The onion is undoubtedly wholesome
article OF food, in fact has many medici-
nal qualities OF value, but it would be
difficult to find 2 more indigestible article
than fried onions, and TO many people
they are simply poison, but the onion
does not stand alone In this respect. Any
article OF food that Is not thoroughly di-
gested becomes a source of disease and
discomfort whether it be fried onions or
beef steak.
The reason why any wholesome food
is not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
Of digestion, some stomachs lack peptone,
others are deficient in gastric juice, still
others lack hydr0chloric acid.
The one thing necessary TO do in any
case OF poor digestion is 10 supply those
elements OF digestion which the stom-
ach lacks, and nothing docs this so thor
oughly and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
DR.. Richardson in writing thesis on
treatment OF dyspepsia and Indigestion
closes his remarks By saying, for those
suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by
sour watery risings, or for fiatulent dys
repsia shown by gas on stomach. causing
heart trouble ard difficult breathing, as
we'll as for all other forms Of stomach
trouble. the safest treatment Is TO take
one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs, but are
composed OF valuable digestiyes which
act promptly upon the food eaten.
never knew a case of indigestion or even
chronic dyspepsia which stuart's Tablets
would not reach"
Cheap cathartie medicines claiming TO
cunt dyspepsia and Indigestion can have
no effect whatever in actively digesting
the food, ana TO call any eathartic ncdi-
cine cure for Indigestion is q misnomer,
Every druggist in the United States
and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, aud they are not only the safest
and most successful but the most scien-

The School Fund in Cumberland

To the Editor: Cumberland is being
cut out OF her share of the State al
lowance for her needy school districts
by the action contrary TO ruling, of her
County Board of Education, and much
dissatisfaction is being expressed. The
township Is and has been the unit, and TO
unset The per capita distribution, by
taking from one township that has per-
haps saved by economic and careful man
agement to help another in needy circum-
stances. instead Of going to the State
Fund, is a stand that cur people can
NOT understand.
There are some sections of Cumberland
county as poor and as needy as any in
the State, and these sections should be
helped, according, 10 State promise; but
this should come from the State and not
from the adjoining township.

spectacle family.
DR.. Albright, who has had over fifty
years Of parctiee, says in all of his prac-
tice she died the most horrible death
he ever witnessed. 1t was impossible for
him to give her any relief.
There is a young man that has been
calling on her for some time and public
opinion is strong against him, but the
community may never know just who
caused her death, but somebody is re-
sponsible for it, for she had not been
away from home for some time, and af-
ter the first fit she never regained con-
seriousness. If the guilty party is found
this won't be a very healthy climate for
him. The girls people are in good
standing, and old people say there has
pever been a parallel case in the county.

TO ELIZABETH CITY
Road Connecting Raleigh
With Northeast Carolina,
Captain Skinner Thinks il Can be Finished
This Spring With 100 conyicts For
Road Making.

Among the attendants upon the Good
Roads Congress is the Hon. T. G. Skin
ner representing the counties Of Pasquo-
tank and Perquimans. He has a double
object In visiting Raleigh. Besides at
tending the Good Roads Convention, he
comes to try to get some convicts TO as
sist III building the Elizabeth City and
Western Railroad, which was chartered
by Mr. Skinner four years ago and upon
which he has been bending all his ener-
gle sever since. This road when COM
pleted will put Raleigh within six hours
ride OF the true location Of the Garden
of Eden, which Mr.. Skinner thinks and
has persuaded MS TO think, was located
east of the Chowan river. Mr. Skinner
has succeeded in interesting the Suffolk
and Carolina road, which is now running
as a narrow gauge road from Suffolk
down into Chowan county, and that rail-
road company is purposing in the near
future to make their road a standard
gauge and to build IL from Bosley, in
Gates county, to Elizabeth City, the me-
tropolis OF Northeastern North Caro-
lima. This city has increased its popula-
ton within the last ten years over 100
per cent and with this new railroad put
ting 1t In close connection with Raleigh
and the west, which will enable them to
make Elizabeth City a distributing point
fer the immense quantities OF fish which
are caught in the eastern waters and
also for the cereals that are raised in
the fertile lands of that part of the
State and the immense quantity OF gar
den truck, which is raised in that Sec
ton, will. in the next two or three years,
Mr. Skinner thinks, run the population
of Elizabeth City up to $4,000 and make
it the leading city in North Carolina
We TRUST that Mr.. Skinner will sue
coed in getting the managers of the
penitentiary to let him have a sufficient
quantity of convicts TO grade this road
in time to give US some of the shad and
herring that are caught there this
spring. Mr. Skinner, who Is a hustler,
says that If they will give him 100 hands
with authority TO work them as they
used TO work negroes before the war.
he will complete that road and have
Ii running within three weeks, and X
is to be hoped that the Governor and
those in charge of the penitentiary will
in some way manage 10 allow Mr.. Skin
ner 10 have the hands.
