BUSY BUSINESS MEN
Science Helps Them Out After Reck-
lessly Abusing the Stomach.

The most reckless man in regard to
health is the busy business man. At
noon he rushes out for bite to eat.
He bolts his food without proper mas
ticatiOn, and heaps on his stomach an
extra burden greater than it is able to
carry without breaking down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help; it appeals to him for relief
in various ways: Expulsion of sour
gas, waterbrash, sour taste in mouth,
heayiness after eating, shortness of
breath, bad breath, ETC.
One Mi-o-na tablet taken with or
after each meal will help any sufferer
from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t aids
the stomach in the work of digestion
which it must perform.
Mi-o-ni tablets are sold by ]. H. Hill
& Son, so cents large box, with a
rigid guarantee to cure dyspepsia and

AS TO WHEAT.

In 1879 the high price was due to a
failure of the European crop. In 1881
our own crop was short. A wheat
corner put up the price in 1888. aided
by crop shortage. The high price of
1898 was due in part to European har-
vest failures and in part to the war
With Spain.
Ahe exports disagree as to the situ-
ation. The government reported on
March farm reserve of 142, 900 900
bushels. This reserve has not been
accounted for. The crop of 1908 was
larger than the crop of 1907 by 30
ooO,OOO bushels. Exports from the
crop OF 1908 have been about 7,OOO, 900
less than they were from the crop of
l9OI-and yet the Patten corner is
maintained.
lt is also true that the prospects of
a great winter wheat crop this wear
are not extremely favorable. 1t is
also true that there is a disquieting
scarcity of wheat the world round
Population is increasing more randi
iy than is the production of wheat
There is fear that the worlds wheat
bin will become empty.
After all, should not our Southern
farmers get ready to plow deeper next
1all with view to the growing of
enough wheat for home use? IF tive
ploW deep and wide enough thew
could grow a surplus and get a fine
price for it.

The heaviest one-day movement
through South Rocky Mount was last
ooiiooy, w hSu a cars were handled
the next nearest approach being 19
carloads on Tuesday of this week.
The express shipments this week have
averaged about 500 crates per day, ac-
cord1ng to reports from Business
Agent Bauman at Rocky Mount. The
movement started Saturday a week
ago, with one car, and there were two
on Monday following. This dropped
to one on Tuesday, five on Wednesday.
three on Thursday, five on Friday, and
~ on Saturday, these passing through
Rocky Mount the day following, of
course. The total number of cars
shipped thus far is only ", whereas
last season this date the movement
was very much heavier Prices gen
orally from the Chadbourn section are

at that place Wednesday and was in

not only an orator of first degree, but
thinker, a philosopher of human ma
ture and how to uplift and further it,
and teacher conversant with the
best methods and all the needs of the
hour in rural as we'll as city schools
His talk was just what these Seven

educational needs more keenly appre-
ciated and more generously responded
to in the future.
Superintendent E. T. Atkinson, of
the county, was in attendance, and in
response to unanimous call made, as
he always does, a most excellent off

This school is intended to serve
high school advantages to the bows
and girls of Indian Springs, New
