Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for coiv
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork, was the advice to the
consumptive co and 100
years ago.
Sz It pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsion is the mod
ern method of feeding fat to
, jhe consumptive. -Pork m too
rough tor sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared tor easy digestion,
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
vScott s iMiiulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in bcott s Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak part ; a:vl has a special
action on th diseased lungs.

i ' A Mrs. Fred Unrath.
Washin0ton Letter.
Special Cor. T Courier.
Not long ago Mrs. John A. Logan,
writing in the New York American.
said that there was not one. dooeut
play on the American stage today,
While it ib
true that the sreat ma
jority of plays now on the stage in
this country are of the risqne, rotten,
iibald sort that appeal to the very
worst element in man's nature, anil
are a sad commentary on the morals
of our people, yet there are some
clean plays on the stage and. Mrs.
Loean oucrht to sro and see at least
one of them. That play is "I or Jr.
State Folks" that has jnst 1 nn a suc
cessful season in this city at the
Lafayette Theatre ajtd is managed
by the veteran manager for all of the
lamented unarlie Jtioyt'S plays, Mr.
Fred E. ' Wright, All of Charlie
Hoyfs ' plays wore clean. Their
humor was clean aud never was sug
gestive or vulgar and Fred Wright
will not manage a bIiow that is not
clean. He now has the best and the
cleanest show on the American staire.
and though he is "bucking" the
theatre trust that controls all the
bet play houses in the country, he
is making a success such as is de
served by such a show, and it is a
good sign of the times and augurs
well lor the people and indicates a
renaissance of good, old time moral
ity before the conntry became cor
rupted by the age of commercialism
that has seemed to sop all the gener
ous impulses from our natures.
"York State Folks" is a simple,
plain, honest story told by simple
plain and honest folk. The every
day life of the kind of people we see
in our own homes, who move aud
have their beings with us and are a
part of our daily existence. The
kind of neonle who are honest be
cause they don't know how to be
uny tlung else. A story ot love and
duty and suffering and forbearance
and of a stony- hearted father whose
heart hnally was melted by paternal
affection. A story enacted almost
every day in our conntry villages by
men and women who make up the
best of the population of our coun
try, because they are inured to the
rougher side ot me, because they
have gone barefoot over plowed
Ids and nave absorbed the electnc-
ty from mother earth that has
broadened their natures and tilled
them with a love for. humanity. A
story,that reveals to us the kind of
people from whom spring the ablest
men and best women in all the laud
and who will yet save our blessed
country from moral injury at the
hands of cormorants who would bar
ter its bilthrightior boodle. If the
oppoituuity ever presents itself, go
and see this show this sermon from
the stage, this clean-hearted refresh
ing play. Yon will be a better hus
baiul, father, brother, lover; a better
wife, mother, sister, sweetheart, and
you will leave the play with a song
in your heart that will be to you for
ever aud forever a benediction.
Sneaking of commercialism run
riot, there U now a movement on
foot in tbe national capitol to .in
crease the salary of the President of
the United States from $50,000 to
s 100,000 a year, and the argument
made by the advocate of this move
ment is that all the potentate of the
old couutries receive much larger
salaries and that the presidents ot
railroads and of commercial concerns
get more money for their woi k than
does the President o1 the United
States. If this thing ever starts,
where will it stop? hvery man in
the employ of the government will
want his stipendiary emoluments in
creased from President down to spit
toon cleaner and the tax payers ot
the country will be swamped with
debt. This Is essentially republi
can idea. That party has ever been
the party of commercialism and ma
teralism and never a party with an
ideal. It believes the man who rnns
forth Presidency of this cation
does so for the salary rather than
for the honor of the position. '
Thank the Lord for the cowardice
of the average politician, this move
ment will get no Inrtber than the
Lure of inciniencv aad one peculi
ar republican idea will have cued a
borrun'.
The representatives of all ths for-
eizn nations in the national capital
are hedging themselves, and each
other over the YenesneUn situation.
President BooeeveH is the first Presi
dent of ths United States who ever
had the tentnity to attempt to define
the Monroe Doctrine, and his defini
tion thereof stilts tte parposesof the
foreign nations who are anxious to
exploit thacoantriesof South Ameri
ca. They now think they know how
Ur thay can go and they will go
good deal farther than they ever
dared go in the past. If this country
makes a protest, they will gaily point
to the message of President Botne
velt of last year as jostiflcation for
the coarse they are now pursuing
and they will win cot on it. They
are going to make an attempt to eolo
mae some of those oour. tries as sare
aa gam's iion aad yea tmj stark

going to get into tfMM5 and if we
do, we may thank the irwiit admia

"something daing". Let ns hope
that the hand of time may not be
too leaden in its movements in point
ing to tbe hour for this devoatly-to-
te-withed consummation.
If the good people of tbe country
are expecting the Republican party
to enact any legislation during this
session of Congress that it promised
so faithfully from the stump in the
last campaign, they are doomed to
sore disappointmsnt There will be
nothing done except the passage of
the necessary appropriation bills and
adjournment on the 4th of March.
The Statehood bill will be talked to
death in the Senate, all the reciproc
ity treaties, including that with
Cuba, will meet the same fate, and
any man who asks for revisiou of
the tariff at the hands of a Republi
can Congress will get the hoarse
hoot This Uemtblican Conirress. or
any other Kepublican Congress, will
do nothing along these lines until
made to do so by the force of public
opinion expressed in .tones so loud
that all may hear. In the meantime
the people are paying the piper that
the trusts may dance, it will con
tinue to be just this way so long as
the people are neglectful of their
duties and remain away from the
polls on election days. When win
the awakening comer
Instead of Con cress CTanDlinc
with the serious problems before it
and doing business as the country
had a right to expect, it hangs back
and balks at any and every sugges
tion looking to the accomplishment
ot beneficial legislation in any dir
ection. The Republicans act as
though they knew the situation was
loaded but didn't know which was
tho business end, and were afraid to
take bold pf it for fear the old thing
might go off. The Democrats are
suggesting legislation with no ap
parent effect and must content them
selves with waiting for the opposi
tion policy to show its head; while
the Republicans are afraid of their
job and dread to make a move lest
tbey tip their hand and give their
opponents an advantage. And be
sides all this, they don't know what
to do, poor things. They are like
the Pharisees of old, they are waiting
for a sigh. They are trvinsr to vet
an insight in the future. They want
to know what is-expedient. But
they have too large a contract on
niuir uanus. xney are iiKe me man
who caught the bear and then want
ed somebody to help him let go.
Their confidence in the situation is
growing smaller by degrees and
beautifully less. If they dare touch
the tariff, the entire protectionist
gang will be npon their backs. If
they tackle the trusts, every one of
the monsters will be at their politi
cal throat If they offer any modi-!
cum of relief to Cuba through reci
procity, both or the above combina
tions will howl like a pack of hun
gry wolves, ar.d this is the "situa
tion" that is keeping the "bellweth

deeply perplexed.
Buncombe County's Good Roads.
- A visitor to the beautiful city of
Asheville cannot fail to be imcress-
ed with the charm and indeed the
practical value of the macadam
roads that are being constructed ua-
der ths intelligent supervision of the
Hoard of County Commissioners of
Buncombe comity. The Urge pri
vate estates in the suburbs of Ashe
ville contain many miles of high
class stone roads. These beautiful
driveways are by no means the least
charming feature of this growing
city which has come to be known as
the "yneen City ot the Mountains." j
It is a matter of more than ordinary
interest to know' that the construc
tion of these roads is carried on
with scientific skill which insures
their permanency; especially so in
view of ths fact that their repair is
not neglected for a length of time
sufficient to allow them to become
permanently injured. A recent let-
tor from the President of the Uood
Roads Association ox Aahevilie and
Buncombe county ex plains something
of the working of the system in that
county which is of Interest to the ad
vocates of well emit cnaendamiMd
roads. ,11 says "Fonr year ago the
county had about two miles of Maca
dam road, and that bat poorly built;,
today the six wain roads entering the
city are macadamised to an average'
distance of fonr or five miles and
the work in almost every instance
has been done under scientific prin
ciple of road making and comparts,
favorably with ttie roads of similar
character U almost any,, part of - the
conntry. The work that is sow be
ing dona b firstelaa in every respect
and every oare is used in toe selec
tion of rock to be naedand class of
workmanship. .
1 he present county cornmisaorier
are progressive and are lending every
aid to the good roads movement. r A
year ago the chairman ef the county
cotnmitmoners attended ths Interna
tional Good Boa&, Congress at Buf
falo and has in every way . made a
tody of tbe improved 3ibods of
building highway. The county has
a steam roller as well as a horse rol
ler, and two organised forces f eon

' Cumnock Coal Mine-
Mr. Andrew Joyner. in his Greens
boro correspondence sent out recent
ly, reports an interview with Mr. G.
0. McGregor, chief engineer of the
Maicigh A Western railroad:
Mr. McGregor says that the sur
veyed line from its connection with
the Seaboard Air Line at Colon, 39
miles southwest of Raleigh, to Greens
boro, has been nnallv located and
adopted; that of this line eight miles
between Colon and the Cumnock
mines are no iv in operation and 15
niilos additional toward Greensboro
are now graded; that two iron hridgoe
of 160 foot span each, one for use at
Cumnock, the other at Ramsenr, at
both of which points the line crosses
UeB itiver. have been bought and
ar!iowon the 'ground ready, for
erection. -
The location of the linn has been
made with a view of offering all pos
accommodation at the varions indus-
trioa alomr the route, while the alien
meut and grades are all favorable for
economica operation.
Mr. McGregor admits that while
North be was informed that the
railway company had arranged to ac
quire uiu ifUiuuou laroi uiiuev auu
open them np on a large scale, pre
sumably by sinking a shaft of large
pronoruous mat mil prormu lur uu
output of at least 1,200 tons per day,
the object being to supply coal to
adjacent markets to the extent ot de
mand and convert into coke all the
surplus. This plan, he states, was
adopted only after a thorough can
vass of the coal requirements of the
section through which the road
will be built and a thorough investi-
fition of the probable cost of pro
ud ng the coal on a large scale.
Such of the present products of
these mines as arc not shipped to
local industries on the Seaboard Air
Line, Raleigh being among the locali
ties that hike targe tonage, go to
Greensboro, High Point, Pomona,
Randleman, Ramseur, Winston and
sundry points on the Southern Rail
way, The demand is far in excess
of the present yield, but with capa
city increased and the uaieign a
Western Railway completed, it is
believed that the entire output f
tbe mines will be absorbed by indus
tries on the rails of this company.
In this connection Mr. JHcuregor
thinks that his company will prove
a veritable deliverance to this section,
expressing the opinion that with the
evolution of the plans now under
contemplation, $1-60 coal will not
only be possible, but practically as
sitrid, "thus solving the secret of
cheap fuel. It is quite certa'n, savs
Mr. McGregor, that this would be
possible through no other channel
than the Raleigh and Western and
that road should receive the support
of every entorprrn in rn(xnHno,
