CURRENT TOPICS.
The most interesting question in rail
road circles at present is "who owns the
Reading?" Our State Constitution for
bids the Pennsylvania from buying a
controlling interest in it or any- other
"parallel and competing" road, but the
Pennsylvania now controls the B. & O.
and the latter is said to have purchased
a controlling interest in the Reading:
the idea being to head off the Goulds,
who are now getting into Pittsburg,and
are aiming to secure a line to New
York.
The state troops are yet camping on
the Shenandoah. The miners will not
work at present wages, the operators
will not increase them, and say there ia.
nothing to arbitrate, and there is some
talk of GO7. Stone calling the State Leg
islature into extra session for the pur
pose of passing a compulsory arbitra
tion bill.
The constitutional right of the legis
lature to pass such a bill is questioned,
and among the views of different mem
bers of the present legistarure publish
ed in Monday s Pittsburg Times, one
member, while stating that he would
favor any constitutional measure,
points out that it must be borne in mind
that our constitution forbids the regula
tion of trade, and that he has grave
doubts as to whether any legislation
could be agreed upon in time to be of
use in settling the present strike. An
other member declares that If Governor
Stone and his Attorney General will ap
prove of a measure that they think will
stand the test of constitutionality and
that can be passed by the Legislature,
then he will favor an extra session.
A year ago, last Saturday, Sept. 6,
1901, President McKinley fell by the
hand of an assassin at the Buffalo Expo.
Since that time Theodore Itocsevelt
has been President; and he has develop-
ed remarkable strength and versatility.
He lately made a trip through New
England, and his speeches were so ex
plicit as to make an excellent exposition
of tenets for tbe Republican party.
Now he is on a brief tour through the
southern states, where he is being
warmly welcomed, and his speeches lis
tened to attentively.
He says things on all public questions
and particularly about the trusts. At
Wheeling the "keynote of his speech
was that the remedy must be attained
by evolution rather than revolution.
Ilia illustration of the Mississippi river
was especially pertinent. To attempt
to dam the current of commerce, which
is undoubledly toward consolidation, he
regarded as parallel with an attempt to
dam the father of waters. But if man
cannot dam the Mississippi he can con
fine its water within certain channels
and regulate its flow. This is what the
Presedent wants done in the case of the
trusts. To attempt to dam tbe Missis
sippi would simply inflict ruin upon
its banks. The same results
would follow any attempt to destroy
the trusts. But to regulate them, to
keep them under control, would pro
duce benefits similar to those accruing
from the construction of levees along
the river.
POLITICAL.
The so-called Union Party met in con
vention in Philadelphia last Wednes
day. fought, slugged and split; and the
Philadelphia part of it nominated Pen
nypacker and the rest Pattison. It was
more amusing than important.

Benator Cummihgs of Warren will sur
render their chances to the nomination
for State Senator..
Maine went Republican by a plurali

county and will contest the district
Domination.
On Saturday last Col. Huff appealed
to State Chairman Quay to order a dis
trict conference fcr this Congressional
district, Dr. Show alter having refused
to meet him on an Bto 3 basis. Quay
has called for a meeting in Pittsburg,
this afternoon.
At Punxsutawney, Monday, the
Armstrong-Jefferson Indiana C 1 ari on
Congressional conference met, and
balloted, without results; but next day
William Orlando Smith, the nominee of
Jefferson county, and editor of the
Punxsutawney Spirit, one of the best
country weeklies published in the state,
landed the district nomination, tbe
Clarion and Indiana conferees voting
for him. Mr. Smith thanked the con
ferees, and said in part:
"While Ido not expect to cut any
particular figure in congress, I will en
deavor to vote right and help to sustain
the policies of the great Republican par
ty, by whose wisdom the country has
been kept in the paths of progress and
national glory for nearly half a century.
I will also endeavoi to be as useful as
possible to my constituents. Should I
be able to maintain the high standard
of faithful and efficient service fixed by
my immediate predecessor, Mr. Jack, I
will feel that there is no proper cause
for complaint on the part of the people
of the Twenty-seventh congressional
district."
"Tom" Johnston has captured the
Democratic party in Ohio end wants to
make himself the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency two years hence.

Some Road Law.
An Act of Assembly approved July 2,
1901, provides that during the months
of May, June, August and October each
year the Road Commissioners or Super
visors shall once a month remove or
have removed the loose stones from off
every traveled road or highway. Neglect
or refusal to do so subjects them to a
fine not exceeding $lO to be recovered
by an action of debt, brought in the
name of the Commonwealth before any
Justice, half to go to the informer and
half to be applied on the roads.
An Act of the same date provides that
persons subject to road tax who shall
plant to the side of tbe public highway
on his own ground, where the road ad
joins cultivated fields, any fruit, shade
or forest trees of suitable size, shall be
allowed by the Supervisors an abate
ment of one dollar in his road tax for
every two tress planted. Elms must be
70 feet apart, maple and other forest
trees 50, except locust anu Carolina
poplar, which may be 30. and fruit trees
must be 40 feet apart This abatement
is allowed for just one year. Fruit,
shade or forest trees already growing or
those set out to replace trees that have
died are also allowed for However no
person can be allowed an abatement ex
ceeding one-fourth of his road tax.
Record of the trees and the abatements
allowed for them shall be kept by the
Supervisors.
Any person who shall cut down, kill
or injure any roadside tree or allows an
animal driven by him to do so shall
upon conviction be subject to a fine of
not less than $1 or more than $- r ). with
the choice of going to jail a day for
every dollar. Owners can remove road
side trees upon condition of immediately
planting another.
New School Laws.
Now that the public schools have
opened again, it would be well for par
ents of childrtn of the school age to
familiarize themselves with the provis
ions of the new Bchool law, which is
much more exacting than the old act
It requires that all children between
the age of six and sixteen years shall
attend school throughout the term, un
less excused by the board of directors
for good and sufficient reason. Pupils
may be excused on account of mental,
physical or other disability, or they
may be excused if between thirteen
and sixteen years of age and can read
and write the English language in an
intelligent manner, provided they are
regularly engaged in some useful em
ployment or service. Another provis
ion is that in case there is no school in
session within two miles, by the near
est traveled rjad, of any person within
the school district, the pupil shall not
be liable to the provisions of the act.
The new law provides fines not only for
the person in the parental relation, but
also for teachers, directors and others
who fail to carry out its requirements.
In fact, the law is such that, if en
forced, it will be a matter of import
ance for all concerned to become ac
quainted with it.

the log Into quarters; hence the name.
These quarters are then sawed into
boards from the circumference toward
the center, and thus the "flake," that
beautiful figure In quartered oak, Is
brought out.
HOW TO GROW BEANS.
WAX uud Strlaglen Gre«u Pod Vari
—\A mm», Ummh aud Pole.
The wax and striugless green pod
varieties for best results should be
drilled or dropped four to six inches in
the row. They art very tender and
should not be planted until all reason
able danger from frost is passed, but
after that they may be planted at in
tervals of two weeks or a little more
for succession, advises a Rural New
Yorker writer. As soon as the plants
are well out T>f the ground apply the
nitrate of soda, same as for early cab
bages. It should be applied every few
days, especially if there are any traces
of rust.
The same treatment as to nitrate of
soda (or saltpeter. If more convenient)
should be followed with the lima beans.
These, both bush and pole varieties, es
pecially in the north, should be start
ed iu pans or boxes of soil either In the
hotbed or suuuy windows. They muy
be started two or three weeks earlier
than they could with safety be planted
in the opeu ground. Plant one inch
deep, making sure that the eye is down,
one In a place, and far enough apart
that they may readily be taken up
without disturbing tlie roots.
In taking up be sure that the soli is
sutllciently moist to adhere well to
them. It Is best to take plenty of soil
with the plants and set In holes previ
ously dug. With care in handling the
plants may be reset with entire safety
and the season of maturity very much
hastened. The bush limas should be
set two feet apart In the rows, as with
good soil and culture they will spread
a good deal.
IF the JKIIE varieties are to be trained
to .1 single pole, they should be set pre
vious to transplanting the beans. Set
three or four plants around each pole
on a slightly raised mound of earth.
Poles seven feet above the ground are
sufficiently high, and when the vinos
REACH the top they should be tied there
and pinched back.
The trellis iy very desirable, but I
have very little faith in corn or sun
flowers planted in to take the place of
poles or trellis. When poles are used,
the vines must be trained and tied oc
casionally to TIE poles, and the most
convenient way Is to wind the string or
cord used for tying around the left
wrist. This a lows free use of both
hands for the work and saves much
trouble by avoiding tangling the cord.

IMMORAL SUASION.
j It Has Certain Advantages
Over The Milder Moral
Method.
Moral suasion, the appeal to the ra
tional nature of man, is doubtless a very
good thing. But it will not compare
j with immoral suasion for inducing swift
ness of thought or promptness of action.
! The burglar surprised in his raid and
, requested to "please ro away" will
argue the case in the forceful brrglar
way. But when a pistol is pushea in
| his face with the laconic order, " Get! "
1 —he goes and stands not on the order of
bis going. The pistol, with its six solid
arguments, is a wonderful persuader, and
in tbe line of immoral suasion cannot be
surpassed.
It is a reflection on man's reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates, until he is forced to do
it. Common sense tells a man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health „He is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meals result in diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But because Nature does
not directly threaten his life as the pistol
does he goes right along until ne is
obliged to reform because disease forces
him to do so.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
It is only when all her warnings have
been unheeded that Nature no longer
says "You should not" but "You shal.
not." This is practically what happens
when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to a diet of oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
th; pleasures of the table. There are
thousands of others who are on the high
road to a like condition, unheeding the
warnings of the protesting stomach.
The great fact is that every man and
woman who suffers from dyspepsia can
be almost certainly cured by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It always helps. It almost always cures.
Only two people in every hundred who
give "Golaen Medical Discovery " a fair
and faithful trial fail of a perfect and
permanent cure.
"I have been thinking of writing to
you for some time," writes Mrs. W. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robeson Co., N. C.,
"to let you know what a wonderful
thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery did for my little boy. He was
taken with indigestion when he was a

the doctor's treatment for fin long
Stars. We spent all we mad* for doctor
Us, and it did no good. When he
would take a spell of indigestion he -
would' lie for ten and fifteen days, and'
it seemed as though he would die. . He
had these spells every two or three
weeks. He could not eat anything only
a little milk and cracker, ana sometimes
even this would make him sick. He
could not eat any meat or vegetables
and he got very weak ; could not sit up
all day, and I gave up all hope of hu
ever getting any better. Three year*
ago I found one of your bookSj and on
looking it over one day I noticed Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
omended for Indigestion. We bought
some and gave it to our boy. He had
been treated at Hood's Creek by a good
doctor, and at Bennettsville, S. C., and
at Currie, and Lumberton and Maxton,
and was only relieved for a short time.
We gave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce'a
Golden Medical Discovery
and it cured him. He u
well as can be and can eat
anything that he wants
ana it does not hnrt him.
He has not been sick a
day since and it has been
three years since he took
I your medicine. I can
safely say that he Is well."
WHERB WILL IT END?
No one can say where
the results of disease of
the stomach and its allied
org»tis will end. The
stomach is the source of
supply for each organ of
the tiody. Whatever af
fects the stomach to re
duce its strength and its
abilitjr to provide nutri
tion lor the dependent
organs will also affect the
organs themselves. Heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, all
must share the " weak
ness" of the stomach.
When diseases of the
stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition
are cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, diseases of
other organs originating in
stomach "weakness" and
innutrition are cured at the same time.
" I seat you a letter about a year ago,"
writes Mrs. J. Ellis Hamilton, of Farm
ington, Marion Co., West Va. " I stated
my case as plainly as I could, and re
ceived a letter from you in a few days,
telling me to uae Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical l>iscovery and 'Favorite Pre
scription '—a bottle of each. I used
three of each, and feel like a new
woman Don't suffer any pain oi
misery any more. Before using youl
medicines I suffered all the time—had
jaundice, caused from food not digesting
properly. I would hare sick headache
three and four times a week, and jaun
dice every four or five weeks. Could
not do the work myself. I commenced
using your medicines as recommended
for liver complaint, and I am cured.
I doctored three years without relief,
only for a short time, and then I was aa
baa as ever. Haven't had sick headache
since I took the first bottle of medicine."
There is no alcohol in n Golden Medical
Discovery," and it la absolutely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
