Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty,
yigor, and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or
diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that IL is not uncommon for a child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, If the urine scalds
the flesh, OF IT, when the child reaches an
age when il should be able to control the
passage and it is yet afflicted with bed
wetting depend upon il, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be toward the treatment of
these important organs This unpleasant
trouble is due TO a diseased condition OF
the kidneys and bladder and not TO habit
as most people suppose.
So We find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same remedy.

SECOND DECISION FAVORABLE.
Railway Company Has Authority
to Lay New Tracks.

Some time ago the Metropolitan Aall-
wav COMPANY applied to the municipal au-
+borities for permission TO lay underground
tracks and switches in Florida Avenue DC
tween Tenth and Eleventh Streets, 10 COIL
meet the tracks of the company at lehth
Street with the old car barn located III
Eleventh Street, once used by the beil Line
Railway Company The Commissioners re-
fused to grant the application, owing 10 an
adverse opinion which the Attorney Tor the
District submitted at that time, informing
them that they were without such autnor-
itv Notice to this effect was sent to the
railway company. The railway oHclais
wrote to the Commissioners, asserting that
the company had leased large section OF
the car barn for the purpose OF housing us
trains. This action was taken, SO 1t Is
claimed under the express provision oi
the charter of the company, WHICH eraneS
authority to lay such rails, through trans
verse or other streets, as may be neces-
sarv for the exclusive purpose OF connect
ing stables and depots with the nam
tracks.
The company stated that this was the
exclusive purpose Of the application, ana
maintained that it did not propose to make
any double-tra connection with the Belt
Line. 1t was the latter reason which in
~
rule that the desired permission could not
be granted without special authority from
Congress The railway company afterward
asked the Commissioners, in view of the
fact that the connection would be USED Tor
no purpose other than the one stated, that
the question be re-referred to Attorney Du-
vail. The authorities consented, and took
such action.
The second opinion, by Mr.. Duvall, which

rendered Yesterday. In 1t the Attorney ex-
plains that the new Layout" Of tracks diff
fers from the one originally proposed, and
adds that If the company can establish TO
the satisfaction Of the Commissioners that
the convenience of the public requires the
company to procure the car barns for the
purpose indicated, and also that the pro-
posed tracks in Florida Avenue are neces-
sary for the exclusive purpose of connect
ing the car barn with the main tracks of the
| company, the Commissioners may grant
| the permit If they be so inclined.

MARION
HARDWARE CO.
One Of the Largest Mercan.
tile Establishments In
Western North Carroll
ma, Ably Managed by

Among the institutions that have
materially aided in bringing Marion into
recognition as live business center,
stands out conspicuously the enterprise
mentioned above. Founded upon sturdy
principles of honor and integrity, it is
rapidly assuming a deserved rank in
the commercial arena OF Western North
Carolina. 1t was established in 1897
and simultaneous with its inception
came Q gratifying volume of trade, which
has steadily increased by its wide-awake
management. The business is under the.
able management of Mr.. John w Kirby.
who has a long and valuable experience
in the business, bearing an enviable repur
tation and held in high esteem of all
who know him, both as a business man
and citizen.
There is probably no branch of trade
that is more important iii its relations,
influence and bearing upon the commerce
Of q town than the hardware business.
1t Is extensive in its influence, because
there is no other branch that is not
more or less dependent upon the hard
ware business in some of its manifold
ramifications. The generic term hard
ware is one Of those indefinite. COM
prehensive words, OF which it may be
said that it almost includes, as its name
imports, every ware that Is hard Popu-
larry ii is understood to embrace all the
unclasSihed manufactures Of iron and
steel, including all the appemdages Of the
mechanic arts. as we'll as many articles
pertaining TO common life. as various i'm
appearance, size and uses as can well
be imagined. 1t is a trade Of great inn
portance, and one deserving of careful
consideration in any review of the re-
sources Of city's commercial adytan-
tages. The Marion Hardware Company
started in 1897 with ample capital for
meeting all the demands of the trade
of a large section and has succeeded in
building up Il very iiourishing and pros
porous business. The stock of general
and heavy hardware is full, complete
and carefully selected. embracing every
thing usually carried in this line The
store room is centrally located and is
2OS90 with two ware houses in addi-
ton for storage purposes. The COM
pany handles the Richmond Stove Com
pany's goods in car load lots and does a
general jobbing business throughout
Mcdowell and adjoining counties. Mr.
Jno. w. Kirby, the manager, was born
in Caldwell county, and previous to es-
tablishing the present business in
Marion lived in Lenoir. He was post
master of Lenoir during Cleveland's sec
ond administration.
He is popular and enterprising citi-
zen, fully conversant with his trade, de-
voting his personal attention to its man
agement, and by a long and honorable
business. well deserving of the esteem
in which he is held.
