If there are any objections
to the water now being used
in Southern Pines, we have
no knowledge of them. And
after reading thereport of the
towns expenditures in con.
neCtion with the plant, if any
citizen has a criticism, we
would be glad to have him or
her, submit the same for pub
lication. And while we feel
sure that it's installment
could never have been done
satisfactory to every indivi-
dual it must be admitted that
a large majority of our people
are satisfied with the outlay.

JACKSONVILLES' FIRE.

All the floods, freezes,
storms, yellow fever cpl
denies, etc that ever visited
Jacksonville, Fla, have not
done near so much drmage as
did the big conflagration in
that city last Friday. The
biggest half of a pretty and
hu sting city of4 5000 people
has been laid waste and more
than -, 900 people, who were
in some cases wealthy, and
we'll to do in others, the day
before, have been forced to
sleep on the streets and join
in with the hungry and almost
starving masses in an appeal
for relief.
It is said that fifteen mil
lions of dollars will not cover
the property loss in the strick
en- city, besides the reported
loss of many lives. The news
came Monday that boat and
train loads of provisions were
being received from neigh
boring towns, besides money
contributions are flowing in
from all parts of the country.

WHATS IN A NAME
(BensonS Plaster is Pains Masfar) }

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels We're used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty wears.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son. was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster IS the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is a 'sgood" plaster does
not describe it 1t is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc, are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
pIasters have none of the curative virtues
OF Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters. Ben

LETTER toe. F. PERCIVAL,
BARTON, VT

BARTON, VT.
Dear Sir: You are a maker; so are we
You know what you make: you know all about
it. We know our paint you know your
goods.
We know what it is, how it acts, what it
does, how it lives, and how long-the condi-
tions being favorable or unfavorable.
1t is fair that we take the rick of it every
way; but ought not to risk any use or
abuse of it.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing with
strangers. We are strangers to them as they
are strangers to us.
We want to be trusted by them. We trust
them first; that's the way to get trusted. We
trust them to paint with fair degree of COM
mon paint-knowledge and care We expect
to be trusted to furnish paint as good as paint
can be, and to last as long paint can.
If you do your business that way, you are a
fellow with us and one of a thousand.
A few mean men in the course of year will
abuse our trust and put us to loss; but 999 in
1000 will tell their friends how true we are
and our paint is. That's what has made us
the largest paint concern in the world. 1t is
our best advertisement.
Yours truly,

Proud of a Patch.

A poor boy, with large patch on
one knee of his trousers, was laughed
at by schoolmate, who called him,
"OId Patch"
"Why don't you fight him?" cried
one of the boys. "I'd give it to him
if he called me So"
'Oh," said the boy, "you don't sup
pose Pm ashamed of my patch do you?
For my part, I'm thankful for a good
mother to keep me out of rags. Pm
proud of the patch for her sake"
A patch is better than hole, and
patched garments which are paid for
are more comfortable than new ones
which make man afraid to meet his

Bounced the Bill of Fare.

Stories of the generosity of Judge
Poland, of Vermont, are constantly
coming to light. One of the prettiest
is about an old farmer, whom the
judge invited to dine with him one
day at the hotel in Lyndon, VT.
The old mans shabby garments and
uncouth manners did not preve Mt his
host from being heartily glad to see
him, and he was ushered into the
dining with all the Difference
that could have been shown the
judges most distinguished friend.
1t was the farmers first experience
at hotel, and when the waiter laid
the menu card before him he asked
quickly, ''WhaU's that?"
THE bill of fare, sir" replied the
waiter.
"Take it away!" said the old man,
with a look of triumph on his brown
face. "Judge Poland isn't the sort
that invites folks and then let's 'em
pay their own bills. I've known him,
boy and man, young Teller! Perhaps
you didn't know Pm avis ting Judge
Poland to-day.''
The waiter bowed with the aspect
of craven image, but the judge and

Constructive, Not Destructive.

The people of the United States
cannot, nor do they care to, turn back
the wheel of progress. Industrial
evolution has been moving along
during the past quarter of century,
and the quack statesmen who attempt
to place obstacles on the track do not
furnish evidence of good judgment,
however patriotic their Intentions
may be. This evolution, unparalleled
as it is in the history of any nation,
has been made possible ply the protec-
tive tariff policy Of the republican
party. If the time has come for the
national government to adopt some
plan whereby the industries of the
country may be directed in their flu
ture development and in business
relations with the general public, let
congress take up the matter as a new
problem, one that must be solved by
constructive, and not destructive leg
islation. The man who erects a sub
stantial building is a public benefactor;
is a public nuisance and should be

Railroad Enterprises That Arc bringing
the Earth'a People Together.

the h-AFth feople loketnefs
The plan of building a railroad
across the Sahara desert is being
pushed by several of the leading en-
gineers of France. Several routes are
under discussion. NJ. Foureau of the
Paris Geographical society, who has
recently returned from an African ex-
pedition, has gone so far as to eX-
plore and survey one line of the pro-
posed road. The enterprise embraces
over 5000 miles OF track-laying.. 1t
Will be necessary to protect the road
bed against sandstorms and moving
dunes. The route passes through the
territory of many savage tribes, bitter
foes Of every white enterprise. The
proposed routes are all planned to
cross one or more Of the cases. Such a
road would be of great Importance in
developing central Africa. 1t is not
generally realized that Cecil Rhodes
railroad, which is to connect Cape
Town with Cairo. is already completed
for one-third of the distance. His tele-
graph has reached central Africa. The
twentieth century will possibly wit
ness the completion of a continuous
railway line through the United States,
Central and South America. A num-
Der of roads are at present in operation
which will be connected and extended.
The plan Of connecting Cape Horn
with the United States in this way L.
getting practical and merely awaits
greater commercial interests to set IL
IN motion. There are several projected
railways much nearer realization for
connecting the United States with
Alaska. which would thus place the
entire western coast line of the two
continents in close communication. 1t
is within the range of engineering DOS
slbilities that, with the exception of a
Terry at Behring strait, or even a pier
bridge there, it may some day be DOS
sible to travel by rail from Cape Horn
10 cape Iown. The twentieth century
may witness the construction of the
ong-talked-of bridge or tunnel con-
Meeting England with the continent of
europe. Both plans have been pro-
nounced entirely practicable by expert
engineers, but have been held IN for
1ear or political complications. The
ocean telephone meanwhile is assured,
we may expect to talk with Europe
within five years. The canal connect
ing the Atlantic and Pacific In Mica
ragua will doubtless be realized early
in the twentieth century. The great
Siberian railroad is even now a reality
Wlthln few years the road will
doubtless be extended to Port Arthur
and probably into China. The privi-
ieges which will probably soon be
given by China for railroad construc-
ton will make it possible within a few
years to travel by rail continuously.
