Clergyman's Son's Testimo
nial of Tuberculosis Cure
To neglect a cold, bronchitis, lung
trouble or Consumption is dangerous.
"V'e sill know how prone people are
to deny they have Consumption. It
is a nattering disease, and the suf
ferer is filled with bright hopes of
improvement. Call Consumption by
its own dread name and then take
Kckman's Alterative, because it is
effective in Tuberculosis. No one
need doubt about it there is plenty
of evidence from live witnesses. In
vestigate the following:
Amenia, N. Y., July 9, 1909.
Gentlemen: Prior to Feb., 1908, I
was located in Rochester, N. Y., suf
fering with LaGrippe, which devel
oped into Tuberculosis. My physi
cian gave me one month to live. I
was having terrible night sweats and
mid-day chills and losing flesh rapid
ly, having gone from 155 to 136 lbs.
I coughed and raised continually and
became so weak that walking a few
feet exhausted me. On my return
I home, my regular physician gave me
little encouragement. My father, who
is a clergyman, heard of Eckraan's
Alterative and induced me to take it.
The night sweats and chills disap
peared, my cough became easier and
gradually diminished and in a few
days I developed an appetite, the first
in months. I am now in perfect
health, back to 155 lbs. I feel cer
tain that I owe my life to Eckman's
Alterative.

MISSION QF ELLEN KEY.
Eelieves Future of Womanhood Lies
in Enlightened Motherhood.
From Current Literature.
In this age of voluminous utter
ance concerning tbe nature, the des
tiny, the rights id the wrongs of
woman, there is no writer in Eu
rope whose opinions on the subject
are regarded wath such keen interest
as those of Ellen Key. Her position
on the woman question is unique, j
An ardent advocate of perfect free-
js i : -. : ii. r.
uom ior woman auxi uenevius
ail opportunities for the complete de-
velopment of her individuality
should be open to her, Ellen Key nev
ertheless refuses to identify herself
with the regular feminist movement,
or even with any part of it, the suf-
ii age movement, ior instance, one
believes the chief mission of future
womanhood lies in an enlightened mo
therhood. Woman's endeavor should
be not to become as much like Inan l
as possible but to develop to the i
in her by treeing herself from convic- -.
fullest extent the truly feminine j
tions and the moral shackles which 1
are of man's making and are unsuit- j
ed to woman's nature.
Woman is so different from man
that really few men understand her.
By being allowed to go her own way
and follow the rules of her being, wo
man will develop into something dif-
ferent from what she has ever been
before. The ideal woman of Ellen
Key's dream is foreshadowed in her
prose poem. "The Woman of the Fu-
ture." In these days to come, wo
man will be not more like man, but
luore unlike him. She will contribute
a larger amount and a better qual
ity of intellect to the world's men
tal storehouse than she does at pres
ent. But her special feminine serv
ice will be the refined and spontan
eous emotion which she will radiate
about her in the future. These attri
butes wSll enable her to love better,
be a better companion to man, not
by replacing but toy supplementing
him. In a word, she will be of equal
value witfli man in the scheme of
things, but not of like value. Hum
anity will be the gainer, because the
womanly element now largely -s.up.prei
ed in the masculine resrime will bp i

nate. Baltimore Sun.
Moral courage deserves its monu
ments no less than physical prowess.
There is no lack cf tributes to the
latter, but the former is net so well
cared for. Yet, of the two, moral
courage is unquestionably the mere
worthy of esteem. It requires great
er strength of character and self
sacrifice, than physical bravery. There
is miany "one less afraid of swords
and bullets than of adverse puibldc
opinion or the loss of friends. Ev
erybody admires the fearless soldier.
There is a certain eclat about him
and his deeds that goes far to com
pensate the spirited and fame-loving
man for his sacrifice, and seems
to make it worth his while to risk
I even his life.
j The Man With Moral Backbone.
But everybody docs not always ad
mire and, still, less, love the man
of strong moral backbone. Those

need be, sacrifice his very best and
closest friend for what he holds to
be right and just, is assuredly some
thing more genuinely heroic than
risking one's life on the glorious
field of battle. To espouse a popu
lar and winning cause is no great
feat, but to stand up iboldly for
justice and truth when power and
pelf are arrayed against them that
is the act of a man. In attempt
ing to give due credit to the morally
courageous we don't of course, in
clude the ever "consistent man" if
by consistency is meant ignorant,
self-opinionatedness, bull-neadness,
or unreasoning obsti nancy and fre

Fool Alwayss Stands Pat.
Only the fool never changes Ms
mind. The wise are ever the first
to recognize and rectify a mistake
when it is pointed out to them. And
they lose nothing thereby. The very
! best of men, and the most honest,
have changed sides and beliefs, and
the sensible people of the world
thought none the less of them for
it. It is the weak, timjd. changing
expression of an unchanged belief,
the cowardly veering or back-slMiny
due to. fear or influence, that mer

mucJi in the way of glare or gljer

neighbor's good name, yet many a
one whom no bodily peril can stop
or stay wrdll balk at speaking out his
mind when his fellow-man's reputa
tion is being torn to tatters by
the foul, envenomed shafts of cal
amity. In what we have said there is no
wish to disparage martial ardor or
prowess. Nor is there any danger
that we could do so even if .we would
It is not that we admire physical
courage less, but that we love moral
courage still more. If we were as
lavish in our recognition of moral
backbone as we are in raising shafts
to the memories of famous soldiers,
and conspicious examples of mater-
j ial benefactions it would perhaps go
far toward implanting and fostering
in the rising generation a better
' than Spartan spirit a love and ap-
preciation of the quality most deserv
ing of their admiration and imi
tation, a quality eminently conducive
to the best type of good citizenship.
If this truth wrere duly emphasized
and impressed upon the youthful
mind in the classroom, it would do
more both for the State and individ
ual than all the ologies with due
respect to them that were ever
dreamed of. Even were this the on
ly result of childhood's training, it
would be something well worth the
while and if the lesson were taken
to heart and put in practice, it
would do away with the painful neces
sity of keeping everlasting tab on
the chosen guardians of the public
interests, and- literally forcing: them.
One Legged Winstonia.n Breaks' Sole

Mr. Holder took the horse, which
is a young animal, out of the barn
this morning, hitched dt to a bug
gy and drovie the animal to his home
to get breakfast. He tied the ani
mal to a pole in front of his house,
just north of Hill's store, not far
from the bridge -acatiss the railroad
track, a passing train frightened
the horse and Mr. Holder, seeing the
animal about to break the halter,
rushed out and grabbed the bridle,
standing in front of the animal. The
.lorse broke the halter and dragged
Mr. Holder several feet before the
latter's .hold wsas broken. The horse
and (buggy ran over the driver It
is not definitely known whether "the
I'orse or the buggyr broke Mr. Hold
er's leg.
The horse ran between Hill's store
and a telephone pole. Ther was not
sufficient room for the buggy to
ass through, hence tne animal broke
loose from the vehicle and ran for
seme distance before it was stopp
ed. The buggy was badly damaeed
and the harness broken up.
Mr. Holder was taken into his
home. The broken limb has been
giving him much pain since it was
reset.
COST OF RUNNING LITIES.
EEST OF OPPORTUNITIES FUR
BISHED BY SECTIONS OF THE
SOUTHEAST FOR THIS INDUSTRY.
Advantages are Many and Will be.
Found in Various Portions of South
eastern States The Road Mater
ial Can Easily be Produced and the
Labor Conditions are Fine.
Southern Field -
The canning industry is one for
which many places in the Southeast
furnish the best of opportunities.
This industry is as yet not largely
developed in the Soutnern states and
the cities and towns of that section
are large purchasers of canned fruits
and vegetables shipped in from oth
er portions of the country. When
their products are properly put up
and rightly marketed canning plants
located in the Southeast will find
large markets near at hand, and
will also oe in position to ship to the
North and to the West Indies and
Central America. Oanners who are
looking for locations, and who have
suff icient capital and understanding
of the business to conduct a plant
successfully would do well to inves
tigate the advantages offered for the
industry in the Southern Railway ter
ritory. South Presents Opportunities.
Probably the principal feature in
the success of a canning plait is the
supply of a wide varietyof fruits and
vegetables. No section of the United
States can furnish this supply bet
ter than the Southeast. In this sec
tion applies, peaches, pears, plums,
strawberries, blackberries, sweet po
tatoes, corn, asparagus, beans, peas,
figs amd other fruits and vegetables
which find a market as canned goods
grow to the best advantage, and in
nearly every portion of the South
east. Such is the variety of crops
that it is possiilble for a cannery to
run a good portion of the year from
those of the imsoediaie -vicinity.
! Land prices in the Southeast are low,
and canners who believe that best
method of securing a steadysupply
of raw material is in the cultivation
of their own land for at least a por
tion of their supply can make the
investment at the smallest outlay.
There are many good towns which
will furnish the proper supply of la
bor and which are so located that
their shipipng facilities will permit
the marketing of the product to a
wide range of territory in competi
tion with plants in other regions.
The South is a country of pure wa
ter, and there are very few places in
which the most adequate supply of
water for a plant cannot be had at
the iow7est cost.
In a number of communities along
the Southern Railway and associated
lines business men will take stjcipk
in a good canning enterprise, where
it ts to be managed by the right
kind of a practical man. Gentlemen
who fmay be interested in the es
tablishment of such plants will be
aided in making their investigations
if they will write the Land nd Indus

THE COMET BIT HIM.
Statesville LandrrJ rk Tells of Man
Who Knew Old Fellow Who Mis
took Wasp for Comet.
Monroe JournaL-
There are people now living in
North Carolina who saw the comet
some 75 years ago on its last visit,
and the Statesville Landmark is for
tunate in having on its list cf friends
one who saw it at that time. Of his
views and experiences it saysi:
"There seems to be so much, ex
citement and great popular interest
in the visit of this great celestial
Halley comet, that a talk with our
Mr. Isaac Long, who lives at Hampto
ville, was qudte interesting. "Mr. Long
says he was about 9 years old when
this noted comet visited us, some 75
years ago. He recollects very well
'i seeing it every night, in the nortn
ern part of the heavens, the tail to
ward the eastward and the head to
ward the west, and dt seemed accord
ing to the eye measurement, to be
over 100 yards long. Its. appearance
produced considerable commotion a
mong the peopiie of that day.
"Mr. Long also described the fall
ing of the stars in 1833. He relates
some pleasing and amusing incidents
occurring that night, among them
that old Uncle Moses Austill, long
since dead, who did not at all times
use Sunday school talk, lit out of his
bed, jumped into hisi pants,and call
ed to his wife to get up, that the
world was about to be wound up and
the judgment diay was here. Then
he dropped on his knees praying. A
bout this time a wasp concealed in
his pants let him know cf his pres
ence. He screamed out: There, th
d d thing's bit me, right here in
ihe pinch of the game.' "

Lincoln County Fruit Growers Go
ing at it Right.
Lincolnton News.
The News is glad to laa.'n that fruit
raising is receiving more and more
attention each year at the hands of
the Lincoln county farmers. Mr. C.
P. Miller, one of the county's repre
sentative citizens, who lives on no.
3 route, was in tne city last Friday,
and upon being asked by the News
man how his orchard was coming
along, replied "Fine." That sounds
good. His orchard is comparative
ly young, only about five years old.
He has about" four acres in apples
and peaches and the peach crop be
gins with the earliest varieties
and !by the time this crop is gone he
has other trees ready to bear, so that
he is never out of' peaches during
the wrhole season. He too, like Mr.
Hau&s, uses spraying methods to pur
ify his orchard thereby killing in
sects that are so bad to ruin trees,
and especially the younger ones. In
the spring time Mr. Miller plows his
orchard two or three" times, firfct;
time deep, and follows it with more
shallow plowing. He then puts in
peas in order to shade the roots of
' the trees as well as to furnish plant
! food for his orchard. Last year his
orchard didn't net him such large
amounts in actual cash, 3-et he is lay
ing the foundation for a paying crop
in the future. It is only a matter of
time until, big shipments of fruit
will" be sent out from this county eac
year, which means that more money
will come to the county via the
fruit crop route. .
