Mrs. Murphy Tells Her Fellow-Sufferers
How She Got Rid of Serious Troubles
by Simple Home Treatment.
"I had been bothered for several
years" said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach
disorder, and finally became very weak
and nervous. Flashes of heat would
pass over me, and l would feel as if I
was sinking down. At such times I
could not do any household work, but
would have to lie down, and afterwards
Iwould have very trying nervous spells.
Didn't you have doctor?" she was
asked.
Yes, consulted. several doctors but
my health did not improve. One day a
friend asked me why did not try DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. She assured me
that they had proved of the greatest BEN
eft i'll the case of her daughter. In fact,
she praised them so enthusiastically that
my husband got me box"
"And what was the result?"
"Before had taken half of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After had used only three
boxes l had no more hent-fashes or
weak spells. Thanks to them, have
become well woman"
Mrs. Mary d. Murphy lives at No,
1903 Force street, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, the remedy
which she found so satisfactory, furnish
directly to the blood the elements that
give vigor to every tissue of the body.
They can be depended on to revive fail
ing strength, and to banish nervous
ness. Their tonic properties are abso-
lutely unsurpassed.
AS soon as there is drag, or dizziness, or
pallor, or poor circulation, or disordered
digestion, or restlessness. or pains, or ir-
Irregularities of any kind these famous
pills should be used. They have cured
the most obstinate cases of anamia, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
prostration and even partial paralysis.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rate.

All railroad men qualified to speak
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no d.
vision of opinion as to the desrability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of "un-
justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination night paralyze
the industries of cities. states and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress. published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles, taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions. the making of rates
should as far possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment Of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Waller ID. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day befUre the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention of
some government tribunal. and by this
very process to increase 1.-The tempta-
tion to depart from the published rate
ana the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
n1ercial condition. "-Ne~ York Sun.

why tho Body Needs Water.

Someone has asked: What would be
the cause Of death of a person who
drank no water?" This subject has
been studied considerably; animals
have been experimental upon, and
1t is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them, otherwise
the secretions become too dense.
Without water, the amount OF urea
which should be secreted becomes d.
minished, and SO with the other So
cretions. We need water, not only to
dissolve the food and carry 1t along,
but we need 1t to dissolve ana carry
out of the system the soisonous ana

is Water a Food?

Hutchinson, an English authority,
who has published the latest and best
work on foods. includes water among
food substances. Water enters the
body. not only as solvent but as dos.
tined to become a constituent eleraent
Of the tissues themselves. Water adds
to the energy Of the body by increns-
ing the power Of the heart. and in
other ways contributing to the acti sity
Of the tissues.

REMOVAL OF A. & n. c. X. X.
CHARTER.

Application has been made TO the
Legislature to extend the charter of
the A. & y. c.. r. r. When the road
was leased TO the Rowland Improve
ment Company for ninety-one years,
the Governor and the directors agreed
to recommend TO this Legislature an
extension of the charter TO run at
least the term of the lease. They
have complied with their promise ana
the bill is before the Legislature.
Some opposition has developed to an
extension of the charter and the mat
ter will be heard before the Railroad
Committee on Monday afternoon.
Some people have incorrectly inferred
because of the publication OF the m
terview of Senator Ward yesterday,
that this paper was antagoniZing the
extension of the charter AS mat
ter of fact this paper has taken no
position with reference to the matter
and will not do so until after the hear
ing on Monday afternoon. Having
obtained the lease, this paper wishes
the state TO deal with the utmost
fairness and justice with the lessees
and with the same spirit of justice and
fairness with the people living along
the line of that road. If the men
who object to the extension have right
on their side. we will stand with
them; If the Rowland Improvement
Company is right, then the paper will
stand for it.
Mr.. Rowland and his associates
say it is their purpose to do all they
can to develop the section through
which that road runs. They have al
ready invested two or three hundred
thousand dollars in improving this
road, as an earnest of what they In
tend to do Mr.. Rowland is gen.
tleman OF high character and is as
sociated with men of large means
whose cooperation is expected TO do
much for the development of Eastern
North Carolina. Mr.. Merritt and the
other gentlemen who represent Mr..
Rowland have the fullest confidence
of the people of North Carolina, and
it is far from this paper to reflect
upon them. At the same time 1t will
stand for the strict carrying out of
the contract not to. increase the
freight and passenger rates and every
other agreement made for the pro-
lection of the public and the shippers
along the line of the road

Presbyterian standard.
The Charlotte Observers advice to
the Legislature to be temperate in its
temperance legislation, in the interests
OF the Democratic party, is one of the
funniest things in contemporary jour
naiisnn. The large Democratic vote
in this State last year, as compared
with the falling off in other Southern
States, is due to the live issue of the
Watts law and the fact that the Demo-
crativ party had put itself on the
right side Of that question and the
Republican party on the wrong side.
And the loss of Congressman is due
to the Ubiquitous exceptions made to
that law in favor of a former high
muck-a- muck of the Democratic
party, Glenn Williams. 1t always pays
to do the right thing. The Observers
solicitude should be directed toward
the DISTINGUISHING Free Whiskey Party
in this State which is in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of drunk
ards Ut the usual ratio.
