RITCHARD'S DECISION MAY
FALL SOON.
The AttorneyGeneral, of the State
Minnesota is np for contempt of
lederal court for trying to enforce
Bute statute as to railroad rates.
The case is now before the Su-
reme Court of the United States.
Mr. Fence in his correspondence
the News & Observer says:
Those who believe in a govern
ment by the people through
the legislatures of the States
may well be shocked at the
gravity and magnitude of the
questions of the great trans
portation companies in this
country are presenting for so
lution. If the Supreme court
of the United States ever takes
the view which is being urged
by railroad attorneys in many
of the States to the effect that
the eleventh amendment to the
Constitution of the United
States is abrogated by the four,
teenth amendment, then while
1a governor of North Carolina
cannot vote an act of the legis.
lature, Judge Pritchard, or any
I other Federal judge, can at the
' instance of some non-resideut
' stockholder of a railroad cum.
pany suspend and in effect re
, peal State legislation. The Su
preme court of the United States
has never, in any opinion, inti
mated that it would go to this
extent, and it cannot adopt the
j railroad view without overturn
'ing its own decisions and :e
I pealing the eleventh amend
ment to the Constitution.
I Nothing was said in the argu-
merit that indicated the court
would take the railroad view
of the question presented.
Judge Harlan, who ha3 written
the opinions in most of the cases
since he has been on the bench,
! which involved the question of
ithe State rights, submitted
imany questions to counsel upon
the argument which I regarded
as indicating that his attitude
upon this question had not
changed."
INCREASED PENSIONS.

.tion of all the children of the
;ate, and the caring for the insane

WANTS IN GOD WE TRUST ON
COIN.
By order of President Roosevelt
the motto "In God We Trust" was
left off of our coin money. When
the President was asked the reason
for this, his reply was what has
God to do with our coins?
God is recognized in our constitu
tion and in our laws and many
think he should be recognized on
the money of a great christian na
tion. During the recent session of
North Carolina Conference of the
M. E. Church South at New Bern,
Rev. M. T. Plyler offered & resolu
lutiou regretting that tbe motto,
"In God We Trust," had been
removed from the gold ten dollar
coin and memorializing Congress to
enact a law to restore it. After
much discussion, and a slight
change it was adopted with three
dissenting votes.

0 NOT KNOW WHAT
AUSES SICKNESS
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief.
Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question la becom
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent npon it.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re
markable success In the sale of his
new medicine, believes that th9 stom
ach Is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ la weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: "I am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever I have Introduced It My
answer always is, 'because It restores
the stomach to a normal condition.'
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most of the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. I have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew Indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plaint, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung 'trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint ia 'all run
down,' or 'tired all the time or "no
appetite.' "
"I know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My
New Discovery puts the stomach in
sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be Blcfc with a
sound digestion. That is why my me
lclne is selling at such a tremendous
rate. I have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
so, and the number is growing bj;
leaps and bounds."
Among more recent converts to Mr.
Cooper's beliefs is Mr. Edgar L. Hinds,
living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett,
Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to say on
the subject:
"I have suffered with stomach
trouble for elsht years. I was not sick
enough to be in bed, but just felt bad
all the time. My greatest trouble was
that I always felt tired, would get up
in the morning feeling as tired as
when I went to bed.
"I had a very irregular appetite, and
was troubled with dizzy spells. If I
stood for any length of time, I would
have a dull pain in the lower part of
my back. I was nervous and felt all
the time as though something terrible
was going to happen. I tried many
kinds of medicine, but nothing ever
helped me.
"I had about given up all hope oi
ever being in good health again, when
I heard so much of Cooper and de
elded to try his medicine. I took one
bottle of his New Discovery and vtob
greatly surprised at the result I
gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. I
can now eat anything I wish, and feel
like a new man. I cheerfully recom
mend this medicine to all sufferers
from stomach trouble."
It is worth anyone's time, who ia not
enjoying good health, to learn of Mr.
Cooper's wonderful preparations. We
are celling them lu large auantitlea.
