My TrlftUtke Fir West. Mr, Editor: As a number f my friends requested me o writs to them, 1 will do so. with your nermisson. through the columns of jour mpr. I hoarded thetrain.it Elk irk March 17, expecting to inert a tiuuiler of friends at izabethton from the past ern part of Watauga, hound ir northern Washington. The trains failing to mike connection I made the trip alone, whih was a very pleas ant one with a few exceu- ions. My train left Knoxville at 9, p. m , Saturday, crowded with passenger. The car in which I sat was full of drunk num. They drank whiskey ike it hai been water; they eered and j ereil; they drew nives and they cursed till it seemed that psniemoninm had broken loose on that train, but that did not last very long. Some went to sleep and some got off the train. Since then I have not seen a man mo drunk that he was very indecent. The scenes along the route were so numerous and I tray eled with sub speed that I cannot even attempt to Je irribethe country through which I passed. However, I think it not ami's to make a few general obseryations. From Jonesboio.Tenn., to Knoxville is a nice agricultu ral country, but Illinois is the finest farming country 1 have seen east of the Rocky Mountains. Western Kansis and eastern Colorado ia a barren country, while west if Denver, Colorado, are some verv fertile spots. East rn Utah is a barren desert, the passing of which makes one's heart sick. I saw no liv ing thing for two or three hundred milfs, except one small rabbit which looked like it had never bad half en ough to eat. From Salt Lake City Utah, to Ogden ia the richest and most beautiful country 1 ha ve eyer seen, indeed it is a veri table paradise forthe farmer. From Pocatella, Idaho, to Nam pa is one almost unbro ken stretch' of sedge bush, the land being mostlj level. The government has under- taken to irrigatelarge tracts of this land. If this is accom plished, Southern Idaho will be a great country, Now a few words about Boise and I will close. The City is as level as a house floor. Tte streets are paved with brick and the sidewalks are all wncrete. The lawns in the residence part of the city are perfectly green. I he people here are very different from th- people in North Carolina. There is nb solutelj no class distinction here, although there is a gra ding.

Always Keep Chambe i laiu'i Cough Remedy in His House. "We would not he without Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand continually in our home," says W. W. Kearney, editor of the, Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand rea dy for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and ctf ed in much less time than after it has be come settled in the system. This icnicdy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even af ter the croupy cough appesrs, which can only be dene when the remedy is Kept at hand.

Just as a sly little little joke, the oil magnate should have asked Teddy what has become of that campaign fund immunity. Atlanta Constitution. Doctors Are Pu ed. - The remarkable recovery)! Ken neth M elver, of Vaiceboro, Me., is the subject of much interest to the medical fraternity and a wide circle of triendH. He says of h i s case: "Owing to severe liiilamma tion of ths throat and conges tion uf the lungs, three doctors gave me. up to die, when, as a last resort, I was induced to try Ur, King New Discovery and am happy to say. it saved uy life."

It was on april 26, 1607. that the English settlers in ths Lon don company flret debarked at Cape Henry, Va., ani In the desire to fittingly cele brate the 300th anniversary of that evvnt is found the reason tor changing the date of the formal opening. Torture By Savages.

The Richmond Times Din natch says, in the course of editorial fin what the Demo cratic party should stand for: "Our greatest victory since the war was in 189;, when we went before the peo pie on an ideal platform with tariff-for revenue only as the paramount issue." And that in the time that the Democratic party, with ample majority in Congress and a Democratic president, showed itself absolutely incu pable of enacting a tariff for revenue only. Has our con temporary forgot that the party failed to do the yer.v thing that it was out into power to do? From that cam paign to this good day the country has shown no iucli nation to listen to Demount ic eloquence on thin subject. The party failed to make good any diftVrenre between h revenue tariff and a nrotec tive tariff, and the people will not enthuse again. The Charlotte Observer, in com inenting on the editorial from which the above extract is taken, says; "My! but the talk of an ideal democratic platform, with tantMor-rey-enue only as the paramount issue, and no thought of a debased curieney, and other compromising vagaries, ia calculated to thrill." We cannot agree with our contemporary. The tariff was once a great question, and is today, but not in the sense tbat its solution is so press ing as others. Since the Cleye land victory ot 1892, when the party failed to make good, other questions haye arisen that overshadow this old one. Think what a plat form such as the old ideal one would be, would mean now a bundle of platitudes that would baye littlo bear ing on real present daj ques tions. It would stand for "in dividual rights, freedom and iddividualism," says the In dianapolis News. It would staud for these mgraceful platform flourishes and turn red in the face at the sugges tion that the forces that are rapidly making these things impossible should be bridled. Any menace to individual lilrerty from legislation in this country has long siucs passed. The fearful nccumula tion of power in the hands of a few men through the con trol of immense corporate wealth is the thing that is strangling individual rights and freedom in this country. even the freedom of States, and yet the old time, ideal Democracy regards this as sertion as a piece of popu lisin. The tariff was once thought to be the mother of trusts. yet today the greatest and most dangerous of the trusts would not be hurt by a re peal of the tariff. The Oil Trust and tbe Tobacco trust havealredy divided np tbe world. Any trust that might be injured by a reduction of a tariff schedule would find it easy to seu re enough mon ey to itbsoib all foreign com petition. The dream of des fluting the trusts by abolish ing the tariff might , have been good ten j ears njjo, but it won't do today. Th coal trust would be blissfully ig nored in your oi l time plat form, the railroad trust, which can and does destroy individual liberty, State's rights and local self govern ment at a blow would not be spoken of. The real question in this country is the fundamental one whether the people will rule or whether corporate wealth will continue to run things? This vital issue would be a vugary to th old timer. States' rights, lo cal self government, freedom and no paternalism in t. h v platform, and the wholecoun try in reality dominated by the benevolent pirates of New York, who, lino President liner, consider thut the old exploded shibboleth of an archy, divine right has been resurrected and committed to their hunde. The people would not liiten to the rend ing of au old time Democrat ic platform, ainch less vote for it. Monroe Journal. A Scientific Wonder.

It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning hi the disorder of these most important organs. . -- The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. Therefore, when yOurkidneysare weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, ia soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all drUKOTSts m fifty-cent . and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle RoaMorBwamBoot by mail free, also a pamphlet telling yon how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. ' Mention this paper , when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing hamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad dress, Birghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. I'" . WMtEJS- W b 1:, ?.i 4. t a- ?!
