The merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is literally written in blood.
It is traced in the vital fluid
Of millions of the human race.
Its positive medicinal merit
And curative power is written
Upon the hearts, and graven upon
J lie minds ot thousands
Of people whom it has cured
And given good health
When there seemed nothing liefore
Them but darkness and despair.
It cures all diseases arising
From or promoted by impure
lilt km! by its intrinsic merit as
The One True Ulood Tuiilicr.
The Southern lUilway is having
built at the Pullman car works.
three of the handsomest trains that
that company can build. The cais
when hnibhed will be pure white
with gold border. They will t
run as the Southern's Florida
Socials and will be ready for use
in time to catch the rlorida travel
next w inter. The schedule of these
trains will be the fastest iu the
South and the conveniences will be
second to nono.

boast that there are ten counties
in that State which do not owe a

Tillman on Trusts.
I'eoplo can say what they please
about Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, but ho usually says ex
actly what ho thinks (an accomplish
:mjnt that few people possess) and
that Bay is generally on the right
lino in favor of the masses and
against tlio few who control trusts,
lleeotitly he wrote tho New York
Journal as follows and those who
will road carefully what ho eays will
see that every word ho utters is truo:
Tho sinister influence of the sugar
trust over the senate isono that may
well excite tho uneasiness and angry
disgust of every liberty loving
American. With equal facility it
appears to control legislation in its
interest, no matter which party is in
power, and tho boldness with which
its president proclaims to monopolize
the market and fix tho price of sugar,
and the coolness with which he an
nounces the enormous profits which
havo accrued, makes the average
citizen wonder how much longer
tho American people will stand it.
Clupman goes to jail, although he
orders his meals from the Arling
ton and his cell is furnished most
luxuriantly, but Havemeyer, tho
sugar trust magnate, goes st ot free
under practically a similar charge.

Walks on the Water.
Tho Atlanta Constitution says
1'rofessor Robert Cook, a young
man about twenty five years of age,
who has invented a successful shoe
enabling a person to walk on water,
is in that city en route to 1 ittsburg,
where ho gtns to compete for a
novel wager of $1,000. Jle has bet
a man in lialtitnore that he can walk
down the Ohio river from Pittsburg
to Cineinnatti, a distance of 450
miles, in fifteen days. Ho will start
about the 14th of June, and is con
fident he will win his money.
Cook s contrivance, or water shoe,
is four teet long, six inches wide
and six inches deep. By a system
of flaps he is enabled to walk on the
water with the greatest ease without
danger of sinking. Ho has given
exhibitions all over the South, and
ms won for himself a world-wide
reputation by his wonderful feat.
Serious Results of the Earthquake.
A special from lioanoke savs :
The effect of the recent earthquake
is said to have been very demoraliz
ing on the people of (.ulea county,
many of whom are preparing to
make their homes elsewhere. Angel
Mountain is said to be badly cracked
and nearly all the water has been
drained out of Mountain lake. It
is also said that the salt wells at
Sahville, Sniythe county, have dried
up.

An exchange says that in an Irish
court recently an old man was called
into the witness box, and, being
old and a little blind, instead of
going up the stairs that led to tho
box, mounted those that led to the
bench. The judge took the mistake
good humoredly. "Is it a judge
you want to be, my good mani" he
said. "Ah, sure, your Honor, was
the reply, "I'm an ould man now,
and mebbe it's all I'm fit for."

HOW HE ESCAPED FROM A HORRIBLE
DEATH IN A RAILROAD
COLLISION.
He Crawled Into the Firebox, Was Skinned
Slightly, But Otherwise Was
Not Harmed.
Old Jerry Simpson, running on a
southern road, between Washington
and Richmond, never becomes tired
of telling how he received his first
"call" and tho lucky way ho pulled
through it. It was back in tho
seventies, when work on the rail
roads all over the country was ex
tremely Hat and thousands of men
were out of work.

the 1'ennsrlvania road, running out
of Philadelphia westward. I went
around to the ditiereut roads, asking
for work, and through frequent
visits to the Baldwin works had be
come quite well acquainted with the
foreman of the locomotive depart
ment. "Whenever a new engine is ship
jcd to a western road, a roliable man
is sent on the new locomotive to
protect it from tramps and other
vandals. It hapiieiied that ono ot
these engines, ordered for the Den
ver and Uio Grande road, had just
been completed, and tho foreman
put in agood word for me, especially
as none of the Baldwin people
hanker after this job. You can
gamble on it I jumped at the
chance,
"Twj days after being offered the
position the new engine and she
was a beauty was shifted into the
middle of the last western freight,
and we began our western journey.
We went over the Philadelphia and
middle divisions all right, but it
was on the Pittsburg division that
my first 'call' came off This division
takes in the Alleghany mountains,
and the tough places on it almost
equal those on the Iiocky moun
tains. "The engineer who handled tho
throttle on the engine ahead was
Billy Duncan, and I knew him well,
Ixith jK-rsonally and through reputa
tion. Ho was a feat less runner, and
would never jump from an engine,
no matter how close a place he got
into. Duncan invited me to ride
with him on the engine, but I de
clined, as I had chaige of that Uio
Grande engine, and waned to eo
her landed safely at her destination.
"So I went back to my charge
just a minute before we passed out
of the Altoona yards, and in a few
minutes had made myself comfort
able v ith a couple of blankets I had
brought along.
"The night was a dismal one, be
ing foggy, with just enough rain to
make it uncomfortable. I kept
awake for about an hour, and then
concluded to take a little snooze.
"About the time I got comfort
ably fixed and was dozing, with my
eyes balf shut, I was startled by a
loud, long piercing call for brakes
from the engineer. I knew Bill
Duncan would never have let out
such a blast as that unless in the
presence of great danger. Quickly
throwing off the blankets that
covered me, I jumped op and peered
out through the darkness. We were
going down the grade on the west
side of Horseshoe curve, and cutting
the foggy mist at the rate of forty
miles an hour.
"About fifty yards ahead of Bill's
engine were the red lights of a
caboose, and t ben I knew the flag
man bad not come back far enough
to stop us on the wet rails. A run
in was sore. There was not much
chance for me to jump, as it was
infernsliy dark, and I knew there
was a bit h cliff close to the track on
one side that would burl me back
onder the w heels, and a precipice
on tho other steep enough to break
every bone in my body if I onco
started to roll down its steep sides.
"About that time I thought of
j praying, and was on tne poini or
uropping to my KncoB aim proying
to bo forgiven for my past sms wiien
I luckily thought of tho Drebox ol
the new engine 1 had in charge, and
ae quick as thought I threw open
the door and crawled in. 1 had
just landed on my knees on tho grato
bars when there came an awiui
crash, such as I never heard in my
lite beforo, and I felt my engine
going np and then down, and the
sickening sensation ot tiioso lew
seconds were paralyzing. 1 was
tumbled about pretty roughly, and
had the skin knocked o(T my legs
and my head cnt, but nothing could
crush me, tor I was in an iron safe
that was well buil', although it was
never intended for a life-preserver,
I thought once, however, that it was
all np with me, lor 1 felt the boiler
collapsing under tho weight of tho
loaded cars that wetc piling up on
top of it.
"After a while everything was
still, and. knowing that the worst
was over, unless tho wreckage took

tire and roa&ted me alive, I made an
effort to crawl out, but could not do
bo, as car trucks and frames were
piled above the wreck. I thought
it was a month until the w.-eeking
crew came, snd then I began to cry
out like a crazy man and implore
help. Tho wreckers must have
thought I was pinned down by the
engine, with my legs crushed, for
they gave all their attention to me,
snd after hard work, got me out,
and beyond the biuises already
mentioned, I was as sound as before
the wreck.
"Poor old Billy, the engineer,
kept up his reputation to the last by
refusing to jump, and was smashed
into jelly under his engine, as were
also his fireman and two trauis
riding in a box car next my engine.
That was my first 'call,' snd it was
a close one, but the firebox saved
my life, and I have never hcaid of
another man pulling through a
wreck in the same manner. My
second 'call' has uot come yet, and
I m not anxious tor if, 1 can tell
you." Chicago Inter Ocean.
Honest Christians.
The man who is not just as hon
est in trading as he is praying is
not a Christian. It is not impos
sible to 13 a sinner in business and
a saint in religion. The thief in
the board of trade is a hypocrite in
tho Church. We do not believe
that all successful business men are
diahonest. It is satiefactioii to be
lieve that in every department of
trade and commerce there are men
whose principles are as pure as gold.
There are merchants, bankers, me
chanics, farmers, and professional
men everywhere, who live as up
right in their btinititss transaction
as they do in their domestic rela
tions. There are men ho would
prefer poverty to ill gotten wealth.
Granttd that a man might gain
money by lying, what kind of a
reward is it after all! Riches gained
at the exiiense of conscience are
like corroding acids: they rat away
the foundation of life and leave
their poaes..r poor indeed. It
never pays to lie. It matters riot
what the motive may be, the loss is
always greater thin the gain. Ex
emption frutn punis'imtnt or dis
grace is a poor compensation for a
tarnished conscience. Mafses of
wealth have no power to confer
lasting joys. Title, wealth, learn
ing, honor, and fame are trifles com
pared with a clean conscience.

A Good Word for the North Carolina Press.
There is one thing that can be
said ot well nigh all of the Nortli
Carolina newspapers, and particu
larly of the country weeklies. They
are to bo found, so far as we recall,
always on the side of morality and
honesty. Many of thorn are man
aged by professors of religion who
are firm believers in the Christian
Scriptures. With but few excep
tions, as we recall the post, have
wo found any exchange taking a
doubtful or compromising position
on moral questions. It is certain
ly a hopeful sign in a materialistic,
sceptical age (and it is not confined
to the world but may bo found in
the churches) that tho secular news
papers of a commonwealth are not
the organs of immorality and infi
delity. It is a good sign also that
a newsnaocr of pronounced oppo
sition to Christianity and tho inspi
ration of tho Holy Bible, tho most
sacred of books and dear to most of
the homes in North Carolina, could
long live in the noble, conservative,
Bible reverencing state. It is bet
ter to love and reverence tho truth
without fi no human learning than
to possess that acquisition and tight
God nd His Truth. A state has
much to build on that honor. God
and whoso people are church going
and firmly fixed on tho side ot the
right, the true, tho good, tho hon
est, tho noble, the moral. A man's
brilliancy and fine attainments
amount to but little tor tho good
of humanity and tho upbuilding of
a state if ho has forgotten the God
of his fathers, lives for self and
treats with contempt tho Book of
books, (iod's own great gift to
man.
The North Carolina pitsa is but
little if any tainted with unright
eous principle and modern sccpti-
ism. He is a bold editor indeed
in North Carolina who would assail
the Holy Word, the foundation of
home and society and all civic pro
gress that means permanency, hon
or, glory, and who would stand
forth the organ of immorality and
impiety. Some of the pajers,
through blinded partisanship, may
defend some bad man or condone
some vicious act or favor some
political principle that is oppressive
and ruinous, but they will not ad
vocate or defend as abstract prin
ciples dishonesty in business, lying
in every day life, gross indulgences,
cruelty to the helpless, wanton at
tacks upon tho Bible and so on.

Hires Rootbeer Cannot be Imitated. V
It is doubtful if any modern com
modity, except money, has been
counterfeited more than Hires Root-
beer. By progressive and costly
advertising this article has attained
a trade-mark peculiar to itself, and
its wide popularity and immense
sale is an irresittable attraction for
the unscrupulous imitator. Justice,
however, is beginning to realize
that tho public must be protected
from 8ucu practices as is evinecu
by the decision just rendered by
Judges Finletter and Gordon in
Philadelphia, Court ot Common
Pleas No. 3, restraining George A.
Hires, a namesake of Mr. Charles
E. Hires from manufacturing and
selling a prcpsration under the
name of Hires Rootbeer. This is
a move in the right direction, as
this superior article should not be
substituted by inferior stuff.
