Just what to do when the kidneys are
affected, is a question that concerns
both young and old. Weak kidneys

suffering People of advanced years,

airy irregularity. dizziness and nervous
ness make life a burden.

on the kidneys and cures these troubles.

Building Railroad from Spring
HOPE Westward.

The Rocky Mount Record publishes
the following. which may or may not
be of interest to the people OF Hen
derson. Some years ago there was
talk of bnilding a railroad from Hem
derson TO Spring Hope, in Nash
county. to coanect with the Atlantic
Coast Lines branch road which Was
never extended to Raleigh as was
presumed it would BIZ. The Record
saws:
Work is being pushed upon the grading
and laying OF track for the road being
built for the Montgomery Lumber
Co, from Spring Hope, West Since the
work on this road was begun there has
been much conjecturing as to where its
Western terminal would be-whether at
some point on the Seaboard Air Line,
either Louisburg or Franklinton, or
some other point. or through to Raleigh.
The matter seems to have about taken .
definite shape at present. and those who
have the work in charge have directed
the survey through to Louisburg, and
they are daily securing the right of way.

Sunday School Enlargement.
Contributed.


No more faithful and efficient body OF
Christian workers are to be found than
those who are doing the work of our
Sunday Schools. 1t is equally true that
you could not find body of workers
more anxious to render more acceptable
and efficient service, yet the opportunity
for Improvement in material and method
is not always given. The teachers in our
secular schools have many advantages
for Improvement, like the summer normal
accessible and inviting. The Sunday
School teacher has not always the same
advantage The further fact that few
Sunday Schools are able to secure the
services of those who have had the best
advantages in training for teaching
they abandon this looking to teaching
az a life work, and after five long days
in the school room, have not sufficient
strength to give Sunday to similar work.
| This necessitates, that the teaching be
! done frequently by those who have had
no special training.
To meet in a measure this need and to
assist the Sunday School workers of our
! town in their desire to render more eff
| cient service, the pastors have outlined a
course of lectures to be given in the diff
ferent churches from February to June,
as follows;
February-The Bible, by Rev. J. r.
| Doan.
March-Bible History, by Rev. R. NJ.
Andrews.
April-The Sunday School, by Rev. c.
E. Newman
May-The Teachers. by Rev. j. A.

June-The Pupil by Rev. r. c. Craven.

evening of each week, the place. an

of its turn.
Great anxiety now prevails regard
inc the way the vote viii go on this
bill. 1t is conceded that every mem
Der of the senate is against gambling
but some of them are bitterly opposed
to the bill in it's present form and it $
doubtful if the friends Of the measure

cede eight votes to the bill but no
more.
-Four members of the senate are IN
doubt as TO Wnat way tHey VIII NOte'
None of these favors the bill as it is,
hut as they do not know what they
want, both the opponents and those
favoring the bill expect to "fop''
their particular way. The six remain
ing members are firm in their stand
against the bill which now has even
for. five doubtful and six against.
