FIELD, ME- AND RILEY,

The news that the illness of James
Whltcomb Riley is not serious is re-
assuring. The admirers of that great
popular trlumvlrate, Eugene Field
Edgar Wilson Nye and James Whit
comb Riley, were shocked more than
words can tell at the untimely taking
off of the two former, and the sickness
of the latter, at first announced to be
OF the gravest nature, naturally became
an ominous foreboding of death. We
associated them together 50 much in
life that we felt that the relationship
should be continued in death. Gene
and Bill and Hm-one touch of nature
made them and the whole world kin.
Crowned aud sceptred they were by
nature-rich with its elemental life
"The humber poets, whose songs
guShed from the heart,
Like showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start"
God spare the Hoosier poet to us
since in His wisdom he has seen fit to
take from US the two greatest testers OF
the day, whose gentle humor and
kindly wit were as broad, as bright,
as beautiful and as bountful as the sky,
passing as current coin Of the literary
realm in every intelligent household.
May all of them be numbered among
the immortals of earth and of heaven.

Vance,.

There was darkness in the political
armament when that fixed polar star
Of the peoples rights, faded from
sight, and vanished into the great I'M
known.
A patriot, soldier, a statesman,
and friend; grand citizen, devoted
husband. an indulgent and affection
ate father, an idolized public servant,
an incorrigible foe to corruption, an in
flexible and unpurchaseable, honest,
simple hearted and beloved man, was
the late Zebulon B. Vance.
Let monument to his memory rear
it's columns amidst the floating clouds,
and battle its summit in the splendor
of a never setting sun, that coming
generations may know what manner
of man he was. Let it teach them that
his life was devoted to the interest and
liberty of the poor and oppressed, to
the lifting up Of humanity, the eleva
ton of the race to which he belonged,
and to the advancement and ameliora-
ton of the condition of the colored peo-
pie as well.
Orator, publicist, and scholar
learned and profound; without bigotry :,
or pompous display, he walked in and
out among his fellow men, as simple
in his manner as child, yet as power
full as giant.
No glittering ceremonials ofcourt at
tended his person to attract and arouse
popular enthusiasm; no retinue or liv-
cried flunkies, and time-serving me-
malls followed in his footsteps; no
trumpet blasts and resounding drums
heralded his presence, but breathing
the pure air Of liberty himself, his
greatest concern was, that his fellow
citizens, regardless Of cast, should
breathe the same air and live in the
same atmosphere of political and re-
ligiOus independence.
A great, good, and heroic man was
our lamented Vance. North Carolina
is proud of this son of hers, who walk
ing not in byways and hedges of life,
rather preferring to dwell upon noun
tain heights, where he could be seen
and read of all men, whose heart beat
with love for his people, and whose
memory and whose grave is a COM
mon heritage to us all.
Before the dawn of the twentieth
century let the heroic form Of this
great North Carolinian in silent gran
deur and sublimity stand in whitest
marble amidst the scenes and surround
ings of his greatest achievements, in
the beautiful capital grounds of his
own, his native and glorious State

HOW TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY

There is one way in which almost
any one who lives in a community
where there is a newspaper, can be
helpful to the community directly, and
to the newspaper indirectly. To al
most any one who thinks outside OF
his or her threshold, there sometimes
come ideas or suggestions, which II
put into words would be helpful to
some one. These could be jotted down
as they come and occasionally put to-
ge,her AID given to the newspaper
man who would be glad to publish
them. 1t may Be that farmer learns
something about his business that he
could in a fc" lines communicate to
his brother farmers and thereby bene-
fit them greatly. 1t may be that some
good housewife in her taily rounds OF
duty in housekeeping makes some OBJ
servaiion which would be valuable aid
to some other housekeeper. This could
B6wrt,en out in a few lines and given
to the newspaper man who would be
glad to print it for he benefit of house
keepers generally. -
Some will say they would be glad to
DO SO, but they do not wish to appear
in print. Blu, it Is not necessary to
have your name printed to the little
bit of information you send. Just send
the information and sign your name
that the newspaper man may know he
is not being imposed upon, and he
will print the item and leave your name

teen years she has been badly broken
told suffering, and frequently rendering
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale off by the hand
full, and at one time an awful sore APP
peared on her ear, which became severe
ly infamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out on her head
and her hair was a continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
"Of course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various sa1ves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be we'll. l was advised
several times to send her to Hot Springs,
and also 10 a celebrated spring in Michi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
GA lew months ago, someone recon-
1nerded S. S. S., and as soon as her sys-
tenn had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tinued to improve in every way We
were delighted to see her so much bet
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get we'll. The medicine was con-
tinucd while longer, and now she is
cured sound and we'll, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened to blight her life for
ever. The cure is all the more remark
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been in our family for several
generations, and I am happy to find
in S. S. S. a cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure. I consider S. S. S. a most wonder
full remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch. :"
This experience is like that of all others
WHO seek relief from the many so-cal1ed
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.
It IS but Jolly to expect cure from this
dreadful disease by the use of salves,
lotions, or any external application.
The disease is in the blood, and
only blood remedy can eliminate it..
S. S. S. is real blood remedy, guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and for real deep
seated blood diseases, has no equal. 1t
cures permanently Scrofula, letter,
Rheumatism, and all of the many blood
diseases. 1t has made some truly re-
markable cures of Cancer, full accounts
of which can be had on application; our
valuable books on blood and skin dis
eases will also be sent free to any ad-
dress. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta,

MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.

MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
Last week by way of showing up the
business methods of Geo. P. Rowell
& Co.-their policy of beating down
newspapers in prices paid for adver-
tising-we asked this question:
How many of our State exchanges
that are publishing the American To-
bacco Company's advertisement took
it at price they would charge their
home merchants for the same space?
The editor Of a daily paper in the
Western part of the State. in private
letter, says:
awe we're offered the ad you speak
of at sI2o the year. We asked s24o
and got it. o, that the newspapers
of North Corolina would stand up for
fair pricesl They could always, or
nearly always, get their price if they
would show backbone.
That is precisely what the GOLD
LEAF has commended all the while. And
if they did not get price that per
mitted a fair and reasonable pro fit,
they would be better off without the
business altogether.
We do not blame Rowell & Co.
land we mean other agents and adver-
tisers as well) SO much as we do those
publishers who allow themselves to be
"beat" out of their space by them. II
is a part of their business to make a
profit out of the newspaper as we'll as
the advertiser, and if half price will
serve the purpose of full pay then SO
much the better for the advertising
agents end of the transaction. In
this connection the bllowing para
graph taken from an article in the
March number of the Publisher S
AuriHay, is timely reading. 1t
says:
Another mistake made by many
country publishers is when they accept
foreign advertising at lower rates than
those received from local merchants.
The home advertiser is the mainstay
of the country newspaper, and any dis
elimination made in rates should not
be against him, but should be in his
favor. The foreign advertiser comes
and goes, as suits his pleasure; his bus
mess is not TO be depended upon. The
home advertiser, on the other hand
may be relied upon for steady in
come. Then why should the publisher
charge the local merchant more fol
advertising than the foreign advertiser?
Neither as an abstract question O.
justice, nor on business grounds
can such course be defended. Lee
the publisher treat all advertisers alike
as nearly as possible, but if any dis
elimination is to be made let it be ir
favor of his fellow townsman.

Tile special tobacco Edition.
the Nezos ami Observer, issued Sun
day, was a pleasant surprise 10 It's
friends. With the "School Edition
and "Cot;on Mill Edition" still freshf
in their minds, they expected much,
but this last effort surpassed them all.
1t was 40 pages in size, profusely IL
lustrated, its subject matter being as
interesting and instructive in character
as it was broad in scope and comprehen-
sve n detail 1t was a complete his
tory of the tobacco industry in North
Carolina, It's culture, leaf traffic and
manufacture "a business the propor
tlons and importance of which we dare
say is a revelation to many people IN
the State as we'll as outside Of it.
From the statistics gathered it is
shown last years sales of leaf were
$4,000, 900 pounds, and that the av-
erage price was 8 cents. There were
$4,000, 900 pounds OF tobacco manu-
featured in the State, this taking the
various forms of plug, twist, cigars,
cigarettes, and snuff, worth $1,000, 900.
This edition reflects great credit
upon the News ami Observer staff,
and especially upon Mr. F. 3. Aren-
dell, who did most of the work of
gathering information and putting the
mass of matter into proper shape tor
the printers. 1t was a difficult and
onerous task but the work has been
we'll done-as only Mr. Arendell could
have done it. The paper is embel-
lished with cuts of many of the leading
men identified with the tobacco inter
ests of the State, with pictures of
number of the principal factories and
warehouses, together with a full de-
scriptlon of the same.
BY the production of such a paper
the publishers have done we'll builded
better than they knew. One of the
needs of outsiders is more and fuller
information about North Carolina, its
industries and resources, its advant-
ages and opportunities. 1t is not
enough that we ourselves should be in
formed about these things but we
should impart our information TO
Others that they may be induced to
come and settle amongst us and by
the aid Of their capital and brains
and labor help to develop the waste
places, utilize the dormant resources
and improve the opportunities that
present themselves on every hand.
By its special industrial editions 'the
Nezos and Observer is doing a most
commendable work along this line.
Such publications as its "School Edi-
tlon," "Cotton Mill Edition. and
"Tobacco Edition" cannot fail of pro-
duclng great and permanent good TO
the State
Such enterprise and public spirit
Is worthy Of the broad minded, State
loving, progressive gentlemen by whose
lreless industry, patient labor, tact
and judgment these comprehensive
histories Of Industrial North Carolina
have been made possible.
