Wants lo Organize Spanish-
American War Veterans
To Spanish American War \ et
erans :
We are desirous of organizing
a camp of "The United Spanish
i' War Veterans" at some point in
; Stokes county and we think
i King would be the most suitable
place in the county. We need
"The United Spanish War Vet
: erns" because for over twelve
i years it has teen fighting for
cur benefit, and in that time has
accomplished much in the way
i of beneficial legislation.
| Any officer, soldier, sailor or
marine who served during the
war with Spiin, or in Phillipine
! insurrection, which lasted up to
July 4th. 1902, and who was
honorably discharged from the
service of the United States is
eligible to membership.
I am just in receipt of a letter
1 from Hon. L. C. Dyer. Com
mander in Chief, of Washington,
D. C., and he is much interested
in the organization of a camp
in this section. This grand or
der would be beneficial to us in
many ways, and we could have
re-unions each year as they are
having in other sections, and this
would be a source of much enjoy
ment for all the boys.
The National encampment this
year will be held in Chicago the
early part of September. Now
I would be glad to hear from all
the boys in this county and ad
joining counties, as well, with
the view to the organization of a
camp. If you desire further in
formation write National head
quarters United Spanish
Veterans, Chemical Building, St.
Louis. Mo. The American
Standard,, Washington, D. C.,
is the official organ of the organ
ization; write them for sample
copy.
I must close this article as I
hear "taps" sounding, and it is
time for "Lights Out".
Very Respectfully.

I Bankhead Bill If Passed By
\ Senate, North Carolina
1 Would Get Four Million
ij Within Five Years.
s j Washington. May B.—Without
3 even the formality of a roll call,
• the senate this afternoon passed
• the Bankhead good roads Jbill
e j which has been pending for
r several days.
9 The bill provides for the ex
f penaiture in five years of $75,-
1000,000 for federal aid to good
r , roads and also carries an amend
i ment which was offered by
i Senator Welsh, appropriating
$10,000,000 for good roads in
5 national parks and forest re
; serves.
3 The house has already passed
a good roads bill, and it is ex
r pected that the two measures
■ will go to conference and a new
. bill will be worked out and
1 adopted.
> Should the bill pass as the
■ above figures show, North
' Carolina would get approximately
! $4,000,000 during a period of five
s years, divided as follows: $116,-
i 400, $262,800, $349,2C0, $465,600
• and $582,000.
j There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
; other diseases put togeher, and
r until the last few years it was
, supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pro
• nounced it a local disease and
1 prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
1 local treatment, pronounced it
- incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires
r constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.,
1 is the only Constitutional cure on
, the market. It is taken internal
ly. It acts directly on the blood
' and mucous surfaces of the sys
-3 tem. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and
I testimonials.

Conditions Past Week
Immense business, extraordi
nary activity of industry, more
' demand for money, remarkably
good collections heavy railroad
- traffic and noteworth strength
in prices commingle with and inci
• dentally teemingly outweigh such
factors as disturbed internation

crop situation and clear signs of
s high costs holding up some build
ing prospects without, however,
i reducing the total quantity of
money expended for construction
work. But, after all, bank clear
s ings, commercial mortality re
