SENSITIVE
WOMAN.
There is a
wonderful little
tropical plant,
sine mimosa or
) sensitive piani
as it is called.
The curious
thing abflu it
is that if you
pinch any. part
of the root or
the stem, all
the delicate lit
tle branches
and fragile
leaves will curl
up and shrink
together as if
they had been
blighted with a
sudden frost.
Woman's
delicate and
sensitive or
ganism is re
markably like this little plant. If the
very roots of a woman's life are injured
or diseased, her whole being suffers, both
physical and mental. She shrinks with
in herself and covers up her sufferings
enduring all in silence as best she may.
" My son's wife had been for years a great
sufferer; all broken down and very weak and
nervous." says Mrs. Betsey M. White, of Stony
creek, Warren Co., N. Y. " She was troubled
with all the pains and aches one so slender could
endure. She took everything she heard of, hop
ing: to get help, but in vain. The doctors said
she could not live to have another child as she
cam near dying so many times. She tried Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it did wonders
for her. .
'This spring she had a nice toy weigning
eleven pounds; she got through before we could
get anyone there'. I was afraid she would not
five. We cried for joy when we saw how nicely
she got along. I cannot say enough in praise ot
your ' Favorite Prescription.' i never seni a
recommendation of a medicine before. I hope
all women will try it. May God bless you for
the good you have done."
Any woman may write to R. V. Pierce,
M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., in absolute confi
dence. Her communication will be thor
oughly and earnestly considered .and $he
will receive sound, professional, fatherly
advice (in a plain sealed envelope) free of
charge.
OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
" ' LOVE. .
EUGENE FIELD.
There are no days like the good old
days
The days when we were youthful !
When humankind was pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful ;
Before a lore for sordid gold
Became man's ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid be
came .
Slaves to the tyrant fashion I
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em 1
As "buxom, smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em 1
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
A piety all supporting
They could bake and brew, and -had
taught school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin' !
There-are no toys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together !
When the grass was sweet to the
brown bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer
dawn"
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill 1 the whip-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
love
The love that mother gaye us! .
We are old, old men, yet we pine
again "
For that precious grace God save us !
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fon
der, As those dear old dreams brine sooth
ing gleams
Of IJeaven away off yonder.

went through the Tirzah neighborhood.
in Jackson township, a few weeks ago,
and bit a number of dogs and other
animals. Up to date thirteen dogs and
two cows have shown symptons of
rabies and have been killed as a result
of the bites of the dog.
Stanly Enterprise: The wheat
yield seems to be much better than
was expected. A freak in the
shape of a five-legged toad was shown
us by Mr. D. C. Kluttz yesterday.
The fifth leg protrudes from the lower
jaw, and, though not as well formed
as the others, it is fully as long.
Red Springs Citizen: It is
now assured that Red Springs is to
have a cotton mill. A number of those
who have taken stock met at the office
of Mayor Pearsall last night and dis
cussed the. matter in its different
phases, and were learn this morning
that enough money enough has been
raised by our citizens to secure a $100,
000 plant at this place.
Smithfiefd Herald: The Dis

better order on the streets at night.

made its appearance in Greensboro,
true to the prognostication of the

lips were greatly swollen for a day or

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED.
Isaac Borelli Deliberately Set Fire to
His Wife's Clothing and Held
Her Hands.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
. Corning, N. Y., July 8.-Details of
a fiendish attempt at murder reached
here from Blossburg. tonight.
About noon to-day according to the
story of the victim, Mrs. Isaac Borrelli,
her - husband who conducts a baker
shop at that place, deliberately set
fire to her clothing with lighted paper
and then held her hands while he,
watched the flames enveloping her.
The shrieks of the suffering woman
attracted the neighbors, and she was
taken away from the man and the
fl&mes extinguished. . Her body was
badly burned and her recovery seems
improbable.
Her husband was arrested and
lodged in jail at Wellsboro. The
couple were each about sixty years
old and have a large family. The
husband's attentions to another wom
an caused no end of bitterness in the
family for a few years back.

GOV. ROOSEVELT
IN WASHINGTON.
His Presence There 'Has Given
Rise to All Sorts of
Conjectures.
CALLED BY THE PRESIDENT.
Rumored That He Was Tendered Office of
Secretary of War Protests That
.the President's Purpose Wag
Merely for Consultation.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, July 8. Qoy. Theo
dora Roosevelt, of Nsw York, is to
night the guest of the President at ..the
White House. He arrived here this
afternoon from Oyster Bay, in re
sponse to a telegraphic request from
President McKinley to come to Wash
ington for a consultation.
Governor Roosevelt was met at the
depot by the President's secretary, Mr
Cortelyou, and driven direct to the
White House, where he was. received
by the President. There was a snort
conference between the two distin
guished men before dinner, After
wards, together with Secretary Hay,
Secretary Long, Attorney General
Griggs and General Corbin, they sat
upon the western veranda of the
executive mansion for a longer con
sultation. His visit set afloat various rumors,
among them that he had been called
here to be tendered omce as Secretary
of War, to be given command of a
brigade in the Philippines and to desig
nate an entire regiment for service
there. He declined to discuss these,
protesting that the President's purpose
was merely to consult him regarding:
the organization of the new volunteer
army, especially the personnel of the
officers.
Laughed at the Question,
He was asked in so many words
whether the President had tendered
him the secretaryship. He replied to
this question only with a laugh.
The Governor's best friends in
Washington say that, regardless of the
facts as to the President a tender or
failure to make one; the Governor
would much prefer his present posi
tion as chief executive of the Empire
State to a fractionai term in the War
Department, and his treatment of the
question to-night renders this theory
as to his attitude most plausible.
Governor Roosevelt dictated the fol
lowing interview to the Associated
Press: .
"The President has told me that he
wishes only recommendations based
upon the efficiency of the men lecom-
mended, and that he will pay heed to
no others.
The President's Attitude
in the matter in the face of the terrific
political pressure to which he is and
will be subjected is such as to entitle
him to the support of all men who feel
that politics have no place in the army,
who feel that it is in a peculiar sense
the property of the whole country.
and that in the giving of commissions
and promotions alike, absolutely no
consideration should enter outside of
the merit of the men as soldiers.
"My own recommendations will be
limited to the men I had under me, or
saw in action, and to the members of
the New York volunteer regiments, pt
whose merits I have, as Governor, not
merely official knowledge, but also
the knowledge gained from personal
inquiry among their superiors."
Kererring to the general situation in
the Philippines and the policy of the
administration with reference to those
islands, Governor Roosevelt said :
- Philippines Situation.
"Of course, any American worthy
of the name must stand behind the
President in his resolute purpose to
bring the insurrection in the Philip
pines to an end. I have no question
that by the beginning of the dry season
General Otis will be in shape to stamp
out all resistance. Then the President
can and will see that the reign of ab
solute law and justice follows. It
cannot be too clearly kept in mind that
the whole trouble is due to the men
who, for two months, prevented the
ratification of the treaty of peace and
to those who declined to give the Presi
dent the troops he needed upon the
terms he asked. Those who took part
in the first movement to oppose the
treaty have on their souls the guilt of
most of the bloodshed both of our own
troops and that of, the natives of the
Philippines; and the would-be traitors
who have since been encouraging
Aguinaldo and his followers to the
limit of their small capacity share
the guilt so far as their feeble
powers permit. Those who opposed
giving us the forces we needed
thereby showed themselves the enemies
of their country1 and of the flag.
Every man who so voted in the Sen
ate may have the satisfaction of know
ing that he has done all that be could
to bring discredit on the flag and dis
grace upon our arms. It is all the
more to the credit of the administra
tion that it has steadfastly pursued the
fath.of national honor, and steadfast
y upheld the interests and the good
name of-the nation as a whole, i n
spite of the way it has been hampered
by those who sought to betray the na
tion; We have a right to demand the
support of every true American for
the administration's policy in the
Pnilippines, and every American who
is far-sighted and patriotic should join
in denouncing alike the men who
strive to give aid and comfort to the
foes not only of America but of civil
ization in the Philippines, and also
those other men who would prevent
our army's being equal to the national
need."
Governor Roosevelt returns to New
York to-morrow.
Messrs. Hay, Long and Griggs, and
General Corbin, remained with the
President and Governor Roosevelt un
till 11 o'clock.
It was . stated that they had gone
over the situation in the Philippines in
all its aspects, not only taking up the
question from a military point of viewr
but also considering its diplomotic and
legal bearings. The President evi
denced a determination to adhere to
his plan of sending only experienced
and capable officers to the Pacific
islands without regard to political in
fluence or personal favor and made it
plain that he meant to give the sub
ject his own personal attention until
the end should be reached.

A General Lock-Out Declared by Alannfac

Disorders So Par."
By Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 8. A
special to the Times-Union and Citi
zen from Tampa says:
A general lock-out of the cigar
makers occurred here this afternoon.
Four thousand people are thrown out
of employment by this action of the
leading factories of the city It means
that fully $80,000 weekly will be with
drawn from circulation while the
lock out lasts.
The manufacturers decided on the
step taken only after every possible
effort had been made to adjust mat
ters amicably with their employes.
They conceded every, point to the
cigar makers, except that which
demanded the abolishment of
the system of weighing fillers
at the Manrana factory. On this point
the split was made. The manufac
turer's association refused to accede to
ike demand and the men refused to
recede from their position.
Twenty of the leading factories
closed to-day and others will follow.
The suffering among the families of
the cigar makers will be intense with
in a week's time unless the look-out
is lifted. There is much excitement
in the streets, and meetings are being
held by the cigar makers in many
parts of the city, but there has been
no disorder so far.

ance is as follows :
"Hon. Joshua Levering. President
Board Trustees, Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary. Dear Brother
Your telegram of June 28th and letter
of July 3rd, notifying me of my unan
imous election by the Board of Trus
tees, to the position of President of
the Southern Baptist Theological Se
minary, were duly received. I beg to
express in the heartiest manner my
deep sense of the great honor so un
expectedly conferred upon me by
ray brethren. A profounded consci
ousness of my own un worthiness has
rendered me very reluctant to assume
the great responsibilities imposed upon
the president of the seminary. But
the many indications of a providen
tial leading in the manner in .which
this summons comes to me, constrains
me to regard it as a call of God, from
which I dare not turn away. I accept
the trust with theunanimity with
which the action M& trustees was
taken, and the cordiality and unan
mity since manifested towards -me by
the faculty of the seminary, have been
to me a revelation of confidence which
makes me humbly grateful. Recog
nizing the Christian zeal and earnest
unanimity of the Baptist brotherhood
of the South and in particular
their devotion to the seminary
and its high interests, through years
of sacrifice and toil, I place myself in
the hands of this great people in the
confidence that they will pray for me
and sustain me in the work which I ac
cept in response to their summons.
"And now, amid tender memories of
my past relations with Southern Bap
tists, and with good will and warm
affection for every member of that
brotherhood all over the South I crave
the high privilege of being in all ways
in my power the servant of them all.
"With high regard and Christian af
fecti n for yourself and the board of
trustees, I am

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa

medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most .refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening' laxa

dispelling' colds, headaches and. fevers,
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per

, Our last week's Advertisement
brought buyers to the old VonGlahn Shoe Store
who paid their cash and went away convinced that they had got
in the SHOES purchased a dollar's worth of leather for every 33$
cents they spent. .
BEAR IN MIND
that the chance to buy a FIRST-CLASS SHOE for a FOUKTIF
CLASS price, is not going to last forever, for the stock is sell
ing faster and faster each day, and will soon be gone, and then
you will have to wait until we can buy another Shoe house out
at 25c on the dollar, before we can offer you the same bargain that
we offer you now. .
The most stylish and best qualities of this stock is the part that is left,
because the cheaper grades sold fast and furious, and we had no chance
to show the finest goods. We are going to sell this week a lot of Ladies'
Fine Shoes in Black and Tan, from $1,00 to 12.00 that have been selling
from $3.00 to $5.0C. These are fine, stylish, up-to-date goods, whose
quality and appearance will convince you quicker than our words.
In Gent's Low-Quarter Shoes, both Black and Tan, we have that for
which every one is seeking "Something for almost nothing" a $2.00
Shoe for 90 cents, i
Ladies and Misses Slippers at prices that will make you buy "and
make you sorry when -you have bought' that you did not buy more.
You want Shoeu, we want dollars, and we are going to have your's o
some-one-else's, for the live bargains we offer are bound to gather the coin
