Not ona woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the expen se with an organism unfitted for the ' of strength, and when it is over . i system has received a shock from s hich it is hard to recover. Following ncht upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results, There is nothing more charming thaq a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am nio time in which to prepare, women r. ill persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong. If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confi dential) Lynn, Mass.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON, 6C6M Attys. for Executor, ' I COMMENT "ALREADY, YES." The Wilmington Dispatch'comments as follows on The Robesonian's re cent remarks under the caption "The Next Governor' "It seems to be the established rule or the normal mental State that no sooner does one political campaign cease than another starts; as soon as a man lands a position, even though the tenture is for four or six years, agitation, or shall we call it advoca cy ( ?) starts over his successor. For that reason there is already talk of who will be the next Governor of North Carolina, being the Democra tic nominee, of course. In this par ticular case, however, it is peculiar ly so that the incumbent does not have to worry, as but one term is allotted to a man as Governor of North Caro lina,, and while the State has not al ways profited thereby, yet such has likely eliminated a lot of wire-pulling and, perhaps, discord at times. There are many South Carolinians who, no doubt, of the opinion that they would have been happier and their State bet ter off had the single term for Gov ernor held forth in South Carolina. "But back to the question at bar: There is already agitation over who will be North Carolina's next Gov ernor, and the name of Hon. A. W, McLean, of Lumberton, is to the front, His friends or some of them, have virtually thrown his hat into the ring. Under the caption "The Next Gover nor," the Lumberton Robesonian gives the McLean boom a "boost," and, be sides setting forth some of his claims, declares that the '"State of Robeson' deserves recognition in a State office." This is particularly interesting as it will naturally be argued that the next Democratic Governor should come from the Eastern part of the State. McLean has been prominent before the people of the State for some time. He was a big Wilson advocate and a delegate-at-large to the Baltimore con vention, and he was a big Sim mons leader in the warm, in fact, very hot Senatorial fight last sum mer and fall. "The names of Attorney General Bickett and former Lieutenant Gov ernor Newland are still being men tioned for Governor, and, to be sure, there will be others." ANOTHER TRAIN TO WILMING TON. The Rutherfordton Sun wants Wilm ington, Lumberton, Maxton, Laurin burg and other points along this line to join with it in petitioning the Sea board Air Line to make some changes and put cn an additional train. Ex plaining what it wants, The Sun says: "There is a train that leaves Rutherfordton at 7 a. m., known as No. 34, and runs through Ra leigh without change, arriving at Hamlet at about 1 p. m. and Ra leigh about 4:30 p. m. The cor responding train, known as No; 31, leaves Raleigh about 7 a. m., arrives at Hamlet about 11:30 a. m., and runs through to Ruther fordton without change, arriving here at 6:20 p. m. The first amendment we offer is, that No. 31 leave Raleigh one hour later and arrive at Hamlet at 12:30 p. m., and we have no doubt that the Clinchfield can easily make its northbound train, with which No. 31 connects at Bostic, one hour la ter and thus make that connec tion there. The second amendment is, that a train be put on to leave Hamlet about 1:20 p. m. for Wilmington, connecting with the trains from Raleigh and Ruth erfordton, running to Wilmington by 5:20 p. m., and the other leaving Wilmington at 8 a. m., and arriving at Hamlet at 12, noon, connecting with No. 31 for Charlotte and this place." The changes The Sun indicates, es pecially the additional trains to and from Wilmington, would certainly add greatly to the convenience of the trav eling public. Bringing this matter of freight rate discrimination home, here is how it hits the farmers in the matter of cot ton ties.'as told in The News and Ob server: "The rate on cotton ties in carload lots from Pittsburg, Pa., to Lumber ton, N. C, is 40 1-2 cents per hun dred pounds. The rate to Richmond, Va is 20 cents per hundred pounds for a dis tance of about 500 miles, for the ad ditional distance of about 300 miles the' rate is 201-2 cents higher. On the same shipments moving to Atlanta, Ga., 381-2 cents; Charleston, S. C, 29 cents, and Savannah, Ga., 32 cents. This illustration shows that our towns are not only discrimiated against in favor of Virginia cities but hi favor-of towns in other-Southern States. Subscribe for The Robesonian.

Washington Dispatch, 12th. How the Government printing office and the Post Office Department helped in the fight against free sugar through the use of Congressional franks for sending anti-free sugar "literature" circulating throughout the land was brought out today by the Senate lobby investigators. Tru man G. Palmer, Washington, repre sentative of the United States beet ugar industry, on the stand the entire day, and the object of sweeping cross-examination, testified that more than 1,500,000 copies of arguments in behalf of beet sugar had been turn ed out by the Government Printing Office, made public documents by or der of Congress and had ridden on the franks of Senators and Represen tatives to the ends of the country, postage free. "Sugar at a Glance" prepared by him, he said, had attain ed a circulation of 320,000 copies un der the frank of Senator Lodge. "Re port of the Finance Committee," by the same Senator, had beaten the pamphlet by 80,000 copies. The franks of Senator Smoot, former Sen ators Curtis and Dick and the late Representative Malby, former Repre sentative Pickett and Representative Martin had swelled the total to more than a million and a half. The print ing of some of these numbers had been paid for by the beet sugar peo ple, the witness said, but the free postage had saved them about $28, 000. Mr. Palmer developed that "Su gar at a Second Glance" which he in timated was inspired by the Federal Sugar Refining Company and whicn was an argument in behalf of free sugar had also been printed as a pub lic document and had circulated unde. the franking privilege. He did not say nor did the committee ask why the frank was so used. Big Sums Spent. Mr. Palmer said the beet men had spent about $160,000 in their cam paign against free sugar .since 1902. About $50,000 had been used since last November and about $14,000 of that amount since the beginning of the present session of Congress. Much of it had been spent in "publicity work," in printing, salaries and a good-sized sum in motion pictures. He said that the beet producers in his association were assessed about five cents a ton, he thought. The last as sessment was made in April bringing in about $18,000 and the previous one in February about $17,000. TO SELECT RE-UNION PLACE.
