VOL. XI.
A D. T3BEPUTABLE PRACTICE
which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them imitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu
lator, because they make more
money by the imitatioi ; and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling tbem an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. 2iow
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator which is the " King of
Liver Medicines," because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get
Simmons Liver Regulator. You
know it by QgZ3SlSfimg the sa m e
old stamp Dj of the Red
Z on the j packa ge.
It h a s vp!iTV never fail
ed you, fcffcjja and people
who have xs been per
suaded to take something else have
always come back again to The
Old Friend. Better not take any
thing else but that made by J. H.
Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL.
You never can tell when you send a
word
Like an arrow shot from a bow
By an archer blind be it cruel or kind.
Just where it will chance to go.
It may pierce the breast of your dear
est friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm ;
To a stranger's heart in life's great
mart
It may carry its pain or its calm.
You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be ;
But with every deed you are sowing a
seed,
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In God's productive soil ;
Though yon may not know, yet the tree
shall grow
And shelter the brows that toil.
You never can tell what your thoughts
will do
In bringing you hate or love ;
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swiiter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create its kind ;
And they speed o'er the track to bring
you back
Whatever went out faom your mind.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Munsey's.
The Blessing of It.
Sunday School Times affirms ; "It is
a great blessing to any man to have
work whether he feels like it or not.
If a man is so circumstanced that he
can lie in bed in the morning until he
feels like getting up ; or that he can do
nothing as soon as he has eaten his
breakfast unless he feels like doing
something ; or that he is not necessitat
ed to take hold of business on days
when he feels like doing nothing he
is at a great disadvantage in life, and
cannot at any time do the best work of
which he is capable. Pressure is es
sential to the highest measure of phys
ical or mental success. If you have to
work every day, whether you leel like
it or not, thank God that vou are so
circumstance. If you are at liberty
to work or not, according to your
feelings, pray Clod to bring you, by
some conditions, into such a state that
you must be a worker."
They quote the Fourth Command
ment too often as if it were only a
command to rest one day out of seven.
But, as we read it, it commands work
as well, and six days of it every week.
Work may be so long continued as to
become a never ending grind, grinding
all happiness and love and content out
of our very existence. Not of this
kind does commandment four speak ;
but of such work as will support a
family, and keep at it six days in the
week.
There is busy idleness ; professing to
be studying while we are but turning
oyer leaves ; or reading books or mag
azines or papers, by which no soul of
man will be lifted up into the larger
thoughts or grander conceptions of
truth and goodness.
There is a busy idleness in other
ways, but work is of the very essence of
happiness and content. He who has it
not to do is floating amid the discon
tents ; he who has it to do and does it
well, is healthier and happier thereby
Possibly, as the Times says, we may
need pressure to make us work at our
best ; then pray God for pressure ; pray
God to keep us in work with desire to
do it, lest the miseries and discontents
eat out the happiness of our.hves.
SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 11 1895.
j The Origin cf "Outsider," "You're a
Daisy" and "Too Thin."
"Dun" is a word whose meaning is
now known to every one who under
stands the English language. About
the beginning of the century, says the
Boston Post, a constable in England
named John Dun became celebrated a
a first-class collector ot bad accounts.
When others would fail to collect a bad
debt, Dun would be sure to get it out
of the debtor. It soon passed into a
current phrase that when a person
owed money and did not pay when ask
ed he would have to be "Dunned,"
hence it soon became common in such
cases to say : "You will have to dun So-and-So
If you wish to collect your mon
ey." Until the nomination of Franklin
.Pierce tor the Presidency the word "out
sider" was unknown. The Committee
on Credentials came to make its report
a.nd could not get into the hall because
of the crowd of people who were not
members of the convention. The
chairman of the convention asked if
the committee was ready to report, and
the Chairman of the committee an
swered "Yes, Mr. Chairman, but the
committee is unable to get inside on
account of the crowd and pressure of
the outsiders." The newspaper report
ers took up the word and used it."
"You axe a daisy," is used by Dick
ens in "David Copperfield" in the sense
of calling a person a daisy in the way
to express admiration and at the same
time to laugh at one's credulity.
Steerforth says to young Copperfield :
"David, my daisy, you are so innocent
of the world. Let me call you my
daisy, as it is so refreshing to find one
in these corrupt days so innocent and
unsophisticated. My dear Copperfield
the daisies nf the field are not fresher
than you."
"Too thin" was given currency by
Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia, in
the United States Congress in 1870.
A Few Hints for Girls.
Harper s Young People.
This is what I wanted to say to you
about books, girls : They seem to me
much like pleasant countries with paths
leading here and there, and when you
open a new one it is like taking a little
journey. You never are sure of what
will he the next surprise. Cultivate a
loye for books. I know that school
girls have not much time to deyote to
reading, their lessons and other duties
taking up their days so fully, but one
can secure a half-hour now and then,
and it is a good plan to keep a good
book on hand. A half hour every day
will make itself felt in the course of a
year, as you will be convinced if you
will take the trouble to make a list, one
by one, of the books you read.
Xow for a step to something quite
different : Can any girl explain why
most girls are so much opposed to wear
ing overshoes. "Don't ask me to put
on rubbers," says Molly, when the
spring rain is pouring in a flood. "My
shoes are thick, and I hate rubbers,
anyway !" If your shoes have cork
soles you may venture safely out-doors
on a moderately wet day without other
protection, but the ordinary boot is not
thick enough to let you do this safely.
I have a fancy that girls ought to please
their mothers in a little thing of thig
kind.
In conversation, girls, it is as well
not to set people right in case of their
making unimportant mistakes. Char
lotte is describing a person she met last
summer. "He was very tall," she says ;
"as tail as a Keginanld, and looked so
strong and well. "Oh, no, sister !" in
terrupts Anne ; "he was taller than
Max, and when we saw him he was
very pale."
You can readily understand that the
interest of the little incident, whatever
it is, does not depend on the inches of
the hero ; and in setting Charlotte
right Anne throws the whole story off
the track, disconcerts her sister, and
makes everybody uncomfortable.
When Baby was kick, re gore her Castor!.
V.'hen she uras a Child, she cried for Castoria,

EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO.
Chicken Cholera and its Prevention.
F. E. Emry, Experiment Station.
Why submit to heavy losses from this
disease? Up to April, 1894, this dis
ease had not been on the Experiment
Farm to our knowledge. Early in that
month a hen became sick and dump
ish with dark comb ; all food and water
refused. It wa thought useless to
treat tnis case, but Epsom salts Mas ad
ministered and this was followed with
copious watering put in the mouth
vith a spoon. The hen was placed in
a warm, sunny place, isolated from us
ual runs, and recovered very slowly.
Another hen died in a lew days and
then another and a cockerel, and sever
al persons who had had experience
with cholera pronounced this disease to
be cholera. The hen and cockerel died
near night, and next morning two oth
er hens were dead and sight more were
in different stages ot the disease.
Treatment was begun at once. Two
hens were killed and buried as those
previously dead had been. The six
were brought out into the sunlight and
given salts and water.
The house and yard were thoroughly
disinfected witn one pint of strong sul
phuric acid to 8 gallons of water, as
suggested in poultry books. The hens
themselves were sprayed with this.
Their drinking water was charged with
carbolic acid (1 teaspoonful to half a
gallon water) and asafoetida was put in
their food at the rate ot 1 heaping
tablespoon to the food of 30 chick
ens. The next morning six hens could not
get off the roost, though all but two
had gone up as usual the night pre
vious, after their treatment. These
were treated as before and put outside
the yard. Before night all but four
hens were ..walking about picking grass.
After three days of isolation these four
were returned to the yard cured and
all have been in good health since.
Six hens and a cockerel were lost be
fore the health of the flock was res
tored by the treatment as given above.
Had we known the disease at first, it
is doubtful if a single bird need to have
been lost. Promptness to disinfect and
treat the eick birds will save many loss
es. The doses of salts, not before rec
ommended to my knowledge, doubtless
helped rid the birds of the cholera bac
cilli sooner than if it had not been given,
and so hastened the eradification of the
disease. The asafoetida acts as a diffusi
ble stimulant to keep the birds warm.
The drinking water was for some
days kept charged with carbolic acid,
and all that is now needed to secure
immunity from another attack is a sec
ond thorough disinfection and to con
tinue for some time the addition of car
bolic acid to the drinking water.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111. was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
King's Xew Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr.
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold
approaching Consumption, tried with
out result everything else then bought
one bottle of Dr. King's Xew Discovery
and in two weeks was cured. He is
naturally thankful. It is such results,
of which these are samples, that prove
the wonderful efficacy of this medicine
in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bot
tles at E. T. Whitehead &, Co.'s Drug
gtore. Regular size 50c. and if 1.00.
The last man will perish and the sun
will rise upon an earth without an in
habitant. Its atmosphere, its seas, its
life and heat, will vanish, and the planet
will be an idle cinder uselessly spinning
in its orbit. Ingalls.
Old People.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine does not stimulate and
contains no whiskey nor other intoxi
cant, but acts as a tonic and alterative.
It acts mildly on the stomach and
bowels, adding strength and giving
tone to the organs, thereby aiding
Xature in the performance oi the func
tions. Electric Bitters is an excellent
appetizer and aids digestion. Old peo
ple find it just exactly what they need.
Price fifty cents per bottle at E. T.
