Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preynipon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased,
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
I that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
1 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 o 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.

FA.nOVS SOUTH KHN OBtTOBI
(Sargcnt a. Prenllaa.
Sunny Sojtb.
Two great American orators closely
resembling one another both in per
sonal appearance and inatyleof oratory
were Sargent 8 Prentiss and Henry
W. Grady, and both died before reach
ing tne prime ot life. Mr. frentiae is
best known by the great speech wbicb
be delivered in congress long before the
war on the Mississippi contested elec
tion, but no single extract can possibly
do justice to this stately masterpiece of
eloquence, and we quote the following
paragraphs from his eulogy on Lafay
ette, delivered in New Orleans on the
occasion of the great Frenchman's
death. Said Mr. Prentiss:
"Death, who knocks with equal hand
at tbe door of the cottage and the pal
ace gate, has been busy at his appoint
ed work. Mourning prevails through
out tbe land and the countenances of
all are shrouded with the mantle of re
gret. Far across the wild Atlantic,
amid the pleasant vineyards in the
sunny land of France, there, too, is
mourning and the weeds of sorrow are
alike worn by prince and peasant.
"Against whom has the monarch of
the tomb turned his remorseless dart
that such widespread sorrow prevails?
Hark, and the agonized voice of free
dom, weeping for her favorite son, will
tell you in tone sadder than those with
which she shrieked when Kosciusko
fell, that Lafayette -the gallant and the
good has ceased to live.
"The friend and companion of Wash
ington is no more. He who taught
the eagle of our country while yet un
fledged to plume his young wing and
mate his talons with the lion's strength
has taken his flight far beyond the
stars, beneath whose influence he fought
so well. Lafayette is dead! The gal
lant ship, whose pennon has so often
streamed above the roar of battle and
the tempest's rage has at length gone
slowly down in the still and quiet wa
ters. "Well might thou, 0 death, now re
cline beneath the laurels thou hast won,
for never since, as the grim messenger
of Almighty vengeance, thou earnest
into this world did a more generous
heart cease to heave beneath thy chill
ing touch and never will thy insatiate
dart be hurled against a nobler breast.
Who does not feel at the mournful in
telligence as if he had lost something
cheering from his 'own path through
life; as if some brighstar, at which be
bad been accustomed frequently and
fondly to gaie, had been suddenly ex
tinguished in the firmartjent?
"Virtue forms no shield to ward off
the arrows of death. Could it have
availed, even when coupled with tbe
prayers of the whole civilized world,
tea, indeed this mournful occasion
would never have occurred and theife
of Lafayette would have been as im,
mortal as his fame. Yet, though he
has j)issed from among us; though that
countenance will no more be seen that
used to lighten up the vao of freedom's
battles as she led her eaglets to thnr
feast; still faas he left behind his better
part; the legacy of his bright example,
the memory of his deeds. The lfsping
infant will learn to speak bis venerated
name. The youth of every couotr)
be taught to IritSk upon his career
aud to follow his f wtsteps.
"When hereafter a galUnt people
are fighting for freedom against the
oppBjveor and their cause tx gin to wan-
.gainst the mercenary bands orVfranm
thenwi!l tbe name of Lafayette becom
watchword that will strike with terror
on the tyrant's ear and nerve redoubled
vigor the fret-man's arm. Auli-tosm
n.any a heart, before unmoved, will
wake in the glorious cause and many a
word, rusting io gloriously in its scab
bard, will leap forth to battle.
' But even amid the mourning with
which our souls are shrouded is there
not some room for gratulation? Our de
parted friend and benefactor baa gone
down to the tomb peacefully and quietl)
at a good old age. He had performed
kit appelated work. Wit virtues
ripe. He bad done nothing to sully his
fair name.
"N blot or soil of envy or calumny
can now affect him. His character will
stand upon the pges of history, ,jure
and unsullied as the lined emblem at)
his country's banner. He has departed
from among us, but he baa become
again tbe companion of Washington
He baa but left tbe friends of his old
age to associate with the friends of his
youth.
"Peace be to his ashes! Calm and
quiet may they rest upon some vine
clad bill of his own beloved land! And
it shall be called the Mount Vernon of
France. And let no cunning sculp
ture, no monumental marble, deface
with its mock dignity tbe patriot's
grave; but rather let the unpruned vine,
tbe wild flower and the free song of the
uncaged bird, all that speaks of free'
dom and of peace, be gathered around
it. Lafayette needs no mausoleum.
His fame is mingled with the nation's
history. His epitaph is engraved upon
the hearts of men.''
Japan In Coutrol of Korea.
Shanghai, April 19 Authentic ad
vices from Seoul dated April 12ib, de
clare that the Japanese are in complete
control of Korea, and that Russian
scouting parties have retired across the
Yalu before the Japanese, who occu
pied Wiju practically without resistance.
Tbe Japanese army is divided into two
forces, one for expeditionary purposes
and other for occupation. The former,
numbering 45,000, is advancing to the
Yalu and the latter of 15,000 reservists,
making communication arrangements
with the headquarters at Seoul, where
there is a garrison of 4,000. The head
quarters of the transport service are at
Chemulpo. The railroad building and
grading is progressing rapidly. Forty
transports off Haiju are supposed to
have landed part of their forces at
Takusban, and it is the evident inten
Uon to disembark the second army at
Yongampho preparatory to forcing the
Yalu.
A Frightful Accident.
A laborer was on his way to his work
the other morning as a "through

where a crowd had assembled for the
"way" train, due in a few moments
A child who had strayed to the edge of
the platform seemed about to lose her
balance in her effort to get a good view
of the oncoming engine.
Quick as a flash the workman jumped
forward, tossed the child back to a place
of safety, and was himself grazed by
the cylinder, which rolled him over on
the platform pretty roughly.
Several people hastened to his assist

with a face expressive of grave concern.

FARMEHS WANT PROTECTION.
Law to Enforce Contracts Between
Landlords and Tenants.
CharlotteUironlcle. . .
It is understood that many farmers
in this county are anxious to have the
next Legislature enact a Jaw for the
enforcement of contracts between land
lords and tenants, and it has been sug
gested that the gentlemen who may
offer themselves as legislative, candi
dates in Mecklenburg will have to give
evidence of their willingness to support
such legislation before they can receive
the support of some of the farmers.
Tbe pretest unsatisfactory and almost
intolerable conditions of farm labor are
responsible for this feeling on the part
of the farmers.
A gentleman who owns a good farm
near the city said to a Chronicle re-'
porter today:
"Tbe labor question is undoubtedly
the most serious problem confronting
tbe farmers of Mecklenburg county to
day, and I and many ef my neighbors
are in favor of requiring every candi
date for the Legislature to promise to
work for a law tbat will enforce labor
contracts before we will agree to sup
port him in the primaries or at the
polls. Conditions have come to such a
pass that I see no remedy except in
legislation. I will give an example of
the intolerable conditions under which
we labor: A tenant may spend ibe
winter on a farm, burn the landlord's
wood, eat his rations and get into his
debt in other ways, and when spring
comes, he may pick up and move away
without notice, and the landlord has no
redress.
"You can readily underatatand how
this works to our disadvantage. We
make contracts with tenants to work
portions of our farms, and after feed
ing them through the idle winter
months and preparing for tbe crops we
expect them to work, they may move
to other farms, not only leaving in our
debt, but disarranging our plans for tbe
cropping season.
"Under tbe present law, a tenant can
hold a landlord to the letter of a con
tract, but when a hired man or a crop
per violates an agreement, the landlord
is helpless. The law is all in favor of
the shifilees tenant, and while I would
not have any of bis rights taken away,
I want to see the Legislature enact
law that will give the landlord equal
protection. For this reason, I am io
favor of the Mecklenburg farmers get
ting together and demanding of can
didates for the Legislature that they are
to give us the relief we need so much."
There is at present a law which pro
vid(s a penalty of a fine of $50 and im
prisonment for 80 days for any work
men who "jumps" a contract, but
members of tbe Charlotte bar have
given it as their opinion that this slat
ute does not apply to tenants or hired
men on farms.
Take Your rbolce.

"Say, O'Phelan," said Gallagher,

it's a little Bigger."
"Again, O'Phelan," said Gallagher,
Mr. Bigger died. Who was the big
ger then!"
'It's too much for me," said O'Phe
lan, "put me wise."
"The old man he is still Bigger."
"That is not all, O'Phelan," said

BLL A WHEBLKR WH.COI
Warns Clrla Against marrying; a Alan
to Reform Him,
New York Journal.
A foolish girl marries a man who has
been sentenced to prison for five years
for theft and who hapreviously served
a term for a similar offense. She
believes her devotion is to save the man
and thinks her act heroic and romatic.
It is simply foolish, and in a way
criminal. It is criminal in its possi;
bility of furnishing another generation
of thieves for the earth.
What this girl should have done to
prove her devotion was to say: "I will
wait for you to serve your term, and I
will wait three years after you have
served it, and if your life will bear in
vestigation then I will marry you. But
I must first know that you are not
utterly perverted in mind and tbat you
are a man whom 1 can be proud to call
tbe father of my children."
Marriage does not mean merely the
united lives of two people and the world
well forgot. It means the bringing
into the world of other lives to influence
for good or ill tbe whole human family.
I always think of the people of this
earth in one tremendous circle holding
to a cord. Let any one jerk the cord
and it is felt by the entire circle. Every
life on earth influences every other life
to some degree.
It is absurd to talk about being a law
unto ourselves, or of cutting loose from
the rest of society. It cannot be done
We are all united by a cimmon bond
and what we do and think is iutlu
encing the world every hour.
The woman who marries a confirmed
criminal not only jeopardizes her cwn
future, but the future of the human
race. Men would feel a greater impetus
to reform and lead worthy lives
women were not so ready to accept them
uoreformed.
"With all thy faults Hove thee still,'
makes a very touching song, but when
it is trausla'ed to mean, "With all thy
crimes I am still ready to marry thee,'
it becomes a menace to society.
There is something peculiarly fascin
ating to a ctrtain order of feminine
mind in the idea of standing by a crim
inal. Analyzed it could probably be
traced to the maternal instinct tbe
desire to protect and comfort.
To be tbe guardian angel, the guide
the protector of the poor sinner seems
picturesque and romantic to the young
girl, and when that impulse does not
lead to marriage it is commendable
But when tbe repentant sinner resumes
his normal condition and relegates into
the theft, the murderer, or housebreaker,
the silly woman who has taken his
name and bore bis child sees life in s
different light. Tbe romance is strip
ped from the situation and it is shown
in all its ugly, criminal, degrading
reality.
That young boys are led into crime
who are good at heart is a fact, and
that such men become worthy citizens
and good husbands and fathers is true.
But tbe intention of these words is
merely to protest against the hysterical
impulse so frequently found in Anieri
can young women to associate them
selves with criminals, and to accept
them as lovers and husbands before
testing the sincerity ot their resolutions
to reform.
There should be a law to prevent any
silly woman from marrying a convicted
criminal until he has given proof of
reformation by at least one year of
straight living. Women should stand
by and encourage good men and give
only their moral support and assistance
toward reform to the wrong dotes of the
earth.
The honest, industrious, unselfish
young men,' toiling away, trying to
make a home for the future and deserv
ing of the love of some good girl, must
feel a sense of discouragement as they
read of the law-bre.kers and criminals
on whom is bestowed such devotion.
Be just and normal and sensible,
young women, before you undertake to
be heroic.
The Flgbt Against Blaeabnrn.
Winston-Salem, N. C, April 18.
Sam Marshall, of Surry, u member of
the anti-Blackburn taction, was here
tnis evening on his way to Statesville,
presumably to Attend a meeting of the
clans. Marshall expressed confidence
in the movement to nominate a candi
date for Congress in tbe Eighth district,
claiming that Blackburn was not legally
tamed at Wilkesboro.
A local Rapublican predicts that if
another convention is held, Marshall
will be nominated to antagonize Black
burn, and that then the contest will be
carried before the State convention.

II KH MONOPOLY.
"What ia the reason Mrs. Lawton
with all good points is so unpopular?"
asked the summer boarder of her aunt,
fMiss Euphemia Boggs. "I'm sure she
is kind-hearted and generous, and cap
able and good-natured."
"She's a monopolist, or thinks she
is," snapped Miss Boggs, "and folks
don't like it!"
"A monopolist?" repeated her niece.
"What do you mean, Aunt Phemy?"
"I mean jusf what I say," said Miss
Boggs, firmly. "She's a monopolist
of diseases and accidents and happen
ings of every kind. Start in to tell ber
about an attack of rheumatism you've
had, or a sprained wrist, or your
cousin's diphtheria, or a railroad dis
aster you've read about, or how your
siovepipe fell apart, or what an unusual
drought they've leen having where
your brother lives, and she'll sit on the
edge of her chair looking as if she'd
burst, till you stop for breath.
"Then when you do stop she'll say,
'You can't tell me anything about
rheumatism;' or, 'The doctor said he
never saw a sprain like mine;' or,
guess you've never heard how I hung
betwixt life and death for weeks with
diphtheria;' or, 'No railroad accident
sounds like much to me after what I
passed through in Ohio when the bridge
broke;' or, 'I haven't got anything to
learn about what stovepipes can do
after my experience two years ago;' or,
'I presume it's slipped your mind that
I was in California at the time of that
terrible drought, the worst that's ever
been known,' "
"And does she make up stories,"
asked Miss Euphemia'e niece in amaze
ment, "stories to tit all such times?"
"Make em up," said Miss Boggs,
testily; "she don't have to make 'em
up. That's what irritates folks so,
everything she says is true. And you
take a town like this, about all we've
got to be proud of is what happens to
us."

It is gratifying to note that the Dur
ham authorities, having promised to
enforce vaccination, are making their
words good. The law is ample, and
wherever small pox prevails in a com
munity those who set up to defy the
law should be brought to taw if it takes
a regiment of troops to enforce the reg
ulation. Vaccination is now and has
been for years recognized by the most
eminent authorities as the only safe
preventive of smallpox, and tiie danger
from vaccination is piactically nothing.
Those who oppose it discredit them
selves and their opposition to so benefi
cent a health measure is a relic of the
ignorance a ad superstition of the dark
ages.
