Returnine to Charlotte after the war
Mr. Oates entered unon the business
career, the main facts of which are
given above, and from that time be
came one of the leading and niost
Infiuentjal citizens of the city.
He served a number of times on
the board of aldremen, on the school
board, and was active in whatever
concerned the development of the city.
The dominant feature of his life, how
ever was his church work. He was
ardently a Presbyterian and from 1875
when the first Second Presbyterian
church was built to the day of his
death, was one of the leading figures
as well as one of the large contribu
tors to that church. The old church,
in the building of which such men
as the late Col. Thos. Brem. Robt. I.
Me Dowell, Gen. Rufus Barrinp:er,
Col. R. .M. Oates, Julius Alexander,
and others were leading spirits, re
ceived liberal contributions from Mr.
Oates. When the new church was

Nothing will remain undigested or
sour on your stomach if you will take
a little IMapepsin occasionally. This
powerful digestive and antacid,
though as harmless and pleasant as
candy, will digest and prepare for as
similation into the blood all the food
you can eat.
Eat what your stomach craves,
without the slightest fear of Indiges

sour risings. Belching, Gas on Stom
ach, Heartburn, Headaches from
stomach. Nausea, Bad Breath, Water
Brash or a feeling like you had swal
lowed a lump of lead, or other dis
agreeable miseries. Should you be
suffering now from any stomach dis
order you can get relief within five
minutes.
If you will get from your pharma
cist a 50-cent case of Pape’e Dlapep-
9in you could always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and your
meals would taste good, because you
would know' there would be no indi

ache or Stomach misery all the next
day: and, besides, you would not need
laxatives or liver pills to keep your
stomach and bowels clean and fresh.
Pape's Diapepsin can be obtained
from vour druggist, and contains more
than sufficient to thoroughly cure the
worst case of Indigestion or Dyspep

built Mr. Oates again gave liberally
of his substance.
His devotion to his church was one
of the strongest points of his life. He
gave his time, his money his very
heart to the Second church. Fr"^'
the time the first church was built in
1875 to within a few years of his death
Mr. Oates was the leading bass singer
in the choir. He had a beautiful voice
—soft melodious, of beautiful qual
ity and superb richness. He was a
ruling elder in the church, often super
intendent of the Sunday school, and
for years chairman of the music com
mittee. There was never a call of
the church to which Mr. Oates did
not respond; never a service that he
was not willing to perform.
Mr. Oates was a man of fine sense,
clear and astute judgment. He was
as wise In counsel as he was exemplary
in conduct. He was charitable in
judging his fellowman, charitable in
deed and thought; a man of great
strength of character, and the bent of
his character was toward the right.
He had a strong will, but it was al
ways bent to the Divine will. Ev^en
those who differed with him admired
him for his convictions. His princi
ples were of the highest, his life was
In all points correct, his record clean.
For several years before his death
he had been in failing health, and had
practically retired from active busi
ness life. Personallly, he was excep
tionally handsome, tall, erect, of fine
features and commanding presence.
The writer was associated with him
for years in the old Second church. !n
choir work, and recalls that one of his
favorite h>*mns was one of the two
chosen for the service this afternoon;
"How Firm a Foundation Ye Saints
of the Lord.”

Camden Miss
Helped by Cardui
Miss Wilson Suffered For
Nine Years, but Finally
Obtained Relief by
Taking Cardui
Camden, Miss.—“About five years
ago,” says Miss W. E. Wilson, of this
place, "I had to undergo an operation,
and after that It hurt me to stand on
my feet or to walk much.
I had suffered, more or less, ^ith
womanly troubles, for more than nine
years, and I was very weak and ner-
vouui.
Ai soon as I commenced to take
Cardui, I felt better. Now I am not
taking any medicine, for I don’t need
any.
Cardui haa done me more good than
anything I have ever taken. It i» the
grandest medicine for women that was
ever made.”
This remarkable letter, from a lady
who has actually tried Cardui, ought
•urely to convince you of the genuine
merit of this successful medicine, and
Induce you to give it a trial for your
own troubles.
Cardui Is the ideal remedy for all
wreak, suffering women, young or old.
Cardui acta specifically on the wom
anly constitution, preventing unneces
sary pain, and building up strength
where it is moat peeded. During the
past 60 years, it haa proven itself to
l>e a reliable remedy for weak women,
tt haa helped others, and should cer
tainly help you. At aU druggisu.

A Family That Can
Pick Some Cotton
The family of Mr. J. D. McCorkle,
of Steel Creek, stands unchallenged
as the champion cotton-plcklng family
of the county, and, perhaps, of the
state. The other day four members
ol the family picked 1,528 pounds of
cotton, enough to make a heavy bale.
The above amount was picked In
one day by four of Mr. McCorkle’s
sons, namely, Roy, Ben, Cecil and Har-
vey. The quantity picked by each one
was as follows; Roy, 429; Ben, 394;
Cecil, 368, and Harvey 337 pounds.
Ten
Days* Limit
For Boys Enrollment
But ten days remain to enroll for
the boys’ night school, which is to be
conducted by the Young Men’s Ch^rlst-
lan Association.
Boys who are planning to attend
this school, and who have not already
done so, should hand in their names
at once, in order that they may re-
cefve the advertising matter, which
will be sent out, and also an Invitation
to the banquet and educational rally,
which will be held on the opening
night of the school, and for which
plans are nearly completed.
This opportunity offered to the em
ployed boys of the city Is one which
no boy who has been obliged to leave
school before he has finished his edu
cation, can afford to miss. Already a
large number have enrolled, but there
Is still room for more, as the associa
tion will provide for all who wish to
take the course, even If It becomes
necessary to secure the services of
an additional teacher.
Full information may be obtained
from the boys’ secretary regarding the
school, or will be mailed upon receipt
of request.

NOTARY PUBLIC
During my 16 or 18 years’ experience as a PUBLIC NOTARY, I have
represented bankers, lawyers and leading financiers in Charlotte, where a
Notary Public was required in the final closing of big business deals. IT
has often happened that the entire settlement for all parties concerned,
representing thousands of dollars in money, checks, notes, etc., passed
through my hands with me acting as “middle man” in the deal. There is a
reason for this, i. e.,—I give all business entrusted to me as a Notary Pub
lic, profnpt, courteous, confidential, and intelligent attention. If you have
any such deals to be closed, give me your business, and you will be prop
erly represented, and every detail of the matter properly executed. I com
mand business as a Notary Public on business merit, and handle all such
matters on a strictly first-class high-toned business manner.
’Phone me any time you need a Notary Public.
Incidentally—give me your business — My time is my own—have horse

Notary. Office ‘Phone 243—Residence ’Phone 1270-J.
