" ROAD DUST REMEDY. "' gm Salt and Sea Water Vied aa a Cheap Method. Consul D. I. Murphy, writing from Bordeaux, says that considerable at tention has been uttriu-ted of late to I he problem of combating road dust, which Is not only Im-onveuieut and un ylcutmnt, but una been found deleterl uua to health. The Medical society of Bordeaux railed atteuthm to the evils arising troin this cause and the number aud nature of diseases directly traceable thereto. Tar seems to have many ad vocates as a layer of dust, but Its use has been found to have some disagree able accompaniments. Sea salt and urn water have been proposed as iheaiMT aud more cilcctive remedies than tar. The Idea of using sea salt Hcems to be based upon IN well known property, especially when In large grains, of absorbing the moisture of the atmosphere. It is this property, It Is claimed, that will dampen the dust and thus prevent its dissemination. Dr. Carl, an eminent chemist of Bor deaux, exploits the merits of sea wa ter. He mentions the fact that when unit extracted from sea water becomes damp it Is because of the Impurities It coutains (pure salt not being hygro scopic), carbonate of magnesium and calcium being the principal Impurities which provoke this liquefaction. It has been suggested that these Halts might be put into the ordinary Mater used for sprinkling the roads. As prepared in the laboratory, how ever, or as found as residuum In the factory, carbonate of magnesium and cahlum have a market value which would make their general use very ex pensive. Dr. Carl points out that these suits abound In sea water, from which if evaporated in great shallow trays by The rays of the sun the different salts cryntallize in order of Insolubility, chloride of sodium being the first to separate, while the others, more sol uble, accumulate In the remaining wa ter. A few quarts of this "mother sea water," having no value, mixed with a ton of ordinary water. Dr. Carl de clares, 'Will be found most efficacious in laying the dust and preventing Its, tllHHcmlnatlou. The expense would seem to be trilling. No disagreeable odors would offend the nostrils and no deleterious effects follow its use. In American places not far from the sea the method advocated by Dr. Carl might he found both inexpensive and beneficial. GREAT NATIONAL HIGHWAY. Enthusiastic Aotolats Plan One Be tween Chicago and .ir York. Dr; Gardiuer S. Cbapln and II. Sar gent Michaels of Chicago arrived re cently at New York after covering In an automobile 3,000 miles seeking a ronte for a national highway between Chicago and New York. They left their city on Sept 13 and since then have been surveying roads, studying the sol) of which they are composed, pho tographing the surrounding country, marking on their maps the location of grave) pita and quarries and gathering material for a presentation to congress of a proposition that the government place Its mark of approval on and give Its aid to the construction of a national highway between the two cities, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Dr. Chapln la a young man of wealth. He Is an enthusiastic automoblllst who does not believe In exceeding the speed limit. He Is not Interested In automo bile races, although he Is much inter ested In the development of the gaso line engine and the storage battery. Be believes that with a highway that will furnish good traveling across half the continent the various states will then concentrate their good roads movements Into providing feeders for that highway and that eventually trav el by automobile will be common be tween distant points and that the farms will be able to assert their Inde pendence of the railroads as gasoline and electric vehicles become cheaper and more fitted to the demands of farmers. Dr. Chapln's trip to New York has provided him with a set of neld notes so complete that ho believes congress cannot fall to be Interested in them.' They Include conditions of soil, grade percentages, location of gravel pits, ' stone' quarries, stone deposits, sugges tions for roads that will feed the main highway and much general Information valuable to road construction experts. Dr. Chapin when he has finished with hi 8 resurvey will present bis maps and materials to representatives in con gress and have the matter taken up in committee. When his plan has the stamp of approval of the government the agitation for a highway will be started In the state legislatures. Practical Illustration of Economy. The following interesting item Is from a personal letter to the editor of the Good Roads Magazine from W. W. Crosby, chief engineer of the Maryland geological survey. As It illustrates In a practical way the economy of an Improved road we take the liberty of printing the extract referred to. It serves to show the farmer what a good road really means: Just aB I opened your letter a caller from Prince George's county came In. Last year we built nearly four miles of road In three different sections of this county, one of which was on the road between Washing ton and Hynttsvllle. My caller tms morn, lne stated In tho course of his conversa tlon that a prominent resident near Hy attevllle told him only the other day that, while this mile which we Improved last vear ifeed to be almost the worst stretch of roaft between his place and the city of Washing-ton. now whenever he sent a load of produce into tne city ne sent oacn to hi farm two horses out of the team aa soon ac It reached the near end of our Improved section. And he was now, he aid. beginning to realise In a more sub stantial and Intimate way man ever oe tan what the Improvement of the ooun try roads according to modern methods (neant to the Individual rarmer. A LESSON WORTH LEARNING. The Importance of Newspaper Adver tising Illustrated W hen All The Hutte Papers Suspended. (Ireenville, S. C, News. Theie are buaiuess uiea even in this day und time who will question the importance aud advantage of newspaper advertising, and it is re markable that some of them are meeting wiih success. The extreme value of printeis' ink to the man who sells goods and to the man who bujs wis emphasized a few days ago by a positive object lesson. A short while ago a strike of printers at Butte, Montana, caused the suspeu sion of all the dally papers of the iity. I his gave the business men and others who hud been accustomed to using newspaper space au oppor tunity to see what un important part the newspaper play in the success of almost anv business. The Duluth Even ng Journal, in speaking of the condi ions resulting from the su-pension of the news paper?, has cue fallowing to say re lative to the efforts of advertisers in trying to overcome the handicap. 'lin y put tht-i; udtei'tiseiiieiits on the Inllbour Is, 6C;it!et'"d tieeiy ne' the city as th'-v are over most cities. I They weie made as strikii g as possi ble, and tie eie changed frequent ly. In iiiid.tion, th- merchants got out dodger and hand' ills and sought 'a) intf:e t tbe public in their bin gain in ili. t uia .tier. With bill Uj.tr.. o in even biocii and with hand bihs distributed o copiously that tliey liticied tbe siree s, the iidver-tiM-uieiits a oi. a pretty g'oi ciioala timi, and probably every citizen ot litie Una was able to rtad had his attention called to the wares that were being advertised. "I'et busilleos t"U off ou every hand. In many instances liu-ichnuts suft'eied losses of SO per ceut. iu business, ami instances ere not rare where the decline amounted to 50 percent. Even the theaters lost 50 per cent, of th ir patronage. "The merchants were unanimous in ascribing this loss of business to the fact that they had no newspapers in which to place their advertising. The lesson not only showed the in efficiency of billboard advertisiL,e, m the conduct of a modem business enterprise." The merchants of Butte are con vinced for ouce and all that there is only one kind of profitable advertis ing, and they do not fall short iu giving due credit to the newspaper space. It pays t) advertise, and the man in business who fails to use printers' ink stands in his own light Not every man who ahvertises suc ceeds, and every man who does not advertise fails in business, but the success or failure of any merchant is in proportion to the amount of judicious advertising which he gives to his besiness. The same conditions that prevailed in the Montana town during the period in which no newspapers were published would be found in Green ville or any other town under simi lar circumstances. COLORED GRADED SCHOOL. School Board Preparing to Arrange Better Accommodations For Pupils. The Grided School Trustees are considering the question of provid ing better accomodation for the colored school children in Asheboro. The quarters now occupied by the co'ored school children are consid ered inadaquate and the board de sires to enlarge and improve the building and equipment. At the meeting held Friday afternoon a committee composed of Messrs. J. A. Spence. Jno. T. Moffitt and S. W. Laughlin, was appointed to inves tigate and report upou a new site aud the estimated cost of removing the old Academy building to the site selected. Mill I'.nlarged. The Pomona Cotton Manufactur ing Company is completing the installation of the new machinery contracted for several mouths ago. It is installing 10,000 spindles and accompanying apparatus, the pre vious equipment having been 10,750 spindles and 330 looms. The com pany's original mill building, two stories nigh and 120x325 feet, has been added to by the erection of a second structure 130x200 feet iu size. The North Carolina Medical Society, at Morehead city Wednes day, selected Winston-Salem as the place for the next annual meeting. L)r J. Howell Way, of Waynesville, was elected president. The Third Commercial and Saving bank has been organized at Burling ton. Jas. W, Murrey, is president an d Lee Fowle, is cashier. The bank will begin business as soon as the Piedmont building is completed. The capital stock paid iu is $10,000. For Labor Commissioner. T. K.

Contributed. For many ypars I have ridiculed the idea of any except t lie old having to wear glasses, but according to some one's theory, the whole human body uudergoes a complete change every Beven years. The old trume wears out and is replaced by a bran new set of bones, muscles, veius, eyes, ears and just a new set of machinery altogether It is reasonable I think that il the physical body wears out and is replaced by another, thai the mental part, the thinking part of us also suffers to some extent by the evolutionary transition. At any rate I see things very differently now from what I once cid, my range of vision is not so clear or compre hensive as it once was. In other words just to come right out and speak plainly I per ceived something a year ago that it required an effort to see to read fine print, or thread a needle My school room last winter bothered me, the windows did not seem to let in sufficient light Sometimes the characters Upon the black bourd assured obscure forms, and sometimes the forms were not very distinct, and often would seem to run together like chickens when you try to count them. The light of truth finally broke upon tny mind, aud I know that without a doubt I was looking upon things of this earth through a glass darkly, and so made up my mind to remedy matteis. I was iu town some time ago, but did not have tin heart togoin where they sell glasses and gtt litied nut, so just waited not for my sight to cmie bank but until a more conven ient season All comes to those who can waii.

I think he does honor to the lugn oltice ne holds The larce crowd had not had such a treat for years, probably not since Vance walked on the rostrum to the strains ol Dixie. On Wednesday we had a great literaiy treat address by Prof. Minis, oi Trinity Col lege, Durham, who held the audienoe enrap tuiedfor some time. Prof. Minis comes more closely to our ideos of a literary man than any one we have seen. As he took his stand before the audiance, we thought of the great men of letters, such as Hawthorne, Taylor, Holmes, Longfellow and others. The whole commencement was decorated and interspersed with music. The decoration by the young men. (if you will take my word) were exceptionally good and they had medals to beat the band, andthe band beat itself, for it was a good band of musicians. On the whole, things passed off very well at old Trinity, and 1907 will compare favorably with most any of the ' Classes." I attended most of the exercises, read my programme all right through my glasses and have gotten used to wearing them now, and they never fall off without I wrinkle my nose. 1 guess I have written enough for this time about my spectacles, after awhile I ex pect 1 will have to have others (other ones) and then possibly, but not probably I will require none at all, and then it will be no longing matter, for the end will be in sight and I will look up and see things through the lens of a tear. Truly ' Aunt Annie" TANK MUST BE MOVED. Railroad W ater Tank Menace to Health of Thomasville. Tliomasville Tinier. Thomasville commissioners have notiGed the railroad to move their water tank out of Thomasville, as it is taking too much water out of the ttream which is causing sickness by some of tbe ponds of water stagnat ing in the bed of tbe creek on ac count of there not being enough water left to make a running stream. Besides, it is causing tbe factories some trouble on account of lack of water supply. Mr. J. T. Grimes foimeily of Thomasville, who recently returned here from South Dakota left Sunday night accompanied by his nephew, Master Paul Hoover, for St, Louis, where Thursday morning he was happily ' married to Mrs. Ella C. Coburn. of Custer City, South Dakota. They will spend a few days in Thomasville as they are enroute to Jamestown. Mr. Cramer Julian left Monday for Annapolis. Md., where he goes to enter the United States iaval Academy. Messrs. Robert Saintsing aud John Grubb, members of Company 58, Heavy Artillery at portress Mon roe, Va., arrived in the city Friday to spend 15 days furlough with home folsk. A I'ainllv Affair. Providence, June 11. Thomas li. Simmon's three children, two daughters and a son, were married last evening at his home.

Puzzle or Missouri Farmers Solved By Inserts' Appearance. Willow Springs, Mo., June 3. Thousands of hogs of Southeast Missouri are fatting on a ciop that was planted 17 years ago a crop of 17-year locusts. Since early spring: tne nogs 01 tne rarmers in tms sec tion have been getting fat on sonie- f thing they found in the woods aud each farmer secretly wondered whose cointirib his pigs had found, for they came home each night notsjueal ing for thair feed, but only to sleep, aud every day they brought home a layer of bacon and lard added to j ineir once leau aim nungry Outiies. TLe "rail spiders" of South Missour and Arkansas were fast being turned mto prize Berkshires and Polands by what or whom the farmers did not know until a few days ago, when the woods were tilled with the song of the 17-year locusts.

As To Stamped Knvelopes. It has been announced by the Department that the United States stamped envelope agency will be moved from Hartford, Conn., to Davton, Ohio., effective July 1st. In consequence of this change there will be some unavoidable delay in furnishing stamped envelopes. There will be a slight increase in the cot of stamped envelopes. Plucky Young Men Working Their Way The old adage that "every man is the architect of his own fortune" lurcelv holds good today, and reward still awaits the young man with pluck and perseverence. this was' illustrated in the case of voting Mr baMn, of Davie county, who graduated the last week at the North Carolina College of Arts at Kaleigh, alter paying his own way through college by working during the ses sions and vacations The article with refer ence to young Mr., Eaton's achievement, copied by The Star Saturday from the Ualeigh News and Observer, was a worthy tribute to him. Speak in c of it. Mr. W." B. Cooper, Wilmington's well known wholesale grocer, who himself knows how a young man can carve his way through the world when he tries, writes The alar: "I notice in this morning's Star and ex tract from the News & Observer about the boy who went through tbe A. & M. College for five years and came out four dollars ahead, after paying his entire expenses by his own efforts. If more could be said aliout that 1 would be glad. I happened to be one of the trustees on the platform at the time, and it certainly made me feel good to see so many lioys being educated by their own exertions "By the way, Dr. Winston tells us that if he had the accommodations he would soon have two thousand boys in the institu tion. 1 believe we only have six from New Hanover county. Of course, I would be only too glad to be of service to any boys in this" county that desire to go." Wilmington Star. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable bj Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon tbe mind, discourages and lessens ambition ; beaut v, vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom moil for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften. if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should lie able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, thecause of thedifli cnlty is kidney trouble, and the first step' should be towards tbe treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamo-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- fv cont mid one-dollar Iff1'' frPl ? bottles.
