"It is with the ereatest pleasure that I rec
ommend Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart
Cure. I only wish that I could tell every
sufferer bow much rood they have done me.
Last winter I had a severe attack of La
Grippe, which left my heart in a very bad
condition. I could not lie down for the
smothering spells that would almost over
come me and the feeling of oppression
around my heart I bad not been so that I
could lie on my left side for a long time. I
fot your Heart Cure and took three bottles,
have no trouble now with my heart and
can lie on my left side as well as my right.
Formerly I had suffered for years with nerv
ous prostration. 1 had tried so many rem
edies that I bad cot clear out of heart of get
ting anything that would help me. The
nerves of my heart were so affected that
sometimes it would lose beats so it would
seem to stop altogether. It was on the ad
vice of a lady friend that I tried your Restor
ative Nervine. I felt better after the first
few doses and two bottles of Nervine and
one of Heart Cure made me feel like a new
person. My heart is all right and my nerv
ousness Is all gone. I never fail to ar.com
mend it to others afflicted as I was."

Oiico upon a tiuio Hip lion decided

'Tiu In a bis hurry," said the lion as
he climbed into the briber's chair.

koyg bad half recovered from their
care he had fallen fast asleep and was
snoring.
. "What did he gay he wanted a hair
cut or a shampoo?" asked tbe cb!ef
barber of bis assistant
"lie didn't say," answered Jimmy.
"Well, I guess you bad better wake
bim up and ask blui."
"Well, I guess I'll resign my Job," re
plied Jimmy. "If I wake him up he'll
eat me up."
"Then I'll shave ht," said tbe chief.
"Maybe that isn't what "be wants,
and he'll eat you up,v said Jimmy.
"Then suppose I cut his hair?"
"He may not want his hair cut, and
he'll eat you up for that."
"Then I guess I'll cut his hair and
shave him both."
"He'll eat us both up then."
The chief scratched his head and the
assistant scratched- his head, but pres
ently Jimmy says:
"Boss, I would like to get off today to
go and Bee a sick friend."
"All right," answered the chief, as
the happy idea flitted through his
brain. "And I'll take a day off too." -
So they took each other by the paw
and tiptoed as easily as they could
across tbe plain until they got out of
earshot of the Hon, and then they ran.
And unless he went to another barber

La t It era n Church's Hi-Centennial.
Leslie's Weekly.
The celebration of a bi-centennial by
a church has been an event that has
only been observed by a few congrega
lions in America since its discovery,
The Flackner Swamp Lutheran congre
gation at New Hanover, Pa., cele
brated November 28 and 29 last the two
hundredth anniversary of its exist
ence aa a congregation, being the old
est Lutheran congregation in the west
ern world, worshipping in the oldest
Lutheran church in America. Luther
anism in America dates back to June
24, 1604, when the first Lutheran ser
vices were conducted in German1 town,
Pa., by Henrich Bernhard Koster.
Other Lutherans soon crossed the At
lantic, and in 1700 the Rev. Daniel
Flackner brought a little band of Ger
mans from L&ngon-Reinsdorf, Saxony,
who settled in the Flackner Swamp re
gion, tbe region being named after
the leader of thejittle army of Ger
mans. The congregation was organ
izpd in 1703, and it formed tbe nucleus
of the church in North America, which
now has 9,000,000 members.
Tbe foolish Cow.
Atlanta, Constitution-
Farmer Jenkins had handsome
cow, of which he was very proud. She
gave more milk than anyther two
cows in the country, and the old farmer
declared he would not take a bucketful
of monev for her.
Well, they had a big cow snow, a
country fair, and Farmer Jenkins de
cided to take his cow there and win
tbe prize. Now, what do you suppose
that cow did 7 Why, she simply made
up her mind not to take the prize for
fear she would be bought at once by
somebody and taken away from her
good home at Farmer Jenkins.
Bo, when all the cows were brought
out at the fair and Farmer Jenkins
wanted to show what a wonderful milk
producer he owned, his cow would not
yield a single drop of milk, to the
farmer's great disgust.
Then, in anger, be called a butcher
and sold the cow to him, and the
butcher straightway killed her 'and
sent her meat to market.

A Fff IEH TALKS ON C
TON.
Tbe Solid Views ot colonel Lero
Springs.
Charlotte Observer.
Col. LeRoy Springs, of Lancaster, S.
C, cotton planter, cotton manufacturer,
merchant, railroad president and
banker, strolled into the Manufacturers'
Club. He no sooner hit the top land
ing than Mr. John M. Miller, cashier
of the First National Bank, of Rich
mond, Va., who w at the club, ad
dressed him with the query: "Colonel
how it cotton?"
"It's all right," answered the col
onel;
"A little high perhaps?" suggested
Mr. Miller.
"Not at all," said the colonel, "At
present prices cotton would be a profit
able crop. The fair cost of raising cot
ton on an average is nine cents, and
the difference between ninj cenU and!
present prices in a short crop like this
is no more than a fair profit."
"If nine cents is the cost, how did
people live when cotton was five and
six cents a pound?" inquired a club
man who was attracted by the colonel's
approach. .
"Those who depend on a cotton crop
alone when cotton was six cents didn't
live," answered Colonel Spring.
"When cotton was six cents the cotton
farmers, white and black, bad no
money, didn't have a decent change of
clothes and everything was mortgaged.
A price of cotton based on labor under
pauper conditions is no honest price at
all. The present betterment in price is
because people have quit raising cotton
under those conditions to do something
else. When cotton was six cents it
meant that the colored cotton farmer
could not give his or daughter a change
of one garment of underclothing once a
year. I wouldn't want to live in
country where tbe women of a farmer's
family cannot have more than one
chemise a year.
"If a cotton plantation be operated
on business principles, and the planter
pay fair wages, he can't get out at less
than nine cents for cotton and have fair
returns on his investment. Nine cents
for cost of production foe a farm of cot
ton, including interest on capital, is
about the same as seventy cents for a
bushel of wheat or 40 cents for corn,
and everybody knows that wheat at a
price below seventy cents, Or corn be
low 40 cents, is a losing crop. Since
the price of cotton fell below ten cents
a majority of planters have broke all to
pieces, both in the eastern and western
cotton states, properties have been sold
and the families of individual cotton
farmers have lived like paupers, not
having in many cases a change of un
derclothing once a year."
The colonel bad advanced to tbe
middle of the lobby of he club and
quite a crowd had gathered around
him.
"How can we hold the practical mo
nopoly of cotton production at prices
above ten cents?" inquired a member.
"Weill" said Colonel Springs,
don't know that it would be desirable
to undertake to control the production
at a price less than nine or ten rents
It the foreigner wants to make good
cotton at less, then let's let him do it
and we will buy it and manufacture it
and get more money for manufacturer
and employer than we could get out of
cheap cotton. England has been play
ing that game with us and I think we
have now got to the point of making
England pay us a fair price or let her
make the cotton in Africa, Egypt or In
dia and we will buy it cheap and make
the pront on turning it into cloth."
- "However, we are not up against
that sort of question now. There
seems to be a lot of smoke, but I've
seen mighty little fire, as yet, on this
production of cotton in Africa and
other countrMfe whose cotton producing
capacities are not yet well or even ap
proximately well known. For my own
part I think we have the soil, the cli
mate and the people right here in the
South. Cotton producing conditions
mean a climate which is " mildly tem
perate, a sharp frost for a reasonable
period of the year,- labor which under
stands the business and a people who
have the mechanical ability to devise
and operate machinery for ginning and
other preparation of cotton for the mar
ket. We've got all these conditions.
Many countries have one or two of
them, but no other country has all of
them. I have no apprehension about
losing the monopoly of production at
anything like ten cents. We didn't
lose it during the civil war at 80 cents
and we didn't lose it immediately after
the same war at 25 cents."
"Have you bought cotton for your
factories, colonel ?" inquired a number.
"Certainly," answered the colonel.
"Why, certainly f" was asked.
Well 1" reflected the colonel.
"The operation of a mill rests as
much in baying tbe cotton right as in
keeping the wheels turning. I've laid
in a stock because I thought that as a
rule the mill which buys its year'B sup
ply in the threoor four months when
the farnmr is puttiflg the crop on the
. ii : ..v. :
mantel wiu cuius uui nu iigui, m mo
long run. There's no fixed rule, how-
ever. It takes judgment to buy cotton
nd the man charged with buying for
a taj must have the judgment."
How are tue factories going to come
out with this high priced cotton !" asked
some one in the crowd.
"No reason why they shouldn't come
out all right," said Colonel Springs.
"Let them raise the price of goods
proportionate to the increased price of
cotton."
"Will the people pay the increase?"
was asked.
"Pay the farmer a living price for his
cotton and then he will be able to pay a
fair price for cotton goods, and he will
will be willing also."
"How do you know what the farm
ers tij be willing to do?" asked a young
man.
"Because I am a farmer," promptly
answered the colonel, and then the
crowd laughed.
The colonel looked disgusted that
anybody should be moved to smile be
cause the a biggest cotton planter in
South Carolina calls himself a farmer.
"Cotton goods are bound to go higher
in price all the same," said the colonel
as he went off to write a letter.

leftNllras. The Charlotte Observer learns that
many Winston people are concerned
about the cause of Rev. Dr. Cald

was due to carelessness on the pirt of
physicians or attendants at the hospital
He was operated on and three days
later was doing finely was strong
enough to write a letter. Saturday
night he asked for a cup of coffee,
which was given him, and immediately
thereafter began vomiting, which con
tinned until his death. It is said that
heart was affected by the ether used in
the operation and heart failure natural

SAM JONES' LETTISH.
Atlanta Journal.
All true men and women regret the
mistakes and sins of tbe past. All
decent people are grateful to God and
man for the ten thousand favors md
blessings which have been" showered
along their pilgrimage. As I look over
the year 1903, 1 am sure I have a thou
sand things to be thankful for, and
eyeu-a thousand things to regret where
I have one thing to complain of and
kick about. I thank God that in spite
of railroad wrecks and disasters, I have
ridden safely the thousands of miles
across and re-across the country, and
that I have never received anything
but kindness at the hands of railroaj
nnen. I sometimes regard them as the
cleverest set of fellows iu the world. I
love to stand under the "cow shed" in
Atlanta, and shake bands with en
gineers, conductors, firemen, brake-
men, as they come in and go out.
They give me a warm grip of he hand,
and look at me as much as to say, "If
I can help you along at any time on.
your trips, it will be a great pleasure to
me to do so." Now and then one of
my pergonal friends who is' an engineer
or conductor gets killed in one of these
fearful wrecks; how my heart bleeds for
him, and his family. Not only do I
like and appreciate the men on engines
and cars, but the hard worked superin
tendents and managers are worthy of
all praise and deserve but little censure
at the hands of the public.
I have learned to love these men for
their work's sake and to honor them
for their fidelity to the trusts commit
ted to them. There are no harder
worked men than the general managers,
presidents and superintendents of these
systems. Many of them I know per
sonally and know how hard they work
The hundreds of thousands of miles I
have traveled, and yet without a bruise
or a scratch, and in the thirty years of
travel, I do not believe I have missed
important connections more than thirty
times, I have also witnessed marvelous
evolutions in railroads, and this evolu
tion is traceable to the brains of great
railroad men. I am not only glad that
I have traveled safely, but I am glad of
the thousands of friends I have met,
and the kind words and deeds they
have extended to me.
I feel profoundly grateful to my
creditors for their leniency and patience
(I have not yet sold my cotton. By the
way, gentlemen, let the bulls and bears
fight and scratch, and let cotton fluclu
ate a hundred points a day, but if you
don't want to sell, don't sell, she is
coming to 15 ceuts, in my candid juilg
ment, before the ides of April.)
I am profoundly grateful to God that
the lives of those I love most have been
spared through the old year, and that
His mercies are still continued toward
us. I trust Him for bis mercies in the
future. As I run over these things in
my own life, so with others, for we are
all akin to each other. When one man
tells his better, deeper experience, he
tells the experiences of millions of men
We all know there is a God, -and that
He is good to us.' We know that wife
and mother are our best friends on
earth. We know in common each
other's hopes and fears, mistakes and
sins, joys and sorrows are much alike.
With the experience of fifty-six years
behind me, I truBt God confidently for
the years that may remain mine here,
and for the dayless, yearless eternity
beyond. All hail the New Year's day
of the new year! The brightest and the
best the fullest of hope, and on our
part should be fullest of gratitude.
Really, I like a live man, a live city,
a live world. The cemetery is tbe last
place I want to go to, and they will have
to carry me these. I would like the
church better if bad more life and less
dignity; more aggression and less con
servatism; more religion and less
ecclesiasticism. But all in all, the
church is the best thing in the world,
and I have more respect for any poor
fellow on the inside, weak as he may
be, than I have for the so called strong
fellow on the outside criticising the
lives of those within the church.

GOOD ROADS AND P II ICES.
Btatesvllle Landruar
They have some macadam roads in
Durham county and the Durham Her
ald observes that while "good roads are
a good thing for the farmers it is
noticed they do not bring down the
price of wood."
We print this statement for the bene
fit of some Iredell farmers, as a few of
them have been disposed to oppose ma
cadam roads on the ground that they
would cheapen the price of wood and
of farm produce generally ; "that by
reason of good roads so many more
people could and would haul wood and
other stuff "to town, and from greater
distances than now, that the market
would be flooded and the price of wood
and farm products would be depressed
accordingly. Of course this argument
will not hold. Tbe conditions in Ire
dell this winter have disproved it. We
have no macadam roads, but the roads
have been as good all winter as they
ever were in midsummer. In fact if
the roads were always' this good we
would not need macadam roads. But
these conditions haven't cut down the
price of wood or anything the farmer
has to Bell. Wood has been abundant
on the market, but it has sold strictly
for $2 per cord on contract, even in
midsummer, and by the load on the
street the price will reach at times $3 or
H per cord. This is not complained of,
because the supply of wood is con
stantly decreasing and it is natural that
the price should continue to advance.
The prioe is regulated by supply and
demand, just as the prico of nearly
everything else is so regulated. Every
thing the farmer has to sell is bringing
higher prices than for the past 25
years, and the farmer is having his
innings, because the winter has been
such that he can haul big loads to town
with ease and comfort, and get about
as much for one load of stuff as he
formerly got for two.
We have no idea the price of wood
will ever be less, but we think it will be
higher from year to year. Future
conditions may depress the price of
farm products, just as present condi
tions have increased them, but the
condition of the roads will not regulate
the price.

the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition o( the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
