IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming
Increase in an Already Prevail
ing Disease---Are Any
Exempt?

At no time in the history of dis
ease has there been such an alarming
increase in the number of cases of
any particular malady as in that of
kidney and bladder troubles now
preying upon the people of this
country.
To-day we see a relative, a friend
or an acquaintance apparently we'll,
and in a few days we may be grieved
to learn of their serious illness or
sudden death, caused by that fatal
type of kidney trouuble-Brtght's
disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of it's presence +;
that is why we read of so many
sudden deaths of prominent bust
ness and professional men, physi-
clans and others. They have neg
lected so stop the leak in time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains TO find out the cause, each in
dividual can, by a little precaution,
avoid the chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trou-
BILE, or eradicate 1t completely from
their system if already afflicted.
Many precious lives might have
been, and many more a yet be
saved, by paying attention to the
kidneys.
It is the mission of The Progress
sive Farmer TO benefit its readers at
every opportunity, and therefore we
advise all who have any symptoms
of kidney or bladder trouble to
write today TO DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
B~inghamton, N. Y, for a free sam
pie bottle of Swamp-Root the cele-
brated specific which is having such

With the sample bottle of Swamp

let and treatise of valuable infor-

NORTH CAROLINA JOURNALISM.

The Raleigh Wideawake has made
its appearance. 1t is edited by Mr.
Edgar A. Womble, and in it's
speciality, Wake county news, is un-
e1celled. We wish it success.
We are glad that Mr.. H. P. Allison,
who conducted the Kings Mountain
Reformer for some time, is again in
the harness. He is now editing the
Democrat of that town.
The Tar Heel is the name of a new
newsy newspaper just started in
Elizabeth City by Mr.. Walter l..
Cohoon. Eastern Carolina is it's
field. The first number is very
creditable.
In our remarks a few weeks ago
regarding Mecklenburg crimes, credit
should have been given the Charlotte
Peoples Paper for having published
a vigorous editorial upon the appar-
emit lethargy of the authorities, even
before the Observer offered it's 5000
reward for the capture of Lyle.

Many prominent and influential
people speak in terms of highest
praise of Littleton Female College,
an advertisement of which appears
in this paper, and the institution, we
believe, has the full confidence of
the people. The boarding school
patronage of the college has been
doubled in the last three years, and
during the 10 years of the existence
of the school there has never been a
death among it's pupils.

EXTENDING RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
500 New Carriers-salary Of Carriers to b.
Increased.

500 New Carriers-Salary Of Carriers to be
Increased.
WAsHNToE, August 30.-Superin-
tendent of Free Delivery Machen
will, on October 1, appoint 400 adj
ditional mail carriers in rural dis
tricts, and on November LIST 400
hundred more appointments will be
authorized. This is in accordance
with Mr.. Machen's plan for extend
ing the rural free delivery erv1c as
rapidly as the reports from rural
districts warrant the establishment
of routes. There are now 1908 car
riers in the rural free delivery SER
vice and Maohen has planned to in
e this number TO 5000 by the
end of the current fiscal year. For
a time in the early spring of 1901 the
rural service was at a standstill, ex-
tensions being impossible owing to
the appropriation for the fiscal year
1901 available for the establishment
of the new routes having been ex
pended. When the appropriation of
the current fiscal year became avail
able for use the work of extending
of the service was resumed.
Mr.. Machen estimates that the
sum saved the government by the
adjustment of the star routes and
through the discontinuance of post
offices and the consequent saving in
postmasters salaries, covers half the
expense incident to the substitution
of the rural service.
At the instance of Mr.. Machen, the
postmaster general will recommend
to Congress at it's coming session
that the salaries of rural free delivery
carriers be increased from $500 to
$500 a year.

Miscellaneous
written for The Progressive Farmer.
TINE FOB ACTION.


Since there is a tremendous short,
age of the food crops throughout the
country this year, it is evident that
prices must rule higher since the de-
mandis not diminished. The scarcity
and consequent high prices of corn,
baoon and lard, also of hay and cat
tie. with the inevitable increase In
price of all their products will evil
IDENTIFY increase considerably the de-
mand for the substitutes for these
products. Cotton seed, we are told,
furnishes the best substitutes for
these products. This is true hence
there will he a greatly increased de-
mand for the products of the cotton
seed.
But we see from the official re-
ports that the cotton crop this year
will be not more than seven-tenths
as much as last years crop this fact
of itself ought to add largely to the
selling price of the raw seed. These
two facts, an increased demand and
a decreased supply, ought TO work TO-
gether in the ordinary operation OF
business principles TO very greatly
increase the price the farmer should
receive for his cotton seed.
But there is a contingency arising
which the farmer must face and
meet promptly and bravely or the
increased profit in their reach will
fall into the Golfers of those who
have recently een all these condi-
tions and made haste TO form two
combinations which have purchased
enough of the largest cotton seed oil
mills in the cotton belt to put them
in control OF. 90 per cent. of the en-
tire output of all the mills in the
South. These combinations hope to
hold both ends of the rope this year,
and no doubt count on getting your
seed for the same or lower price,
while they will receive for the prod
uct no doubt so or 100 per cent. adj
vance on last years prices. Nothing
short of practically a complete or
~ganization of the farmers on the
lines suggested by the Alliance reso-
luton, and State Business Agent
Parker's letter in this issue will in
sure the farmers fair prices for their
cotton seed this year.
Please read that communication,
and begin to organize at once. Let
Us hear from you. What you do
must be done quickly. D.

Captains In overaIIs.

Letters received from the Coast in
the steamer Coptic state that the cap
tains and mates of the island vessels
lately arriving in San Francisco have
had to take off their good clothes and
pitch in and discharge their own yes
sells. This is on account of the strike
of the longshoremen. The st. Kathe-
rine from Hilo was discharged by Cap
tain Drew Of the Andrew weleh, Cap
tain Gibbs of the Olympic and mates,
Captain Calhoun and mates of the
George Curtis and Captain Cove and
mates of the Gerard C. Tobey. They
all pitched in and discharged the YES
sell Then they loaded the Tobey and
then started on the other vessels. This
mutual benefit society worked to a
charm and the captains and mates had
good deal of fun out of it and gut
some exercise.
