HENRY BLOUNT'S CAREER.
Tarheel Ward Painter Comes Very
Near Going On the Stage.
Mr. Henry Blount, of lecture
platform note gave the Sun a most en
joyable call yesterday afternoon, says
the Salisbury Sun. With a delightfully
interesting story, he amused the Sun
force by a rehearsal of his experience
while a young man.
Mr Blount said that in his younger
vears he vas seized with a desire to go
upon the stage. He said he believed he
could make the greatest actor on the
American boards and wrote frequent
letters to Edwin Booth then in New
York. Booth paid no attention to them
and finally Mr. Blount went to New
York to see him. Finding his quarters,
he asked for admission which was re
fused. Mr. Blount insisted upon being
given a chance to see Booth and the
tragedian finally allowed Blount to see
him. "Wh t do you want" said Booth
very gruf ?" '"I want to join your
theatrical company" was the modest
reply. "And what can you do. Booth
again asked. "I am a greater actor than
you are," the aspiring fellow said, "for
you can do tragedy only, while I am
just as good as a comedian." He
"doesn't lack cheek, if he does talent,"
Mr. Booth remarked to a by-sitting
friend. "Let me hear you give Mark
Mark Anthony's oration over the grave
of Caesar." And when Mr. Blount had
finished this, the great actor warmly
grasped his hand and congratulated
him. "Now what can you do in com
edy?" "I can beat Joe Jefferson in Rip
Van Winkle," Mr. Blount stoutly de
clared. "That's Mr. Jefferson, sitting
there." Mr. Booth ejaculated, and Mr.
Blount gave something from Richelieu
which completely captured the great
tragedian and the equally great come
dian. '
Booth, immediately offered him 3rd
place in his company, and he came back
to. North Carolina the happiest mortal
on earth. He told his home people and
his sweetheart, the latter especially
discouraging his histrionic hopes. "I
thought then that a man never loved
but once" Mr. Blount quietly remaked,
but I have loved seven hundred times
since and . they talked me out of it.
Booth frequently told me that I had
missed a fortune by missing ,the stage.
He wrote me friendly letters up to the
time of his death. I did some newspa
per, work in New York and once attend
ed a great concert and was persuaded
tc write it up. The editor of the World
pushed the production aside contemp
tuously, the editors of two other papers
did the same and I was asked to give it
to the Tribune. I said I wouldn't sub
mit it to a radical paper, but did final
ly and it so happened that the musical
critic was away and my article was
printed. I-was then enabled by reason
of a Tribune check to go everywhere
in" New York. Afterwards I returned to
Wilson hoping to make the Mirror as
big a paper as the Tribune. After fif
teen years, I gave up the idea."
Mr, Blount has other interesting
things to relate of his evintful life and
they would fill columns too.
FIGHT WILL BE BlTTER.
Those who will persist in closing
their ears against the continual re
commendation of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, will have a
long and bitter fight with their
troubles, if not ended earlier by fatal
termination. Read what T. R. Beall o
Seall, Miss, has to say: "Last fall my
wife had every symptom of consump
tion. She took Dr. King's New Dis
covery after everything else had
failed. Improvement came at once and

THE GREAT NATURAL MINERAL WATEj REMEDY, men and
women from all over this country have been cured of Chronic Diseases after man
made medicines failed, Not one of these persons had to leave home to take the treatment.
It is no longer necessary to spend time and money by going to the Springs. , The Water is
reduced to such a degree that 8 ounces of it equals io gallons of the Natural Water, and
produces much better results than if this quantity was used at the Springs. The Concen
trated Water contains 20 different minerals, which are nearly identical with those compos
ing a healthy human system. When a person is sick, it shows that some of these important
minerals have escaped, and health cannot be expected until they are replaced. ;
There is no treatment known to science which restores lost vitality like Piedmont
Concentrated Iron and Alum. If you have two or three complaints, it will cure
all of them just as easily as if you had only one, for it gets into your system thoroughly, and
gives to every organ of the body that which is needed, whether it be iron, magnesia or
aluminum, etc. Should there be several sick ones in your family, give the Concentrated
Water a trial for your own disease this will prove what we have said; then let them all
drink at this Celebrated Mineral Spring, which you have placed under your own roof. .
If we cannot benefit you your money is not wanted, but we have yet to see a person give it
a fair trial without being cured or greatly benefited.
Such diseases ls Indigestion, Rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. Catarrh Female Complaints, Torpid Liver, Stomach and
bowel Troubles, Scrofula and all Blood Diseases are being cured every
day by this Remedy, and we want every person in need of such a.
treatment to give it a trial. '
WIFE REMOVES HIS APPENDIX.
Heroic Operation Performed By, Mrs.
Logan On Husband.
Bethany, Ills., July 1 With her
husband dangerously ill from an at
tack of appendicitis, 800 miles from
medical aid, the wife of Dr. W. H. Lo
gan, of this city, acting under the in
structions of the feeble patient, before
he succumbed to the anaesthetic, cut
away his vermiform appendix, per
forming the dangerous operation so
successfully that he soon rallied and
she was able to have him conveyed to
a point wiiere surgical aid could be
had. Letters received from China today
announced that Dr. Logan has entirely
recovered from his attack, returned to
his station and resumed his work.
D:-. Logan and his wife have been
missionaries in China for a number of
years. They were forced to flee from
the country during the boxer troubles,
coming to Bethany, where the physi
cian practiced his profession until
peaee had been restored in the Celes
tial empire, when he returned to his
former station in C "na and again
took up the work of a missionary phy
sician. WHY TAKE ANY CHANCES .

cramps, dysentery, when-you should
know that for over half a century
Painkiller has cured millions of cases?

Dr. Mile s' Nervine Cured
Me.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine brings rest
and sweet sleep to the tired brain worn out
with the cares and anxieties of the sickroom.
Read the following: - f
"Lhave always been healthy with the ex
ception of -a touch of rheumatism since mr
j- age came on, up to the time of my husband's
iasi liinest some years ago. 1 assisted in
nursine my husband for nearly three months
when Tie departed this life and the mental
strain I' think caused my trouble. Asid&
from extreme nervousness my trouble com
menced rritlt sore throat and neuralgia. My
physician gave me purgative doses which
weakened me very much and my stomach
; for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain
and the dormant condition of my stomach
' soon told upon my general health. I had
little appetite and was soon forced to stay in
bed a greater part of the time. Within a"
week alter the time I began taking Dr.
Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was
up about the house. I continued their use
until completely cured. . My faith in Dr.
Miles' Remedies has been strengthened 'by
experience of other people, our daughter hav
ing used Restorative Nervine with SDlendid
j results in a case of paralysis and a friend to
wnom l sent a box ot the Anti-lJain Fills re
ports that she has been completely cured of '.
' neuralgia by their use. I know of a number
of others whom your medicine has helped in a
large decree. I wish you continued success."
