ancer" Stated Clinic
loctors After Diagnosis
REMARKABLE RECOVERY OF ELDERLY WOMAN FROM
SUPPOSED FATAL MALADY.
The following remarkable statement
by Patrolman George A-. Lebnhoff, Sixty-first
precinct, New York, is made
in connection with the much-discussed
medicines now being introduced by L.
T. Cooper in New York.
Patrolman Lehnhoff, when seen at
headquarters, said: "My mother, living
at 956 Union Avenue, Bronx, X. Y.,
who is seventy-one years of age, has
had catarrh of the stomach for ten
years. The gas in her stomach press
ed on her heart to such an extent that
physicians told her she had heart trou
ble. "Her condition became so bad that
she was taken to the polytechnical
clinic on Thirty-fourth street and was
examined by a board of physicians,
who diagnosed her case as cancer of
the stomach.
"She heard of the Cooper medicine
and asked me to get it for her. I was
skeptical, however, and would not do
so at first, but my mother insisted and
I finally got the treatment for her, al
though 1 did nor believe anything
could help her.
"She has taken the treatment and
does not seem like the same woman.
She no longer has any pain in her
stomach, can eat anything, attends to
her household duties and goes down
town whenever she feels like it, with
no fear of being sent home in an am
bulance. "The entire credit for this wonder
ful improvement in her is due to this
medicine. It is a marvel to me. as
I was sure her case was hopeless."
In speaking of Patrolman Lehnoffs
statement. Cooper said: "It's quite
possible that Mrs. Ijohnoff had symp
toms of cancer, and this undoubtedly
caused an incorrect diagnosis, for I
feel very confident that neither my
medicine nor any medicine on earth
would prove effective in a genuine
case of cancer of the stomach.
"I often have people tell me that
they have been suffering with various
organic diseases and that my medicine
has restored them to health. I do not
argue the point with them, but Coop
er's New Discovery only regulates the
digestive organs and could have had
no .effect, on such diseases. I there
fore know that they have mistaken a
bad case of stomach trouble and srener-
al run-down condition for the diseases
they descrme.
"A run-down, over-worked stomach
will put the nervous system on edge in
short, order, and nervous depression
follows. . An individual in this rnnrli-
tion is very apt' to imagine himself
afflicted with ninny srrave. nnd com
plicated diseases when such is not the
case. 1
CooDer's New Discovery, the medi-
cine which caused this article in the
New York World, is now on sale at
leading drug stores throughout the
United States. Ask your druggist
for it.
Few Left-Handed Barbers.
"Of course left handed persons are
scarce anyway," said tne man who car-
ries his habits of observation even into
the barber's chair, "but they are
mighty scarce among barbers: in fact,
I have seen but two or three in my
experience.
"But you are sure to notice it when
you do find one. He does just as effi
cient work, but it is the way he does
it that attracts your notice.
"The barber as a rule stands at the
right of the customer while shaving
him. making little trips to the back and
to the left only when necessary. Na
turally, I suppose, the left handed bar
ber does just the opposite; he stands
most of the time at your. left.
"For that reason you won't find a
left handed barber in the middle cf a
line of barbers. His chair has to stand
at one end or the other so that he won't
bumb into the right handed one next
to him.
"Like most left handed persons his
right hand is more dexterous than the
! left hand of right handed persons us
ually is. He snaves you with either
hand, but prefers the left. He strops
a razor just as a right handed one does,
however, and that is about the only
point of similarity."

Maj. Moore, Gallant Con
federate Soldier Who
Was at Gen: Jackson's
Side at Manassas,
Crosses Oyer River,
The Washington Herald cantains in
Sunday's issue an account of the death
of. Major Samuel J. C. Moore, who is
said to have been a member of Gener
al Stonewall Jackson's staff. He was
said to have been the last member, but
the paper was misinformed as Major
James P. Smith, of Richmond, who was
a member of the General's staff, is
still living. Maj. Moore lived at Ber
ryhill, Va.
Confederate veteran readers of The
News will read the following with in
terest: "Mai. Samuel J. C. Moore said tn
have been the last surviving: member
of Gen. Stonewall Jackson's staff, for-!
mer judge of Clarke county court, and
a prominent attorney of the Lower
Valley, died this morning at Berryhill,
Va., aged eighty-two years, from an
attack of paralysis.
The death of Mai. Moore removes
one of the bravest Confederate officers
who ever drew i sword. He was on
of the first men to enlist upon the
breaking out of the civil war. After
seeing duty at Harper's Ferry, in con
nection with John Brown's raid, he
returned here and joined the "Clarke
Rifles." He was made second lieuten
ant, and was soon promoted to captain.
"At the first battle of Manassas,
Maj. Moore stood by the side of Gen:
eral Jackson, when he won the imper
ishable name of "Stonewall." Among
his comrades, Maj. Moore had the. rep
utation of bearing a charmed life. He
is said to have been in the thickest of
every fight, and only once was he
wounded.
"Following Gen. Jackson's death he
was on the staff of Gen. Jubal Early
as adjutant general. When Lee sur
rendered at Appomattox, Maj. Moore
turned his face to North Carolina,
where he sought to ioin Gen Johnson.
After the close of the war he returned
to this section and opened a law office.
"Maj. Moore was born in Jefferson
county, W. Va.. in 1826. He was son
of the late Thomas A. Moore. He was
married twice, his first wife being a!
iuiss oconey, or jerrerson county, and
his second wife being Miss Kownslar,
daughter of the late Dr. Randolph
Kownslar, of this place."
"For years he was the leading attor
ney of the local bar, and served one
term as judge of the county court. He
was senior warden in Grace Episcopal
church, and was the first.
of J. E. B. Stuart Camp, Confederate
v eterans.
He is .survived by two sons and

Finley Talks
of The South
In a notable speech, made at Char
lotte ville, Friday, on the occasion of
the presentation of The Washington
neram prizes to the Southern Rail
way conductors, Mr. Finley laid stress
upon the future of the South and the
part the employes of his system are
doing to popularize, the railway, and
thus, aid in its development and the
development of the country it trav
erses. Mr. Finley, a Southerner by inclin
ation, a believer in the future of the
vast empire which lies south of Wash
ington, since he has been the head of
the Southern Railway, has done work
second to no other in exploiting the
rich resources of the land of Dixie He
knows that every step forward the
South takes, a steD forward the South
ern Railway will take. Knowing the
great unaeveioped wealth of the coun
try which his railway traverses, he
is now preparing for the time when
that system will.be taxed to meet this
earning development. He is prosecut
ing the work of double-tracking the
system: he is lowering ernrips bal
lasting road beds, straightening lines,
until now the Southern Railway is
one of the great railway Dronertie's of
the country.
Mr. Finlev besan hi railroad rarwi-
as a telegraph operator and b ha?
worked himself up through every de
partment. His addresses dealing with
the railroad and industrial develop
ment of the South are doing much to
ward stimulating conditions and confi
dence in the future of the great coun
try which is destined to be the great
empire of America..

7 he Need of a
Country Club
Mr. D. A. Tompkins
Writes The Greatet
Charlotte Club, Urging
the Imporance of such
an Establishment.
Confident that the jCountry Club is
a feature of the life of Augusta and
Savannah that make them such pop
ular winter resorts, Mr. D. A. Tomp
kins urges the Greater Charlotte Club
to go to work to secure such an
institution for this city. The club
heartily endorses Mr. Tompkins' let
ter, which is as follows: ;
"The D. A. Tompkins Company."
"Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 19, 1908.
"Mr. W. S. Lee, ,
"President The Greater Charlotte
Club, Charlotte, N. C.
"My Dear Mr. Lee:
"The city of Charlotte has be
come in all respects, except perhaps
one or two, a well rounded and at
tractive city. We have good hotels
and for the immediate present per
haps enough. The new steel frame
office building; the new auditorium;
the new sanatorium; and many other
institutions, which are necessary to
a well rounded city, have been built
lately. There is however, one seri
ous deficiency. The deficiency is
one w-hich does not involve much
money, it is a country club with the
usual commitants for recreation' and
rest and social intercourse. The tour
ist, who is usually a gentleman who
has retired from business, cannot stay
n a city, no matter how good the
hotels, nor how good the surround
ing roads, unless there is some nlace
to go .where people are not actually
working ploughing, as . it were the
tourist (and bis family are lonesome.
"We have lately seen what Savan
nah accomplished by doing the few
things necessary to attract a class
of very desirable travel. I refer to
the automobile tournament.
"We need a country club some
where near Charlotte where golf and
the ordinary recreations of the tour
ist may be found. In truth, if we all"
knew it, we need it more for our
selves than for the tourist. Social
intercourse is a very important func
tion of any city's life and when the
social intercourse of the people of
a city can be planted first on the
mmaie grouna with the tourist, and
ine traveler tor health and recrea
tion, the value is immeasureable in
creased. "I would be very glad if the. Char
lotte Club would take hold of the
subject and cause to be built ' coun
try club having the usual facilities for
recreation and pleasure common to
country clubs. I think- that the coun
try club in Augusta, Ga., is what
makes that an attractive place in
winter for such men as Mr.-Taft, Mr.,
Rockefeller . and others. The hotels
there are good of course, but we
have good hotels also. It is a fact
that Augusta has .a pleasant place
for social intercourse, where her
people and the tourist may meet and
have something in common to do,
and out of this half way meeting
place comes permanent friendships
and home friends.
"Yours truly,
"D. A. TOMPKINS."
The following committee was ap
pointed to take up the matter of or
ganizing the Charlotte Golf Club:
D. A. Tompkins, chairman; Edgar
B. Moore, C. B. Bryant, J. W. Con
way, J. S. Cothran, Dr. B. C. Nalle

Castor Oil in Tablets.
A recent discovery that promises
to be of great value to the medical
profession is that of a process en
abling oil to be put into powdered
form. Practical use has already been
made of this discovery by a Ger
man scientists wno has succeeded
m reducing castor oil. that wonder.
ful, but generally disliked.
to. a tasteless powder.
Castor oil was first discovered in
wo Dy eter Canvane, when it was
immediately hailed by the medical
worm as one of the greatest discov
eries. It is the best anerient nr nnr.
gative, but its naseous taste has pre-
veuiea us universal adnntinn Tho
new discovery has made it possible
to eliminate the objectionable fea
tures of ordinary castor oil wit Vi rm t
interfering with its. restorative vir
tues. In fact, it- is claimed by phy
sicians that in the powdered state
it is even superior to the oil, as it
does not decompose in the stomach
and does not repeat or gripe. An
other great advantage of the powder
ed castor oil is that it can be mixed
with milk or other liquid or any
cereal food or pudding without be-
ucicwlcu, aua can tnus be readily
given to children when it cannot be
in the ordinary state.
Castor Oil in powdered form is
now sold in the' United States under
the name of "Castor Lax" and is en
dorsed by the highest medical authorities.
And especially the little ones, who know only the Real Santa the dear old
man who brings things down the chimney and fills their stocking
while they are . sleeping that sweet childhood sleep.
& MAKE SOME CHILD HAPPY
If not your own, think of some one or more who have no one to at
Santa. Remember them, get something, if only a small trifle Trv it
you 11 feel better over it, and then if you could, see that face broken
up see the joy that comes over that one little act of yours vou'll
be repaid a score of times. ' "
