We have not -eon many smiles, but j
can clo-e our eye ? and still > e the
woe-begone expressions ot our
friends and acquaintances. Hum. des

still another, 'It has been upon us
for Home time." And still we see no
ruin. No signs ???' -solution excipt
the woe-begone expressions referred
to above. And wheie in our commu
nity is there starvation?
Pessimists are necessary. A thous
and Tories said W| shinjrton could
not whip KnglaruL A thousand \ an- l
kees said Lincoln could not save the j
Union. A thousand Germans said
the armies of the Kais r could not ?
he defeated. The world said that the ,
Telephone, the Wirel ss and success
ful flying was impossible. The world
scoffed at the filst locomotive enc
ine, the fist lectlic liirht. the first
automobile, the first radio. Pessi
mists? The world is full of them.
Without the thousand oessimists
there could he no OITIMIST. With
out the thousand to say that it
can't be done" where would the ON K
genius get the inspiration to do it*.
A wonlerful thing i* that which is (
in a man who will not admit defeat.
That trait is v natural one. Tell a
child it can't do som thing ami that i
child will spend much time and ener
gy trying to devise some way to do
that thing- and will succeed in doing
it nine times out of ten. Too many
adults are all too r*.ady to kill tVi?* i
natural initiative in a child. It is j
well for the growing child to learn
that some things should not he done, 1
but the word "don't" is a dangerous
one, and should be used with morJ
discretion than one ot of a thousand ,
adults has. j
There is nothing under the sun
that happens that could not be worse j
Any calamity is never as bad as it I
seems at first. The silver lining is
there behind the cloud. It has always ,
been there. It will always go there.
As long as God Is in His Heaven |
all is well with the world. j

Nine - Tenths Preventable
Nine-tenths of all the diseases of
the American people can be traced
directiy to constipation, doctors say.
Constipation throws into the system
poisons which taint and weaken
every orean of the body and make
them easy victims for any perms
which attack them. Prevent constipa
tion nnd you will avoid nine-tenths
of all diseases, with their consequent
pain and financial losses. Herbine,
the pood old vegetable cathartic,
will relieve constipation in a naturpl,
easy and pleasant way. For sale by

This mine has been in operation
about four years, uud is own d by
the Bin.iey and Smitu Company, 11

This tale is mined by an und r
round method from a shaft 110 feet
eep. The strata of talc is from one
inch to 10 feet in thickness, and is
from 35 to 1K5 feet und r ground.
Between the strata of talc is marble.
About the same amount of marble
has to be removed as scrap as t to:
amount of talc mined. After the talc
mined, it is put through a pulver
izer and ground to a fineness of ap

pound bags and shipped to the trade
Material is shippel oved the L &
X and the South ?n railroads to vari
ous users in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia.
Lumps of this talc are used to cut
into talc pencils, which are manufac
tured at the plant. The penc:ls are
in d in foundries and iron working
shop-, and to mark steel. They are
made in six sizes, and are shipped
to all parts of the United States.
