Obituary.
Little John G. Woodall, son of
Mr. Fi'stus L. and Mrs. Hetty Wood
all, was born January 26, 1904 and
died May 7, 1909. He was sick only
a few days, his trouble being a mas
toid trouble. He had been a very
healthy child until the time when the
fatal disease struck him. Everything
was done for his recovery which
medical skill could do, but God
thought it was best to take him.
The little fellow bore his afflic
tions with great patience, scarcely
complaining during his illness.
He was a very sweet child, amia
ble, gentle and obedient to his pa
rents who loved him with true de
votion. While his little place in the
home is vacant and his glad happy
voice is no longer heard, he Is in
the land of perfect bliss in the arms
of Him who said "suffer littlo chil
dren to come unto me and forbid
them not." Weep not, parents. Your
loss Is his eternal gain. P. D. W.

Attention, Confederate Veterans.
The annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, will be held in
Memphis, Tenn., on the 8th, 9th, and
10th of June. It is confidently hoped
that the Railroads will give the usu
al low rates of one cent per mile,
which will make the fare about six
teen dollars from here. A monument
to Gen. Stephen D. Lee will be un
veiled at Vicksburg, Miss., on the
11th of June, and special trains from
Memphis will take all there for
three dollars. The distance is about
two hundred miles and all that can,
are urged to go. Walter R. Moore's
Camp dues are paid and the dele
gates' badges are on hand and all
who expect to go should communi
cate with me at once, that I may
notify the proper committee in Mem
phis. The committee has notified me
that all Confederates who expect the
city to care for them, must bring
their blankets with them and the
city will furnish the hash and good
quarters and as good a time as if
you had "Jined the cavalry."

Free Lumber in the Senate.
The debate in the Senate on Wed- j
nesday has confirmed what has been |
known concerning the position of a
small fraction of Democratic mem
bers In favor of maintaining the du
ties on lumber. This merely goes to !
show that in the Democratic party, |
as In other political organizations. |
there are men with v ho in its princl- j
pies are not potent enough to with
stand the c^ll of real or imaginary
selfishness or local interest. But
these few individuals, though tem
porarily representing great States..
cannot seriously affect the policy of
the party if they may occasionally
interfere with its success. They only i
betray the fact that upn the one
paramount Issue before Congress and
the country they are not to be trust
ed. On the floor of the Senate and
on the stump they volubly declaim
against the iniquity of the Republi
can tariff system, and when it comes
to legislation lend it their support in
behalf of protective duties which
many Republicans, including the
President of the United States, are
convinced of the justice and wisdom
of reducing In the interest of the
millions of consumers of the country.
For their recusancy these Sena
tors make the flimsy protest that
the duties on lumber are for reve
nue, and therefore in accordance
with Democratic policy, notwithstand
ing the Denver platform. They over
look the fact that free lumber Is not
only in the platform policy of the
Democratic party, but in its legisla
tive action whenever the opportuni
ty has arisen. Lumber was made
free long ago by the Democrats In
the reciprocity treaty with Canada
the party has given its votes for
and subsequently in the Wilson tar
iff. On every occasion in Congress
free lumber as a crude material of
American manufactures and as an
article or necessity, in restoring tne
duties on lumber the Republicans
left the cabinet woods of Central
America on the free list, although
these imports could be made a
source of considerable revenue. When
relmposlng the duties on Canadian
lumber they did not conceal their
purpose of protection, and these
Democrats of the Senate, in support
ing the Aldrich lumber schedule, are
voting not for revenue but for the
Republican policy of protection. On
the other hand, the Democratic policy
has always been to make free lumber,
coal, iron ore, wool and all other
materials of manufactures; and in
this the Democracy have effectually re
pelled the charge of unfriendliness to
development of American industries.
The manufacturers of the country are
now fast conceding that these indus
tries have in the Democratic policy
of free raw materials for American
industries their best friend.
As for the revenue from lumber,
the official returns show that all told
it amounted last fiscal year to a lit
tle more than $4,000,000. A duty of
one cent a pound on coffee would
yield more than twice as much reve
nue as this tax on a crude material
of American industry. The revenue
from this tax is but a poor compen
sation for the ravage of the country's
forests stimulated by the exclusion
of Canadian lumber. At any rate,
the lumber duties are at war with
the time-honored policy of the Dem
ocratic party, whether they be levied
for revenue or for protection.?Phila

HIGH-O-ME.
That's the Way to Pronounce Hyo
mel, the Money-Back Catarrh
Cure.
As doubt exists in the minds of
many readers of The Herald let us
say that the above Is the proper pro
nunciation of America's most won
derful catarrh cure. Hood Bros, are
the agent for Hyomei in Smithfield
and they will sell you an inhaler, a
bottle of Hyomei, and full instruc
tions for use, for only $1.00.
And if it fails to cure acute or
chronic catarrh, asthma, bronchitis,
croup, hay fever or coughs and colds,
they will give you your money back.
The person who suffers from ca
tarrh after such an offer as that,
must like to snuffle, spit and wheeze
and be generally disgusting.
Read what Mr. G. F. Lowe says:
"I have used Hyomei for a case
of nasal catarrh which had bothered
me for a long time. I can say that
Hyomei killed the germs of the dis
ease and gave me the much sought
and needed relief. From this expe
rience I know Hyomei to be a reli
able remedy, and I give it the praise
and recommendation that it de
serves."?G. F. Lowe, R. F. D. No.

The New Book-keeper at the Bank
of Ptne Level.
The new book-keeper at the Bank
of Fine Level is arousing a good
deal of interest among local busi
ness men. It is nothing but a ma
chine?"brains in a box", thoy call
it?but it was sold on a life contract
to do all the aiding and "figuring"
required by the bank every day.
Its real name is the Burroughs ad
ding and listing machine, and u will
put down figures in long columns and
add them up faster than six expert
book-keepers. Moreover, the makers
guarantee that it cannot make a mis
take, as the best book-keeper will
sometimes do. This makes it an in
surance of the accuracy of the bank's
accounts with its patrons, and shows
the progressiveness of the bank of
ficials.
William Seward Burroughs, who in
vented the wonderful adding machine,
was a bank clerk whose health was
destroyed by the drudgery of bank
v ork and had to give it up to save
his life. He there in on resolved to
invent a machine that would do the
hard work in a bank, although no
one had succeeded out of hundreds
of inventors who had attempted the
task. That was a quarter century
ago, and Burroughs worked for years
before he had even a model of his
invention to show. He met with
very little encouragement or assis
tance in those dark days, because
everyone regarded him as a "crank"
who was trying to achieve the im
possible.
At last. However, lie produced a
rough model that would actually set
down figures and add them, but it
was years after that before he had
ail entirely practical machine that
could be placed on the market, and
even then he was not satisfied, for
he called in the first hundred machin
es that were sold, took them to an
upper story of the building where he
had his workshop and threw the
whole lot of machines one on top of
the other in a shapeless mass of
scrap on the paving of the court
yard below. It is not hard to be
lieve that he shed tears as he thus
voluntarily destroyed what was prac
tically his life work.
But that was not the end. Bur
roughs continued to strive for per
fection, until at last he produced a
machine that was pronounced perfect.
This is the Burroughs adding and
listing machine of today, and al
though it has been in successful ope
ration for over 15 years, it has nev
er been improved upon. The essen
tial principles of the device as it
left Burroughs' bands remain un
changed today.
The machine which is doing the
book-keeping at the local bank is
but one of the 58 different styles now
turned out at the Burroughs factory.
There are machines to list and add
fractions, yards, feet and inches,
English money, tons and cwt., etc.
Some of the machines are designed
to make out monthly statements, in
addition to doing their usual work.
They print the statements from an
endless printed roll, setting down
dates, debits and credits in separate
columns.
On these machines the world's
speed records have been made, one
operator performing the feat of list
ing and adding the amount of 500
assorted bank checks in the remark
able time of 6 minutes, 18 seconds.
The cashier of the bank is great
ly pleased with his new book-keeper,
and extends an Invitation to busi
ness men to call at the bank and
see how it adds.?Special.

Steamer Shores Goes Down In Laka
Superior With All on Board.
Dulutb, Minn., Slay 7.?The steam
er Adella Shores, a wooden boat.
200 feet long, 35 feet beam, with a
tonnage of 738 gross, engaged in a
general Lake traffic, is reported to
have sunk off Whitefish Point, in
Lake Superior, with all on board.
The crew and passengers consisted
jof twenry-one people.
Sailors on board the Northland,
which reached this port this evening,
brought the news of the probable
disaster. As the Northland was
passing the point wreckage was dis
covered all about the path of the
steamer.
The Shores was' in command of
Capt. Holmes. She was bound for
Duluth and was six days overdue. It
is thought the Shores was sent to
the bottom of Lake Superior by the
same gale that foundered the Russia,
Nestor, and Aurania several days
ago, when the winds swept the Lake
at a seventy-mile velocity.
The owner of the boat says he is
sure the wreckage sighted is from
the Shores.
