The man who eats because he is
hungry is, thus far, on level with
the brutes. The man who stops eating
the moment his hunger is appeased is
the wise man. Nature needs no more
food than she calls for. Continued
excess brings about Indigestion or
dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength,
sleep, ambition and mental power
and an accumulation of aches, pains
and many dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some arti-
ficially digested food which can also
digest other foods. That is to say,
we must use the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. Chronic pain distress ceases
Appetite presently revives. Flesh and
vigor gradually come back, and the
sufferer RECEIVERS. But he must be
careful in the future. A trial bottls

Breathed fragrance forth thro' mornings door

At Edenton the Norfolk and South
ern Railroad has the terminus of its
first division. Passengers and freight
are CARRIED across the sound by boat
and thence conveyed by rad as far
South as i}eihaNeu.
Several regular lines of freight and
passenger boats ply between Edenton
aud the outside world The "Oliye,"
Of the Albomarle Steam Navigation
Company. runs TO Tunis and Franklin,
and connects with the Southern, A. G.
T.. and Seaboard Air Line systems of
railways. Handsome steamers ply be
tween Edenton and Plymouth, and
others carry the daily loads OF freight
aud passengers up tho Roanoke, Chow
an and Scuppernong into the nearby
counties. The smaller schooners and
steamers engaged in tho carrying trade
OF the section are too numerous to
catalogue.
Edenton is thus situated in the cen
tire of this section OF Northeastern
North Carolina, one Of the richest por-
tions OF Gods earth the sun shines
upon. 1t is admirably adapted to any
kind OF manufacturing enterprise
Labor is excellent and cheap, the CLIP
mate is all that could be desired, sites
the very best are numerous and can be
obtained at very low price. Trans
portation by land and water makes
distribution very easy in every direc-
ton. A large portion OF the cotton
raising region is in easy reach of Eden
ton, and q cotton factory here would
prove one Of the most profitable OF in
vestments. Already plans are on foot
to build a modern knitting factory to
be operated entirely by home capital
One of the enterprises that would seem
here to offer the largest return, is the
manufacture OF commercial fertilizers.
Ii means big fortune to the man or
company that will utilize the thou
sands OF tons OF scrap and offal that
come from the seine fisheries and
make the richest fertilizing material in
the world. A large amount OF all kinds
of truck are raised here and canneries
on a large or small scale would prove
paving investments.
Edenton is all that could be desired
as a place of residence The Edenton
Academy is one of the best prepare
tory schools in the State, and has a fit-
ting home in one OF tho handsomest
and best arranged new school build
ings in the State.
Edenton is city OF churches, and
handsome religious structures house
the various congregations of the. city.
From the ancient, UNCOVERED ST
Paul's to the handsome new Methodist
church that shines Respondent in it's
newness, the churches are structures
that would do credit to any place.
Rev. Robert Brent Drane is rector OF
ST. Paul's Episcopal church, that dates
it's organization back to 1901; Rev. Mr..
Watson is pastor Of the Baptist
church: ST. AIMS Catholic church iS
ministered to by Rev. Father Quinn,

was the business site of Joseph Hewes,
signer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. and here he did business for
many years"
But Joseph Hewes was not the only
Edentonian in whom burned the fires
of liberty. Two months before the De-
claration of Independence was signed
at Philadelphia the vestry of st. PauFs
church declared their independence of
the English church and the British
crown and took their stand with the
patriots of Mecklenburg. Many of the
descendants of these brave vestrymen
live in this town of Edenton to-day.
The church is an old English structure
cloaked in clinging ivy, and Thomas
Gray might have written his Elegy in
this very church-yard. The graves
and memorial tablets Of Governor
Eden and a host of dignitaries of the
colony lie in the shadow of the ancient
church. Rev. Robert Brent Drane,
the scholarly rector has library that
abounds in historical treasures and he
himself is one of the best-informed
students of our early history.
The old courthouse that stands at
the head of Court Square has seen its
trials and arguments of counsel since
1874.
The lodge of Ancient, Free and Ac-
cepted Masons received its charter di-
rect from His Grace, the Duke of Beau
fort in 1775. The chair used by George
Washington when he presided as
Grand Master of Winchester Lodge,
near Mt Vernon. is on exhibition in
the lodge room. 1t was brought
to Edenton during the war of 1912,
when the English marched up the
Chesapeake and the Potomac laying
waste the land and even burning the
White House at Washington.
The old manor of Hayes" that was
the seat of James Johnston is proba-
bly, the best example of colonial archi-
lecture and the grandeur of ante-State
and ante-bellum days in North Caro-
lima. It's owner was the wealthiest
man in the State, and it was averred
that scores of his thousand slaves had
never seen their master. This grand
old mansion fronts on Edenton Bay,
and from its long verandas stretch
away the blue waters until water and
sky blend in the line of contact. The
grounds and groves form a marvellous
symphony of flower and evergreen. In
the old graveyard of the estate lie
buried a colonial Governor, a Justice
of the Supreme Court of the State,
