liquid nourishment is best, and
while soda water is primarily
merely a pleasant beverage, it is
a mild tonic for the stomach,
and with fruit syrups and ice

deal of nourishment, and is
much better than too much solid

'Dr.King’s New Life Pills
The best in the world.
DENVER boasts of the purest drinking
water in the world, but it did not use
that argument in securing the Demo-
cratic national convention.
“Mayor Tox Jonxsoxn prides himself
on his ability to answer questions,”
says the cleveland Leader. Most poli-
ticians pride themselves on their ability
to dodge questions. :
Progress of the times is shown in
the fact that when the Governor of
North Carolina meets the Governor of
South Carolina the conversation is on
how to save water.
‘Tur government ig going to buy
another 100,000 pounds of smoking to-
bacco for the men of the navy. The
navy enjoys the smoke of battle, and
also the smoke of peace.
THE railroads insist that they must
raise rates or reduce wages, and are
afraid if they reduce wages the em-
ployes will strike. “All of which goes to
show that the consumer has no friends.
SECRETARY METCALF declares that
the battleships are in better condition
than when they started on their long
cruise. The trip appears to have im-
proved everything except the livers of
the navy critics.
A young woman in Gibson City, Illi-
nois, has resigned her position as teach-
er in the public schools for the purpose
of going as a missionary to Africa.
Why should she goso far when Chicago
is so near, and where there are more
heathens to the square yard than there
are in Africa to the twelve square
miles? Strange ideas of missionary
work these ‘“‘schoolmarms” have.
LET us rally around the standard of
youth, remembering that the future of
our country shall be what the young
people make it. Let us show our fathers
and mothers that the boys and girls
of today shall be ready to stand forth
fully equipped men and women of to-
morrow. Let us show them the rising
generation which is following in their
footsteps is fully competent to succeed
them and shoulder the responsibility of
the farm, the home and the nation.
THERE is too little brightness in the
lives of the women in the country.
They have too little help in their do-
mestie occupations. The “nurse” in a
house where there is a baby to care for
ought to be set down as one of the reg-
ular expenses, as much as the potatoes
for the family. A mother’shealth, both
of body and mind, is worth more than
stock. The heart should not be allow-
ed to grow old. Life should not have
lost its charm, the heart its spirit, and
the body its elasticity at 40 years. And
yet how many women are faded and
wan, and shattered in mind and health,
long before they-are forty! All the joy
of life is not in youth’s morning. If we
so will it, we can, to the last moment
of life, be at least negatively happy.
READING, writing and spelling, we
say it regretfully—are no longer thor-
oughly taught in the schools of the
land. Young men and women who
seek instruction in telegraphy, stenog-
raphy and typewriting, although of
good ability and gerferal information,
are lamentably deficient in the funda-
mentals of the English language. They
especially can not spell. Out of thirty
of forty words in ordinary use, some-
times one-half, or even two-thirds are
misspelled. This every newspaper
man will stand ready to vouch for
from experience. The schools no long-
er give the common rudiments the at-
tention they should—tco much atten-
tion is given the higher branches be-
fore the common ones have been mas-
tered. Especially do they neglect read-
ing. Girls and boys attending the
common schools should be thoroughly
drilled in reading aloud, to develop the
use of their vocal organs not only in
reading. but in spelling and reciting.
Young ladies and young men, you
should pay more attention to the com-
mon rudiments.
‘ PeruAPs no class of people meet with
go much or so severe criticism as
teachers. Much of this criticism is un-
just, and exists solely because parents
and others listen to unverified reports,
and do nothing to acquaint themselves
with the real inner workings of the
schoolroom. Any person experienced
with children knows that these reports,
even when absolutely truthful from
their point of view, cannot be relied
upon. Again, anyone who has the
training of children, has experienced
theanortifying fact that even the best
trained children sometimes woefully
lapse from their knowledge of good
manners and courtesy when away from
home and among other children. Some
mothers will not tolerate any correc-
| tion of their children’s manners by the
teacher, taking it as a direct insult to
their home training, when it is but the
result of childish heedlessness or self
will. No greater injury ean be done a
teacher than to condemn her at home
in the presence of pupils. There are
many—they usually allude to a teacher
as “schoolmarm’—who persist in be-
lieving and encouraging that a school
teacher is never to be regarded with
other than suspicion.
BUCKLEN’S ARNICA SALVE WINS.
Tom Moore, of Rural Route 1, Coch-
ran, Ga., writes: “I had a bad sore
come on the instep, of my foot and
could find nothing that would heal it
until I applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
Less than half of a 25 cent box won the
day for me by affecting a perfect cure.”

THE SALOON MUST GO.
The saloon must go. The blood of
the myriads it has slain cries out from
the earth for its overthrow. The
groans and tears of heart-broken pa-
rents, the agonies of worse than wid-
‘owed wives, the shame and degrada-
tion of a countless host of children, go
up to heaven in one mighty accusation
against it. Are our eyes blinded, that
we cannot see the malignant curse it
works upon our fellows? Are our ears
leaden, that we cannot hear the mighty
cry of agony that goes up continually
from its victims? Are we so selfish, so
careless of the welfare of those of our
brethren, that we shall not arise in the
interest of eternal right and extermin-
ate these plague-spots of modern civi-
lization, stop up these breeding holes
of hell, shut forever those gates of
death through whose portals there goes
down to damnation an army of 75,000
of our fellow-men every year? The
saloon is the key to the enemy’s po-
sition. Let us capture it and break his
defensive line. With the saloon swept
away, the strength of the foe will have
departed, as did that of Samson when
he was shorn of his locks.
NO HUMBUG.
No humbug claims have to be made
for Foley’s Honey and Tar, the well
known remedy for coughs, colds and
lung troubles. The fact that more bot-
tles of Fcley’s Honey and Tar are used
than of any other cough remedy is the
best testimonial of its great merit.
Why then risk taking some unknown
preparation when Foley’s Honey and
Tar costs you no more and is safe and
sure. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Mil-
ler, proprietor. 7-1
NO MIDDLE GROUND.
Throughout the whole country the
people are awakening up to a realiza-
tion of the intent of the liquor traffic
to rule and ruin this free land of ours:
Men who have heretofore been quiet,
are becoming indignant at the brazen
impudence of the rum power. Patriot-
ism and love for humanity are rising
above party fealty. Men are seeing
that there is no compromise with this
curse! That this country connot re-
main “half drunk and half sober.”
That it must become one or the other.
There is. no middle ground. Either
the lords of rum will rule, and vice and
debauchery prevail, or the intelligence
and virtue of the nation must over-
throw it and take the reins of govern-
ment in its own hands. The conflict is
irrepressible! There are no half-way
of shams, high license. Men may de-
vise schemes and plans to stave off the
inevitable, but they are and must be
abortive. The rum power is determin-
ed to fasten itself permanently upon
this nation! And the intelligence and
conscience of the nation is equally de-
termined that it shall not do it! There
may be parrying and thrusting, and
preliminary skirmishing; but the battle
is bound to come, and when it does, it
will not be a drawn battle! One or
the other will go down! If it shall be
intelligence and conscience, the history
of the republic is finished, the hope of
the world blotted out. If it shall be
triumphant; then a deliverance and
blessing have come to humanity, such
as the world has heretofore never
known!
THINKS IT SAVED HIS LIFE.
Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine,
says in a recent letter: “I have used
Dr. King’s New Discovery many years,
for coughs and colds, and I think it
saved my life. I have found it a re-
liable remedy for throat and lung com-
plaints, and would no more be without
a bottle than I would be without food.”
For nearly forty years New Discovery
has stood at the head of throat and
has no equal. Sold under guarantee at

SENSIBLE ADVICE.
The habit of indulging in the use of
profane or obscene language is one of
the most nonsensical habits a human
being ever acquired. No man or youth
ever raised himself in the estimation of
saint or sinner by the use of foul lan-
guage. Purity of thought and speech
are valuable virtues. And yet, it’s our
honest opinion that the man who un-
wittingly “cusses” a little now and
then, is not half so big a sinner as the
fellow who continuously thinks evil
and speaks evil of his neighbors, and
refuses to pay his honest debts, upon
the theory that “Jesus paid it all, all
the debt I owe.” If the pulpifs of the
land would “go after” the fellows who
refuse to pay their honest debts and to
love their wives and their fellowmen—
“go after” them as vigorously as they
go after the fellows who “cuss and
chew tobacco,” the true reformation of
the race might be nearer at hand.

THE GREATEST DANGER.
According to Mr. Carnegie, the very
gravest of the dangers that beset
young men who aim at success in busi-
ness is the habit of intoxicating liquors.
He says in his book, “The Empire of
Business :”
“The first and most seductive peril,
and the destroyer of most young men,
is the drinking of liquor. I am no
temperance lecturer in disguise, but a
man who knows and tells you what ob-
servation has proved to him; and I say
to you that you are more likely to fail
in your career from acquiring the habit
of drinking liquor than from any-or all
of the otherytemptations likely to assail
you. You may yield to almost any
other temptation, and reform—may
brace up, and, if not recover lost
ground, at least remain in the race,
and secure and maintain a respectable
position. But from the insane thurst
for liquor, escape is almost impossible.
I have known but few exceptions to
this rule.”
A GRAND FAMILY MEDICINE.
“It gives me pleasure to speak a good
word for Electric Bitters,” writes Mr.
Frank Conlan, of No. 436 Houston St.
New York. “It’s a grand family medi-
cine for dyspepsia and liver complica-
tions ; while for lame back and weak
kidneys it cannot be too highly recom-
mended.” [Electric Bitters regulate
the digestive functions, purify the
blood, and impart renewed vigor and
vitality to the weak and debilitated of
both sexes. Sold under guarantee at
E. H. Miller’s drug store. 50c. 7-1°
Very Simple.
Every little while we read in the pa-
pers that someone has run a rusty nail
in his foot or other portion of his body,
and lockjaw resulted therefrom and
the patient died, If every person was
aware of a perfect remedy for such
wounds and would apply it, then such
reports would cease. The remedy is
simple, always at hand, can be applied
by anyone—what is better, it is infalli-
ble. It is simply to smoke the wound,
or any wound that is bruised or inflam-
ed, with a woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke will take the pain
out of the worst case of inflammation
arising from such a wound. People
may sneer at this remedy as much as
they please, but when they are afflicted
with such wounds, let them try it.
THE BEST PILLS EVER SOLD.
“After doctoring 15 years for chronic
indigestion, and spending over two
hundred dollars, nothing had done me
as much good as Dr. King’s New Life
Pills. I consider them the best pills
ever sold:” writes B. F. Ayscue, of
Ingleside, N. C. Bold under guarantee
at E. H. Miller’s drug store. 25¢. 7-1
Don’t Get Seasick.
Short sea trips along the coast are
often delightful ; more often otherwise,
however, because of the choppy seas.
Adequate clothing should be provided
on such outings. A very simple and
helpful aid against seasickness is a
binder or belt worn directly over the
stomach—quite tight—not over the ab-
domen, but the stomach, which occu-
pies that space immediately below the
breastbone.—Doctor West, In the New
Idea Woman’s Magazine, for July.

A couple of years ago a cranky sof
of an old man came into our office aE
stopped his paper because somethigg
in it did not just suit his fancy. We
have frequently met him on the street
since that time, and it is amusing #®
note the look of surprise on the oH
fellow’s face that we are still in exist
ence, regardless of the fact that the
stopped his paper. Some day—and
won’t be long, either—that old gentle-
man will turn up his toes. His heat
will be stilled forever. Neighbors and
friends will follow his lifeless clay te
the silent city and lay it to rest among
the flowers. An obituary will be pub
lished in these columns, telling what =
kind father, a good neighbor and be-
loved citizen he was—which the ze-
cording angel will overlook for charity
sake, and in a very short time he will
be forgotten. As he lies out there im
the cold, cold graveyard, wrappad
the silent slumber of death, he wilt
never know that the last kind wosd
spoken of him was by the editor @
that paper which in life he so spitefai-
ly “stopped.” Did you ever pause jus:
a moment and think that your editos,
whoever he may be, will write your
obituary, some day?
The day is not far distant whem
“cards of thafks” will be a thing of ths
past. When death enters a homs,
neighbors never fail to do all in their
power to place a silver lining back of
the dark cloud, and they do not expest
or desire any thanks through the pu
lic press. One subscriber, however, nag
to be outdone, sent in the followings
“Mr. Editor: T desire to thank the
friends and neighbors most heartily mm
this manner for their co-operatiom
during the illness and death of my late
husband, who escaped from me by the
hand of death on last Friday, while
eating breakfast. To my friends and
all who contributed so willingly te-
ward making the last moments and
the funeral a success, I desire to re-
member most kindly, hoping these
lines will find them enjoying the same
blessing. I have also a good milch cow
and roan gelding horse, eight years
old, which I will sell cheap. ‘God
moves in a mysterious way, His won-
ders to perform. He plants His foot-
steps on the sea and rides upon the
storm.” Also a black and white shoa¢

It is not infrequent that newspapere
find themselves unappreciated by the
men whom they have favored by their
support, column after column being
published in their favor, and yet suck
favors, when the test comes, are unap-
preciated. When you find your home
paper taking no interest in you or yous
success, when you find it keeping ag-
gravatingly silent when you think the
editor should be tearing his linen im
your behalf, do not work yourself inte
a fever of anxiety as to the cause, bu
just ask yourself wherein have yom
placed the paper and its editor undee
obligations to use space and energy for
you.
Recently a citizen of our village was
wheeling home a load of old oyster
cans, bottles, ete., and curious to know
what use he could put them to, we
made inquiry. “Going to throw them
over in my back yard,” he replied.
“We are going to haye some relations
from the city visit us. We may mes
have much to eat, but if they see thess
cang, bottles and boxes lying around,
they will think we’ve had oysters,
champagne, figs and nuts till we've gas
tired of ’em, and are now living am
bread and liver and beans for a healthy
change.”

Stotler’s store, at Keystone Mines,
was broken into Sunday night, amd
clothes, shirts, overalls, shoes, socks
and other goods taken. They left thei
oid clothes behind, and from the looks
of these garments, it could be surmised
that the robbers were not dudes. They
effected an entrance through a window
by scraping away the putty and :taking
out the old glass. No clue hasyettbeen
