I She was the fond mother of a fine baby. But it was a crying baby. She unclothed it and looked for pins. Nothing was hurting it. She looked to Jhe baby's food. It was sweet and wholesome. But the baby still cried and wailed. Then she called the doctor. He examined the child and said ' starvation." " The child is crying for food." " But," said the mother, " it has all the food it will take." "The question of starva tion" replied the doctor,. is not how much food is taken but how much is as similated and goes to nourish the body." Pain in the body is often only the out cry of starvation. You eat enough but the stomach is not doing its work, and the nervous system is starving. Put the stomach right and the pains will cease, together with the uncomfortable conse quences of the condition. There is no medicine made which can equal Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the quickness of its action on the stom ach. It cures diseases of the digestive and nutritive system, increases the ac tion of the blood-making glands, and so induces a proper and perfect distri bution of the necessary nourishment to blood and bone, nerve and muscle throughout the whole body. There is no alcohol, opium or other narcotic con tained in "Golden Medical Discovery." " I wish to say to the world that Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery has proved a great hWsintr to me." writes Mrs. Ellen E. Bacon, of Shutesbury, Franklin Co., Mass., " as I firmly Kliw T ahnuM to in a vrrv bad state now if I had not taken it.

The-course of the weariest river Ends in the great, gray sea; The acorn for ever and ever Strives upward to the tree; The rainbow, the sky adorning, Shines promise through the storm; The glimmer of coming morning Through midnight gloom will form, By time all knots are riven, Complex although they may be, And peace will at last be given, Both to you and me. . Then, though the path be dreary, Look forward to the eoal : Though the heart and the head be weary. Let faith inspire the soul : Seek the right, though the wrong be tempting; Speaking the truth at any cost; Vain is all weak exempting When once the gem is lost; Let strong hand and keen eye be ready For plain or ambushed foes, Though earnest and fancy steady - Bear best unto the close. r. The heavy clouds may be raining. But with evening comes the light; Through the dark, low winds com plaining. Yet the sunrise glids the height, And love has hidden his treasure For the patient and the puue; And time gives his fullest measure To the workers who endure: And the word that no love has shaken Has the future pledge supplied, For we know that when we waken We shall be satisfied. 1 Detroit Free Press.

Question of Compelling Railroads to Pay Back Taxes On Rolling Stock Jim Crow Car Law City of Raleigh's Suit Against Southern R. R. Special Star Correspondence. c Raleigh, N. 0., July 28. The Corporation Commission will meet again to morrow ana resume consideration of the question of com pelling certain railroads, in the State to pay back taxes on rolling, stock that they have heretofore failed to list for taxation. The Southern has al ready had 'a hearing on this question j to-morrow the Mercantile xrust ana Deposit Company, of Baltimore, fur nishin? cars on the seaooara, ana me Seaboard and Roanoke, which supplies the Roanoke and Tar Kiver railroad with roling stock, will have a hear- The Commission win aeciae an inesi 1 mi A.

Jim Crow Car Law Another matter of importance to come before tne commission lo-mor- row is the "Jim Crow" car law. . It comes ud on complaint against the Southern. This road's method of exe cuting the law is very unsatisfactory to the travelling puouc,anaiiis pretty certain that the Commission will com Del a change in it. Uompiaints against tne souinern are:' l. That it aiviaes an its cars. 2. That it does not put both classes of negro passengers in one car, but second-class passengers are at the front end of. the train and first class pas sengers are at the rear end an ar-. rangement objectionable to white peo ple and inconvenient to coiorea peo rjle. 3. That adeauate accommoda Hons are not proviaea ior tne travel on its trains, It is pretty certain that an order will be made by the Commission cor recting all these abuses. The south ern will be made to conform to the excellent "Jim Crow" 'car system in vogue on the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line: The first pas senger coach toward the engine divid fA fnr thA two classes of colored Das sengers. The next car, undivided, given to white passengers holding second class tickets, and the third car used by white passengers having first class tickets. The traffic on the Southern, cer tainly bn the main line and on the Greensboro-Goldsboro line, is sufficent to justify the running of at least three cars on all trains. There has been a notorious lack of proper accommod tion on this road this Summer. Farmers' Institute.

The Erwin Cotton Mills Company, of Durham, has bought one thousand acres of land on both Bides of Haw river for a distance of about three miles, extending from the mouth of Roberson's creek up to and including the old Henley mill tract. The obiect of this purchase is to utilize the water power in operating two or more large cotton mills. In addition to the erec tion of the mills the company will also construct a railroad from their property either to Pittsboro or to some point on the Kaleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad. Already one route has been surveyed and several will be surveyed before a location is made. Special Star Telegram. Simonton Issues Another Injunction, A restraining order, issued by Judge Simonton at Flat Rock, on the bill filed by the Western Union Telegraph Com pany against the North Carolina Cor poration Commission, similar to the restraining orders issued by him in be half of different railroad companies last week, was recorded in the United States Circuit Court here to-day. The order restrains the collection of taxes under the recent assessment made by the Cor poration Commissioners, and provides that no taxes shall be collected from the Western Union Telegraph Co. ex cept oh the assessment of $600,000 val uation. The order is made returnable before J udge Simonton September 13th, at Asheville. It was to-day served on the commissioners, the State treasurer and State auditor, restraining the com mission from certifying the new assess ment to the State auditor, and the State treasurer from collecting taxes except on $600,000 valuation. The assessment last year" was $750,000", and this year the commission increased it to $11000, 000. Judge Simonton cuts it down to $600,000. LUMBER YARD FIRE. Destructive Conflagration Near Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. By Telegraph to the Morning Star, . UHIppkwa Falls, Wis., July 29. Fire which started from a spark from a locomotive destroyed the shingle diock lumoer yards of the Worth Wes tern Lumber Company, at Stanley. this evening. it soon got beyond the control of the department, which was assisted by all- the citizens forming bucket brigade. About nye acres v of wood and shingle blocks were goon en veloped in names, and the fire advanced rapidly toward the city. At four o'clock the mayor of Stanley wired to this city for help and a train with a crew of men are now there. At 8 o'clock to-night two houses on the outskirts of the city near to the burn ing yards were destroyed, but it is be lieved now that the fire is under con troL THE STANDARD BALE. Report of Special Committee of Savannah , Cotton Exchange. Report of special committee of the Savannah Cotton Exchange, on trie 21x54 standard bale of cotton: VAiifcnmrniltee. after a careful in vestigation of the 24x54 standard bale movement, neg leave to report: That we find by recent practical expe riments, that an alteration of tne cot ton press boxes to the measurement of 24x54 inches, a degree of density can be secured in compressing cotton which will greatly reduce tne size 01 the bale for shipment on rail and ocean carriers. . That the country press boxes, "with the exception of a few that have been changed to the 24x54 standard dimen sions, range in measurement as fol low?: 28x58, 30xtoana Mx.it. - That the average thickness of - a 500 pound uncompressed bale of ootton is 43 inches: the average space occupied by a bale of cotton based upon these dimensions would be 85,713 cubic inches, against 51,728 cubic inches for the same amount of cotton packed in a 24x.4 standard press box a saving ia space of 31 per cent, in iavor or trie standard bale, which is an important item in storage. ; That this bale, as it leaves the giu. is a iiatet' Dackace. better covered with bagsjing, therefore better protected against damage by exposure, and is more easily handled. That two bales can bu loaded fiat into an ordinary two horse wagon body, which enables the carrying of tfee cotton to the mar ket without damage by rubbing of the wheels. That the ordinary basiug when the standard bale has been compressed, entirely covers it. which makes it a neat and well protected package for shipment. That the larger the bale is in excess of the 24x54 standard dimensions, the less density per cubic foot can bo se cured in compression. The least of the above mentioned three irregular size bales, namely, 28x58 inches, aver ages, after ordinary compression, 38,016 cubic inches, against 20,736 cubic inches, for the same amount of cotton packed in a standard press box of 24x54 inches a saving in space of 45 per cent, in favorof the 24x54 standard bale of cotton; which reduces ocean rates proportionately That ocean rates on cotton are based upon the number of pounds thatthe bale contains to the cubic foot. Asav ing in space of 45 per cent, on account of increased density in compression which can be secured by packing the cotton in standard press boxes, will re sult in a reduction ot at least 40 per cent, in the ocean cotton rates. For example: Take irregular size bales 1,000 bales, Savannah to Liver pool, 500,000 pounds, at 45c. . .f 2,250 Against standard bales 1,000 bales, Savannah to Liver pool, out,uuu pounds at 45c., less 40xper cent, increased den sity.. 1,350 A saving in favor of the standard bale ; Equal to 90c bale. 900 That we learn from the actual ex penences of a large number of gin ners throughout the States of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama that the cost of changing their gin press boxes to the standard dimensions was nominal, ranging from $1 to $5. The cost depends largely upon the make of the press box in use, and whether or not the ginner makes the change himself or employs others to do the work for him. That heavy bales of cotton, weighing, say from 500 to 700 pounds, can be packed in a 21x54-inch press box with as little power as is re quired for the same amount of cotton to be packed m a 2ox58-inch press box. rnereiore your committee is con vinced that the 24x54 standard bale of cotton is a great improvement over the old irregular size bale, and we heartily recommend and urge that all ginners change their press boxes to the 24x54 standard dimensions with out delay. We further recommend and urge that all farmers insist upon having their cotton packed in a press i c ii r a . A A t j . oox oi me 2xa standard dimensions, .. . Henry T. Williams, President. J. P.

Complaint of American Competition Ver dict of German Press Oa Outcome of Peace Conference England and the United States Reviled. Special Berlin Letter Copyrighted 1899 by the Associates Press. 1 Berlin, July ' 29. The papers this week have been giving their verdicts on the outcome of the peace confer ence at The Hague. The tone of the comment of papers friendly to the confereuce generally is one of disap pointment that so little has been ac complished, while those opposing in dulge in gleeful felicitations that no more was accomplished. Lhe Sage- blatt considers that the form of arbi tration adopted marks an important step toward securing the peace of the world. f The most important result 'the Post see3 i3 that a method is now1 open to nations for settling difficulties, saying: While the conference has not ushered in the millenium, still it Bhows bat the powers are earnestly striving to preserve for the peoples the bless ings of peace." : The National Liberal tsoersen Z,ei- tung calls the final protocol a funeral oration, and says the results equal zero. The Kreus Zeitung. referring to the United States and England says : 'The nations that boasted loudest of their humanity made the stoutest resistance to really practical humanitarian pro positions." The Kreus Zeitung further points out that while England and the United States stood together in opposing the prohibition of bomb3 filled with nox ious gases, the United States backed up England's refusal to abandon the dum dum bullet The platonic declaration of the conference for the principles of the Czar's proclamation," the Kreus Zeitung continues, "intro duces absolutely no change in exist ing conditions. ' The Associated Press correspond ent's recent interview with Dr. Schwarzenstein has been reproduced in the newspapers herewith comment mostly friendly to the United states, but the Deutsch Tages Zeitung takes occasion to express distrust of the government, and says: "All depends upon the means employed for preserv ing friendly relations with the United btates. . American friendship is not worth having if it must be purchased by the abandonment of important Ger man interests, especially economic ad vantages, or by keeping cool when German dignity is wounded." The solmgen Chamber of Commerce reports that exports from that district to the United States have fallen off forty per cent, as the result 'of the Dingley tariff. The Dresden Cham ber of Commerce complains loudly of the increase of American competition. especially in manufactured articles. and explains that American superiority in tne world s markets is due to the extraordinary activity of the United States consuls and to the immense capital ol American manufacturing companies, permitting the greatest pos sible division or labor and specializa tion, enabling them to produce cheap er in spite of higher wages. The re port admits that Americans sell at low. even cut throat prices, but explains this by the assertion that high duties enable manufacturers to sell at high prices at home while they dispose of their supplies abroad at the lowest prices. The rate of;the falling off in exports , to the United States leads to the view that exportation will cease entirely and that it will become ne cessary for German manufacturers to build branches in the United States. The motive power of the Berlin street cars is being rapidly changed from horse to electricity. The result is that collisions are of daily occur - rence between electric and other cars and wagons. Telegraph boys will be experiment ally employed in Berlin, replacing men. The change will begin soon. A German officer has invented an acetylene searchlight which can be carried by one man and which will illuminate everything for a hundred yards. It is expected to be of great use in searching for the wounded after a battle and during bridge building at night. lhe announcement that one of the great American insurance companies has decided to comply with the re quirements of the Prussian law, in or der to be readmitted to do business here, is received with the greatest con sternation in insurance circles. The Deutsche Versicherunas Zeituna this week has a strong protest, asserting that experience shows that American companies are untrustworthy, and warning the government against again giving them the right to do business here.
