If those of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections OF this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with a dry and tonic
at1nos phere, will look about them, they
will see a greater OF less number of their
friends and neigllbors dying Of con-
sumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
TO time amid the refreshing prairie
breezes of sumner; in the fair and mel
low days of autumn, and also in the dry
and sunny seasons of q southern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable sur
Toundings afford positive and ccnvinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption; that neither pine
laden breczes nor bracing mountain air
will restore weak lungs Or build up a
constitution that IS being undermined
and broken down by the insidious germs
of fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou
sands Of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie all over this country, who have been
cured by the DIR. Slocurn System of
Treatment, and are today in the enjoy
ment Of perfectly restored health and
strength, afford the most convincing
evidence that this treatment, aided by
favorable climatic conditions and SUR
roundings, is a positive cure for Con-
sumption and all other chronic diseases
of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the seasl1cre or to southern eli
mates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the DIR. S1ocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the
full benefits Of favorable climatic condi-
tons and scientific medication.
The Dr.. Slocum System of Treatment
consisting of Four Preparations) is both
medicine and food. The medicines used
in it allay the cough and lung irritation,
heal the soreness and subdue the pains
in the throat, overcome shortness of
breath, improve the appetite and diges-
ton, and bring comfort, rest and re-
freshing sleep, while its food properties
are building up the constitution, enrich
Jag the blood and infusing the sufferer
with new life and vigor.
No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied
in the DR.. Slocur1i System of Treatment
will. More than quarter of century
las been devoted to perfecting this
System Of Treatment; every indication,
every symptom in Consumption and
,ther diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,

HOMICIDE AT BETHEL.

MONDAYS Greenville Reflector gave
the following account of a bar-room
brawl at Bethel:
"Mr. Robert Station keeps bar-room
at Bethel. Mr. w. c. Nelson WAS a
clerk IN this bar-room, and he also own
ed pool table which was run in con-
nection with the saloon. Mr.. w. n.
NJ. Hammond Was one of the Saturday
night patrons of the establishment.
After being there sometime he and Mel
son got into a dispute about a small!
amount that Hammond owed for tie
use of the pool table. In the dispute
Hammond struck at Nelson with beer
buttie and Nelson shot at him with a
pistol. This was followed by iusilade
ot beer bottles from one side and OF
pistol shots from the other, end when
the smoke cleared away Hammond lay
dead upon the floor and Nelson's skull
was fractured.
"The Coroner, c. OH. Laughing
house, went oyer Sunday to hold al
inquest, and the above is about the
sum Of the evidence brought out at the
investigated.
"Here is another striking lesson from
the open bar-room/and gambling den.
A csfpse, a widow and several orphans,
another home wrecked because the
fathers hands are stained with blood,
relatives on both sides crushed with
sorrow and filed with bitterness that 8
lie time will not blot out. All this
to satisfy the greed for gold OF the men
whom the law gives license to stand
behind the bar and carry on business
that damns mems souls and fills the
land with widows and wretchedness
And christian people stand aloof and
allow such to continue instead of rising
iu their might and driving the evil
from the land"

DEATH THEIR NEED
HAM
{ seems worth considering.

Winston, N. c., April l. Rev. james

liarIy known, was actively engaged il
ministerial work for sixty years. While
he was never a member of the Method

ing last sesslon..of the Western Nortl

DISCOVERED BYA WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been
made and that too, by a lady In this
country. "Disease fastened it's clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest test, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily and could not
sleep. she finally discovered a way t.
recovery by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs
Luther Lutz" Thus writes w. C.

ABOUT FRIGHT RA TIES.

The Charlotte papers haye been say
ing recently that Charlotte is as badly
Disseminated against In matters OF
freight rates, perhaps, as any Other
town in the State.
This, together witt, personal obserya-
ton and what others have told us
leads us to think of the high freight
rates which the people of Scotland
Neck have to pay. Time and again
have We heard it said that the high
freight rates must necessarily be The
orippling of industries mere until there
shall be some reduction.
OF course everybody knows that rail
road corporations are in business tol
the money they get out of it ; but the!
are not always unreasonable. And ii
seems to us that the people OF Scotland
Neck ought to be able to bring the
proper influence to bear on the railroad
companies whereby they would be in
duced to make their rates easier.
For instance, if by having rates
easier capital should be induced to
combine for operating large cottor
mill here, it seems that the increased
business which would thus come to the
railroads would more than compensate
them for the loss in freight rates OIL
other things.
Cannot lit business men OF Scotland
Neck put their intelligence togethel
and bring such influence to bear on the
railroads as will bring about change
In rates?
It seems worth considering.

Miss Hood is president of the

of Grace 2. E. church of that
city, and DR.. Eagleton's sister is

chapter held last Saturday 1t was
voted that $40 be sent to the Ma

The ladies can hardly realize how
much gladness this kind gift has
brought to the hearts Of the doc
tors who have taken such a deep
interest in this worthy cause.
The money will be used toward
erecting and equipplng an eye
ward in the hospital, that this
important branch of surgery may
receive it's just share of the hospl-
tails bounty.
