The Greensboro Rrt0rH, Comment
ing on the appointment of eX-Gn>'rn"r
Jarvis to succeed the lamcntcd Nan',,
as United States Senator, says:
Gov. Jarvis Will perhaps come
nearer filling Governor Nance's shoes
than any other man in the State.
His ability, honesty OF purpose and
uprightness Of character is without
question. The only thing the Rfc0ya
has heard against his election is that
he is an eastern man. We heartily
endorse his appointment.

ALLUDING TO the fact that some

that no insurance company would take
a risk on his life if he went there.

ALTHOUGH Senator Jarvis is resi-
dent of the Eastern part of the State,
he is a North Carolinian in every
fibre and sentiment, and will repre-
sent the interest OF the people OF the
whole State. We are sure. Broad
minded, unsectional and patriotic he
will know no East or West but labor
for the good of all, The Winston
Sentinel quotes him as saying this:
In an interview with Mr.. II. +.
Fries in Raleigh Senator Jarvis said :
"lou can say TO the people of your
section that shall use my best efforts
to attend to the wishes, and advance
the interests of the people of every
section of North Carolina. While

A Good Son Is This.

An interesting story of filial devotion
is told of a Deering citizen who, ~ 4
yonng man. followed the sea and visited
many foreign lands. settling down at
home some 80 years ago, never having
slept out of his own house but 10 nights
since that time During all these years
he has never failed every day to call at
the neighboring house of his aged par
ents in the early morning before going
to his work in Portland and on his re-
turn at night. He always finds his ia.
ther and mother ready to greet him. He
always says Hello" in his CHEEKY voice,
and the old man replies, Were here,
John" That is all, but 80 years of that
every day is vastly more filial compan-
ionship than falls TO the lot of most IA
Tiers, and fortunate indeed is the moth
err whose fond heart never looks i'll vain
for the daily visit of her son!LLcwis'o

IIetty Green az n BpIle,

While credit must be given Mrs. Het-
ty Green for wonderful shreWdness and
business sagacity in building up her
fortune, 1t must not be forgotten that
she had good start. When her father
died he left her 50, 900, 600 to fight the
battle of life with. 1t was more money
in those days than it is now. He was an
old whaler and shipping merchant Of
New Bedford named Edward Mott Rob
inson. He married "A Miss Rowland,
and the full name of Mrs. Hetty Green
is Harriet Rowland Robinson Green.
She was her fathers private secretary
for four or FIVE years before his death,
and in this way she acquired "A knowl-
edge of business matters Old Robinson
was frugal aud economical to extremes,
and among the lessons early impressed
upon the daughter mind were econ
omy aud simplicity in daily life and
the value and virtue of money.
Before the war began Mrs Green, at
that time Miss Hetty Robinson, the
heress, spent several winters in New
York and was almost n belle in society
She had considerable beauty Of "A robust
sort and her family and fortune were
certainly irreproachable.
She lived for time in boarding
house on West Twenty-second street,
and when she went to parties would
walk from there. 1t is related that
rather than pay cab fare she used to
pull IA pair of heavy stockings over her
stout shoes and tramp through the snow
to a reception or ball. pulling the stock
ings off when she arrived and spreading
them out somewhere to dry.-New

Il guess ex-senator Dick Oglesby of
Illinois never forgot reception tender
ed him at Lincoln, Ills, said R. l..
Matheny of Springfield. Lincoln was
comparatively a new town and growing
very rapidly. the citi zens believing that
it was destined at an early time to be
larger than Bloomington Peoria or
Springfield. Therefore when Hon. Rich
ard Oglesby, candidate for governor,
was billed to speak there elaborate prep
arations were made for his reception in
order to surpass all other towns. First
a band wagon, then the old soldiers on
foot with flags, then carriages contain
ing the city officials and the distin-
guished guest, then citizens in carriages
and ON foot were to march in process
sion. Every vehicle in the place had
been engaged except an express wagon
that operated as She town dray Even
fhe hack that usually conveyed passen-
gers from the depot to the hotels was
put into requisition, and the express
wagon took its place as bus. The only
thing that was left undone was to OBJ
tain information of the fact that the
train changed time on that day and
came in two hours earlier than usual.
1T came in, and two passengers
alighted Hon. Richard Ogeshy and
Methodist preacher. They were placed
in the express wagon and started for
the hotel. The master Of ceremonies
for the day heard of it in some way and
Immediately notified the leader of the

That worthy lost all judgment. and not
seeing any OF the other musicians ran
up the street until he csped the express
wagon. Then making profound bow
to the governor and preacher he walked
in front of them, and with dignifed
step guided them, up the street to the
tune of Behold, the Conquering Hero
Comes. The governor was too angry
to ever tell it. and the citizens of LIN
coin kept it a profound secret, but the
Methodist preacher enjoyed it and never
tired of relating how he and the gov
ernor of Illinois were escorted to the
hotel by "a solitary fifer. st. Louis

This appalling statement should have
the attention oil our citizens. There is
no reason to-day. why people should
allow kidney disease to get such hold
on them.
Nature sends her warning in the slight
pain in the back, poor circulation of the
blood, sediment in the urine. When any
of these symptoms appear, DR.. David
kennedv's Favorite Remedy should be
taken in small doses at once. and thus
drive the poison out of the blood and
restore the kidneys to healthy action.
TO our knowledge this is the only n,edi-
cine that surely cures this almost uni
versal complaint.
