You clean and oil it often. You should be as careful with your watch It is small and cannot squeak loud when it is dry and needs oiling. You may not know it till the watch is completely ruined and stops. Bring your watch to me I will show you and explain the exact condition. Take proper care of your watch and it will laxt yon a life time. Consult . vue on watch Diseases. Yours Very Trulv, S. M. GREENE, Jeweler. Xavllle, XC.lt .FJD Thrmisrille Orphanage. Charlotte Chronicle. By f.ir the most interest in: piece of literature brought by The Ch ronicle's mail today who nn illustrated pamphlet com memorating the twenty-fifth mi ni vtrsary of the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage. The history of the institution from its incep tion reads like a romance. It is stated that the largest bequest ever made to the orphanage was (hat ! Dennis Simmons, which amouii'ted to one liundred thou sand dollars. This fund is well in vested, yielding an annml divi dend ol six per cent. The money is used in the improvement of the plant and for other purpos es not included in the support fund. The current expenses are met, as they have always leen, by the Baptist, churches and Sun day schools of North Carolina, More than five hundred Sunday schools give a monthly offering to the orphanage, and this source ot income has grown until it cov ers about -10 per cent of the cur rent expenses of the orphanage. The financial statement shows that the receipts for the year were $52,51)8 06. Tin; assets are $1;5S3.'J5 in excess ol the liabil ities. The expense bill averages about a hundred dollars a day a barrel and a half of flour a day, twoor three barrels of meal, a whole beef when used all round, teu bushels ol sweet potatoes, four or live bushels of Iiish po tatoes, when potatoes are used, and other things accordingly. About 800 pairs of shoes are tur ned out from the shop annually; (500 of l hem are ior the cildren Each shoe goes back to the shop for repairs three times, on an average, during its earthly ex istance. The herd of cattle, mostly Holstein, numbers about thirty-five. They have been tes ted recently for tuberculosis by tl.e State veterinarian. This te3t will be n peatei ut proper inter vals. One hundred and severity five acres of I he farm are in cul tivation. A large part of it is devoted to trucking and raising feini for the cattle. The boys (In larye part of the work.

The boys run the mower, disc plow disc harrow, plow and harrows, and at times as many as fifty are handling hoes. Mr. S. H.Averitt, who is also treasurer, manages the farm. The children go to school half the day and work the other half. There are two sets ol teachers, one for t he niorii ingand one for the afternoon. The ladies are in each dormitory. teacher and matron. The teach er has charge iu matters of au thority. These facts are sufficent to give the public an idea of how things are managed at this model insti tution. There need be no hope on part of friends ol other simi lar institutons to work up a man agement to surpass that of the Thomasville Onhanare. lor it cannot be done. There may be an orphanage in 6ome part of the count jv as well managed as that at Thomasville, but now here is thereone better managed. Both Speedy and Effective. This indicates the action of Fo ley's Kidney Pills, as S. Parsons, Battle Creek, Michigan, illustrates: "1 haye been afflicted with a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble or which I found no relief until I used Foley's Kidney Pills. These cured me entirely of all my ail ments. I was troubled wi'h the backache and severe shooting pains with annoying urinary irregulari ties. The steady use of Foley's Kid ney Pills rid me entirely of all my troubles. They have my highest rec ommendation." Sold by M B Black burn.

Tin.' victory I though uotquitecomplete, being married by swapping in two j townships, is derisive The peo ple of Culdcll have returned un j to '.heir own and for this great 'and decisive change we are trulv .grateful The Democrats showed I their teeth and went to work ear nesuy Mr the hist time in six years their efforts were crowned with su i ess. It would lie idle to dwell at length upon this revulsion of sen timent and the causes that led to the change from a Republican majority of two hundred and better to a small Democratic majority. These causes are known of nil men, superficial observers though they be. The Republican loot U no 'onger upon our neck, as wa- sifted ly a local Repub lican orutor at their county con vention ami they have not held us down. To the Democrats that have have so loyally worked in and out of season there is and shall be all praise. Tojtlie republican voters who have aided in bring ing about this happy end we shall promise that their votes have been exercised for their conn ty's betterment, But with the completeness and decisive nature of our victory let it bp remembered that we are confronted with the responsibili ty of government. Let us be hus bandars of the county's resourc es without being penurious in the administration ol affairs. Let our progress be for things sub sfc intial. When we build let us build for all time. Let us be cour teous and regard lul ol the rights of every one and let the govern mental affairs be administered without fear or favor and with justice to all. Let us keep the fountain of justice clean aud de velop our county and the trust, which has bien placed in o u r ke ping by the people in the ex ercise of their suffrages shalt be replaced into our hands by great er majorities year by year. In conclusion again allow me to thank each and every person whose diligence has aided in bringing about the happy condi Hon of affairs resulting from the election. Never men fought more loyally and the principles for which they str ive will not die but by the continued efforts of all shall be perennial m oir midst. Saved An Iowa Man's Life The very grave seemed to yawn before Robert M.idsen, of West llurlhigton, Iowa, when after sev en weeks in the hospital, four of the best physicians gave him up. Then was shown the wonderful cu rative power of Electric Iti'ters. For, after eight months of fright ful suffering from liver trouble and yellow jaundice, getting no help from other remedies or doctors, five bottles of this matchless medicine completely cured him. It's positive ly guaranteed for Stomach, liver or kidney troubles and never disap points, Only S"C at all druggists. John Grant's cornpone cam paign a big flat. Athroughbred politician would never have wag ed such a camgaigu, for indeed every voter was forth with re minded ol the time when the best of all dishes, crackliu' bread, was of easy access; but ' poor John" went needlessly on never dream ing why the faces of his hearers became sad when he mentioned "Cornpone."

Oaf of (.olden Opportunities. Progressive Farmer aud Ua7ette. When you are a man, Farmer Boy, the lanns in your neighbor- i or-elect Hooper, of Tennesse. fur flood will le better firm; they jnishes a lessonnudan inspiration win tie cuitivuiej belter, a n il grow bigger crops: better live stock and more ol it, will be on them: there will be better build ings, better road 4, more machine- rv. less hard physical work aud greater demands for clear and accurate thinking. All this means that the farmer of that time will have to bea better farmer than those of today and this, in turn, means that right now, while you are a boy, if you would be one of these good fanners, you must be gin to prepare yourself for it. You must lose no chance to study, to acquireuseful knowl edge, to keep yourself strong in body and mind, to form good habits. If you do these things, the future is yours, if you do not. you will be swept asida by the march of progress, and be one ol the "poor farmers'' the failures." What are you doing about it? Are you making the most ol your school, of practical train ing you get on the farm, of the books and papers you read? Have you eer thought about a college course the tdiort course in agriculture at least uud a bout the fact that the farmer needs to preptwe for his work jnst as does a lawyer or doctor? If you begiu your life work poor ly prepared, the blame will be largely your own, for ou every side the doors of opportunity are open. When you are a woman, Fur mer girl, the homes of the coun try may not be any dearer to those who share them, but they will be brighter, more beautiful, better furnished, equipped with a hundred conveniences of which your mother has never known. There will be less hard work in the house-keeping of thosj days, but there will be demanded olthe house keeper a wider range of knowledge, a capacity to ileal with problems which are now left entirely to the physician or the teacher, or the legislator. All this means that you, too, must keep both body and soul clean and pure and strong that you must train your hands and dis cipline your mind, so as to be ready for the studies that will be yours. If you are thus prepared, you will help to lefc the whole race to a higher plane of living; if you are not, you will tend to hold it down. You are deciding right now which part you shall play. Not Sorry For BlunJcr. 'If my friends hadn't blundered in thinking I wan a doomed yictim of consumption, I might not be alive now," writes I). T. Sanders, of liar rodsburg, Ky ,-but for years they saw every attempt to cure a lung racking cough fail. At last I tried Dr. King's New Discovery. The ef fect was wonderful.

It is one of thespleudid things about this republic of ours that the nameamau makes for himself is the only thing that counts: the things he does, the only ones reckoned up when the people look about them for their leadeis. From orphan asylum to the executive mansion! F r o in nameless waif to governor of a sovereign state! The way is al ways open in this country to those work aud strive and keep the faith." It is the man himself that counts. If ho is of worth and mer it he will be given due recogni tion, no matter what the history or lack of it of his ancestors. All men may not be born equal, but the accident of birth will neither make nor unmake the man. He must do that himself.
