That is certain ly true iu the case of tha south, and especially true in the case of western North Carolina. Wekuow where to place our enemies and they do us little harm, but fre quently there comes along one. who pretends great self-sacrifice, offers to do us some special ser vice. Probably at heart they think they are doing us a service but, as a matter of fact, they are like unto the man's tool friend who always does him au injury by his talk, rather than a bene fir. As soon as some idealist of self -constituted redeemer of hu manity comes along looking for a place to make a play to public sentiment, be invariably oils up the same old rhord and starts in on western North Carolina. This if 110 new story, but' strange to say, there are always eople who take in the bait nud lend a help iug hand to save the "mountain people." The latest frenzied out break along this line is a distinct surprise, in a way, as it conies from one whom we bad some reasons to beleve was above this kind of a game and would not te a party to bunding out to the kind-hearted "north" such mis sionary talk about the people of the mountains. The worst out break that has been recorded re' cently along this line was at a meeting before the Arundell Club in Baltimore some nights ngo, when our famous hoik-worm friend, Dr. Stilts, pictured the pitiful condition of the mountain people of western North Caroli na to this cultured audience iu such a way that it is said they were brought to tears over the fearful conditions. This is the same Dr. Stil'8 who was feasted aud dined as the discoverer of the "Hookworm in the South." He was a man of the South and was going to do so much for us because he understood condi tions here, ytt we see that he is on the old path and here is a sample of the talk be is dishing out to his cultured audiences a- bout our state. He Bid iu part: "lhereisno condition worse than this in the social history of humanity. Go where 3-011 will, you will not find 6uch a pitiful lack of development; women of 30 and boe of;2Q withjthe devel opment of 7 and 8 years. It is a picture of ineffable sadness. The sanitary conditions and the hy giene otthe mountains is so ter rible that it dare not be describ ed. They cannot support doc tors, and the state of Xorth Car olina has recently found it neces sary to issue what is known as limited license for men who have no real skill but whose preten tions to medicine have some ef fect upn the ignorani moun taineers." But that is not the worst of it, nor the end. If it were we could probably find some excuse for his recent outbreak, but. he is not alone in his speaking. After brin-' ging bis audience to tears over the condition which he has "dis covered" here, he is followed by another Speaker, Miss Holman, a northern nurse, who has been pouring out her Bweetlifeto save LAXATIVE LIVER SYRUP jsome of the people in the moun-j 'Him-, dim im-iuriiiuiiy organize the "Holman Society", w hich is going to do wonders in rescuing the people of the mountaius, af ter she gets some funds from the north. She and the lamous Hook worm Doctor appeared to I do ing team-work that night, and if they make these speeches in ma ny parts of the world there will soon be a coming of missionaries into western North Carolina in stead of to benighted Japan aw' China and dirkest Africa. Here is the way this trained nurse told of the frightful conditions existing in the great mountain sections of North Carolina: "A cow in the mountain dis tricts is a precious possession, but a wife counts for a very lit tle. Whtn the cow falls ill the man of the house is beside him self with fear, lest he lose her, but the illness of the wife is re ceived with comparative indiffer ence. If shej lied, she is buried as soon ns possible and within a w-ek or so he is married again. He and his second wife then go to church and hear the funeral sermon of his first wife. The peo ple there wear their clothes until they wear out, never taking them ofl when they retire. Thev have the most primitive ideas of med icine. The only cure for tuberculosis is a pan of water to prevent the night sweats, and as they rarely have basins the fry ing pan is usually pressed into service for this occasion. This is the kind of advertising North Carolina is getting from these fool friends. Think of this being handed out to the audien ces of the north about the lanl that has produced the brilliant Vance and a thousand others whose shoe-strings even Buch peo pie as tin se are not fit to un loose. Suppose the great and noble and gifted Bill Nye, who Bleeps iu the mountains of wes tern North Carolina. could ba al ive and read such about this eo pie that he loved so dearly. Could but one of these intellec tual giants speak in behalf of the people who are thus slaudered by those who are going up and down the earth pretending to be their friends, that defense would be such as to put these self-con stituted missionaries to flight. Why, in the light of all reason, people who pretend to be well-informed should continually seek to misinform and misrepresent the conditions and the people of any one section of the country is a mystery, unletis, perchunce, it is a profitable business. That the statements set forth above and credited to these two speak ers are flagrant misrepresenta tions is beyond question. We do not deny that there are extreme cases in the mountains, just as there are extreme cases in Balti more, or New York, or in Boston or London, or Paris. A person can tio ngnt into tne heart ol New York City and find some of the mostpitiful, poverty stricken cases to be found on earth, but that does not mean that the peo pie of that section as a whole are to be classed with them. The people of the mountains of wes tern North Carolina are in a great measure like the people of all mountain sections of the country. They have a strong, rugged character, They are for Banks On Sure Thing Now. Til never be without Dr. King's New Life Tills again," writes A. Schingeck. 647 Elm Street, Buffa lo, New York.

I- the most part working people and many of them have a limited education, but, as a whole, they are a ieople of strong mind and body, and aliove. the average of the world in man' ways. Their homes are pure nud sacred, and morally, they will average far, altove the cities tfiHt brag and boast of their education and modern ways. That this is true is clearly shown by the fact that the sons-and daughter from these homes w bo go out into, th world invariably make a success, and do not find it any trouble to compete with the people they meet in any way. Dr. Stiles and this Miss Hol man, no doubt, started out with good intentions, but they are taking isolated cases and making statements that are an injustice to these people ns a whole, be cause they cause the outside world to form untrue opinions. We know thu conditions of wee. trrn North Carolina; we know the people personally throughout the entire section, and taking the people as a whole no such con ditions exist. There are a few such cases, just as there are every where, which are very low in the scale of humanity, but to go ab out the nation making such mis leading statements is not a good kind of a Jverttsing. It may be a lie on its lace, but the inference drawn by the peo ple who hear it is a thousand times worse than a lie. Thepeo ple. who hear these tales are full prejudice and such things do not help them or help ourstate. We realize that we have conditions here in many instances that need a remedy, but that need does not form a valid excuse lor misrep resentation. In our opinion this is another case ol being so unfor tunate as to be misrepresented by your tool friends. A Simple Safeguard For Mothers Mrs. D.

How an appalling calamity in h 1 s family is presented is told by A D .KDonald, of Fayettcville, N. C R. F D, No. 8. "My sister had con sumption," he writes, "she was very thin and pale, had no appetite and seemed to grow weaker every day, as sll remedies failed, till Dr. King's New Discovery was tried, and so completely cured her, that she has not been trowbled with a cough since.

Monroe Journal. The Irequent miscarriage of jus tice iu this country, and the long drawn out trial, the ap al and the rehearing8 and the too often final escape of the criminal, are being held up in asharpcontrast to the swiftness and certainly by which th English people admin inter their laws, as a result of which it is said that there are nine murders in America .5-bj!re..t!jejri.w,one iu England Over there they have just han ged an American, a dentist by I he name of Crippen, for the mur der of hi wife.

One wi iter says: "Where the doctor made his mis take, was in not getting his wife oyer to her home in New York, before making way with her, Then, had he been discovered, long about now, his lawyers would scarcely have taken time to move for a continuance they would have been so busy playing with the newspaper syndicates. manufacturing public sentiment columns of slosh , aud in about two, years, they would have last ed about two months, and if the wretch had been convicted, it would take another two years to get the case run the gamut of the various courts, and the fel low would have died a uatural death before the end of it all, ey en granting that he would have been conyicted in the first place, which probably would not have lieen the case " As we see it, there are two fuc tors in thp case that must be rtmedied in North Carolina One is the way of selecting a jury by which it is possible for the defenre to secure either personal friends of the accused or men of other known bias. The other is the unnecessary appeals upon no issue affecting actual proof of guilt innocence. It is a supi ise that some patriotic lawyer does not take up the question of re form and fight it through. Wants to Help S"me One.

One of the bitterest opponent of road improvement in Screven couuty, Ga-, was an old farmer who lived fourteen miles fourteen miles from the court oouse. How ever, despite his protest, the road was improved out his way, but he grumbled and accused the of ficials of spending money to build roads for the rich owners ol au tomobiles which really ou&ht not to be allowed on the public roads at all. One day the last summer this farmer's youugest child was stricken ill very suddenly. She suffered intense pain aud the usu al remedies aflorded no relief. Dr. Overstreet was In his office at Sylvaniu when he received the telephone call from the father to hurry. As the Dr. stepped out on the street he saw L. 11. Hilton a bank president, standing a tew feet away. Explaining the casein a few words, the doctor asked Mr. Hilton to take him out in his car. "Jump in!" said Hilton. Forty minutes later they were at the farmer's house. Theclnld's life was saved and the father be came a conyert to good roads and automobiles right then and there. The life of a man whose a r m was crushed in a gin last j'ear was saved last year by the doc tor being rushed to him iu Mr. Hilton's car. The doctor said the man would have bled to death if they had driven out to the place in buggies. Frank Weldon in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discouragesandlesseitsuuibitioii; beauty, vigor and cheerful ni'ss soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is uot uncom mon for a child to he born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates tooof ten, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the .passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these iiiiportantorgans. This unpleasant 'rouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and uot to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remsdj. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
