Kidney trouble prey upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cneerissness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble his ' become) so prevalent 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 erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy, The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized.

VNCL8 H1HAM On CITT LIFE. Yes, It's lively in the elt here they've got their 'lectrlc lights, And the people soon have wrinkles from their stuyln' out o' nights; 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 fer 'lectrlc lights, But with 'tuters 111 the cellar and with wood piled in the shed, When there's hay stacked in the hay-mows for the stock that must be fed. They c an have their noisy .city, with the sights up there to see, And the kind old quiet country will be good enough for me. -8. E. Kiskh, In Chicago Record-Heruld 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.

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. Wilkesboro, April 4, 1904. Not Her Claae. 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.' Confederate Reunion, lialeig-h Post. Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, and Maj. II. A. London, of Pittsboro, held a conference here yesterday relative to plans for the Confederate reunion to be held in Nashville Tenn., June 14th The railroads have knnouueed that very low rates will be put on, the round trip fare from Raleigh being $13. A gen eral order will be issued by Gen. Carr shortly outlining the plans for the North Carolina veterans. The Raleigh drum corps, composed of Messrs Hay dos, Lewis end Johnson, the only corps in the south composed of veter ans of the civil war, will attend as rep resentatives from the Gen. L. O'B Branch Camp of this city. They at traded much attention at the New Or leans reunion 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 'reeVteks, but I've been so blame busy I haven't had time to speak to you bout it." The boy got the "raise."

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. Srlatle H Melissa Unas cured.

"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." "I have used Chaiuberluiu's Stomach aud Liver Tablets with most satisfactory results," says Mrs. F. L. Pheliw, Hous ton, Texas. For iudigestiou, biliousness aud constipation these tablets are most excellent. Sold by M. L. Marsh. J3TG STOCK -OF FURNITURE that must be sold in thirty days.
