SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON.
Being the Confessions of the Seven
Hundredth Wife and Translated
by Helen Roland For the
Washington Herald.
Verily my daughter three things a
man hateth—even these three:
1. A house in which the furniture is
too fine to be sat upon and 'the
chairs too good to hold his feet.
2. mA woman who attempteth to
convince him that he is wrong—and
succeedeth in doing it.
3. To be found out.
Yea, and a fourth thing and a fifth
he- despiseth; for a weeping woman
is unto her husband as a spigot that
leaketh and maketh a* distracting
noise; even as a sponge that scratch
eth or a collar‘ with a raw edge is^
she unjo hjm.
For while a woman’s first tear may
touch a man, her second boreth him,
and the rest as awet rag on a starch
ed shirt bosom rumpleth up his tem
per.
But a lady conversationalist is as
a fire that sputtereth and he fleet*
in teror before the sparks of her wit.
She strlketh him dumb, but not with
admiration. For in conversation, as in
me, a man only wanteth an audience
and hankereth for his own move in
a game of checkers. ■
Verily, she who hath studied the
ologies and discourseth thereon is as
a foolish child beside her who asketh
K man questions concerning himself.
For a man that talketh of books and
politics and new thought wearieth
withal; but a man that talketh of
himself never tireth.
Yea my daughter, there are but two
ways round a man:one leadeth throug
his vanity and the other through his
fear. For \frhile a woman may bully
her way over him, she can smile jier
way straight through him.
And the blond of the chorus know
eth this. She weareth always the
smile that won’t come off. Selah.

TARBORO HARDWARE GO.
John R. iJc".oer.
Doing an extensive wholesale and
retail business m hardware, farm
implements machinery and mechani
cal supplies the Tarboro Hardware
Co. is today one of the prosperous and
progressive enterprises in Eastern N.
Carolina. Its stock, installs and equips
cotton gins and saw mills, supplies
bills of hardware to contractors and
property owners, responds to all the
needs of farmers for farm machinery
and implements furnishes blacksmiths
and tinners with heavy hardware and
roofing material and anticipates and
supplies promptly a vast range of
needs in the mcchf i**ral lines gener
ally. The Tarboro Hardware Co., was
established in 1897 by its present own
er and manager John R. Pender, who
had for over twenty years previously
been successfully identified with the
hardware business. The beginning
made was modest and unpretentious
and stocks grew apace and addi
tional storequarters and ware- house
capacity became an imperative ques
tion. These were secured, but only
to provide temporary relief, until a
permanent solution to the question
was found in the erection of a fire |
proof brick and iron ware house build
iug, and which with store quarters,
10x100, two stories, or 9,000 square
I feet and a two story building in
the rear, having 5,000 square feet,
gives one some idea of the magnitude
of facilities required to fcamlle wlint
js still a ti i A,ng and cons'- -nlly grow
ing business. It will only be a matter
when the question of more storage
and store capacity must again be
settled, for already the increasing
stocks are crowding every inch of
available space. The Tarboro Hard
ware Co., are headquarters in eastern
North Carolina for tire best make
of farm implements on the market,
and their aggregate car load pur
chases from the manufacturers prove
them to be the largest dealers do
ing business in this line in the
State. They handle the Internation
al Harvesting ^Co. Gasoline engines,
the Chattanooga and Avery plows, cul
tivators, drills,- the Hackney farm
wagon, wire fencing and other lead
ing makes of farm implements and
supplies, castings and steam fittings
of all kinds are supplied promptly at
guaranteed figures, also all kinds of
hardware, cutlery, mechanic’s tools
guns and ammunition, and the thou
sand and one devices to be found
in every fiifst class establishment.
John R.“ Pender, the owner and
founder of the business is among
the representative citizens and busi
ness men of eastern North Carolina,
In eleven years his executive ability
and enterprising methods have built
up an important and a popular estab
lishment, whose facilities and in
fluences extend for many miles a
round in wholesale and retail lines,
and which in its development ha3
introduced and maintained for the
farmers, property owners, contractor
and mechanics the most advantageous
and satisfactory market conditions.
This same development has added to
Tarboro’s prestige and popularity as
a trade center, for the Tarboro Hard
ware Co., i3 an Important factor in
the aggregate of local trade opera
tions.

Ofrrmack’s Last Editorial.
It may be interesting to the pub
lic, to see the editorial in the Ten
nesseean that, according to the testi
mony, was responsible for the trag
edy, or at least brought the trouble
to a head. We clip it from The Ten
nesseean-of the morning of the day o
the homicide:
To Major Duncan Brown Cooper wh
who wrought the great coalition; wh
achieved the harmonious confluence
of incompatible elements; who welded
the pewter handle to the wooden
spoon; who grafted the dead bough
to the living tree and made it to
biQom, and bourgeon and bend with
golden fruit; who made playmates of
the lamb and the leopard and boor,
companions of the spider and the fly;
who made soda and vinegar tc
dwell placidly in the same bottle, and
who taught oil and water how they
might agree—to Major Duncan Brown
Cooper, the great diplomat of the po
litical Zweibund, be all honor and
glory forever!”
That is all there was to it. There
is nothing in the editorial to provoke
the shooting of a man and the tak
ing of blood-guiltiness upon a man’s
soul.—Columbia State.

A Town With a Business Manager.
An instructive experiment In munic
-ipal administration is under way in
Staunton, Va., a city of 12,000 inhab
itants where local authorities have
intrusted) the job of running the town
to a business manager. The city retains
•the form of political organization re
quired by Jaw, and is governed from
a Isgjt standpoint by a mayor ana
city council. These officers, Lowevdr,
have delegated the purely business
functions of local administration to
the busines manager, elected by them
for a period/ of one year and directly
responsible for them. He is given fret
hand iii buying city supplies and in
making municipal contracts. Every
three months lie submits a report
to the council, as to a board'of direc
tars, and his acts are passed upon,
usually with approval. He suggests
such legislation f-s is required to au
thorise his i rejects. In brief, life po
sition is practically the same a"! that
of the< general manager of a large
I business corpoi a- ion.
Stauutou's busines manager has
been in office since last April. Since
that time he has evidently made good
for after having given him a term of
one year, the council has re-elected
him for another term. He has saved
money to the taxpaj^rs according to
his own statements, and given them
an economical and efficient service.
For one thing, he was able to place
contracts for granolithic paving at 71
cents a square yard instead of the $2
the council was paying prior to *his
appointment. These results are analo
gous to those accomplished by the
commlsion plan of government in
other cities. As everyone knows, the
difficulty of converting a municipal
administration into a purely business
proposition is that local government
is a political as well as a ihniaess
affair, and the two things cannot be
legally separated. The Virginia town
seems to have overcome this difficul
ty by the simple expedient of em
ploying an officer to conduct the pure
ly business part of local administrate)
while the political functions ere re
tained in the city officials regularly
chosen by the people in accordance
with the State constitution and laws,
it is a system worth careful study
by all municipal reformers.—Washing

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.
need a sufficient amount of j
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak. v
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffic
ient amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let K£dol di
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. tVhen
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
Our Guarantee
Goto your druggist today, and
purchase a dollar bottle, and if you
can honestly say, that you did not
receive any benefits from it, after
using the entire bottle, the drug
gist will refund yodr money to you,]
without question or delay.
. We will pay the druggist the price \
of the bottle purchased by you.
This offer applies to the large
bottle only and to but one In a >
family. <*
We could not afford to make such 1.
an offer, unless we positively knew j
what Kodol will do for you.
It would bankrupt us. ^
The dollar bottle contains 25£ t-.imaf
as much as the fifty cent bottle.
Kodol is made at the laboratories !
of S. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago.
