Taking CalOmel Means Staying Home
For the Day-Take DOdsOn's Liver
Tone and Save a Days Work.

If an attack of constipation or bill
iousness hits you, there's no need to
take a dose of calomel and spend at
least day getting over the effects of
it. The Howell-Prather Pharmacy sells
the liver tonic, Dodson's LiverTone,
that takes the place of calomel and
starts lazy liver without any bad
after-effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel ever did, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that will relieve constipa-
tion or sour stomach or other troubles
that go along with lazy liver, with
out restriction of habit or diet. You
don't leave off any of the things you
regularly do when you take Dodson's
Liver Tone.
The Howell-Prather Pharmacy sells
Dodson's Liver Tone and gives it a
strong personal guarantee. They say,
"A large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
sells for so cents, and We will hand
any person back his so cents If he
tries a bottle and doesn't say that il
does all that ca'omel ever does and
does it pleasantly. Get the genuine
Dodsons Liver Tone and il you are not
pleased with it we will give your
money back with a smile"

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE READY

The public schools Of Americas ar:
ready for the opening of the fall term
which begins here Monday. Prepare
tons have been completed and assur-
ance has already been given that the
ATTENDANCE at the fall tern of the
schools will be the largest that has
ever been known.
Notwithstanding the fact that addi-
tional school room space has not been
provided for the fall term the schools
will open in the old buildings, contin-
uing their work under this handicap
until the new buildings are provided.
The fact that the new buildings will
be ready another year, if not before,
will serve as a stimulus for the teach
ers to make the best of their rather
cramped quarters until better AMI
more roomy ones are provided.
The school year will begin most aus
piciously in the public schools in all
departments. The faculties in large
measure remain unchanged. The few
teachers who have been secured to
fill the vacancies that occurred at the
close of last term will serve to infuse
new blood into the teaching force
without bringing in too many new
teachers. The entire school system
will again be under the supervision OF
Mathis, who so effec
lively directed the work last year and
during many years prior to that time.
Americas has due cause to
feel much qualification as the opening
of the schools will be in capable and
faithful hands, and the results cannot
be otherwise than most satisfactory.
United cooperation should be given
to all the teachers in their work.

Luther Burbank, by experience and

men is in agriculture. He points OUT
that after the young man has spent
eight years at hard study of medicine.
the law or engineering, he has not
made a success he is only prepared to
commence the battle for it. Whereas,
to add one kernel of corn to each ear
grown in this country in a single year
would increase the supply 100000
bushels. One Improvement in the pc
tato is already paying back $17000,000
year Everything we eat and wear
comes out of the ground With less
than half our population raising things
should there be any wonder that the
cost of living has increased 50 per
cent. in fifteen years. To quote from
Mr.. Burbank:
| GU'ha+ tho world needS uroent1y and
now, is men who can increase the 70 =
age from our present acreage so that
16 cents will buy pound of the choic
est sirloin, as Of old, instead of 6
pound of rump as now.
What the world needs is not theory
or agitation, or college lore; there ar,
plenty of these, and at cost of $3.50,
100000 per annum in money, and VIII
knows how much time, they have sue
ceeded in increasing our crop yiel'

All the long August afternoon
The little drowsy stream
Whispers a melancholy tune,
AS if it dreamed of June,
And whispered in its dream.
The thistles show beyond the brook
Dust on their down and bloom,
And out of many a weed-grown nook
The aster flowers look
With eyes of tender gloom.
The silent orchard aisles are sweet
With smell of ripening fruit;
Through the sere grass, in shy retreat
Flutter, at coming feet,
The robins strange and mute.
There is no wind to stir the leaves,
The harsh leaves overhead;
Only the querulous cricket grieves
And shrilling locust weaves
A song of summer dead

Natal Mercury


Mr.. N. B. Stewart, the United States
consul, about week ago received a
cable from the Department of State,
Washington, advising him of his pro-
motion to the post of consul in Milan,
the most important city in Italy. While
Genoa is the principal port, Milan,
with it's population of over half a mil
lion Second only to Naples, with its
100000, and the silk, dairying, and
other trades, is the centre of the COM
mercial life of re-awakened Italy. As
Mr.. Stewart will be leaving Durham By
to-morrows mail boat, an opportunity
was taken of interviewing him, with Il
view of finding out who would be his
successor, and who would act in the
interregnum. Mr.. Stewart does not
know who has been appointed to Dur
ban, but said there was no doubt that
at the same time as his cabled instruc-
tions were sent some other member Of
the Consular Service was advised to
proceed to this town and take over the
duties he was laying down And for
the present Mr.. Hood, the vice-consul,
would act
Speaking of Mr., Stewart himself, he
is rather an anomaly in the Consular
Service of his country, as, unlike in the
old days, his whole training has been
one fitting him to hold the varied posts
to which he has been appointed from
time to time. He is a graduate of the
/ University of Georgia, and studied law
in the George Washington Universitq
Law School. Immediately after leav-
ing college in 1898, he received an APP
pointment at Washington, and stayed
there for some six years, serving in
both the Navy and Army Departments
after which he was three-and-a-hal:
years in Cuba, under the War Depart
ment. in the engineering department o.
the City of Havana When Mr.. Stew
art first went to Cuba the death rate
was AZ per 1000, but, thanks to tbs
stringent regulations promulgated By
the United States Government, and
carried out by the Engineering Corps
backed up by the army, that rate drop
ped to IS per 1000 before the time
came for him to leave. The first years
of occupation of the island were spent
in public works, including roads, pub
lie bildings, schools, and sanitary
works of all kinds.
When the American occupation OF
Cuba closed in 1902, MIR. Stewart was
appointed provincial treasurer in the
Philippine Islands, where he stayed
nearly five years. He says it is the
prettiest country he ever looked on
warmer than Durham, with a tropical
luxuriance of vegetation. It's oppor-
tunities he described as being great
both in timber and minerals and the
products of the soil.
In 1906, when President Roosevelt
issued an executive order extending
the Civil Service principles of employ
ment to the Consular Service, Mr.

NATHANIEL B. STEWART
Sketch of the Varied Career of the American Consul Re
Gently Promoted from Natal to Milan

Stewart sent in his application for
transfer. In due course, some two
days before the time set, he received
notice to attend the examination for
entering that Service, when he was ~.
900 miles away from the examination
room. On representations being made,
he was allowed to sit later, and pass
ed. The executive order of President
Roosevelt President Wilson has just
confirmed, for only a month ago Sec
rotary Bryan was authorized to issue
the following statement on the subject:
THE Civil Service was extended to
the Consular Service, and the Presi~
dent believes that consular appoint
ments should be made upon examina-
ton and that promotions should be
made upon merit. If vacancies occur
they will be filled from within the
Service where this can be done with
out injury to the Service. If vacancy
occurs in one of the higher positions,
and he does not at the time find within
the Service a person entirely qualified
to fill such position, he will feel at
liberty to exercise the right vested in
him to suspend the Executive order in
respect to that particular appointment,
but such an appointment will be al
exception to the rule, and will be made
only when he is convinced that the
good of the Service clearly requires
such an exception"
| These are simple republican rules
that the place is open to the man WITH
service and merit.
Mr.. Stewards first consular appoint
ment was to Castellamare di Stabia,
situated near Vesuvius, and crowded
with the associations of classical lore.
Within the year, however, he was NOV
ed to Madras, but only to stay two
years and half, being promoted to
Durham On Dec. 10, 1910. He is leaving
Durham with many regrets, because
here he has found nothing but the
kindest hospitality, as both Mrs. Ste
wart and himself have been made to
| feel themselves quite at home. He
thinks that Durham has a splendid eli
mate, and that it is a delightful place
from every point of view AS he says,
HE leaves us with regrets, although ii
means big promotion for him to go to
Milan.
Mr.. Stewart is cultured scholar,
reading most Of the Latin languages,
and speaking Spanish f1uently while in
| Italian, although he does not claim to
be an expert in the tongue he can
make himself understood we'll enough
for the man in the street. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be back some day,
but it will probably be only on visit.
