The rich prairie and Salt River bot,
toms being abundantly productive
and good crop is a certainty un-
der anything like weather condi-
tions, and aside from being good
farming and stock raising section.
it has vast resources of timber,
coal. potter's clay, shole, the best of
limestone and cement rock. sand,
gravel and as good clay as can be
found for brick and tile, and then
plenty of water in Salt River to de
velop all the electric power-and
more that could be used with
profit. All these reources are beg
eing for development and thereby
give work to many people and
place the products on the markets
of the world for the use of the mil
lions. How to develop? Investi-
gate.
In the Democrat of Feb. 18th
was a few suggestions made by Ed
Kieffer of Rails County. Mr.. Kieffer
is a practical man in this kind of
work and in the article were words
of wisdom along the lines of de-
velopment. A suggestion, yes, we
may truthfully say, prophecy
that some day will materialize.
Why not begin to investigate now?
He struck the key note when he
said an Interurban would turn the
trick. What does Interurban
mean? 1t means transportation.
not only for passengers, but to
transport the productions of this
rich country to the railroads, thence
to the worlds markets 1t has been
suggested in the columns of the
Democrat that Salt River be
harnessed. This is not only reason
able and practical. but it could
easily be done. The Interurban
could get the juice or power from
this ever flowing stream at very
small cost The same plant would
also furnish all the electricity that
could be used for all other purposes
in this vicinity. Many such rivers
have been harnessed and furnish
cheap power. Why not Salt River'

has written a letter which follows.
Read it. Hats off to such men as
Mr.. Keiffer and DR.. Scott and all
others having this spirit of develop

ment, a little cooperation, the en-
terprise is bound to succeed. Let
: US make the effort. These latent
resources are going to be developed
sooner or later Why not 90 into
the developing business ourselves

of boosting. Talk development,

II Abe Had Happened In.

Had good old Abe Lincoln hap
pened in at his celebration at St.
Louis the other day and witnessed
the thousand hungry patriots devot-
ing all their talk to politics, rich
food and beer, he would have told
the gang instead of trying to stir up
war and encourage anarchy and
distrust, and they would better
serve their country by conseline
peace and good will to man.

GAS, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour
gassy stomachs in Five
minutes-Time 1t!

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuab BILE; you mustn't injure it.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
It's millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
troubles has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a large
fifty-cent case from any dealer and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; if
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa-
lions of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. It's prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is a reve-
lation to those who try it.-Adv.

New York state, Indiana, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia Virginia, West
Virginia and all parts of North Caro-
lima were on exhibition at this show.
While the management does not
claim the show to be the largest in
the state it does claim it to be the
best in quality. This being the official
show and held under the rules of the
American Poultry Association all gold
medals and other specials offered by
the American Poultry Association
were competed for. Judges who pass.

tied are prominent in poultry circles

KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys anc

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.

MORE POTASH COMING.

American crops and soils are still as
hungry for Potash as before the out
break of the European War, which
curtailed the Potash Shipments
Some Of the Fertilizer Companies
are trying to induce farmers to buy
the One-siGed low Potash or no Potash
fertilizers of generation ago. This
means a fertilizer that is profitable to
the manufacturer, but not the best for
the farmer. When the Syndicate in
1910 started the direct sales of Potash
to dealers and farmers at reasonable
prices, Potash sales increased IS per
cent. in one year, a clear proof that
farmers know that Potash Pays, They
know that Potash gives good yields,
good quality and resistance to plant
diseases
Many of the Fertilizer Manufacture
ers are willing to meet the farmers
wishes and sell him what he thinks he
needs. These manufacturers are now
willing to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer goods with
per cent, and even in some cases 10
per cent. Potash, if the farmers insist
on it,
Shipping conditions are improving,
more Potash is coming forward al
though the costs of production and
transportation are higher. The higher
price of fertilizers is not due wholly
to the slightly higher cost of Potash.
Much of the Potash that will be used
in next springs fertilizer had reached
America before the war started.
There is no substitute for Potash.
We can no more return to the fer
t1llzer of twenty years ago than we

Great Fight Against Tuberculosis.
The North Carolina state board of
health has received from the Proxim-
ity Manufacturing Company Of Green's
boro assurances that if the state will
adopt the plan of the state board for
the campaign against tuberculosis in
his state and make the financial ap-
preparation necessary for a start in
that direction as urged by the board,
the Proximity company will come to
the financial aid of the undertaking in
a substantial way; also that there is
every likelihood that others of the
larger corporations will respond.
DR.. w. S. Rankin, secretary of the
state board says during the past few
months numbers of patients have had
their expenses at the state sanitorium
paid by the Presbyterian, Episcopal
and Baptist churches in various parts
of the state and by the Thompson Or
phanage, Junior Order United Ameri-
can Mechanics, Knights of Pytha1s,
Odd Fellows, Masons and other organ
cations. A number of contributions
and one legacy have been received
from a western Carolina lady. All
these show that interest is growing
all over the state In regard to this
work.
