ONE YEARS-FIN ALLY FOUND RELIEF Having suffered for twenty-one years with a pain in my side, I finally have foqnd relief in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. Injections of morphine were my only relief for short periods of time. 1 became so sick that I had to undergo a surgical operation in New Orleans, which benefited me for two years. When the same pain came back one day 1 was so sick that I gave up hopes of living. A friend advised me to try your Swamp-Root and I at once commenced using ,it. The first bottle did me so much good that I purchased two more bottles. I am now on my second bottle and am feel ing like a new woman. I passed a gravel stone as large as a big red bean and several small ones. 1 have not had the feeling of pain since taking your Swamp-Boot and I feei it my duty to recommend this great medicine to all suffering humanity.

FIRSLFRESBYrERIAN CHURCH WHERE NORTH CAROLINA SYNOD WILL MEET NEXT TUESOA K ~ I , Hgj "IS TO BE COMMENDED" Editor The Democrat: The editorial in last week's Democrat in referenca to the Hickory write up in the Greens boro News and the omission of the schools and churches is to be commended. The schools of Hickoryhave become her most valuable asset and fromafinancial standpoint bring more money in to the town for the amount the tewn invests in them than any other institution. The churches contribute more than can be es timated to enhancing property and making the a place in which it i 9 worth while to live. i have just read with some de gree of care the proposed amen dents to the C institution which are to be voted upen next month and with your permission I de sire to say that the adoption, or rejections of these amendments in part or as a whole is a most important matter to our people and I fear that we are not giv ing them the consideration which their importance demands.

The story of what Catavta county farmers have done with their Co-operative Creamery, their Sweet Potato Growers' As sociation, their Farmers' Union Warehouse, and Co-operative Rural Credit Association, told by Richard H. Shuford, of Hickory, a member of the Graduate School cf the University last year, makes up the contents of Extension Series Bulletin No. 8, which was issued in a 5,000 edi tion in early July. Tr.ree points of - interests ap pear in this publication. The buiietin is typical of a new style of graduating or master's thesis required of University students, in some departments. Possibly more than 100 men last year made special investigations of local North Carolina industries and conditions. This story is especially interesting because it is the record of the first attempt on the part of the farmers of a North Carolina county to carry out simple eo-operative princi ples on a large, far reaching scale. The most significant fea ture —the third—is that the Uni versity is beginning in this way to reach the people back home with information which is fun damental to the correct econo mic and social development of the State. Since the bulletin has been is sued three very gratifying re quests have been received con cerning its employment. The first was that 50 copies should be placed in the hands of the leading farmers of Craven county to serve as the incentive and guide for similar activities in that county. This request came through a trustee of the University. The second was a similar request from Hertford. The third was different Re cently a county conference was held in Watauga. A definite or ganization was perfected for the economic and social devel opment of the county. A half dozen Carolina men are on the steering committee and are atj tempting to bring things to pass. They want this particular bulle tin in the hands of the farmers of the county for the double pur pose of giving -pecific informa tion and of showing the people that the University can be a direct power for good in every community in the county. Another fact worthy of con spicuous mention is that an alumnus trustee furnished the check which enabled the Bureau of Extension to print the 5,000 copies. Mt. Olive Evangelical Lutheran Church. Rev.

C , Oct. 17 The administration war revenue bill, levying apjroxirantely $lOO,- OOJ, ; V»0 adtional UXJS to meet the emergency caused by the i war in Euio;e, was passed by Senate ton ght 34 to 22 after Southern Democrats in coalition -vith Republicans of the senate, tough t to indefinitely postpone consideration of the measure be cause cotton relief legislation had been decisively defeated. Democratic leaders by a su preme effort in the climax of the cotton fight, gathered their forces, and, spurring them on with eloquent aopeals for party solidarity, defeated 32 to 25 the coalition in its move to indefinite ly postpone action. Senators Clark, of Arkansas, Smith of | South Carolina. Vardaman and V\ hite were the Democratic Sen ators who fought to the end, vot ing with the Republicans to postpone action. This would iav*» killed the bill for the pres ent session of Congress. Despite urgent pleas of Sena tors Williams, Stone, Shiyely and mil J arms, who demanded united Democratic support for a Democratic measure fostered by the administration, these five Southern Senators under a storm of oratorical denunciation, per sisted to the last in their deter mination that the bill should con tain some cotton relief provision. The enlivening contest that marked the passage of the bill foreshadowed the end of the long drawn out session of Con gress, which has kept flags fly ing over the capitol almost con tinuously for the past two years. The tax bill will go to the House • on Monday and will be sent to conference. Au agreement on the measure between the two Houses probably will be reached by the middle of next week. The vote on the revenue bill followed party lines witti one ex ception, Senator Lane, of Oregon, Democrat, voting against it. Immediately after: its passage, the Senate, on motion of Senator Simmons, in sisted upon its amendments and asked a conference with the House. Conferees named werei Senators Simmons, Williams, Stone, McCumber and Clark of Wyoming. Newspaper Best Investment. The address of former United States Senator Davis, of Illinois, contained quite a complimentary reference to the work of news papers. Among other things ha said: "Every year every local paper gives from 500 to 5(X)0 free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other agency can, or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means does more for his town than any other man. He ought to be supported, not because you like him or admire his writ ings, but because a local paper is the best investment a com* munity can make. It may not be crowded with great thought, but financially it is of more ben efit than both teacher and preacher. Today editors do more for le&s pay than any men on earth. Patronize your home paper, not as charity, but as an investment. Death el Child.
