WHAT TO DO

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
remedy, rulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary
passages. IL corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effects following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur.
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and extraordinary effects of Swamp
Root is soon realized, 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.

Little Things

In an English dockyard a great ship
was to be launched. An immense
crowd had gathered to see it glide
down the slides that were to carry it
into the water. The blocks and
wedges were knocked away; but the
massive ship did not stir. Just then
a little boy ran w and began to
push the ship with all his might. The
crowd broke u into a laugh; but it so
happened that the vessel was almost
ready to move; the few pounds pushed
by the Boy were only neede to start it,
and away it went into the water. Now
that was a little thing, but you see
what it did. Oftentimes the little
things o do don't seem of much ac-
u But they are. One spring morn
a bank Of earth. 1t grew, budded, and
blOssemed into sweet blu violets un-
seen by the child planter. 1t also seed
ed, and the seed fell out upon the bank
Of earth, n next spring more violets
grew; and so for years, increasing ev-
cry season. The boy, grown a man in
a foreign land, desired to visit his child
hoods home. When he saw the bank
of violets he remembered how, years be
fore, he had planted there a single seed.
Can it be-" he said, that all these
have sprung from the single seed I
planted! I will never waste a single
seed" 0, remember the Importance Of

SENATOR GORMAN'S LETTER TO
MIR, ABELL

The Messenger purposed two or three
tor German to the owner Of the Bal
'timore Sun, but some how the reply
OF The u had disappeared from the
copy furnished. The letter of the as
tute, able senator and willy party man
age has been much commented upon
anu nearly all of the articles that have
come under our eye are in commenda-
tion of the senator's course. The one
paper we have seen that unfavorably
criticises German is The Chicago Rec
ord, which is not a democratic newspa-
per. We are rather surprised that in
Baltimore so nue. under the influence
of The Sun, that prominent democrats,
heartily commend the proposition of
the senator to retire from the active
leadership of the party, provided Abel.
and his followers will again support
the party. This Is the substance of a
dispatch sent from Baltimore on the
17th instant to the Philadelphia Times,
n staunch and able gold organ. We
take it that it's correspondent truly re-
fleets public sentiment in Maryland.
The correspondent sends this also:
~Whil declining to further discuss
at this time The Suns reply to his
letter, the senator predicts the success
OF his party in the coming election. He
says that reports from the counties to

An association has been organized in
North Carolina known as the North
Carolina Forest Association. A circular
received from three Of the persons or
ganizing it, states that 1.-The object Of
the association is to secure better pro-
lection against fires for the timber
lands of this state, especially for the
pine lands Of the eastern counties,
both through more effective legisla-
ton and the education of public senti-
ment. Also to consider methods of re-
production of h valuable timber trees
Of the state, and the improvement in
the condition Of the woodland, so as to
place it upon a paying basis" This
has the hearty Endorsement Of The
Messenger. It has been for a long time
trying to protect the timbered lands
and to induce the state to have a tree
planting day so as to re-timber the
vacant lands not needed for cultiva-
ton. The committee state thai over
1000, 600 acres are waste land" now
mainly because Of the destructive fires.
A meeting for permanent organization
is called at Raleigh or the 21st instant.

A NEW NORTH CAROLINA BOOK
THAT WILL BE READ

Mr.. e. s . Simmons, a we'll known
lawyer of Washington. NC. has been for
some time engaged in the preparation OF
a work which Is an attempt to find "A
solution Of the race problem in the
South" We learn that it is now COM
pleted and will be published in a vol
ume Of some $50 pages, with thirty illus
trations additional. We have not seen
the work n can, Of course, give no
opinion Of it's merits. Mr.. Simmons is
a young lawyer Of good parts, and is,
thoughtful and inquiring insfhe quail
ties of his mind. We have before us an
outline Of the discussion which eur
fifteen chapters. 1t begins with a re-
view Of the situation on the subject al
ready before the public, and shows the
reasons for the failure OF all plans pro-
posed. The. second chapter grapples
with the Race feeling in the South"
The third, discusses "Can the negro be
colonized."s The fourth considers The
negroes capacity for local self-govern-
ment and separate existence. The fifth
discusses THE as a. barrier to
industrial progress in h South" One
Of the points here raised is that 1.-The
act Of freeing him was the act Of the
union. this being so. h whole people
of this union should have contributed
to his education. The south having
done it for thirty-two years, it is now
time the whole union should assist,
which could only be lone with the ne
groes living to themselves" In the
seventh chapter an important. question
is discussed-"Does education educator"
The eighth chapter contains Political
consequences in the South" Then in
the remaining chapters other questions
naturally following those are presented
for the consideration of the reader.
Among other questions discussed is
1.-THE tale Of the failure without and
with coloniZation." The book if well
argued, and We may well believe it is,
will be read with interest and may ex-
cite much discussion. We incline to
think that his plan of colonization will
not be accepted even and not work.
But we will not anticipate the publica-
ton of the boo itself. We hope Mr..
Simmons will be we'll rewarded for his
industry, devotion and ability. He is
known to us through others as a young
man deserving of the friendship and
patronage Of the people.

A western railroad having its head
quarters in Chicago was recognized
and some new officials were brought
on from the east. says the Chicago Re-
cord. There was a readjustment OF
titles and the superintendent evolved
a system by which the duties of every
employe were to be most clearly unier-
stood.
John Connors, who had helped to
build the road. and who had been on
the payroll for years, was advanced to
the title Of master mechanic and super
intendent OF maintenance OF way.
About a week after his appointment
he was hastily summoned to the Of
fee and was given an order:
ITO John CoHnors, master mechanic
and superintendent OF maintenance OF
way: This is to inform you that cul-
vert No. 1873, in section No. IL. one and
one-half az miles east Of Elmer, has
beer destroyed by fire. You will pro-
ceed with all possible haste to the chief
engineer. who will provide you with
the necessary plans and specifications.
BY requisition on the purchasing agent
you will be enabled to secure such ma
terial as is necessary. and the superin~
tendent of motive power will place at
your disposal"
There were other directions, but when
John onnor had read this far he fold

LITERARY GOSSIP

Several of the New York city preach
ers nave given free opinions of Hall
Gaines "The Christian"-his last novel
and all but one condemn it and, in
severe terms. He is severely handled
for writing such a book with such a
title. They do not think his hero by
any ann Of means a Christian Of
any very Scriptural type, but fanatical
and quite earthly.
Professor H. A. White, DID,. PHI. D. of
Washington n Lee university, Vir-
ginia, has written a life Of Robert E..
Lee, for the series published by a New
York house called Heroes Of Nations"
Dr.. White is a scholarly and gifted
man and WI are glad he has written a
small n volume Of the peerless hero.
Longs big volume costs too much.
We learn hat DR.. White stands up
south in the great war. There are too
many apologists now, too many who
are wofully ignorant of the real causes
and events that led to the war. A study
of DR.. Dabney's able book, Of Bledoe's
rs jeff. Davis a Traitor" Of President
Davis's work on the war; Of Vice Presi-
dent Stephens's work would help to a
thorough comprehension of the Ques-
tons at issue and Of the Importance of
knowing just what occurred.
We like this which is from the Lon
don Athenaeum, one of the three or
four great literary weeklies Of England.
It is about the editor Of another liter
airy journal, Literature, the well known
London critic Mr.. H. D. Thraill. It
says:
Critics are Of as many kinds as the
writer's upon whom they sit in judg-
ment. There are ''slipshod n rough
shod" critics, fantastic critics, dainty
critics, critics who pay attention to
STYLE" and many other varieties. Rare,
but eminently refreshing when we
come across him, is the common-sense
indeed, the kind that pa
d that quality, and is apt to lapse
into uncommon nonsense, but he who,
with powers of expression beyond the
average, tries to put himself at the
point of view occupied by the average
intelligent man. Of this class Mr..
Thraill has long been the ablest living
representative. 1t is not perhaps the
most popular form of literary crit
icism."
There is need of such writing as that
for five or six men who write literary
criticisms in England and the United
States for reviews, magazines,
weeklies and daily newspapers, are
hasty in judgment, incompetent,
insincere or destitute Of true taste and
insight. Nine out Of ten Of their opin-
ions are reversed before two years. A
critic''is a treasure.
One OF these Is Richard Henry Stod-
dard, an aged northern poet OF merit

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
Ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
6arsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
s~crofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparille, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
