Draper, N C.-Mrs. Helen Dalton, oi this place, says: "I suffered for years. with pains in my left side, and would often almost smother to death.
 Medicines patched me up for awhile but then would get worse again. Final ly, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the wcman's tonic, so he bought me a bottle and began using it.. It did me more good than all the medi- cines had taken.
 have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they all say they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. believe it is a good medicine for all womanly trou- bleS."
 For over 50 years, Cardui has been re- ieving woman's sufferings and building weak women up to health and strength.

The Marked Tree Gazette has a new plan for settling our legis- lative, or rather our legislator, difficulties. It says:
 "The only way to get a good legislator that will be of some real benefit to the state is to linn it the session to 30 days and pay the man $25 a day. Good talent ed men, able to pass state laws of value, cannot afford to give their time for $6 per and pay their own expenses, therefore they do not offer for the legisla- ture. Raise the salary, cut the time limit, and new seed will at once spring into prominence"

Safety in Friendship,

An intimate friendship is at once safeguard in recreation and social enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be. fore he plunges into surroundings which he knows his best friend would condemn. It Is a stimulus, because In work or business, or even play, a man does not willingly lag behind while the friend is forging ahead. In common endeavors for good causes, religious or social or political, friend ship is a powerful inducement to self. activity.

If they are darker than the hair, their own. CT will be passionate but inconsist- ent in love: if lighter, they reveal a weak disposition.

Treating Symptoms.

A man went up kingman street, YES
terday, picking up papers in the street
and putting them in bag. He had a
bag full. Presumably he was city EN-.
ploye. 1t seemed good to see that some
one in power realized that the street
was dirty, and that there was some
effort being made to clean it up. But
there was feeling of compassion for
the man who was doing the picking up.
He was like a man who was trying to
hold back the tide of the ocean. His
work would last for the moment only.
His efforts were wellnigh useless. Why?
Because he was not getting at the bot
tom of the trouble. He was treating
symptom only, and any medico will say
that it is unwise to treat symptoms
only. The supply of the waste paper is
still on hand waiting only the wind to
wihrl it out into the streets. Then
will the man be back az his work againi
Why not put him at the start where
he will do some goodf Had he looked
to the right of him as he was half way
up the street he would haye seen one
source of supply, only an intermediate
source to be sure, but still il is worthy
Of attention. But he kept his eye TO
the ground and plodded ahead. That
isn't the way TO cure this trouble. Some
thing beside the symptoms win have 20
be treGted.-St Adams Messenger.

The automobile, which has come to stay,

MATTRESSES. For Plate Glass.

Is, for instance, the mattress that is

Of plate glass In safety. These wagon
mattresses are made OF curled hair.
They are Of a thickness scarcely great
er than that Of the coverlet that is
known as comfortable" The ex-
lgencies OF plate glass transportation
require that these mattresses be con-
structed with exceeding care. mas

the mattress might prove sufficient to
cause the breakage of the glass that
rests upon it In the event Of two
plates OF glass resting upon that lump

glass mattresses cost. according to
size, from SEQ to $15. The mere remak-

WILSON STAYING on THE JOB.

President Wilson announces that for
the first year he will not accept invita-
tons outside of Washington, leaving the
inference that he is going to attend
strictly to business during the early
months of his presidency 1t is posi-
ton well taken by man who is new
to Washington life, as well as new to
the office of president. A consider
able time will be required even by
man of great power of adaptibility to
become familiar with the duties ami
the countless minor demands made upon
the president of the United States; and
Wilson, though far above the average in
power of adapting oneself, win require
months to get settled in the routine of
the Office. Moreover, the country can
wait time before demanding that the
president make himself familiar with
the particular localities and the special
needs of localities. Therefore, there will
be quite general accord with President
Wilson's expressed determination TO stay
on the job in Washington for a year.

For the good of great number OF
small investors who are not in posi-
tion to stand financial loss, for the eff
cheney Of churcl Is, schools, colleges, etc.
and for the well-being Of the financial
circles of the eastern section of the
country, it is to be hoped that the I'M
fortunate situation in which the Boston
& Maine railroad finds itself will be rem
edied within reasonable time Until
the present furry came up, the general
public did not realize to what an ex-
tent the people are the owners Of the
great railroad system. We are apt to
look upon great railroad system as
a huge corporation and we fail to take
cognizance of the fact that the shares
of stock back of that corporation have
been purchased by individuals and or
CARNATIONS of limited means, who are
seeking safe investment for their
small earnings. The great corporations
have individual souls back of them even
though, as in popular parlance, the cor
poration itself may be without soul.

During recent trial Of respondents in
an alleged mining swindle, great EN-.
phasis was laid on the fact that the re-
spondents bore honored names and that
consequently those names should not be
smirched by jury decision in court of
justice. If that sort of plea had pre-
vailed, we would have seen great rush
Of real criminals to change their names
to Washington, Lincoln, etc, so that
they might use those names as shield
against the day of their capture. 1t is
weak argument to appeal to the jury
not to smirch an honored name, albeit
such an argument sometimes has its ef-
feet on jury, unfortunate as that Is.

State Owned Railways.

In view Of the constantly recurring
suggestions from diverse sources, and
sometimes from unexpected quarters
concerning the advisability of govern
ment-owned railways, the statistics com
piled by the information department OF
the Prussian state railways, and pub
lished in the Daily Consular and Trade
Reports, are OF considerable interest.
OF the total railway mileage in the
world about 70 per cent. is owned by
private companies, and of the remain
ing 80 per cent. about one-fourth is
operated by private companies, though
owned by government. There are $780,.
62l miles of railway in the world, 45l,-
1868 miles owned by private companies
and lss,25S owned by governments.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
by Prof. Stephenson Of the London
school Of economics that "a large por-
ton OF the worlds railways now owned
by companies will in course of time an
tomatically pass to the state, as in
France, for instance, where in less than
so wears the concessions to the compan-
les will expire and the great railway
systems become state property. Many
of the South American railways will in
time pass to the state in similar way.
In Mexico the government has control
ing interest in the national railways,
a combination OF systems nearly 5000
miles in length"
Government ownership of railways Is
relatively larger in Germany, Austria,
Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Dem
mark, Norway, Rumania and Bulgaria
than in other European countries. There
are no government -owned railways in
the United Kingdom, Spain, Greece or
Turkey, or in this country.
More interesting than these facts
would be some statistcs-not given by
the Prussian notwithstanding wheth-
sr more persons are killed, whether
trains are faster, whether rates are
over and whether the service in gen
,ral il more satisfactory to the public
IN government owned than on company |
,wned railways Globe.

The Laws Delay.

Complaints of the laws delay in this
country are oft accompanied by refer
ences to the celebrity Of the courts in
Great Britain, yet the representatives OF
the creditors Of printer who went
through bankruptcy in London " years
ago were pleasantly surprised recently
when they received a dividend from his
estate.
Even this record was surpassed in
1908.
On Dec. Is of that year the Dublin
Gazette published notification that "a
considerable sum of money belonging
to the estate of Robert Smith of Smcck
Alley, who was adjudged bankrupt in
1907, has been recovered from the DOR
mant funds of the court of chancery"
Ultimately Smiths debts were paid in
full--ll2 years after he had filed his Pc
tition.
