The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease nrftvailino fn ' thi
country most dangerous because so decep-
u ve. M any sudden
deaths are caused by
it heart disease,
pneumonia, heart
failure or apoplexy
rare often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the
kidney-poisoned
blood will attack the
vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the .kidneys. If you are feeling , badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain In passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sizea bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of ,

covery and a book that

TEE GREAT STEAWBEREY CROP.
Our truckers, we are glad to say,
have thus far had a quite prosper
ous season. Just here it may be
said that a great many people in
Central and Western Carolina have
not yet woke up to the fact , that
trucking in the East is a great big in
dustry. For the benefit of these
people, we present this item from
the Wilmington Messenger, showing
the amount received by Eastern
truckers for strawberries alone.
Says the Messenger :
"It is expected that this week will
mark practically the close of the
strawberry season in this section, at
least so far as profitable shipment in
large quantities to Northern and
Eastern markets is concerned. A
gentleman prominently connected
with the Fruit Growers' Express, by
which such an admirable refrigerated
car service is being given, says that,
in his opinion, 98 per cent, of the
crop has already been moved. And,
too, it is gratifying to repeat the
statement previously made in the
Messenger that the crop has been
moved at prices which have made
the crop very profitable to the grow
ers. It is safe to estimate that an
average price of certainly not less
than 10 cents per quart has been re
ceived for the crop thus far. So
that the amount of money which has
been distributed along this section
of the Wilmington and Weldon and
the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroads
assumes enormous proportions, when
the authoritative statement is made
that about 1,000 carloads or 9,280,000
quarts of berries have been moved
by the Fruit Growers Express Com
pany alone. Then the Southern Ex
press Company has moved about 60,
000 crates, or 1,920,000 quarts. This
gives a grand total of 11,200,000
quarts of strawberries.
"Estimating that an average price
10 cents per quart has been received
it will give a total of $1,120,000,
which has been received for the ber
ries marketed thus far."
TOBACCO COMMITTEES MEET.
The Executive Committee and the
Committee on Plans of the North
Carolina Tobacco Growers' Associa
tion met in this city last Thursday.
Secretary T. B. Parker had reports
from tho various county organiza
tions showing very, gratifying prog
ress of tho Association in the State.
He also read letters from adjoining
States showing great interest in the
movement.
Reports from the counties in this
State show great activity and that
most of the tobacco-growing coun
ties in this State are being satisfac
torily organized ; though a few that
seemingly do not understand the
Jordan plan have not shown the ac
tivity that was hoped for.
The committee thinks best to push
organization, until it shall cover
each and every townip in the
tobacco belt. The Jordan and several
other plans were discussed by the
committee, which still have them
under consideration. From informa
tion in the hands of the committee
'they are satisfied that by thorough
organization they have the key to
the situation and can accomplish the
purposes of the association. Upon
the whole, the outlook is most en
couraging. Great and deep interest is being
taken in the action of this associa
tion by capitalists and manufactur
ers, and ample capital is offered to
back the various plans of the associa
tion. . . ;.

It is not so long ago that any stock
article, however much of worth and

elegance of design In other words
it had no style. Fortunately all this
is now past. The article of moderate
cost has a character and finish that
could not be had a few years ago ex
