Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preyi upon the mind, dis courages and lessens em billon; beauty, vigor ana cneonuiness soon disappear when the kid neys are out 01 oraer "or diseased... Kidney Sbuble has become so prevalent I that it is not uncommon lor a child to be born 3 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 me aimcuity 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 wd not to a habit most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder tfuble and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the Immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, In fifty cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell Horn ol Swamp-Root, ing all about it.

Beforriog to the decision of -Igplge mtcnara in tbe JJaniels-r urnell conM tempt case, the Wilmington Messenger ays: "This decision should Dot relieve edi ton from the obligation which always rests upon them to treat with respect the judges of our courts and to be gen' tlemanly and dignified in their criti cisms of the official acta ofejuch men Editors should recognize and Observe the difference between legitimate criti' cum r a man s official acta and per sonal abuse and villification. Because it baa been decided that a newspaper article, no matter how severe or per' sonal, regarding the conduct of a judge is not contempt is no reason why edi tors should indulge in such style of criticism. We do think that certain newspapers in this State have in tbe past gone too "far in their criticism of public officers. They sometimes fail to recognize the difference between criti cierrof the official acta of a man in office and denunciation and abuse of the man personally. We hope this case which has given such prominence and ha attracted so much attention to the ques ticn of contempt by editors will have a salutary effect and that it will result in a more dignified and conservative treat ment by some of our editors of public officials. ''Before this decision was made the press had all the liberty it needed for protecting the rights of the people and inveighing against the encroachments of the judges upon those rights. The liberty of the press was in no danger before this decision and has not been made any greater by it, for it had all the liberty it was entitled to before the decision was made. Neither now or then should any editor fear punish ment for legitimate and proper con demnation of the acta of a judge or any other State or Federal official." The Landmark has on occasion in' dulged in criticism of judges and courts, and if it has at any time overstepped the bonds it accepts in good part what' ever 01 tne Messenger s remarks may apply to it, for the Messenger is right in the position it takes in the foregoing. We very much fear that the recent do cisions of the courts which decisions we hold are proper and right will have a tendency to cause some newspapers to go beyond proper and legitimate bounds in criticism; to cause the liberty of the press in some instances, to de generate into license. Overmatched ay a Woman. The late W. W. Corcoran, the mil lionaire philanthropist of Washington, who gave to the city the magnificent art gallery which bears bis name, was very fond of telling how he was once overmatched by a wealthy maiden lady from whom he desired to purchase a piece of property. Mr. Corcoran was the owner of the Arlington Hotel, at the corner of Ver mont AvenueVnd H Street. Adjoin ing the hotel property on the H Street side was a handsome brownstone man sion, owned by the maiden lady. The lot upon which the house was built extended back to I Street, a distance of four hundred feet, and abutted on the rear of the hotel property. Mr. Corcoran found it necessary to enlarge the hotel, and with this end in view desired to purchase the ear end of tbe lot owned by the maiden lady. As she was very wealthy, he knew that large price would not be any special inducement, and for a time was at a loss to know exactly bow to approach her. He finally concluded to go straight to the point, and therefore ad dressed her the fol'owing note: '-near Mia. IT ITm Hiirn will vnn take for your bac yard J "We, wish to nlarge the Arlington Hotel. Yours sincerely, "W. W. Cofcoras." rromptly came tbe reply: "Dear Mr. Corcoran: How much will you take for the Arlington Hotel? We wish to enlarge ir back yard. ours coraiaiiy, . a. u.

The Prodigal Son was eating of the husks, "Who do you do so?" inquired his father who had come all tbe way to look him np. A Because it's just like breakfast food!" was the response. "And those crusts, why eat themT" "The're practically predigested!" Realizing that his favorite son was a hopeless scientific food maniac, he wired at once for them to release the fatted call PLANT KHaklEs COST mlLLIONS. The destruction wrought on crops by the countless plant enemies throughout the country is mealed by a report issued by the department of agriculture on "plant diseases in 1903." Besides the mass of detail regarding conditions in the United States proper, it shows that the coffee leaf blight has accidentally been introduced in Forto Rico and measures are being taken to stamp it out. Cocoa in Porto Rico is affected by a black pod rot canker and root disease.' The tomato blight has practically ruined the tomato crop of Porto Rico. A potato rot has caused the loss of nearly the entire potato crop. Orange scab has caused consid erable damage in the Bayamon district. Tbe cotton root rot in Texas pre vailed to a greater extent than for many years, the loss being estimated at about $2,000,000. Anthranaose has been greatly pre valent from North Carolina to Georgia and locally injurious, especially to sea island cotton In south Georgia. Wilt has spread slowly and now occurs in limited areas in North Carolina and South Carolina and is widely prevalent in south Georgia and southeastern Alabama, in connection with the root knot. Rust occurred as usual on the poorer soils and was unusually severe in Texas. The potato blight and rot caused widespread destruction. The damage is estimated at $10,000,000 for the season in New York alone. Crown gall is becoming more serious every year as a nursery pest throughout the country. Strawberry leaf blight is less prevalent. Dieback among the citrous fruit dis eases in Florida is less destructive than before 1903, Corn smut caused heavy loss in Maryland and was common in New York. Corn leaf blight was gen eral in Connecticut, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Rice blast was prevalent in the Cooper river sections of South Carolina, where the crop was over 1UU,UUU busbels snort. The loss from tb,e spread of this disease in the past six years is estimated at $1,000,000. Watermelon wilt is spreading in the south and cantaloupe leaf blight was injurious, especially in the south, the loss in Florida being 40 per cent, Tomato bacterial wilt was widespread in the south. The fusariuru wilt in Flor ida caused a loss of $500,000 and large areas of land also had to be thrown out of cultivation. Cucumber downy mildew caused large losses in Florida and the trucking section near Charles' ton, S. C, where the estimated loss was $100,000, Apple scab was much less Injurious in New England, New York and Penn sylvania and Michigan than last year, but it seems to have been more de' structive in the west. Pear blight was more than usually prevalent this year in the east. In the south it is universal, and little effort is made to control it. There was an epidemic of pear leaf blight that defoliated trees from Maryland southward. - Brown rot was again lees injurious in the eastern states, but was very destruc tive to southern peaches, the loss amounting to from 30 to 60 per cent, of the crop in Georgia. Shot His Brother D'lad. Charlotte, N. C. June, 13. Alex ander Sikes, a young man seventeen years old, was instanly killed by bis little five-year old brother this afternoon at Highland Park mills. The two boys were watching some other boys throw horse shoes. Henry Sikes, the five- year-old boy, held a shot gun when it was discharged and the entire load took effect in Alex Sikes's left side. Several of the shot must have passed through the heart as the boy died instantly. The Boy or The Ball Pap If a man had a $30 bull pup he would look after it very carefully and not let it run over town at night. But he has a boy it is different. He is turned loose at a tender age tp go to tbe bad and the people wonder where the great army of bums, tramps, dead beats, loafers, thieves and gamblers come from.

"A doctor here has sued me for$13.90, which I claimed was excessive for a case of choltra morbus," saya R. White, of Ooachella, CaL "At the trial he praised his medical skill aO medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used as I had good reason to believe it was, and he would not say under oath that it was not."

At the convention of the Amenaan Medical Association, lately in session at Atlantic City, N. J., a distinct sen sation was created by a paper. read by Dr. A. Lipthom Smith, of Montreal, in which he denounced in strong language the higher education of girls, on the ground that it unfit them for domestic life. The Montreal physician, who stands high in his profession, internationally, holds that higher education for women is "unwise and unjustifiable because it makes the duties and privileges of motherhood distasteful." In his paper he declared that the health of American girfl is not as good as was that of their mothers and grandmothers, at the same age, and added: For these conditions we must blame the over-education of women.' The blood that is necessary f Jr her body is diverted to her brain. If children come to these highly educated women, they are usually few in number and physically or mentally deficient. The phosphates that should be in their littie bodies have been stolen to fit out tbe brains of their mothers. I would have girls taught the same elements in the same manner and to the same degree as bote, but I would cut out algebra, astronomy and alf the higher subjects. In their stead I would substitute outdoor sports, cooking, sew ing and care of the child. 1 would give girls frequent vacations and would advise early marriages. If the breed that now dominates this continent is to live, it must begin, and that soon, the sensible, practical training of its girls. If the starvation and mortification of the flesh for the exaltation of the spirit shall continue, the righteous sentence of death will be inexorably executed. Now, let us hear from the women's clubs! Tbe convention before which Dr. Smith made prominent his radical views was attended by fully 3,000 dele gates, representing every state in the union, including physicians prominent in Germany, Austria, Cuba, the South American republics and Canada. It is said that many of tbe delegates agreed with the Canadian physician, and the subject he discussed promises to become a bone of professional controversy, with no end of lay discussion. We may now expect to hear th knowing ones "smoke up" strain th great question of race suicide. Teddy's Teaching:" and the Charlotte Poatofltce. Special to News and Observer. Charlotte, N. C, June 13. Post maste R. W. Smith has recommended John E. Walker, colored, for appoint' ment to a position as clerk in the Char lotte postoffice. ' The recommendation was forwarded to the Postoffice Depart. ment Saturday, and since the recom mendation is tantamount to an appoint ment, the colored man will go on duty tomorrow night. He will go to work as a night clerk, at a salary of $600 a year, working with white clerks. Mr. Jake F. Newell, chairman of the Mecklenburg county Republican exec utive committee, and the Republican Candida for Congress in this district, deplores the action of Postmaster Smith in recommending a negro for appoint' ment as clerk in the Charlotte post office, saying: "The Republican party of Mecklenburg county does not stand for tbe action of Postmaster Smith in appointing a negro to a position in the postoffice when there were eligible white men anxious for the job." , Thrown From a Mr, George K. Babcock was thrown from his wagon and severely bruised. He applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely and says it is the best liniment he ever used. Mr. Babcock is a well-known citizen of North Plain, Conn. There is nothing egaal to Pain Balm for sprains and bruises. It will effect a cure in one-third the time required by any other treatment.

St. Petersburg Dispatch. General Parinzoff, military writer for the army organ, The Invalid, inter fviewed on the possibilities oi Port Arthur being taken by assault, says : "The question appears unnecessary. The feat is almost impossible." In bis opinion Port Arthur can hold out at least five months, having pro visions for that period. As for the statement that the ships are short of fuel', he says the coal supply js colossal. The idea voiced by General Panozoff is widely held here. The combined persistent advance by the northern forcesf the Japanese has given rise to the theory that General Kuroki may be intending a grand at tempt to cause General Kuropatkin to retire before a sweeping enveloping movement, as foreshadowed in the tak ing of Saimateza simaltaneously with the occupation of Siu Yen. It is being pointed out that the taking of Saimatsza means that Motien 'Pass, so strongly held by the Russians, has been turned The whole idea of forcing General Kuropatkin to give battle under uufa vorable circumstances, with the alter native of retiring, is to give ample time to tbe Japanese forces in the Kwan Tung Peninsula to starve the Fort Arthur garrison into surrender, thus avoiding the enormous loss of life, with a doubtful result, which an attempt at taking tbe place by assault mean, and before which the eminent Jap anese military advisers of the Mikado recoil. General Kuroki's combined forcesare slowly pushing forward, building roads as they go. It is now ascertained that the Jap anese have twelve divisions of their active army in the field, which are added to by a considerable portion of the reserve, make a total approaching 300,000 men.
