IS 1T AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming In.
crease In an Already Prevailing
Dlsease-Are Any Exempt

At no time in the history of dis
ease-has there been such an alarming
increase in the number of cases of
any particular malady as in that of
kidney and bladder troubles now
preying upon the people of this
country.
To-day we see a relative, a friend
or an acquaintance apparently we'll,
and in a few days we may be grieved
to learn of their serious illness or
sudden death, caused by hat fatal
type of kidney trouble-Bright's
Disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes adj
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of its presence;
that is why we read so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and
professional men, physicians and 9TH
ers. They have neglected to stop the
leak in time.
While scientists r puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each
Individual can, by a little p"recaution,
avoid the chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trou-
bic, or eradicate it completely from
their system if already afflicted.
Many precious lives might have been,
and many more can yet be saved,
by paying attention to the kidneys.
It is the mission of the Raleigh
Progressive Farmer to benefit its
readers at every opportunity and
therefore we advise all who have any
symptoms of kidney or bladder trou-
bic to write to-day to DR.. Kilmer &
Co.. Binghamton, n. Y. for a free
sample bottle of Swamp-Root, the
celebrated specific which is having
such a great demand and remarkable
success in the cure of the most dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles.
With the sample bottle of Swamp
Root will also be sent free a pamph-
let and treatise of valuable informa-
ton.
Don't make any mistake. but re-
member the name, Samp-Root, DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the adj
dress, Binghamton, n. Y, on every
bottle.

STARTLING EVIDENCE.

serves as example. He writes: "I
had Bronchitis for three years and
doctored all the time without being

we desired, but we were able to save
some who would have succumbed if
left till morning. Gas was used in
the larger towns, but not in the
country. Kerosene was generally
used in the last third of the century
in towns. And for the last fifteen
years electricity was the great light
used in towns and places of much
wealth. There has been wonderful
improvement in lights in the last
sixty years.

Washington, D. @. The light was
also good enough for the mother to
sew, spin and reel yarn or thread
from breaches, and the children tc
get their lessons for the next day al
school.
The civilization of sixty years age
was far behind the present in many
respects, but it was suited to the age
in which they lived.
Lights we're a prime necessity in
every family; and while fire light, OF
the light from rich pine, answered
most purposes in the winter season
in warm weather it was not agreea-
BILE; consequently our good women
turned their attention to making
candles.
CANDLE MAKING.
The process is now obsolete. Sixty
years ago candle moulds had not
found a place in North Carolina. But
nevertheless candles were used un-
der the name of "tallow dip" A
qauntity of tallow was melted in a
large mouthed pot, or large kettle,
and from ten to thirty wicEs placed
on a cane. The housewife would then
dip them in the melted tallow, and
hold them up till they quit dripping
then hang on a scaffold till cold;
while they were cooling quite a num-
Der of others could be dipped. Then
dip them over. again, until the can
dies are as large as wanted. From
twenty-five to thirty dozen are done
in this way, or enough to last a fam
lily for twelve months. This was prac-
ticed by every one in the fall of the
year.
From 1850, candle molds, made
of tin we're in common use; they
would hold from three to t~hirty-six.
A cane was run through the loop of
the wick, and the wick knotted at the
little end of the mOlds. After the
tallOw became cold in the molds, if
the weather was very cold, the molds
were warmed in the blaze, and the
candles were drawn out. 1t was nee
essary now to have candlesticks the
proper size to hold the candle. The
candle sticks we're made of iron,
brass or silver. And pair of snuff
fers was laid by the side of each can
die stick to trim each wick as it was
reduced to ashes.
LIGHTS IN WAR TIMES.
Tn 1855-1866, kerosene first was
brought into our markets, and sold
for seventy-fve cents per gallon. 1t
was too high-priced to come into gen
eral use. The War Between the
States now came on, and there was
no improvement in lights for several
a The soldiers often had a
"wick" for a candle, or torch, made
of a cotton string as big as a goose
quill, dipped in a mixture of bees
wax, rosin and tallow, stretched on
chairs till If would dry. Probably

ROADS.

Our law abiding people were forced
to do something with the Iawbreak-
crs: We had no penitentiary to pun
iSh them in. and our late enemies had
forbidden the whipping post, the
stocks and pilIory and branding iron;
and it became necessary to improvise
a "chain gang" and work the streets
of the town and the public roads of
the county. At first some of our peo-
pie We're opposed to this plan, but in
a few years it was endorsed by all,
and the county authorities were
urged to prosecute the work with
greater vigor by borrowing money
and hiring extra labor. The county
now has more than one hundred miles
completed, and is acknowledgement
of throughout the United States. On
these roads two mules can pull all
that am ordinary wagon can hold up.
From twelve to fifteen miles of road
are made in a year, the "chain-gang'
consisting of about seventy-fve con-

well, and at the same time inficts a
