Indeed, that it Is pure fiction, but for our purpose It la better than the truth because the truth cannot be rounded off and polished so nicely to suit one's conception of character, or of clrcum- stance." i For similar reasons lie wna Instant in praise" Of historical novils. 'A genius like Scott or- George Eliot specially in 'Romola, f be would any. nas many advantages over the plod ding ' historian and can, often arrive. by the intuition of genius, at truths which the 4 most' laborious research could never reveal, and. on the whoh-,' he would add, "historical fiction Is much more trustworthy arid Ineomrut rably more respectable than fictitious history."

Dear 8ih: I am a great sufferer from severe nervous headache, and find in Cap vmxm speedy relief. Also when feeling nervous and all broken up, a dose sets me all right. I take pleasure in recom mending It as a thoroughly satisfactory nedy. Sincerely, fidenca not only in the Integrity but the business sagacity of Mr, McDaniel, and that It was good business policy to pay Mr. McDaniel such salary as would Justify him In devoting his entire time to the business and that with him In charge there would be no question of tbe suc cess of the enterprise. ,wiMV'y:v;;- Mr. Grainger's remarks were well re ceived and applauded by all. 1 Mr. McDaniel In a sensible and proper spirit stated X that be appreciated the expressions ot confidence in and good will toward himself. He said he was more interested! in the success of the en terprise than In having the office as sug gested. . He believed tbe enterprise could be made to pay and to pay well with proper management, and that he did not want to in any manner stand in tbe way of the success of the enterprise. If the directors could find anyone else at home or abroad m .their judgment .better qualified for the position he did not wish them for one moment to besitate over the matter, but to employ that sort of man; or if he and the directors could not agree, and at any time the directors thought It best for ths enterprise to get someone else in his place he would gladly Mas.

Everybody agrees that such an enter prise even half-way properly managed should be one of the most profitable in dustriea In Klnston. The trouble arose from starting out with insufficient capital, combined with poor management; Un der Mr. McDaniel's recent management, with no capital, a good profit has been earned and If the company is allowed to ! run on It would in all probability work outitaxiwtt salvation- With the sale - of ths preferred stock success is as near cer tain as anything well can be, because most of tbe products of tbe plant find ready market right at home, and at profitable prices. - " - - It is not only philanthropic and patri otic to rehabilitate this business, bat a mighty good investment for the new stockholders. At bankrupt prices the plant-Inventories over f 3,000 more than liabilities. 8o the new stockholders have at least this much advantage over what they would have if they were going to establish a new plant. The new stock Is preferred. It not only earns 7 per cent. guaranteed dividends but when the earnings bring tbe old stock np to par value, the new stockholders participate equally with the old In any increased earnings of the common stockholders above 7 per cent. , - . ( -; The Fan Pkess believes the Invest ment is not only a reasonably safe one but oa-Tthat is likely to i prove very profitable. Tbe soliciting committee to secure more subscriptions to preferred stock think it possible to get more than $6,000, and until the amount of 10,000 is reached voluntary subscriptions will be thank fully received by any member of tbe com mlttee.

Uncomfortable consequences may fol low the use of the best of water by persona who ore not accustomed to It as we fill know from experience In changing our usual daily beverage.
