air and turned reluctant faces
homeward.
BOONE ITEMS.
j A party of men have been
prospecting for gold on Watauga
river and has offered Rev. Bill
ings, who lives near the river, a
fancy price for the farm but he
refuses to sell.
• It is reported that a railroad
route is being surveyed from
Wilkesboro through Cook's Gap.
i The people through the Wa
tauga Democrat, are discussing
good roads, and doubtless a meas
| ure will be taken in the Legisla
i ture to have an extra road law
in this section.
The splendid water power of
Watauga causes people to think
of putting in dynamos for the
purpose of furnishing the towns
with electric lights. Mr. L. D.
Lowe is planing to place one at
Banner Elk and Dr. J. W. Jones
hopes to carry out the same plan
in Boone.
The public school at this place
taught by Misses Bertha Eller
andSallie Ray has just closed.
Miss Eller will now teach the
Primary department of Appa
-1 lachian Training School.
McKinley Sigmon who has
been home on a two weeks visit
left Tuesday for Plumtree, N.C.,
where he will take up his work
in the Lee-Mcßae Institute.
The Ajisl Quartet appeared in
I the Academy of Music here last
Saturday night The talented
young ladies gave an excellent
entertainment and every mem
ber on the program was oncored.
The violin selections by Miss
Leavitt deserves special men
tion. She has perfect control of
the instruments, and her playing
was hartily enjoyed. Miss Samp
son's solo was a rare treat

Different Opinions on Cooper's Re
markable Success Held by Cincin
nati Medical Men.
-j, 1
Cincinnati, 0, Jan 30. —The astonish-
L ing sale of Cooper's preparations in
this city has now reached such immen
se figures that the medical fraternity
L at larwe have become faced into open
, 4 dicussion o( the man and his prepara
tions. - !
"* ■ .| * ' r
The physicians as a whole seem to
t be divided with repaid to the young
man's success in Cincinnati—some be
. ing willing, to caedit him for what he
' has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he-has aroused is bat
. a passing fad which cannot last, and
which mil die out as quickly as it has
sprung up. ■
' The opinion of these two factions is
; very well voiced in the statements
i made recently by two of a. number of
I phosieians "who were interviewed on
the subject.
Dr. J. E. Carass when questioned
i about the mattee said: "I have not
i bee a believer in propritary prepa
rations heretofore nor can I say that I
► believe in them at present.
• But I must admit that some of the
facts recently brought to my notice
i concerning this man Cooper have gone
, far towards rhmoving the prejudice I
had formed against him when the un
heard of demand for the preparations
j first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of my patients whom I have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
, troubles have met me after taking
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positivel that he has accomplished
x I wonderful results for them. I hoHce

-teases oi yean -standing that proved
L very obstinate in treatment."
"I am the last man on earth to
r stand in the way of anything that may
i prove for the public good simply
- though professional prejudice, and
lam inclined lo give Cooper and his
, preperations credit as deserving th
r some extent the popular demonstm
. tion that has peen accorded them in
. this city."
\ ■ Anotbdr well known physician who
: was seen took the opposite view osthe
[ "Cooper-mania," as he calls st which
i now has this city in its grip. He said:
"I can only liken the present stote of
i affwirs to acertain kind of hallucination,
j For what of a better name I might
I call it "Cooper»mania." The people
of Cincinnati seem to be firm in the
belief that this man Cooper has health
I corked up in a bottle,"
t "Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them of various ills
[ judging from their statements. It is
beyond me to say why the city has
t gone crazy over the man. It may be
* safely put down, I think, to one of the
. passing fads that so often attack the
American public."
"Sooner or later the people are
g bsund to regain their senses and will
then realize the reputable physician
j is the one to whom their health had
best be entrusted."
K In the meantime Cooper meets sev
enl thousand people daily, and only
3 smiles when statements of the above
e character are quoted to him. His
charitable work still continues to be
very extensive.
