The Henderson Geld Leaf says
The bill introduced III the Legs
lature the other day by MI
Hamrick, Populist, to exempt
certain manufacturing plants
from taxation for five years,
should commend Itself to favor
able consideration. The bill IS a
good one and ought to pass, eN-
cept the time shonld be made
ten instead Of five years. This
is the way to induce foreign cap
ital and to encourage local capt
tai to seek investment III nanu-
featuring enterprises. The spirit
of Mr.. Hamrick's bill is correct
and he should be commended tol

FALSE REPORT CORRECT
ED.

Editor FISHERMAN & FARMER.
SRI wish to correct through
the columns Of your paper a
false statement that has been
circulated by some busy-body
who seemingly had nothing else
to do) concerning the condition
of Mrs. J. Caddy who was SO TN
fortunate as to be obliged to have
a foot a1nputated some weeks
ago. The patient, being III very
poor circumstances, gladly &C
cepted the food and clothing sent
I,y the kind ladies Of the Baptist
church and others, and was kept
in plenty of good food until re-
Gently when the aforesaid person
circulated the report that COM
mittee had been formed to attend
to the wants of Mrs. Caddy and
that she would be mitch obliged
to folks if they would stop send
ing so much food, as they had
given her victuals that the doc
tor had forbidden, and made her
worse. The third day after the
amputation the doctor gave her
permission to eat anything she
wanted and no victuals she has
eaten has made her sick i'll any
way; as for the committee, there
was some talk of one at first but
Wheather it was formed or not it
has never been very forward in
its actions, and had it not been
for few kind neighbors she
Mrs. c. would not have had
enough to eat. There are prob,
ably large numbers Of ladies who
would gladly send help who have
had their feelings hurt by this
fake report. To all such l would
entreat by all means to send her
food for it would be gladly and
thankfully received, this l knoa0
as I have been there day after
day. MRS. S. B. BUSH.
The fish and oyster industry of
North Carolina has before it
future which is simply wonder
full. The quantity of fish and
oysters daily shipped from on
our coast, both North and inland
would astonish those not &C
quainted with the business, and
yet the industry is in its infancy.
By actual survey and scientific
Investigation it has been shown
that we have thousands of acres
of bottoms suitable for oyster
beds in our sounds and rivers, ex-
elusive of the natural beds which
are already stocked. The New
River oyster is said to be the
equal of any oyster in the world.
In addition a large amount of
CLAIMS are being shipped North
daily from many points on the
coast Deep sea fishing is assum-
ing large proportions. This is
comparatively a new experiment
in the fishing business, but isl
proving very successful and pro-
ftable. There is room for the
investment of millions of dollars
in the fishing business on the
coast Of North Carolina With the
certainty of large profits. The
depletion of the oyster beds of
the Chesapeake and other points
North gives still greater value to |
those of our State.-Warrenton

WILL PLAY BATTLE BALL.
Turner Teams Of Rock Island and Daven-
port Wnt Have . Bout.


Turner Teams Of Rock Island and Daven-
port Wnt Have Bout.
Avery interesting game is being
practiced by the members Of the Rock
Island and Davenport Turner socie-
ties. 1t is called battle ball and is n
battle royal, although to the eye of
q spectator it seems the model of
simplicity. 1t is very deceiving
game. The game is played by 10
players, five on side. The court in
which it is played at the Turner
gymnasium. at Davenport's new
Turner hall. is 81 feet by 62 feet, the
regular court, however,. being %
by SO feet. The Turner's have
plenty of room and are little above
the average in strength and ability,
using therefore a greater court.
How 1t Is Played.
At each end of the court. which is
marked out on the gymnasium floor
with chalk in the form of an oblong.
center line dividing itinto squares
are placed three sets of ten pins.
These sets are composed of two pins
each, which are placed one yard
apart of the three sets, dividing the
end of the court into thirds. The
player stands IN front of each of
these ten pin sets, while the other
two stand little farther forward in
front of the space left between the
outside sets and the center sets.
The object is to throw 2-pound
leather ball, nine inches in diameter,
beyond the court of the other side,
yet keeping it under rope which is
stretched seven feet above the boun-
Diary line. ~If the ball can be thrown
between the pins of either set, ten
points are scored for the side which
accomplishes the feat. Ii the ball
passes the back boundary of the
opposing court one point is scored.
Should it knock one of the pins down
a point is lost. If the ball should be
thrown over the 7-foot rope a point
is also lost. To play the game it
takes a great deal of skill as well as
science.
The Coming Match.
Next Tuesday evening the Rock
Island Turner'S will go over to con-
test with the Davenport boys. The
two teams play the game somewha,
different. and the Rock Island BOYS
have had neither the facilities mol
practice which the other team has
had. The sport promises an evening
of enjoyment.

How Your Blood is Kept
Pure.
Health Comes From Pure Blood
Pure Blood Depends on Your
Filter Inside You.
Your Kidneys Keep Your Blood Pure
if They Are Well-A Few Facts
About Them, and How to
Make Them Well When
They Are Sick.

Your blood is what nourishcs your
body.
New blood is made every minute.
1t goes to the lungs, gets fresh air,
and then passes through the body.
In passing, it deposits new flesh,
fat, bones. etc. and takes up worn
out matter.
This worn out matter goes to the
kidneys. The kidneys filter it out
of the blood and throw it out of the
body. -
That is, when they are we'll, they
When your kidneys arc well, they
act as perfect filters to keep your
blood pure. When they are sick.
they act imperfectly. They leave
the bad matter in. Sometimes they
take out the good.
| There is nothing more poisonous
than bad blood.
a proof of this is rheumatism. 1t
is simply blood poisoning caused by
the bad matter left in the blood by
sick kidneys.
Bright's disease is the kidneys
working the other way-taking the
good food out of the blood.
Both kinds of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DIR. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One of the most wonderful facts OF
our body is this natural filter inside
us. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don't take enough care
of them. We are sick oftener than
there is any need for. 1t is simply
because we take no heed to our kid
neys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
Rheumatism and Bright's Diseas,
are very common. Anaemia, neural
gia, pain in the back, dizziness, blad
der troubles, gravel, diabetes, sleep
lessness, nervousness.
These are only few symptoms, Of
so-called diseases" Back of then
all are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made t.
. work, all these symptoms will disap
pear.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pill
: are made principally from the root
of the asparagus plant, which has ;
special curative action on the kid
neys. II gives them new life ant
strength. IL helps them to do thei
work as it ought to be done. l
cures their sickness. 1t cleans ant
renews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you will

complexion will clear, aud you
whole body will get renewed life an,

This is the effect of DR.. Hobb'
Sparagus Kidney Pills on the sicl
kidneys, OF tho re-vitalized kidney

life. They will cure you when othe

NO CONsUMpTIVE WILL DIE
So Long As He Can Digest And Assim

All physicians admit this. Yet here the
difficulty begins. How can we build up the
consumptive's body as fast as the disease
tears it down? Let us consider.
Cough mixtures must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates which arrest
the digestion. Their only effect on the cough
is by Supplying the nerves. Let them alone
All foods that are hard to digest must be
avoided, especially fats and oils. Only those
foods that are easily digested and assimilated
should be eaten. Foods not thus accepted by
nature do no good; they do harm Not what
is merely eaten but what is digested and as
simulated gives flesh and strength.

Asparagus is one of the common plants
which are valuable tor medicine, although
| people don't generally know it.
Did you ever eat asparagus:
OF course? s-NssS' ssssS.---lssszszsa @a..yzI
Well, what were the effects on your
| kidneys?
Asparagus has the best healing and
ionic effects on the kidneys of any drug
known.
French physicians discovered this years
| ago, and have used it ever since.
But the best properties of the plant are
to be got in DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills
There is a reason for this, and that is,
| that the extract of Asparagus used in DR..
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills is prepared
from the roots, and not the stalks.
Also, that 1t is prepared by special
process, which extracts all the virtues of
the plant without waste
So that one DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kid
ney Pill is as good as perhaps ten dishes of
Asparagus.
There are medicines for this and drugs
for that, one for rheumatism, another for
Govt, another for Brigbts Disease, or
rather, dozen or more for each sickness
When, all the time Dr. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills would cure any one of
them.
And the cure made would mean a per
feet cure, and not merely short relief
For the truth is that the kidneys are
the real, sure-enough cause of large
number of our principal diseases.
They are supposed to filter the blood,
sln,, 4 e. L
The only reason they don't, is because
they are sick themselves and the only
thing that will cure them is DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
The blood needs continual purifying or
filtering.
Impure blood is poisonous. Poison in
the blood Is disease.
The diseases caused by bad blood are
sometimes called blood diseases A
few of them are Rheumatism, Gout,
Anaemia, Pale and Sallow Complexion,
Chlorosis or Green Sickness, Nervousness,
Neuralgia, etc.
All these, and all other blood diseases,
can be cured by curing the kidneys.
This is the true meaning of aiding
nature" Aid her to throw off sickness by
helping the sick Kidneys
Kidney diseases of all kinds are cured by
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
They will cure Bright's Disease,
Nephritis, Congestion, Diabetes, Pain in
the Back, Sleeplessness, etc.

much.

sickness.
