The germ can only prosper when the condition

Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that . ,
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
; with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of HobsonV Eczema Ointment , I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON.

THE BORN LEADER.
Opaatag ladtaa Grave.
Lumberton Dispatch, 27th.
Last week Dr. J. W. McNeill and
Prof. Charles Pea body of Harvard
University, who are interested In
archaeological discoveries in Cum
berland county, passed through Hope
Mills on their way to the Davis
bridge, about six miles from Hope
Mills, to engage in excavating the
large Indian mound near that point.
Six or eight men Were secured to do
the work of excavation and as the
mound is 30 feet wide and nearly as
long and many feet deep, it will take
several days' work to reach all parts
of it. A number of skulls and bones
have been uncovered,-and it estima
ted that fully one hundred and fifty
Indians were buried here long be
fore the advent of the white man.
A pipe made of a substance that
ooka like soapstone, and a well-de
fined tomahawk were also found. i
There are a number of Indian mounds
in this county, and most of them are
familiar to Dr. McNeill, who has
been investigating the mounds for
several years. In one grave i Dr.
McNeill found where more than one
hundred .Indians bad been buried,
evidently the victims of a sanguin
ary battle. One of the skulls , still
had a tomahawk sticking in it.
while there were arrow heads in a
number of the, skeletons, : showing
that they had been thrown into the
grave as they fell on the battlefield
with the weapons that caused their
death remaining in their bodies. !

New York, May 27. After a fast
of eight days, Dr. Gustav A. Gayer
finds himself 16 pounds lighter, but
stronger, he says, clearer in mind
and with better memory and eye
sfght. He will consult an occulist
fof an opinion on the .improvement
of his eyesight.
The doctor sleeps outdoors and
drinks water freely. He acknowl
edges that for the first three days
the smell of cooking drove 'him out
of the house, but says that harder
still he found the deprivation of to
bacco. He used to smoke ten cigars
a day. His hair has stopped falling
out, and he thinks it is turning
darker.
Throughout the test the doctor has
continued his daily exercise and lec
tures. He undertook the fast to
study the influence of auto-suggestion
on the body, and is so pleased with
the re&ults that be says he will pro
long his fast to 50 days instead of the
30 days firat planned. Physicians
will watch him for any dangerous
impairment of vitality, and should
such be noted the fast will be discon
tinued. - r

A stranger unfamiliar with Amer
lean methods, on going into one of
our big establishments, might get
the impression that the hundreds ot
employees who are hurrying and
scurrying about, doiug a great deal
1. II a a .
oi laiKing ana Dusuing, are respon
sible for the enormous volume of
business being done. But if he
should go into a certain private of
fice in the establishment, he would
probably find sitting there at his
desk, a quiet, serene, level-headed
man; a man probably of very few
words, who dominates and controls
all the activities of the hundreds or
thousands of employees. He is the
head and center, the moving loroe
behind all the hurry, bunlle and
show.
The ' man who aspires to leader
ship must be an organizer. He must
not only read men like an open book,
but judge accurately what to do
With them; how to weigh, measure,
and place them.
It seems as natural and as easy for
some people to lead, to command and
to control others as to breathe. There
Is something in their very personal!
ties that dominates others. They are
born leaders. They do not need to
exercise great will-power. They
conquer by the very force of their
presence their character as Hercu
les conqured those who looked upon
his gigantic powerful figure. No
matter what situation they are in.
they dominate.
Put a lot of strange cattle together
and they will very quickly decide
which is to lead the herd. They will
lock horns for a while and test their
Btrength, but when the leader has
once asserted himself, , by common
consent of the rest, who do not ques
tion it after the first test, he is mas
ter.
On every board of directors or
trustees, in every organization of
men, there Is always one who easily
overtops the others; there is always
oce man who by tacit consent of all
the rest Is recognized as spokesman,
as leader.
The leader is always characterized
by positive qualities. He ruled by
his vigorous affirmatives. There is
nothing negative or minus about
him. The positive man. the natural
leader, ia always assertive, while the
negative man Bhrink9, effaces him
self, waits for some one else to take
the initiative. A natural leader does
not need to urge those nnder him.
They will follow wherever he goes.
A good chess player must be ab'e
to see a dozen moves ahead. He
must keep constantly in mind the
unexpected, so that he may meet
every move of his opponent.
Looking ahead is characteristic of
the leader. It is the man who can
see far into the future that is wanted
everywhere. The man who can
provide for the unexpected, for the
emergency, is the safe man.
On the other hand, there is such a
thing as knowing so much and pee
ing so much that it makes one timid
about undertaking the lead.
Someone says: "It is generally
the man who does not know any
oeiier wno aoes ine things that can
not be done. - You see, the blamed
fool does not know that It can not be
done, so he goes adead and does it."
Scholarship, often kills Initiative.
Scholars are proverbially timid when
it comes to great undertakings. The
man who knows little outside of the
particular thing he nndei takes fre
quently has courage because he does
not see the risks, the possible dan
gers of failure, of disaster, as clearly
as a more intelligent, better educated
man sees them. His range of vision
is narrow; he just sees ths step he is
taking, and so he plunges in with all
his energy and enthusiasm.
Everywhere there are men who
murder the English language every
time they open their mouths; men
who know almost nothing of books
or schools, who are doing things that
the college-bred man shrinks from
attempting. -
Whether the leader be educated or
uneducated, he is always able to
draw the line between theoretical
knowledge and practical ability. He
knows that ability that can not be
practically applied is useless so far as
his work is concerned.
There were many men nnder Gen
eral Grant who were better educated,
more cultivated, more widely read
than he, but who could not trans
. a. a a
mute meir Knowledge into power.
On the other hand, what Grant knew
he could turn to practical use.
You can not be a general and
private at the same time. You mu?t
either lead or follow; you must either
make the program or help carry it
out You can not do both If you ex
pect to do anything big.
The success of the great general de
pends largely upon his ability to sur
round himself with a staff of officers
who can carry out his orders, execute
his plans. Grant had many officers
who could work harder than he, but
be could outgeneral them all.
A leader mut be a man of prompt
decision. If he vaci'li'f, It ha r.-vcr
quite knows bow to take the next
step without consulting some one
else, his followers, his employees will
soon lose respect for him.
"You can not do the biggest things
in this world unless you can handle
men, and you can not handle men if
you are not in sympathy vith them."
The greatest leaders are those who
combine executive ability with
kindness and consideration. Em
pioyees will not only follow such a
leader, but follow him enthusiasti
cally, work for him nights and holi
days do anything to help him along.
But if they see mud at the bottom of
his eyes, if he lacks the qualities of
manhood, if they see nothing In him
to admire and respect, they will tol-
low, if they follow at all, as the slave
follows his master.
There Is no system, there are no
ruh s of Lusineas by which a man ran
force poople to be loyal to him ami
enthusiastic for his welfare. Thorn
must be qualities ir himself which
will call out their voluntary confi
dence and respect. They must see
that he is businesslike, that he has
executive ability, that he has the
qualities of leadership. Then they
will follow with zeal and loyalty.
If you are a leader, an employer
in any line, it is idle to expect that
you can call out of your employees
qualities which are vastly superior to
those you possess yourself. The very
Idea of leadership is superiority, T ree
of character, executive push, the
ability to plan and put an under
taking through to a finish.
If you are afraid of making ene
mies, do not try to lead, for the mo
ment you step out of the crowd and
show originality, individuality, you
will be criticized, condemed, carica
tured. It is human nature to throw
stones at the head lilted above the
Crowd.
No great leader ever yet escaped
the jealousy and envy of those who
could not keep up with him or do
what be did.
A leader must be positive, aggress
ive. He must have an iron will, an
inflexible purpose, and boldness bor
dering on audacity; he must be able
to defy criticism without being in
sensible or indifferent to it.
Some of ur great leaders have been
extremely sensitive in this respect.
Criticism was very painful to them,
yet they had the qualities of leader
ship which urged them on in spite of
the pain caused tjy harsh and UDjust
criticisms. Many worthy young
men have retired from the race for
leadership because of the sting in
flicted ty the malice and envy of
their fellows. They did not think
the honey worth the sting.
Large leadership today calls for
great breadth of view, for the same
qualities which made the leader In
the past, but much enlarged and de
veloped to meet the needs of our
time. The vast combinations, the
enormous interests involved in our
large concerns today require colossal
leadership.
'Organization is the one overtow-
ering necessity of the times. It comes
logically of the vast interests put into
one business through incorporated
capital." There never was such a
demand for leaders, men who can do
things, as there is today.
