One-won! One product and one purpose that's why the Ford has won. All Fords are alike except the bodies. We have focused our effort upon the making of one good carand the consequent big production has battered the selling cost down to a minimum. Seventy-five thousand new Fords go into service this season proof of their unequalled merit. The price is $590 for the roadster, $690 for the five passenger car, and $700 for the delivery car complete with all equipment, f.

He went round to houses, took orders for a certain brand of soap which he said was selling at a price reduced from one dollar to forty-nine cents. After getting a lot of orders he went to a wholesale house here and bought a quantity of soap that retails at ten cents for three eakes and began filling his orders. Complaint was made and he was arrested on tho charge of false pretense. He was bound over by Rer corder in the sum of fifty dollars and is in jail waiting for the bond to be raised. A number of ladies testified against him.

The political tights are coming on. In Raleigh Tuesday ex-Sheriff Ham Jones, of Wake, flung a glass of water into the face of C. D. Wildes, a Raleigh lawyer. The lawyer was an alternate to the Chi cago convention and Jones accused him of not standing up to Roosevelt.

Wildes called Jones a liar and refused to retract and then Jones got into Two negroes assaulted P. W. 'Allison, in Boone township, Davidson county, last Sunday and seriously cut him. It is said that the negroes some days before, were disorderly at the home of Allison, while he was absent, severely frightening his aged mother. When Allison met them Sunday, trouble ensued.

After serving 63 years In Weth-ersfield prison. under a conviction of second degree murder, John Warren, 74 years old, was pardoned and released. Warren has never ridden on a Irolley or steam train, although he kept well Informed of the march of current events durlag his Imprisonment Bi Me In Holland by Proxy Weds Swrctheart Who Fares Texas Notary The Reason Assigned. A ceremony which, extending across 10,000 miles, is to unite Harry Von Tenbrink of Wichita, Texas, and Miss Helen Swart of Amsterdam, Holland, as begun June IS. giving Tenbrink claim to the title of champion long distance bridegroom.

Tenbrink remains in Wichita while the bride is nearly on the other sdie of the world, but their lives are to be linked none the less secure ly because of the vastness between them. The strange ceremony "began yesterday when Tenbrink stood before a notary in the presence of witnesses and made: a declaration of his Intention to wed Miss Swartx by proxy. This declaration, duly sign ed and authenticated, Is to be for warded to the Danish consul in Gal veston, who will send it to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. If it meets with her approval It will go to Miss Swarts will stand before the lord mayor of Am sterdam and make a similar declara tion. Then she will be, to all in tents and purposes, married to Ten-brink.

Mrs. Tenbrink will sail for Texas in July. One reason Tor the ceremony being performed by this long distance method is that the duties law make it very difficult for an un married woman to get a passport out of Holland. This duty will be circumvented by the absent treat ment wedding. Von Tenbrink will have another ceremony performed by a minister when his proxy bride reaches Texas.

How to Sleep. If troubled with sleeplessness, eat an early and light supper of easily digested food, or better, eat no supper at all. Do not engage in ex citing conversation or amusements during the evening. At an early hour, prepare to retire determined to sleep. Just before going to bed, soak the feet ten minutes in hot water, cooling it a little at the close.
