A HOPEFUL SIGN.

The Worlds Work is beautiful maya
zine and contains much that it is valu-
able, interesting, stimulating. Its editor,
Mr.. Walter H. Page, writes with lucidity
and freshness that is as rare a quality
in magazines as it is delightful. But his
pen has been employed so constantly in
extravagant and fulsome praise of Roose-
welt and Republicansm and Commercial
ism that it has been prett thick and
thin Republican organ, lacking the
breadth of non-partisan and just critic
OF current politics.
The September number contains two or
three articles that read more like Mr..
Walter II. Page, the ardent Chief Re-
former, whose activities in the Reform
Club made him a conspicuous figure in
that earnest work against the protection
that has been the mother of trusts. 1t
commends the Iowa Republican platform
declaration on the tariff and roasts 'the
cowardice of the Republican Congress, :"

publican speakers and editors, an illogi-

(much of it, a lie; and it degrades you

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish a particular part of the body, but 1t
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutr1-
ment is destroyed by Indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d.
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at w. H. King Drug
Co.'s three Stores.

Protect Prohibition Territory.
IN. C. Baptist.)


The Legislature of North Carolina is
beginning to protect prohibition terri
tory by prohibiting the manufacture, and
in some instances, the importation OF
whiskey into prohibition territory. This
is right 1t makes more effective the
will of the people and stops the evil
work of the government distillery and
the jug business. Let the State cover
all prohibition territory with the law.
Congressman John H. Small of the
First North Carolina district, is seek
ing to get through Congress bill pro-
tecting prohibition territory from the dis
tillery and from government license to
either make or sell.
In a letter to the editor of the Baptist,
he says:
Il introduced again at this session my
bill intending TO prohibit the issuing of
license by the United States for the sale
or manufacture of whiskey in any terri
tory where the same is prohibited by the
law of any State. / have been before
the Ways and Means Committee, to
whom this bill was referred, twice, but
have not been able to obtain favorable
report l do not intend to abandon the
attempt. Wherever the people of any To-
cality have prohibited the sale and manu-
facture of liquor by a local option cleo
ton or in any other manner, it becomes
a law of the State applicable to the To-
cality and is entitled to be respected by
he United States"
Mr.. Small is right. He takes the prop
er view of States rights. Laws of this
character are purely local in their ma
tire and the United tSates ought not, for
the sake of revenue, to override the
wishes of any community, county OF
State, and force liquor upon them when
they have said they do not want it. We
want Mr.. Small 70 have the support OF
the prohibition people of this State in
his effort to have the State laws re-
spected by the United States government

TIE CoLORED FIREMEN.

The capital city has had in its borders
this week a splendid body of colored
men. those who in their different COM
munities are ever ready to respond in
dav or night when the alarm of fire" is
heard on the air.
The colored firemen of the State are
composed of some of it's very best col
ored citizens, and their conduct In Raj
eieh this week has been a practical
illustration of this. The police depart
ment has no word of complaint at mis-
behavior of any kind. The mayor of the
city compliments the firemen, and many
citizen who have seen them in their
tournament have spoken in high praise
of their conduct.
These facts are noted, simple in them
selves, but bearing great lesson. IL
is that the colored man, doing service
for the State, and striving within the
ranks of his own people for advancement
is thought we'll of, and is spoken well
of by his white neighbors. Here in the
South he will find his best friends, when
he deserves them, and it is by such eV-
emplary conduct as was shown in Raj
egh this week that he will add to the
real and genuine interest which is felt
for him.
The representatives from the various
colored fire departments of the State
who have been here this week can take
back to their homes as something better
than any prizes won, the kindly feeling
of the people of this city, which their
conduct here has won for them.

ENGLAND'S "PHYsIc GARDEN ~
A New Career of Usefulness for a Ven.
cradle Institution.
From the London Standard


The new laboratories in Chn.sea "Physic
Garden, which We're one. Il recently by
Lord Cadogan, mark the beginning of a
new career of usefulness for this vener-
able and half-forgotten institution. The
garden dates back as far as 1878 when the
Apothecaries' Company leased the ground
for the double purpose of cultivating
medicinal plants and collecting rare ex-
ottcs. Early in the eighteenth century Sir
Hans Sloane acquired the freehold and for
many years the garden continued to be in
some sort school of medicine and botany
Some of the first greenhouses known in
this country were erected there, and when
Evelyn visited it in 1853 he already found
in what he called the Apothecaries' Garden
of Simpes "a collection of innumera ble
rarities.''
The garden lies close to the river and tbe
fiat tops of the two great cedar trees pla MT
ed in 1888 have often caused the passenger
by steamboat to wonder what place it was
that he was gazing at. Sir Hans Sloane
himself was rather surprised that they
throve as well as they did, and thought
great praise was due TO Mr. Watts the
gardener The trees during their infancy
and youth, however had the benefit of nure
country air, for the garden then stood on
tirely free from London smoke and dirt
the effects of which are only too visible in
its present appearance. An ancient cork
tree is likewise to be seen in the grounds
but We know of no traditions connected
with it
