To the Editor of The Times:
George Mason Lee, who has been before

the late Gen. Robert E. Lee, as enormously
stated in the public papers. The error is
not important, but, perhaps, The Times
may wish to correct it.

Some Valuable Work.

Street commissioner, Dodson
with his gang of men are as busy
as bees improving our already ex-
cellent streets. They have just
finished paving two blocks on
South 5th street and are now
grading the south end of Main
street out past the electric light
plant. They are also cleaning
and scraping all rough and weedy
places, repairing and building
new stone culverts and today Mr..
Dodson has a gang of boys from
the police court cleaning up
about the square. Take it all in
all more good and substantial
work mas been done on our streets
for the past six months than for
many years before. This is
largely due to the untiring energy

heart into the work. Albert
Gerig, the leader, is hand in hand
with him, in fact, every member
of the band is vieing with the
other in their efforts for the sue
cess of the occasion and there
will be only one result-a "howl-

ed with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used
DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take it's place
in our home, as in it we have a
certain and sure cure for Coughs,

1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged
on you as just as good as DR..

More

Curative power is contained in
Hoods Sarsaparilla than in any
other similar preparation. 1t
costs the proprietor and manu-
facturer more. 1t costs the job
Der more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is re-
quired in its preparation and it
combines more remedial qualities
than any other medicine. Conse-
uuently it has a record Of more
cures and it's sales are more than
those of any other preparation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to buy because it is an
honest medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does
actually and permanently cure
disease.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

The Brave Old Hero Receives Fitting
Tribute to His Stainless Name
From One Who Knew


His Record.
The following letter is, from the
Raleigh N. c., News and will be
read with interest by the friends
of the deceased. These grand old
men are becoming fewer every

that we see them mastering with
the majority on the other side.
Ocala has lost one of her most

with pleasure that we learn his
brave deeds have not been forgot

To the Editor:-Major J. NJ
Mayo was born in the upper part
of Edgecombe county, N. c.,
1887, or 1888, and was killed by
an Atlantic Coast Line train in
Florence, S. c., on June II, 1897.
He was an apt scholar and am
bilious from boyhood. He was
an untiring worker, and to his
friends he was a close friend,
kindly disposed and generous to
man and church, and no Drawer
son did the old North State send
to the front. Edgecombe county
furnished the first martyr to the
southern cause, in Henry Wyatt;
the first volunteer to leave her
borders for Charleston and the
war was Mr.. j. M. Mayo. After
the fall of Fort Sumpter, he came
home, organized company and
commanded it for a long while at
Fort Fisher. He, with his COM
pany, was at Newbern when that
city fell into federal hands, and
when he was ordered to retreat
with his company he turned to
the officer giving the command
and asked if that order was Off
cial. Col. Lee replied that it was.
Then he said: "You are my su-
perior officer and I shall have to
obey, but l do it under protest y
The order for retreat was given,
but he, with two or three of his
men stood still, he remarking that
the enemy should not have the
magazine (Which had in it thous-
ands of pounds of powder } He
ordered his ORDERLY sergeant to
trail from the magazine a guam
tity of powder, but in the hurry
of the moment, the federals being
close upon them, the trail was
made too thick and when the
match was applied, it was an in
Simultaneous and continuous flash
to the body of the powder. Tim
bers and logs flew high in the air,
his eyes were burned and blinded, !,
his leg broken; and at this juno
ture, his faithful orderly sergeant
took him upon his back, and with
one or two others, were trying to
escape when they were captured
and [ am credibly informed that
while in prison, blind and wounded
he interceeded with the federal
officials and had those two or
three faithful men released ahead
of himself. For this heroic ser
vice he was promoted to Major
in a regiment of cavalry, through
the influence of Gen. d. H. Hill.
A short time after this, in max
iug a dash into the federal lines
he was again captured and made
a prisoner on Johnson's Island
until the close of the war. HI
met his death among strangers
his life long friends and remaining
old comrades being here and hi
devoted wife and children being
in far away Florida. 1t make
this writer sad to chronicle th'
death of one of his oldest and bes
friends. j. NJ. CUTCHIN.

How to Find Out.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; q sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition OF the kid
news. When urine stains linen it il
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's e
