KIDNEY CURE.

There Is no disease 80 insinuat-
ing, 50 slow but sure, as kidney dis
ease, or so widespread. The symp-
toms are SO slight as to generally
escape notice.
The first indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quantity may be increased or de-
creased; it is likely to be highly col
ored and scalding; 1t may be pale
or thin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro-
nounced symptoms will be present,
such as dizziness, bloating, ETC.,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders.
Poisonous waste matter is collected
by the blood from all parts Of the sys-
tenn and carried to the kidneys, where
II u separated and cast out through the
urine. The kidneys deal with the blood
only, deriving nourighment there
from. Hence, II the blood is bad the
kidneys are not only overworked, bu
underfed. How necessary is Il, there
blood should be maintain ed. II plain
why the great blood purifier and
strengthener DIR. Harter IS Iron Tonic
has been successfully used Ia treating
kinney diseases ana IN preventing same.
In purifying the blood the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
a very old story:
PINE KNOT, KY, June 25, 1902.
The Dr.. Ha1fer Medicine Co., Dayton, o.
GENTLEMEN / had a severe case OF
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys in bad order. have tried
a number Of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but DR.. Harter's Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything else. Q. CoRDELL,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are thousands Of Just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr.. Cordell's
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest Of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder DR..
HartersIron Tonic promptlycured,
because 1t purified and enriched the
blood, and such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the organs.

Funeral of Willie Livingston.

Mention was made in these columns
last week of the death Of Willie
Livingston. aged IA years. adop: ed
son of Mrs. John Livingston, which
occurred in Washington City on the
9th inst, while they were en- route
from Henderson to their home in
Fremont, Nebraska. The body was
taken to Fremont for burial, Mr.
Livingston meeting his wife in
Chicago. The Fremont Tribune, of the
9th, says:
The First Methodist church was
the scene of almost indescribable
beauty this afternoon for the funeral
of Willie Livingston who died at
Washington this week. Immense
quantities of cut flowers, chiefly
roses and carnations, produced a
large share of the general effect. Tho
church was crowded during the SER
vice. Nearly hundred schoolmates
OF the young boy sat in body in the
West section of seats. The railroad
men showed their respect for this
occasion by sending beautiful bank
of flowers. In fact it was pronounced
the most beautiful floral display ever
made at funeral in Fremont. The
sermon, preached by DR.. Sanderson,
was full of beautiful thoughts and ex-
pressivc sentences"

Death of Mr.. j. e. rlagee.

Mr.. j. E. Magee, former resident
of Henderson, where he was at one
time engaged in the tobacco business,
died in Raleigh last week. He was a
most excellent gentleman and had
many friends among our people. The
NeUs and Observer says:
After an illness of many months
Mr. Joseph Emmett Magee died yes
terday morning about 3 O'Clock at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. j. E..
Drake. corner of Mcdowell and Har-
gett streets, where with his family he
was boarding.
Mr.. Magee was a native OF Prince
George County, Va, where he was
born in 1915. At the age Of sixteen
he enlisted in the Confederate army
and proved a gallant young soldier.
He resided in Petersburg for a num-
Der of years and afterwards located
in WarrentOn, n c., where for years
he was engaged in the tobacco bust
ness Some time before removing to
Raleigh last fall he was in the tobacco
| business in South Carolina and Dunn,
but his system gave way and since
that time he has gradually grown
weaker till death came
Ten years ago he married Miss
Rozelle Virgins Drake, of Warrenton,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j. E. Drake,
who with two small children, boy
and a girl, survive him. There also
survive him a brother and two sis
tiers, and of these Mr.. Allen W. Maeee,
of GAINESVILLE, Va, and Mrs. C. M.
Jones, of Petersburg, Va, reached
here last night.
Mr.. Magee was a man of the high
est type of manhood, his character
istics being such as to endear him tC
all who knew him. Kind. gentle and
tender, true and sincere, he is deeply
incurred as a husband, father and
friend.

OfInterest to Farmers.

Every farmer now has the oppor-
tunity to protect his growing crop by
insurance against hail. In another
column appears the advertisement OF
the Park Region Mutual Hail fnsnr-
ance Association. This Company in
sures against loss by hail and has
proven of great advantage to the
farmers of the West. 1t was organ
lied in 1894 and has paid every cent
OF losses it's policy holders have ever
sustained. Its terms are liberal and
it will. no doubt, be literally patron

farmers.
This Company is being represented
in Vance county by Mr.. j. W. Brown,

JUDGE CLARK'S LETTER.
"fie Has Been Actuated by No Corrupt
or Unworthy Motive
News and Observer, 18th.

News and Observer, 18th.
We publish today the letter of Hon.
Walter Clark, Associate Justics of the
Supreme Court. answering the charges
made upon his personal character
and official integrity. Many of his
friends, in view OF the fact that the
Democratic county conventions were
unanimously endorsing him for Chief
Justice, advised him to make no re-
ply to the charges made upon him.
But he rightly concluded that, while
he could afford to ignore the other
charges. he could not rest satisfied
without replying to the cireumstan-
tlal charges that he was corrupt
judicial officer.
The men who have always opposed
Judge Clark because of his public
views will oppose him still after read
ing his letter. His friends will regard
it as a complete and crushing refuta-
ton of all that has been said about
him. The fair minded public, neither
biased by enmity nor Influenced by
friendship, will say that the charges
against his character and integrity
are not sustained. They will not say
that he has been free from mistake OF
judgment or of action, but they will
say almost unanimously that he has
been actuated by no corrupt or un-
worthy motive.

A LOSS TO THE STATE PRESS.

The retirement OF DR.. +. b. Kings
bury from the editorial chair of the
Wilmington Messenger is a distinct
loss to the State press. 1t comes as
a personal loss to the editor of the
GOLD LEAF who has found in him an
inspiration and an example for more
than twenty years. We have always
admired him and have profited by his
writings-his honorable, dighified,
manly, course in journalism. DR..

country well and retires to the quiet
and more sequestered pursuits of life
full of honors and the well earned
plaudits of "well done"
Would that we were in position to
command the services of his ripsned
experience and trenchant pen as long
as he feels disposed to give the public
the benefit of such.
AS the Asheville Citizen says: ''In
the retirement of Editor Kingsbury
from the Wilmington Messenger the
press of the State suffers q great loss.
DR.. Kingsbury is not only one of the
oldest editors in the State, but he is
perhaps the most accomplished writer
among them, and his retire ment from
the editorial chair will cause general
regret"

A Journalists Education,

Az a kind OF education for a journalist,
I think he will spend his time most profit
ably In the study OF history. OF conu-
mental languages. and of the masters OF
style In his own tongue 1 regard time
spent by anybody who does not intend
20 be a professional scholar over Latin
and Greek, as sheer waste. II does not
% n young man any harm to go through
q university. but / cannot say that
think II does him so very much good;
though, after all. there is no university
for one who has 10 make his living so
good as the University OF Life.
But, on the other hand, unless young
man devote some years OF his lie TO
learning II Is possible that he Will never
Eet the habit OF reading at all, and with
cut good reading Il is difficult for man
90 rise 10 good writing.
The two most read. and. In the true
sense most scholarly men ever met IN
my life, are Julian Mccarthy and the late
George Augustus Sala, and neither the
one nor the other ever went 20 a uniVer-
sity. The one began earning his living
when he was IL as a reporter; the other
started even al an earlier age Tor, l
think. he was call-boy or a scene painter
at a theatre as a start I'm life.
And when you put these men by the
aide OF a university man, and even uni
versity man OF a high degree, you saw
how ignorant was the university man and
how learned the two who had never heard
o university lecture.
But then these are two exceptional men,
and. whatever had been their lives. would
have been great readers. But TO most
men reading-especially with the serious
purpose OF acquiring knowledge-is an
art TO be taught. and taught under the
eompulsion OF competition and master
and all the rest OF the machinery OF a
scholastic establishment

tance 10 reading as a training for the
