NOTE AND COMMENT.

That the st. Paul's Reformed Epis-
copal Church of Chicago is about to
start upon a plan to cure disease
through mental influence was announc.
ed last Sunday by Bishop Samuel
Fallows. He calls the proposed cure
"Christian Psychology" In sermon
he said this idea included every cura-
tive agency in the world of nature as
an aid to the powerful influence of
suggestion and auto-suggestion for
mental and physical health. 1t ''unites
the physician and clergyman in the
great work of healing and aims to
give the physician trained men and
women to assist in the ministry to the
sick and suffering" The bishop fur
Their expressed the hope that this move
ment would "link all the churches ir-
respective of creed" and would prove
"that there is no necessity for seek
ing antagonistic organizations in order
to gain the boon of health and hap
piness." He asserts that Christian
spychology will cure anything that is
durable by Christian Science methods,
especially nervous diseases. This along
the line of work carried on by the
Boston Emmanuel church for the past
year.
London Chronicle: Apropos of literary
condolences, Tennyson writes: "a
Chinese soldier some time ago wrote
to me saying that in an unknown, un-
translated Chinese poem there were two
whole lines of mine almost word for
word" Or, again, in the case of Byron
who, in his monody on the death OF
Sheridan, where he says there will
never be another Sheridan, the mold
being broken up, he employs, word fol
word, terms in which an ancient San.
skirt document refers to the death OF
Maru, Notwithstanding that Byron could
never have seen the document. And
once more, Shakespeare's passage about
love and lightning in Romeo and
Juliet" Act III, Scene 2, is almost iden.

One Blaze Last Evening Opposite the

Started Something.

From Saturdays Daily.
: The central station firemen have re-
eeived several calls during the past
twenty -fonr hours. A general alarm
was sent in at 7:45 p. m. yesterday

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly You can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
aid to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and

An INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

The Sampson Democrat. which Is
always wanting Republican manage
ment of affairs Investigated. says II
does not advocate an Investigation
into the conduct of the Board Of Edu-
cation OF Sampson County. And why?
Is IL because the board Of education
is composed of Democrats? II they
have conducted the affairs properly
they should not object TO an inyes-
tgation and If they have not prop
erly discharged their duties then the
taxpayers should know 1t. Grave
charges have been made against the
board and yet the Sampson Demo
crat says:
We do not advocate an investl-
CATION into the conduct Of the Board
Of Education, We do not advocate
such a thing being done, simply be-
cause we see no reason in it.
We understand that the board has
not denied the charges and yet their
organ in that county does not want
an investigation. 1t has been charg-
ed that the bondsmen OF the abscond-
ing sheriff lost about $4,000 by the
negligence of the Democratic Board
of Education in that County.
1t Is charged that they did not have
a settlement with the sheriff during
his entire term of Office.
If this is true then the innocent
bondsmen had to pay $4,000 for the
gross negligence of the Democratic
Board of Education of Sampson
County. And yet the Sampson Dem
ocrat doesn't want their record inves
| tigated.

THE COTTON CROP.

Some papers and some individuals
are of the opinion that the farmers
will not get a fair price for their
cotton this year, but we do not share
that opinion. The crop has been cut
short in the Carolinas and Georgia by
the recent heavy rains, and the re-
)ports from Texas, the greatest cotton
State in the Union, are that the crop
in that State will be considerably
below the average. The following
from the Charlotte Peoples Paper
tells something of the conditions in
Texas:
MIR. J. D. Bundy, once a we'll
known cotton buyer in this city, now
a cotton planter at DeKalb, Texas
says in letter to friend that where
, a few weeks ago he expected to get
bale and a half of cotton from an
acre that the boil weevil has cut the
crop dow to a bale from four acres
and in some places to bale from &c
acres"
We would not advise the farmers
to hold their cotton, yet We believe
it will bring a good price if they dc
hold it.
