TT-Hot waves are caused by low areas
appearing in the northwest and NOV
ing east and south, thus bringing about
warm winds from the south, and dis
appearing as the development of high
areas in the northwest. One of the ac-
companying phenomena of hot waves
was hot winds coming from the south
west, their cause being somewhat OBJ
scure. DR.. Frankenfield states that as
a rule they move in narrow belts, rang
ing from 100 feet to half mile in
width. No good cause can be assigned
for this, save, probably, local topog
raphy.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Remarkable Career of an Infant Left in
Founding Hospital

Founding Hospital.
One night in 1901 little girl about
one year old was deposited in the draw
er of the founding hospital at Brest
She was dressed with much finery, and
a note attached to her skirts told that
her name was Solange, and that she
would be reclaimed by her father.
When she was 10 years old she was
sent out into the streets to sell flowers,
tracted many peoples good will: but
she grew weaker and weaker and at
last died, or, at least, it was thought So.
According to French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, as it was
winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave covered only with a
thin layer of sand. During the night
she awoke. and, pushing the sand
away, crept out from the grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not so very much
frightened; but in crossing the glade
between the cemetery and the fortiti-
cations, she was suddenly stopped by
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the sentinel fired, and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guard house, her
wound was found to be very slight, and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history, and also her great beauty had
made so deep an impression on a young
lieutenant of the garrison-Kramer-.
that he determined to be her protect
or, and sent her to one of the most sh-
ionable educational establishments IN
Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war;
but when, in 1918, he returned to Paris,
he found Solange full-grown woman.
not only beautiful, but accomplished
and spirited, with no more trace of in
tellectual weakness or nervous fits. lie

couple lived happily in Paris.
Meanwhile Investigations were made
concerning the girl left in 1901 i'll the
founding. hospital at Brest, and. as
these Investigations We're made by the
Swedish ambassador, and in a some
what official manner, they attracted
some attention.
Capt. Kramer heard about the in
quiry and sent note to the ambassa-
dor, and month later the ambassador
came in state to bring Nine. Kramer a

Doctors are often handicapped by the

women, they suggest and insist on exam

lutely unnecessary. Many q woman has
been thrown into dangerous state of ner-

such treatment Many women lie to the
doctor. That sounds hard, but it is un-
doubtedly true. They know that if they
admit certain symptoms that the doctor
will inevitably insist on an examination"
They do not give him all the facts in the
case, and SO he works in the dark. Quite
often the doctor is too busy and too hurried

facts. He frequently treats symptoms for
what they appear to be on the surface, when
the real cause and the real sickness is deeper
and more dangerous. A arrangement of
the distinctly feminine organs will derange
the whole body. The woman herself may
not know exactly what is the matter with
her, but whenever she is sick, there are two
things she should look out for first One is
what is called female weakness - the
other is constipation, for these two things
frequently go together. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed for the cure
of diseases and disorders of women and it
does cure them. 1t has been performing its

thousands of women have been made happy

constipation, and contingent ills. Druggists

ignorance, they will try to sell you some
thing else. There is nothing "just the

THE SOUTH's OPPORTUNITY.
1t is for GoIdsboro to do for Herself.

During the week heavy sales
of real estate were made in the
South to Northern and Western
colonization enterprises; the tide
of population moving this way is
steadily increasing; capital will
follow the people, and soon there
will be wonderful advance in
industrial interests, in railroad
construction, in city growth and
in land values in every part Of
the South where the local people
do their full share in making
known the attractions and re-
sources for their locality.
Any section which fails to
share in this prosperity will
have only it's own people to
blame.
Are you doing your full share
or are you waiting for others to
do it for you?
The town, the county or the
property owner wishing to reach
the people of the North and
West must hustle for priority
and recognition.
We must first make our town
attractive and truly progressive
before we can reasonably expect
desirable growth from outside.
Goldsboro is advancing along
all lines of industrial develop
ment. Let us keep this fact
prominent.

THE SOUTH LEADS.

It Will surprise many people
to know tha5 the per capita value
of the agricultural products Of
the South is greater than that Of
any part Of the country. The
federal Bureau of Statistics has
recently completed reports for
the year 1894 which shows that
the twelve leading crops Of the
South for that year, were worth
S737, 408, 143, while the twelve
most important crops in all the
rest Of the country com bined
were worth only 81, 100, 965, 674.
The per capita value Of these
crops was $33 for the South and
only 500 for the rest of the coun-
try. Cotton is considered the
leading Southern product. but
the corn crop Of the South is
more valuable. Our cotton crop
of 1894 was worth $3.50, o,OOO,OOO,
but our corn crop was worth
$29O,O14.97 and all the corn
grown in all the rest of the coun-
try was worth only 1864. 7O4. 181.
The South raised nearly $4,000,
900 worth Of tobacco against
81, 766, $50 worth in the rest of
the country. Our sugar crop
was worth SIS, 900, 900, and our
rice 50. 10000
The Houston Post, comments
ing on this report, makes an ex-
cellent point when it says:
A great advance is possible ~
the hay crop. where we are wo-
fnlly behind, and yet the section
is most admirably adapted to its
cultivation. With hay and corn
we ought to furnish the world
with meat products, with horses
and mules. With our cotton we
ought TO become the greatest
manufacturing section Of the
world, supplemented by our iron
ores and coal. In ten or twenty
years it is more than probable
that these distinctions will be
realized-tfat we will not; only
