This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful
housewife replenishes her sup
ply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is certain to be
needed before the winter is over
and results are much more sat
isfactory and prompt when it
is kept at hand and given as
soon as the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled
in the system. In almost every
instance a severe cold may be
warded olf by taking the rem
edy freely as soon as the first in
dication of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it
to children for it contains no
harmful substance. It is pleas
ant to take —both adults and
children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. It al
ways cures. For sale by Hood

One of the small slates com
posing ihe Argentine Republic
has no use for Bachelors. The
law holds that a man is mar
riageable when he is twenty.
The exchequer gives point to
t'ie opinion by taxing all bach
elors of between twenty and
thirty five dollars a month. Af-j
ter thirty and up to thirty-five j
the tax increases 100 per cent.
Between thirty-five and fifty!
single bles?e Iness cos's twenty
a month. From his fiftieth to
his seventy-fifth year a bachelor
may follow his own wild road
by paving in thirty dollars a
month. After that comes re-'
lief. The vicious example of |
an unmarried man of between j
seventy-live and eighty is con-i
sidered to be neutralized by a I
payment of only twenty d >llars
a year, and when the eightieth
birthday is passed the treasury
finally ceases from worrying.
A widower is given three
years in which to mourn and
choose a successor, but a man
who can prove that he has pro
posed and been refused ee
times in one year is considered
to have earned immunity.—Tri

Everything is in a name when
it comes to Witch Hazel Salve.

to make a salve from Witch

For blind, bleed ins, itching and
protruding piles, eczema, cuts,
burns, bruises, and all skin dis
eases DeWitt's Salve has no
equal. This has given rise to
numerous worthless counter
feits. Ask for DeWitt's—the

How Good Roads Reduce Distance
and Increase Values.
Two men were recently dis
cussing the respective merits of
their farms. Said oue, I am
only three miles from the mar
ket while you are five," "Yes,"
said the other, " hut my five
miles lie along a level road over
which my horses easily haul
two tons,while you road i= hilly
and rough and you would not
think of putting more than a
ton and a half on your wagon."
Farmers are just beginning
to realize that the distance they;
are from market is measured in !
time not in miles: hence the
movement in favor of good
roads. The cost of getting a!
product to town is borne by the i
producer. A bushel of corn;
has different values in differentl
parts of the country and this j
value is the value in the ulti-i
mate market less the carrying
charge.
It will be easily seen then,!
that any reduction in the cost!
of marketing a product is to the
advantage of the nation, for if
the producer does not make the
difference the consumer will. It
should not be difficult to con
vince the city man that he is
directly interested in the con
struction and the maintenance
of good roads. If he can be
convinced of this fact he will be
willing to be taxed that road
building may be carried on in
every part of the county of
which he is a resident. The
value of land in remote sections
would be incaeased 20 per cent,
and in some ca«es ono hundred
percent by cutting and filling
and smoothing the roadway.

It will be good news to the
mothers of small children to
learn that croup can be pre
vented. The first sign of croup
is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child be
comes hoarse. This is soon fol

Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even
after the cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of
croup, in this way all dan

This remedy is used by many

never been known to fail. It i«,

can always be depended upon

GENERAL CARR FOE SENATOR.
WHY HE SHOULD BE THE
CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE
OF THE STATE.
Having Grown Up in the School
Tliat Furnished Those Skilled
Minds That Have Prepared
Tariff Legislation, the Dur
ham Man is Especially Fitted
For the United States Senate.
A Confederate Soldier and
Author of the Pension Bill of
1885 Asks His Comrades and
Their Sons to Support Gener
al Carr.
To the Editor of the Charlotte
Observer:
At this point of time we mu9t
look men and motives squarely
in ihe face. The careful reader
of current history, the optimis
tic observer of passing events,
cannot shut his eyes to this
fact that the ideals of expansion
and centralization have lured
us on like a will-o'-the-wisp un
til the sovereignty of the states
is overshadowed and the South
ern's last hope in this highly
favored land is threatened with
extinction.
We have been taught by ex
perience the useful lesson that
the love of power is inseparable
from the ambition of man and
whenever the vigilance of the
people shall slumber under the
sedative poison of misplaced
confidence, their downfall may
be reasonably ascribed to the
triumph of selfish demagogues
over a people who put their
trust in the frailty of human
virtue. We have had the evan
gelizing ministry of "benevolent
assimilation" in the Philippines
until there is scarely a poor na
tive to be tortued or massacred.
We have had the "brotherhood
of man," in Cuba until the ad
vantage of reciprocal trade and
commerce have had to yield to
the cupidity of monopolists. We
have had the anti-trust law with
the power of government to en
force its execution, and today
capitalistic combinations are
crushing to death thousands of
poor in the sweat-shops and
mines. We 'have a president
asking a grant of power to deal
without responsibility to the
people -with monopolists and
wage-earners to be placed in
his hands.
What a commentary upon
the "government of the people,
for the people by the people!"
What a travesty up*n the
civilization of "benevolent as
similation !" Will constitution
of the country warrant the des
potic transfer of the highest ex
ecutive power?
Legislation, too, is differenti
ating from former years. Sketch
over tho situation all the gossa
mer meshes of logical and po
litical sagacity, it still looms to
this, that the safety of the peo
pie is menaced by the capitalis
tic tendency of legislation in the
United States Senate. We
ought to have representatives
in the United States Senate
whose especial fitness and edu
cation will enable them to grap
ple with conditions; with the
perplexing problems of indus
try. It is idle to say that this
or that lawyer is disciplined to
such a task; we know the fact
does not agree with the state
ment.
If a treaty is to be discussed
in the Senate, it is the interna
tional lawyer who can give the
bast opinion; if some question
in diplomacy, it is the man who
has had experience in that
business ; if the currency, it is
the skilled financier who con
sulted ; if a question of consti
tutional precedent, it is the
statesman whose equipment is
thorough; if the tariff, trusts
and social and commercial prob
lem, it is the great master of
industry aud economical re
form. There are no private or
individual reasons why I should
support General Carr for the
United States Senate. My in
clination as a lawyer would be
for a lawyer would be for some
other candidate.
For three successive terms
one of the distinguished candi
dates was my colleague on the
judiciary committee. We were
rival candidates'for the speaker
ship when Col. Holt was elect
ed ; we were and are friends.
I am proud of that gentleman,
of his integrity, his learning,
his patriotism. The old State
and her interests will be safe
guarded as long as he lives.
The State says of these gentle
men as Cornelia said of her
sons, "They are my jewels." I
have in an humble way observed
the trend of human events, of
(Continued on fourth page.)
Our Homes
What we have said about the
barns and cattle are more im
portant about ourselves and
households. The home should
be comfortable. See that every
pane of glass is in. No room is
comfortable with a pane of
glass out of the window. It is
cheaper and better every way to
keep the cold out than to warm I
it when once let in.
Look to the supply of fuel.
Whether it be wood or coal, see
that it is at hand. Carelessness
along here causes much expos
ure and suffering and often
sickness. It is easy to work
now. Colds do not pay. They
sap the foundations of life.
There will be bad day,cold day?
and rainy days. Provide
against these so that you will
not be compelled to expose
yourself when they come.
See that the women are cared
for. Is the kitchen comfortable
for winter? Is the stove wood
convenient ami plentiful. Very
mauy of our wives and daugh
ters suffer unnecessarily. It is
the result of carelessness. But
all the same they suffer when
getting the morning meal in an
open stove room or cooking with
green and wet wood.
We canuot go over the list of
winter duties, but wish to say it
is important that you make ar
rangements for some good read
ing. The happiness of your
family will be greatly increased
by having some good books at
band. Your success next year
may depend much upon your
plans now. See where you have
made and where you have lost.
See what pays you to plaut.
Cast up your accounts and see
where you stand.—Southern
Planter.

sanctity of health in your own

Wise, Madison, Ga., wites . "I
am indebted to One Minute

trouble. One Minute Cough
Cure cuts the phlegm, draws
out the inflammation, heals and
soothes the mucous membranes
and strengthens the lungs.

Regularity in Advertising.
The unanimous verdict of
those merchants wh »iiave made
great success iti their respective
trades, is that advertising has
been the foundation upon which
thev built their business, and
from it secured success. And
the advertising which has
brought this success has been of
the regular and systematic kind
And combined with this regu
larity has been an attention and
intelligence in directing the
style of adverti-ini? which has
given an added value to it.
The value of publicity is to
day, as an asset to the merch
ant, but the publicity wanted is
the advertisement which ap
pears daily, not the kind which
is seen for a few weeks and
then disappears, leaving it a
matter of investigation with the
public whether the merchant is
still in business or has gone
away.
Ihe merchant, every merch
ant has an hour for opening,
and usually one for closing his
store, so that customers know
when purchases can be made.
There is a regularity in this
daily opening, in the continu
ous hours when gooils are to be
shown the trade All this is a
matter of professional business.
Its regularity assures the trade
which passes iliac the store is
open.
And yet merchant? who are
thus regular in their store open
ing, are too often spasmodic in
their advestising. They regard
a few weeks in the year as suffi
cient to let the public know that
they are in business. The re
sult may not appear so directly
in their own business, but what
they lose by neglecting to ad
vertise regularly, is easy to be
noted in the building up of the
rival merchant who is the per
sistentjjjand regular newspaper
advertiser.—Newbern Journal.
