ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR
Hundreds of Raleigh Citi-
ZenS Can Tell You All
About 1t.

Home endorsement, the public express
sion of Raleigh people, should be evidence
beyond dispute for every Raleigh reader.
Surely the experience of friends and
neighbors, cheerfully given by them, will
carry more weight than the utterances of
strangers residing in far-away places.
Read the following:
Mrs. NJ. N. Goodwin, of 224 East Martin
street, says: my back was in an awful
condition for d long time. 1t ached al
most constantly and 1 had sort of hot
flashing feeling which run down my limbs
almost as if hot water was poured down
them. Reading about Doan's Kidney
Pills in our local papers 1 went to the
Bobbitt Wynne Drug Company's store and
got a box. Since using them my back
has not hurt me and 1 have been better
IN every way They certainly were
prompt and beneficial in my case"

Especial to News and Observer)
Fayetteville, N. c., Jan. 21.-Today a
man walked into the store of Mr.. j. Sam
Maultsby and paid him $500. the bal
ance of an account contracted just TWEEN
ty years ago. A poor farmer, with a
large family, he bad not been able TO lay
it until now, but he had always kept it
in mind, and now with cotton at IA
cents he had been able to work out so
he came in and had Mr.. Mauts5y TO looE
up his cid books, and paid him the money
and then returned home with full re
ceipt and light heart.
Some Others with better opportunities
than this poor man, might help them
selves in the estimation of their fellows
by following his example.

Railway Earnings Show

The Expanding Demand, However, is
Not Yet Felt to Any Extent at

Scarcity in Cotton
Goods.
Goods.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, JAM 22-R G. Dun and
Companys weekly Review of Trade will
say:
weather conditions have furnished
the chief influences in the general trade
situation. To some extent traffic has been
hindered, especially at the East, but the
latest returns of railway earnings for
January show an in rush of 39 per cent
over 1903. Consumption of fuel was in
creased and retail trade in coal greatly
expanded, but no commensurate gain at
first hands is reported owing to the
large supplies held by dealers. Retail
distribution of footwear and heavy wear
ing apparel felt the stimulus and an
Eual clearance sales removed accumula-
items of dry goods, millinery, etc. Whole
sale business is fairly active, travelling
statesmen sending in about average orders
and jobbing trade is normal.
''Of scarcely less interest than tho
abnormal price of raw cotton is the situa-
lions as to the size of stocks Of manu-
featured goods. Much depends on the
revival of purchasing, thus far very
limited amount of new business being Of
feIed. There seems to be no uncertainty
regarding the scarcity in first hands
for there is delay in filing the few con-
tracts rendered.
Failures this week numbered 355
against 265 last year.
