There is juet one other man alive who
could have written that paragraph, and
that is lola himself. But he would not
have stopped there; he would have gone
at length into the sufferings OF the hearts
in the stock cars, and insisted that the
potatoes were rotten. and that the hides
dripped with blood; he would have de-
scribed the reapers and binders individ-
ually and separately; it is not unlikely
that he would have catalogued the dit.

morseIessly have extracted every evil
smell that is to be got out Of freight

they are, are the only living writer's who

as the men themselves. The one at his
Herculean tasks throws up mountains Of
facts that it is impossible to remember;
the other concentrates all his knowledge
into few sharp. singing sentences that
cut clean to the heart Of the matter and
that it ia impossible to forget. 1t is tho

Symptoms.

Many men become seSualiy weak early in life,
or at least prior TO old age. Some b.ca.se Of
dissipation or high living; some because Of
worry over bad crops, business reverses or fnau-
cial failures; some because Of marital excesses;
but by far the larger portion OF those who are

This weakness quickly cured by the use OF The

youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, follows:
First stage-The main trouble Is involuntary
night drains, which are usually accompanied
by dreams They are terrible drain upan the
system. They rob the blood OF its richness,
and cften produce pmples, eTuptions, dark rings
under the eyes, and like symptoms.
BY using these Electric Pills at this stage the
patient is quickly cured-the drains stop and all
the symptoms disappear.
Second Stage-The victim has drains, often
without dreams. lie may have premature dis
charges and shrunken organs lie shuns his
friends and avoids society. He is often subject
TO NERVOUSNESS, headaches weak back, dyspepsia,
inw spirits, loss Of memory, confusion Of ideas,
and .ck OF energy, ambition, and self-confdence.

counsel for this committee, returned
to Baltimore yesterday from Richmond.
They went to that city to attend the
hearing given by Judge Golf of the
counsel in the Cape Fear case, to deter
mine the liens ahead of the bonds Of
the company, such as compensation for
attorneys and committee expenses.
In a few days the special masters in
the case will come to Baltimore to
count the securities deposited with the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
pany, and will then go to New York
to count those with the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, of that city. After
this is done the amount of money to
be distributed among the security
holders will be announced, and it is
expected by the Baltimore committee,
which has been actively end~eavoring to
close up the affairs of the company,
that payments will be made within ten
days.
This will wind up the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley railroad, and after being
tied up abou five years in the courts
the security holders will receive their
money.
