Dr.Mifes Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
"It has been fire yean since I was cured of
heart trouble bjrour Heart Cure and Nerv
ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in
that organ today. For several years I had
been nffering with my heart. Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometime
accompanied with fluttering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after trying many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, I was induced to give your
remedies a trial. I was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
snowed signs of returning." RKV. Geo. W.
Kiracope, Chincoteague, va.
There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liveror
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, the
Sreat heart and blood tonic, without a day's
elay.

nk. sAin p. joasft in north
CAROLINA.
Atlanta Jouraal.
I am circulating in
the Old North
State this week, and I see much to in-
terest and enjoy, as I go from place tflBPirit that make8 U8 shut our e8 10
place. My first stop was rta( at Rock
ingham. This U a town of water
I power and cotton mills. In spite of
their disastrous fires within the past
few months, they are forging ahead
and will some day be immensely rich
if there be anything in vantage ground
hind natural resources. From Rocking
ham to Kinston was my next jump.
This thriving town of seven or eight
thousand, is located 25 east of Golds
boro, and is one of the many prosper
ous towns of North Carolina. Tobacco,
cotton, peanuts and truck gardening
all together is making this town grow
in leaps and bounds.
The same is true of Rocky Mount
and Wilson, except perhaps truck rais
ing is not so extensive in the two lat
ter. Rocky Mount was Visited a few
days ago with a 175,000 fire, but al
ready they are preparing to rebuild
more substantially than before. Sufely
the insurance companies have caught
it in the neck this year. But the dear
people will foot the bills.
I am greatly interested in the whisky
fight now going on in North Carolina.
The Watts law, so called, of North
Carolina, passed by the legislature
about two years ago has put a move on
the anti-saloon crowd and John Bar
leycorn is getting a black eye in this
state. The new law gives local option
to the towns on saloons, dispensaries,
distilleries, breweries, etc. The people
can choose between barrooms and dis
pensaries. They elect whether they will
have prohibition straight or whisky.
They choose also whether they will
have distilleries and breweries, and the
fut is flying from the whisky crowd all
over the State.
The supreme court of this Sta,J,e has
lately affirmed the ruling of a circuit
judge that no North Carolina town can
ship whisky in any form into a pro
hibition town. So now whatever of
jugs and packages of whisky the dry
towns got by express, freight, etc., must
kcome in by interstate traffic and that
fact makes snake bite medicine very
hard to get in the dry places.
Now this is the kind of law we have
been hankering after in Georgia for
hundred years, for the benefit of our
dry towns and every effort we make in
that direction we are met with the de
claration "that's unconstitutional."
It seems that it takes more than
bare technicality to whpp Governor Ay-
cock and the supreme court of North
Carolina over into a barrel or demijohn
They just won't march with the whisky
procession. I only wish that much
could be said of the. powers that be in
Georgia.
There is a whole train load of people
in Georgia that can't understand why a
town could not as lawfully quarantine
against whisky as it can against small
pox or yellow fever.
I for one, can never understand why
and how North Carolina towns can pre
vent her wet towns from slopping over
on her dry towns and its unconstitu
tional for us to do the same thing in
Georgia.
I do hope Judge John S. Candler or
some other member 01 our supreme
court would familiarize themselves with
the North Carolina decisions on this
subject and write a letter to the press
of Georgia and tell us where trouble is,
whether it's with the constitution or
with the law or the fault of the leanings
of the suseme court. Its at one of
these points and its due the people that
it be definitely pointed out and tie
remedy applied
The dry towns of Georgia have been
seeking relief and asking relief and
some of these days we will demand re
lief.
I have great respecf for the supreme
court of our State, but when their de
cisions on the whisky questions are
shrouded in mystery or smell of whis
ky, I gi uneasy for the better element
of our f, le.
I have 'no patience with a court that
will vitiate a good and moral law on a
bare technicality and give it to the
good people in the neck and to the bad
element in their pockets
I will furnish any member of our su
preme court with the North Cjrolina
decision on this subject if he will fur
nish the press the article. I find that
many towns in North Carolina have
voted prohibition and some have chosen
the dispensary. Kinston, Raleigh,
Greenville, etc., have chosen the dis-
penQ.-, and I find that most of the
people are well pleased with the dispen
sary. They boast that it will soon pay
all their taxes and relieve them of that
burden. The dispensary certainly does
grow in the affections of a people as it
fills their pockets, and the dispensary
towns will soon exhibit ail the greed
and manifest all the resentment of the
saloon element, and like George Wash
ineton. the dispensary soon becomes
embalmed in the hear of its country
men.
God save us from the mercenary
the staggering drunkard and skip our
ears te the wail of the widow and the
orphan, and eo tight ln dealing out
damnation through church deacons as
commissioners and church stewards as
dispensers, all for the dirty money we
claim to make out of the business.
"Woe unto him that putteth the bottle
to his neighbor's mouth," applies to
towns and states as much as it does to
the bull neck barkeeper who sells it
simply and only for the money there is
in it, and with no concern as to results
ami consequences. I am against the
sale of whisky in any form and by all
methods; in fact, it's not the method
of selling, it's the stuff that does the
work.
I note that one correspondent don't
like my views on the dispensary, and
another don't like what I said about
Bryan. I only wish whisky was as dead
a duck as Bryan in the political arena;
we would soon put whisky where 16 to
1 has put Bryan.
Now, will it be Parker, Gorman,
Hearst or Bryan? I say it will be
Parker, and I say but for the and- third
term sentiment Mr. Cleveland would be
nominated and elected, and that's more
than I could say for any other nominee
of the party. Yours truly,
8am P. Jones.
HAW BOLL WKfcVIL.
Shelby man Jml From Texas Relates
Some liitereilliiK Facta.
Charlotte News.
In a conversation with Mr. Hull, of
Shelby, who is traveling for a large to
bacco house in Winston, a reporter was
given some interesting facts in regard
to the boll weevil a,bout which so much
has been said and written and for the
destruction of which so much money
has been appropriated.
Mr. Hull has a specimen of the boll
weevil which he carries about with
him. The weevil is about one inch long
with a very large head and feet calcu
lated to keep a light grip on whatever
they catch hold of.
When the weevil attacks a cotton
boll, it is the last of the cotton boll un
less the latter is fully matured.
Mr. Hull says that the weevil has be
come so destructive that the farmers in
Texas dread it worse than the worst
dread pestilence known. In fact, as far
as they have been able they have
bought their seed from the more north
erly of the Southern States in order to
avoid getting infected cotton.
"There will be several good results
however from the presence of the boll
weevil," said Mr. Hull. "In the first
place, the Texas farmers will begin to
diversify industries. A few years ago
they didn't raise enough corn and grain
to begin to meet the home needs but
now the corn crops are rapidly increas
ing and I should say that the grain
crop has increased enormously as com
pared with that of four years ago.
"There is another important consid
eration which affects this section
greatly," continued the speaker, "and
that is the better chance we in the
Carolinas will have to dispose of our
cotton at better figures and easier.
Heretofore, Texas has had thiDgs al
most entirely her own way in cotton,
but if the boll weevil scourage continues
we up here will begin to play a more
important part in cotton raising'
Mr. Hull traveled over Texas recently
and has had excellent opportunity to
observe the conditions there growing
out of the boll weevil pest, a,

M.
: ItlARTlNDALE MUSINGS.
Recently we fetched a compass, and
went to Brief, (N. C, of course.) The
"Academy of Music" that night was
the scene of much hilarity public
school closing being the predisposing
cause. The Rock Hill Colored Band,
armed to the teeth with horns and
drums, tooted forth melodious strains
on the nocturnal air. Employing this
band gave offeose to sense, as they did
not believe in highly-scented music.
Others thought that it would look just
as aristocratic to have a nigger band as
to have a nigger in the woodpile or in
the cornfield, and that the aroma
arising from the band fellows, well
groomed and retouched with musk,
would compare favorably with the
esthetic smellificatkra of the cornfield
darky. Others still, while not tickled
to death at the idea of having a little
cheap aristocracy, believed neverthe
less that the soul of all music is white,
though it has a black exterior at times
Happily, the wiser counsels prevailed,
and a well-rounded good time rewarded
those attending.
At Jerome's school house, next stay
some JsJ the best public school exercises
we ever heard were rendered. The
Mint Hill String Band retailed excel
lent music for the occasion. One big
bass horn was included with the
stringed instruments, evidently as a
compromise with those who stubbornly
insist that music is not music unless it
be thoroughly saturated with innumer
able "too to." It was a source of-much
satisfaction to note that this band care
fully refrains from superfluous uppish
oms, and keeps time with its foot.
Give us the band that keeps time with
its foot I It resurrects more tender
memories of the past, and brings back
more fond recollections to the square
inch than anything else we know of.
Oue by one our cherished treasures
are being relegated to the bottomless
pit of oblivion ; (he lusty agent is even
now introducing a new-fangled draw

moss-covereu bucket that once arose
prrom the well in solomonic glory lofck
like 30 ceits with the eagle scratched
off ; but we trust that the wily agent
will never succeed in substituting
anything for the band that pats its
foot.
In Cabarrus, at Mill Grove, a well
packed house greeted an interesting
program Saturday night. 8'anding
rofim was above par. So close was
the press that .an elderly widower, of
Cabarrus, was brought into just a
position with a winsome maiden, of
Stanly. However, cards are not out
yet. A "one man orchestra," Mr.
Abernathy, of Flows, manipulating
guitar and mouth harp, discoursed
entertaining music for the occasion.

Not Too High.
It is told of Bishop Williams, of Con
necticut, who lived all his life a bach
elor, that he was talking one day with
a young man from the West about a
tax a Western state was trying to im
pose on bachelors, the tax to be in
creased a certain per cent for every ten
years of bachelorhood. "Why bishop,"
said the young man, "at your age you
would have to pay about one hundred
dollars a year." "Well," said the
bishop, quietly and in his oldtime ver
nacular, "it's wuth it."
What Is Life t
Iu the last analysis nobody knows,
bat we do know that it is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slighty, pain
results. Irregular living means derange

this. It's gentle, yet thorough. Only

Conan Doyle was once asked why he
didn't establish a detective agency and
employ Sherlock Holmes' tactics in
conducting the business. "For the
very good reason," he replied, "that
all the knots Sherlock Holmes untied
were of rity owyi tying. I should fail
if I undertook to unravel other people's
entanglements. I believe that on one
occasion 1 could have done so, though
I was in tailor shop when a rather un
attractive man was selecting a pair of
trousers. He flatly objected to striped
