Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years of
Torture,

For more than twenty years Mr.. ].
B. Massey. of 1922 Clinton St. Mime
apolis. Mimi. was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he endur-
ed during this time is beyond compre-
hension. Nothing gave him any per-
manent relief until he used Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. One application of
that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected perman-
ent cure. If troubled with sciatica or
rheumatism why not try 25-cent bot
tie of Pain Balm and see for yourself
how quickly it relieves the pain. For

What Cotton Has Done.
(Charlctte Obscrrer.)


The South, in the production of
cotton, commands the attention of
the world. She has developed out
Of the soil and the air fibre which
has surpassed linen for cheapness
and utility. With it she has driven
wool into a narrower field of service.
With it she has so closely come to al
the appearances and utilities of silk
that the latter must compete active
ly with mercerized cotton in the big
world markets. She has given the
world a food product in cotton oil
that staggers the olive oil producer.
She fattens cattle at home, in Eng
land and in Germany on cotton seed
meal and hulls and brings these pro
duets into competition with corn in
the Northwest. She supplies oil for
packing sardines in France, for max
ing butter in Holland, for increasing
olive oil exported from Italy, and
for many other uses.
Yet the world tells the South that
she does all these things wrong; that
she doesn't know how to make and
handle cotton. We don't plant it
right, we don't gin it right, we don t
bale it right, nor in anyway handle
it as the New Englander, the Eng
lishman, the Frenchman or the Ger
man would. Neither do we live right
with the colored people according to
these critics. Meanwhile 40 per
cent of the cotton crop is produced
by the colored citizen, with the op-
portunity we give him, and this 40
cent yields mere than 100000, 900
annually-a sum larger than the en-
tire cotton crop Of ten years ago
yielded to the entire Southern popu-
lation, white and black. Yet We
survive and seem to be growing a
little better and a little more pros
porous in spite Of the critics.

Dr.. 0sIer Tab0os Soup.
(From July What to Eat


DR.. William Osler, to whom is ac-
corded the oft-repeated and oft-de-
MED assertion that people should be
chloroformed after becoming 60
years old, is bitterly opposed to the
drinking of soup, according to the
statements of a New York mer-
chant.
My wife was wreck from ner-
vous dyspepsia" said the merchant.
Several prominent physicians in
New York had treated her without
success, and finally | was advised to
take her to Baltimore to see DR.. Os-
Ter. He inquired carefully about
her habits, and practicularly her diet.
We described it without going into
details, but this did not satisfy the
great physician.
Tell me what you have for dir
ner, describing the nature Of the
courses, their numb +, and so on, he
insisted.
We'll, usually we start with some
good, nourishing SOUP | began.
"'Stop right there interrupted
DR.. Osler. Soup must go. There
is popular falIacy that soup is
nourishing. That is a mistake. 1t is
one Of the most harmful things one
can eat. 1t is worse than lobster.
Of course, there are times when g
simple beef or mutton broth is not
to be condemned. But as a rule
soup is positively dangerous. 1t di-
lutes the gastric juices and it fer
ments too rapidly to permit it to be
easily digested. 1t is the greatest
cause of dyspepsia and nervous dis
orders. Vegetable soup should be
thrown into the garbage pail, where
it belongs, instead Of being poured
into a delicate stomach. Half the
nervous wrecks among society folk,
who live well, are caused by eating
soup
"Dr. Csler gave some other advice,
which was followed by my wife in
addition to giving up soup. Soup is
never served at our table, and has
not been for four years. My wife is
well and strong to-day, and she can
eat anything on the menu except
soup."

SCOTLAND NECK, N. c., THURSDAY, JULY Is, 1897.
Electricity as a Field For Invention.
Electric News.)

Electric Ncws.)
BY far the greatest activity in in
vention during the past few years
has been in the electrical field.
Thousands of patents have been
taken out but there are still a great
many things which are needed, and
needed badly. The serious problems
which are perplexing the hundreds
of scientists and inventors are legion
and a fortune awaits the men who
perfect insulating material; a trolley
wheel that won't comeoff the trolley;
new and lighter storage battery;
a wireless method of directing tor
pedo boats and discharging subma-
rine mines; non-mechanical electric
generators; the transmission of cleo
trio power without wires; the wire
less telephone; the self-contained
electric car without trolley or third
rail; more efficient arc lights; better
batteries and a household motor
adapted to various uses.
Apparently some of these things
are impossible but it should be re-
memhered that many of the greatest
scientists Of the age said the incan-
descent lamp was impossible up to
the announcement of Thomas A.
Edison's invention, tWenty-years ago.
These things will all come in time,
perhaps tomorrow.
The world wants a more economi-
cal electric light. The present in
candescent lamp wastes 80 pr cent
of the electrical energy. Scientists
are trying to discover how to pro-
duce electric light without heat.
The FREELY does it-but how?
A perfect insulator for high volt
age transmission lines is yet to be
found. A cheap, lightweight, strong
substance that can be formed easily
and has high insulating properties
would be worth fortune to the dis
coyerer.
A new storage battery of light
weight and increased capacity is in
great demand. The present storage
battery with its lead plates is very
heavy.
