DISCOVERY

ct have been thinking of writing to
you for some time, y writes Mrs. w. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robson Co., N. c.,
''to let you know what wonderful thing
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
did for my little boy. He was taken
with indigestion when he was a year
and half old, and he was under the
doctors treatment for five long years.
We spent all we made for doctors bills,
and It did no good. He could not eat
anything only little milk and cracker,
and sometimes even this would make
him sick, and he got very weak; could
not sit up all day, and I gave up all hope
of his ever getting any better. Looking
over one of your books l noticed DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
commended for Indigestion. We bought
some and gave to our boy. Two bottles
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cured him. He is we'll as can be,
and can eat anything that he wants and
It does not hurt him, He has not been
sick a day since, and it has been three
years since he took your medicine 1
pray that God will always bless you and
your medicine"

A good story is going the rounds
about a young Main street mer-

attended matinee at Havlin's in
company with another young man.
He occupied a seat next to a swell
West End society girl. With him it
was a case of love at first sight He
confidently informed his friend that
he was going to make a masa, and

vain attempts to engage her in con-

Political Bumcornbe,

Congressman Shackleford has in
troduced q bill to place wood pulp
and newspaper on the free list. 1t is
only characteristic bit of buncombe.
The tariff now on the pulp varies from
one-twelfth to one-fourth of cent a
pound when dry, instead of ten per
cent as it was under the wilson law.
On newspaper it is three-tenths of a
cent pound now, instead of u per
cent. as it was under the former law.
The bill is entirely unnecessary. The
manufacture and price of paper will
adjust themselves to the demand and
conditions like everything else. If the
price Of paper is too high and its
manufacture more profitable than it
should be there is no power that can
prevent the establishment of other
plants ''to fight the trusts" just as
well in our own country as to yield
free competition to foreigners. That
is the case all along the line of man
industries. = Lockwood
