That's the Way to Pronounce HyOmei
the MOney-Back Catarrh Cure.


AS doubt exists in the minds of
many readers of The Press let us say
that the above is the proper pronounce
alton of Americas most wonderful
oatarrh cure Anders Jacobsen is
the agent for Hyomei in Stafford, and
he will sell you an inhaler, a bottle
of Hyomei, and full instructions for
use, for only 81 CO. And If it fails
to cure acute or chronic catRrrh,
asthma, bronchitis, oroup. hay fever
or coughs and colds, he will give you
your money back. The person who
suffers from catarrh after such an
offer as that. must like to shuttle,
spit and wheeze, and be generally dis.
gusting.
Read what Mr.. G. F. Lowe says:
81 have used Hyomei for a case of
nasal catarrh which had bothered me
for a long time. I can say that
Hyomei killed the germs of the
disease and gave me the much sought
and needed relief. From this ex-
perienoe I know Hyomei to be reli-
able remedy, and give it the praise
and recommendation that it de-
serves. &c. F. Lowe, r. F. D. No.

Model Farms of Carr and Duke.
Charlotte Chronicle,

tHIoultitI
Just east Of Hillsboro is the fa-
nous Occoneechee Farm, the proper
ty of Mrs. Julian S. Carr. The Gpner-
al built it and equipped it. and il is
popularity known as his farm. but
Mrs. Carr owns it. and is RESPONSE
BILE for the beauty OF the landscape,
its buildings. its tiehls and it's prod
nets. Oceoneeehee is famous for it's
fine cattle, its grain, it's grasses and
it's fruits. Mrs Carr fluids it most
attractive place as a summer resi-
dence and life there must be OF the
ideal sort. 4 few miles further east,
near University Station, is the farm
of the Dukes, and it. too, gives evil
dence of what a transformation can
be made in North Carolina soil
through money and the application
of scientific agricultural principles.
Dukes corn is as hi Oh as II fence rail
and as thick as oats. The wooded
tracts are sown in bluegrass and so
thoroughly is the farm put down in
peas, clover and grasses. that n
weeks steady rain would not muddy
the waters of the streams that flow
through it.
OF course the outlay of money on
these two farms has been immense
and during the process OF bringing
them to perfection no profits were
returned. but the haste expenditures
having been passed, they are re-
turning handsome cash dividends to
their owners. The horses and cattle
on these farms are housed in struct-
ures that would be envied as resi-
dences by many well-to-do people.

Going too Rapid a Pace.

Commenting on the independent
condition of the farmer, declaring
that many of them have mon
es in the bank, the Greensboro
Record draws a comparison between
the country man and the town man
and says:
The farmer gets fine prices; he is up
with the sun, makes hay whether the
sun shines or not, while the denizens
of the towns, big and little, try to
see how fast they can live and how
much they can spend. We must
keep up with the latest styles OF
dress, know how to play bridge
whist and all the other games; give
entertainments, receptions and the
rest every week or two, while in the
summer we must hike out TO some
fashionable watering place where
new and expensive clothing must be
used; dance all night and blow in
what we have. Extravaganza in liv-
ing has much to do with the country
but it does not affect the country
man like the man in town. We are
living too dog-gone fast and it is
costing too much. You may sJuirm
but it is true

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.
The Democratic Principle on State
Prohibition, as on all Else.
Raleigh State Democrat.

Raleigh State Democrat.
A friend writes us that he is anx-
ious to see what position The State
Democrat will take on State prohibit
ton. This paper, as before declared,
believes in local self-government, and
these principles must apply to pro-
hibition just as to all other matters
upon which the people are to decide
by their votes. 1t has been the
opinion of the writer for years that
the open saloon was the most OBJ
jectionable and vicious institution in
the land for the dispensing of whis-
key, and ought not to exist outside
of large cities. We believe this now.
And what is more, if we are not great
ly mistaken, State prohibition is the
most dismal failure that ever we'll
meaning people resorted to for the
suppression or even for the modifi-
cation OF the whiskey business. The
thing to hope for is, that our pc ople
shall come back to the old Demo-
cratic position-there is none better
and let each county in our State
settle this matter for itself, in &C.
cOrdance with the best interest OF all
concerned. If the above throws any
light upon our ideas in this matter,
our friend is welcome to it.

Other Things Beside ''Tar, Pitch
and Turpentine."
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
"North Carolina is noted for it's
tar, pitch and turpentine." How alb
sured! Yet that was what was learned
from the biographies 80 years ago
descriptive of the State. "North Car
DINA is noted for it's manufactures Of
iron, cotton, wool, woods and other
raw materials" would be a laconic
description of the State today. North
Carolina is not only gaining in repu-
tation as an agricultural State, but
is forging to the front as one of
the most important manufacturing
States in the Union. There is scarce
~ a town between Charlotte and
Clayton, distance of 1S9 miles, that
has not a factory of some sort. These
factories make all kinds of woven and
knitted cotton goods, all grades of
furniture, boilers and engines, cleo
trio street cars, wagons and buggies,
plows and other farming implements,
-four, fertilizer, tobacco, corn and cot
ton seed meal, oil, ornamental and
building marble and granite, brick,
tile and terra Gotta and good
many other classes of manufacture.
All these manufacturing plants are
in full blast and apparently enjoying
