Gray Hail
“I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for over thirty years. It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn
ing gray.”—Mrs. F. A. Soule,
Billings, Mont.
There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer’s Hair
Vigor—it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
Butgraduallythe old color
comes back,—all the rich,
dark color it used to have'.
The hair stops falling, too.

CartersvlUe, Ga., Auguat 31.—Editor
Constitution: I am not well and may
not write- many more letters for jrour
readers, and therefore write this one
to you to enlist your interest and hearty
co-operation In a matter that Is very
near my heart, and I am sure would
be as near to yours If you were twen
ty years older and had more time.
I have received the five volumes of
history complied and edited by Judge
Walter Clark, now the ohlef justice of
the state of North Carolina. This Is
no ordinary work. It Is on a higher
plane than any J have ever seen, and
Is to the land what “Service Afloat”
la on, the sea. For seven years of
unremitting toll Judge Clark has
worked on this labor of love without
pay or reward save that which come*
from the accomplishment of a sacred
duty faithfully performed. Of course,
he has had capable and willing co-
operators who out of the 254 sketches
wrote 179 of them. Judge Clark wrote
all of the others, besides a full half
volume, (fifth) of graphic events and
comments that concern all the South
ern states as much as North Carolina,
and which Includes the first published
history of the North Carolina navy—
the Albemarle and Shenandoah and
Florida and some other smaller cruis
ers and blockade runners. It Is wor
thy of mention just -here that Com
mander Waddell, of the Shenandoah,-
was the last man to keep the confed
erate flag at the masthead, for his ves
sel was in the mld-Paclflc ocean and
he did not know of the fall of the con
federacy until the 19th of August,
1865, and had a sea fight with the ene
my on June 4. The volumes are beau-
tlfuly bound In gray and gold. The
paper and the printing Is of the best
quality and their pages embellished
with over 900 portraits and battle
scenes. These portraits are, of course,-
a reproduction, eight to a page, of the
old-time photographs that the mothers
of the dead and living boys furnished
to the engravers. These engravings
were reproduced by that patriotic
southerner, Major Pattou, president of
the University Publishing Company,
New York, without cost The volumes
ere quite large containing 800 page*
each. Judge Clark eelected the best
men to write the sketches of their reg
iments.
Truth of History Guaranteed. 1
What a guaranty of truth and cub
ture when we aee in this list of con
tributors such eminent and patriotic
names as General D. H. Hill, General
Clengman, Governor Vance and his
brother Robert, General Tc >n, Colonel
DeRossett, Major Graht.m, Major
Moore (who complied the roster twen
ty years ago), Dr. Moses Hoge, of
Richmond, and captains and lieuten
ants by the score. And there are min
isters and privates mingled in whose
work is well aqd ably done. There
were eighty-four full regiments and
twenty-eight battalions besides the
state troops (home guards) and every
regiment and battalion had pne or
more historians. It is a magnificent
work and If I were a North Carolinian
and lived far away I would purchase
a set If I had to do without tobacco
and whiskey for a month, for the price
Is only *5. There are 17,000 names in
dexed in these volumes and I would
be sure that some of them were kin to
me or my folks. What a wonderful
state. Their long forbearing people
twice sent a commission to Washing
ton to plead for a peaceful solution
and avoid war, but got no promise or
consideration, and then they made war
as one man—and all the women. -They
had only 115,000 of full grown men of
21 tn the state, but they could not
keep the boys out and 125,000 troops
.were enrolled. What a sad comment
must come In here, for It U a matter
of record that of these troops 41,000
were killed or died In the service. 1
have the old roster before me In four
volumes containing 125,000 names ana
appended to every name are slgnlfl-.
cant -letters telling when he enlisted
jmd where and What became of him.
8ounds an Alarm.
Rut why am I writing so earnestly
about this? Because I wish our own
state to do something of the kind be
fore itTs forever too late. It. is otorrp
lng to read In Judge Clark’s “Review
and Conclusion” how many of his con
tributors died before they had finished
their sketches and either he or some
other had to take it up and complete
it. Now the cost of the work to the
state to $1 per volume, which to the
actual cost ot the paper, printing,
binding and engraving. The great*
portion Is as readable and fascinating
as a romance and will brighten up
and fasten the patriotism ot oar young
men, whether they be from North Car
olina or Georgia.
Now, some of us old veterans wish
The Constitution to start this ball In
motion. Your great paper can do It
Find out how many veterans are mem
bers of the legislature and how many
outsiders like Tip Harrison ana
Charles Edgeworth Jones and Gover
nor Candler and General Evans and
Evan P. Howell you can enlist as co-
operators. We cannot make as large
and complete a book as Judge Clark
has made, but we cin certainly make
a roster, even though Senators Clay
and Bacon and Lon Livingston have
to have a bill passed giving our agent
the use of the confederate archives.
Judge Clark had to do that Now
please take the lead in this matter, for
It is a sacred duly we owe to our chil
dren and their children. I asked an
old private the other day how he could
prove his service. “Oh," said bp,
“there are a dozen comrades I can
prove It by.” “But when they are all
dead and you are dead, how will the
children prove that their father or
grandfather was a confederate sol
dier?” He looked thoughtfu land said:
“I reckon, major, the thing would be
lost to them.”'
■ Let’s let the nigger and Teddy alone
for awhile and work on a bigger thing.
But I am not done with Teddy yet—
not until h« retracts and apologises.

LYNCHINQ APPROVED.
North ' Carolina Coroner’s Jury
Renders Unique and Start
ling Verdict.
A special from Charlotte, N. C.,
says: The coroner’s Jury in the Tom
Jones lynching case has startled the
entire state by Its verdict approving
the lynching.
Jones, a negro who confessed to an
assault on Mrs. Will Smith near Seven
Springs Friday,, was lynched Monday
afternoon.
He was caught by a posse of three,
taken to Mrs. Smith’s house and iden
tified. He confessed his crime and
gave up a razor he had stolen from
his victim’s husband. Qe was put in
a barn to await, the arrival of the sher
iff, but ten men, dtogulsed as negroes,
came from the woods and demanded
him.
Officer Walker refused to give him
up and was Bhot. in. the neck,, ,
The men 1 battered down the door,
put Jones on. a tram cur, ran it into
the woods, bound him to a log and
fired a volley of shot into him. He
was not killed, at the first fire and
another vol)ey ended his misery.
Buttons and. pieces of cloth were
taken as souvenirs from his body.
Mrs. Smith will live, but Is horribly
disfigured.
Coroner Thomas Hill and a jurv
went to the scene and held an inquest.
After examining several witnesses
the Jury returned this verdict:
“We, the undersigned empanelled
as a Jury to inquire Into the cause of
tht> death of Tom Jones, find, that he
came to his death by gun-shot wounds
by parties unknown to the Jury ob
viously by an. outraged public acting
in defense of their homes, wives,
daughters and children. In view of
the enormity ot the crime committed
by said Tom Jones, alias Frank Hill,
we think they would have been re
creant to their duty as good citizens
had they acted otherwise.”
SALOON WRECKED BY WOMEN.
“Blind Pig” Demolished and Propri
etor Forced to Flee.
Belmont, Tenn., a small town six
mile* west of Nashville, was the scene
of much excitement, when a mob com
posed ot women made a, raid on a sa
loon and completely demolished it
The saloon, or “blind pig,” has been
running for some days. Women or
ganized and marched in a body to the
saloon.
They began by throwing rocks
through the windows and then pro
ceeded to enter and finish, the work,
breaking bottles and completely wreck
ing the place. Tho proprietor fled.
GEORGIA SHORT ON CROPS.
Condition of Cotton Even Worse Than
nt Ibis Time Last Year.
Georgia crop conditions just now
are somewhat worse than they- were
last year at this time, according to the
crop report Issued Monday by tfie de
partment of agriculture, and tost year
the crop conditions were considerably
below the average.
The average condition ot cotton
throughout the state at the present
time, according to the report, is 70 per
cent as against 75 per cent tost year,
and tbat was considered rather a poor
showing.
A special from Augusta, Me., says:
President Roosevelt passed through
three states Tuesday, delivered eight
speeches and received the plaudits of
a quarter of a million people. The
greeting Which has marked bis prog
ress through New England has been
flattering in the extreme, and Tues
day’a experience demonstrated his
popularity perhaps more than ever be
fore. , Everywhere at the regular
stops and the smaller stations along
the road the people were strenuous in'
their efforts to catch a glimpse of Urn
or to hear him speak,, and at Haver
hill, Mass., this desire assumed such
a form that the crowds completely
overrode the police and surrounded
the president's carriage, making, it dif
ficult for. It to advance.
The day’s Journey was: not without
Its Incidents. As tho president was
about to: board his car at South Law
rence, Mass., after delivering bis- ad
dress, the leader of the baud stepped
up and made himself known to him.
He said his name Was Banan, a for'
mer cowpuncher and' barber at Me-
dura, N. Dak., where the president’s
ranch Is located. The president Im
mediately recognized him, and greeted
him as an old friend'. The man evi
dently desired the president to know
that he bad profited by his advice
given some years ago, said to him:
"You told me to get married and set
tle down, and I did.. I have got six'
children myself.” ’ This afforded the
president no little amusement.
While on bis way through tho
streets of Portland, the president‘s
carriage was stopped, and he was
presented with an album containing
views of the city. He stood up In hla
carriage and briefly thanked; tho donor;
Captain Charles F. Dam.
Conspicuous among those who
boarded the train at Old Orchard to
extend a welcome to the. president
was Congressman Littlefield, of Rock
land. His visit was brief, and the’
conversation turned on other subjects
than trusts. Mr. Littlefield declined
to comment on the president’s Tues
day night’s speech, pleading that ho
had not finished reading It.
When Danville Junction was readi
ed the president was greeted by Post
master General and Mrs. Payne, Mrs.
Garret A. Hobart and Mrs. Charles
Emory Smith. Some stops were made
which wpre not In the itinerary. At
Lisbon Falls and Brunswick, Me., im
mense crowds gathered, and the presi
dent was.. obliged to appear on the
rear platform and say a few words.
Although the day was a particularly
hard one on him, the president gave
but slight signs of fatigue. Tuesday
night he was the guest ot Governor
Hill, who met him at the deport and!
escorted him to hte residence, where
the president made a short address;
The governor's bouse has become
historic because of the fact that it was
the home ot James G. Blaine, and: tho
president occupied the Identical: bed
room used by that statesman.
JAILER’* WIFE A HEROINE.
With Gun She Stops Prisoners in
Break For Liberty.
Nineteen prisoners of the county
jail, at Covington, Tenn., made an at-,
tempt to break out Tuesday morning
In the absence ot the jailer, and near
ly succeeded.
They had bored through the top ot
the cage and were about to break
through the root, when, the wife of
Jailer Smith took a hand.
She armed a negro “trusty” and
taking her husband's shotgun, covered
the prisoners and kept them still un
til her husband’s return.
