COSTLY PRESSURE.

Henrt and Nerves Fail on Coffee
A resident of a great western State
puts the case regarding stimulants with
a comprehensive brevity that is admir-
able. He says:
Il am 56 years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
lants. They are all alike-a mortgage
OF reserved energy at ruinous interest.
AS the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, l gave up coffee and all other
%stilnulants and began the use of Post
UNI Food coffee some months ago. The
beneficial results have been apparent
from the first. The rheumatism that I
used to suffer from has left me, / sleep
sounder, my nerves are steadier and
my brain clearer. And l bear testi-
mony also to the food value Of Postum
something that is lacking in coffee"

Away. to BE Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy
feeling, it is IN almost certain indication
that the liver. or bowels, or both, are de-
cidedly out of order.
AT such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use
for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
pill your grandparents used, when doctors
were few and far between and when peo-
pie had to have a remedy that could abb
s%olutely be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended Upon
and are sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.

ooh, a thousand things. Enough to

hopefully about things far worse than
this great country.
Our Danville minister is an optimist.
His wife, on the other hand, is q pessi-

"tOh, nothing very bad, l hope said
he.

they can tell when she's going to have
company by her washing the children's

February I, 1906. contract was made
Tor 100 locomotives and 10000 freight
cars to be delivered last October. This
contract has SO far been only partially
hlled by the locomotive and car foun-
dries.
Mr.. Finley also cites several in.
stances where work for building double
tracks has gone months beyond the
contract period for the reason that
laborers cannot be secured by the con-
tractors. If our legislators would pass
and require the enforcement OF va.
grancy laws, instead of trying to re-
duce passenger rates, maybe the pub
lie would receive some benefit from
their acts.

to the amount Of $2oo,ooo,ooo for the
purpose OF improving it's roads and

standing the advanced price OF everv-

Immigrants Reach Charleston.

The North-Lloyd steamship Witte-
KIND reached the port OF Charleston
last week with a cargo Of freight and
nearly two hundred immigrants. The
foreigners have all been sent TO tbe
towns OF their choice and have found
work Nearly all OF them have gone
to cotton mills, according to the re-
ports. This may be a good thing. but
1t is abortive Of the plan proposed last
year when commissioner Watson went
to Europe to make arrangements for
the coming OF ship into Charleston
AS we understand the matter. the cot
ton mill presidents who met last wear
and appropriated some five thousand
dollars Tor the use of Mr.. Watson did
so not to obtain help for their mills,
Out 10 secure laborcrs to take the
PAGES lett vacant on the farms by the
removal OF farmers families to tbe
towns.
Inc cotton mills offered employment
more remuncrative than the farms, and
thc white people from the country
Hooked to the cotton mills, leaving the
country districts sadly in need OF in
tciligent laborers. AS the whites lett
the farms, the negro laborcrs became
more and more worthless and indo
lent, seeming to think the landowners
were dependent upon them to till the
SOIL. The mills, realizing that thew
were draining the white people from
the farms, desired to replace them with
ihtellgcnt white people, so they donat-
cd $1,000 to the immigration bureau.
ana 1t was this iund, partly, that Com
missioner Watson betrayed the expens-
eS OF his trip abroad last year. The
mil men desire that the cotton fields
and other farm property shall be titled
by intelligent laborcrs, and, having
drawn SO heavily upon the farms for
their help. they desire that immigrants
snail come to the State and work on
the farms. And in this they have shown
spirit OF patriotism commendable to
more than an average degree. The cot
ton mill men have done much to bring
about the wave OF great prosperity that
mas swept the State and the South.
