THE OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER,- FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905. 0F CA ' I suffered for a long time cJU of Catarrh, and took a great deal of medicine without any benefit. I had a continual headache, my cheeks bad grown purple, my nose was always stopped up, my breathhad as.ckemngand disgusting odor, and I coughed incessantly I heard of your S. S. S. and wrote you. I commenced to use it, and after taking several bottles I was cured and have never since had the slightest symptom of the disease. Miss Mary L. Storm. Cor. 7th & Felix Sts., St. Joseph, Mo. Wheeling, V. Va., May 29, 1903 I had Nasal Catarrh for years for which I used S. S. S. with very gratifying results. I tried local applications for some time, and getting no permanent relief I came to the conclusion that the seat of the trouble was in the blood. Knowing S. S. S. to be a good blood medicine I began its use, and after using it for some little while it did away entirely with the offensive mu cus in the nostrils, and I did not have to hawk and spit, especially in the morning, to dislodge the catarrhal matter. 1627 South St. Fred H.

The old idea of fate or "kismet," and that a person al ways dies when his time comes, is now exploded. Every mechanism, wheth er made by God or man, has a definite amount of wear and its life can be lengthened or 1 shortened accord ing to the care that is given it.

An imitation of nature's method of re storing waste of tissue and impoverish ment of the blood and nervous force is used when you take an alterative extract of herbs and roots, without the use of alco hol, like Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. This vegetable medicine coaxes the digestive functions and helDS in the assimilation of food, or rather enables the organs to take from the food just the nutriment the blood requires. Hon. John E. Suitt, Registrar of Deeds, Court Bouse, Durham, N. C, writes: "We have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in our family, and have known of some of our neighbors using it. We have always found it to do all that is claimed for it, and feel confident that it is a splendid remedy." Mrs. Bettie Mill, of Cotton, N.

Editor Fiee Pros: The cotton sit nation is a serious one, and although some of our citizens are acting foolish Iv, still it behooes every farmer to in form hiniseh, to the end that we may all think together, stand together ana aei together. We are till very sure now that Doli tics does not effect the price of cotton and that the la w of supply and de inand more than any otner thing raises or lowers the prices. 1 am not a prophet or the son of a prophet, but let us come and reason together for a few minutes about the tobacco sit nation. We who raises tobacco have only to view the situation calmly to see thai the low prices and burning we had to tiie in ll03 was only diuiul warning n compaiison to what 1905 has in rore for the tobacco farmers in the event we increase the acreage above that ot 1904. 1st. The 1904 crop was icknowle. 2ed by all (and rightly so), to be a short one when compared with the two previous crops of 1902 and 1903, and prices have not been high on this crop at any time during the season and lor the last sixty das prices have steadily declined Iroin the moiiL tains to the teahore and we have only to thank the small, jnue pendent buyers for preventing the re petition of low prices ot 1903. The two big companies know as th trust, controlling 90 to 95 per cent, ot the tobacco interests of the world, are working night and dav for the other 10 per cent., don't hesitate to tell us by acts and words that they are badly over stocked. All of their mammoth storage warehouses are full end in some cases they have it piled up on the outside. If the trust had wanted as to plant more or just the same in 1905 as 1904 they would have kept prices fairly good ana in this way encourged us to plant, but, on the contrary prices have been lower and lower, and ought to be sufficient warning. We may carry our big crop of tobacco to market in the summer end fall of 1 905 and barely realize enough for curing and market ing. It will do no good to curse the trust then, for tbey will laugh and saj "Did we not warn you by word and ac tion? Y ou remind us of a herd of Texas cattle looking no further than you jump. Goto, we have no sympathy foryou." Zsovv brother farmer, look at the many wrecks that lie in the path of the trusts, and know that they know not sympathy or pity in their onward march of selfishness and greed. We are not prepared for another 1903 and besides let me tell you something: We buy our fertilizers from the trust and pay 'i 50 to S3 per ton more t nan we ptid in 1903 Everything especial I y labor a id supplies are proportion ately higher than in 1903. We can"t afford to begin on a big scale, for it would simply mean hiring oneself out for victuals and clothes, with the un derstanding that he make his own something to eat and wear old clothes. The tobaeco farmer holds the key to the situation ana the only thing needful is for alt of us to open our eyes to the facts and look them squarely in the face. But if we raise more tobac co than can be consumed the trusts then have the key to the situation and they don't fail to use it. Can we meet the situation? Yes, we can and "we must or the tobacco culture of this and adjoining states will be a failure and can be pointed at as the surest road to poverty It we cannot organ ize we must inform ourselves and when we go to buy fertilizers from the trust don't buy much, and pay cash for that. if possible. Don't have much high-priced labor. Have a big corn and pea field, a big potato patch, a big g round pea patch and raise some cane, but for sorghum only. Raise some cotton and have a small tobacco patch, manure it well work it well and keep the worms and suckers off. Attend to the cattle and keep the ticks of! them. Give close atten tion to the hog- and poultry and raise plenty of them Then if there is a spare day let the children rest and all go fishing, for it is far better to do this an get g od pay for what we make than to riise more thau can be consumed and not get cost of it. Two acres of to bacco at $200 per acre is worth far more than 10 acres at 50 per acre. Here are propositions lor 15-05 almost as certain as death. First, a small erox of tobacco, an acreage not exceed ing 1904. well cultivated an well hand led will hrii g prosperity, prices rang ing possibly all the way from 100 to $350 per acre bringing the country out of debt, with gooa times all about us. lhe second proposition is, a fairly big crop, from 15 per cent, to 30 per cent, increase all over the State would mean fairly good prices for good crops of tobacco. A few farmers would get probably the cost of production with a mighty big j ell of over production Irom the trust every time a kick comes at low prices. The third and awful proposition to contemplate is a big crop, say oO to 50 per cent increase in acreage over the State. All of us can fee what this would mean. Prices from 2 to 4 per hundred. Then the fertilizer man the horse man, the mer chant and in some cases the sheriff would all be watching to' see who could get the little check first when their customers Fell. The farmer puts on a long face when he starts to mar ket and increases the length when he starts home with no sugar, no coffee, and in some cases no biscuit. Then there will be several things to do, to wit : Swear off ana cuss the ad ministration, cuss the trusts and every thing in the road that reminds one of tobacco. All this will be true and it will then be too late to shut the stable door after the horse has been stolen. So brother farmer, think well and acj wisely; and let us beg of you after you have read these few lines of ac vice, put your paper away and take care of it, for on or about September 1st, 1905, 1 want you to get this out and read it carefully again.

Short Accounts of the Proceedings of the Legislature. Nothing during this session of the Legislature has caused so much ta'k as action in passing a bill to repay Treasurer Lacy for the money stolen from him by clerk W. H. Martin and the quick undoing ot what has been done. Both Democrats and Repub licans are doing no end ot ta king about the matter. Great satisfaction is expressed by merchants at the news that the Mer chants Purchase Tax will not appear in the next revenue act. t he prediction that there would be a compromise as to a divorce law provestobe a good one. The act of 1883 is to be agan placed upon the statute with the addi'on of divorces for bar barrious treatment of a wife, in cases where she aud her husband had inov ed to anothe'r state, a particular case is to be reached by this provision. Abandonment is to he another cause for divorce. State Auditor Dixon was interview ed regarding pension matters and said ne had no doubt the bill increasing the pension appropriation to S297.000 would, pass, this enabling 4th class pensioners and widows to receive $20 a year, who now only get $14. He says there seems to be no oppositon to the increase. The first pension law in North Carolina of a general character was enacted in 1885, the appropration then being 85,000. Tbe number of pensioners has since then steadily in creased and has now reached 13 000. Auditor Dixon says he does not believe there will in the future be much in crease, owing to the iarere number of deaths. There are a great many more death reported this year thau at any previous year, the number in fact be lag almost double. State Auditor Dixon expresses satis faction at the action of the committee in deciding to recommend the repeal of the Merchants Purchase tax, which yielded last year about $35,000. Th-re has always been strong sentiment against this tax, which most merchants consider a double tax. The auditor cannot say whether the bill to repeal thus recommended by the committee will pass or not. So far no other spe cial changes have been recommended as to the revenue law by the commit tee on finaces, except one requirng solicitors to sue persons who failed to pay the inheritance tax. The present law requires the auditor to employ at torneys to do this and it is costly busi ness.as out of 2 100 collected $700 had to go as fees. The bill of Judge Graham, of Gran ville.to amend the law of challenges in criminal cases, changing this from 23 for defendant and 4 for the State, to 10 for each was finally amended at ti e suggestion of Mr. Feimster to 10 chal lenges for the defendant and 4 for the State, the right of the State to place names at the foot of the panel being taken away. It is claimed that by this large venires need not be called and that money will be saved. The amendment of Mr.Feimster was accept ed and a favorable report was ordered. The matter of crimes and hearii gs in court was fully discussed by the House Judiciary Committee. After much had been said pro and con, and by a close vote, this of 9 to 8, the bill providing that in criminal cases where new evidence was discovered a new trial be allowed by the Supreme Court was ordered reported favorably. Mr. Graham, of Granville,antagoniz d the bill declaring it ought not to pass, that the legislative branch of the gov ernment could not make this direction to the judicial branch. Messrs Rob erson. of Guilford, and Ehringhaus of Pasqmotank, favored Jthe bill, whi'e Mr. Foimster, of Catawba, thought that criminals had enough rights now. The vote stood 8 to 8 until Mr. Mc nnch, of Mecklenburg, voted in tavor of the bill saying he reserved the right to oppose it on the floor of the House. The committee on railways agreed to favorably report a bill imposing S50 penalty upon railways when they fail to promptly pay for lost freight also to report favorably a bill forbiding them from moving freight cars on Sun day, other toan those carrying perish able property, thus amending the law enacted four years ago. A bill passed the House amending the act of 1899, abolishing the three days of grace, and making negotiable paper laws uniform. Another bill passed relieves county commissioners in regard to verification of claims, and making certain of their acts misde raeaners. The Senate took up the bill regula tine: judiciary salaries. increasing them to 3 500 and repealing the act allow ing Superior Court Judges 1250 for ex penses, and passed after a prolonged debate by a vote ot 23 ro 24.

It covers about two miles of country and et in all that space only 43 people could be found. It was an issue in the last campaign, and thu voters demand J the repeal of its charter. Monday the sub committee of the House and Senate met to consider school legislation, and will first consid er the recommendations in the report of State Superintendent .loyner, the most important -of these being in re gard to terms of office of boards of ed ucation in the various counties, which are now changed every two years, the recommendatoin being that the terms being fixed at 2, 4 and 6 years. The other chief recommendations beine the better organization of the teach ers7 institute work The Legislature wlil not be asked to appropriate more than 100,000 now given to keep the public schools oped four months in the year. As yet twelve counties rave not sent in their application for aid from this fund, but the applications are numerous and it is quite evident that the entire hundred thousand dol ars and more too will be asked for. There is some opposition to the appro priation of this money, which among sehool men is known as "the second hundred thousand dollars" but it is the only way on earth to keep the public schools open durine the time the constitution requires. lhe Dill relating to pensions, intro duced by Mr. Warren, of Jones, is in tendea to reach a phase of the law de nying pensions to those who have over 8500 of taxable property.

The death anget entered the home of James Daisy Fleming on Tuesday morning Jan. 3rd, 1905, and took from it his own precious wife, only a happy bride of four weeks. She was sick oni two weeks wtib measles and thought she had tully recovered from the at tack and left her room, and then took relaps. She was unconscious until she entered the haven of rest. Oh it w is so bard to give up our darling Sarah, she was so youner and had just started out in life.so happy with her husband in her new found happiness and then was plucked from earth toHeaven and now while it seems so strange that sh was taken from as so early, e can't understand.- She gave her heart to God several years a go, and united with Concord Baptist church in which st e lived a very pious life, she loved her church and Sunday school and was faithful to the end. None knew her but to love her, none spoke of her but to praise her. No joy for us dear one, 2s ow that you are missing from around our fireside, All is sad with our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today. Hard we strove to keep thee with u , But love and skill were all in vaiti, Death has laid our darling one JNeath the urave yards sod away While it is a very sad death it is a hap py death We shall all sometime if we are faithful, meet dear Sarah in that beautiful home in Heaven.
