THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW
To Prove What Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney Remedy, Will
do for YOU, Every Reader of The Progressive Farmer. May
Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for more sickness and
suffering than any other disease,
therefore, when through neglect or
other causes, kidney trouble is per-
mitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
Your other organs may need atten-
tion-but your kidneys most, because
they do most and need attention
first.
If you are sick or "feel badly"
begin taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, because as soon as
your kidneys begin to get better they
will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince anyone.
The mild and immediate effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney and bladder remedy, is soon
realized. It stands the highest for
It's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. Swamp-Root will set
your whole system right, and the best
proof of this is a trial.

Three Needful Things Discussed by
Corn Cracker.

Messrs. Editors :lThree things
confront North Carolina, and on
those issues / propose to cry aloud
and spare not.
One is the stigma of illiteracy, and
while a good deal is being done, we
are still too low In the scale for hon
orable comparison.
The remedy is in the better schools
and longer terms. A great deal of
this depends on the teaching profess
sion, but before success is attained,
the cooperation of patrons must be
enlisted.
Some communities don't want a
good school. Favoritism is used In
employing teachers. regardless of
qualifications. In some communities
the main qualification is relation
ship to committeeman. Any man of
sense can see that is a waste of time
and public money.
Being a "nice boy" or a "good
girl" or even "my cousin" or "my
nephew" does not yet mean equip
! ment to educate children. Somebody
said hat more money is paid police
men to cudgel brains than is paid
a teacher to improve brains. More
money is paid a carpenter to polish
plank than to polish brains. In
churches they build the edifice, pay
the pastor, buy the wood, pay a sex
ton, buy the bell, and never dare ask
the State for a cent.
In school matters the State must
pay half for the house, buy all the
wood, and when all expenses are met
the teacher pockets his 68 per cent,
and is looked on as the great Ameri-
can sinecure.
What we need is better teachers,
longer terms and better pay. The
State has reached the limit, and peo-
pie must do what has been done in
every State and every favored section
where good schools prevail-go into
their pockets. In nearly all of Cleve-
land it takes a man with the build of
a prize-fghter to open his mouth on
this line. The result is a four
months term of school, and the
teacher trying to farm rest of year.
He farms just enough to spoil him
as a teacher, and teaches just enough
to spoil him as a farmer.
III.
One of my other hobbies is good
roads, but we don't have any. We
have mud holes and ruts, and will
never have roads till we tax our
selves and use convict labor. We
have no dearth of convicts, and don't
get nea all punished at that. But
We feed them, pay for it, pay court
fees; and then, send our convicts to
CASTOR and Cabarrus Counties. As
a result, on our roads, a horse can
pull 600 pounds in bad weather; and
1000 pounds on roads worked by
Cleveland County convicts.
