BILL ARTS LETTER. A chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy writes to me to know the maiden names of the wives of the presidents and the names of the mothers of the presidents. I tell yon these women are in earnest. For cen Caries their sex has been under the ban. You can't find a his tory or cyclopedia that tells any thing about the -wives or the mothers of great men, and yet it is the mother who makes the man. George Washington's father died when he was 11 years old and his mother trained him and planted within him all those virtues that made him great and yet there are but few of our American people who know who hia mother was T ha.va thro sets of standard cyclopedias, bu only meager mention is made in them of the mothers or wives of the presidents. Who knows anything about the mother of Webster, Clay or Calhoun? I have found the maiden names of all the wives of the presidents and the names of all their moth ers except those of Zachariah Taylor, William H. Harrison, Franklin Pierce, James Buch anan, R. B. Hayes and Ben Har rison. Maybe they had no mothers. Well, to begin : George Washington's mother was Mary Ball. His wife was widow Park Curtis, nee Martha Dandridge. John Adams' mother was Susannah Boylston. His wife was Abigail Smith. Thomas Jefferson's mother was Jane Randolph. His wife, Martha Wales. James Madison's mother, Fan ny Taylor. His wife, Dolly Payne. That Fanny Taylor's brother was grandfather to Zachary Taylor. James Monroe s mother, Elija Jones. His wife, Elizabeth Kort right. John Q. Adams had a grand mother, Quincy. No mother is named. His wife was Louisa Johnson. Andrew Jackson's mother, Elizabeth Hutchinson; his wife, Rachael Donelson. Martin Van Buren's mother, Mary Hoes; his wife, Hannah Hoes. William H. Harrison's mother not named; wife, Anna Symmes John Tyler's mother, Mary Armstead; wife.Liecita Christian. James K. Polk's mother, Jane Knox; wife, barah Childless. Zachary Taylor s mother not named; wife, Margaret Smith. Millard Filmore's mother was Phoebe Millard;he!nevermarried, Franklink Pierce's mother not named; wife, Jane Appieton. James Buchanan's mother not named. He was a bachelor. ' Abraham Lincoln's mother, Hanks; wife, Mary Todd. Andrew Johnson's mother too poor and ignorant to name. His wife, Eliza McCardle, educated him. . U. S. Grant's mother, Hannah Simpson: his wife, Julia Dent. R. B. Hayes' mother not named; his wife, Lucy Ware Webb. 'James A. Garfield's mother, Eliza Ballou; his wife, Lucretia Rudolph. Chester A. Arthur's mother, The diver dies without air to ""breathe. The consumptive dies without lungs to breathe the 'air, or of lungs rendered incapable of breathing by disease. The blood as it flows in and ont of the lungs indicates the consumptive's pro gress. As the lungs grow weaker less oxygen is inhaled and the blood changes from scarlet to pur- riple. Oxygen is the life of the m blood as the blood is the life of the body. The effect of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery upon weak lungs is to strengthen them, to en able the full oxygenation of the blood, arrest the progress of dis ease, and heal the inflamed tis sues. Long diseases have been and are being cured by "Golden Medical Discovery" in cases where deep-seated .cough, frequent hemor rhage, emaciation weak ness, and , night- sweat have all poipLttd to a fatal termination by con sumption. some yean ago I was alnioat a help leva victim of that ,dread diittaag con gumption," - writes Mr. Chaa. Froag, P. M , of Sitka. WMU Co-Ind. "I was confined to my room for several months; my friends and neighbors had given up all bops mf my teoovery, until on day a friend adviaed n in take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery, and after I had taken the contents of the. second bottle I began to improve. After taking; is bottlei I was, I honeatly believe, delivered from the grave and entirely cored. I am now a strong and hearty man.

Sols Everywhere. by r ajtdakd on. CO. Malvina Stone; his wife, Ellen L. Herndon. Grover Cleveland's mother, Anne Neal; his wife, Frances Folsom. Ben Harrison's mother not named; his wife was Miss Scott. William McKinley's mother, Nancy C. Allison; his wife, Ida Saxton. Now, of course if a man can af ford to buy the separate bio graphs of these men, though some have not been written, no doubt he could learn more about their mothers and wives, but not very much. We know but little concerning the mothers of Mil ton, Shakespeare, Cowper, Poke, Gray, Johnson, Hood, Burns, Moore, Byron, Coleridge or any of the noted writers of England or Scotland. The idea seems to have been that women as a gen eral rule were of no consequence except to bear children and, stay at home and nurse them. But that is not the idea now. Women are coming to the front and claim a mora notable posi-' tion in history and biography. Mrs. Do. Burt, of Brunswick, has in press a book devoted ex clusively to the mothers of the notable men of Georgia, the mothers of our governors and statesmen and ministers and military heroes, and I know they will do justice to them Some time ago a friend of mine died and as he was a man of some note, his son, who is growing old, wanted to answer Mrs. Burt's letter about his grandmother, and he told me he didn't know anything about her didn't even know her maiden name. He said that he never saw her, for she died when he was a child and he never heard his father say much about her. That has been the way, but it will not be much longer, for the elevation of woman to her proper position by the side of man and not beneath him, is rapidly com ing on. This federation of wo man's clubs will assert woman's rights. This recognition of woman has gained ground rapid ly since the war. Before that our school teachers were gener ally men and where we had wo men as assistants they were im ported from the north. We had five in succession in our town. One by one they got married and we sent off and got another. Our well-to-do widowers took a liking to them, for our girls wouldn't marry a widower and our young men wouldn't marry a yankee school mistress. But since the war our own girls have gone to teaching and are found in.every school room in the land. If they are more fit-to teach our children than are the men, then why are they, not better paid, and why are they not members of our school boards? I have known men to be elected on school boards who couldn't do a sum in the - rule of three and didn't know whether algebra was Latin or astronomy, borne or these same men are put on the com mittee to choose school books. School boards are not always elected for scholarship, but for sectarian influence and because they have an ax to grind. But this is enough for one letter. I hope the young people w.H cut it out and paste it in their scrap books and keep it for reference so that when they are married and have jnquisitive children they can answer these questions. Every young person should have a scrap bqok. One of our teach ers was not long ago asking her scholars , about Washington. ','Who can tell me something about George Washington?", and one of the boys said i "He was born ,:. on Mount, Vermont. . A little girl said s "No, it was Mount Vernon." " Another boy said, "He was named for thecity of Washington,"' and another said, "He was the father of all the country children," and an other said, He cut a cherry tree down to get the cherries, and didn't tell a lie about it and his1 him for it, but that night he hud the colic mighty bad." Ana here is a good kind letter ofsympathy from a - blcd Srfe Sbr! :: cr " c : .r: i:..:.. r.1 .-J 5 her people. He ask about the Howells, and says his father knew the old man on the Chatta hoochee and always said there was some good Indian blood in his veins. Well, they do look like it. I expect our Evan came sideways down from old Powhat tan, just as my wife came front Pocahontas. Hello, Cousin Evan; we are kin. Bill. Arp. Pace's Majority 10,644.

Foley's Honey and Tar for coughs and colds: reliable, tried and tested, safe and sure. Sold by Oaing ton Drug Co. We are quite delighted to read , in the News & Observer of last Sunday, a strong, courageous and timely editorial on temper ance legislation. We endorse it every word and we hope it will be deeply pondered by our rep resentatives elect. Several prac tical suggestions are made, one of which is that the manufac tures as well as the sale of li quor be regulated. The little whiskey stills which abound are poisoning the neighborhoods where they do their dirty work, and are really more hurtful than open bar-rooms would be. An other excellent suggestion is that in prohibition communities the anti-jug law, better known as the Duplin law, be enacted. This stops the express company from pouring foreign whiskey into a territory where the good people are in the majority. There are other wise suggestions made which our law makers will do well to carefully consider. As a citizen of North Carolina we thank the News & Observer for its outspoken and admirable po licy on this tremenduous issue. There are fanatics on our side and if they get in control they will ruin everything. We want to do what we can do, rather, than what we wish might be I done. If the Legislature will be brave and true it will give us a law that in a few years will do stroy the legalized liquor traffic root and branch. And may God guide them in this great task.

Whiskey Brings Financial Ruin. Aside from the great moral question involved it is a fact that no sane man can deny that while it may temporarily benefit a very fnw individuals it brings thous ands to financial ruin. Condi tions surrounding the business of liquor making have changed and every liquor manufacturer of this State knows that so long as hH continues the business he is constantly surrounded by a lot of revenue agents who are awaiting an' opportunity to seize his property and bring him to hnancial ruin, and why they will persist in the business under these circumstances is one of the mistakes we cannot under stand. Statesville Mascott. How to Prevent Croup. It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The Bret sign of croup is hoarseness. This is soon fol lowed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. Jt is, in fact, the only remedy that can alwrys be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take.
