The Great Storehouse of Wealth.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.

Belts vast wealth came from mines
diamonds, gold and copper-like the i'm
mense fortune OF Senator William A.
Clark OF Montana, like the S25, 900, 900
or more accumulated by Cecil Rhodes.
The earth was also the source of the
wealth OF both John ID. Rockefeller and
his brother William. The same is true
OF Carnegie's great store of wealth. 1t
was really dug from iron mines-iron
and coal. krupp piled up the largest
estate in Germany in like manner. He
made his money by manufacturing the
product OF iron mines. The earth is a
magnificent storehouse of wealth. 1t has
proved more fruitful ofimmense fortunes
than the vast transportation business
which made the fortunes of the Wander
bits and the Goulds, Hill, Hartman and
the rest OF tie railroad kings 1t has
beaten the mere ownership and use of
the surface OF the ground, Astor-fashion.
Cleveland Leader.
Yes, and the great center OF the
earth's storehouse is the South.
Think OF its coal area, nearly three
time as great as the combined coal
fields of Great Britain, Germany and
Pennsylvania; OF tsiron ore, far sur
passing in quantity that which made
the fortunes OF Carnegie and krupp;
OF its oil, promising to exceed in yield
all that went to make the Rockefeller
fortune; OF its sulphur, which domi-
mates the worlds sulphur trade: of
its phosphate, which holds the same
unique position in the worlds ferti-
iizer industry; of its vast stores of
concentrating materials, the indus
try which promises to rival iron and
steel; OF its copper and other higher
forms OF minerals, and then let your
imagination attempt to forecast the
yastness of the wealth which the min
eral storehouse OF the world is to turn
loose in the South.

A Sweet Breath,

A sweet breath adds to the joys of a kiss.
You wouldn't want to kiss you wife, mother
or sweetheart with bad breath. You can t
have a sweet breath without a healthy
stomach. You can't have a healthy stomach
without perfect digestion. There is only one
remedy that digests what you eat and makes
the breath as sweet as a rose-and that rem
edy is KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA. 1t is a
relief for sour stomach, palpitation of the
heart, and other ailments arising from dis
order of the stomach anb digestion. Take a
little Kodol after your meals and see what it
will do for you. Sold at Parker's Two Drug
Stores

Assassins of Character.
Richmond News Leader.

We have no patience with the style
of journalism which deliberately I'M
dertakes to stab and ruin character
without evidence to sustain Or justi-
fly the assault for the sake of making
sensation, selling a larger number
OF houses, gratifying some spite or
promoting some cause or individual.
In our view it is as true now as it
was 400 years ago that the man who
steals another mans purse is far less

WHEN CONSIDERING LIFE IN
SURANCE,

Consider Your Own and Your Peo-
pies Best Intests by Taking Policy
in the Southern Life Insurance Conn.,
pany.
Why not consider your own and your
people's best interests and place your
policy in the Southern Lie insurance
COMPANY instead of your friend s interest
who happens to represent another oo"-
pany?
Look at it this way: "a mans best
friend is his Mother" Suppose your
mother owned farm of one hundred
acres. old and somewhat run down.
1t will make fifty bales OF cotton, when
she wishes to lease to you Tor a rental OF
twenty-five bales. Across the road from
your mothers farm one, who cares noth,
ing for you, owns g. farm OF one hundred
acres in very high state OF cultivation
which will make two hundred bales OF
cotton; he will lease it to you for forty
bales. Like the Southern Life insurance
Company he viii give you fouf-hftns OF
the Profits. Now, you cannot cultivate
but one of these farms. Ii you cultivate
your mothers one hundred acres she gets
twenty-five bales; you wish to take care
OF your mothers interests as well as your
own. With her farm she and yourseif
can get fifty bales OF cotton. BY cultl-
waiting the other one hundred acres, after
giving the owner forty bales you have
one hundred and sixty bales for yourseii;:
If you wish to give your mother nan
your earnings you gave her eighty pales
off of the strangers farm instead OF
TWENTY-FIVE bales Off of her own. you
will have over three times as much Tor
yourself.
The very low IN OBITUARY cost In young
Company and the high rate OF interest,
puts the Southern Life Insurance Com
pany on q par with the fertile farm, whlle
the high death rate and low rate OF In
terest puts the old Companies on par
| with the run down farm.
The old Companies usually give the
polcyholders half the small profits which
| they make. while the Southern Lille In
surance Company gives four-tifths OF
their much larger profits to the policy
holders. See about the dividend on your
policy and who gets it before you close
another Life Insurance trade.
