ST JOHN.
Until a few years ago St. John
is a name that was rarely beard cf
in North Carolina. Bat it is very
different to-day. One of the best
known m-.mes in the State is the
name St. John.
All of this has been brought
- about by the corning of Mr. E.
St. John, the general manager of
the Sea Board Air Liioe. Bat
what a flatter along tha Una of
road did the announcement of his
coming create. The people were
up ia arms about it. lie had the
bitterest of opposition oven be
fore he had assumed the duties of
the office. All classes were op
posed to him. But this evidently
made no difference to him. St.
John was here for business, for
the development of the road, for
the upbuilding of the country along
his lines of railroad, and thereby
to add to the happiness and pros
perity of all the people. These
facts the people were not slow to
learn, and ia a very short time
they realized that a benefactor had
come among them. Opposition
vanished like snow before and
April sun, and to-day his praise
is upon the lips of those who for
merly opposed, and his name is
familiar ail over the South.. The
people are fortunate who live alons
the line of the Sea Board Air
Line, bec&uso the general manager
of the system, and the officers un
der him are always at work ad
vertising the resources cf the ter
ritory traversed by the Sea Board,
and invite strangers to come and
settle among them. In this di
rection wonders have already been
accomplished. The Sta Board
Aic Line is a great railroad sys
tem, a olessing to North Carolina
and the South. Mr. St. John's
argument btX:ro the rail road com
missi m in opposition to a rod ac
tion 'A passenger rates is out in
pamphlet form. It is au a bio doc
ument, clear cot, and is a stong
i:resentat.iou of the facts ia the
case. Mr. St. John cviouutiy be
lieves in the old maxim what is
worth doing at all i3 worth doing
well.

A fact often overlooked, or not
always understood, is that women
suffer as much from distressing kid
ney and bladder troubles as the men
The womb is situated buck cf and
very close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, tasease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary pas-
to female weakness or womb trouble
of some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for twenty-tour hours; a sedi
ment or settling is evidence that
your kidneys and bladder need doc
toring. If you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too
frequently, or scanty supply, with
smarting or burning these are also
convincing proofs of kidney tro'tible.

ready published the fact that the
Goldsboro Township . Sunday
School convention held Tuesday,
the 29th ult., was an unusually
interesting one. Allow me to give
some further account of it for
the benefit of those who dd not
attend.
The programme was 3arried
out without a break, every one
appointed to discuss a subject
being in place. E3V. P. W, Pa,r
ries discussed '-The Honor arid
Responsibility of the Sunday
School Teacher." Mr. H. B, Par
ker, Jr, , -presented the subject of
the "Home Deportment of the
Sunday-School," and Rev. F. D.
Swiadeli spoke on 'Soul.Wia
Tj'mg ia the Sunday School."
Prof. H. M. Hamiil, chief
Field worker of the Interna
tional Sunday School Associa
tion, was present accoruing to
announcement, and delivered two
addresses. The subject of his af
ternoon address was "UiOie
Study in the Sunday School." I
jriv'5 this outline of his sugges
tions: l?t. Every scholar and
teacher should have their own
Bible. 2nd. Memorize important
passages, at least the golden
text of every lesson. These texts
being always choice portions of
Scripture, selected with great

Study the Bible first and devel

taking up lesson "helps." 4h.

This method is a good one to en

prayer. This puts in receptive
attitude the mind for the guiding
of t he Spirit.
The subject of his address at
the evening service was '''The

marks he put upon the black
board: 1st Punctuality on the part of

Washington, April 4. Senator
Lodge stated to-day that he
thought Spain's proposal of an
armistice was a plain sign that
she is beginning to get down off
her high horse.
Senator Chandler stated that
the "peace" sentiment which
prevailed so largely last Satur
day among the administration
men, had undergone a decided
change, and that the cabinet offi-
cers were in a more warlike hu
mor to day.

After an experience of more than filty years, in
the practise of medicir.e, an old phj-sician said
that a cup of coffee for breakfast is a raost heal th
ful drink, and is very beneficial to all classes of
people, children as well as grown folks.
Of course the coffee should be pure, and of good
flavor. After a thorough test, we confidently
recommend our B. D. T. It is roasted, packed
in air-tight cans, and possesses a delicacy and a
richness of flavor that will please everybody who
likes a cup of good coffee.
