Dislike to Lose Him.

The following letter has been
ssnt to the First Baptist church
here by the former Atlanta con-
gregation of Rev. R.. L. Molly:
"The acceptance Of your call by
one of the most beloved of our
ministers, Rev. R. L. Motley, was
the occasion on last Monday
morning of hearty and generous
regret on the part of the Atlanta
Minister'S Conference. Our re-
greet is that we are to lose Dr..
Motley, who has been for num-
Der of years one Of the leaders in
the wonderful progress Of Atlanta
Bapt;sts, which has attracted the
attention Of the whole country.
We, however, congratulate you,
and do not hesitate to say as a
conference of thirty five pastors
that in DR.. Motley you have one
of Goods nobleman." Our pray.
ers will follow and will abide
upon you.
By order of the Conference thil
expression is sent to your church.

The Inland Waterway.

The remarks of Prof. Collier
Cobb, of the University of North
Carolina, in the waterways con-
venteon should arrest the attsn-
ton of4the country. There can
he no doubt that the most imp11-
tant section of the entire pre- posed
inside route along the Atlantic
Coast is that leading from Chesa-
peake bay through the North Car:
olina sounds. This fact Profess.
sor Cobb shows with force and
c%learness. The portion Of the
route which leads through Mary
land, Delaware Pennsylvania: and
Massachusetts, he said, is develop
ed ceuntry. It is abundsntly pro-
vided with railroad facilities and,
he might have added, alteady has.
canals over which rafic is moving.
"The Forth is developed," Profess.
sor Cobb said in his admirable adj
dress "What Baltimore is in
terested in, as we'll as every other
producing city, Is the develop
ment of that vast Southern terri
tory now reached Intellectually by
scattered railroad facilities, taxed
to their utmost by normal trade"
A waterway for coasting vessels
from the Chesapeake through the
sounds, With a deep outlet into
the ocean near Beaufort, would
open up to the markets a territory
rich in resources and with a soil
capable of producing enormously,

The old fashioned way of dosln,

The old fashioned way of dosing
a weak stomach, 81 stimulating
the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong.
DR.. Shoop first pointed out this
error. This is why his prescrip-
tion-Dr. Shops Restorative-is
directed entirely to the cause of
these ailments-the weak inside or
controlling nerves. It isn't sc
difficult, says DR.. Shoop, to
strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart
or Kidneys, if one goes at it COR
rectly. Each inside organ has its
controlling or inside nerve. When
these nerves fail, then those Or
gans must surely falter. These
vital truths are leading druggists

DISMISSED FOR OPINIONS.
County Commissioners Take High
Handed Action With Deputy
Clerk Arthur Graham.

Deputy County Clerk Graham was
dismissed from his position last week
by an action of the county commits
sioners that if tolerated by county Of
ficers will prove subversive to the
efficiency Of all court house employees.
The commissioners have no authority
over other county officers, the clerk,
treasurer. auditor, sheriff, ETC., are
elected by the people and are respon-
sible only to the people for the con-
duct of their office, and the inter
ference of the board with those Of
fcials can but result TO the detriment
of the public service.
Not having authority to order the
dismissal of Graham, the commission
ers resorted to the cheap trick of
notifying the clerk that there would
be no more funds with which to pay
the deputy in other words, If Ora
ham served any longer he would not
be paid. If Clerk Birdwell had the
proper stamina he would have ordered
