labor to
pick cotton was so great that they
were nearly all sent lo the farms on
the Ronnoke by Superintendent Smith.
Superintendent Mewibonrne will return
them to the penitentiary. The fact as
to the cotton crop planted lust year
on these farms Is that It was much
larger than could be properly picked.

public school teachers are not liable
.to Indictment under the revenue act
for teaching without a certificate or

Thousands of tuen in every walk of life
all over the world arc playing a desperate
game with Death for an opponent. They
arc playing with an opponent who bns every
advantage, and the outcome of the game is
as certain as?Death. The man in anv walk
of life, who is too hard-worked, too busy,
to take care of his health has only himself
to blame when the final break down comes.
It is easy to keep health while one lias it,
but uphill work to win it back when it is
lost. A man neglects a slight indigestion.
Then Iiis appetite (rets poor. That's a tri tic
and he pays no attention to it. Then he
complains of headaches and it is hard to
work or think. His sleep becomes restless
and he only gets troubled spells of it. He
gets nervous and irritable. Everything goes
wrong both at home and nt business. He
persists in paying no attention to Iiis
health. Then some day he breaks down.
The doctor says nervous prostration or con?
sumption as the cas; may be. He has been
playing a game with death and has been
checkmated at the weakest point.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
an unfailing cure for all disorders of the di?
gestion, and the deadly maladies that follow
tn their train. It is the great blood-maker,
flesh-builder, and nerve tonic. It cures o3
per cent, of all cases of consumption. It is
an unfailing remedy for nervous prostration
and exhaustion. Thousands of men have
testified to their recovery under its iise,
after all other remedies had failed. All
druggists sell it. Do not deal with r. drug
gist who offers you a substitute for he is not
only dishonest but willing to sacrifice your
health and possibly your life for a few
added pennies of profit.

It who keeps the blood pure. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One
is a gentle laxative, and two a mild Cathar?

MAY HAVE COLONELS TO BURN.
Novel Bill to Be introduced ip the Vir?
ginia Legislature.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun from Richmond. Va., says: The
Increase of the Governor's staff from
seven -to eighteen has stirred up a de?
mand for the title of colonel. The Infla?
tion in the number who hold this rank,
so far from satisfying the demand, has
only tended to increase it.
It is pufl>ilshod that a hill granting
magistrates the authority to confer the
rank of colonel will 1>t> introduced in
the House by Mr. Owens, of Manches?
ter. This measure, which has already
been drafted, provides that. Inasmuch
as many worthy gentlemen in this
Stale find great diflioulty In satisfying
their Inudnible desire and ambition to
become colonels, "therefore, be it en?
act- d by the General Assembly of Vir?
ginia, That any Virginia gentleman of
good standing in his city or county may
apply ?0 a Justice of the peace, and af?
ter taking the oath <>r ollice required
by law. and particularly the anti-duel
leg oath, and upon the payment of a
fee of $1, such justice shall issue a war
rhr.it creating such applicant a colonel
with full rank for life."
It is i'sserted that the patron of this
pr'.'position thinks is will not only In?
crease the revenues of the Stnte, hirt
will satisfy a laudable desire to at
i tain a rank now much sought after.

An institution which has sprung into
great favor of recent years Is the
pocket dime savings bank, and mar?
velous stories arc told of money pre?
served by this means. Before the days
of this particular kind of bank there
lived In Norfolk a set of boys -who
have since grown into manhood, and
are now threading the various paths
of life, some well-to-do, others but
poorly off In Ibis world's goods and
others still with nothing at all. Of
these boys there was one who was
then in anything but JWlluent circum?
stances. He always carried some loose
change and when any of the others
expended money foolishly, or for things
they did not actually need, this one
would transfer from one pocket to an?
other an amount equivalent to the
sum thus squandered. In this way. in
the course of five years, he saved over
six hundred dollars. Ho invented it in
a Drambleton- lot, which he sold some
time afterwards for $1.200. Then he
bought two lots In Huntersville, and
these he sold after awhile for $2,000.
He continued to .make judicious invest?
ments and is said to be worth $15,000
at present, chiefly as .the outcome of
his little plan for saving.

Do not buy Christmas presents on

Christmas and is sorry that he did.
The article purchased was sent .to the

nations followed, of course, but they
were awkward, particularly as the
young lady paid the bill.
A cotton fire is the hardest kind of
a lire to get. at or put out, as only
too many unfortunate shipmasters will
testify. Fortunately. It 'burns slow.
Some time ago in unloading a burning
cargo of cotton from a ship a bale
was dropped overboard and sank to
the bottom of the harbor. It was
fished up over twenty-four hours later
and opened upon a wharf to dry out.
It had hardly been opened before it
burst into flames.
? ? ?
The Oalveston News says: "To be
plain about it, if nil the cotton raised
In Texas were made into one shirt,
the garmer.l would fit a man. 20,00?
miles tall. The Texas crop of 15,000,
000 pounds of wool would make him a
pair of socks. The leather product of
the State would- make him a pair of
shoos, the solc-s of which would nearly
cover a pair of States are large as
Massachusetts. The 000.000 head of
beeves and 125,000,000 bushels or corn
would feed him bread and meat for six
months, and if all the horses In Texas
wgre one he could ride a horse big
enough to nibble grass on the Blue
Itidge and fan flies off his haunches
which would loom up In the neighbor?
hood of the Mississippi river. The
hairs of the animal's tail would be as
large in diameter as telegraph poles
and as long as the Hudson river, and
it would lake Ihe bile of a horsefly
fourteen times the size of an elephant
lo make him snort."

Leading Clergymen of Every Denomination Use and Advise
Paiiie's Celery Compound,
Like Goldsmith's parson who
Tried each art; reproved each dull
delay,
Allured to brighter worlds and led
the way,
great preachers throughout tho coun?
try have been the most untiring and.
earnest in tolling the truth about
Paine's celery compound, in urging
people to use it, and at the same time
they themselves have employed the
great remedy in their own homes with
results that have steadily kept up their
faith In its health-giving powers.
It Is significant that Paine'a celery
compound stands alone as the one
remedy that is freely used in the homes
not only of clergymen, but of all
liberally as well ns professionally edu?
cated men?physicians, lawyers, school
teachers and others?while every other
remedy purporting to accomplish equal
results, Is promptly shown the door.
No class of men have the public good
so disinterestedly at heart as clergy?
men; none others see so Intimately
the affairs of so many homes. It Is
their business to know the sad side,
sorrows and sufferings. As confidant,
confessor and comforter they learn the
truth as evc-n the physician often fails
to do.
And clergymen recommend Paine's
celery compound wherever they enter
a home where some member needs ;t
general building up of the body, a
purifying of the blood and a strength?
ening of tired nerves.
Another great preacher, the Rev. S.
Domer, pastor of St. Paul's English
Lutheran church, Washington, D. C,
says:
Washington, D. C? May ir., 1S07.
Wells. Rich?rdeon & Co.r
Gentlemen?illavo taken Pallia's cel
ery compound as a tonic, and am
pleased to certify that: so far as I have
been able to test it 1 have found it
quite satisfactory.
Yours very truly,
S. DOMER,
St. Paul's English Lutheran Church.
It cannot be repeated too often that
the stomach is the fountain which sup?
plies every part of the bod}'. If the
stomach is sick, the brain, heart, liver,
bowels and kidneys are all sick. The
trouble may all he felt In one spot; it
may be in the stomach itself, or It
may be in the brain, or In d rheu?
matic muscle. It will be fell in the
weakest place. Paine's celery com?
pound Is fully competent to correct all
such disordered conditions of the
stomach, and to restore a healthy,
hearty tone I hat will enable it to meet
every demand made upon it by hard
worked brain, heart Olid nerves.
A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish
sweet, healthy chyme, as the digested
food is called, but acids and poisonous
gases, and the brain and nerves thus
get poison Instead of food. It is not
food swallowed, but food well digested
that produces flesh nnd blood. Paine's
celery compound disposes the body tn
take on flesh. It makes the breath
sweeter, the strength more enduring,
the body plumper stud the spirits bet?
ter.
Dyspeptics nnd nervous, sickly per?
sons, whose whole lives are a failure,
both as .to enjoyment and usefulness,
ought to learn how closely their de?
bility, aches and pains depend on their
general run-down condition, and that
the sensible, lasting; cure can only
cime from building up their general
health nnd constitution. This Is .the
grand mission of Paine's celery com?
pound. It cures neuralgia, rheuma?
tism, stomach troubles, blood diseases
and headaches by this enlightened,
broad treatment. Pure blood and
plenty of it. quiet, satisfactorily fed
nerves and a condition of the brain
that makes sound, sweet sleep n safV-1
guard against all nervous troubles
come when Paine's celery compound Ig
used.
If you are "played out," to use a for?
cible street phrase, can't digest, can't
work and have lost courage, Paine's
celery compound will show Itself to bo
the best friend you ever had. It will
enable you to forget your stomach, und
will do for you what it has done for
so many others?make you again a
healthy, active man or woman.
