Yesterday morning Recorder Sykes gave Jim Hayes, colored blina tiger, ten months on the road Jim took an ap peal and gave he bond. It "is not the first time he has been in the toils of the law for his Illicit traffice.

The couple came in at 9:55 and returned at 11 22, after Rev.

Some party of his own color gave him away.

The sheriff of Chatham has been communicated with, and if he finds the negro Is wanted will come after him. The man' admits the shooting but claims it was accidental, that he was shoot ing at another fellow and killed Fousliee. However he left the county, but that was done innocently, as he did not know there were any charges against him. He talks funny. Durham town is to be "Spotless Town."

Although very few fat folks know It (and those who do are no longer fat), there Is a very simple method of reducing safely. All one has to do Is to take after meals and at bed time one teaspoonful of the following simple Teceipt, which any druggist will All for a few cents: One-half ounce Marmola, V4 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and 3 ounces Peppermint Water, and the trick Is turned. This Is a certain cure for "fat folks' for it does away with all necessity for exercise or dieting. It never causes wrinkles or stomach disturbances, and 12 to 16 ounces. I am told, is no unusual amount of fat to take off daily.

iTiie Six Heroes of Big Bethel Bradley, two of the remaining heroes. Following Mr. Bradley was Mr. Ricks, the other living companion of Wyatt. So it can be readily seen that those nearest to Wyatt at the time of his death are now exerting every effort to have his memory rightfully honored.

Are the people going to allow the former chivalry, heroism, fortitude and fidelity of these heroes be forgotten, or are they going to see that this monument is erected at an early date? There is only one possible answer to this question, and that is to eliminate all hesitation and make the appropriation Immediately. Private John H. Thorpe, of Rocky an' honor graduate of the University of North Carolina, one of the surviving companions- of the fallen hero, afterwards a captain In the 47th regiment, thus describes the death of Wyatt: "When we got there (the redoubt) I saw a Zouave regiment of the enemy in line of battle about 300 yards away. Our boys popped away at them, but the fire was not returned. Then, in good order, they marched away, down the New road.

Probably the order, to retreat had been given the whole Federal army. A few minutes later Hill, passing from outright through the company said: 'Captain Bridget's, can't you have that bouse and immediately went on. Captain Bridgers asked if five of the company would volunteer to burn it, suggesting that one of the number should be an officer. Corporal Oeorge T. Williams said said he would be the officer and five others said they would go.

Matches and a hatchet Were provided: 'at' once, and a minute later the little, party scrambled over (he breastworks in the following order: George T. Williams, Thomas Fallon, John H. Thorpe, Henry L. Wyatt, R. H.

Bradley and R. H. Ricks. A volley was fired at us as if by a company, not from the house, but from the road to our left. As we were well-drilled In skirmishing, all of us instantly dropped to the ground, Wyatt mortally wound ed.

He never uttered a word or a groan, but lay limp on his back, his arms extended, one kiiee up. and a clot of blood on his forehead as. -large as a man's fist. He was lying within four feet of the tnt-n and this Is the way I saw him. To look at Wyatt one would take him to be tenacious of life; low, but robust In build, guileless, open, frank, aggressive." RIGHT AFTEK BOOZE.

Jessie Pitman Charged With Selling Liquor It Was a Complicated Affair An Old Offender Up. Jesse Pitman, colored, was before Justice Badger this morning, charged with selling liquor. A -negro by the name of Dave Curtis was one of the principal witnesses. Curtis was the first to take the stand. His testimony was as follows: He said that he bought a quart of linuor from the defendant on Sunday morning.

When asked to name the brand of the liquor he stated that he could not read but that the bottle had on it the pic ture of a church steeple. Ho stated that he went to the defendant's room. on Monday morning and bought more liquor. He paid 35 cents for a half pint and the defendant drank half of It. Mr.

Woodall, an agent of the South ern Railway, took the stand. He said that he had been informed that there wag some stolen liquor somewhere in the neighborhood In which the defendant lives, that he got permission to search his room, and that when he did so he found several Jugs and many bottles, some of them answering to the description of the ones that had boon stolen. The defendant was then sworn. Ills testimony made the case a bit compli cated. He said that Curtis went to his room Sunday and that he gave him 50 cents to go out and buy some liquor, which he did.

The defendant stated that he was formerly an Inhabitant of Wilson, but that he left to keep from paying boot-black license. He stated that he had never been in any trouble before, that he used to manage a string band In-Wilson, to whose music the "rich peoplo" would dance. When asked to explain why so many Jugs and bottles were found In his hoom, the defendant said that he was In the habit of ordering liquor from Virginia. When asked from what point kin Virginia he ordered liquor, he said that ho ordered It from Suffolk. He was Immediately reminded of the "dry spell" which has recently struck that tc)wn.

He then said he-got the spirits under discussion from Richmond. He explained that some of the bottles that were found In his room contained keroene. The testimony In the cane was so conflicting, that the judge could not decide which of the negroes (Curtis or Pitman) to believe, so he ordered that the defendant should be taken down atalra until he should be able to make OyCUlpn, lodels i i fMllv Oclllli uuniuaa iiiuugn Woolens, French Serges; plain Wearables. tlitu ttt mjs iyp- l-iin lihmv More and keep up with tho HAVE YOU Powell's TRIED BLACK BAND Goal?

J. M. Plckel Tikes Issue With. Tho Evening Times and With Reard as to the Enlargement the State Capitol Holds That Present Building is Adequate. To the Editor of The Times: You, in your editorial of the 16th, and Mr.

Beard, in his letter of same date, urge weighty reasons for enlarging the capitol. But there are on the other side reasons of both hard practical utility and of sentiment which convince many 1 trust a majoritythat it would be a grave mistake to enlarge the capitol. Kindly peremit me to present some of those reasons. Consider first the non-sentimental reasons: (1) As it stands the capitol has for three quarters of a century served a practical end, and it is still amply adequate to serve for generations to come, a practical use, namely: as a meeting place for the state legislature and its committees. There is no need to enlarge it.

Just across the street the state owns a splendid site (the supreme court and agricultural building.) Those buildings sorely need to be taken down. Let the state erect on that site a splendid fireproof building, a building in all respects suitable for offices for the governor and all state officials, for the supreme court, library, hall of history, museum, etc. As a new proposition, a building much better suited to those purposes can be made than by tinkering the capitol spoiling it, as many think and in the end not having a building best suited for the various uses to which it is to be nut. (2.) The capitol, as it stands, has served, and should be permitted to for all time, as a. model of simple, dignified, beautiful architec-nre an eminently practical end so long as men build houses.

(3.) In the third place and this is a matter of vital importance no less to the state at. large than to Raleigh as a city to enlarge the capitol will cut down one of the most beautiful, th-j most restful, the most health-giving, the most frequented little parks and breathing-spaces in all North Carolina. There is assuredly no other spot in the world visited and enjoyed by so many North Carolinians; and they come from every nook and corner ol the state. Already the capitol square Is too small. Why make it smaller when there is no necessity for it? When North Carolina inaugurates a governor the audience crowds the square to the curbing almost.

When an excursion of happy Tar Heels men and women and children, visit their capital city, which is now, and more and more becomes, the city of every patriotic North Carolinian's pride and love, the capitol square is even now taxed to its capacity by the joyous throng. If this be true in 1909, what will be the condition at no very distant day, when North Carolina has four or five millions of inhabitants, and Raleigh one, two, three who can tell hundred thousand people? Already two of Raleigh's breathing spaces one for the governor's mansion, one for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute have been taken. Let it stop I that Now turn to the reasons of sentiment. When one comes to think about it, the North Carolinian of tho past has, aside from many brave and noble deeds, left nothing to postorily In the shape of a monument to him self. Nothing of conse quence save only the capitol.

The capitol is not only a specimen of the best, ai'eiiitecture, beautiful in its classic simplicity there Is not a capital city In all the world where it would not be prized in that aspect but it Is ii'so a sign, a symbol, an emebodiment "In granite of the character of our forefathers. The Meck lenburg Declaration oi Independence, the Edenton Tea Party, the capitol, tell, each in its way, what manner of men and women founded and built our commonwealth. 'Ihe North Carolinian of today can, no more afford to add to or take away from the capitol than he can afford to add to or take away from were that possible the Mecklenburg Declaration or Independence or other noble deed of his ancestors. Mere sentiment? Ah! truly. So it Is also mere sentiment that pro-serves the Acropolis, Independence Hall, Mount Vernon, the Lincoln cabin and farm.

But It is a sentiment which, bo far from "worshipping in log meeting-bouses" and "standing against progress," is doing, and has done, more for the advancement of civilization than any other feeling of mind and soul. It Is preclsoly nations with that sort of sentiment that build the best school houses, the flnesc churches In a word that lead In civllixatlon. No, no, gentlemen: Spare the capitol. Let it stand for all time a lesson In architecture, a monument to the solid worth, the culture, the refinement of the North Carolinian of a by-gone day. Surely the great State of North Carolina is not so hard put to.

It that it cannot preserve, for the uplift of all future generations, this her one and dnly treat monument of the past. J. M. Raleigh, Q.f Feb, Itf, Wear Nice Jewelry Nice Jewelry adds a distinctive tone of i eliiicmenl to the wearer. But the Jewelry as in other liuines.
