Y, Il suffered from neuralgia and p:I:-
pitation of the heart. My skin was
pale and saffow and l was troubled
with dizziness. fainting spells and fits
of indigestion. l was very nervous and
would start at the slightest sound. At
times a great weakness would come
over me and on one occasion my limbs
gave way under me and / fell to the
sidewalk. l did not lose consciousness
but was unable to move for several
minutes.
"Of course 1 was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted noted

Before l had finished the second box
l felt much better and my color had
begun to return. l continued using
the pills and by the time l had taken
eight boxes I was entirely cured.

Virginia's Coming Exposition,

The day for the formal opening of
the Jamestown exposition which had
been set for May Is. 1907, has been
changed to April 26 of the same year.
Usually the time for the opening of
eXpostions is postponed. but in this
case 1t appears the management is
anxious to open the jamestown ex-
position earlier than was originally
planned for. The alteration Of the dxy
Is III recognition of the arrival Of the
English settlers at Cape Henry, Va.
rather than of their occupation of
jamestown several weeks later. When
jamestown was founded it was on a
peninsula, but the spot has now become
an island. The ruins of the old fort and
church are about all that remain to IN
dictate the place Of the first permanent
English settlement on American soil.
The early days of the settlers of
jamestown were as full of tragedy
and suffering as were the early days
of the Enslishmen of Plymouth few
years later. The struggle in both
cases was long one. but in both cases
it was glorified by success.
In speaking of the early jamestown
writer in the Boston Transcript says:
1T was a dozen years after the land
ing when the first legislative assembly
in America was held there, and the
same year the first African slaves to
be received in this country were land
cd there, so in that now almost desert
ed spot was witnessed the establish
ment Of two institutions that have
been at once the blessing and bane OF
the country. the right of assembly and
elaboration and African slavery which
| has left a legacy that is still troubling
us. 1t is little queer that there
| should be those in this country urging
the removal to some other continent OF
race whose ancestors became a fac.
tor of our civilization before the Pill
| grims landed at Plymouth. Perhaps
there are lessons of right and justice
to be learned from a revival of inter.
est in Jamestown and it's place in his.

The Proper Entry.

A southern politician recently told
of an incident in connection with a
slight earthquake that visited one of
the gulf states not so many years ago.
The shaking of the earth was distinctly
felt all over the state. but especially
in the state capitol. The legislature
was in session at the time. and nearly
every member thereof ran out of the
statchousc when that structure began
to cvince a disposition to turn itself
over. OF course there was an end to
Legislative proceedings for that day.
When the body had reconvened it was
found that some member of the grim
ly humorous turn had made an entry
or the journal Of the legislature IN
these words: ION motion of the
house. the legislature adjourned"

The FLAGS Returned.

The point resolution passed Dy Con-
press a year ago, relative to the H.
t,rn Of the Civil War battleflags in
the custody Of the war department at
Washington, has been carried out as
far as was possible. Several hundreds
Of captured COnferedate battlefags
have been returned to the survivors
OF the organizations which fought
braycly i'm that conflict over 40 years
ago, or to the capitols of the Southern
states where the regiments were en-
listed. A few of the Union flags
which had also remained at the Capt.
tol were under the provisions of this
order returned to the states where
they belonged, several. 1t will be re-
membercd, being returned to Maine.
But when the work Of distributing and
returning these old battlefags began,
Il was discovered that many of them
could not be identified, and no fewer
than 2SS Confederate flags, and 164
Union flags We're left in the War de-
partment, it being impossible to tell
by what regiment they had been car
ried or in what states the regiments
had been enlisted.
The War department decided to send
the 1854 unidentified Union flags to
West Point to be kept with many
other relics preserved there. This was
accordingly done and was a most fit
ting solution of one-half the problem.
but what to do with the Confederate
flags was more difficult matter to
determine. 1t was evident that Con-
gress and the nation did not want them
retained by the Federal government as
trophies, but no custodian had been
named to receive them and the secre-
tary of war had no authority to dis
pose of them. In his annual report
Ma jor-General Ainsworth, military
secretary of the department, suggested
that the unidentified flags should be
given into the keeping of one of the
Confederate memorial or historical So
cictics. to be preserved with the care
that those who followed them in bat
tie would be glad to bestow upon
Them
To carry out this appropriate plan
the House committee on military af-
fairs has reported i resolution author
izing the secretary of war to transfer
the flags to the Confederate Memorial
Literary society of Richmond. Thus
the government will relieve itself of
the flags, the retention of which was
sure to create more or less i'll feeling
among the men who fought Sundcr
them. and the banners will have a
proper resting place in the dead Con-
fcderacy's capital city There is no
opposition to this plan in any quarter
and not the least interesting feature
OF the successful movement for the
return of the flags is the fact that no
protest against it has been made in
Congress or by any influential organi-
cation or person anywhere.
