human body passes through
the heart once in every two

follows poor blood ; Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood

is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di
gested before it enters the

for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos

everyone in poor health.

MUCH LOVED PASTOR.
Mr. Lambeth Forced to Leave Pulpit on
Account of Nervoui Breakdown.
The resignation of Rev. Wm. Lam
beth, pastor of Homes Memorial
church, at Salisbury, has caused
wide epreud sorrow in that town.
He accepted the pastorate there
last November, fresh from college.
and entering upon his work with a
characteristic arnestness and zeal his
church was soon taxed to its utmost
to accommodate the throng which
sought counsel under his preaching.
Mr Lambeth was compelled to give
up his strenuous work for a time
that he might regain his strength
which suffered through the duties
demanded in strengthening the
cause of his Master.
Mr. Lambeth is a eon of Mr. and
Mrs. F. S. Lambeth, of Thomasville,
and his many friends regret to learn
of his health giving away so early in
life, because he is today one 01 tne
brightest young men of the State.
Why Suffer From Rheumatism?
Why suffer from rheumatism
when one application of Chamber
lain s ram Balm will relieve the
pain? The quick relief which this
liniment affords makes rest and
sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times its cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for a
short relief from suffering have
been happily surprised to find that
after awhile the relief became per
manent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett of
Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. S. A.,
writes. "I am a great sufferer from
rheumatism, all over from head to
foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm
is the only ' thing that will relieve
the pain. For sale by Standard

inclined to make trouble. He was
bound over to court in $100.

SAYINGS OF SUSAN B. AN.
THSOY.
"Who can doubt that when the
representative women of thought
and culture, who are to-day the
moral backbone of our nation, sit in
counsel with the best men of the
country higher conditions will be
the result?"
"I do not agree that we have too
many voters now. Instead of that,
I eay ire have just one half enough,
for a majority of the opinions of all
the people combined is sure to be
better than the opinion of any ore
class. They call it a 'mistake' giv
ing to poor and uneducated men the
right to vote; whereas the greatest
wrongs in our government are per
petuated by rich men,the wire-pulling
agents of the corporations and
monopolies, in which the poor and
the ignorant htve no part."
It is in order to lift the millions,
of our wage-earning women into a
position of as much power over their
own labor as men possess that they
should be invested with the fran
chise. This ought to be done net
only for the sake of justice to the
women, but to the men with wh m
they compete-"
"I nrge all to study the intricate
problems of bettering the world;
not merely the individual sufferings
in it, but the general conditions.
Such studv will show the great need
of a new balance of power in the
body politic; and the canscienti
ous student must arrive at the con
clusion that this will have to be ob
tained by enfranchising a nr.v
class women."
night Thinking and Self-Control.
Zopyrus, the physiognomist, said,
"Socrates' features showed that he
was stupid, brutal, sensual, and ad
dicted to drunkenness." Socrates
upheld the analysis by saying: "By
nature I am addicted to all these
sins, and they were only restrained
and vanquished by the continual
practice of virtue."
Jimerson says, in ettect, "The
virtue you would like to have, as
sume it as already yours, appropri
ate it, enter into the part and live
the character just as the great act
or is absorded in the character of the
part he plays." No matter how
great your weakness or how much
you may regret it, assume steadily
and persistently its opposite until
you acquire the habit of holding
that thought, or of living the thing,
not in its weakness; but in its whole
ness, in its entirety. Hold the
ideal of an efficient faculty or quali
ty, not of a marred, or deficient one.
The way to reach, or to attain to
any thing, is to bend oneself toward
it with all one s might; and we ap
proximate it just in proportion to
the intensity aud the persistency of
our effort to attain it.
If von are inclined to be verv ex
citable aud nervous, if you 'fiy all
to pieces over the least annoyance,
do not waste your time regretting
this weakness, and telling everybody
that you cannot help it. Just as
sume the calm, deliberate, quiet, bal
anced composure, which character
izes your ideal person in that res
pect. Persuade yourself that you
are not nervous or excitable, that
you can control yourself; that you
are well balanced; that you do not
fly off on a tagent at every little an--noyance.
You will be amazed to
see how the perpetual holding of
this serene, calm, quiet attitude will
help you to become like your
thought. O. S. Morden in Suc
cess Magazine.

Do Not Vote.
The Wilmington Dispatch has
the following sensible words to say
which are worthy of considera
tion:
"Do not vote for any man unless
you know his platform. If he ex
pects and asks your vote it is in just
ice to yourself that you know where
he ii at. Won t it be manly for
him to come out and sayes what h
advocates. If he doeBn't give an
opportunity of knowiug which side
he is on don t vote tor mm. lie
careful that he doesn't try to fool you
with subterfuges, or to 'sort soap
you into forget fulness. Let him
tell you his position in plain, posi
tive language and it he dosn't don't
vote for him, for a man wno won t
state his platform doesn't deserve offi
ce and cannot be relied upon if he
obtains it.
"And above all else' don't pledge
vourself in a careless, foolish wav.
Don't pledge yourself at all unless
it be lo get in the race. There is
no necessity for a pledge, save in the
case mentioned, and even then be
careful about that exceptional
pledge. Don't take anything fcr
granted. No matter who the man :s
find out his platform. There is
many a day before the primary, but
be on the alert nevertheless. "Be
warned in time."
If you want blank deeds we have
them. If jou want almost any sort
of a blank we have it.
