Rutherfordton. N. C. The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the effi cacy of Chamberlain's Fain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder from which he suffered excruciating pain for ten days, which was re lieved with two applications of Fain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheuma tism in the thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two appli cations, rubbing with the lini ment on retiring at night, and getting up free from pain.

Edward VII, conjee to the throne at the.age of tiHjr-mne. i Hie predecessor the name, the boy king of 1547. wan only nine years old when he becaiae king, and hie reign ie an unimportant inteivaf between the reigns ofi Henry VIII, and Hloody Queen ^The fifth Edward wae also a child, and oneof piteous memory, since his name is irretrievably linked with that of Bichard 111. The r ign lasted only froin the I Uth of April to the 25th of .1 une, | l and was disturbed in its earlier 1 days by party intrigues to gain possession of the little king, and I 'later by the barefaced scheming of Richard III, to secure the| i throne. And in tdieend the child, unable to protect himself and with no friends powerful enough to defend him, met an obscure death in the Tower with his little brother Clarence. Still further back came Edward IV, and Warwick the King Maker, whose power made Edward s lot uncertain and even availed to I restore to the throne, for a time, | the banished Henry V I. And so the romantic story goes: back, tale by tale and century bv century. In 1327 came the sol-1 dierly Edward 111, always to bej 1 remembered as the father of one | of the most romantic figures in England's history, Edward the Black Prince. And with him and his bnlliant son we con over the I names of Crecy and Poictiers, j Sluys, and Calais?names that to this day make part of the glory of England. Edward's father was a weakling 5 and a trifier between a warlike ? sire and a warlike son. It was he I I who lost Bannockburn and ah i his father's conquests in Scot- j land; and it was he who had as his friend and comrade the per fumed and curled Piers Caves ton,; whom he kept near him until an- j (other Warwick, called by the favorite in his merry wit, the Black Dog of Arden. ended his useless life in that terrible dun geon by the Avon. This King Edward was the first Prince of Wales. The first Edward has been thus far the most illustrious of the name. He was a strong man. an |, able general, a powerful king. It I was be who made the tirst mate-1 | rial encroachments upon the terri-; tory of*Wales, and it was he who , harassed ScotlanJ so fearfully and almost reductd that hardy nation to subjection. He was an I inveterate castle builder, and the most splendid fortresses in the kingdom, Curnarvo'i and Conway , in Wales, stand in ruined after six hundred years, lasting monu ments to the mighiy will of the ( master that buut them. It is ( pleasant to covnect this stern j an i rugged -oul with alittlethat ( i> gentle and human, which we . m.,.? e sily do if we credit the sir. of his love for Eleanor, | His queen, and of their happy life ] at beautiful Carnarvon Castle. , East and earliest of all is the , Confessor, Edward, the old Dan ish devotee, to whom we owe the continuance of a church which is now the most glorious in Eng land?the church to which every English foot turns sooner or later | in pride and reverence?West- 1 minster Abbey. I Conqueror, warrior and de frauded child and little, preco- , cious king?it is a strange, pa- ( thetic and fascinating line?these . men of the name which England's ^ present king is to carry on. His assumption of it brings them from the shadows where they , have kept so long to be thought ' of and pitied and wondered at a little longer by the hurrying peo ple of the world.?Mildred I. Me Neal in March I ledger Monthly. * A Good toufh Medicine tor Children. "I have no hesitancy in recom- g mending Chamberlain's Cough i Remedy," says F. P. Moran, a ^ well known and popular baker, of j Petersburg. Va. "Wehavegiven , it to our children when troubled ' with bad coughs, also whooping , coughs, and it has always given t perfect satisfaction. It was rec- ( ommended to me by a druggist ^ as the best cough medicine for f children as it contained no opium H or otherharmfuldrug." Sold by ( Hood Ilros. ^ I)r. Miller, superintendent of * the Eastern insane asylum, says \ there are .'l(K) negro insane in the ' State outside of the asylum, of f whom 200 ought to lie there, t The appropriation is for a buil- f ding to accommodate 200. Dr. 1 Murphy, of the Western asylum, says there are 500 outsideinsane in'the Western district, and that < he can call the names of 400 of i these. In his last report, the lab- ?

Too Rough on the Lawyers. Mt. Olive Advertiser says: A lawyer in a court room may call a man a liar, scoundrel, vidian or a thief, and no one makes a com plaint when court adjourns. If a nswspaper prints such a reflection on a man's character there is a libel suit or a dead editor. This is owing to the fact that people believe what an editor says and what the blackguard lawyer says cuts no figure. Prof. Ivison, of Lonaconing, Md., suffered terribly from neu ralgia of the stomach and indi gestion for thirteen years and after the doctors failed to cure him they fed him on morphine. A friend advised the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and after taking a few bottles of it he says. "It has cured me entirely. 1 can'i say too much for Kodol Dyspep sia Cure." It digests what you eat. J. K. Led bet ter, 11 are & .Son, Hood Bros. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who is the proud possessor of the most luxuriant growth of whiskers in the Senate, has never been shaved in his life. His beard began to sprout when he was about sixteen, and he is now seventy-five. "Oh, yes," said he the other day, "I have ofteu thought of shaving. Kind heart ed friends have given me razors and advised me to go to work on my bear ?, but I never took their advice. You see, when I was a young man 1 never owned a ra ?or, and I had to let my whis kers grow wild. Now it is too ate. My constituents would ?age and my political career could be wrecked." A Valuable Seed Book. T. W. Wood & Sons, Seedsmen, Itichmond, Va., send us copy of bheir New Catalogue of Seeds for the Farm and Garden. Thisflrm has established for itself a high reputation throughout the South, which will be enhanced by the fact that it has been honored by the award of a gold medal at the Paris Exposition, recently closed. Wood s Seeds ire sold in every State of the South and Southwest, and their :rade throughout this section of ;he country has steadily and constantly grown from year to rear until now they sell more leeds thnn any other house doing msiness in the South. To have ittained such proportions, the leeds they sent out must have >een reliable and good. This has >een their policy in the past, and t will be their practice in the iresent and future. Not the ?heapest, but the best, is tbeir notto. The difference between lie cost of the seed and the value >f the crop when raised is so great hat no one can afford to sacri lce the crop for the sake of the laving of a few cents in the cost )f the seed. Send to Messrs. i. iV. Wood & Sons for a copy of heir Catalogue, and you will ind it full of helpful and useful nformation to all farmers and nirdeners. It is most beautifull\ gotten up, and carefully arranged (O as to facilitate the selection of .he seeds wanted. Headache often results from a lisordered condition of the st ntt ach and constipation of the bow els. A dose or two of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will correct these disorders and cure the headache. Sold by Hood Bros. EDWARl) W.
