ABOUT HARD TINES,

New and expensive modes OF
life in some localities tend to
make times harder. Occasionally
a traveller strikes an old-fashion>
ed neighborhood in the South
where people have adopted very
few neW-fangled ideas, and he
fnds that they live comfortably
and have a little surplus cash.
But these people are willing to
be plain. They do not attempt to
make a show.
In some Southern towns and
cities men invest more money
than they can afford in fine resi-
dences. They have to live in g
style suited to their establish
ments, and they mortgage their
homes, Naturally, these men are
pressed for money in their bust.

ways grumbling and kicking and

1T is EASY TO TELL,

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not anxious about their health soon
enough. If you are mot quite well"
or ''half sick have you ever thought
that your kidneys may be the cause of
your sickness?
Its easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates al unhealthy con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to uri-
nate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache
in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order,
There is satisfaction in knowing thai
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and al
forms of bladder and urinary troubles

life and activity to the kidneys-the

the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need g

BEET SUGAR IN THE SOUTH.

According to the dispatch from
Richmond, Va, the Southern
Sugar Refinery Company has been
organized in that city with a cap
ital of 81, 600, 900. James B.
Pace, one of Virginia's most
prominent business men, is at the
head of the concern. The company
has been formed for the pur-
pose of making sugar from beets,
and to buy the product raised by
Virginia farmers. Experiments
made with sugar beets in the State
have resulted very successfully,
the proportion of saccharine mat
ter to the vegetables being consid-
cradle. The State Board Of Agri-
culture of Virginia and others
have been agitating the matter of
raising sugar beets, and doubtless
the factory in Richmond will
greatly stimulate the industry.
while this is the first COM
pany of the kind to be or
ganized in Virginia it will no
doubt be followed by 9th
ers throughout the South, as the
opportunities for the cultivation
of the sugar beet and the manu-
facture Of sugar become known
to the people of the various
States.
Sugar beets can be grown very
successfully in many parts of
North Carolina, but the industry
has never been entered upon in
this State. It would be a good
idea to try it. There is money in
it, and those who embark first
will begin earliest to reap the har-
vest. It is understood that a num-
Der of parties in this State are
now Investigating the subject,
and the result may be that some
attention will be given to beet
sugar in North Carolina. There
is no lack of market for sugar,
as the United States still falls
short Of raising all it consumes
by over 800, 100000 annually.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only me way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
in1amed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.l

catarrh) that cahnot be cured by Halls

ARRIVES IN MADRID.
Weyler's Reception at the Span
ish Capital Was not Very
Enthusiastic

Madrid, Dec. Is. L Gen.
Weyler arrived here this afternoon.
e was received at the railway
platform by Gen. Azcarraga,
former Premier; Gen. Borrero,
former commander of the Sixth
Army Corps, and by a number of
Republicans, Carlists, Conserva-
tives, and Robledoiste.
AS he allighted from the train
they cheered him, and then car
ried him, shoulder high, to the
entrance of the railway station,
where he took a carriage and was
rapidly driven off. There was no
further incident, the public ap-
pearing Indifferent.
A few friends including Senior
Romero Robledo, accompanied
him to his apartments. About a
hundred people had collected, but
dispersed almost Immediately after

The partisans of Gen. Weyler
pretend that a crowd of 5000
people rendered him an ovation,
with shouts of ssLong live Wey-
ler.' "Death to the Yankees -
and the like. He will be received
by the Queen Regent tomorrow.
Ell Correo Espanol says that the
Carlists have abandoned their pre-
jected demonstration against Pres
ident McKinley's message to Con
gress, as they have not been able
to agree on the subject.
1t is alleged that the insurgents
in Eastern Cuba have asked the
government for details as to the
extent and nature of autonomy,
with a view Of coming to terms.
Gen. Weyler, in the course OF
an interview, expressed the pleas
ure it had given him to find, from
the demonstration afforded him.
that the glorious traditions of the
Spanish race were not dead, and
that it vas still ready for saeri
fees in defence of the honor of the
nation and the army. He knew,
he said, that the Canovas Cabinet
in August last gave the Washing
ton government to understand that
it was the nations will to pursue
his (Weyler's) policy in Cuba IN
til the rebellion should be sup
pressed, without ever conserving
to American interference. He
failed to understand how the I'm
itod States, silent before the dec
larations of Canovas, now adopt
ed, in President McKinley's mes
sage, a STONE insulting to Spair
and the Spanish army.
He believed, he declared en-
%phatically, that the government
should be compelled to publish The
Canovas note as a satisfaction t
the army and also to protest by al
means in its power against Presi.
dent McKinley's message to Con.
gress.

TO REDUCE WAGES.
The Manufacturers Committee OF
Fall River Mills Decides to
Reduce Wages,

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 13--It
was learned to-day that the man
ufacturers' committee, which
has charge of the details Of the
pending situation Of the wages
Of mill operatives, will recon-
mend that the salaries of the
treasurers be reduced in the same
proportion as the wages of the
employees. Each member Of the
committee has agreed to bring
about this reduction in the ad-
ministratiye cost in his own mill.
The committee also decided that
all overseers and others not usu-
ally included 10 cutdowns should
come under the order.
The price for weaving a cut OF
print cloth will be reduced from
Is to Is cents and in departments
where the least pay is received
the full cut of II per cent. will
not be made. The committee
also agreed that a cut of 10 per
cent. was as much as the opera
tives could bear, in view of the
curtailment of the productions OF
Fall River mills during the past
year.
Notices of the reduction will be
posted in the mills tomorrow or
Wednesday but the details of the
new schedule will not be giver
out until a day or two latter. Ii
the operatives ask for a confer.
ence, the committee will recon.
mend that it be granted, but ar
address, as was talked Of at first,
will not be prepared unless some
thing now should develop to cal
for it. The committee is unani.
mously in favor of including
everybody connected with the mills
in the reduction and also in ops
posing a strike in every way pos
sible, since, if the mills should be
closed, competitors would obtain 6
great advantage.

Death of the Preside nt's Mother
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Tt falls to the lot of few women
to live so long, so happy, or So
useful a life as was that of the
mother of President Mckinley
which closed yesterday morning,
in fitting serenity, at her home
in Canton. "The days Of our
years." the Good Book says, ''are
three score and ten, and if by
reason Of strength they be four
score years, yet is their strength
labor and sorrow" That is the
rule, but the life of Mother
Mckinley was a marked excep-
ton. Born in 1909 in the infancy
of the republic, before the second
war with England, and when the
great West was a wilderness, she
lived four score and eight years,
and was contented and happy
till the end, She was one OF
the few women-we can now
recall but two others, the
mothers of Grant and Gar
field-who lived to see their sons
reach the highest pinnacle of an
Americans ambition-the Presi-
dency of the United States-and
the day that witnessed his inau-
guration must have been the cul-
mination of her happiness. She
was frugal, industrious, and pious,
and her children not only had hel
good precepts and example,, but
her %incessant efforts to give them
educational advantages and fit
them for good work in the world.
The tie of affection between her
and her distinguished son was close
and warm, and he will cherish he1
memory as that of the best Of
mothers deserves to be cherished.
