Furniture manufacturing is one of North Carolina’s chief industries. High Point alone boasts over 60 factories. In that hustling town every grade of furniture is manufactured. Thomas- ville is another growing furniture man ufacturing center. It makes chairs enough to seat the universe. Nor is l.exington to be left out in the cate gory. And then all over the state there are towns such as Morganton, Lenoir, StatesMlle, etc., which have several plants. Time ^as when we bought our household effects from Grand Rapids. They cost more, too, for to the cost of production it was necessary to add the cost of shipment over a long dis- rance. Time was also when the bulk of rough lumber produced in North (’arolina was shipped out of the state to bo manufactured into finislif'd goods. Other localities thereby shared the I'rotit?.

As there is often some one In your family who suffers an attack of Indi gestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don’t j’ou keep some Dia- pepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing w’ill digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes af ter.

Sour Stomach. _ Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as r.clching of Gas, f^ructations of sour, undigested food Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dys- r-epsia or an out-of-order stomach iwth tiie common, every-day cures advertis ed that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervcusnfss, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no dou1)t, is a serious mis take. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it fer ments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which jtutrefy in ihc digestive tract and intestines, and. I'.eside'^. poison the breath with nau seous odors. A hearty a])petite. with thorough di gestion. and without the slightest dis- C(Miifort or misery of the Stomach, is waitin.g for you as soon as you decide to try Pape’s DIapepsin.

N. C., March 18, 1911. "Mr. Jake F. Newell, ‘‘Charlotte, N. C. “My Dear Mr. Newell;—Your letter of the 17th instant addressed to me and published in the Charlotte;^ Ob server, has been noted, though the original has not at this writing reach ed me. “I have scant inclination to sympa thize with you in public over your ‘sore toe' but for the reason that s^veial other gentlemen of equal par ty service and legal learning as your self are interested in the assistant district attorneyship. I deem it in cumbent to state for their benefit, as v>ell as yours, that your grievance at being left ‘in the oblivion of the. outer darkness that reigns beyond the circle of your confidence' is eniirel; unfounded and without warrant. "iou assume that the appointment of .Nlr. Price as Assistant District At torney is imminerit and that I knew it when taJkt-ng with you ou Wednes day last. “As a tnatter of fact, the knowledge im.parted in yotir letter is altogether new» to me and, if any change in the office is contemplated, 1 am as deep ly enshrouded In the oblivion reign ing beyond the confidential circle as yourself. ‘‘I was entirely frank with you and told you all the circ’.unstances at tendant upon the matter, w'heu I last saw you, as far as I knew them. “Your chagrin and disappointment in the premises may properly lead you to express your disapproval of tlie kind of politics involved in the as sumed appointment of Mr. Price but you have no warrant in saying that 1 am a party to it or know anything of it, for such is not the case. “In the meantime, the republican craft has weathered fiercer squails than those incident to disappointment in aspiration for office and, while it is a great party and, in the opinion of some, nothing short of outrage, that (!vcry ‘leader’ cannot land in office, tlie fact remains that every republi can’s loyalty is not gauged by ability (o secure appointment and that the party and its fundamental principles will survive despite the whimperings of this class of men. “It further occurs to. me that had you been acting in good faith yoti might better have suppressed yOur disappointed cry until you had a re ply to the letter you say has been ad dressed to me which reply would have acquainted you with the facts as I knew them or at least you might have made some inquiry as to the le- llabiiity of your information and not been so (|uick to as'sume an absolute ly false promiso to exhibit a very sore head. “With regards and best wishes “Very truly yours “JNO.

Opposed to Tariff Tinkering. By Associated Press. New Orleans, March 21.—United States Senator .1. R. Thornton, of Louisiana, is opposed to any tariff tinkerink by the special session of congress. In dlHcussing the matter last night he said: “I don’t know what congress will do or attempt to do during the special session with regard to revis ing the tariff but I bojie the demo crats will get together and decide against any attempt at revision at this time. Congress shotild get down to work, act on the reciprocity meas ure and then.adjourn.” Shippers Meet. By Associated Press. Cologne, Germany, March 21.— Trans-Atlantic shipping representa tives met here today to discuss sev eral disputed points now standing in the way of a renewal of the Atlantic conference pool agreement. The de liberations arep rivate. OHENEY’S) exp*ec:tor/\i^-p ^ Mr. W. .1. Oliver of the firm of W. J. Oliver & Company of Xnoxvllle, Tenriessee, left Charlotte last night for Greenville where he will at once direct the M'ork of building the interurban line betv.'een Greenwood and Green ville to Spartanburg. He has been as sociated with several smaller contracts during the ]>ast week and has about completed all details for the early be ginning of actual road building. He held a long conference with Mr. W. S. Lee, vice president and chief engineer of the Piedmont Syndicate, before leaving the city, and gave every assurance that the work would be com pleted v.'ithin the prescribed time. In the city today, also, are represen tatives from the largest electrical man ufacturing establishments in the coun try. They are meeting here with offi cials of the interurban road with a view of securing contracts for the fur nishing of all the equipment fqr the trollej' lines. The Selwyn hotel is headquarters for all the salesmen, as told in yester day's edition of The News, and Gener al Manager Lee is the pivot around W'hich everything swings. With the let ting of two contracts—one for the building of the line l)etween Charlotte and King’s Mountain, and the other between Greenw'ood and Spartanburg in South Carolina—Mr. Lee thought he would have a breathing spell, but he has found his labors increasing daily. What w'ith the looking over plans and specifications for the build ing of depots, the daily talks with men. w^ho have different kinds of motors and rails and other equipment, Mr. Lee has found himself “up to his neck” in work. Another mater that is being the ob ject of a lot of talk'at this time is the awarding of ’the contract for the build ing of the link betw’een Charlotte and Spartanburg, a distance of something over thirty-flve miles. When .this con tract has been let the officials of the road will look further into the mat ter of extending the line out of Greens boro. All residents living between Winston-Salem and Greensboro are deeply interested in the proposed line that is to enter the Gate City and there is considerable speculation as to when work will begin. Thus far nothing definite has been done, though the people of Greensboro are daily discussing the matter and crystalizing sentiment in favor of the early beginning of constructive work. But in the meanwhile the officials in Charlotte of the Piedmont Syndicate are busily engaged In hearing the mer its of different kinds of electrical ap paratus, et cetera. The best salesmen in the country are here, and as one remarked at the Selwyn; “It’^ no dis grace to be beat out of a contract by any one of those other fellows.” While the feeling of rivalry is keen, the rep resentatives from the different firms are all friends and the jolly bantering in the lobby each evening is amusing. Says he is not Dead. By Associated Press. St. Joseph, Mo., March 21.—Although a body identified by Samuel P. Justice, district manager for an accident insur ance company as being that of his son, Sheridan M. Justice, has lain in a vault here since March 6, a letter has just come in which the boy emphatically denies he is dead and relates a thrill ing tale of his w'anderings with a cir cus and with gangs of laborers. In the letter young Justice, or who ever the writer is, declares he will re turn home immediately.
