Dr. Milei' Nervine is a specific for nervoui
disorder. It removes the cause and effects
a speedy and permanent cure.
"I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of
nine,of spasms. She commenced having them
at the age of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but she did not,
W e took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no Eood either. She was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As I had
already used Dr. Miles' Nervine and found
it a goodemedy for myself I commenced
giving it to my child. I gave her in all ten
bottles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we com
menced the treatment. She is no longer,
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. I enclose her pic
ture. My mother-in-law lost her reason and
was insane for three months from the effects
of LaGrippe. Six bottles of Dr. Miles' Ner
vine cured her. My sister has also taken it
for sick headache with good results. We all
thank you very much fur your good medi
cines and kind advice.- I don't think there
is any other medicine half so good. I send

Cue Foq, Feb. 9. -The Japanese (leet
attacked Port Arthur Monday. Two
Russian battleships and one Russian
crimerverdisabled by torpedoes.
The Columbia was lying in the road
stead, surrounded 1ij 14 Russian battle
ships and cruisers. At 11:80 o'clock
Monday night a severe Bhock was felt
on board the Columbia. The Russians
immediately commenced to operate
thwir searchlights and opened fire to
wards the sea. Tiie firing lasted only
a short time. At 1 o'clock more shocks
were felt and the Russians again com
ffienced firing.
The Japanese did not return the fire.
At 2 o'clock two Russian battleships
went in and were beached across the
entrance of the harbor. They were
goon followed by a Russian cruiser
which also was beached. None of the
vessels were damaged above the water
line. More shocks from torpedoes were
felt daring the early morning and then
all was quiet.
At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning three
Japanese cruisers passed Port Arthur
in sight of the Russian lleet. The
whole Russian lleet immediately weigh
ed anchor and went after them, but
returned in half an hour.
Ths disabled cruiser and the ground
ed battleship block the entrance to the
harbor, preventing the gun-boats from
going out and battleships and cruisers
from going in and gettibg coal. Be
sided this, Japan Jias the Russian
gunboats Vantig aud Korvtz caught at
Chemulpo. They were bound for Vladi
vostok lc.
Los don, Feb. 10 In a dispatch
from Che Foo, dated Feb 9, a corres
pondent of The Dally Express says: The
Japanese have dealt the Russians a
crushing blow at Port Arthur. An ad
vance squadron of the Japanese fleet
under Japanese Commander Vice Ad
miral Togo, and comprising 16 battle
ships and cruisers, with a numerous
torpedo flotilla, left the main licet off
Shan Tung Peninsula on Sunday im
mediately after news of the diplomatic
rupture became known. This informa
tion was converted to the Japanese ad
miral by a destroyer dispatched. from
Tsushima Saturday eueuing.
The Japanese scouting cruisers had
givn accurate information of the pre
carious situation of the Russian fljet
outside of Port Arthur. The squadron
steamed slowly in battle formation
Sunday midday toward its goal, and
Crae within sight of Port Arthur under
cover of darkness. It cruised si wly
outside without showing lights. The
Russians were lying in the roadstead
apparently feeling Becure from an at
tack. Nearly all trie Japanese torpedo bouts
were dUpatchvd . on their dangerous
and daring task. They rushed, full
steam, on the enertiy, who were com
pletely surprised. A great rattle of
small arms greeted the invaders, who,
however, escaped unhurt and the Ret
visan, the Czarevitch and the Taljada,
were almost immediately torpedoed.
The Japanese dashed along the entire
line of the Russians, exposed by now
to a terrible fire from the machine
guns and small arms from both the
ships and the shore. There was the
utmost consternation among the Rus
sians, which, probably accounts for the
Japtnese torpedo boats escaping un
hurt and joining the "admiral outside.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 10. The fol
lowing bulletin has been issued:
"By order of the Vicey, I beg to
report that this day, about 11 o'clock
in the morning, a Japanese squadron,
consisting of about 13 battleships and
cruisers, approached Port Arthur and
opened fire. The enemy was received
with a cannonade from the shore bat
teries and the guns of our equadron,
which also participited in the engage
ment. At about midday the Japanese
squadron ceased its fife and ltft, pro
ceeding south.
"Our losses ijj the fleet were two of
ficers woundid; nine m?n killed and 41
men wounded. On the shore batteries
one man was killed and three were
wounded. The battleship Poltava and
the cruiser Novik each bad a bole

line. The forts were slightly damaged.

Special Cor. of Thb Tim ks.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. Gov
ernor Taft, returned from the Philip
pines to be Secretary of War, is a gii
seud to Washington correspondents.
It isn't every public man who is to ac
cessible. It is not always easy to get a
frank expression of opinion from Secre
tary HitchoocK, Attorney General Knox
or fostmaster General Payne; from
Senators Lodge, Bsveridge or Bailey.
Some of them are always in too much
hurry and some have a stand-t ff man
ner intimidating to an fciterviewer.
Tlrfcfiew secretary is easily accessible,
frank ly responsive, and his head has
not undergone any material enlarge
ment ou account of accumulating
honors.
I found him at his desk yesterday
and bad good talk with him. "They
say you are in favor of independence
for the Filipinos," said your corres
pondent. "Protection, protection; they are not
fit for independence at present," he re
plied. He was reminded that anti-imperialists
insist that self-government is a nat
ural right, like personal freedom, and
that any people, for instance the Kaf
firs and Hottentots of South Africa,
know their own ways' and can govern
themselves better than even the wisest
nation can govern them.
"Yes, I know," he said, "the anti
imperialists are all at sea about that.
The English and Germans can teach
the savages that civilization is both
profitable and agreeable"
"Then you hold, of course, that Dan
iel vVebster was wrong in opposing the
Mexican war, a war of conquest. He
was nicknamed 'the Mexican' feir it by
those who know that California was a
valuable asset, aud insisted that we had
a right to steal it."
"Yes, Webster was mistaken in
some things that he said," rejoined
the Secretary. Your persevering cor
respondent produced some memoranda.
"Froude's declaration that "a f ee
country annot govern subject prov
inces." Lincoln's that "no man was
ever good enough to govern another
man without that man's consent;" and
sundry morsels from the Declaration of
Independence. The Secretary said, "I
cannot enter upon a polemical discue
sion concerning the proper basis of gov
ernment and the principles which should
control a nation; even if you and I
couldettle it," ho continued with a
laugh, "I have hardly time to go into it
Your correspondent explained that
his reason for bringing up such ques
tious was because Governor Taft had
opposed the acquisition of the Philip
pines in the beginning.
"But now," said the Secretary, "we
face the status quo, the prevailing con
ditions, and it is only with them that I
cin deal. I have disengaged mysel
from many merchants, promoters, and
editors in the Philippines, who believed
that affairs there should be admin
istered primarily for the profit of Amer
icans, and now I come home and find
myself confronted with the anti-im
perialists. Is this fair?"
Your correspondent inquired how fur
the hostility of these promoters went
in opposition to his humane shibbo
leth, ;"The Philippines for the Fili
pinos." "They delay the triumph of pros
perity aud justice in the Philippines,"
hi) answeied. "They want to get rich
immediately. Some of them insist
that, as the arcbiielago belongs to the
Americans, the feelings, ambitions, and
wishes of the natives Bhould not be re
garded or respected. They despise
them, aud frequently insult and abuse
them. Unless their rancor cap be al
layed, and the hostiftty of commercial
adventures in the United States dimin
ished, the solution of the problem will
be long delayed. The doctrine which"
we have announced and striven to real
ize was McKinley's; it involves a high
moral principle which this nation is
bound to entree in spite of all obstacles.
Every law and every measure must be
construed in the light of it. If it
help the Filipinos, it must be adopted
and executed; if it tends to the injury
of the Filipinos, it must be discarded
and defeated, whomsoever else jt pro
fits. You have called this a miiuane
policy. It is much more than that. It
is a commercially wise policy. We will
never get much profit out of those rich
dependencies unless we make ourselves
the friends of their people and abide by
the principles of justice. Avarice with
out justice will be our ruin.lnd if we
are not just, our administration in those
islands will be a failure. But I do not
expect this. I expect that, under Gov
erner Luke Wright all schemes for loot
will be abindoned and justice will be so
firmly established and dispensed that
the people will unanimously request
our continued protection and prefer
ur government to their own.
"You ask about sanitary conjhions;
I an living tetfimonial to the health
fulness of the Philippines." With a
comprehensive gesture e displayed
his three hundred pounds of avoirdu
pois. "Manila is the healthiest city in
all the tropics. An American who re
spects laws of hygiene does Dotj)ersi8t
in hartl labor too many hours in a day,
lets hot liquors alone, exercises enogfi
to lyep his liver active, and generally
takes care of himself, may live there
as comfortably as here. The death
rate ot Manila has been reduced one
quarter under American occupation.
It has not yet a sewerage system, but
there are laws for the disposal of gar
bage which are rigidly enforced, in
sanitary quarters are burned or other
wise destroyed, the medical methods of
civilized nations are 1cing introduced,
and we are justified in high expecta
tions of future improvement. Betjveen
forty and fifty per cent, of all the deaths
in the Philippine Islands are of babes
under one year old. This resujts from
profound ignorance of obstetrical ex
ledien!B. The poor people do not know
how to manage, and the way infants
'die and mothers suffer is very pathetic
But I looft confidently for constant and
rapid betterment.
"No, the Americans in the Philip,
pines are net suffering what can prop
erly be called hard times. But they
are active and ambitious and they want
to get rich quick and come home. I
suppose they make less money than
they did when the army there was five
times as large as it is now. Simo of
them are mere adventurers and camp
followers; some of the worst allow them
selves to be supported from the meagre
earnings of the native women. ,Of
course such people will always be mal
contents and marplots. There is a
great chance for enterprising men to
make money there without looting the
islands or despoiling the natives in any
way. What is sorely needed there
needed more than any other thing is
an influx of American capital to de
velop the vast resources of the, archi
pelago by legitimate means, and of the
right Bort of American men, honest,
courteous, and just, to show by the
example of their Ikes and behavior
how men should live to enjoy free gov
ernmeut."
f'niinllea Asking for Aid.
Raleigh, Feb. 9, 11)04. Fifty-eight
counties have asked for aid from the
State out of the $100,000 for keeping
their public schools open four months
in the year. The largest sum allowed
any one county is a little over $1,000,
The board of education found that if a
calculation were made it proved that
those counties which asked for the larg
est amount were getting their public
schools actually at lees cost per capita
than those which made no request at
all foV aid. Take the case f a pied
niont county, one which has -only
$15,000 of school fund aud yet has
10,000 children. 'Even with llie aid
which it gets from the State it receives
only $2 a year per capita for its chil
dren, while in some counties which
have made no request for help the per
capita cost of four months' schools is
half a dollar to a dollar more than this
figure. By taking the total school
fund and adding to It what counties
receive from this hundred thousand
dollars, and then dividing the total
school fund and adding to it what
dren it is discovered that they get four
months school at less cost per capita
than those counties which make no call
and also at less than the average per
capita in the State.

We- heartily command to all our
readWs the plan set forth in the follow
ing call bjf Secretary Parker, of the
State Farmers' Alliance. All Over tb
State there are indications of renewed
interest in farmers' organizations, and,
the feeling is general that the Alliance
has the best plan of organization? aud
keeping itself on guard against repeat
ing any of the mistakes of the past,
offers the best opportunity for the co
operation and mutual benefit of our
farmers. This number of The Progres
sive Farmer goes to hundreds of farmers
who have not kept informed as to the
record of the Order during'recent years.
We wish that all ot them would inves
tigate its work and see for themselves
that it is devoted solely to the upbuild
ing of the agricultural interests of the
Statet. If it were otherwise, we should
not endorse it.
North-Carolina farming will never go
forward as it should until there is some
kind of farmers' club" at every school
house. Go to see your neighbors and
gef, a dozen men and women to meet
February 27th. You cannot do a bet
ter thing for yourselves, your neighbor
hood, or the Commonwealth'. Here is
Secretary Parker's call:
To the Farmers of North Carolina:
Since writing the article which ap
pears elsewhere iu The Progressive
Farmer, I have received the gratifying
intelligence that Rock Fish Sub
Alliance in Duplin County has reorgan
ized with nineteen substantial, active
memliers. Why should not every old
Sub Alliance in North Carolina follow
the example of Rock Fish T
Now a suggestion for a grand rally of
the Alliance. Let every Sub Alliance
in the State meet at their respective
meeting places on Saturday, February
27. Let the members of the defunct
Subs, or those that have ceased to work,
meet on the same day and reorganize.
Let every man whoever belonged to
the Alliance, and who is now eligible
to membership, see his neighbors and
have all meet on Saturday, February
27, for the express purpose of reorgan
izing the Alliance.
I have had several letters from va
rious counties in the State in regard to
reorganizing the Alliance, and so make
this announcement. Let every man,
in every county in the State, who feels
an interest in the upbuilding of our
agricultural interests, talk reorganiza
tion until February 27, and then act.
There is plenty of time between now
aud then to let every farmer know
about the proposed meeting. Let any
one who wants further information on
the subject, write me at once.
Remember this proposition applies to
every county in the State. Let no man
hold back, but all act as a unit.
Heard and Keen In Coneord.
H.E.C.II in Charlotte Observer.
I spent more that two days in Con
cord not long since, and I saw and
heard a great deal. You know when
in comparison with Charlotte, Concord
is a pretty life cUimant for honors of
most any kind and not without
some justness. To illustrate: An
electrical engineer, who had surveyed
Concord, told me that it was a bigger
town than Charlotte. I am giving ex
clusive information now, however, for
if The Times and The Tribune had
come in possession of this as I did they
would have gotten out special editions.
As it is they will have to announce it
second hand or else keep still.
The stranger walking down the
streets of Concord is impressed with
the size and quality of a number of
business houses. There are two de
partment stores in that town that for
size, stock and general appearance will
will do credit to a town ot 50,000 in
habitants. A - pretty good sign of a
good place for trade is in the number
of wholesale establishments, of which
there are many" woAing for . town and
near by country trade.
Proud of the number of elegant
homes and cultured people, her
churches, schools and well kept streets,
as she is, Concord has greater things
still, in a commercial sense, namely:
the large number of cotton, mills, that
make money and employ the hundreds
of wage earners, the number and pay
of whom are the source of all business
greatness thereabout. The factory dis
trict is large indeed, many times larger
ffian the business and home district.
All of which has been well provided for
in schools and churches.
The Death Penally.
A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It is wise to have Bnck
len's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best salve on earth and will prevent fa
tality, when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25 cents, at all
druggists.
GAINS OP 1903 If CHURCH WEITI-BEBSHIP.
tyr. Carroll has just furnished the
New York Christian Advocate the statis
tics of the churches of the United States
for 1903. The figure, collected repre
sent several interesting facta. The
statistics show the net gains of all he
denominations in the United States in
1903 to be 2,340 ninbters, 2,647
churches and 482,459 communicants
This is 72,955 less gain of communicants
than for 1902. Dr. Carroll, in comment
ing on the figures, himself says: "It is a
curious thing that while the net gains
of communicants are considerably less
than in 1902, those of ministers and
churches are much greater." The net
gain of ministers was about fifty per
cent over the previous year, and this
year's net gain of churches was over
one hundred per qeut over the year be
fore. Iu apportioning the -gain in
communicants to the various denomi
nations, he says: "The largest gain in
communicants is attribuled naturally to
the Roman Catholic Church 106,010.
The next largest, curiously enough, is
reported by a colored body, the African
llethodist Episcopal Church 56,646;
the Southern Baptists stand third, with
40,000; the Disciples of Christ fourth,
with 28,421 and the Methodist Episco
pal Church fifth, with 20,967, the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
being credited with 20,119. The gains
of all Methodist bodies were 112,946,
or about twenty-three per cent of the
grand total. The Baptists of, 11 names
increased 61,140, the Lutherans (all
bodies) 36,507, and the Presbyterians
(all branches) 26,506. The Protestant
Episcopal Church shows an advance of
15,209."
Puts an End to It All.
A grievous wail oftimos comes as a re
sult of unbearable pain from over taxed

am compelled to reduce my
stock by the first of the year,
as my building is to be over
hauled, and a glass front to be
erected. It will pay you to
take advantage of the many
Bargains that are offered daily
at my place. I have two new
Organs and one new Ivers &
Pond Piano that I will sell at
a sacrifice between now and
January ist.
