CARELESS MOTHERS
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH
SUFFERING.


One of tho Exceptions.
Three-fourths of the women who are
suffering could truthfully shy that their
mothers are to blame for their trouble.
Perhaps, the proportion is even greater.
How grateful then must be the woman
whose prudent mother brought her
safely through the critical period of her
girlhood, guarded her health and fitted
her for perfect womanhood. Such was
the case with Mrs. A. l.. Luckie, Of 4l9
Underwood avenue, st. Charles, Mo.
She says:

MAYOR POWELL RENoMIMATED

Last night the Democratic City Con-
vention settled the hard fought contest
for mayor by the denomination of Mr..
A. M. Powell who has already served
the city two terms. The Convention was
a good natured one from start to finish
and adjourned in the best humor after the
nomination of Mayor Powell had been
made by reclamation.
Mr. Powell is one of the truest Demo-
Gratis in the State, an honorable gentle
man of the highest character, clean in
his private life, honest in his public lie.
There Is no man who knows SANDY"
Powell who does not know he is man

Messrs. Wynne and Stronach, who
competed with Mayor Powell for the
honor, had strong support and have
every reason to be gratified that their

Both of them and all their friends will

Powell and the whole Democratic ticket.

Reidsville. n. c., March S0.-The latest
industry at Spray, this county, is the
Garment Manufacturing Company. In
the factory over 100 ladies preside over
power-driven sewing machines, turn
ing out ladies garments of al
most every variety. Among them
are very handsomely finished kim
onas, pyjamas, night-gowns, skirts
and aprons, many of them beautifully
embroidered Two experienced tailors
have recently been installed in this dc
partment, who are expert cutters and
have a perfect knowledge of their bust
ness Very fine and speedy sewing ma
chimes have been provided some Of which
make $500 stitches a minute. Spray is
destined to become the leading manufac-
turing town in North Carolina.

pany
The tobacco warehouses here have had
large volume of business this year-the
greatest in the history of the town. The
market was never represented by so
many buyers. and the prices paid for the
weed have averaged very high. The fac
tories are shipping tobacco as fast as
it is manufactured and many of them
are forced to work night forces. There
never was such demand for smoking
tobacco as is now, while chewing tobacco
from this place always sells just as rap
lilly as it is made The weed raised in this
section it is CLAIMED, is the finest in the
world for both chewing and cigarette
purposes, but very little cigar tobacco
is raised At present there is only one
cigar factory in town, and for that rea
son, possibly the farmers do not plant
so much for that purpose. The proprie-
tors of some of the factories state that
the girls are proving excellent laborers.
Mr. Jonathan Robinson is making pre-
parations to begin the erection Of COM

The building will be constructed on an

thirty rooms The site selected is ideal,
situated between the Piedmont Hotel and
the old Barnes factory. Mr.. Robinson
will begin the erection of the hotel in
few days and he expects to have it open
for the public in a few months The
hotel will fill a long-felt want here, the
present facilities having been very poor
heretofore.

Among the Railroads.

The trend of railroad building in the
South at the present time is toward the
Gulf of Mexico. and also toward Bir-
mingham, the center of the great min
eral district of Alabama. There are no
signs of a lessening demand for trans
portation facilities to one or another of
the Gulf ports, and it has also become
matter of necessity for the railroad
systems in that section to enter Biz
mingham. A glance over the situation
shows that rapid progress is being made
by those lines which have already be-
gun construction, and in addition to
these, there are several new corporations
which promise to be of considerable mag
observation-disclosures Record

A special from Manchester, N. H, to
the Atlanta Constitution, says: 1T is
stated here on good authority that the
Stark mills are to be removed south,
probably to some point in Alabama, owing
to the constant agitation among the
workers in the mills and the constantly
increasing demands of the labor unions.
The mills employ ! 100 hands with a
weekly payroll of 1000. The owners
of the Stark mills are not the only one.
who are considering the advsability of
escaping the exactions of the labor
unions by going South, and in well in
formed mill circles, it is said that a
general movement in this direction is
not at all unlikely in the near future"
