Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble prey upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor

disappear when the kid

or diseased.
Kidney trouble his

that it is not uncommon
for a child to be bom
'afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, It Is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon It, the cause of
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 of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

and both need the same great remedy,

Yes, It's lively in the elt here they've got their

And the people soon have wrinkles from their

They've got shows and things to keep em from
a gittin' lonesome there, 9
And they look all-fired stjiiu in the costly do's
they wear.
But I guess tlii'y have their troubles Just the
same as me and ynu.
And I reckon that they're often rutber worse'n
ours, too.
We've got wood piled In the woodshed that'll
last a yaar er so,
And there's more out where that come from and
more sapllu't still to grow;
We alnt worried over coal strike, let the cold
winds blow away;
We can carry In the billets and not have a cent
to pay;
While they're shlverln' up yonder where they've
got so much to see
We can beat up fer the babies that the'Lord sent
you and me.
There Is always somethln' doin' to make city
people sad ;
If It ain't a sausage famine, w hy yisj'll hear the
water's bad;
When the strikers stop the street cars then the
dickens is to pay,
And the people have to foot It, gittin' clubbed
along the way,
And the fever epidemics and the smallpox every
year
Keep the city people stewln', and I'm glad to live
out here.
Oh, It's quiet in the country and there's few un
common sights,
And Coil's moon and stars up yonder have to do

But with 'tuters 111 the cellar and with wood

When there's hay stacked in the hay-mows for

SCARED TO DEATH BY BLACK
PAPKB COFFIN.
Atlanta Journal.
After receiving a paper cofhn,
which there was a note telling her
be prepared for the death that would
come within a week, Harriet Graham
an aged negress, reputed to be wealthy
hag been found dead in her bed at 806
Frazier street.
A coroner's jury returned a verdict
that the woman died from valvular
disease of the heart, partially due to
the fright caused by the gruesome
epistle she had received. Chief Ball, at
the request of Coroner Stamps, has de
tailed several detectives to work on the
case.
Harriett Graham was an ante-bellum
negress, the widow of George Graham
a negro known all over Atlanta. He
died wealthy, leaving his wife an entire
block of property with seventeen houses,
in one of which she lived. To a son.
who is now a teacher in the public
schools in Nashville, he left another
block of property. Thia son is a wid
ower, and the 15-year-old daughter
uvea witn ner grandmother.
About a month ago the aged negress.
on going to her front veranda, found a
box a foot long made of black paper in
the Bhape of a coffin. She was much
frightened by the ghoulish contrivance,
but took it into the house. -
It contained a long letter, in
scrawling hand, saying in substance
that the writer had for three years been
trying to get rid of her.
t"T Tl A An
now x ve paia ? iuu lor a recipe
that'll end your existence," the letter
said. "As soon as you take this cof
fin into your house you are doomed.
In ten days you'll be dead."
Ihe woman was terribly scared. She
did not, however, consult the police de
partment, but showed the letter in her
neighborhood. At the advice of her
neighbor who feared that she would
be poisoned, she stopped drinking from
the well in her yard, carrying water
for some distance in a buckst. Each
morning she found queer colored dirt
scattered about her house.
Friday afternoon her granddaughter
left the housafor an hour. Whop she
returned she found ftie old woman ly
ing dead on the floor. Her face was
distorted from fright, but there was no
mark of violence on her body.
Literally scared to death by the anon
ymous communication sjhe received,
however, was the verdict.
A Love Letter.

HAD POLITICAL 0HAPTKR.
A Republican Says He tsis.1 Sup.
port Candidate Nominated by
the methoda Adopted by ike Wlikea
boro Convention.
Cor. Charlotte Observer.
One of the saddest chapters in the
history of the Republican party
in
North Carolina is the proceeding of the
late so-called Republican congressional
convention at Wilcesboro and the va
nous processes of political prostitution
that led up to it from the primaries.
The writer his always been a Republi.
can never voted any other ticket
my life and ever expects to vote
stand by, and contend for those match
less principles of Republicanism as were
defined and defended by the immortals
Lincoln and McKinley, but when he
witnessed in the Wilkesboro convention
the deliberate departure from all that
the term Republicanism implies, his
contempt for such proceedings was
kindled with the righteous indignation
at a patriot. He cannot support a can
didate nominated by such revolutionary
methods. The utter disregard for all
parliamentary methods, the wild, reck
less revolutionary movements and the
self-evident determination of rule
ruin displayed in that convention would
be a disgrace to a band of Fiji Islanders
much less a body of men calling them
selves Republicans.
The fact that Mr. Blackburn had
firm hold on a large part of the district
is undisputed by those who are ac
quainted with affairs. He had worked
like a Trojan. Prior to the primaries
the revenue forces, many of the post
masters, and R. F. D. carriers had been
moving heaven and earth, so to speak,
in their efforts to manufacture Black
burn sentiment. And there were those
fellows who dreamed of the time when
they were going to-be postmasters, rural
carriers, etc., who also spent many
weary days and almost sleepless nights
toiling in the political potter shop try
ing to construct vessels with Blackburn
handles to them.
But after all the political ingenuity
of Mr. Blackburn had been exerted
and the orders to his lieutenants car
ried out the work of each private per
formed, still there remained a large
and respectable number of Republicans
who were anti-Blackburn men; who be
lieve there are men living within the
eighth congressional district who have
sense enough to represent it. These
men are found in every part of the die
trict, from the banks of the Rocky
river in Stanly to the summits of the
Great Smoky mountains in Ashe. Many
of these men favoi Mr. Linney, some
of them Mr. Price and others were for
any good Republican who lived in the
district. But they were all Republi
cans, man of them having voted that
ticket long before little Spencer ever
"drove his mother's cows up to the
milk gap," and have never failed to
vote the straight Republican ticket
down to this day. These men went to
Wilkesboro asking for nothing but fair
ness. They went as Republicans,
They anticipated nothing but just and
fair treatment and, like all true Repub
licans, they expected to abide by that
code of Republican jurisprudence that
has made the Republican party a power
before which the demons of injustice
and oppression have had to flee in ter-
roi. But alas, for all their expecta
tions of fairness. Instead of finding
the Blackburn forces ready to hear and
be heard, and all 'meet and act as a
band of political brothers, with differ
ent choices, they were denounced by
Mr. Blackburn himself as Democrats
and bolters, antl hence unworthy to be
found in the councils of a Republican
convention. AndHt is but fair to say
that these men were treated worse than
Democrats;.
In Mr. Blackburn's Quixotic eager
ness and haste to have a convention
called aim (tt before the snow had dis
appeared from the summits of the Blue
Ridge, this intrepid young knight of
Guilford had had his lieutenants name-!
a date that barely permitted the neces
sary time for the legal notices to be
served by fhe county and township
chairmen for their respective meetings,
and as a result of this unnecessary
haste, work had to proceed regardless
of legal notices or anything else; bence
it was found by ( credential commit
tee that irregularities so flagrantly at
variance with the plans of organisation
had been resorted to in fivw counties of
the district that no legal quorum could
be had to proceed with the convention.
Knowing all these lifts, the Blackburn
forces proceeded tcranake their own or
ganization, and nominate their man, as
tbss had declared all the time they
COM do, regardless of rules or prece
dent. Then, not content with the
nomination, Mr. Blackburn, in Lis
peech of acceptance, displayed his
utter lack of political wisdom, by pro
ceeding to lambaste all those Republi
cans who hadtlot jumped headlong
into his political cesspool and gone to
yelling. He further referred) man
for whose sister he had procured a po.
sition in Washington, saying that that
man waiow against him and that he
would not treat a negro inhat fashion
and then in the next breath Spencer
proceeded to skin alive the man who
gave him the first job he ever had in
Washington. A Voter.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Not far from Willow Grove lives
young farmer whose fine stock of horses
are admired by all who see them. The
other day a friend, an amateur, called
on him in search of ".something fast.
"There," said the stock farm owner,
pointing to an animal in the field
"there, sir, is a mare that -could trot
her mile in three minutes, were it not
for one thing."
"Indeed!" said the friend.
"Yes," continued Mr. ., "she was
4 years old last spring, is in good con
dition, looks well, and is a first-rate
mare, and she could go a mile in three
minutes were it not for one thing."
"What is it?" was the query.
"That mare," insisted the owner,
in every way a good mare, I work her
three or four days a week. She trots
fair and square, and yet there is one
thing that prevents her from going
mile in three minutes."
What in the name thunder is
it?" cried the friend, impatiently,
"Well," replied the other, quietly,
"the distance is too great for the time.'

Merely Waiting-.
A Northern man who was traveling
through the South, says the New York
Times, saw a darky under a tree by the
road-side on the edge of a field of corn.
The negro was gazing lazily up through
the branches, unmindful of a hoe which
lay by his side, and of the weeds which
grew luxuriantly in the corn-field.
"What are you doing?" acked the
Northern man.
"Ah'm out heah to hoe dat cohn,"
replied the darkey.
'Then what are you doing under the
tree?" persisted the traveller. "Rest
ing?" "No, sah, Ah m not resting, was
the drawled-out answer. Ah'm not
tiahed. Ah'm waitin fHw the sun to
go down so Ah kin quit wuk."
Proof of Hie Worth.
A year ago a manufacturer hired
boy. For months there was nothing
noticeable about the boy, says Leslie's
Monthly, except that he never took his
eyes off the machine he was running.
few weeks ago the manufacturer
looked up from his work to see the boy
landing beside his desk.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Want-me pay raised."
"What are you getting ?"
"T'ree dollars a week."
"Well, how much do you think you
are worth?"
"Four dollars."
"You think so, do you?"
"Yessir, an' I've been t'inkin' so for

busy I haven't had time to speak to you
bout it."
The boy got the "raise."

WILL YOCT
DO WITH
THB.m;
Mr. W. H. Felton In Atlanta Journal.
Somebody asks. What are we to do
with the gangs of wretched whites and
negroes, male and female, who infest
every city and country town ? They
are in the calabooses and petty courts
nearly all the time, and are a source of
annoyance to every decent person.
Fining them does no good. Work
ing them on the streets and roads might
do some good, but the trouble is they
are worked in such a slipshod way very
little good is accomplished. They are
useless as citizens, yet they are allowed
to increase like rats, to gnaw on the
public. What shall be done with
them ?
I am sure I do not know. As I sit
at my window occasionally and look
out on the big road, there are individ
uals of the class named, sometimes
droves of Utem, strolling along, going
or coming from town, and they pursue
the same business from January to
December, and there 'seems to be no
help for such Ioating and no prevention
for such laziness, and no remedy for
their sorry morals and poorer surround
ings. There are thousands of acres of land
on which these idlers and loafers and
vagrants could make a good living for
themselves and others, but they will not
work, and they will prey on the com
munity, and you are unable to compel
a better state of affairs.
We have a law on the statute books
which taxes cngnizuuue of people who
have no visible means of support, and
yet who prey on those wlio are more in
dustrious. As for that matter, we have
plenty of law to check bad conduct
among these wretched people, but the
law is a dead letter because it is not
enforced.
We need an iullux of laborers who
will work, and then these idlers must
starve, get away or go to work for them
selves. Some time since I chanced to go iuto
a shack of a cabin iu the suburbs of a
city, and there sat two stalwart negro
women, their feet over the embers of a
chip fire iu the middle of a bright, sun
shiny day, both reading novels. Both
could easily have earned a half dollar
that day by washing and ironing (and
yet laundry women are "scarce as hen
teeth"), and unless they stole some
body's wood that night there wouldn't
be tire enough in the shack to keep a
cat warm until next day. Now, it was
easy tc be seen that they lived off the
public. By fair means or foul, they
extracted a support from somebody.
No, I cannot answer. I do not
know what can be done with them.
Lincoln County Hermll sonnd Deaf
The Lincolnton Journal says the
dead body of M. L. Withers, who lived
alone in a hut in Lincoln county, was
found by the road side near his home
recently.
Withers lived the life of a hermit, saj s
the Journal, lie had been married and
four children surved him. His reasons
for his mode of life are not given. He
was fond of fishing and hunting and
for the past three years lived in hut
on the lands of P. C. Costner, near
Lincolnton. He bad constructed his hut
near the bank of the river. It was
built of plank he had obtained at an old
saw mill, these being set up against a
pole, forming arude tent like structure.
ine planus were then covered with a
thick layer of earth, and over this
another layer of plank. There was but
one opening, a small door, which was
so low that one could not stand erect
in, but to get in would have to crawl.
The chimney was built of flat rock got
ten together by himself.
In this rude hut, alone with nature,
the old man found happiness. He was
not averse to association with his kind
and on Saturday night before his death
had been fishing with a neighbor and
was apparently in good health. The
neighbors especially the boys, were
fond of visiting his hut to hear him
talk and a young man was goiug to
visit him when his dead body was
found. Death is supposed to have
resulted from heart disease as he was
rooming from a fishing expedition, as
his fishing polead lantern were found
byi side.

THE PANAMA CANAL AND THE
KOI TH.
"Throughout American history "the
exports from the Southern States, the
cotton, tobacco, timber, and naval
stores, have constituted a large part of
the tonnage of our foreign commerce
and recently phosphate, coal, iron and
steel, and general manufactures have
made an important addition to the out-
bond trade of that section," says Emory
R. Johnson in Everybody's Magazine,
The products of the South find their
foreign markets mainly in Europe, but
they are increasingly in demand in
Pacific countries from which they are
largely excluded by costs of transporta
tion. The canal will give the cotton
industries of the South a more profit
able trade in the Japanese market,
where there is a keen competition with
cotton from East India and China.
The new waterway will also aid in the
exportation of cotton manufactures to
western South America, Asia, and
Oceanioa, where Great Britian and Ger
many now control the trade. The
effect which the canal will have on the
iron and steel industries of the South
is illustrated by a statement made by
one of the largest firms in Birmingham,
Ala.: 'The opening of the Isthmian
Canal would be of incalculable benefit
to us in increasing our facilities for ex
port business, and would warrant the
development of our southern property
to the fullest extent.'
"The cunal will open up a large mar
ket for southern coal, lumber, naval
stores, and phosphate. The ooal will
be required by the vessels using the
canal, and the coaling stations of the
eastern part of the Pacific Ocean in
the tropical and south temperate lati
tudes, and also for industrial purposes
along the west coast of Central and
South America.
'I'm glad to observe that Mr. De-
Kanter has turned over a new leaf,"
remarked Mrs. Borden.
'How do you mean ma'am?" in
quired the observant chambermaid.
'He hasn't left his shoes on the hall
rack these last few nights."
"No ma'am, but you'd ought to see
how muddy his sheets are."
