Tribute to the American Trained Nurse

DR.. Lorenz, the famous Austrian
bloodless surgeon who performed SO
many wonderful operations during a
recent visit to this country, stopped
in Berlin on his way home and talked
to the newspaper reporters of Amer
lea. One Of the most impressive and
agreeable things he said was this: Il
am making every effort in the hope
some day of seeing German trained
nurses the equal OF those in America.
The American trained nurse is GER
tainly ideal. | am afraid, though,
that at first, our people will not be-
lieve what | say of this body of as
sistants to medicine and health.
With us a trained nurse is a servant,
with you she is a lady, either a wo-
man or girl OF most excellent educa-
ton. | don't wonder SO many rich
gentlemen marry their nurses after
an acquaintance full OF sunshine,
healthfulness and mental improve
ment. We need the American trained
nurse as much as the new big hospital
now in the course of construction
here needs the glorious American i'm
provements, which | admired in diff
ferent parts OF that country. shall
work hard to obtain these improve
ments for the institute. | shall work
harder still to get nurses after the
American pattern. '-Richmond News

Haywood and nrs. Tucker Lived To.
gether in Nova Scotia.

Halifax, N. s, Dispatch. 18th, to Charlotte
Observer.
Ernest Haywood, a lawyer under
arrest at Raleigh, N. c., on the charge
Of numbering Ludlow Skinner, spent
last summer in Halifax with hand
some woman whom he said was his
wife. The party also included a col
ored servant and two children
While in Halifax the woman gave
birth to a child. DR.. Slayter was in
attendance. One day a letter came
to the house addressed to Mrs. Tuck
er and the woman explained to the
owner of the house who happened to
be present that her first husband was
named Tucker. Haywood apparent
ly was very Jealous of the woman
They spent lots of money, and checks
were always drawn in the name of
Mrs. Tucker. The latter stated that
she met Haywood through his being
lawyer engaged to settle the estate
of her deceased husband. She and
Haywood came to Halifax apparent
ly from Raleigh.
During periodical visits to Raleigh,
Haywood represented to Mrs. Tuck
er's sister that he did not marry Mrs.
Tucker and knew nothing of her
They nevertheless rented a furnished
rooms in Halifax and lived as man
and wife, as Mr. and Mrs Haywood.
They did not leave Halifax until fall
They took the infant with them, but
it is understood it disappeared before
Haywood returned to Raleigh. Hay
wood stated while in Halifax that he
and Mrs. Tucker were married in
Montreal.

Plain Talk About PdrdOns.

1t will not be many months before
the Governor will be besieged with
applications asking for the pardon of
Bishop, but if he grants pardon in
this case he should be kicked out of
office-Durham Herald.
Governor Aycock has less than two
years to serve and it would not sur
prise US if he pardons Bishop before
he goes out of office We would not
do the Governor an injustice and it
may not be fair to make this fore
cast, but his past record in the par
doning line is the basis OF the predic-
tion. Ii Judge Neal thought Bishop
deserved only five years it is not un-
reasonable to assume that the Gov
ernor may think a year or Is months
suffieient.-Statesville Landmark.
We submit that these gentlemen
are not justified in making the above
criticisms on Gov. Aycock Nobody
has asked for pardon for Bishop.
and until that is done there is no
necessity OF taking up the case. Ii
Bishop asks to be pardoned, we think
Gov Aycock will do in his case, what
he has done in all Others which he
has passed upon-what he thought
was right and just and warranted by
thefacts and circumstances.-R

Rice as a Food.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
The following may furnish a tale to
be adorned by proper energy on the
part of some North Carolina farmers.
We copy from an exchanges:
Chicago has taken up a new Amer
ican-g grown cereal, and i'll a manner
that bids fair to call widespread at
tention to the recent rapid develop
ment of another infant industry in
the Southwestern States Over4 900
people are daily fed in the lately es-
tablished rice kitchen located in one
OF Chicago's big department stores,
where food is prepared exclusively
from Texas and Louisiana rice, in
two hundred different ways. The
novelty of the exhibit has succeeded
in attracting considerable notice, for
American rice in all stages is shown
from the rough, brownish-yellow
grain to the smoking hot food pre-
pared, all embracing an unique eX
position of the staple product of the
wonderfully developing rice country
of Louisiana and Texas"
There is more nutriment in rice
than in any other cereal, and large
proportion OF the human race subsist
entirely upon it, The great variety
of other foodstuffs within the reach
OF our people and a generalignorance
Of the proper way to prepare rice no
doubt has much to do with it's lack
Of popularity in this country. The
rapid development Of rice-growing
10 ,,Ie, -, FTo~or opI 7 D,,ic;aro
it incumbent in order that it's culti-
vation may become profitable, to
popularize it's use as daily dish, and
properly prepared it is not only most
healthful but palatable. Hence these
''rice kitchens" in various centers of
population.
There are sections in this State
which are as we'll adapted to rice cul-
ture as any in Louisiana or Texas.
Before the war it was a staple prod
uct on plantations below Whining
ton, and during Governor Russell's
administration the only profitable
farming the penitentiary manage
ment experienced was that of rice
culture on a farm in Brunswick coun-
ty. Governor Russell informed us
that there were some thousands of
acres in that section which could only
be used in rice culture, and with
proper management it would be very
profitable.
The use of this cereal must increase
as the years roll by, and its culture
offers an opportunity for an addi
tional source of income to our people.
There are rice mills in Goldsboro Of
fering to take every pound raised at
fair price, but its supply so far as
this State is concerned is very far be-
low the demand, dependence being
upon other states. These mills make
a ''rice fake which is as easy of
preparation as "cambric tea and
simply delicious as well as nutritious
and cheap.
There is no danger of raising more
rice than the world will need or take,
and as its culture involves lands
and water-not available for other
products that which our old State
possesses should be put to work. "

Pritchard and the Press.
Concord Tribune.

Concord Tribune.
The Hickory Tmes-lNercury, under
the heading Senator Pritchard a
Great Man," says: A great number
OF Democratic papers have a great
many good things to say about Sen
atOr Pritchard now after his term in
the Senate has expired. They hadn't
the justice in their hearts to say so
before. In fact, what they have said
since gives the lie to much they said
before-Asheville Gazette.
We never thought Mr. Pritchard
'great man. do not yet SO consider
him, but this is one Democratic pa
per that has always recognized and
appreciated his worth as a true, pa
triotic North Carolinian, fully believ-
ing in Republican principles and ever
faithful to the best interests OF the
State. We do not think the Demo-
cratic papers of the State have said
too much about Mr.. Pritchard now
that he is out of the Senate, Or more
than they granted before his defeat.
The fact that the press of the oppo-
sition party speaks we'll of Mr.. Pritch-
ard as Senator does not give the lie
to what was previously said, for, as
far as we know, no Democratic paper
ever abused the gentleman but fought
him as a Republican, entertaining all
the while great personal respect for
him and all along expressing much
confidence i'll him as a man and citi-
zen. MIR. Pritchard has many warm
friends i'll the State who oppose him
politically but are fond of him per-
sOnally. If Mr. Pritchard had been a
great man he would be in the Senate
yet. He could not have been defeat
ed any more than Vance, who was a
great man could have been. The ring
Of sincerity is distinct in everything
said about Mr.. Pritchard since his
defeat and is in harmony with the
tone of the Democratic press before
his defeat. Get more Pritchards in
the party in North Carolina and see
the stock advance, but the ex-Sena-
tor is not great enough himself to
accomplish this.

Advertising a Town
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

A North Carolina town at the re-
cent session of the Legislature secured
the passage of an act permitting it
to levy a special tax for the purpose
of raising money with which to ad-
vertise its resources and advantages.
We venture the prediction that the
citizens of that town are ''hustlers'
and that the experiment pays.
Though the fact is too apt to be
overlooked, there are constantly
thousands of men looking for busi-
ness opportunities. Ii a town wants
new industry and really offers ad-
vantages for its establishment, there
is always a man ready and eager to
establish it. The only thing necessary
is to bring the man and the opportu-
nifty together Opportunities to make
money never go a-begging when they
are known to the world.
But the opportunity and the man
cannot be brought together by stand
ing on street corners and wondering
why somebody doesn't come along
and establish a cotton mill or fur
niture factory or harness a waterfall
and turn its power into electricity.
There is somewhere a man who is
anxious to do that very thing, per-
haps, but he cannot be reached by
mental telepathy. Sometimes he
comes and stumbles over the oppor-
tunity of his own motion but more
often he has to be found by the COM
munity that is interested.
The best way in the world to find
this man is to advertise for him,
wisely and iudiciously. And town
with advantages to offer can make
no better or more legitimate invest
ment than in the right kind of adver-
tising. For the very fact that it is
composed of people who are not con-
tent to vegetate constitutes a power
fu, appeal to the man who is looking
for a business opportunity. He in
fers, and rightly, that here is peo-
pie he need not fear to cast his lot

A Terrible Tax.
Says a writer on the subject of

Says a writer on the subject of
good roads:
The cost of bad roads to the peo-
pie OF this country, especially the
farmers, is SO enormous that it is
doubtful whether any adequate esti-
mate of it has ever been made.
Those who have made a long and
laborious study of the subject. how
ever, have reached conclusions that
are very impressive and suggestive.
The best authorities place the aver
age haul of the American farmer in
getting his produce to market, or to
the nearest station at twelve miles.
The average cost per ton for hauling
over the country roads is S3 for a
twelve mile haul, or % cents per ton
per mile.
The total number of tons hauled
per year by the farmers of this coun-
try is estimated at 300, 900, 900,
which makes the cost of getting the
surplus farm products of this coun-
try to the railroad station Or the
local markets no less than $780,
OOO,0 900 every year. or more than
the national debt. This amount also
exceeds the total operating expenses
of all the railroads in the United
States. 1t is Il surprising statement
that it costs more to get the farm
products OF the country from the
fields where they grow to the points
where they enter the distributingsys-

railway system of the Tinted States
Which comprises one-half of the total
railway mileage of the world Ii the
people of the United States could be
brought to understand Just what bad
roads mean they would reduce the
enormous tax that is thus levied
They could do it by improving the
highways and neighhorhood roads
that lead from the great channels Of
trade to the farmers. They are be-
ginning to understand the difference
between good roads and bad ones
and the result is to be seen in the re-
markable betterment of roads in all
parts of the country within the past
ten years.
This good work is the best possible
evidence of the advance in the mate

1t would be no surprise to us to see
the American Tobacco Company act
ually conducting their farms, and
producing the tobacco necessary to
supply the demand for leaf tobacco.
In South Georgia and in Florida
there are vast bodies of land with the
timber all cleared off, and while the
land is fertile, well suited to almost
any crop, yet there is no labor to
work it. If some one with plenty Of
capital should purchase these lands
and cultivate them in a systematic
way, it would prove the finest sort OF
investment. This is in line with the
policy of trusts The iron and steel

Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most inn
portant of these needed clements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world - only one or two un-
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
BY far the most generally useful
prescription We know of is Ninol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful il has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Emol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, etc, and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
help you.
