WAYNESVILLE.


Waynesville and her hospitable peo-
pie, and justly so.
The twenty-sixth annual conven-
ton of the North Carolina Press
Association was held at that place
on Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. The session was profitable
and the sojourn of the editors in
s'The Land of the Sky" was delight
full. The party, which numbered
about one hundred, was domtciled at
the famous White Sulphur Springs,
one mile from town, and was the
guest of the citizens of Waynesville,
to whom the editors are under many
oblig ations for unstinted hospitality.
The spirit of welcome was mani
fest everywhere and this spirit found
expression at the opening session OF
the Convention, when the editors
were welcomed in words oil eloquence
and cordiality by the popular young
mayor of the town, Mr.. ii. B. Fergu
son, who was followed a little later
by happy dissertation upon
Waynesville as a health resort, by
DR.. j. Howell Way, in which was
embodied the idea of gladness at our
coming. Another expression of the
determination of the good people of
Waynesville to give the party good
time occurred Wednesday afternoon,
when drive was taken up the Juna-
luska Mountain, by road built by
Messrs. Geo. Smathers and S. c.
Satterthwaite, at a cost OF five
thousand dollars or more. The sum
NIT of the mountain is about four
and a half miles from the Sulphur
Springs hotel and is about 2, 400 feet
higher than Waynesville, or 800
feet above the sea level. The view
was truly magnificent and beyond
description. AS one looked out upon
Natures grand panorama of sky and
mountain and valley and forest he
stood enchanted by the marvellous
demonstration of the beauty and
grandeur of the works of the Creator
and wondered how any one could
look upon such scenes and doubt
that they were ordered and con-
trolled by a Supreme Intelligence.
Upon this wonderful and inspiring
picture we haven't time to dwell. il
you would Know more of it go and
see it.
Wednesday night, the Association
was told, in eloquent words, some
thing Of the past, present and future
of Wayuesville, by one of her gifted
sons, Hon. e. d. Gilmer.
The most of the party turned their
faces homeward Friday morning. A
few remained for a short time to still
further enjoy rest, sulphur water,
bracing atmosphere and the privilege
of sleeping under blankets in the
summer time. Quite a number of
the party stopped at Asheville, with
headquarters at the Oak Hotel, from
Friday afternoon to Saturday morn
ing. Friday afternoon a drive was
taken through the beautiful and
mammoth Vanderbilt estate.
The visit of the editors to the
delightful summer resorts of Waynes
vile and the White Sulphur Springs
and the cordial hospitality of the
good people of Waynesville will long
linger as a most pleasant memory
and it will be pleasure to the recip-
tents of this hospitality to give their
influence towards the upbuilding of
the material interests and the utilz-
ing of the valuable resources of
Waynesville.

The sympathetic tenderness of low
Ing husband is everything to an expec-
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq, a prorni-
nent druggist of Dayton, o., gives the
following case:
A customer Of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of Mothers Friend" before con-
hnement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to go through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was 500 per bottle, she
would have them.
Mothers Friend - is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords GER
tain relief in the various ailments pre-
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
vo1ved in the final ordeal.
Mothers Friend - is sold by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt of one
dollar.

and joy to drive over some of our
Georgia roads. The sandbeds of
south and middle Georgia are giving
way TO hard, cemented, clay roads.
The three-miles an-hour gait with a
good team is giving way to the
eight and ten miles gait with as little
damage to the horses as formerly.
SIN north Georgia we are improv-
ing our highways and roads. Many
of the counties are using the INSIDE
meanor convicts under an overseer
and guards. Barlow county has
been using her convicts in this way
for four W ars, probably; and a man
who left this county half a dozen
years ago and returns today maryels
at the great Improvement in our
roads. 1t pays a thousand times
better to work these convicts On the
public highways than to put them
up In the jail and feed them at the
expense of the county. The con
victs themselves are better satisfied
out at work. Even Carriers
vile, our county town, seeing the
contrast between the county roads
and the streets OF the town, is COM
ing to the front with improvements.
We have street boss in Gainesville
now who is doing his work we'll by
permanently crawling the streets.
''And there is no investment that
brings greater returns than the i'm
provement of our roads and streets.
am a thousand times more willing
to pay taxes for the improvement of
our streets and roadways than | am
to be taxed to keep up the Office
holders and pap suckers. l verify
| believe that when our roadways are
| put in good shape We will look back
with astonishment on the fact that
we have been such fools about our
! highways in the past.
1T is a saving on our horses and
on our vehicles. Now a farmer can
| put five bales of cotton on his wagon
and come rolling into town any sort
| of weather. Five years ago he could
hardly get in with one bale. 1t took
| him all day then to come and 90.
| Now he gets back home by dinner
| time. No wonder the farmer is the
hind dog in the race. He has worked
at a disadvantage all along.
"If the commissioners in each coun-
ty in Georgia who are still neglecting
their road ways will visit the other
counties which have used the con-
vicJs for the Improvement of the
roads, they will come back home and
put their convicts to work ii they
have any county pride or public
spirit. Just as a railway bed is for
| the engine and cars, just so our
| country roads are for our horses and
vehicles | never have known a
| prosperous railroad or a first class
railroad management that did not
labor for good rOadbed and good
road over which to run their engines
and cars. And SO we must see tt at
| wisdom and sense all agree that the
money aud labor expended upon our
county roads will yield the best re-
| turns in the end.
| "Onr old system of rond working
| calling the neighborhood along the
| line OF the road to work three days
in the year-was ii joke on creation
l. was a three day trolic and two
| hours of work; and what little they
did really do made it worse. But
now, when system and common
sense have taken charge, we see ad-
| vancement."

Send Your Children to School.

WALHALLA, S. c., December /, 1S0S.-
Messrs. Editors wish to urge with
earnestness tho parents of this school
district tho Importance of sending every
child betweon 6 aud 81 years of ago to
school this year in order that thoy may
have public funds noxt year. Our nc.
years apDortionmcnt will be made from
this years enrolment. Tho larger the
attendance this year the moro funds We
got next year. Two months of our pub
lie term arc past; possibly it may not
last Two muru. Thoro are children all
over the district out of school. Parents,
sond them in and thereby secure. tho
benefit of your taxes. Tho record for
tho last tllreo years is that our teachers
have received less than $1,000 public
funds, whilo tho Taxpayers have naid in
a sum of ovor 50, 600 ,tl ..,
Tho following l1ttor from Hon. w. d.
Mayfiold, State superintendent of Edu-
cation, shows that tuition is froc and
that all may attend, The lcttcr is dated
October 8, 1903, and says:
''Thc Attorney General has ruled that
no tuition can be charged by any school
while tho public money is received" That
tho school must be absolutely free. 1t
follows as a matter cf law that no sch oOl
receiving public money can turn. away
any child within tho school ago residing
in that district, respectable in character,
so long as the public funds last"
That is law; it treats all alike. Let it
be enforced. -
Respectfully,

UOCtOrSs Mistakes,

Many times women call on thoir family
physicians, suffering, as thoy imagine,
ono from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, smother from liver or kidney
disease, another from nerynus exhaustion
or prCstratiOn, another with pain here
and there, and in this way they all pre-
sen:, alike to themselves and thoir easy
going and Indifferent, or over-busy doc
cor, separate and distinct disease, for
which ho prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in real
ity, they are all only symptoms caused by
somo womb disorder. Tho physician,
ignorant of tho cause of suffering, on.
couragcs his "practice" until largo bills
are made. The suffering patient gets no
better. but probably worse. by reason of
tho delay, wrong treatment and conse-
quont complications. A proper medicine,
like DR.. Piorce's Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause would havo entirely
removed the disease, thereby tiispolling
ali those distressing symptoms, and insti-
tuting comfort instead Of prolonged mis-
cry. This medicine enables sensitive,
modest woman to avoid tho unnecessary
physicians "oxaminations' and his gene
rally useless ana stereotyped local appii-
cation" treatment.

Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb trcu-
bio Or fomale weakness Of some sort is
responsible for tho many ills that beset
womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under tho eyes,
rhoumatism, % dragging pain or dull
acho in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty supply
of urine, with strong odor, frequent de-
sire to pass It, with scalding or burning
sensation, sediment in it after standing
in bottle Or common glass for twenty four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
trouble.
Tho above symptoms are often attrib-
uted by tho patient horsof or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Honce so many fail to obtain
reliof, because they are treating, not tho
disease itself, but q reflection of tho pri-
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as we'll as mon are
mado miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble. and both need tho same remedy.

No Reduoti0n Possible.

In view of the fact that taxes ere being
SO slowly paid, evidently from the low
price of cotton, people arc beginning to
discuss tho question whether it will not
be possible for tho Legislature to reduce
the lovy at the coming session.
DR.. Zimmerman, Treasurer of the
State, is probably more familiar with the
financial condition of tho State than any
other man in 1t. In speaking OF the
general aspect of affairs he expressed the
opinion this morning that tho levy could
not be reduced, provided tho necessary
appropriations, for the government arc
continued rs they arc. Thore is no OK
travagance in appropriations. On the
contrary there is in many instances dis
position shown to out down tho expenses
of departments absolutely necessary to
tho proper conduct of the government
DR.. Zimmerman planned that tho
great loss of the revenue from tho phos-
Phate industry mado it impossible to re-
duce the levy. This meant loss of
several hundred thousand dollars which
annually went into tho treasury
From the interviews and letters pub
lishod in the county papers it is evident
that legislators are set on cutting down
Expenses, many Of them advocating the
reduction of salaries of officers. Such
bills come up yearly and amount to moth
ing. Even if they were scaled as some
Legislators want the situation would not
materially bo affected; tho levy would
not be decreased.
1t seems that the only thing to do Is to
grin and bear 1t, now that wo arc in hard
luck, and hope for better times to como.
