Dr. kingsbury, the able editor
OF the Wilmington Messenger,
md also a leading Methodist,
has the following to say in his
paper in regard to the action Of
The Methodist conference on the
higher education question:
1.-The North Carolina confer-
ence adopted resolutions, lhe
result Of which is two foIo, to
place the Methodist church ii.
antagoniam to the University of
North Iu.olina now more than
one hundred years old, and
secondly % cripple it's operations
If the 81 1t and intent of tho
resolutions are successfully car
ried out. II is unfortunate for
the state that the hostility has
been so strongly and widely de-
veloped. The University is
really the chiefest ornament and
glory of North Carolina. II is a
great thing for the people who
love education and would serve
North Carolina forging biavely
to the front for higher and still
higher education that they have
so well equ pped and progress.

WILL ESTABLISH FARMS.

The Charlotte Observer says:
The statement that the Seaboard
Air Line will establish a model
farm every ten miles along Its en-
tire system, that intending settlers
may see what can be done in
farming on its line, deserves to
be hailed with satisfaction. The
idea is one which has been adopt
ed by a number of the progressive
railroad systems of the country,
presumably with the expected re.
suits. This movement is another
forward step Tor the Seaboard,
which is under an aggressive and
up-to-date management and is
making itself we'll known 10 the
business world.

gcrous To- life and very expensive, but
in tie light Of modern med cal research

unnecessary. If YOU have any doubt
on this point kindly read the following
letters from reople who know that our
claims regardil & the merits of the Pyra
mid Pile Cure are borne out by the
facts.
From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road. Niagara

The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co.. of Albion

edy for all forms of plies. So great has
been the number of testimonial letters
received by them from al parts Of the
country that they have decided to pub
lish each week n number of such let
ters and never use the same letter
twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
