Tho Child.

The most sacred thing in the com
monwealth and to the commonwealth
is the child, whether 1t be your child
or the child of the dull faced mother of
the howell. The child of the dull faced
mother may. for all you know. be the
most capable child in the state. At its
worst it is capable Of good citizenship
and n useful life If its intelligence be
quickened and trained. Several Of the
strongest personalities that were born
in North Carolina were men whose
very fathers were unknown. We have
all known two such who held high
places in church and state. President
Eliot said a little while ago that the
ablest man that he had known in many
years. connection with Harvard uni
versity was the SOD Of a brick mason.
The child, whether It have poor par.
ents or rich parents, is the most valua-

principal pigments were white chalk,

with copper and charcoal black. The
walls Of Assyrian and Babylonian
dwellings were treated In much the

Trust STEAL.

Under Republican administration
the shoe trust shipped shoes to Eng
land, paid the freight and sold them
to the English merchant at price
that would enable them to realize a
profit in their sale at 81 60 for the
same shoe that is sold in this country
for $500. And other commodities
are sold proportionately. Representa-
tive Kinkead of New Jersey by way of
proving his assertion that American
beef is sold cheaper in Europe than in
this country, read letter to the House
a few days ago from Rev. j. j. Law
renee, of Binghampton, N. Y, saying
that in England recently he bought
both American and Argentine beef at
prices almost so per cent lower than
the prevailing American prices. The
Democrats have the opportunity to
prove their antipathy Of this enormous
steal by the big interest made possible
by high protective tariff, and from
the daily dispatches, it seems that
many radical changes in the tariff
schedule will be affected during the
Wilson administration.

following an illness of two weeks.
For several years Mrs. Rish had been

weeks ago did she take to her bed, and
her death came as great shock and
surprise to her family and friends.
Mrs. Rish was slXty-three years of

and six children, one son. W. A. Rish,
and five daughters, Mrs. Lawton Gar
vim, of Wagener; Mrs. L. @. Dunbar,
Mrs. W. M. Yonce, Mrs. Charlie
Smith and Mrs. Belton Yonce.
The deceased was one of most widely
known and highly beloved woman OF
the Pelion community, and her many
acts of kindness will be handed down
to generations yet unborn. Loving in
her home life, kind and attentive to
those in humble spheres of life, sho
endeared to her large circle of sincere
friendships, and her ath has cast a
pail Of sorrow over lne entire COM
munlty.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at Florence Baptist church,
Of which she was a member, this after
nuou at 3 o'clock in the presence OF !
large assemblage, who attended to
pay last silent tribute to their
friend and benefactress. The funer;t.

the score.
It is No. known wheth ,r he will per-

Advertising The South.

The Atlantic Coast Lines especially
equipped exhibit car left Whining son
Monday night, the 18th, with one or
the very best Southern exhibits that
has ever been sent out. with view to
attract settlers to the Atlantic Coast
Line territory, viz: Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama.
The first stop will be the Canadian
National Exposition, which will be
held at Toronto, August 3rd to Sep
tember 9Th. Then the car will double
back and the exhibit will be displayed
at various fairs in New York State, and
the New England States, until Novem-
ber 1st.
The exhibit consists of sixty three
glass jars of fruits and vegetables;
seventeen glass jars Of grain, peanuts
peas, rice, etc.; fifteen glass jars of
pecan nuts; Georgia and Florida cane
syrup; three large cases of grain in
straw, forage grasses, tobacco, corn,
peanuts and miscellaneous products;
grape fruit, pineapples, watermelons,
sugar baen; twenty small bales Of
different kinds Of hay grown in the
South; cocoanuts; small bale of cot
ton; cotton on the stalk; sweet pota-
toes; corn on the stalk, showing the
prolific varieties with four to six ears
to the stalk.
A great deal of time was consumed
in getting the very best products
grown in the South, and much time
was consumed in preparing and put
ting up this exhibit in an attractive
manner.
A fact which the Southern farmer
should be proud of is that this excep-
tional exhibit was secured from regu-
lar farms and not a single item from
an experimental farm.
In addition to their regular IN atlOn's
Garden Spot'' booklet, they prepared
a very handsome booklet containing
twenty-fiv beautiful agricultural and
horticultural views along the Atlantic
Coast Line, especially for distribution
on this trip.
The exhibit is in charge of two ex-
perienced men who will take special
pains to explain the exhibit and the
conditions in the South to all visitors.
We think this kind of advertising
should certainly attract settlers to this
unexcelled country if they can be at
tracted.

stornach's functions to normal activ-
ity.
Mr.. Rifles experience is especially
Interesting at this time Of the year be-
cause it shows the close relationship
there is between a nervous breakdown
and a neglected cold.
Pe-ru-na should be kept in the home
at all times, that a cold upon its first
appearance may be treated promptly
and successfully. This often saves
money and time, and what is more
important. great deal of vitality.
Mr.. Rifle, Of 75S Gautenbein Ave,
Portland, Ore, writes: II have found
Pe-ru-na a most remarkable medi-
cine for building up the system and
for curing coughs and colds.
II took it for four weeks a few
months ago when I was ali run down,
nervous and deblitated, and it quickly
restored my health.
Il always keep it on hand, as & few
doses will cure cold if taken in time"
People who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Pe-gu-na
