Address an oommunleatlona to Tn Km ihq Tklbqbam, Greensboro. N. O. FRIDAY. MAY 12, 1899. OUR UNINSPIRED TROOPS. Several American transports are en route home from the Philippines, not "freighted with a victorious army, but loaded with troops who are 6ick and wounded unto death, unblamed vic tims of the unrighteous policy of the leaders of this government. Before the long and weary voyage across the water is over, many a poor boy, with no tender and loving hands to fold the pale hands across his breast, will have found a sailor's tomb, beneath the dark, restless waves. Just one year ago yesterday, Easign Worth Bagley, the brilliant young North Carolinian, yielded up hi8 life, the first American officer to fall in the "war for humanity." A pall was cast over the nation at the death of one so young, so handsome and so brave. Whileour boys who are fall ing in the far eastern battlefield are as deeply mourned as the dead defenders of the oppressed Cubans, the cause for which they are dying is so far less esteemed, and so far just, that the men who made famous Cardenas and San tiago will ever be looked upon as the greater heroes. There is no doubt that if the Span iards or any other people were mur dering the Fill pi no8 and our troops had been sent across the seas to administer succor to the people who prefer death to the loss of their liberties, our sol diers, inspired by the glorious and Christian cause, would sweep every thing before them as the wind scatters the chaff. "Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just." President McKInley is an inveterate smoker, and it is said that during his stay at tie Hot Springs, he is trying to reduce his allowance of tobacco. Exchange. There is no need for the president to try to quit the habit. The people will make him smoke again next elec tion. Four men were killed in Mississippi in collecting a doctor's bill. Rich mond Times. We are not informed of the number who were killed in the incurring of the bill, but suppose only one. There is oce thing Mr. Justice Wal ter Clark learned well when young To say "no." A supreme court dec! eion without having attached to its end his dissenting voice, would be a rare curio indeed. Funstoa's name is said to be a ter ror to the poets. They can't find any thing that will rhyme with it. WHAT MAKES A CITY. Some Excellent Advice From the Pen of Mr. C. H. Ireland. "Watchman, Tell Us of the Night, What the Signs of Promise Are." It is said by those competent to know, that underlying Greensboro there is a tolid granite foundation of many miles in width, and the depth has not yet been penetrated. I have thought of this recently and wondered why we, of this thrice blessed little city, did not take cognizance of nature and utilize this intimation for our perpetuity in our commercial and in dustrial relations. We are ia the habit of hearing, yea, we have heard it until it has become a trite saying, "Greensboro is one of the coming towns of the South, and has a brieht future before her." Let us look to our foundations. Not that foundations are all; but as necessary if we build permanently, and however good our foundations may be, let's bear in mind that foundations do not make structures, but it Is the heaping of item on item, systematically planned, that makes a symmetrical structure at last. Now, one thing that we all have a way of doing, is to claim we are so centrally located we are bound to be a city. Central to what ? There are localities in Central America that are centrally located with two continents to draw from. Localities do not make cities, however much they may con tribute to them. Good farming local ities at and near do not build cities, but are of immenua vain a In VruTi them up once they are built. The' country adjacent to Greensboro is ua surpassed, I believe, in the world. Schools and colleges do not build cities, however much they may be nec essary to perpetuating them when they are builded, and in no community, north or south, are people so blessed ih a.i-A in Greensboro in this particular. Professioral men do not duuq cities, they are the fruits of cities, and we have no cause to be nervous In com paring our professional men with other oommunltes. Merchants do not make citif s. They grow aa the city grows, and this oiass of our citizens may bete rmed the city's real barometers, for every city is great in proportion to its merchants. The merchant princes of the orient, tne Mathers, Stewarts, Fields, Dodges, Wanamakers, and others of later years have done more to extend the scope and influence of the cities in which they reside than possibly any other class of its citizens. Our merchants are brought into close competition with those of other and larger cities thrnu hout the country. Their works abide as a testimony to their ability Banks do not make cities. They are financial measurers of their success. The three strong institutions of lhi kind In our city speak well for our present and lend promise to a greater future development. Then one. may ask what does make a city. Answer people, what attracts peop'e ? Em ployment, labor, what kind of labor ? All kinds, skilled and unskilled But the real development of the city de pends upon the number and variety of those who convert raw material into manufactured articles. In other words, factories, manufactories, give us these and all our present accomplishment. Genius and location become the .terns which enable us to build the success ful, substantial, well proportioned and symmetrical city, but unless the foundation is there, permanency can never be assured, and all the blow and b uster about these other things will prove a delusion and a snare, and wil like a bubble, burst and leave us at last worse than when he began. We have only to recall the evrnts of the last few years in our unfortunate Vlr ginia cities. Five-years ago street cars, electric lights and buildings su perior to any now in Greensboro, with populations greater than ours Today many of them are deserted man sioDS. the home of bat and owl. Men shoot hares where they once "fleeced lambs" of a different kind. The opos sum climbs electric light poles in search of fruit that never grew and where once the busy hum of footsteps surged to and fro, the quiet bovine chews her cud and dreams in quiet solitude and wonders at the folly of man. Why did not these cities prr sper? They did once. They were located in a region than which the world never saw better. Many of them had school?, colleges, stores, merchants and every evidence of thrift and prosperity. Yea! many bad the buildin.s for manufactories. Timber grew in plenty near. Iron ore in beds right under the city. Then why was It they retro graded? Simply because they failed to convert the raw material into rranufactured articles. The harmony of their industrial music was destroy ed by the lack of the deep bass in the hum of her machinery, the high treble of the Bp' lining ring, the tattoo of hammer on anvil vise, and the cor net note of steam whistle calling a busy throng of men and women to la bor and toil. Let us take this to ourselves Reader are you satis tied with our present factory achievements? Far be it from me to disparage one of our industries, even the smallest. Our wood-working factories, foundries, tobacco factories, overhaul and pant factories, cotton mills, finishing mills and kni'ting mills are all right as far as they go. The only thing ihey lacir, is the application of the multiplication table. There is one- idea I think we should all combat, that because we can't have large factories we will have none. I believe a half dozen small factories will do more to build up a city than one with the capacity of six. Start small factories, cult! vate them until they grow large; lo cate them inside the ci y. This is what makes cities. The area of Greensboro is sufficient now to build a city of 100 thousand. Make such in ducements inside' that n en will not go outside. I am awarethat this may inter fere with some of the corn fields, m a dows and prfrfival forests that now adorn some of our streets. But tax them to make revenue, to induce fac tories to locate here, or else to furnish sites for manufacturing establishments. But, says some one, I am no capitalist, what can I do? I believe this is a matter that concerns every one, and overy one should contribute his mite. i nave a pian: ubi every man in Greensboro set aside one-tenth of his income to invest in some manufacture Ing enterprise; look well into its in vestment, sow your mite in faith and good' judgment and await develop ments. This may cost some incon venience for the first year, but you keep it up five years and there will not be a man in our community whose income over and above what it now is that will not be more than sufficient for him to spare what he would now inve.t, but leave him a handsome cur plus, which if properly directed, will yield him a handsome amount upon which he can depend in later years. Now stop, think, is this feasible? Then act. Build factories and manufactories. Let this be the watchword for the next years to come factories, factories, factories. Charles H. Ireland.

If you suffer from tenderness or full ness on the right side, pains under shoulder-blade, constipation, bilious ness, sick-headache, and feel dull, heavy and sleepy, your liver is torpid and congested.

Stern parent "Look here, miss; kindly explain how it happened that I -aw young Spooner hugging you in the parlor last evening." Bright daughter "Why, it must have been because he didn't know you were look in', papa." I was reading an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester Enterprise recently, which leads me to write this. I can truthfully say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhoea. I have never had to use more than one or two doses to cure the worst case with myself or children. W. A. Stroud, Popomoke City, Md. For Bale by C. E. Holton. "This story of yours, Scribbler, ap pears to me to lack crispness." "Well, don't blame me. If the critics didn't roast it properly that's not my fault" Hoax "That tailor of mine is an impudent fellow. He got hot when I called him down about my clothes." Joax "Ah! made a fitting reply, did he?" "No; his remarks were as ill fitting as the suit. No Torture Equal to the Itching and Burning ot This Fearful Disease. Rheumatism Cured. I RAW AS BEEF fftd ECZEMA! tion 01 a humor in the blood of terrible Eczema which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc, applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin ; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: 'I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from' the disease, as I hate been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. 8. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. 8. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly." Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to the bottom to the cause of the disease and will cure the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc Insist upon S. S. S. ; nothing can take its place.

The fact that the head is smooth and shining: is no positive proof that the roots beneath are dead. Deep down beneath the skin, hair roots may yet exist, filled with latent vitality, and all that is re quired to develop them into a beautiful head of hair is the faith ful application of the proper agents. Seven Sntherland Sisters s 0 o 1 preparations furnish the easiest, Q surest and quickest way to acer tain if there is or is not latent life beneath a head bare of hair. Why not try them? M Not much attention is often paid to the first symptoms of Eczema, but it is not long before the little redness begins to itch and burn. This is but the beginning, and will lead to Buffering and torture almost unen durable.
