What a large proportion of the time of the well is necessarily devoted to and lost in the care of the sick. An army of Physicians, Nurses and Watchers, etc. One sick member of the family upsets the whole current of domestic affairs, and social and business interest suffers. Sleepless nights arid anxious days tend to undermine the net 1th. of those who are well. The direct cost of sickness is an item impossible to estimate: even the direct cost could it be computed would be something appalling. Health is maintained by resorting to the use of Warner's Safe Cure just as soon as the liver shows signs of torpidity or the kidneys give suspicion of weakness. FREE SAMPLE..

Fevers, all Liver, Kidney and Bo:.ve! troubles . Only 25e at E. T. Whitehead & Co.'s Monday to comemorate the birthday of the the late General Robert E.- Lee. However, the - proceedings were marked by a sensation when Senator Gudger, ot Ashevil'e, openly stated cn the floor of the Senate that he believed Dr. J. L. M. Curry had assisted m de priving Hon- VV.T. Crawford ot hisseat in Congress and in seating Richmond Pearson ; hence Senator Gudger said be. was opposed to inviting Dr. Curry to address the General Assembly. Dr. Curry is one of the more promi nent educators in the nation, being now the treasurer of the Feabody Edu cational Fund, from which some edu tional institutions of this State receive aid, and Senator Gndger's words ccu'd not fail to produce a sensation. Dr. Ourrv is a Lemocrat and has he'd foreign appointments from that party. INVITATION TO DR. CURRY. Senator Gudger's remarks were pro voked by a joint resolution introduced bv Senator Mclntyre of Robeson The resolution read as follows. Resolved by the Seuate, the House of Representatives concurring : "That -the Honorable J.L. M.Curry, Treasurer of the Peabody Educational Fund, be invited to addresa the Gener al Assembly in the hall of the House of Representatives at such time as will bo convenient for him." Lieut. Gov. Turner put the motion to adopt and the resolution passed, on ly one voice being heard in the nega tive. SENATOR GUDGER EXPLAINS. Senator Gudger was thtn recognized and said : "Mr. President, I desire to explain why I voted 'no' upon the adoption of the resolution just parsed. I have reliable information that Dr. Curry used his influence and lobbied in the National House of Representatives to unseat Hon. William T. Crawford, who had been elected by t he people of my neetion, and to seat in his stead Rich mond Pearson, who had not been elect ed by the people. With this informa tion, since Dr. Curry is considered a Democrat, I felt compelled to vote against tne resolution inviting him to address the General Assemoly." This closed the incident in the Sen are, but not a few Senators were heard discussing the matter afterwards. HOUSE The House eession was abort an adjournment being taken about 11 :30 in honor of Gen. R. E. Lee's birthday. However, quite a good deal of business was transacted, and a reasonably lively discussion w:is Indulged in over the question of au thorizing the Joint Committee on Roads and Turnpikes to employ a stenographer.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear vhen the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child .reaches an age when it should be able to j control the passage, it is yet afflicted with ' bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- Horn of Swamp-Root, ing all- about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received j from sufferers cured.
