DEyOUNo1NG MEDICINES

Wholesale denunciatlon of proprl-

than Wholesale denunciation OF the
medical profession. 1t Is no more
true that there are reputable physi-

lives to an unending struggle with
disease than that there are standard
remedies which do as good a work;
often where the work Of the good

The InstaIlment Auto.

"Wonder how he can afford it?''
Ever hear that question asked
as some man whose bank account
is of doubtful proportions was
seen speeding by in an automo-
bile? Hundreds of times, no
doubt. 1t is probably a fact that
in all communities there are men
who have fallen into the tempta-
tion to buy an automobile who
are not financially able to make
the purchase or to meet the up
keep OF the machine. Heretofore
the automobile whether as luxury
or necessity, has been one article
for whose ownership there was
demanded cash payment. When
a man would speak of his Gear"
it might be put down as a Ger
tainty that he had parted with
the price OF the machine-had
raised the money by hook or
crook. There might have been a
mortgage on his house, bnt there
was none on the machine. And
now we are to have the automo-
bile on the installment plan. At
least, the experiment has been
launched by some makers in the
North. The Observer prefers to
speak of it as an experiment be-
cause it believes it will not go be-
yond that point. The plan to
buy an automobile on the IN
stallment plan would offer too
great an inducement for induI-
gence in extravaganza. 1t would
open the way to trouble for a
class little able to resist the temp
tation. 1t looks like an easy
proposition to pay down a sum
of money and become owner of a
machine against the simple con-
tingency of having to surrender
it in case of failure to make a
payment, but many people, al
ready loaded up with installment
obligations for building and loan
assessments, perhaps, or for
household furnishings and other
necessities, would "fall" to it to
their sorrow. The installnent
plan for the purchase ofautomo-
bile would be anything butan en-
couragement to thrift.-Char-
lotte Observer.

Letter from Mr.. ]. c. Whi .tington.

Mr.. j. c. Wilmington, of Myr-
tie Point, Oregon, a Wataugan
of Eye olden time" in remitting
for his paper writes:
l have just returned from a
trip to Southern California. l
left home on the 4th day of last
November and went by steamer
to San Francisco. We had a very
rough trip down, but l did not
get sea sick as a great many do.
l spent three days on the grounds
of the Panama Exposition ta-
king..ln the sights, which We e
grand. There was all kinds of
mineral and agricultural prod
ucts, with all kinds of machinery
and works of art, and almost ev-
erything person could think of.
After taking in the Fair l pro-
ceeded on to Southern c California,
where [ spent the winter in the
town of Pomona, where two of
my sisters have lived for quite a
number of years. l liked the coun-
try pretty well but man would
have to have a lot of money to
locate there, as land is very high
in that part Of the country, be-
ing worth from one thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars per acre.
The most OF the land is in orch
ards, such as oranges, lemons,
peaches and prunes, consequent
ly all lands are very high. We
had very bad weather tor that
country this winter. 1t rained
more through January than it
generally does through the entire
season. They had 23 inches of
rain and 1S inches of it January,
and one snow storm, when en-
ough fell to make the ground
white, but it melted off soon al
ter it fell. In order to protect
their fruit from the frost, t h e y
burn oil in pots under the trees
on cold mornings, the heat of
which will raise the temperature
several degrees which prevents
the fruit from freezing.

To Develop Blowing Rock Hotel On A Big
Scale In Near Future.

In the near future the Blowing
Rock Hotel at Blowing Rock will
be organized into a Joint stock
company and active efort will be
put behind a proposition to de-
velop it into one OF the greatest
resort hotels in the mountains OF
Western North Carolina. A num-
ber of interested parties held a
meeting at Hickory last week,
however, they have not issued
any statement yet.
Mr.. George E. Moore, who for
the past several years has had
charge of the hotel, was at home
this Meek from Arkansas, where
he has been during the winter
months. Mr.. Moore is closely
connected with the financial side
of this hotel and he says that the
idea in organizing a big stock
company is to get more money
behind the proposition and de-
velop it to it's full capacity. 1t
is probable that a new and mod
ern hotel building would be built.
A golf course would be built and
everything else thatgoes to make
up modern esortproperty would
be added.
The Blowing Rock Hotel is an
evcellent building as it is and will
accommodate a great number OF
guests, but the idea is to build a
much larger building and equip
it with all modern conveniences.
The new building will be built on
the same site where the old bull
ding now stands.-Lenoir News.
