I1! The crucial epoch
SSll of a woman's life
"4 is the change from
t V0V. maidenhood to
f S Tj-NtiiJ won:, nhood. It
S.T e'V'VrH involves the whole
i'V ' J.U bodv and manifests
k'T VJ-?" itseli in the nerv
ous disposition at this time.
Nervous or sick women are afforded the
opportunity of a lifetime, for the makers
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription r.ow
offer $500 reward for women who cannot
be cured. Backed up by over a third of a
century of remarkable and uniform cures,
a record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription now feel fully war
ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money
of the United States for any case of I,eu
corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or
Falling of the Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable
trial of their means of cure.
Mrs. W. T. Mappin, of 134 Straton Street (So.
Macon), Macon, Ga., writes: "I will trv to let
yon know how thankful I anj to you for your
advice. I have taken eight bottles of your
Favorite Prescription and four of ' Golden
Medical Discovery.' When I hegan taking your
medicine I had given up ; had been in bad
health for almost five years and had been
treated by the best doctors in Macon. They
all said I had womb and ovarian trouble. I
suffered untold agony every month and often
wished that I could die.
"I am still taking your medicine. I know
that your medicine has saved my life and I can
never praise it enough. Words cannot express
my gratitude. I will never forget your kind
advice."
As a tonic for women who are nervous,
eleepless, worn-out and run-down, "Fa
vorite Prescription" is unequaled.
For constipation, the true, scientific cure
is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Mild,
harmless, yet sure. No other pill can
compare with them.
The President mtjiht just as well
recognize that the "'protected hon" Is
bound toy-fit "his feet In the trough,"
It Is the nature of the beast, and the
removal of the protection Is the only
r-ure.

JAPAN NAMES HER TERMS OF
PEACE.
Dispatches sent out from Washing
ton state that Japan has made
made known her terms of peace and
that they are such that Russia will
not accept them.
The following Is said to be the sub
stance of what Japan will Insist
upon:
They include the payment of a
la rue monetary ldemnlty, the cession
to Japan of Port Arthur and Dalny
and of the island of Sakhalin, the
ivcoirnltlon of Japanese protectorate
over Oorea, the abandonment by
Kussla of all claims to superior r'.nhts
In Manchuria and the relinquishment
of control of the Trans-Manchurlan
Kullroad. It Is understood that the
Japanese demands do not at present
call for the cession of Vladivostock;
so that If they should be accepted by
IUise-ia that power would still have
an outlet by way of the Trans- Sibe
rian Railroad on the Pacific Ocean.
EQUAL TO ANY STATE.
In spite of the fact that the state
ment Is made sometimes that South
ern men have not the qualities of
leadership and statesmanship to a
hiirh decree it Is certain that there Is
nothing In the record of our con
gressional delegation that would call
for an apoloyy on the part of any
North Carolinian. Our members of
Congress are certainly attracting
more attention not only In this sec
tion but in other parts of the coun
try. Winston Sentinel.
This Is certainly so, and we should
keep every one there until there Is
some y jod reason to change. For a
lony time It was the custom In North
Carolina and other southern states
to change representatives every term,
or every two terms anyhow and the
result was that no man remained a
member lonjc enough to secure that
Influence and experience which is so
necessary to make a congressman
useful to his constituents. We were al
ways represented by green men, and
no matter how much capacity they
had, they could not measure up with
the old experienced members from
the Northern and Western States
who had been there term after terra,
and had become proficient In the
"tricks of the trade." North Caroll
llna has a splendid delegation in the
national Congress, and they have
been there long enough to become
useful members and our representa
tion will be hurt when there is a
change Wilmington Messenger.
A BENEFCIENT WORK.
As we have had occcasion hereto
fore to remark, one of the most ben
eficial organizations 1n this State Is
the North Carolina Children's Home
Society, with Its headquarters In
Greensboro, with Col. W. II. Osborn
president and Mr. Wm. IJ. Street r
State superintendent. The society
held Its annual meeting in Greens
boro last week and these ofiicersand
others were re-elected. The mission
of the society la to look up and place
In suitable homes ornhan or other
wise unprovided for children, and
The Record says the report of the
secretary to the meeting last week
f the work of the society since Sep
tember 15, 1!)0.., the date when the
work was begun, makes the follow
ing showing:
"Children received, VJ; children

"During the year 54 new children

port of the cause. It may b.e Interest
ing to note that S720 was cnllctwi

lection boxes. The 'society has been
able to answer the call of every child

left unprovided for on account of In
ability to secure a home. The young
est child received was three weeks
old and the oldest a girl of sixteen."
Hue Task.
It was a huge task, to undertake the
cure of such a bad case of kidney
disease, as that of C. F. Collier, ol
tJherokee, la., but Electric Bitters
did it. He writes "Mv kidneys were
jo tar gone, I could not sit on a chair
without a cushion: and suffered from
dreadful backache, and depression.

a cure, and by them was restored to

THE PARDONING QUESTION
In addition to the usual press for
pardons and computations of sen
tences of criminals already In the
State prison, and these applications
are always numerous, there are at
present before Gov. Glenn applica
tions for the commutation of three
or four men convicted of murder. The
hearing and determining of these
matters Is a very trying ordeal for a
kind hearted man. and the Governor
deserves sympathy: but he should
not except in very rare and extreme
cases, feel called on to overrule the
courts. All lmportantcrlmlnal cases
are taken to the Supreme Court, and
after that court has passed on a case
the Governor should not be r quired
to go over the case and determine
facts that have already been deter
mined by due process of law says the
Statesvllle Landmark. If the Gov
ernor would make It a rule to refuse
all applications unless It can be
shown beyond the shadow of doubt
that there is something new In the
case that was not befoivthe court,he
would serve the ends of justice and
escape ordeals that are exceeding y
trying: and in cases where there Is
new evidence let the matter go back
to the court for a rehearing. The
Governor has no business usurping
,:,.. f5ir, vtht, he has
received notice of no less than five
applications for pardon In capital
cases. The fact is this pardon busi
ness Is growing heavier and heavier
and Is an intense strain upon the
Governor. In some States there la a
pardoning board, while here the Gov
ernor has nobody to talk to about
pardons, but must act alone and
take the whole responsibility. As Is
his wont, he is meeting the situation
bravely. An application was made
to the Governor for a pardon
for a man who Is serving four months
for unlawfully selling whiskey. There
was no pretense even that he had
not been guilty of the crime, but the
application was upon the ground
that a lot of people who had done
the same thing had not been punish
ed and so this man ought not to be
held. This did not go worth a cent
with the Governor, and the gentle
man will serve out his time. It takes
mighty good evidence in such a case
as this to Induce the Governor to act
favorably.
THE PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE.
Below are two items from Web
sters Weekly on two homicides re
cently committed In this States. As
to Crump's case, the difficulty with
him is that he has not enough
friends of. Influence In the county to
secure a jury which will say that the
shooting a man in the back Is an act
of self defense when It Is shown
that the person shot had made
threats against the life of the assas
sin says Wilmington Messenger.
As to the Whites the mistake they
made was In thinking that because
of the charge brought against Sher
rill, whether true or not, public sen
timent would justify them In killing
him, and again, Sherrill being dead
there was no way of refuting the
charge made against him by the girl
and the fact that they killed the man
because of this charge would to some
extent shield the reputation of the
girl; but before the trial was held
they found that public sentiment was
not such as they expected It to be
and they were afraid to rely upon It,
so they had recourse to the absured
plea of self defense In the effort to
strengthen their case:
The Irrepressible paragrapher of
the Durham Herald sarcastically
suggests that the negro Crump, who
waylaid and shot Grubb might show
that G rubb had made threats against
him. At this distance It looks as If
Crump ought to have as much right
to shoot Grubb on sight as (Jrubb
had to shoot Davis In the back.
Had the Whites, who slew young
Sherrill, whom they charged with
the seduction of their niece, plead
guilty and thrown themselves on the
mercy of the governor saying they
went to SherrlU's house determined
to make him marry the wronged girl
or take his life, public sentiment
would have saved them from serious
punishment. Instead of doing so,
they set up a plea of self defense in It,
and when the Whites eet up this plea
they discredited themselves as pro
tectors of female vlrture and ceased
to be heroes In the public eye. Gen
tlemen should be sure that they are
right before they go out to kill, and
when they have accomplished their
purpose they should not fall back on
the plea of self defense.
Cuban Diarrhoea.
U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than so
limeh water. Cuban diarrhoea is al
most as severe arid dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended uron as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs of Houston Texas: "1 hereby
certify that Chamberlains Colic, Choi
era and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my
husband of a severe attack of Cuban
diarrhoea, which he brought home
from Cuba. We had several doctors
but they did him no good. One bottle
of this remedy cured him, as onr
neighbors will testify. 1 thank God

Charlotte special to Raleigh Post:
Although only 5 mouths have elapsed
since prohibition went into effect the
administration has reached the bot
tom of the purse, and the mayor lias
just been authorized to borrow $50,
000 to meet current expenses. The
last Legislature reduced the poll tax
and this fact, together with missing
revenue from IS saloons, serves to
somewhat cloud the financial situa
tion. The city Is already straining
under a heavy bonded Indebtedness,
and no one has any theory to offer as
to a way out of the trouble.
This tendency on the part of some
southern men to "slop over" with
the seeming intention of receiving
praise from northern sources is one
that does them little credit. A man
of good sense can attract attention
without making himself ridiculous
In this way. If some of our "over
smart" educators would spend half
the time In helping to correct the de
ficiencies of the southern people that
they spend in telling northern audi
ences about such deficiencies the re
sult would lie encouraging to say
the least. Winston Sentinel.

CHANGES IN FARM LIFE.
Farming, In some shape, was the
b ginning of human labor, a thefar:
mer wag tfce pioneer of humanlndus
trlallsm. If we take the Mosaic ac
count we lea rn that when God t reated
Adam He took the man and put him
Into the Garden of Eden to drese It
and keep It." If we adopt that ac
count of the beginning of human We
on earth we are bound to. admit
that the first man of earth's
population adopted In some degree
and fashion the occupation of the
earth, and from that day to this
there has been no more noble occupa
tion. How widely differently the life of
the farmers now In this country from
what It was a century ago! Then It
was a life of hard work and Isolation.
There were no labor-saving devices
for him then. Almost every other
hi man Industry had begun to
r sallze the benefits of machines which
would to some extent lighten and ex
pedite the labor of human hand
and take from human shoulders many
of the burdens of toll, but It was not
so with the farmer. He used the
same old style of plows and hoes
that come down to him through cen
turies. He sowed and reaped his
grain In the same way that his ances
tors did, and so all through his work
he tolled with rude tools, rarely find
ing rest time, and knowing nothing
of the advantages of machine work.
All that has changed oris fast chang
ing, and the time has come w hen every
prosperous and progressive farmer
can make iron and steel and wood
largely do the work of human hands
and take place of human bone and
muscle.
Not less notable Is the change In the
farmer's environment. Even half a
century ago In most parts of the coun
try he and his family were cut off from
all human associations. If he went
to the nearest town or store It meant
the loss of a day. If he could get mall
matter once a week he was fortunate
and the farmer whocould obtain and
read a weekly news paper was an ad
vanced mortal. That; too, Is changed
for the better. Railroads and trolley
lines are reaching out Into the rural
districts. The country Is becoming-
dotted with towns and villages, the
telephones are pushing their way
across country and the rural delivery
system Is taking the mall to the
door of the farmer. In most sections
it is now easier to get a dally news,
paper regulary than It was to get
the weekly less than 50 years ago, and
the farmer and his family can now
get letters without making a day's
journey for them.
It was natural that all these chang
ed conditions should work a corres
ponding change In the nature and
habits of the rural population. In
stead of being an Isolated worker
with little opportunity fur associa
tion with his fellows, he is becoming
more social, better Informed, better
educated, and In most cases more
contented. He now has the oppor
tunity to keep in touch with human
ity, to know what Is going on and
to take part In the active life of his
kind. He is no longer a detached
atom, but an active member of anima
ted humanity, and can feel that he Is
of Importance In the busy world in
stead of lielng a living and breathing
mummy. The life of the farmer has
many hard lines even now, but won
derful have been the changes and Im
provements within the memory of
man. Montgomery (Ala.) Adver
tiser. An Essay on Man.
Man Is a two legged animal that
chews tobacco and walks on forked
end. Mostmen are born; never heard
of but one that wasn t and he was
made of mud, just as a sample. Man's
life is full of disappointments, Peruna
and cob pipes. He goes fourth in the
moralng- like a Hon and leaves the
wood for his wife to chop, and In the
evening he sneaketh home with his
pants ripped and the heels gone, and
raises caln about hard times. He has
the grippe on road working days
and walks twenty miles to a circus.
He will chase a jack rabbit for four
miles through the snow, then borrow
a neighbor's horse to ride half a mile
to the postoftice. He will tell you just
what to do In case you have the
smallpox or yellow fever, then send
ten miles for a doctor when he takes
colic. Say a man Is greasy and dirty
and he gets on the prod, say he Is slick
and It pleases him. Man's days and
man's dollars are numbered and his
system is filled with gall.

Dragging Pains
2825 Keeley St.,
Chicago, Im.., Oct,, 2, 1902.
I suffered with falling and con
gestion of the womb, with severe
pains through the groins. 1 suf
fered terribly at the time of men
struation, had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
What to try I knew not, for it
seemed that I had tried ail and
failed, but I had never tried Wine
of Cardui, that blessed remedy for
sick women. I found it pleasant
to take and soon knew that 1 had
the right medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven bottles I
waR a well woman.
Mrs. Bush is now in perfect
health because she took Wine of
Cardui for menstrual disorders,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on the road to health.

special directions, address, giving
symptoms, "The Ladies' Advisory
