HORRORS OF PHILIPPINE WAR.

Tales come to us of the sufferings en-
dured by our brave soldiers in the Phil
ippines. The papers ring with them and
sympathy is freely given. And yet there
are people in our midsr-of whom we hear
nothing who are just as brave. They are
suffering silently and fighting bravely
with the greatest enemy of mankind
Dyspepsia and all its terrible ills. There
is relief for them if they will take Hos

TO SLEEP SOUND
Leave OF Tie Coffee.

A city solicitor for a grocery i'll
Americas, Georgia, reports that i'll call
ing upon a Mrs. W. L. Marsh, found
her complaining greatly about the loss
of sleep and nervousness of the family.
He suggested that perhaps the tro BILE
was caused by coffee drinking, and adj
vised shat they use Postum Food Coffee
III its place A box Of the new Food
Coffee was sent down to them ana at
q call the second day, Mrs. Marsh stated
that about three o'clock in the morning
she was suddenly awakened by her hus-
band jumping up TO dress, stating thnr
he must get off TO work. She looked
at the clock and told him it was only
three O'Clock. and he must have made
a mistake. He said ne felt there was
certainly something wrong with the
clock for he had slept his usual time,
was perfectly refreshed and had his
nights rest out. The good sound sieep
continued night after night after leaving
off the coffee and using in its place the
Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
\ The solicitor further says, Il told this
experience of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh to
Mr.. II. +. Davenport, and after the
first nights trial, he told me he had
never slept better in years Mrs. Da-
yenport was in the store this afternoon,
pronouncing it wonderful.

For few soldiers served the entire four
years in any command without absence
from wounds, furloGgh or other cause.
To add to the correctness of these
sketches therefore. the idea was CON
ceived Of having each sketch published
in the newspapers circulating most
largely in the section where that com
mand was principally raised, with a
request that the survivors might send
in suggestions, corrections and amend
ments to the regimental historian. Who
might make all needed changes before
the sketches were finally issued i'll book
form.
The press of North Carolina, with
the public spirit and patriotism which
have always especially marked the
press of this State, readily responded to
this call upon their, columns, for which
this association owes them grateful
thanks

REGIMEN1AL HISTORIES.
Progress Made IN Securing Histories Of North
Carolina Regiments.

At the meeting of the North Caro-
lima Veteran Association the followins
report was read by Judge Walter Clark
of the progress made in securing histo
ries of the various regiments and com
mands furnished by North Carolina t
the Confederacy:
Mr.. President and Comrades of the
Veteran Association:
At the meeting of the association five
years ago n resolution was passed ap-
pointing me a committee of one TO Sc
cure one soldier from each regiment and
battalion TO write a brief history OF ms
command with a view to publication
of the complete series by the State IN
one or more volumes. My engagements
were such that under any other cir
culnstances / should have declined, but
| felt that no soldier should refuse any
aid requested of him towards paying
proper tribute to the fame of the gal
liant men, so many Of whom have long
filed soldiers graves.
The task proved more difficult than
any one could have imagined The
leaden hail of time in the thirty odd
years since the close Of the war has
made wider gaps in our ranks than the
musketry and grape shot Of the battle
field. Competent men i'll many com
mands were hard to find, and among
these many were diffident Of their ca
pacity and some few We're too engroSsed
with the business and needs of the pres
ent to be willing to assume the duty
requested of them by their comrades. 1
have written with my own hand more
than 1900 letters in an effort to exc
cute the trust confdef to me by yon.
| have succeeded in securing historian
for nearly every regiment and depart
merit and for several of the battalionS.
AS to the 73rd and 18th regiments which
were Senior Reserves. the youngest liv-
ing member would have been nearly
eighty years of age when my work be-
gan, and it was impossible to get any
historian for them. Fortunately Il
sketch of the 73rd, written many years
ago. has been found, which can be
used.
The object in procuring the sketch OF
each command to be written by one who
had served therein was to have an au-
thentic record from eye-witnesses Of a
part ut least Of the events recorded.

THE STORY OF MORALES ;
ooosoeseoesessseossseee,
By Allen T Bird.

Nogales, of which there are two, one il, the United States, the other in Mex ico, the dividing line passing along the center of a broad street, is unique and interesting in more ways than one. As tho point of contact between two great nations the line city," as it Cor they) is familiarly termed, presents salient features and all the habits and customs of both nationalities. Citl- zens of both republics dwell there to- gether in the closest accord and amity, and engage in social and business con- EiectiOn with an ease and facility which are pleasing to note and gratifying to the patriotic citizens of both countries
 Both governments have there the headquarters of districts in the collec- ton of customs, and important consul ates. It is a divisIon station upon the through line of railway from the Southern Pacific at Benson, and the Gulf of California at Guaymas. The Arizona city is the seat of government of the newly created county of Santa Cruz, and there is movement on the Sonora side of the line to remove from Magdalena to Nogales the government of the district of the same name.
 Besides the business naturally caused by being the gateway for an interna
 tional and transcoatinental traffic No gales is a very important and flourish ing commercial point, the merchants of the place drawing trade from the rich and rapidly developing districts of AL tar, Magdalena and Arizpe, in the state of Sonora, Mexico, and from the equal ly rich and important regions of Orc Blanco, Duquesne, Hanshaw and Wash ingtun camp, in Arizona. Many of the stores carry extensive stocks of goods. and the enterprise and push of the merchants are known and appre :iatcG

and furniture, in the neighborhood, of $2O0O0 THe Masons have a very ele- gant structure, which would reflect credit upon cities many times the size Of Tucson, and these show plainly the earnest backing of prosperous com munity, else such results could never be accom- plished
 A drawback heretofore has been the insufficient water supply. This defect is now being remedied by the erection of modern water works affording an adequate supply for all purposes, in cluding sewerage facilities.
 The pure, dry. balmy climate of Tue son makes it the Mecca for inval1ds and the various hotels are filled to overfloWing. Many of those who re- gain their health and strength remain and engage in business, thus swelling the population.
 Owing to her educational facilities the ancient city is fact becoming the Cambridge of Arizona. She has the university, the academy of St. Joseph, the Indian school and the public high schools and parochial schools. Her citizens are cultured and intelligent and prominent in advancing the inter ests of their own locality as well as the territory She is noted for her hospi- taIity to strangers and the latch string hangs on the outside.

trict near Fort Grant. comprises most promising group of mines, prln- cipally gold bearing, which are owned by T. D. Morris of SoiomOnVille. Be sides these the Lone Star district, north of Stafford, contains several groups of copper claims and smelter is in course of construction on the river at the present time.
 Graham county is not only rich in agriculture and mines, but the stock raising industry is one of the pr1ncI- pal industries. Hundreds of miles are comprised in the caCtle ranges of Ora ham county. There we find such large owners as J. H. IIampson, H. c. Hook CT, J. N. Porter, George A. Olney, Burt Dunlap, Eureka Springs Cattle com pany, and others. Every year Graham county furnishes thousands of head of cattle for the eastern markets. With good rains through the summer the having the terrible winters of the north to contend with the cattiemen in Graham county find stock raising a profitable business.
 The press is represented by the Ari- zona Bulletin, published at Solomon vile the county seat, also the Guardian and Arizonian, at Stafford. The Bulle- tin is the pioneer pape- of the county, having been established in 1882.
 It is a simple statement of fact when we say of al the counties of Arizona Graham county undoubtedly is one of the richest in resources. Rich in mines, stock raising and agriculture she is destined to take leading place at no late day in the counties of Ari- zOna

FACTS ABOUT
 MOHAVE COUNTY

Mohave county has population Of 5000 whites and 1000 Haulapaf In- dians. Kingman's population is 1000 souls and has more wealth and does more business than any town of her size in Arizona. It is located on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad at an alti- tu6e of $500 feet. It has three general merchandise establishments, doing an immense business; two drug stores, two ore sampling works, two newspa- pers, two hotels, one ice factory and bottling works, and numerous reStau- rants and. dealers in wet goods. At least fifty carloads of ore and concen- trates are. shipped from here each month. Chloride; twenty-five miles north, furnishes the major portion of the ore shipments, and about all of the lead and copper ores. The Tennessee mine and mill is the heaviest producer. while the Elkhart at Chloride is a good second Chloride is lively mining camp and doubtless will have branch of the Santa Fe during the present year from Kingman At White Hills, fifty miles north of Kingman, the White Hills Mining and Milling com pany is pounding away with it's fifty stamps on high grade silver ore Thir- ty miles further north and on the Colo rado river the Temple Bar and Santa Anna companies are building roads and placing machinery and expect their new steel steamer, St. Sallier, now be- ing finished at Needles, Cal, to arrive soon. A new cyanide plant under the manage ment of R. G. Eckis is now commencing to produce gold by this new and cheap process. This plant is located northwest Of White, Hills on the Colrado river at the Southwestern mine and mill in Nevada. Success is hoped for from this process as the ore in that district must be worked near the mines.

STORY OF THE
 GILA VALLEY By W. B. Kelly.
By W. B. Kelly.

The principal agricultural districts of Arizona are to be found in the counties of Maricopa and Graham. The famous Gila valley in Graham county not only equals the Salt River valley but has many points of advantage. Notably among the advantages to be found in that section of Arizona is the abundance of ready markets which are close at hand and where the energetic farmers find cash buyers for their products of all kinds. The valley is dotted here and there with steam roll CT f1ouring mills which vie with each other in purchasing the wheat crop long before it has been harvested The flour manufactured in the Gila valley compares favorably with that of the eastern make and foreign grade of flour is seldom if ever used. The hay, barley and corn is marketed at the

all over southern Arizona and north ern Sonora.
 The country tributary is net only very rich in natural mineral resources, but the cattle ranges are among the best and most valuable in the south west, and Nogales is the seat of a large import trade in stock from the Interior of the state of Sonora.
 The joint population of the two mu nicipalities is nearly five thousand souls, and in each there are fine graded schools with large attendance and thoroughly competent teachers under whose tuition pupils make very rapid progress.
 Situated at an altitude of aboul four thousand feet the climate is mild and equable, avoiding both the excessive heat in summer of lower attitudes and experiencing but little really cold weather in winter. Bright and pleas ant days follow each other in an almost endless succession, and the invalid and health seeker find the climate unparal- leled. Many of the leading citizens and officials in the state of Sonora have established summer homes at Nogaies, and their families reside there several months in the year, through the heated term. Many Americans operating CT employed in mines and business in SCA nora have their homes in NogaIcs, re. siding there for the educational and climatic advantages presented.
 Roads ramify in various directions, drawing heavy trade, and the enter prising business men of the two cities are doing everything possible to i'm prove, extend and shorten the high ways they now have and to construct new ones. Some years ago the rich and productive OrO BlancO mining re- zion was brought into close relation with the city by the constructioh of n wagon road, and ROW money ia being llberally subscribed to construct good highway to the CGnanea mountains, about fifty miles to the southeast, where very rich copper and silver mines are producing abundantly. A survey for a railway is being made 10 connect Washington camp and Dn- guesne with Nogales. Should the de- velopment of coal HOW almost assured in Sonora, prove all that is anticipated, the rich copper mines in those two camps will consume great quantities of the fuel, NogalCs will be the best place to transfer 1t from the linz of the Sonora railway to the new line, and in that event the line city will be the junction point of the two roads.
 Besides excellent schools the line cities have four churches-two Catho lie, one Methodist, one Congregational; and the various fIaternal societies have strong and flourishing crganiza- tions. The Masonic order has hanI- some temple, the first erected in Ari- zona, and the Odd Fellows now have one in course of erection. The Ma sonic building is a two-story stone structure, and that of the Odd Fellows is likewise two stories of brick. The Montezuma hotel and several of the business blocks are imposing struct- ures of brick or stone, and many pri- vate residences are very elegant in ap- pearance and finish. Like Phoenix, Tucson and many more towns in Ari- zona Nogales began as an adobe town," afterward changing to brick and stone. It is now in the transitory stage, as was Phoenix a dozen years ago, and ere many years "adclbes" will
