LAWYER w. w. FULLER.
From the First His Law Practice in
Durham Was Large.

(Tattler in Asheville Citizen.)
The tobacco trust case hearing in New
York recently brought into greater prom
inence w. w. Fuller, the young attorney
of the American Tobacco Company, and
because of this the case has particular in
terest to North Carolinians. Fuller is
Tar Heel, despite the fact that the
New York Sun credited him to South
Carolina. which goes to show that if
you see it in the Sun, sometimes it's so.
Fuller not many years ago was a strug-
Cling lawyer in Durham, and the story
goes that his visits from people hunting
legal advice were not frequent enough to
remind him that he intended to practice
law. Things went on so long this way
that Fuller, thoroughly disheartened, half
way determined to turn his back upon
the law and become a clerk in dry
goods store in Raleigh He told his father
of the proposed change, but Fuller pere
discouraged him in it, bidding the boy
stay in Durham a while longer and give
the law a last trial He did this. The
Dukes turned their attention to the
bright young fellow, business began to
come his way, and the result was Fuller's
selection as counsel for the great Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, with a salary
that is said TO be well up in five figures
This is another instance of what one can
accomplish by the employment of the
combination of Pluck, Push and Perse-
verance.

Travellers shudder with horror at the
thought Of the train wrecker who stealthily
undermines the supports of railway bridge
and precipitates a passenger train with its
load of precious human freight to a horri-
Bile death by fire and water. There is a
deadlier enemy than the train-wrecker that
menaces not only travellers but stay at =
homes. Its name is indigestion. 1t slowly
undermines the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold
thousands into the dread valley of consump-
ton. If people will only take the right pre-
caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after it has occurred if they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease
that has its inception in indigestion or faulty
nutrition are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures 90 per cent. of
all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting
diseases. 1t is an unfailing remedy for nerv-
GUS prostration. 1t is the great blood maker,
flesh builder, and nerve tonic. Thousands
have testified to its merits There is nothing
else "just as good" Druggists sell it.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

laims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overflows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them of
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment 1t
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in q remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence OF untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
1any years. research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
toring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form Of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
.uest to Fl. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
Mich, stating that you are not send
ng for the prescription out of idle Curl
osity, but that you wish to make use Of
the medicine by giving it a trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
hough some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afforI to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
g"nuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.

 If Oscar Wilde's assumption were GO be taken seriously. that all fiction is ly- ing, 1t might account for much that affiicts readers, since the lack Of morale affects the intellect, and what is done without conscience Is apt to be done badly.
