when everything else has failed,
Paine's celery compound has brought me
back to health
The thousands Of instances where this
has been said-the score of people in every
community who have told this simple
story, the downright, hard, cold facts;
the grateful Acknowledgements of men and
women who have suffered from the dis
eases that have their origin in impaired
nervous systems and sluggish, impure
blood-there are what have made Paines
celery compound far and away the one
remedy above all others that physicians
prescribe and the public indorse.
1t is by merit, and merit alone thai
Paine's celery compound has achieved it's
wonderful pre- eminence, not only in this
country but throughout the civilized
world.
After the unfortunate person who is all
ing because the blood needs new life,
and the nerves require natures food
finally tries Paine's celery compound, and
gets immediate relief, another is added
to the great multitude of people whose
praise of this remedy has made the de-
mand for it many times larger than that
of all other remedies put together.
A person must have lost all confidence
in his fellowmen who can read the fol-
lowing letter and not be convinced of the
great benefit Paine's celery compound has
done, is doing, and will continue to do
for sick and nervous people wherever it
finds hem
When a sick man or woman finds that
he or she has taken remedy that has
actutlly done for him or her all that is
claimed for tit can be safely predicted
what will follow Every acquaintance,
sick or we'll, will be told about it.

THE CIGARETTE.

Charity and Children.
We would rejoice with exceeding great
joy if the Legislature would pass law
prohibiting the manufacture and sale OF
cigarettes IN the State. 1t is too much to
hope that such law will be enacted. The
business is so entrenched in North Caro-
lima it will take mighty. united effort
the breaking up of the business would
mean the loss Of vast capital and the
removal Of some of our wealthiest citi-
zens; but better this than the untimely
death of a thousand boys. We have no
doubt N the world that the evil effects
of the cigarette habit are more 10 be
dreaded and deplored than those which
follow the drinking of liquor. And yet
how softly We speak of the former, and
how we berate and abuse the latter. Whis-
key drinking is desreputable las it de-
serves to be- and decent public sentiment
is arrayed solidly against it; cigarette
smoking is quite popular, and young
gent suffers no loss of social favor though
he blow smoke through his nose in the
finest Darlor. 1t is high time that we
call a spade a spade. The pale face of
many a bright boy tells the tale of the
work of the monster that we have nour-
ished in our bosom. Some day when the
sacrifice is great enough our people will
lift their voices against this deadly enc

ABLE AND PATRIOTIC.
lFayettevilIe Observerl

Governor Avcock's inaugural address is
generally commended by the press as able
and patriotic. It's leading features are
its defense of the amendment, and its
appeal for better educational facilities
for those who might otherwise fail to &C
quire the privilege of voting, for better
election law, and for harmony between
those whom political questions have late
ly estranged.

have a part in the official ceremonies for

the words which he spoke to North Caro-

NO PROPERTY FOR SALE
Although He Has "Lashings"
of 1t in Wichita.

The Knight Investment company which
owns nearly a quarter of million dol
lars worth Of real estate in this city has
notified its agents that it had no more
Wichita property on the market for sale.
The belief that property here at present
prices is a good investment IS what in
duced the company TO make this decis-
ion. The knights know Wichita and
they have never lest faith IN its ultimate
success. In 1855 Augustus Knight and
his two sons, Harry L. knight and y
c. knight, came here TO invest a large
amount of money in real estate They
became prominent Ia the management OF
the Davidson Investment company when
its stock was increased TO a million dol
lars and T. c. Knight was secretary
of the company.
When the collapse Of the boom came
they returned east. bat held on their
possessions here believing that the large
amount Of money which they had invest
cd here would in time return TO them.
They would never price q piece Of prop
erty at less than cost even ~ the darkest
days following the depression Of high
prices. They were finally induced to
put a price on the property at 318 East
Douglas avenue. The price they placed
on the property gave them profit and
when Fred Bissantz picked them up,
Harry f. Knight came out here from St.
Louis to see what was the matter with
Wichita. He had no idea Of selling the
property when he priced it.
he was here yesterday and looked
over the city and made up his mind that
his company would not price any more
property in Wichita. It was a mighty
good thing TO keep, he thought Mr.
Knight is a member of the New York ex-
change although living ia ST. Louis. He
paid $4,000 for a seat in that body four
years ago and now it is worth 81 000
This shows what kind Of a Spectator he
is ard il IS not strange that be was able
to see that Wichita property al present
prices is a good investment The ex-
element in New York yesterday took
8lr. Knight TO that city In a hurry and
that was the cause Of his sudden depar-
ture last night. He went from here di-
rect TO New York.
The action Of the knight Investment
company here shows that they are men
Of remarkable nerve and business fore
sight At one time il would have ap-
peared to men Of less business foresight
that their large investments here was
like the purchase of a gold brick but they
held on and paid their taxes and waited
for the reaction that their mature judg-
ment told them was bound to come. To-
day their property is more than worth
the money they put in it and Harry +.
Knight says he wiz hold for a good deal
higher prices. This is only another proof
of the truthfulness Of the saying that
there is something in Wichita or its sur
roundings that inspires confidence in her /
destiny

in this county. but the commissioners
said they had never offered any reward
for this particular horsethief
Marshal Cox came up. yesterday and
told the commissioners that one morning
he received a telephone message from
the officers here that Hoover had a horse
and buggy stolen from the Auditorium
and he was asked to look out for the
thief By noon he had the man arrested
and he reported the arrest before the
cards were printed Offering the reward.
he said the man was brought here and
plead guilty and was given ten years in
the penitentiary. Sheriff Simmons said
the reward would have been offered if
Cox had not caught the thief so soon
and Marshal Cox said he thought this
county had a standing reward OF $50 for
the arrest Of horsethieves. The commits
sioneTs thought they had made a mis-
fake and that the Wellington officer was
entitled to the SO and they paid it.

WILL HELP THE PARK.
Robert McCracken Donates rees to
Beauty Riverside.

Robert McCracken. of the sedgwick
Nursery, walked into the Office of Park
Commissioner George Dickson yesterday
and was telling him what a nice lot Of
forest trees he had. He said he had a
large number OF boxelder trees which
were the best for shade that grow in this
section. He also had a lot Of Carolina
poplers. which he said grew as fast as
the Cotton Wood. but was clean and
beautiful forest tree. Then he had the
White Ash. too.
When Mr. Dickson heard this. he
scrat ched his head. An idea was enter
ing there. as is usually the case when
there is something to be accomplished
for the city parks. He then suggested to
Mr.. NIcCracllen that since he was a pub
lie spirited citizen. the proper thing for
him to do. was to donate those trees and
have them planted I'm Riverside park. He
said people would come to know them as
McCracken trees, and people who visited
the park always felt happy and good and
that was the time to have them think
about one. 1t was a go. Mr.. AIcCracken
said those trees belonged to Riverside
park and nobody else can get them.
