That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobsoh's Eczema Ointment I 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.

Christian Advocate. The dreams of youth are passing with The fast increasing years; Sometimes we think ot ions; ago, And searje refrain from tears. The numbering years now passed and gone Check hope that once was bold, Because those years locked in the past Tell me I'm growing old. , As fades the. day when evening shades Sink down upon the vale, So life's light snn must pass away, And all its hopes grow pale. The once bo'd step more feeble grows, The l al ting gait reveals -The strength of youth is passing by, ,. Aud ago upon us steals. ' Oh! time, old time, how fast you fly And bear us on your wing; ; - The eye grows dim, hair streaks with gray, As out and on we swing. . And yet we would not fold the wings Of time's most rapid flight, Could we but know they bore us on To endless pure delight. ' i ' Oh! could we know that when this life, Thia earthly life, is o'er We still would live and meet with friends, The dear oues gone before, : ; Why, then we'd say, roll, wheels of time, Roll in your rapid flight; You only bear us to that clime Where comes no shade oi nignt. And there with those we have not seen For weeks, and months, and years. We'll meet again at life's pure stream, . Where there'll be no sad tears. But doubts will come and fears arise, That cloud the future sky, ; Which make us wish to linger here, Afraid, afraid to die. One thing we know, when we have quit, ' Have quit this mundane shore, We've severed every earthly tie, . And every earthly store. And so we cry for love and hope, Aud faith's bright star to cheer, Which makes the pathway sun more bright, And drives away our fear. O come, my Lord, and make me know - There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years, Where all is peace and love. With such a hand as thine to guide, Why need we doubt or fear, The Lord is good and we are his, The objects of his care. Then come, sweet hope, and faith and love, The richest blessings given. And bear us up and onward till We reach our home in heaven.

CURE BY.CUTICURA EASY AND COMPLETE Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the bead and we naa trie Desc aoctors to treat her. but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her eyes became crossed from the disease and her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about eiven up all hopes wnen ws read an advertisement of the Cuti cura Remedies. Wo at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolv ent and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Re solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then sne began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well.

New York, Jane 3. Bails hare met with a reverse owing to the heavy liquidation ( and bear? raids with a more favorable outlook for the crop as a menacing. factor in tne background. The heavy decline in quotations for stocks and grain have given some people the idea 'that the star of ball speculation is on the wane. Moreover, the government report on the 2nd instant was far from being as bullish as many had expected. At home and abroad the Impression was that the condition would be pat at 78 to 80 per cent. Bat the government stated it at 82 against 81.1 a year ago and 80.9 as the June average for, ten years past, "fitfds derive some com fort from the fact that the govern ment's report did not concur with some estimates of the incraased acre age of as high as 4 per cent bat In stead pat it at 2.8 per cent But even so the belief is widespread that the cotton area In this country this year will be the largest ever known.. West of the Mississippi large tracts of cat tle ranges and virgin soil have been broken up for cotton planting. The high prices are believed to have stim ulated cultivation to an unwonted degree. One indication of this is the enormous sale of fertilizers this year. Prices are some $20 a bale higher than those of a year ago. Besides. the bulls have had to contend against the dullness of speculation. Many houses have been advising their cus tomers not to touch the old crop months on the ground that they were too much under the influence of ma nipulation that to sell them was to invite a squeeze and to buy them might be simply "holding the bag" for the big bulls to fill. And the mills stick to their policy of curtailment. Spot cotton in most parts of the South has been quiet Dry goods re ports as a rule are far from encourag ing. The South has been selling new crop months against the actual cot ton. Large spot Interests have been heavy sellers. A. clique of bears at tacked the market from time to time with vigor. 'These Include men with Southern connection. Reports from China have been favorable. The high cost of living in this country is some thing to be reckoned with. Yet bulls have stood valiantly by their inter ests, though they may have reduced their holdings to some extent Mr. Patten has denied the reports that he had sold out his line. Messrs. Hayne, I Brown and Scales are still buying and supporting the market from time to time. The local certificated stock has lab terly decreased. Liberal shipments have been made to Europe from the local stock and Italy, Portugal and Germany have been buying to some extent at New Orleans. The weath er in Texas has suddenly become very hot Latterly the short interest here has greatly increased. Aside from the big bulls there has been drastic liqui j dation of long interests. The techni cal position is supposed to have been thus Improved. The statistics to many look strong and it is intimated that the big bulls are not really whipped yet. - On Friday prices advanced on re- i ports of an active spot demand here for export, bull support and covering by nervous shorts. Is a D( Mr Valaabla Tkia a Hat Statesville Landmark. "How much then ia a man better than a sheep?" Raid the Master, in arguing the question of Sabbath ob servance with the Pharisees. A man was regarded of more value than a sheep and sheep were very valuable then in the days of the Sa viour, but we sometimes wonder whether, in these enlightened days of the 20th century, a man. is regarded of as much value as a dog in North Carolina. In Cumberland county a f jw weeks ago one small dog, of no economic value whatever, bit 39 peo ple. One of those died with rabies a few days ago and the other 38 are taking treatment in the hope of es caping a similar awful fate. The eco nomic loss from that one worthless dog the loss cf the man who died, the cost of the treatment in time and money, even if all the others escape death and the mental worry, can hardly be estimated. In addition to the possible loss of life and the eco nomic loss constantly suffered from this Bource on account of worthless dogs, there is the loss of sheep kills 1 every year and other economic losses Inflicted by canines that enmoer tne earth: and yet any attempt to make laws designed to exterminate worm less dogs meets the fiercest opposition. Still, we claim to be a civilized and progressive people. " WIKlrlIBi In the cure of consumption, concentrated,eaaUyciigestea nourishment ia necessary. . For 35 years Scott's Emulsion has been the standard, world-wide treat-t.,t for ! ROOSEVELT AS "THE MAN OF DESTINY." Baltimore Son. There appears to be some justifica tion for those who insist upon calling Mr. Theodore Roosevelt "The Man of Destiny." Events seem to ahape themslves for his advancement. Even while he was far away In the jungles of Central Africa political af fairs were arranging themselves in the precise manner that would make his return spectacular. The time of bis return, which had been arranged Io?S.B(c?0 happens to coincide with thi fiailtical moment when the affairs of his party have reached the crisis and the leaders of both the two camps into which the party is di vided are calling to him to be their Moses., If Mr. Roosevelt Tiad been anxious to return to power and to of fice, he could not have shaped events more adroitly to further his purpose than they have shaped themselves. In an article in the North Ameri can Review Rabbi Stephen 8. Wise tells of a conversation with a former member of Mr-Roosevelt's Cabinet. This ex -official predicted the reflec tion of Mr. Roosevelt to the Presi dency and a subsequent change, in the Constitution which would enable him to continue in the Presidential office lor Ufa. The mere stating and printing of such an idea as this shows what a hold Mr. Roosevelt has upon the popular imagination. Nor ia it surprising that this is so. There has been in the whole history of the United States but one career at all comparable with that of Mr. Roosevelt. Andrew Jackson was a frontiersman, a politician of tbe "rough and tumble" variety, a rough rider, a soldier, a statesman and President He was intent upon at taining what he wanted and he was not overly concerned about. the Con stitution and the laws if they ob structed that which he thought should be done. Above all. he was a popular hero, the idol of the peo ple. " We have Bald that events have shaped themselves for Mr. Roose velt, aa if he were a man of destiny. Opportunity comes knocking at tbe door of many men and the. door, re mains caused. Ail that has happened for a commonplace man and a com monplace man would not have be come distinguished. It required real ability each time to take the tide at the flood which led on to fortune. iLacn important anair in tne career of Roosevelt seems to have led on to the fulfillment of destiny. His ca reer as cowboy in the West led him to become a Rough Rider in the Spanish War. His career in the Spanish War made him Governor of New York. Being Governor of New York made him Vice-President, and the assassination of McKinley made him President. Whenever an enemy has dug a pit for him the enemy and not Roosevelt has fallen into it In the White House he defied tbe most powerful politicians of his party and brought them into subjection. He was unanimously nominated for the Presidency in 1904 by a convention that did not want him. He forced a Congress to enact laws against its will, and upon one notable occasion he employed -the Democratic party to bring his own party to subjection. His career since the close of his term seems to have been a climax, but it is perhaps leading up to another cli max. lie leit tne country to engage in a big hunt. That expedition would alone have made him a popu iar hero. While he has been absent events have been shaping themselves f jr a return from Elba. On his way home he has received such honors and distinctions as no other Ameri can citizen ever received abroad, and far above those which came to Gen eral Grant when he visited Europe after having been the successful com mander in the greatest war of mod era times and twice elected Presi dent of the United States. Every event in Europe has tended to in crease his popularity at home. The death of King Edward happened at a time when it was supposed It would put an end to all the prepara tioi a for Roosevelt's reception in England. Instead of that be was made 8 pec lal Ambassador and be came one of the central figures in the greatest pageant of modern timeB. What next? Oalara af taa Law.

One often needs to know how to prepare a poultice or other external remedy ordered by the doctor. These same applications may be used to re lieve pain in cases of indisposition too slight to warrant calling in a doc tor. . Mustard foot-baths are. often pre scribed for severe colds, and for head ache where there may be too much blood going to the head, the object being to dilate the blood-vessels of the extremities, and in this way equalize the circulation. Mix one or two heaping table spoons of mustard with a little water and add It to the water in tbe tub which should le as hot as can be borne. Tbe bath may 1 given in bed by having the patient lie on hit- back and bend his knees. Spread a blanket over the knees and the tub, adding hot water from time to time. Let the feet remain in for fifteen oi twenty minutes. Counter-irritants are applied to tbe skin In order to stimulate the blood vessels of tbe surface and relieve the tension in those mere deeply seated. Mustard is perhaps the most com mon. Mustard leaves are to be bad at any drug store. They are superior to the old fashioned plaster only in the matter of being ready for instant use. They burn much more quickly and severely than tbe home-made paste of one part mustard to thret parts flour, but their action is modi fied by placicg one or two thick nesses of cheese-cloth between them and the skin. As soon as the sting ing sensation is acute and the skin well reddened, the plaster should b. removed. Poultices are usually applied in cases of deep-seated pain or cases oi continuous inflimation. Their most heat is very penetrating. They may be made tof corn-meal or bread crumbs, but linseed-meal is most commonly used. Stir tbe meal into water wbhich is already boiling, let this mixtute come to a boil, stirring briskly all the time. It should be very thick." cpreaa a layer a a incn thick on mu&ilnand cpxer with a layer or two of cheese-cloth, the edges of which should turn well over the muslin. Oil the skin with, vaseline. Applv the poultice as hot as it can be borne and cover it with a heavy towel, or, better, with cotton batting and oil silk. Do not leave the poultice on until it becomes cold; have a fresh one ready be fa re taking off the old one. A little "Japanese hot-box" or "hand-warmer" may be placed just over the poultice hot, so that chang ing is not necessary so often. Stupes are flannel cloths wrung out of hot water to which turpentine is olten added. Pieces of old blanket are useful for thi3 purpose. Fold them to the required size, dip them in boiling water and lift then to the center of a stout towel. Fold tbe towel over, seize the ends and wring as dry as possible. Carry it to the bedside in the towel and apply just as you would a poultice. Stupes are usually advised for abdominal pain, Dry heat is sometimes ordered for inflamed joints, and may be applied by means of hot flannels. After put ting them on, cover well to keep in the heat; change every ten or fifteen minutes. Salt bags are used for tbe same purppoee, also for neuralgia and earache. They are simply flan nel bags filled with hot sea-salt. They retain heat for a long time. When applications of ice are ordered a rub ber ice cap is necessary. They are ordinarily applied to the head in cases where the patient has a high fever. They are also used to allay inflamation; for example, In cases lot appendicitis when the patient is not operated upon. They should be fill ed i with finely crushed ice. Place lumps of ice in a bag of stout tick ing or canvass and pound with a mallet. Ktaga Pallllral aad Olhtiwlu. Monroe Enquirer. We have been reading in tbe Ral eigh papers about tbe "Wake county ring." Almost every day they ring in the ring, and after reading about the ring in Wake we casually picked up a little patent outside paper pub lished in Waldo, Fla., and hatmened to find this, which, with all due res pect to'the Raleigh papers is the best thing we have seen about the ring: "The church bell bow its - melodies ring, as its tones vibrate and linger.

Youth's Companion. Great many people seem to pride themselves on being well-bathed In dividuals on the ground that every morning of their lives they Jump for a short moment Into a tub of cold water. As a matter of fact, it is quite possible to perforn this for three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, and yet to miss entirely the real purpose of the daily bath. The cold plunge or shower Is excel lent in its way for those to whom it is suited, that Is, for the young and the vigorous, who react perfectly. For these it is invigorating an stimulat ing. As a cleansing process it is hardly enough, because getting clean does not mean merely letting water pass over the surface of the body. To be really cieant one must make sure that the millions of tiny pores, by means of which the skin does work for the physical economy, are kept cleared of waste products and in good working condition. The skin Is one of the most impor tant of tbe scavengers of the system, but one cannot expect it to do its work properly if its myriads of tiny holes through which it gives off waste mat ter are blocked. This waste matter Is largely given off in the perspiration, which is co ru ng through it ail the time, whether sensibly or Insensibly. If this per spiration is checked, the waste pro ducts are driven back into the sys tem, with the result that the other organs of elimination, the kidneys or the bowels, are asked to do double duty: and double duty is not demand ed of any orgau long without a bill having to be paid somehow, some time. To keep the skin in perfect work ing condition an occasional bath that really washes it is called for. This bath should take the form of plenty of warm water, some good mild soap a small brush, and above all a good rough towel, for the final rub Is really more important than the soap and water wash. The skin Is renewing itself all the time, with the result that it is al ways giving off minute scales, and it is these which largely Berve to block the pores. Any one can stand in a good light with a clean, dry nail brush and prove this. Use the brush vigorously anywhere on the akin and observe the minute dry nartides that will fly off. It stands to reason that a swift plunge into cold water and a gingerly dab with a Braooth towel are not enough properly to remove these scales. Jn fact, if one were bo placed that it was temporarily impossible to get at a bath, tbe skin could be kept in condition by vigorous dry rubbing so far as all the purposes of health de manded.

Boys are wide-awake chaps. Thry always have been, they always will be. And these boys are all the time looking for open doors through whii b they may enter life's great wide field. Some see through their open door a chance to reach high positions. They take much comlort dreaming about it. Others think their open door will bring them honor of some kind or another. Still others would be satis fied if somehow an opportunity might be given them to become first-rate farmers. One father I. know gave his boy this chance by offering him a few hens. "Take care of these hens," he said, "and (be eggs shall be partly yours. I will keep a part of them to pay fr the feed and other things we have to buy. You shall be my partner, put ting your work against my money." That was this boy's open door. His heart leaped to take advantage of the honor his father had bestowed upon him in making him his partner, lid began at once to do his part, and it was not long before he began to get returns. That is one good thing about poultry. One does not have to wait very long before he realizes something for his work. The years which slip away on the farm bring things to pass. The clock goes on ticking out on the farm just the same that it does in the great city factory. And time brought around the tday when that boy owned a splendid farm in a good neighbor hood, with everything human heart can wish right at hU hand. And it all came from that chance to work with his father in the poul try business. Tbe beauty of this is that prob ably that boy weald not have stayed on that farm if his father had not done what he did. There were a number of other brothers, not one of whom stayed on the farm. Some went into one kind of business, some another, and it is fair to suppose that this lad would have gone the same way. The hens saved him to be a good farmer. It was a paying venture. SaactlAcattaa as a Dtl-Par lag Agcaey Lexington Dispatch. Ten years ago some body stole a bale of cotton from the gin of Mr. Sam Simerson, iu Boone township, but as no trace of the thief could be found, . the matter was dropped and forgot- ten. Theiother day Mr. Simerson re ceived a letter from a certain individ ual who lives in the State, containing a check for $48 and a confession that the writer was the thief. He etolo the cotton cne night and, under cover of darkness, made his way to Win-ton where he disposed of the bale for the a o?e surr. Mr. Simerson never dreamed that this man was the thief, nor did any one else. And here's the secret of the confession: The man got religion and had become "sanc tified," and immediately got this load of guilt off his electrified conscience. The Dispatch isn't very strong on sanctification, but it allows none to go before it in testifying that as an agency for influencing the pay ment of debt, it id unsurpassed, this being but one of numerous similar in stance that have come under its ob servation.
