The man who puts on stilts does not in
crease his actual stature by the breadth of j
a hair. He feels taller while he's on the
tilts, and when he's off them he feels
shorter than he ever
felt. Stimulants are
the stilts of the stom
ach. They make a
man feel bett :r for the
time beine, but he
feels a great deal worse
for them afterward.
The need of the man
(whose stomach is
' weak " is not stimu
lation but strength.
Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery
- perfectly answers that
need. It cures the dis
eases .of the' digestive
.and nutritive system
which make the stom
ach weak." It en
ables the digestion and
assimilation of food, so
that the body receives
the nutrition on which
depends its strength.

Not long ago they were swollen so
badly that away in the dead hours of
the nignt while i wa8j nodding in my
chair I got up to see what time it was,
Host my perpendicular and my legs
gave way and I fell, in the fire with
the chair on top of me. My wife heard
the racket and jumped from the bed
and pulled me out. I did not get
burned, but bruised up my shoulder
where I struck the grate. And last
night while I was suffering in the abdo-
minal regions she got a hot water bag
and placed it where it could do most
the sleep , of the just until breakfast
time, when all of a sudden the bag
buret and the hot water scalded me
amazing before l could wake upX. I
halloed for help and broke up the break-
fast, for they all came running and
had to strip off my garments and
change tne sheets and. every thing, and
1 had liked to have skinned me as clean
u a hog, for the water was still u hot
as fire. And so between fire and hot
water 1 consider my self an injured per

did me good and increased the alacrity
of my movements.
- But I am still calm and serene again,
and enjoying the good reading sent me
by my good friends, Mr. !J. Wm. Jones
and T. K. Ozleeby. Both books are
mastrrly vindications of the south and
between these two men I feel like I am
poised between the pillars of Hercules.
Every truth is double plated and every
rivet clinched. Then .there is my good,
old friend Dr. Ward, of Winona, Miss.,
who stands in the breach and defends
us from all assaults. We have not had
since the war so much good southern
literature as we have now. There are
George G. Smith and Dr. Maguey and
Jim Calloway and Wallace Putnam
I Reed, who are full of memories of the
good old times jind the good old people.
How sweetly did Dr. Massey's sketch
of William C. Dawson carry me back
to my college days when his boys,
Oscar and Edgar, were my college
mate and the g& old men U8ed to
come to Athens to see them and fondle
over them and used to talk to us in our
Phi Kappa Society and gave us effec
tionate counsel. These biographical
sketches of our noble men are most
delightful reading, especially to those
nayself were the contempor-
es of many of them
But I must stop now and rest. It
will not do for an old man to strain his
mind. Every little while my wife says
'Now, get up and walk about some,"
and I dq it. She wants me to dance
the Elephantiosi8 or the Buzzard Lope,
and says 1 am getting better and better
every di.y. But some of these old
poems kteep running in my mind:
"Wljen he was In bis prime
Ere the pruning knife of time
Cut him down.
Not a better man was found
By the watchman on his round
Through the town.
But now bis nosa is thin
And Is pointing to bis chin
Like a staff.
And a crook is in bis back
And a melancholy crack
In his laugh."

News reaches here that George Ran
dall, this county's wonderful freak, is
dead. Just when his death occurred
your correspondent has been unable to
learn. The boy was one of the most
wonderful freaks of nature in
or perhaps in the world.
He carried I
on bis shoulders one of the largest and I
heaviest heads of any person known.
He lived near Ellenboro with his par
ents from childhood. He was six years
old when he died, and your corre
spondent is told he weighed only sixty
live pounds. His head measured forty
six inches in circumference and weigh
ed fifty pounds. His body, arms and
legs weighed only fifteen pounds. For
five years his head bad been growing
rapidly and it could not be seen at th
time of his death that his body had
grown a particle in that period. He I
was almost skin and! bones He at
nothing but bread and meat and oc
casionally drank a cup of coffee. While
he had been in perfect Health all ; his
life, with the exception of one illness,
three years ago, his parents and family
physician did not believe that he would
live long. At timer he could hold np
his headj but most of the time preferred
ying iai bed, only because bis head
was so heavy.
The boy had a fair education con-
udering his age. He read newspapers
all Ihe while and was more fond of
them than books. He could not write
nor read writing, and said he never had
any desire to do either. He was al-
ways quick to catch any gossip that
was afloat I
He was also very sensitive and re-
f used on several occasions to be photo
graphed. Several tim s his parents
have been approached by theatrical
men and offered a big price for him to
be put on exhibition.

their lot with this sect. AH the pleas
and arguments of friends were unavail
ing and Mr. Goodman sold his spk-ndid
farm and personal effects and with his
family emigrated to Idaho
The scales fell from his eye, how-
lever, and Mr. Goodman decided to re
turn to his native county and.
re-
embrace his old religion.
"Mormoniam is not what it is said to
be," said Mr. Goodman to a Sun re

porter this morning. "I have come
to ray native county to stay.'f he
continued. "No, I have not decided
on my future plans. I will, however.
secure quarters in Salisbury until I have
maae other arrangements.'
"WP1 you ask for reinstatement in
the church which you left when you
joined the Mormons?" he was asked
'I have'nt fully decided on that
yet," Mr. Goodman rejiljed.

A piano is now a part of the negul
complement of machinery used in the
American Tobacco (Ximpany's plant at
Jackson and Jacob streets in this city
and the "department of music" is
officially recognized in all the establish
ments Pf the Continental and Ameri
can Tobacco companies in Louisville.
Where! formerly a -rule of discreet
silence was enforced, the strains of
music, varying from "rag time" to
hymns, are beard and the hundreds of
employes, men nd women and chil
dren, sing as they work. As a result
trouble betweeu the workers is rare and
the companies find their employes do
their work with better grace and
really accomplish more than they did
before the rules enforcing silence were
abolished.
The piano at the Jacob street plant
is but a step further in the plan of
the two companies to mike life more
pleasant for those who labor in the
big factories and it is stated that if
the experiment 'proves a success, in
struments will . be placed in other
establishments operated by the con
cerns.
