The Ancient Art
Of Helping Yourself.
Ever go to a Sunday school picnic when you ’?i^ere a boy?
Course you did.
Remember how all the women folks used to spread the
tablecloths end to end on the grass, then dump ^em thick
vath the best eatables you ever ate ? My! Fried chicken ^bout
every two foot, with roll
jelly cake in between.
Well, yes!
Recollect how the Su
perintendent would stick
his handkerchief under his
collar and say cheerfully:
‘^Now all help your
self!”
Then everybody fell to
and helped himself. If
you were a timid boy and
held back till all the chick
en was gobbled up, you re
gretted it—you regret it
« still. You didn’t help
yourself, and nobody else
helped you.
Remember that picnic
when the gang of fellows
from the city happened
along and lit into the fried
fowl? City chaps are al-
w^ays hungry. They help
ed themselves, and there
wasn’t anything left for
the town boys but the
bones.
Life is a picnic. Not a
Sunday school picnic—not
exactly. But it’s a picnic dinner all the same. The feast is
spread for you. Everybody help himself now!
SUPPOSE YOU’RE A MERCHANT IN THIS
TOWN. THERE’S FRIED CHICKEN AND ROLL
JELLY CAKE ALL AROUND YOU, BUT YOU LET
THE CITY CROWD COME IN AND SNATCH IT
RIGHT FROM UNDER YOUR NOSE. ALL YOU
GET IS THE BONES AND SCRAPS.
The city fellow^s are helping themselves. They reach out
long fingers—the mail order monthly and the price catalogue
—and pick up the choice bits. Wliy don’t you try a few fingers
of advertising in your local paper, dive in ahead of the gang
from outside, get there first and help yourself to the chicken ?
‘^Now all help yourself!’’

General Kuroki’s Visit.
According to a reporter, General Ku-
roki, the Japanese military hero, who
has been swinging around the circle
in the United States, knows only three
English words. It is more than prob
able that the Japanese general at that
knows more of English than General
'Grant, who visited Japan on his mem
orable tour of the world thirty years
•jo, knew of Japanese. Nevertheless
Kuroki in America and Grant in Japan
received honors such as never have
been enjoyed by any other generals
traveling through lands alien in speech,
habits and history. All the world loves
a hero, a fighting man who ’wins,
whether his tongue be polyglot or pro
vincial.
We know enough of General Grant to
be sure that he would not have compro
mised the dignity of the United States
by any linguistic extravagance even
had he held at his tongue's end the en
tire Japanese vocabularj’, for the man
of Appomattox never was pompous in
public speech. One of his greatest
qualities was his modesty. General Ku
roki also is called a modest hero, “sub
lime in his simplicity,” and it is only
fair that 'we take him at that estimate
without' question as a matter of reci
procity. Personally the Japanese gen
eral seems to have made a favorable
impression throughout the country. But
the New York Tribune thus points out
the deeper significasce of the general’s
visit:
His viMt should, and we sincerely trust
will, have a far more extended and im-
portant effect than any merely personal
impression. It is not simply in liis iliai-
vidual capacity as one of the foremost
soldiers of the age that he has come hith
er, but also as a representative of the
Japanese nation, its character, its genius
and its ambition, and it is as such that he
is, after all, most appropriately and
most profitably—indeed, most courteous
ly—to be regarded. When thirty years
ago our own chief military hero went
abroad and around the world and re
ceived such attention and admiration as
perhaps no man had ever won before
on so vast a circuit, the American nation
was thrilled with pride not merely be
cause people and potentates everywhere
paid tribute to the personality of Grant,
but also because it saw in that tribute a
recognition of those national qualities of
head and heart of which Grant v.'as the
outcome and triumphant expression. So
it is fitting, and if we are to be logical
and just it is imperative, that we shall
regard General Kuroki as the outcome
and the expression of the genius of the
Japanese nation and in honoring him
shall pay tribute to the people whom he
represents.
When a Chinaman is introduced he
shakes his own hand instead of the
stranger’s. Having been civilized for
more than 6,000 years,’ the Chinaman
has found out a few things.
Those Kuroki staff officers who paid
gold prices for brass watches at a New'
York jewelry shop should have had the
aid of the coppers in protecting their
tin.
Canada has on trial a cast iron anti
strike and anti lockout law*, w'ith fines
ranging from $10 to $1,000 for each of
fense. It is a trial worth watching.

MINERALS IN TRANSYLVANIA.
Editor Sylvan Valley News:
Please allow me to submit to
the readers of your valued paper
the following report upon the
mineral belt of Transylvrnia
county, N.C.:
GEOLOGICAL STATUS.
From within the Southern rim
of the county, which forms the
vast intrusion of quartz, with an
enclosing vein of propbyry upon
the lower side for a foot wall and
one of quartzlte upon the upper
side for a hanging wall, here this
has been forced up into striking
prominence, with a northerly and
southerly strike and an easterly
dip, with the spurs taking anoth
er strike. In this particular
zone these minerals lie within a
garnet belt, particular to all cop
per viens in this section, between
limestone, quartz and granite,
and the strike, as hereinbefore
mentioned, is north and south
and can be plainly seen fully ex
posed on the surface for a long
distance. I find this great min
eralized trace extending through
this county. A quartziteand iron
dyke on the rim of the garnet
belt showing on the surface in
several places. The strike, or
trace, north and south and the
“30 east” passes down Diamond
creek and again appears on the
Nicholson or Stone Pile at Selica.
The traces or outcropping on this
vien are meager In extent, but
are sufficient to show the same
class and character of minerals.
The main intrusions, consisting
of a mixture of quartziteand iron
varying in extent and value out
cropping in many places from
30 to 75 feet above the other
formations. This outcrop is the
principal of the series and is
highly mineralized, carrying good
values.
ACCESSIBILITY.
These mineral veins are near
good wagon roads and at no time
over 5 to 10 miles from the rail
road. There is, presumably, a
middle vein which will show iron
pyrites and chalcopyrites, which
gives every evidence that the
sulphide zone, is not far distant.
It must be borne in mind, how
ever, that this territory through
which this vien passes has been
leached for ages and the true val
ue of these minerals will only be
determined by mining and the
point of redeposition, or sulphide
zone is reached.
LABOR.
An abundance of excellent, re
liable labor is available at all
times at from 75 cents to $1.25
per day.
WATER.
Sufficient for all necessary op
erations can be had from the
many creeks and French Broad
River. There is plenty of wood
for fuel and shelter purposes.
At the point where these min
eral outcroppings appear the ele
vation is about 2,500 feet above
sea level, conseqeently a mining
company could stope their ore
for many years to come. The
most favorable conditions for
cheap mining has been bestowed
by nature in this county. Tak
ing all things into consideration
this county presents a most beau
tiful surface indication and re
markable features. Although it
is not sufficiently tested to en
able one to measure up the ore
by the usual mode in vogue and
do it justice: yet no fair expert
can fail to see and note the ear
marks of this great county of
ores in embryo.
ASSAYS.
Silver, oz. per ton, trace.
Gold, “ ' “ “ ..125.
Copper, per cent, 2.75.
There is no gold in paying
quantities in this county. There
are traces of silver. While there
is a good deal of iron in the sur
face. I think it will give way to
copper at depth. The formation
is good for rich ore deposits or
veins. The fiow-outs are promi
nent, and I take them to be a
very attractive feature.

Challenge from Brevard Drug Co.
The Brevard Dru^ Co. are seeking
the worst case of dyspepsia or con
stipation in Brevard or vicinity to
test Dr. Howard’s new specific for
the cure of those diseases.
So confident are they that this re
markable medicine will effect a last
ing cure in a sho»*tf time that they
offer to refund the money should it
not be successful.
In order to secure the quickest pos
sible introduction they will sell a
reo;ular fifty cent package of this
medicine at half price, 25 cents.
This specific of Dr. Howard’s will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings,
constipation, dyspepsia and all forms
of malaria and liver trouble. It does
not simply give relief for a time; it
makes permanent and complet;e
cures.
It will regulate the bowels, tone
up the v,^hole intestinal tract, give,
you an appetite, make food taste
good and digest well and increase
vigor. Joy and happiues^s will take
the place of that “don’t care whether
I live or die” feeling.
Take advantage of the Brevard
Drug Co.’s challenge and secure a
bottle of Dr. Howard’s specific at half
price, with their personal guarantee
to refund your money if it does not
help you.
There is no need of suffering with
constipation, dyspepsia or liver dis-
t-ase when you can get sixty doses of
a scientific medicine for their cure
like Dr. Howard’s specific for the
small sum of 25 cents, my 31 jn 14
President Diaz of Mexico is
spoken of as a good and able man
everywhere except in Guatemala.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed^
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflamation can be taken out *and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
Caused by Catarrh, W’hich is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Cattarh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co.,
