LINONINE Emulsion of Flax Seed
How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in a simple "cold" or iD a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in a cough.
 Bronchitis Is accompanied by q cough. ... .u
 The first stage of La Grippe is a "cold."
 Pneumonia Is preceded by cough and violent "cold." Croup-that terrible malady of childhood-comes solely as condi- tion of a "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal com plications, are often due to "cold" which settles in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are rec ognized by the medical profession as havi.,- f.nir dlrc't TT indirect cause n d .a.....-.. "c,la' or cough.

 Perfect Medicine.

Linonine is a blood food-the most helpful thing in all medicine for you. More than one hundred thousand collars have been expended in mak- ing this FlaAseed Emulsion the most perfect food medicine in the world.
 Linonine Is not a secret remedy the formula is on every bottle. It is a palatable emulsion-sweet as cream-made of the oil compressed cold from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and imported from Bombay. Flax Seed grown elsewhere Is not good enough for Linonine.
 This Flax Seed oil made in this special manner is combined with other healing and bodybuilding ele- ments and by series of intricate, scientific processes, requiring 120 hours, is emulsified into its delicious cream form. Children and adults alike speak of Linonine as being Sweet as cream" Physicians have prescribed Llnonine for years.

The unanimity with which the Con-
gressmen in the various districts in
North Carolina have been nominated
as their own successors speaks well
for them. All the while this paper
has favored returning congressman
for several terms at least, unless
they prove untrue to the trust re-
posed i'll them by the people who
make up their constituency. 1t takes
Il man some time to become fully ac-
quainted with the duties and the de-
mands OF his work as IA representa-

gress, Ill some respects the great test
deliberative body in the world. And
while a member OF that great Nation
al Council fills well his position. at
tends closely to his duties and Care
fully looks after the interests of the
people whom he represents we see no
need for being in a hurry to turn
aside and place the interests of the
people in the hands of another. We
do not wish to be understood as ad-
vocating for any one a life-tenure in
office; for we do not believe that a
public office belongs to any man;
and so rotation of office is n fair
thing. and we believe it should be
practiced. Generally there are AS
good and capable men left in the
ranks as are chosen for positions OF

A New Cotton Picker.
Charlotte Chronicle

Charlotte Chronicle.
The Chronicle is hospitable to the
cotton picking machine. Its readers
know that it took much interest in
the experiment of Col. Lowery s
machine on Mr.. Frank Johnston's
farm, and that the results Of that eX-
pertinent clearly proved that the, cot
ton picker was in sight. The Lowery
machine, however, moved too slowly,
was too cumbersome and lacked ade-
quate motor power. Instead OF 60
ing ahead and remedying these de-
fects, Colonel Lowery undertook to
make a cotton chopper, planter, cul-
tivator and picker combined, and
passed out of the realm of possibili-
ity. He was on the right track and if
he had only confined his genius to the
cotton picker, pure and simple, he
might have succeeded. Now comes
Mr.. Thurman, of st. Louis, with a
vacuum cotton picking machine,
which looks like it will work all right.
1t is lightly built, evidently a fast
traveller and seems to be built on
the right principles. He says this
about his cotton picker: ''It will
gather cotton cleaner and better and
faster than it is possible to do by
human hands. Every machine is
guaranteed to gather 100 per cent.
of the cotton with no trash" Mr..
Thurman says his machines are
ready for the market and will be in
the cotton fields this fall. The ChrOn-
icle is hoping that it may be instru-
mental in bringing one Of them up
this way, SO as to let the Mecklen
burg farmers see how much improve.

A Hard Working Congressman

Wilmington Star.
Mr.. GOdwin's bitterest enemies, if
he has any-and we doubt that he
has-cannOt deny that he is one of
the hardest working Congressman
this State has ever had. Any man
who goes to Congress can vote as
his floor leader tells him, but with
the other party in the majority what
good does his vote do his constitu-
ents? He may be II brilliant orator
and deliver eloquent speeches on
leading questions but they amount
10 nothing. for they gain no votes
from the other side Let him be ever
so eloquent and still h- does no real
service to his constituents. But the
Congressman who is of real benefit is
the one who works for his people
outside the halls OF Congress, who III
fiuences the ma jOritv to do things
that will benefit his people. This is
the kind of Congressman Mr.. Goodwin
has been. No former member has
ever worked harder or entered with
greater heart and soul into schemes
which work for the good of his people.
Mr. Goodwin has devoted his time to
these works and we are glad to say,
to good effect While many other
congressman We're busy sending cop
les of their speeches all over their
districts he was occupied in laying
plans to secure "A 3O-fOOt channel
from Wilmington to the sea. in gain
ing a deeper channel in the upper
Cape Fear, in pushing through the
inland waterway and in having the
Government undertake the drainage
Of the swamp lands of the Eastern
sections of our State-all matters of
the greatest Importance to our
whole State-as well as attending to
his other duties as Congressman.
The people of this district should
show their appreciation of Mr.. God
wins work by giving him rousin@
vote at the November election, for
he deserves it. He is just the kind of
Congressman our people need-One
who prefers to work in a quiet way
for the purpose of accomplishing
good for them, to making a reputa-
tion for himself as a debater and
! orator.

The Story of a Dollar.

Here is the story OF a dollar that
has its own moral, as told by an eX-
change:
Ten years ago an Allen county,
Kansas, farmer put his initials on a
dollar bill. The next day he went to
the nearest town and spent it with a
merchant. Before the year was out
he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back for
produce, and three times he heard OF
it in the pockets of his neighbors.
The last time he got it back was four
years ago. He sent it to a mail-order
house. He has never seen the dollar
since and never will. That dollar
bill will never pay any more school
or road tax for him, will never build
or brighten any of the homes OF the
community. He sent it entirely out
of the realm of usefulness to himself
and to his neighbors when he sent it
to the mail-order house. The moral
is plain. An appeal through the
newspapers to this man with the bill
would have kept it at home. The
mail order man knew how to get
the dollar, he talked to him with
printers ink.
