NEUROLOGICAL.
MISS OLGA NOEL WINSTON.

"Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced bird is fown
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gonel
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair,
AS when winters snowy pinions,
Shake the white down in the air.
But, it is true and will ever so
remain while time lasts.
There were but few people who
knew Mise Olga Noel Winston
who realized just how much they
loved her and what sorrow her
death would bring to them and
to her devoted parents and family
until the announcement was
made that her spirit had taken
it's departure to the God who
gave it, at two O'Clock Tuesday
morning.
Miss Winston was a youn g
woman beautiful in appearance,
cultured and refined and the pos
SCISSOR of other charms which
made her admired and loved by
all who knew her. She had just
reached that age in life when
every thing looked beautiful and
bright to her, and she was am
bilious to be self supporting.
Several weeks ago she was
taken i'll at the home of her par
ents, Capt. and Mrs. Isaac Win
ston, near Starkvllle. When she
had been sick several days her
physician discovered stron g
symptoms Of appendicitis and ad-

vised that she be brought to Co
lumbus for further examination.
This was done and she was placed
in the Hospital. The examina-
ton there showed that the first
diagnosis was correct and that in
addition there were other serious
complications. An operation was
necessary and it was performed
last Thursday. For thirty six
hours she appeared to be getting
along alright but on Saturday
unfavorable symptoms appeared
and from that time she became
gradually worse until death reliev-
ed her as stat ed in the foregoing.
The devotion and constant at
tention and care bestowed upon
her by the physicians and her
nurse while in the Hospital was
the subject of much favorable
comment by all familiar with the
case and her death brought sor-
row into that institution as we'll
as into her home and the homes
of those who knew her best.
Her death was indeed sad
one but her devoted family have
the consolation of knowing that
every thing possible was done to
save her and they should take it
as the will of God.

ESTIMATE TOO HIGH?

The Carolina Fruit and Trucker s
Journal, published at Wilmington,
paper nearest to the growers which is
devoted to the strawberry and vege-
table industry, has made careful in
vestigation of the shortage and con-
cludes it's article thus:
"All reports that the farmers have
lost a million dollars on strawberries
or even half a million dollars this
year is entirely gratuitous and with
out foundation. Losses have been in
CURED. we are willing to concede, but
three-fourths of the losses this season
will have to be made good by the
transportation and refrigerator COM
panies as the result of a lack of care
i'm which to move the berries. That
being true the growers will come off
light and by reason of the increased
output this year over last, the crop
of 1905 should yield the farmers
quite as much money as that of 1904.
OF course little time will be required
to even up things and arrive at a
fair and equitable adjustment, but in
the end no fears need be en-
tertained as to the final result. Our
people are equal to every emergency
and will rise superior to the unfor-
tunate disaster of 1906"

was omitted. He was captain of it in

and a very faithful soldier | went to
school with him two years at Love-

fine boy and Wordsworth says, the
boy is father to the man." His
brother Joseph was a captain of caval-

1812-14 and died in the service. In

wisdom of negro education. these rail-
road attorneys pretended to attack it
only on the ground that they were op-
posed to the education of "niggers."
but they opposed it just as much in
white communities as in communities
where the negro got some portion OF
the fund. About the same time a GER
tain newspaper that belongs to the rail-
road, got it's orders from "HIGHER
UP" and it began to demand changed
and better educational policy. and to
throw cold water upon the rapid pro-
gress that was being made. These
subsidized lawyers and editors at the
same time howled for bonds for
everything in order to enable the rail-
roads to escape taxation. Do you see
Within six years the railroad property
has been nearly doubled for taxation.
If the clamor for bonds had succeeded.
the railroads might still prevent the
increase which must be made to assess
them at their true value in money at
this next assessment.
The General Assembly has made GER
tain exceptions to the law against free
masses. In addition to being permitted
to give passes to paupers and certain
other classes, they may be given to the
State Geologist and men employed on
the Geological survey and to the State
superintendent of Schools. The pass
for the State superintendent of Schools
was effective by his earnest speeches
in getting many districts to vote a
local tax. OF course that imposed an
additional tax on the railroads, and
they didn't like it, and some of the
subordinate officials said they did not
see any reason why the railroads
should transport the State Superin-
tendent of Schools about the State TO
increase the tax on them. or course.
the higher officials who declined to
reissue the passes did not give that
reason. They rarely give the real rea-
son. But it was plain. Mr. Joyner
cares nothing about the matter, as 1t
did not personally concern him. If the
State permitted the acceptance of the
pass he accepted it with no iota of
personal obligations to the railroads.
1t is better that the State should pay
his way, but if he had not been ag-
gressive in fighting for local tax, who
believes the pass would have been
withdrawn?
AS to the matter of giving tracks to
a man who served on a jury, who had
therefore been able to get it. and the
whole raft of special instances of graft
that our correspondent touches upon.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
