Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct. of self
preservation which is the first law

vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

Bismarck of Jewish Descent.

Few people are aware that Prince
Bismarck is of Hebrew descent. He de-
rives his Jewish blood from his mother,
whose father-Ana stasius Menken, one
of the favorite bureaucrats of Frederick
the Great-was of Hebrew parentage.
Although of late it has evidently ap-
peared polite to the prince to coun-
tenance the anti-Semitic movement botn
in Germany and Austria, yet while IN
Office he invariably showed himself
good friend to the Jewish nation ana
chose the Hebrew banker at Berlin,
Baron Won Bleichroeder, as his most
trusted confidant. Indeed, in those days
he was SO we'll disposed toward the
Jews that he even discussed the advis-
ability of marrying his sons to JeWesses
on the ground that it would bring mon

CONGREGATION Increasing .

Since it has become known that
there will be preaching at JORDAN
street church every Sunday morn
ing and evening, the congrega-
tons have been growing larger at
each service. This is also due TO
the fact that the pastor Rev. Bar
nette Wright, has the power and
gift to hold his hearers and also to
grow upon them.
Our people, those who nave
heard him, recognize in him
man of originality; preacher
who has something new to tell, or
maybe a new way OF telling the
story Of salvation. At any rate
his rresentiment of his sermon
show the student, the deliver, the
analyzer and the Christian. His
exegesis is plain, plausible logic
al, strengthening He is growing
in the minds and hearts Of his
hearers and community, and the
church has already felt the moral
effect of his preaching and leader

yerely and late corners had to

will have to be made for more

The roughened hands that never shiTked,
The plain brown hands that planned and

Are folded now in peace and rest
Upon ike wayworn, weary breast.
Ore ivory keys they never strayed.
Embroidery, lace they never made,
Poor tired-out hands, on one OF them
Flashed never brilliant, shining gem.
They cooked and washed, they scrubbed
and mended,
Unto the children fondly tended,
They soothed the head that ached and
beat,
And gently bathed the fevered feet
They gladly toiled from morn until night
That they might other hands keep white,
And tried SO hard to roses spread

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suf-
fer as much from distressing kidney
and bladder troubles as the men.
The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary pass
age is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trou-
BILE of some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours; q sedi
ment or settling is evidence that your
kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in
the back, pass water too frequently,
or scanty supply, with smarting OF
burning-these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. If you
have doctored without benefit, try

Able Charge to tho Jury.
The January term of Wake county
Superior Court opened Monday, with

court Judge Timberlake delivered an
able and timely charge to the grand
jury. He instructed the Jury especially
TO indict merchants or others for SELL
inc or giving cigarettes to boys under
the prescribed age. He told them that
1t was their sworn duty to examine this
matter carefully. He also charged
them particularly against the crime of
bribery, gambling, including dealing
in futures and escape from officers
He referred to the houses of ill fame,
and said, if any existed, they should
be closed.
Solicitor Pou set a criminal docket,
and this it is claimed will save money

John q. Davis Release d.

John G. Davis, of Wilmington, who
has been an inmate of the insane asy-
lum in this city since May 3lst, 1892,
was last week gwen his liberty.
When pronounced cured of insanity
several weeks ago, Supt. Kirby wrote
Solicitor Richardson, of the New Han
over Court, that Davis had regained his
reason, and that he had him in custody
at his disposal. Solicitor Richardson
wrote the superintendent to hold Davis
until Court met, which was in progress
at Wilmington last week.
saturday, on motion of Solicitor
Richardson, the criminal action against
Davis were mol pressed in New Han
over Court.
John G. Davis has had career which
Is almost unparalleled. He began life
as an operative in cotton mill. He
came of humble parentage. He studied
law, and pushing himself forward at
tanned much prominence and won the
confidence of the people of Whining
ton. By embezzling and mortgaging
other peoples property, he made away
with more than $4,000, the greater
portion of which he gave to churches
and charitable objects. Davis was con.
sidered one of the best men in Will
min gton, and the confidence of the peo-
pie In him was remarkable.
