THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few FnctS on the Same Sub
iecf


We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygieniC living, about VegeJa-
rianism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or conee IS
served and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad-
Tancesi 10 prove hat meat was never IN
tended for human StOmaChsr and almost
make us believe that orr sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust
health on roast beef, pork. and mutton
must have been grossly ignorant Of the
laws Of health.
Our forefathers had other things 10 do
than formulate theories about tie food
they ate war1a welcome was extended
to any kind from bacon to acorns.
4 healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in matters
Of diet, and a mixed diet Of grains, fruits,
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes she most nutriment IN a
/ highly concentrated form and is digest ed
| and aSsimilated more quickly than Yege-
+. tables and grains.
DR.. julius ReTlInson on this subject
says Nervous erSonS, people run down
in health and of low vitality should cat
meat and plenty of il. If the digestion
IS too feeble at first it may be easily cor
rected by the regular use of Stuart DyS-
pepSla Tablets after each meal. Two Of
/ these excellent tablets taken after dinner
WIZ dlgeSt several thousand grains Of
meat eggs or other animal food in three
hours. and no matter how weak the
stomach may be. no trouble will be ex-
perienced if a regular practice is made of
] using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because
/ they supply the pepSin and diastase nee
eSsdTy to perfect digestion, and every
form Of indigestion Will be overcome by
their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspepticS

Especial to News and observer)

Ridgeway. n. c., April 30.-The sad in
telligence reached here this morning OF
the death Of Mai Robt. w. Aston, at MS
home in this county, on yesterday, the
29th. of pneumonia, the disease being ag-
ravated by old wounds received during
the last DAYS Of the War at Petersburg
Tins has passed from earth one OF the
most gallant officers that ever offered his
life for the defense of his native land,
and the few of his old comrades in arms,
who vet remain feel sad and lonesome,
hecause they will not hear his cheerful
voice and behold his ever genial coun-
tenance again.
He was about sixty-four years old ana
was horn and reared in this, Warren,
county. and always lived here where
his ancestors. the Alstons, Williams,
Davises and Kearneys have lived for
many generations.
In the spring of 1862 Major Aston
raised a company OF infantry in this
county and Franklin of which he became
captain, and his company was assigned
to the 18th n G.. regiment to fill the
Mace Of company whose term of SER
vice. had expired. His three brothers
werA already serving in said regiment,
two Of whom afterwards died of WOUNDS
and another still lives, though desper-
ately wounded.
After the battle of ChancellorsViiie
Captain Aston became major of the regi-
ment. Major Rowe having been killed III
said battle. He commanded the regiment
in many hard fought battles in the lat
fer part of the war and never received
any serious wound until the battle OF Ce-
dar Creek in the Valley, when ne was
shot from his horse, his jaw-bone oelns
broken while covering the retreat OF
Farly's army He came back to the regl-
ment at Petersburg and was engaged IN
Gardens attack on Fl Steadman, where
he received two severe wounds Wnich
crippled him for life The Major was no
martinez and | do not suppose he ever
smoke a harsh word to one of his men, but
in battle he was always reckless as TO
his own life He never ordered men to go
forward in battle, but always led them'
He was county commissioner at the
time of his death, which position he had
always held when the Democratic party
controlled the State.
Major Aston married his relative, MISS
Pattie Davis. daughter of the late John
G. Davis. of Franklin, who, with a large
family of sons and daughters, survive

Insane Asylum supt Gone Wrong
Louisville Post.)

Hopkinsville, Ky. April 27,-Consider-
able excitement has been caused mere by
the fact. which is just beginning to leak
out, that Governor Beckham has written
a letter to DR.. E. B. Mccormick, Super
intendent of the Hopkinsville Insane Asy-
lum, requesting his resignation, because
of charges which have been pending
against him for several weeks.
The charges are Of serious nature
and DR.. McCormick's friends claim that
he is the victim of conspiracy, and he
has refused to resign. It is said that
the Governor may remove him without
any further investigation, but the local
board lof commissioners has registered a
protest against such action
Several weeks ago affidavits prepared
by w. G. Childs, formerly an attendant
in the asylum, and Mrs w. G. Childs
formerly matron, were laid before the
board charging DR.. Mccormick with i'm
moral conduct with one of the attend,
ants in the women's ward. A called meet
ing of the board was held and resolu-
ton was passed stating that inasmuch
as grave charges had been made against
DR. Mccormick which, by their nature,
reflected upon the institution and the
board, full investiga ton was desirable.

ALABAMA's COTTON CROP.

The New York Commercial publishes a
table giving very interesting information
in regard to the new cotton crop in Ala
bama 1t will follow this with like stat
istics from all the cotton States, en-
bracng the stock on hand, consumption
Of fertilizers, and estimate of acreage ana
crop. This information will be valuable.
The reports show that there is on mana
in Alabama. $685. bales in 1901 as
against A, 1876 on hand in 1900, an increase
of 1875 per cent. The table shows that IN
almost every neighborhood there has been
an increase in the consumption OF fertllt.-
ger, the average gain in the whole state
being eleven per cent.
In their estimate of the total crop Oh
the State this year most Of the Alabama
cotton men are very conservative, ana an
averaging of the estimates from all over
the State shows that the general Judg-
ment is that the Alabama crop Will pc
about 6.5 per cent less this year IMAM
last Notwithstanding this estimate. the
figures show that in most sections OF the
State the acreage is larger than last
year. The average increase in acreage
is almost 10 per cent.
The AIabamians were also requested to
estimate, the whole crop in the United
States for the present year. The lowest
given was 100000 bales and the highest
was 10000, 900 bales.

COMPETITION IN COTTON.

A dispatch from Tacoma, Washington
saws that the Cotton Spinners Union
embracing the largest cotton manufacture
ers in Japan, has bought 100000 bales OF
Bombay cotton and that thereby ship
ments OF raw cotton from the United
states to the Orient will be greatly af-
fected." 1t adds: Many manufacturers
intend to mix Bombay with American cot
ton. while Others will use the former ex-
clusively. 1t is laid down in Japan
cheaper than American cotton"
The growth of cotton manufacturing in
Janan makes competition with our mills
IN the Orient. and the large use of Bonn
hav cotton makes competition with raw
cotton growers in the South. The farmer
and manufacturers both will feel such
comnetition. and should no longer look ex-
clusively to China and the Orient for the
sale of their surplus. but claim the Worid
as their field The market in South
America is ripe for the harvest.
