Shcfrt of Breath, Faint and Languid. 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.

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, Inflammatory Hhenmallam Cored! William Shaffer, a brakeman of Den- nison, Ohio, was confined to his bed for several weeks witMnflammatory rheu matism. "I used many remedies, ' he says, "nnauy 1 sent to McCaw s drag store for a bottle of Cmmberlain's Pain Balm, at which time I was unable to use hand or foot, and in one week's time waa able to go to work ws happy as a clam.

The interment will be at Organ Church to-morrow. Mrs. Leah Basinger, whe diet on the Cth inst., was the wife of John A. Basinger, and lived in the Bostian X-Roads section, butwss a member of Organ Church. Some sneak thief on last Saturday night entered the smoke-house of Mr. James Shive, of upper Cabarrus, and took therefrom four large pieces of meat. Bro. Bailey preached at Rocks Grove yesterday. He has service at that place every third Sunday at 3 p. m. Wheat and oats, where they have not been frozen out, begin to look promising. , Mrs. S. C. Artz became quite sick last night, and is not much better this morning. Mrs. Elizabeth Barger, who has been in poor health for some time, had be gan to improve, but on yesterday she became worse, and is now confined to her room. The farmers have taken advantage of the past good weather, and plough ing has gone merrily on. More fertil izer is being hauled out than usual to be used tor both corn and cotton.

It would be interest intr reading, and doubtless be of his torical value in the end. H COPAL ft ROVE. Rev. C. L. 1. Fisher preached his last sermon at Bethel Church Sunday. A birthday festival with refreshments will be given at Misenheimer's Springs on Easter Saturday night, from 6 till 10 o'clock. Everybody is invited. Mr. L. O. Ritchie, who has been very sick for the past two weeks with typhoid fever and appendicitis, is im proving fast. Mr. E. V. Plyler, of Concord, will move near Copal Grove this week. The Ladies' Missionary Society of Bethel Church met with Mrs. J. O, Moose, at Misenheimer's Springs, on last Saturday at 2:30 p. in., with large attendance. A luncheon was given immediately after service, which was much enjoyed by all present. 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 ing apparatus that makes the stoned . . . I 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. Daeih 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."

K 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.
