"Failure." says Keats, sis, in sense.
the highway 70 success, inasmuch as
every discovery OF what is false leads
us to seek earnestly after what is true.
and every fresh experience points out
some form OF error which we shall
afterward carefully avoid"
Defeats and failures have played n
great part in the history Of success.
1t is not pleasant to think that more
or less Of defeat is absolutely neces-
sary to great success. But that II is
true every student of history knows.
Defeats and failures are great deycl-
opers Of character. They are the GYM
nasia which have strengthened TIE
muscles OF manhood. the stamina, the
backbone which have Won victories.
They Lave made the giants of the race
by giving titanic muscles. brawny
sinews, far reaching iutellects.
How true it is that poverty often
hides her charms under ugly masks.
Thousands have been forced into great
ness by their very struggle to keep
the wolf from the door She is often
the only agent nature can employ to
call man out of himself and push
him on toward the goal which she had
fitted him to reach. Nature cares little
for his ease and pleasure. 1t is tho
man she is after. and she will pay any
price or resort to any eXpedient to
lure him on. She masks her own ends
in mans wants and urges him onward
oftcntimes through difficulties and OBJ
stucles which are we'll nigh disheart
ening, but ever onward aud upward
toward the goal.-Itegister.

P RIVATE PENSION BILLS.
Senate Passes Eighty-Three and tn e
House Fifty-Three Boer sympathy
Resolution.
SENATE.


Washington, April 14.-Beyond the
passage of eighty-three private pension
bills and some general measures Of
minor importance, the n trans
acted little business today.
The Alaskan civil code bill was I'M
der consideration for some time, but
finally went yer until Monday, when
an effort will be made forget a vote
upOn it.
Senate Berry, of Arkansas, directed
attention to the fact that the house of
representatives had adopted a resoiu-
ton in favor Of h election of senators
by the people and he appealed to the
committee on privileges and elections,
10 which his resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution for the
election of senators by the people had
been referred, TO present a report
either in V or against the reSolu-
ton He regarded it as one of the
o important questions before the
country.
Senator Chandler, chairman of the
committees on privileges and election,
said the committee had beer very much
engaged thus far this session, ,"but
how hat the opinion of the a
from Arkansas has been REINFORCED
by action Of the house, doubtless the
Will wv
10 consider the subject"
Senator Chandler said that, personal
ly, he was opposed to the election of
senators by the people, but he would
be glad to ave the question consid-
sred.
Then the senator from South Dako-
ia resumed his speech on the history
Of the Boer war, advocating the adop-
ton of Senator Mason'S resolution eX-
pressive of sympathy for the Beers
In their fight against Great Britain.
He mathematical England in every
phase of her government and declared
that her colonieS were cursed by her
control. Il hope the day will come
and 1 hope the Transvaal war will
furnished the opportunity-when Ire
land will rise and sweep every British
soldier and every British landlord into
the sea"
AT 4:21 o'clock the senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
After one hour of routine business,
the house today devoted it's session to
hearing eulogies On the late Governor
Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, in con-
nection with the acceptance of his
statue which has been placed in

state which he served. The speakers
included MeSsrs. Steele, MierS, 'Crum-
packer, Overstreet, Griffith, Hemen-
way, Brick, Alexander, Faris and Wat
son, of Indiana; GroSvenor, of Ohio,
and Cannon, of Illinois.
Previous to this order Of business

Facts
for


Any article, whatever its merit
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising.
however. though it can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. 1t MAJ
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is e lasting and absolutely unequaIeG
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy fer female ills in the
world. and this has been the case for
years
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she i
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not Only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements out solid facts.

TRUCK AND STRAWBERRIES.
Large Shipments of Radishes and Let
tuce-Movement of Strawberries

Two solid cars of radishes were ship
ped north yesterday by the Fruit
Growers Express. The crop of this
popular vegetable is very abundant and
they are bringing good prices. The
truck crop in this vicinity this year is
a success and large quantities of early
vegetables are being shipped daily.
Two express cars Of lettuce and other
vegetables were shipped north last
night via the Southern Express Com
pany.
The first shipment of Strawberries,
by Mr.. Allie Bowen, of Long Creek,
was announced in The Messenger OF
Thursday. Other shipments by grow
ers in all parts of this strawberry belt
can be safely expected during the
coming week and within ten days the
crop, which gives promise of vast
proportions, will be well under way.
The crop this season is nearly tWo
weeks late and is expected to be PROB
ably % per cent. short of last year.
The Southern Express Company, the
Fruit Growers Express Refrigerator
Car Company and the lanti CoaSt
Line officials have all things in read1-
ness to provide the growers ample
transportation facilities to northern
and eastern markets, schedules for
special express, refrigerator car and
common freight trains being already
arranged so that the trains a be put
on whenever they are needed.

CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.
Another Case of Left in the House by
Themselves.

Savannah, Ga. April 14-Primas,
Lawrence and William Williams, col
ores. aged respectively 5 years. 2 ears
and 6 months, were burned alive last
night in plain view of more than 100
persons, who were powerless to rescue
them.
The mother of thee hildren left them
alone while she went to pay a visit.
There was no fire in the house, not
even a lighted lamp, when she left,
but there was a box of matches on a
table. and the eldest boy was awake.
The woman had been gone only a
few moments when screams from the
house attracted attention and it was
found to be in flames.
The children were plainly seen inside
by the crowd which quickly gathered:
but being surrounded by four walls OF
fire it was impossible to do anything
for them. In sight of the spectators,
therefore they were literally cremated
alive. In half an hour after the
mother left them only quiverlng
chunks Of flesh remained Of the chill

At the Vienna Exposition, held in
Austria severa years ago, nothing on
exhibition attracted as much attention
as the magnificent display of native
polished wood from the state Of North
Carolina. DR.. Cyrus l.. Hunter, of,
Lincoln county, N. c., conceived the
idea of procuring the various specimens
of native woods and exhibiting them.
He first entered them at the Raleigh
fair in 1872 and 1873, Professor Kerr.
then state geologist, saw them and
urged DR.. Hunter to allow him to take
the specimens to the Vienna fair, as
it would advertise the products of the
state. The specimens were allowed
to go and so much pleased was the
Emperor Francis Joseph with the beau
ty and variety of woods grown in
North Carolina that Professor Kerr
was persuaded to present the whole
lot to the Emperor and they even now
remain on exhibition in the museum
in that famous European capital.
Americans went abroad and learned
there of North Cardinals wealth in
timbers, and in more ways than one
has the state reaped a beneft.-Hen-
