ADVERTISE THE PLAINS.

The following communication
from {. R. Gober, clipped from the
Hale Center Messenger is such a
worthy appeal for the development
of our country by the present meth
DDS at hand-chief among which is
the medium of adyertiSing-that
we deem it worthy of reproduction.
He says:
To people of Hale Center and
surrounding communities; The
time has come for a great co-opera-
tive movement in advertising our
country and keeping up with the
procession and aiding and fostering
civilization.
There can be no greater charac-
ter developed in man than love for
his fellow man and to aid and as
sist him in securing a place which
he can call home where it is posi-
ble TO beautify it at a minimum
cost, till it will equal in grandeur
the home OF the millionaire. Our
shallow water with abundant wind
to run windmillS of large pumping
capacity and our rich alluVial soil
adapted to grow almost any kind
of trees, both fruit bearing and or
namental, all kinds of shrubbery,
make it the ideal spot Of these IN
tied States for home-making. Then
shall we be SO selfish as to try to
deprive the millions OF people who
are in search of a home, some large
and some small, the right of citizen
ship with US, for and in preference
of a few balfaced cattle and bush
tailed ponies of which to support
one man and family requires from
to 8 sections OF land that would
make 8 to 10 good homes. 1t would
bring class Of orchardiStS, truck
farmers and gardeners into our
midst that would develop the coun-
try and astoniSh you with the pos
sibilitieS Of its productivenesS, then
when railroads see your enterpriS-
ing disposition to develop your
county and country they will be-
come interested and you will have
all the railroads you want and that
at once, for it is an old maxim and
a true one THAT people are always
ready to help him who helps him
self. =" Il is my honest conviction
that if the people will rise up i'll
their might and with the means and
advertise this country as it should
be that you will see the greatest
emigration to this country of any
country and you will see houses on
every quarter section, towns spring
up as by magic and in less than
ten years you will see a network
Of electric railways by which you
tau find ac<nmodatlonS for travel

that will equal any part of this
country. Now all this can be &C.
complished only one way and that
is through cooperation. Let every
man put his shoulder to the wheel
and his pocket book to the tongue
and say, by the help of God will
do all that is in my power that is
honorable and right to develop my
country and to change it from a
COW ranch to densely populated.
thrifty and progressive country,
that we may have larger and bet

The Presidents Stupid BIunder.


Richmond Times Dispatch.
President Roosevelt insists upon
giving the negro political and social
recognition. 1t is his high privi-
legc to do this and nobody can pre-
vent hi IN. But however conscientious
he may be he is making Il stupid
blunder, and ii he keeps it up he is
going to get the black man more
and more into trouble. Every time
he brings the negro into prominence,
either politically or socially, he
nrouses the race instincts OF the
whites, and the President should
have discovered before this that race
instinct is not a matter of section
1t is as broad us the United States;
it is as broad as the world; it exists
wherever there are white men, and
while it may be dormant in sections
where the blacks are few, it is sure
to assert itself in any community,
either in the South or in the North,
where the negroes exist i'll any CON
siderable numbers. This is "a law OF
nature and the President may as
well fly i'll the face of any other law
OF nature and hope to succeed in
abOlishin% it. 1t is an impossibility
and every practical man must know
it.

DRAGGED IN THE TIRE OF POLL
TICS,
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
On the subject OF the intention of
President Roosevelt and some Others
in the North to place the negro upon
an equality with the white people po-
litically and socially, which it great
ly deplores for the sake of the negro
as we'll as for white people, the Man
ufacturers' Record has the following
to say:
1.-The pity of President Rooseyelt's
attempt to reverse the judgment of
the Intelligence of the country about
the negro is that the negro will be
the chief sufferer. For President
Roosevelt has dragged into the mire
of politics the greatest bane of the
negro. Booker Washington. who, it
was thought, would in avoiding that
mire, become the leader of his race
back to the right starting point. 1t
is of little moment that embarrass-
ments may have thus been induced
for Booker Washington's associates
in the Southern education scheme of
those involved in the 'child-labor'
agitation. But the true friends OF
Booker Washington will be sorry
that he has been unwittingly led into
a disappointment OF their hopes for
his race through him"

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best of Health"
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of Our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O,Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
| greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
| tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. 1 had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
| the advertised medicines without deriving any
| good results. was also treated by several OF
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
| that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. l was indeed in critical condi-
ton. 1 could not 60 from the house alone,
as l was liable to sudden collapse. l tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. l could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomt, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
After the regular use of Paine's Celery
| Compound for time, am now in the best Of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
| Celery Compound.''

THIS is A NEW IDEA.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark
A prominent citizen of Statesville,
in conversation with the Landmark
a few days ago, suggested that mas
much as the State, the counties and
the towns were all casting about for
additional sources of revenue, that
the Legislature should levy tax on
investments in life insurance, just as
other investments are taxed. Much
money is invested and more is being
invested daily in life insurance poll
cies, and the gentleman named insists
that this form of investment should
be taxed just as bank stock and
other holdings of like kind are taxed.
The idea is new one but on the face
OF it there is no apparent reason why
this tax should not be levied, and we
pass the idea to the finance commit
tee of Legislature.

GRAIN CROPS OF THE SOUTH.

The Southern Farm Magazine of
Baltimore has compiled from official
reports ofthe Government the Stats
tics of grain crops of the South in
1902. The total values are as fol-
lows:
Bushels. Value
Corn............... 500. 4s7 500 1916 $50, 1894
Wheat 4S,S72127 3S,O69,619
Oats............. 56,17s,9 72 26,252,265
In addition to grain the South
raised p 1897 $50 bushels of Irish
potatoes, valued at $14, JIG, 169;
3,9O5.423 tons of hay, valued at
SIG, 734, 7O6, and $50, $685.
pounds of tobacco, valued at $685.
S43,O25. The total for these three
items added to the total for grain
makes $466, 545,1 1872, or approx
mately, about one half of the total
value of the agricultural products of
the South. In this report no mention
is made OF the cotton crop, OF sweet
pOtatoes-the yield of which in the
South is much larger than the yield
OF Irish potatoes-of sugar, rice and
fruit crops. These figures show that
the grain crop of the South-corn,
wheat. oats and rye-is about the
same in value as an average cotton
crop, but the growth of diversified
farming in the South promises within
a few Years to make the value OF
these crops much larger than that OF
cotton.

The difference in the tone of the ne
GrOes North and South Ofthe Mason
Dixon line is notable 1t is fact
that the South can easily do without
the element which is leaving this sec
ton and seeking Northern homes.
There are some good negroes among
them, but the majority of them are
not worthy ola home among civilized
people. The negro meeting called for
Birmingham, Ala, in May is prompt
ed by n feeling which is prevalent
among the masses of Southern ne
groes. At this meeting they intend
to announce the exact position and
feeling of the negro toward the
Southern whites. They will pass
resolutions declaring the Southern

Divorce Too Common.



Senator London was doing the
country a service when he raised his
voice against anything that would
tend to loosen the marriage tie. The
Roman Catholics have some mighty
sound views on the marriage ques-
ton. If every church had taken the
stand on the inviolability of mar
rage that that church has taken,
conditions, in the opinion of many at
least, would be far better than they
are. Divorces are entirely too COM
mon and they will grow more frequent
as matter of course just in proper
ton to the ease with which they can
be obtained Marital troubles usu-
ally can be cured il it is IL case OF ne
cessity to cure them.

CONCERNING LEE S. OVERMAN


1ialeigh lines
In connection with the election of
Hon. Lee S. Overman as Senator sew
eral significant things are recalled
First, both Senator Simmons and
Senator Overman are graduates of
Trinity College. Second, Salisbury
has both IL member of the National
House, Congressman Klutzz, and a
Senator, Mr.. Ovcrman. Third, Mr..
Overman has been first defeated and
afterwards elected to both high offices
that he has aspired to. When the
Democratic caucus named him for
Speaker of the House in 1885 com
bination of Republicans and indie
pendents elected Mr. John r. Webster
Speaker over him. Mr.. Webster is
now a Democrat. He came to Raj
eigh and strenuously opposed Mr.
Overman' election to the Senate
this time. In 1895 Mr.. Overman was
nominated by the Democratic caucus
to succeed Senator Vance, but a COM
bination of Republicans and Popu-
lists elected Senator Pritchard.
Fourth, both the North Carolina
Senators will be among the youngest
men in that body. Both were mere
nfants during the Civil War.
