There is a goodly amount of talk
through this section about 'prepared
ness" and the increase of taxes. The
two questions are "cussed" and dis
cussed in every crowd or knot of folks
you get in. I believe in adequate pre
paredness and taxes are necessary
when properly collected and judicious
ly expended. I predict the time will
come inside of five years that the
commissioners will appoint a man of
good business judgment for each
township who will visit each farm and
put a fair valuation on all lands and
this would lower the tax rate and in
crease the volume of money. What
we need in this county is an increase
of the holdings of small farms, and a
decrease of tenant farming. Prepar
edness to face conditions that will
arise after the world war terminates
are necessary. Proper restrictions to
control immigration, and a sufficient
embargo on all foreign-made goods,
otherwise they will conflict with
American made goods to the detri
ment of the manufacturer and laborer
pf our country.

CORROBORATION.
Of Interest to Morganton
Readers.
For months Morganton citizens
have seen in these columns enthusi
astice praise of Doan's Kidney Pills
by Morganton residents. Would these
prominent people recommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal
experience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy of endorsement? The
following statement should carry con
viction to the mind of every Morgan
ton reader.
Mrs. A; E. Payne, Green St., Mor
ganton, says: "I suffered from pains
in the small of my back and my kid
neys were, irregular in action. Final
ly I got Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Burke Drug Co. and they relieved the
pains and made me feel much better
in every way." (Statement given
January 18, 1908.)
OVER SIX YEARS LATER Mrs.
Payne said: "I am never without
Doan's Kidney Pills on hand. When
ever my back gets lame, I use them
and they relieve me right away."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Payne has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,
