Eacb of the chief
organs of the body is a
link in the chain of life.
A chain is. no stronger
than its Weakest link,
the body no stronger,
than its weakest ' organ.
If there is weakness of
heart or lungs, liver or.
kidneys, there is a weak';
link in the chain of life
which may snap at any
time. Often this so
called "weakness" is
caused by lack of nutri
tion, the result of disease
of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and
nutrition. liseases o f
the stomach and. its allied
organs are cured by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.
When the diseased stom
ach is cured, diseases of
other organs which seem
remote from the stomach
but which have their
origin in. a diseased condition of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, are cured also.
"I was in poor health when I commenced
taking Doctor Pierce's medicines," writes jtlr.
Elmer Lawler. of Volga, Jefferson Co., Ind. "I
had stomach, kidney, heart, and lung trouWes.
Was not able to do any work, I had a severe
cough and hemorrhage of the lungs, but a er
using your medicine a while I commenced to
gain in strength and flesh, and stopped cough
ing right away. Took about six bottles of
Golden Medical Discovery.' I feel like a differ
ent person. I gladly recommend your medicine
to all sufferers; for I know it cured me
The use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pelleta
will cure that foul breath.

addressed to the white Republicans by

that under Roosevelt it is so closely
identified with negroism that a white

tions J0 Roosevelt given in the address
are as follows:
"The Republican party,

McKiuley, was making every effort to
break down sectional prejudices and
build up a respectable white party in

whose views are repugnant to every free

" 'In either case the results are the
same, and are having the effect,-North
and South, of inciting negroes to crime,

them to aspire to an- equality that the

"Under JUCimley mere u was no

a modern rubber syphon, a patent

Gorman's Platform In a Piutliell.
Senator Gorman said in a speech last
week in brief: I
- . f
The Pemocratic party in its next na
tional platform should pledge itself
To stop the collection of more rev
enues than are required to conduct the
Government, -i
To revise the tariff in a spirit of con
servatism and with a purpose to make
our industries more prosoerous, and
not to wreck any of them. '
That the tariff plank in he platform
of 18S4 should be adopted, and thst
the revision of the tariff should be
the issue of the next election.'
". With such a platform he believes a
Democratic candidate can be elected
next year, the gold and silver' issue
having settled itself. . I

will insist upon sufficient security and

A Bumper Cotton Crop.
Charlotte Observer.
Local cotton men are already specu
lating on the probaHe size of this year's
cotton crop, although it is yet too
early to ma'ke anything like an accurate
estimate. Conditions over the cotton
belt are generally favorable, and among
some there is talk of a bumper crop.
Very .favorable reports axe received
from Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana,
and Texas. In none of these States has
the crop suffered as it has in North
and South Carolina.:
Iu a conversation with a Chronicle
reporter to-day, a Charlotte dealer said
the acreage would indicate a crop of
from 11,000,000 to 13,000,000 bales,
but this estimate may be reduced con
siderably when the staple begins to come
in. The Crop is from two to four weeks
late.
Everybody is. united in theopinion
that the plauters will this year reap a
handsome profit from the crop.

of 4uroip greens from just half an acre
of ground. Talk ab ut cotton, it is not
in the same class with tomatoes and

duced in this Bute, there waa great
diwatufaction among farm, laborers.
n some place there were threat pa
destroy them ,- because i' was auppoaed
that ihey would depnte .Urge, nam-
tfcer oi laborers of their moat profitable
work namely ,. in the banreet . field.
iSome years bforet that time . the old
falbioned 'reaper ' had displaced the
'cradle," just aa the cradle bad dia-
fplaced the sickle, and each bad red need
f the number of laborers.-' One does not
have .to bis ver oW,.to remembfr: tbe
gang of harvesters cutting wheat with
cradles, each cradler followed by a man
with a rake to gather the wheat to be
bound in sheaves. Then came the
boys gathering the sheaves in piles,
and ' after them men making the
shocks. Off in the distance was the
man running a horse rake to glean the
heads which were dropped, and flitting
about was the boy witha pail of ice water.
Tucked away in a convenient shock
was usually a little brown jug which
theIoreman carried around at stated
intervals. On the average wheat from
the gang in the harvest field would
number from a dozen to twenty men
and boys, and the scene was most an-
mated. The harvest field of the pres
ent day is entirely different. All noise
aof! jollity and animation have disap
peared. The little brown jug has gone
with the rest. The harvesters are now
reduced to three or four men, one to
drive the horses, one to Bit on the ma
chine and one or two to shock, and
the cost of harvesting has been re
duced in almost the same proportion as
the harvesters have been reduced.
The change in thrashing the grain
has been almost as marked. For a crop
of 2,000 bushels it would take 20 men
a week or ten days to do the work of
thrashing, and the . grain had to be
fanned. Now half as many men can
do the work in two days and a half.
It was far easier for the Maryland
farmer to bire the great number of
men required in former years than it is
to get the small numb r which he now
needs. But for the modern labor saving
machinery it is difficult to see how the
farmer could get his work done. The
agricultural laborer has almost disap
peared from most of our oountioa, and
where there are plenty of negroes, as in
the southern counties,) it is difficult to
induce them to hire themselves. The
white farm laborer has largely left the
country to seek employment in the
mills, the factories or in railroad work.
Whether he has bettered his condition
by the change is a question. He has
to work harder and more constantly
and live and rear his Children among
surrounding and conditions far less
wholesome. But be gets more regular
work, larger pay and, what is' perhaps
the strongest reason for the change, he
escapes from the monotony and lone
liness of country life. 1 1

els to every family In tbe entire world;
Sitvje then, 'six million: acres br new
land have been' put under' WlUvationi
and are now producing their first crop
What will be the result of this vastly
increased acreage f
At first thought, the answer occurs
to one that the price will decline, and
that the farmers will be less prosperous.
A closer, view of the situation shows
that while the price of wheat may not
range along such high levels as during
the past two: years there is small pro
bability of its declining to such a
figure as to wipe out the increase in the.
gross returns from the enlarged
acreage.
i Rumors of bad weather do not destroy
the widely prevalent notion . that the
next wheat crop will be the largest yet
known. This idea, we believe, will
prove to be not without foundation.
From the farms throughout the
country, and especially from the great
west, comes the urgent call for more
laborers. The words of scripture have
been literally fulfilled. "Te harvest
truly is plenteous but the laborers are
few." I The probl m of harvesting the
great crops, not only of wheat but of
10m as well, is one of the gravest ques
tions of the day. Its solution is simul
taneous with that of the city problem
the problem of congested streets and
overcrowded tenements. "Back to the
farms" will be the slogan of the comirjg
generation.! This refluent tide of pop
ulation will ushea in the happiest era
Of American history.
A Sad Story.
Charlotte Chronicle,
lhat is a sadly awiul story vtmch is
told in The Chronicle's dispatches this
evening from Asaton, Idaho. The
little daughter of the sheriff of the
county was waylaid while on her way
to Sunday fchool, assaulted and mur
dered by a well-to-do farmer, who was
then Dlaced in the jail of which the
father of the victim was the warder.
When a mob of indignant citizens gath
ered to mete out summary vengeance,
the sheriff, stifling the natural impuses
of a father before the call of duty to ful
fill the trust imposed upon him by the
the laws, resisted to the utmost the ef
forts of the mob to break into the jail,
buj; at last was forced to yield. Sheriff
Richards rises to i the mark of 'the
heroic, and his couise brings to mind,
by some sort of association of ideas,
the story of the judge who was forced
to try and condemn! his own son.
