However, here and there may be found an Struggling for Sdu- iMtance of determination for an education even Cation, at great disadvantage. Such is seen in the follow ing from Bute's Creek Academy : "A man of thirty-four years old.who for twelve years had been a guard on the State farm, entered school this week snd began in the first reader. He is unable to write at all, but says he Is determined to get sufficient education to attend to his own business. Such a struggle as this stirs one's sympathy and should be an inspiration to every struggling boy and girl." tut ' The campaign of education in North Carolina has brought out many suggestions about our educational interests, and among other things the better pay of teachers. The Wilmington Star Better Pay for Teaoners. thinks that gbt to do the very best- of work snd get better pay. In one paragraph, it says : "The pay of teachers., ought to be high enough to Induce men and women to make teaching a profession and not a maxeshitt . We don't want to see competent men and women go into the school room simply to stay there until some other ave nue opens up a better opportunity to them. Positively the poorest paid people, considering the talents, acquisitions and versatility, not to men tion the tremendous results cf their work, are the patient teachers of our children. Let good pay and better teaeSers be a part of the cam paign of education in North Carolina." ... 1 1 1 1 (iovebhor Montague in Lis message to the General Assembly of Vir ginia a few days sgo," emphasised (he importance of improving public roads. - What he said of the roads in Vir- Boad ImproyemsntB. applies as well in North Car olina. Among other things he said : "Our indifferent public highways are a hindrance to the growth ot our rural population and a bar to immi gration.' The energies of our people were long devoted to the construct ion ol raflroads, which were thought to take the place of common roads. This, however, is a disastrous mistake. A systematic construction, and maintenance of publie roads should be begun in this state as early as prac ticable. Our increased revenue can afford appropriations tor the inaugura tion of such a system, which will bring untold material and social benefits to the state. This is a matter of supreme moment to our people and should be promoted by your body which is the only agenoy of the state author ised to give the needed relief." - 1 1 1 1 '.-.;;,: Thebx is now and then some discussion as to whether colleges and unl- venules ought to accept gitta from very rich men who have made their money by methods which the more scrupulous Olleges Endoewd by WQuld doabtfal Thft Washington Times UilUouaire. recen tly said some very pointed things against ac cepting money from such sources, and the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot dis cusses the question briefly, concluding thus : "It is all well enough to -say -that the faculty of institutions that are the beneficiaries of millions made in business ot a shady nature are tree to teach what they will and that the moral and intellectual atmosphere of these Institutions is not influenced by suoh gilts. It isn't true, and experience has shown that it isn't The col lege that receives a gift of a million dollars from7 a man who made bis money In dubious ways inevitably and invaribly becomes measurably a re flex of the man. The faculty Is estopped from teaching the vice of meth ods to which they owe their salaries, and the atmosphere of the college be comes anything but wholesome. No one has ever heard a professor of Chi cago University condemning Standard Oil methods, and nobody will. Ills Mr. Rockefeller's rather than the public's. Human nature is human na ture and a sense ot consistency, if nothing else, will deter the college pro fessor from condemning the methods by which the endowment of his col lege was accumulated. And the few instances in which this has been tried sbowa conclusively that it was worth the job of any college professor to utter hostile criticism of the methods ot the college's benefactor." t t t t North Carouna is peculiarly blessed In climate. In the main it la al ways mild, both in cold and warm weather. Sometimes the weather In - : winter gets pretty sharp as, for Instance, this' OUT Great Climate. aea80D . bDt u advantage in that in many wya. One cannot fail to be impressed with the advantages of our climate when he reads such as the following from tne Wilmington Messenger : "The past season has proved to be a very profitable one for the truckers in this state. The crop raised during the late fall and early winter is lettuce and although the crop was short, the pices were very ' high and more than counter-balanced the difference in the -crop. It will onlyfbe about a week or ten days until all the lettuce In this part of the state will have been shipped. Several large truckers expect to make shipments today. The truckers were greatly rejoiced last Monday when they opened their lettuce beds and found that the severely cold weather of the past week bad not injured the crop. The only thing that saved the : crop was the snow. As a rule the lettuce crop in the state is marketed by the 10th of January and preparations made for the spring crop, but this year the crop is from two to three weeks late. North Carolina and Florida , are the great lettuce growing states and tbe Florida crop comes on the market about the time the North Carolina crop is marketed. The price of lettuce always drops when the Florida crop is placed on the market and this is the prlnolpal reason that the North Carolina truckers get their, crop in. early. It takes a moderately cold climate to grow lsttnee and this M the reason that the FlorSia crop-does not mature until about the middle of January.

Consumption on The Decline. ; -wawawaaaa IPlttaburgh Post ' . While a New York paper maintains that one reason for the increased mor tality from pneumonia may be found in the fashion now prevalent of ascribing thereto deaths really dus jh conEump- tion, for which there are well-under stood reasons, or other forms of pul monic disease, statements are made from such authors tire sources as the Now York Academy of Medicine which sustain the medis&l theory that con sumption is on the decrease. It will I not hurt people to think so. Within the last decade, In the state of Massa chusetts alone, it was stated in an ad dress before the society that 'mortality from tuberculosis bad been reduced by one-half.' Between 1885 and 1902, notwithstanding the increase in popu lation, amounting to nearly one-half, the deaths from consumption in Massa chusetts declined from 5,955 to 4,685, In fifty years, since 1853, the death rate per lU.UUU lonabitanta ot mat state has declined from 42.7 to 15.9. This is a strong argument as to the de cline of consumption, which interests almost every family connection. An eminent London physician, Dr. Hiller, of the public health board of London, maintains that the change which has been constantly going on Ifromjbe lesseing of the death rate from consumption constitutes one of the marked features of the vital statis tics of civilized countries. If the pre lent rate of decrease in the mortality from this disease is continued uni formly, . consumption should - wholly disannear from England within the I ST " next bait century. The same rule ap plied to Massachusetts would appear to show that the disease will be extln sTulshed in that state wtthin even a shorter neriod. Since 1893 its death rate from consumption declined from 13.1 per 10,000 deaths to 15 9 The "white plague" is obviously controlla ble, and the fact is a great achievement for medical science.

Sheppard, Member of Congress from Texas, writes: Gentlemen: have used Pcrun in my family and find It a moat excellent remedy for all catarrhal complaints. " Congressman John L. Sheppard, THESE are two things that the whole medical profession agree about con cerning catarrh. The first is that ca tarrh is the most prevalent and omnipres ent disease to which the people in the United States are subject. All classes of people have it. Those who stay In .doors much and those whw go outdoors much. Working classes have it and sedentary classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con stant and ever-present foe. It compli cates nearly every disease he is called upon to treat. The second thing about catarrh on which all doctors agree, is that it is dif ficult to cure it. Local remedies may give relief but they fail to cure per manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to Blacillsta Whole List at Saloon. National Advocate. Ex-Goyernor David H. Goodell, of New Hampshire, has created conster nation among tbe saloon keepers oil that State. Tbe temperance law of the State provides that parent, wife or employer may serve notice on a saloon-keeper to sell no liquor to persons in whom tbey are directly interested. " Mr. Ooodell has taken advantage of the law, and has prepared a blacklist containing every man of age in town. He made a house-to-bouEe canvas, securing the notices of wires and parents. Tbe names of the ministers, and even his own name, are on the liet. It was hardly expected that tbe law wonld be applied to saloons out ol town, but the former governor is confi dent it can be applied lo this way. He started his fight against saloons in An trim, where be had a cutlery factory, and at the last election secured a victory for tbe temperance people. AH tbe sa loons in the town were closed, and only the one in the adjoining town of Hills borough remained to tempt tbe An trimites. In other localities the law has been taken advantage of to make a blacklist against drunkards. Tbe influence has been felt by the saloon men to a great extent, and the law is producing gener al satisfaction.

Catarrh is frequently located in inter nal organs which cannot be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician. ' To devise some systemic internal rem edy which' would reach catarrh at I' source, to eradicale) it permanently from the system this has been the d sire of the medical profession for a long time.

The Torttie Inflicted by Ceaseless Kagzing. Richmond. News Leader. We have horrible stories from old times of people fastened where drops of water would fall on their heads at regular Intervale, and of tbe fright ful death, preceded by untold ago nies, that resulted. Thousands ol hearts and bralus suffer dally under a process just as cruel, excruciating and fatal. Ucquestionsbly, long proces sions of people have been nagged into their graves untimely, and others into the madhouse or worse places. No ad vantages of money, culture, refinement or position ean give happiness or peace where there is nagging. It lacerates the senUtiye surface of tbe mind. It is as if we exposed one of the great neryes and sawed at it with a dull knife without the merciful preliminary of anaesthetic. Most of us have had ex perience in one way or another. Some times we become morbid and we can feel tbe nagging coming and begin to shrink from It ; and when it does come it jars and stings like some ghastly combination weapon simultaneously piercing, bruising and poisoning. The ranks ot the outcasts and derelicts of both sexes and all ages are .increased annually by thousands by tbe nagging tongues, soys iuu iu driven from homes by ceaseless, un necessary faultfinding ; husbands and wives are carried to tbe divorce courts, willing employes are discouraged and demoralized, good servants are ruined. - DOMESTIC TROUBLES.

This remedy, Peruna, is now to be found in every drag store and nearly every home in the land. It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing. A Case of Nasal Catarrh of Itv Tears Standing-Cored by Pe-ru-na. f , Hon. Rudolph M. Patterson, a well known lawyer, of Chicago, HI., writes ".I have been a sufferer from nasal catarrh for the past five years and at the earnest solicitation of a friend I tried Peruna and am glad to say it has afford ed a complete cure. It is with pleasure I recommend it to others." Rudolph M. Patterson. A course of Peruna never fails to bring relief. There is no other remedy like Peruna. Its cures are prompt and permanent. Mr. Camillas Senne, 257 West 129th street, New York, writes : MI have fully recovered from my ca tarrhal trou bles. I suffered for three years with catarrh of the head, nose and throat. I tried all kinds of medicine without relief, but at last I have been cured by the wondcr ful remedy called Peruna. "I read of Pe runa in your almanac, and wrote you for advice, which I followed. After tak ing one and one-half bottles of Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recommend Peruna to anyone as the best and surest remedy for any catarrhal troubles." Camillas Senne.

' " Some years ago I lofcfr the hearing lit my left ear, and upon examination by a specialist, catarrh was decided to bo tho cause. I took a course of treatment and regained my hearing for a time but I soon lost it completely. I commenced to take Peruna according to directions and have taken eight bottles In all, and my hearing is completely restored, and I shall sing the praises of Peruna when ever an opportunity occurs.

A boy who was required to write an essay on hens produced tbe following : "Hens is curious animals; they don't have no nose nor no teeth nor no ears. They swallow their whittles whole and ehew It up in their crops inside of 'em. The outside of hens is generally put Into pillars and into feather dusters. Tbe inside of a hen is sometimes filled with marbles and shirt buttons and sich. A ben is very much smaller than a good many other animals, but they'll dig up more tomato plants than anything that ain't a ben. Hens is very useful to lay eggs tor plum pud dings. Hens have wings aud can lly when tbey get frightened. I cut t.-ff a hen's head with a hatcbet, and it frightened her to death." SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH The family of Mrs. M. L.
