HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN.
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Mol be Alarmed, but Look for the Cause

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the eX-
element and worry of American bust
ness life, it is more often the result Of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in hundred of heart trou
HE is organic.
The close relation between the heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is eff
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the distend-
ed stomach on the heart and lungs, in
terfering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
he found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant. convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at 80 cents. Little book
on stomach troubles mailed. Address

A Harbineer Of Spring
CeraniuI1 VALLEY.

Yesterday as the Senior was walking
over his patch of ground in The Valley
he Unexpectedly came upon a Potato
bug. His left hind foot uplifted, his
right ear close to the ground, with
crossed eyes he was intently watching
n clod of earth. The Senior gently
turning it was amazed to see underneath
the tip of volunteer potato vine just
emerging from the ground.
Last year the Senior, discussing the
Potato bug. with Mr.. Bill Lamb. recon-
mended Paris green, and explained ut
some length the proper proportions of
Flour to be mixed with the poison.

The State Geological Survey has now
completed and has in course of publica-
tion a bulletin on the water power of
North Carolina, which will doubtless be
of very great value to investors who are
seeking for cheap and desirable localities
for the development of water power,
whether large or small in amount. The
report has been in course of preparation
for three years, and gives complete and
accurate list of the water powers on the
principal streams of the State, both
developed and undeveloped, besides chap
tiers on the climate of the State and it's
relation to the water power Of the
streams, the geological conditions which
tend to promote them and some small
valuable data on the flow of the streams,
large number of instrumental measure
ments of the flow of these at all stages,
from extreme high to low water, having
been made by the engineer of the sur

FIRE ON THE SQUARE.
Hunts Restaurant and Ragan's SalOo
Are Badly Damaged.

Hunts Restaurant and Ragan's Saloon
Are Badly Damaged.
Fire was discovered early last Sun
day morning in the restaurant of j.
G. Hunt, on the west side of the pub
lie square. The alarm was answered
promptly by the fire laddies, who
soon had the flames in subsection,
an excellent water pressure being
obtained. From Hunts restaurant
the fire spread into the upper story
of Ragan's saloon adjoining, and the
building in which Harris barber
shop is located, next door to Ragan's,
was also slightly damaged. McKen-
non, Anderson q Foster were in great
danger for time, but fortunately
they escaped with only very slight
damage from smoke and water.
Mrs. Ed Williams owned the Hunt
building, which was insured for ST.
800. The Raglan and Harris build
ings were both owned by ]. M. AL
len and insured for $4,000. Hunt was
insured for $500, and Raglan for ST.
600, all of the above risks being car
ried in companies represented by J
J. Elan. Harris stock was insured
for $500 with Hendley & Wilson
agents; his loss, however, is very
slight.
No correct estimates can be made
of the losses, as the greatest damage
was caused by water and smoke.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Only Two Cases at the Pest HOuse-Ns
Danger Now.

Only Two Cases at the Pest House-No
Danger Now.
There is still noted improvement
in the smallpox situation. All of
the cases at the pest.house except
two have been discharged, and these
will be let loose within a few days.
There has not been new case now
for three weeks, except for suspic-
ious case found on South Main street
last week. This case is Tom Woods,
the 13.year-old son of John Woods.
The case is of such an exceedingly
mild type, however, that the medi-
cal fraternity is divided on the ques-
ton as to whether it is really small
pox or not. The boy has never taken
to bed, and is now almost we'll. Some
of the doctors who have seen the
case say they have seen cases of
chicken-pox that were great deal
worse. On account of the mildness
of the case, the boy was not removed
to the pest-house, but, owing to the
fact that he had been in contact with
the white man Johnson, it was
thought best to quarantine the house.
There is now absolutely no cause
for fearing spread of the disease,
and all rumors about new cases, ETC.,
should be discredited.
