ton If the new Federal Government

a. large Il measure of self govern

spirit has been awakened which
promises to make the new common
wealth an important political force.
Prizes have been offered for designs
for ii national flag. In the one likely
to be adopted, the five stars of the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty
four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys if it stains the linen it
is evidence of kidney trouble too
frequent desire to pass it, or pain in
the back is also convincing poof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, fulflls every wish
in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and sCalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and OvercOmes that I'M
pleasant necessity of being COM
PEELED to go often during the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of Swamr-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for
it's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists in ffty-cent and one
dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root and a book that tells
more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Address DR.. Kilrner
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention that you read this
generous offer in the Raleigh Pro
greSSive Farmer.

WARREN COUNTY ALLIANCE.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Warren County Alliance met in
the grand jury room of the court
house on Saturday the 18th day of
January. Considering our numbers
in the county we had Il full and har-
monious meeting, which was adj
dressed principally by our Vice
President, w. B. Fleming, in his
usual pleasant and instructive mode.
The brethren seemed to be inspired
with more life and confidence than
usual and we hope the inspiration
may rebound to the upbuilding and
growth of the Alliance cause in this
county. We will meet next time
with Jones Springs Sub. when we
expect to meet with our Lecturer.
Bro. Kicks, from whom we shall ex-
pect a good talk upon matters per
tanning to the interest of the Order.

Rapid Recruiting of the Army.

washington, February 2.-The war
department practically has completed
it's arrangements for recruiting the
army under the provision of the reor-

month of January amounted to 2,732,
an increase of over 800 recruits over
those secured during the previous
month Of December. The officials are
very much encouraged at this result,
and have no doubt of their ability to
secure all the men they need. Many
new recruiting stations have been es-
tablished in various parts of the coun-
