following in regard to North Car
DINA:
L 1870, just emerging from
the civil war, and in the midst of
ruin and reconstruction, we were
the poorest State, according to
area and population, in the Union.
The value of all our property
was only $3.50, 600, 900; our pop
ulation less than 900, 600; our debt
$40, 600, 900; our people disheart-
ened and dispirited. Contrast
that period with 1907.
A few facts in regard to GER
tain interests:
In 1890 we had 1T cotton
mills, value $25. 000,0 900. In 1906,
308 mills value, SAL, 278, 600.

COOPER MET USUAL

The following article, taken from

city, and the effect of his new prepare
ton as told by people who had become
convinced of the souHdness of Cooper's
theories with regard to the human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human

greatly weakened. He claims that most

due to this fact The article is as fol-

same astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo-

talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that
his theory is correct and would come
and thank him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out.

Cooper's claim that the human stom-
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified
One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. T.. w. Woods, of IO3
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was in very Door
health. She was weak and thin. with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and | was
inclined to believe them. II certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
Shortly after Mr.. Cooper came IN
Pittsburg 1 began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained bv per-
sons who had tried his medicine, so
got some for my wife. She had taken
it only TWO days when she was relieved
of tapeworm AZ feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any
one doubts this statement | would be
pleased to have them call at my house
and verify it. ."

FOR COMMISSIONER OF
AGRICULTURE.
Reasons Why Col. E. F. McRae,
of Robson County, Should Be
Selected For That Office.

II. 4. McNaf IN progressive Farmer.
Messrs. Editors: AS the public
mind is being directed to the diff
ferent candidates for the various
officers to be elected during this
year, please allow me to space in
your valuable paper to present
some OF the reasons why Robe
son county will present the name
Of E. F. McRae, for the office of
Commissioner Of Agriculture to
the next Democratic State Con-
ventiOn.
Mr.. McRae is a man in the
prime Of life, sober, industrious.
intelligent, and in every way fit
ted for this important office. He
was born on a farm, has lived on
farm all his life, and has made
the soil his special study. His
home is one of the most pleasant
IN the State, his farm one Of the
best cultivated, and there is every
mark Of thrift and industry about
the plantation which he owns
and cultiVates and on which he
resides. He is well educated, a
good conversationalist, fluent
speaker, an affable, courteous
gentlemen, and is pleasant to all.
He has served Robson county
in various offices, and has repre-
sented her in the State Senate, and
IN the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes. His conduct has been
such, both in public and private
life, as to call forth nothing but
praise from those who know
him. Mr.. McRae comes from the
county that has the distinction of
being the largest in the State,
raises more cotton than any
other in the State; has large
fields Of grain, and the trucking
industry is being developed.
Well versed in all these industries,
he will know we'll how to look
after the agricultural interests OF
the State, if the same be entrust.
ed to him.
We recognize that other coun.
ties will put forward good men
against them we make no charge
but for each and every one we
entertain high respect. In this
contest We will strive to win fol-
our man on the merits of his OWL
case and not by detracting from
others.
Mr.. McRae has won success
by searching diligently for the
/ truth, and then striving with al
fair means to accomplish the
things that are true.
Notwithstanding the fact tina
, Robson is the largest county If
! the State in area, has larger agri
cultural interests than any othel
county in the State, is among
the wealthiest and one of the
largest in population, but once
IN the history of the county
can we find that it has been rep
! resented on the State ticket. II
that one instance the official re.
e manned in the Office less than {
l year before he died, and wher
his successor was appointed by
, the Governor it was given to an
E E other county.
Nominate Mr.. McRae and Rob
eson county will vouch for hi
conduct in office, and pledge he
faith that the agricultural inter
ests OF the State will not suffer

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES

Pain Is natures signal Of distress, a
warning that must not be ignored.
Those sharp twinges in the back.
those stabilize pains that follow any
sudden twist or turn, are simply signs
OF hidden danger in the kidneys.
No trouble starts more easily, gains
ground more rapidly, nor proves more
often fatal than any disorder OF the
kidneys. All the outward appearances
OF health may remain until terrible
disease has taken root.
1t Is best to learn the duties OF the
kidneys, to watch for early signs of
trouble, aud to correct any irregularity
before its serious stage begins.
The blood goes to the kidneys in an
incessant stream, TO be cleared of poi
son and relieved Of surplus water.
This is passed off by the kidneys In
the urine. 1t Is the retention of poi
son in kidney trouble that breeds ia
tai disease.
