SISTERS TRICK
But All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend
is an interesting tale:
81 was a coffee fiend-a trembling.
nervous, physical wreck yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength because for u fleeing mo-
ment it stimulated my weakened
powers. l Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
lone day my sister Mrs. U. S.
Showalter, substituted cup Of crisp,
hot Postum for my morning cup OF
coffee but did not tell me what it
was. / noticed the richness of it and
remarked that the coffee tasted fine
but my sister did not tell me / was
drinking Postum for fear l might not
take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept Civ
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
/ grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening, life-saver she had
given me in place of my morning cof-
fee From that time / became a
disciple of Postum and no words can
do justice to the good this cereal
drink can do. / will not try to tel
il for only after having used it can
one be convinced of its merits" Name

words welcomed the delegates to the
hearts and homes of Raleigh.
Miss Horner read a letter from
Bishop Horner, of the Missionary
district of Asheville, regretting his u
ability to be present and thanking the
auxiliary for $276.55, contributed by
the various branches of the Woman S
Auxiliary.
Archdeacon IIughsOn.
Then Archdeacon Hughsou, of Nor
canton, addressed the meeting.
Mr.. Hughson spoke of the great diff
ficulty of the work in the western part
OF North Carolina, on account of the
terrible illiteracy in the western coun-
ties Those people were undoubtedly
the most ignorant in the whole coun-
try. From thirty to forty white per-
sons out of every hundred We're en-
tirely illiterate. Practically every
church was a mission and every cler-
gyman a missionary.
Women were going out from Nor
canton and working alone in some
districts in that western country, ard
at certain seasons when the roads
were impossible, they were entirely
cut off from the rest of the world.
But the people among whom they
worked always treated them splendid
ly and were intensely interested in
the work. The speaker said he did
not believe this system was right
because of the depression incident
upon giving all the time and receiving
nothing, having no one congenial to
associate with.
Mr.. Hughson spoke of the help
given by the Woman's Auxiliary to
the missionary work in those wes-
tern counties.
He talked very interestingly of the
school at Valla Crucus, and told of
the great work being done there.
They had a big chicken ranch there,
which Mr.. Harding had said would
before long support the whole school.
OF course that was conservative
statement like most chicken experts
make.
10 illustrate the good work done
by these little schools in the noun
tains, Mr.. Hughson told of an eXper-
fence of his. A poor woman had sent

ton. some of our apparently pros
porous bankers and money loaners
certifying themselves to be in
very INDECENT circumstances, with
an income so small as TO suggest
the idea that their affairs are in a
very bad condition. Among the
1851 voters of this county only l76,
or per cent. have incomes over
5000 per annum, 2,505 voters paying
no income tax. The aggregate in

Somebody was hit by the list of
incomes which we published yes
terday. We have heard that his
name was Mr.. Legion. He didn't
think-there was a mistake he
hadn t made the computation care
fully-didn't know that it was 60
ing to be published or he might
have made it little different. And
that is what occasioned the abrasion
of the skin. Letters of coincidence
have been written to some of our

pie, and in some instances sub
scription papers were circulated.
Our predictions are being veri-
fed. Another draft is at hand.
Again and again we have shown
that if Lincoln was reelected we
should have draft upon draft until
nearly all the able bodied popula-
tion were swept into the army, and
that under the policy of absolute
subjugation the rebellion would not
then be ended. The last draft of
500, 900 men was dismal failure.
Scarcely one fourth of that number
was secured barely sufficient to
compensate for the disabilities and
casualties of the great campaign.
It now appears, according to the
administration organs, that Grant
has been lying idle before Rich
mond for the last six months, thru
the lack of reinforcements, and this
is the first intimation of the fact
that the country has received. It
behooves every town in the state to
take warning and be prepared to
furnish all the men required at no
very distant date.
