the surrender, numbered 463 men. rank

commanded by Col. J. w. Lea. We
close this paper with the addition of the
following statistics, taken from the
source above Indicated with reference
to North Carolina soldiers surrendered
at Appomatox: Total. forty-two regi-
rlents and one battalion infantry; five
regiments and one battalion cavalry and
FIVE battalions artillery. That all these
should have numbered only 5,022 rank

these commands had contained over

But like many other busy men, MIR.
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to
condition of he1p1essneSs. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can we'll be described. For
years I have suffered with Sciaffc
Rheumatism and often felt as If a
small piece of nay spine had been
taken out, also as if a fragment OF
bombshell had passed through my left
hip. When I would sit down, l cotlfd
not straighten up for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S. S. and
was almost i'll despair when began its
use. In three days, however, l was
so greatly relieved that felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuma-
tism. The disease grew less painful
as / continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be a fine tonic, as l now
have more appetite, and feel better
than ever before, in my life. cannot
say too much in praise of s. 5. ).
Rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always batt1ed the
doctors, and it is peculiarly that
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to it's attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.
S. S. S. guaranteed purely UegetGble) is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,
Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh,
letter, Contagious Blood Poison, etc.
When S. S. S. once forces a disease
from the system it never returns. Our

Rheumatism.

The busiest and most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Especially are they liable to be at.
tackled and completely disabled by that
most annoying and painful ailment-
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at any time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearab1e
mental anguish at the thought of hav.
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supplanted by a condition of utter
helplessness. Under the effects OF
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.

prettiest residences and most substan-
tia1 business blocks Of that city arc

WHAT A LIE.
An Editor Says That 1t Takes Money
20 Pm No,,.,,,,,,.

An Editor Says That It Takes Money
to Run Newspaper.
From the Covington (ohio) Gazette:
"lt'takes money to run a newspaper
st. John (Kan.) News.
What an aggregation; what whop.
per. 1t has been disproved thou
sand times; it is clean case Of airy
fancy. 1t doesn't take money to run
a newspaper; 1t can run without mon
ey. 1t Is a charitable institution, a
begging concern, a highway robber.
B'Godfrey the newspaper is the child
OF the air, a creature Of dream. 1t
can go on and on and on, when any
other concern would be in the hands
OF receiver and wound up with cob
webs in the window. It takes wind to
run a newspaper; 1t takes gall to run
newspaper. 1t takes a scintillating,
acrobatic imagination, and half doz-
en- white shirts, and railroad pass to
run newspaper. But money--Heav-
ems to Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money in conducting a
newspaper! Kind words are the med
lum OF exchange that do the business
Tor the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an ed
ltor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying bills and disgracing his pro-
tession. Never give money to an edi-
tor. Make him trade 1t out. He likes
to swap. Then when you die, after
having stood around for years and
Sneered at the editor and his little Jim
crow paper, be sure and have your wife
send in for three extra copies by one
OF your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and touching
notice about you, forewarn her to ne
elect to send fifteen cents to the editor.
It would Overwhelm him. Money Is a
corrupting thing. The editor knows It
ana what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank their grocers.
Take your Job work to the Job office
and then come and ask for half rates
Tor church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationery printed
out OF town, and then food the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
Of respect and cards Of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick 1t up filed with those glow
Ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are so proud Of your little paper! But
noney-scorn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure, innocent editor know
anything about It. Keep that for
'ordid tradespeople who charge for
heir wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor. He has a
charter from the state to act as door
nat for the col munity. He'll get
he paper out somehow; and stand up |
or you when you run for Office, and lie |
lbout your pigeon-toed daughters |
ackey wedding, and blow about your
'ig-footed sons when they get a 81 per
week job, and weep over your shriveled |
oul when 1t is released from your
;rasping body, and smile at your giddy
Vife's second marriage. He'll get along.
The Lord alone knows how-but the
ditor will get there somehow.

Millions of Cook Books Given Away.
There is one large house in this
country that has taken business en- its
turn and means to ride in ON the rising
tide. Alive to the signs of better times
and to the interests of the people, they
are now circulating among families a
valuable publication known as The
CHARLES A. VoGELER COMPANY's Cook
cry Book AND Book OF COMFORT AND
HEALTH, which contains very choice
information on the subject of cooking.
Receipts for the preparation of good,
substantial and dainty dishes, prepared
especially for it by leading authority,
will be found in It's pages. Much care
has been taken in its preparation and
distribution, with the hope that it will
be just the thing needed for house
keepers, and just the thing needed also
for the care of the health and house
hold. AS Cookery Book it will be in.
valuable to keep on hand for reference.
1t also contains full information in
regard to the great remedies of this
house, which provide against bodily
ailments, especially the Master Cure
for Pains and Aches, ST. Jacobs Oil.
To give some idea of the labor and
expense of this output, more than 200
tons of paper have been used in its
publication, and at the rate of 100, 900
day; it has taken several months for
the issue.
The book can be had of druggists
everywhere, or by enclosing &c. stamp
to The Charles A. Vogeler Company,

Venerable antiquity hangs about the
banana, and by some it is believed to
be the fruit which tempted Eve, while
others think that the great cluster OF
grapes brought by Jewish spies from
the valley of Eschol, SO heavy that two
men were required to carry each, were
in reality bananas. Chittagong, Phil
ippine Islands, Siam and Ceylon were
the original homes of this fruit.
