Wanted an Exchange of Condolences.
In an account Of the campaign in
Georgia, Gen. J. s. Fullerton tells this
story: "The strain was constant day
after day. There was no struggling.
Every man on both sides was required
to be in his place. It was while moving
back from one position to another that
the incident occurred of which some
of you have heard. Hardee-you know
what a disciplinarian he was-came

BalmOral Tartan.

Several of the rooms at Balmoral
were redecorated this year with the
"royal Balmoral tartan," the pattern
of which was designed by the late
prince consort for the exclusive use Of
members Of the royal family, as he
considered that the old 'royal Stuart
tartan" had become too common. Sew
eral shawls and plaids Of this tartan
invariably figure among the wedding
gifts Of the queen to members Of the
British royal family.

The Oldest Stalnn

Partisan stamp collectors have been
discussing the question whether, the
English stamp of 1910, called the Row.
land Hill stamp, is really the oldest
in existence, and the cCEclrsion arriv-
ed at is opposed to this view. They
claim that the first French stamp dates
from nearly two Ger. tt ries earlier, In
1853. In that year people lsed to buy
at the Palais de Justice, in Paris, "bil-

Fatality of Engineering Enterprises

According TO M. Eifel the cost in
lives of any great engineering work
can be estimated at least as accurate
" as the cost in money. 1T has been
asc~ertained," he says, "by statistical
observation, that in engineering enter
prises one man is killed for every mil
lion francs spent on the work. If you
have to build a bridge at a cost Of
100000 900 francs, you know that you
will kill 100 workmen."

JOHN BOYD THATCHER A WITNESS
He Fully Verihes a Disputed Worlds
Fair Award.

Fa1r AWarO.
John Boyd Thatcher is laconic and
decisive in his statements. During the
lively campaign just closed in New
York, this marked him especially as
chairman the Democratic State Com
mittee. It was equally true of him as
Chairman of the Executive Committee
on Awards at the Worlds Fair. This
is the positive and sententious way in
which he verifies in an official letter,
the honors won by DR.. Prices Baking
Powder: II herewith enclose you an
official copy Of the award, which in
due time will be inscribed in the d.
ploma and forwarded" Thus the ques-
ton respecting the award, raised by
an envious New York rival, is settled
beyond cavil. This same rival, by the
way is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records prove
this claim wholly false, as they show
the New York pretender was not so
much as All exhibitor 1T the Worlds
Fair.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of a perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has Siven satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Red.Haired Girls.

History shows that the red-headed
woman is fascinating. They say that
the locks of Helen of Troy were of
that color; also those Of Mary Queen
Of Scots. There was, not so long ago, a
time when this tinge was Knocked at
by the vulgar. Happily this period is
past. Without making odious compar-
isons with her darker or golden-haired
sisters, we confess to being admirers
Of the red-headed girls, whom the
impressionist painter have taken as
their halo-crowned ideal. Therefore we
hold that whereas the number has in
creased and is increasing, it ought not
to be diminished.

Foremost among the best known lawyers

Isaac A. Sugg of Greenville. MIR. Sugg has
resided in Greenville twenty-five years.
While nearly every one in Pitt county
knows Mr.. SIS history, perhaps all do not
know OF his return to business again after
an illness of sixteen years. No man has
gone through more than he and lived. It
was a case of the entire breaking down of
the nervous system, attended by excruciat-
ing, agonizing, uncomfortable pain. Opiates
and all treatments failed him. Only his love
Of family and friends prevented suicide.
He told a reporter the following interesting
story:
II kept at my work as long as I could,
but nature gave way at last and I sue
cumbed to the inevitable. My entire nerv-
GUS system had been shattered by tho
stimulants and opiates I had taken, INV
blood had actually turned to water, my
weight had dropped from 173 pounds to 1913
and it seemed to everybody that the end

tie hand of my wife to battle mylimbs with
tepil water. Twas simply living from hour
to hour. had made my will, settled my
business and waited for the last strand Of
life to snap.
"E was at this time that a somewhat
similar case as my w was brought to my
notice. This man had suffered very much
as I had, his life had been despaired of as
mine had, n yet he had been cured.
Think what that little word meant to me
CURED. The report stated that the work
had been accomplished by a medicine
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l investigated the report thor
oughly and found that it was true in detail.
Then I procured some Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and began taking them and began to
get better. began to sleep like a health
ful child, souId, calm and peaceful. My
appetite came back and my nerves were
soothed and restored to their normal condi-
ton and I felt like a new man. But the
greatest blessing was the mental improve
ment. 1 began to read and digest, to formu-
late new plans, to take an interest in my
law practice, which began to come back to
me as soon as my clients realized tina T
was again myself. After a lapse of ten
years I ride horseback every day without
fatigue.
"That DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved nv
life is beyond doubt, and I am spreading
their praises far and wide"

As the regiment was on the march to

moned to battle. He served Mcclellan,
Burnside, Thomas, Sherman, and Grant
with unfaltering fidelity and zeal. When
relieyed from the command of the Army
of the Potomac, the only favor he asked
of Lincoln was the privilege of changing
places with Meade-to command a corps
under his late subordinate-so that he
might share in the dangers and honors
of the campaign he had begun. Lincoln
said Meade objected.

that if a man has made good use of his
life, bis fellow-citizens owe something to
his memory. / stand here to-day in the

his country. He loved its defenders.
He has passed into history with the great
characters of '61 to go. He was a
favorite of Lincoln. He filled glorious
pages of our american annals. He was
loyal son of Massachusetts,. He was
proud of her soldiers, many of whom he
led in battle-and among all her sol
diers he was the foremost. His name

Poison sumach and Poison Ivy.

There is difference in the general appear
arce of the plants, both as TO stalks and
foliage, by which the poisonous and the
harmless varieties of the sumach can be dis
tinguished from each other, writes Eben f.
Rexford in very valuable article on . Our
Poisonous Plants" in the June Ladies Home
Journal. The former has light-colored stalks
frequently blotched with white or gray, and
the foliage is thin and firm iii texture, with a
glossy surface, while the latter has soft,
thick leaf, brown stalk, hairy in the early
stages of the new growth, and is of much
stronger habit often becoming quite a tree.
This variety bears fruit thickly covered with
crimson hairs in spiky, terminal bunches
while the poisonous variety has berries Of a
greenish white-very similar in size and
color to those of the poison ivy-in loose
pendent clusters, along the upper part of
the branches. The harmless rhus is almost
always found on the uplands and in open
spaces, while the poisonous sort prefers
moist ground and shade. The former takes
on a most beautiful variegation in Fall, its
pinnate, pslmste foliage turning 10 red,
scarlet, and maroon of exceedingly rich and
brilliant shades, while the latter becomes 4
pale yellow.
This poisonous variety is a most danger
