AN EASY WAY
To Keep Wen.

1t is easy to keep well if we would
only observe each day few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right, and to do this is
not necessary to diet or to follow set
rule or bill of fare. Such pampering
simply makes a capricious appetite
and a feeling that certain favorite ar
ticles of food much be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject; he says: i
am 6S years old and have never had
a serious illness, and at the same time
my life has been largely an indoor
one, but / early discovered that the
way to keep healthy was to keep
healthy stomach, not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on
the contrary always eat what my APP
petite Graves, but daily for the past
eight years | have made it a practice
to take one or two of Stuart'S Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal and l
attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular daily use of
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were per-
fectly harmless and were not a secret
patent medicine, but contained only
the natural digestive, peptones and
diastase, and after using them a few
weeks l have never ceased to thank
him for his advice.
/ honestly believe the habit of taxi
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals is the real health habit, because
their use brings health to the sick
and ailing and preserves health to the
we'll and strong
Men and women past fifty years of
age need a safe digestive after meals
to insure a perfect, digestion and to
ward off disease, and the safest, best
known and most widely used is Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine to- Cali
fornia and in Great Britain and Aus
tralia are rapidly pushing their way
into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets full sized packages at SO cts,
and for a weak stomach a fifty cent
package will often do fifty dollars
worth of good

AS TO IMMIGRATION.

Governor Glenn is deeply interested
in securing a desirable class of immi-
grafton into North Carolina. The Leg
islature did not appropriate the money
to establish a separate department Of
immigration and partly one reason for
the failure to make an appropriation
was that the members believed there
was already provision for inducing i'm
migration, and that the Governor and
the Board of Agriculture could put in
motion the agencies to secure the sort
of immigration that the State needs.
The Progressive Farmer of this week
says lit seems to us that this work
can be carried on most effectively by
our State Department of Agriculture"
When the Board of Agriculture
meets it will doubtless take this mat
ter up and consider whether it can
not take up the matter in a practical
manner and make it effective along
the lines of Governor Glenn's inaugu-
raj.

A PATRIOT OF THE HIGHEST
TYPE

In the death of Judge John II. Rea-
gan the South loses a man who has
been a citizen of three Republican
iIlustrious citizen of the Republic of
Texas, a Cabinet officer of the Con-
federacy and Senator of the United
States Congress. In his young man
hood Judge Reagan made reputation
as a judicial officer in Texas by risking
his own life to enforce the law. In
the Confederate Cabinet he ranked
with the best men in that body and
later took high rank in the United
States Senate When the Railroad
Commission was established in Texas,
Judge Reagan was made chairman of
the Commission and organized it upon
lines that made it in many respects
the best body of its kind in America.
Before other statesmen foresaw the
coming of the rate question that is
now agitating the people of America,
Judge Reagan took an advanced posi-
ton and blazed the way for the rate
regulation that will certainly free the
people from the domination of rail-
road corporations, and compel fair
rates to the shippers and the travel
ing public.

THAT SOUTH DAKOTA BLUFF.

The bondholders who expected to
extort 1895, 900 from the State as a
compromise for the bonds like those
donated to South Dakota were expert
hands in the game of bluff. Just at
the time that they made one of their
various bluff "ultimatums" to Govern
or Glenn, there appeared under fam
ing headlines a great cock-and-bull
story to the effect that the South Da-
kota Legislature or one branch had
passed law enabling that State to
buy bonds of other States, and we
were gravely told that unless North
Carolina paid to the bondholders the
bonds to South Dakota, and then that
North Carolina would have to pay
seven or eight hundred thousand dol
lars. That publication, shrewdly
procured by agents in Washington,
produced panic in those quarters
that had been insisting all the time
upon paying the Schaffer crowd every
dollar they asked, and they grew
frantic in their insistence for quick and
full payment. At that juncture the
Senate wisely tabled bill even to con-
slider the matter and Governor Glenn
wrote his ringing open letter to North
Cardinals United States Senators. This
paper printed a telegram from a lead
ing paper in South Dakota stating
that no such bill had passed the Leg
islature, and later there came assur-
ances through Senator Overman from
South Dakota members of Congress
that no such legislation had been or
would be enacted.
The scare had not scared the Gov
ernor, the Council Of State, or the Leg
islature. And then there came an
other lower ''ultimatum' showing
that the buffers were on the run.
Again the Governor and the Legisla-
tive Committee declined to be frighten-
ed or persuaded into doing anything
except to settle with the Schaffers
upon the exact terms offered by the
Legislature of 1879. There were some
who would have been willing at first
to pay little more to get rid of the
litigation, but the committee stood
like a stcne wall against any other

Our laws-to take an example-for-
bid rebates and all kinds of discrimi-
nation between shippers. The railway
men in general admit the desirab1lity
of such law. Yet they. and the ship
pers, and the attorneys for both, de-
vote themselves to discovering de-
vices for outwitting the law. There
is no moral standard which restraints
either lawyers or business men from
any secret practice intended to help
them escape from laws the passage Of
which they favor. The public faces
the necessity of continuing laws 50

the country can invent no trickery to
beat them, but probably public opin-
ion on such matters is being educated

made. The struggle for money is los
ing something relatively. and moral
standards slowly make a correspond
ing gain.

should be given to corn, peas, goober-
peas, cane. the grasses, etc.
The contest now in progress is not
for 1905, only; it is for succeeding
years as well.
The cotton acreage must, as a mat
ter of business, be restricted to limit
that will each year make it a sur
plus and a profitable crop.
This policy can not be made eff
fectual except through the agency of
abundant home supplies produced by
the intensive system.
Let US see what has been accom-
plished in small way along this
line:
In a recent article in which condi-
tions and results in Georgia were dis
cussed, showed that in 1902, SO
pounds of commercial fertilizers were
applied per acre to corn; in 1903, 70
pounds.
A study OF the eight States in hand
shows the most gratifying results from
very modest tests of the intensive sys-
tenn.
For example, in 1903, the States
alluded to increased their corn acre
age less than 2 per cent, increased
fertilizers 40 per CENT, and increased
the aggregate yield. over 1902, 59.5
per cent-making in 1903, 401,000,0 600
bushels against 252,000,000 bushels in
1902.
These states reduced their acreage in
oats in 1908, 1927 per cent compared
with 1902; used q larger quantity of
fertilizers per acre and increased the
aggregate crops over 1902, 29.9 per
cent.
They increased their wheat acreage
in 1903, 25.9 per cent, used fertilizers
more literally per acre and increased
the aroTp07tp crOD over that of 1902
667 per cent.
BY the use of -phosphates, they
increased the hay crop of 1908 over
that of 1902, 24.1 per cent.
The percentum of increases in yield
per acre tells a wondrous story of re-
suits which, with good seed, deep
ploughing, proper cultivation and fa-
vorable seasons, flow from a judicious
and liberal use of commercial fertil-
iZers rich in food the plants require.
Here are the facts for 1903
IN corn, the increase in yield per
acre was 5S.5 per cent over 1902;
i'm oats, the increase in yield per acre
was 934 per cent over 1902; in wheat,
the increase in yield per acre was 1873
per cent over 1902; in hay, the in
crease in yield per acre was 211 per
cent over 1902.
] cite results achieved, not posi-
bilities. They are full of encourage
ment and ought to prove an inspira-
ton in this intense year, 1905.
How were these results wrought
BY thorough preparation of the soil,
by the free use of fertilizers adapt
ed TO the plants and by the extra
attention which was possible on re-
stricted acreage.

This letter shows that the best class
of men in South Dakota resent the
position in which the State was placed
by Pettigrew and will not permit the
State to be used as collecting agent
for the holders of bonds against sis
ter State. The whole trouble that
North Carolina has had is due to the
traitorous conduct of Governor Daniel
L. Russell and Senator Marion Butler

kota. These worthless used their off,
cial positions to the injury of the
States they had sworn to faithfully
represent.
