Dehorning Calves.
LincOlnton News.

Lncolnton News.
Dehorning is such a simple opera
tion that it is difficult to explain why
it is ever postponed until the calves
are fully grown and necessity arises
for saving them off. To dehorn, Sc
cure u pencil of caustic potash at a
drug store When the calf is three
days old locate the little knot that
indicates the young horn, wet it and
rub with the pencil, held in a gloved
hand. This is all there is to the
operation. 1t constitutes but a few
minutes work and causes no pain to
the animals.

All Wrong.
The Mistake is Made by
MANY Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache
You must cure the kidneys
4 Henderson resident tells you how.
sEugene Thorne Adams Ave, Hender-
on, n. c., says: Il used Doan's Kidney
Pills and must say that they benefited
me more than any other remedy 1 ever
tried. For years I had kidney trouble
and [ suffered almost constantly from
backache and distressing pains in my
loins. Some days l was hardly able to
stand for more than twenty minutes at
a time and | rarely got full nights
got a full nights rest. | took several
| took several kinds OF medicine and also
wore !plasters, but I found no relief.
Doan's Kidney Pills were finally recym-
mended to me and getting box at the
Kerner-McNair Co.'S, Drug Store, began
their use. They removed my aches and
pains and restored me to better health
that | had enjoyed for years. Some
years ago | publicly endorsed Doan' g
Kidney Pills and at this time | am glad
to speak in eheir praise again. The bene-

1t would not be. the part of wisdom
to say that the serious slump on Wall
Street was without any effect what
ever on the local market. 1t did not
count for much, but such a drastic
slide in values as occurred in many
of the leading stocks was more or
less certain to restrict orders in the
local trade.
Gas and Lanston were the only
stocks in which there was any mate
rial trading and here the orders were
very limited.
Gas opened at S8A and closed at
SSh.
Lanston started the session at 96h
and closed at 95A, both somewhat
lower than yesterdays range.

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-Wal Street
was more or less of a bear paradise
during the greater part of the morn
ing session. The bears tested the
market and found it giving way
easily. They renewed the pressure
and each time found nothing in the
way of resistance. For one hour and
half of the second they hammered
away and were surprised at the re-
stricted opposition. Financial inter-
ests did not seem to care whether
values went lower or not. They were
disgusted with antagonism TO busi-
ness shown on the part of Govern
ment officials and representatives;
further chagrined over conditions
abroad that promised to create Lon
don selling, and not inclined to work
for the usual bull demonstration as
an earnest of welcome to J. Pierpont
Morgan.
The one feature of the situation
that can be called encouraging is the
fast extending line of shorts, short
up to their necks and easily turned
to cover on any effort on the part of
the leaders to run them in-saVe
through the possible fear of encoun-
tering actual liquidation on strong
spots. A run in would bring a swift
rally.

English Labor Troubles
Affect Our Interests

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Labor con-
ditions on the other side have be-
gun to affect American business in
terests.
Financial interests are scared over
there and there has been some sell
ing of American securities and two
small failures as a result of a break
in the metals market, P. II. Topham
and A. II. Jay.
The steamer Cedric was to take on
5000 bales of cotton at this port
today for Liverpool, but the order was
Cancelled as 1t would be useless to
make shipments with the present
demoralized condition of transporta-
ton interests in England.
Agents of the Minnehaha and Mine
waska, both American Transport line
steamers, have received notification
that the Liverpool agents have been
forced to cancel freight consign-
ments and to ask exporters not to
count on bookings. The uncertainty
as to sailings is interfering with the
regular traffic between England and
the United States.

In the last half hour before noon the
action, approaching " point on the aver
age. steadied the list. But this surprise
did not last long. While one set Of
shorts got under cover another bunch
of bears were preparing a concerted at
tack. Sold out bulls, disgusted with
the effort to make an honest dollar on
the bull side, turned to the bear fold
and added the pressure OF their SELL
ing to the heavy liquidation, on called
margins Then before noon rise was
checked in a 1iffy, and with the added
pressure and the self-evident fact that
there was no support to the list, prices
again started on rush to lower levels
This time Union Pacific, in the noon
hour reached 1S75s, loss OF points,
Canadian Pacific extended its decline to
5&. Steel to "a, and the whole market
from 2 to points.
There was heavy trading at the do
cline. But most of the buying seemed
to be IN the way of bear covering. and
the selling likewise was accredited chief
ly to bears London pressed many stocks
TO a sale, and the resumption of margin
calling added to liquidation by disgust
ed margin traders.
In the last half of the second hour of
the afternoon there was a slight rally
from the low, with considerable activ-
ity and wide interest in the trading.

Use Salt in Streets
To Settle the Dust

AS a general rule. the roads in and
around French towns are tarred at the
commencement of the summer in order
to abate the dust nuisance. It has,
however, been found that tar, although
excellenta in the case of macadamized
roads, is of little or no value where car
lines exist and paved street crossings
intersect the roads in every direction,
as tarring cannot be carried out on
stones.
The authorities, basing their action on
the well-known hygrometrlcal properties
Of common salt, have made a test of its
value in laying the dust. Twenty yards
OF roadway have been sprinkled liber-
ally with salt, and then watered freely.
II the results are satisfactory salt Will
be used throughout the town CT Havre,
1t being impossible to tar the majority
of the streets, as they are paved with
rough stone blocks.-Consul James Z.
Dunning, HaVre.

in China
Makes Nation Unstable

A commonplace idea is that China is
passing through a period of transition.
To what goal that process may ulti-
mately conduct her no wise man will
venture to predict. But while the pro-
cess lasts the equilibrium Of this vast
and ancient empire seem to be pecu-
liary unstable.
A very slight cause might overset it.
and the consequences of such an over
turn to the peace Of the world would al
most certainly be of an exceedingly
serious kind-London Times.

Too Well Trained.

Fred Lennox, spending the summer
in. Chicago, took a fiat close to a rail-
road, which he surrendered after a
weeks occupancy.
Il think l could become used to the
trains going by in the night" he said,
but every morning at two engines
came under my window and rehearsed
until noon."-Chicago Evening Post.
