Read the following: "I have always been healthy; with the ex ception of a touch of rheumatism since my age came on, np to the time of my husband's last illness some years ago. I assisted in nursing my husband for nearly three months when he departed this life and the mental strain I think caused my trouble. Aside from extreme nervousness my trouble com menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My physician gave me purgative doses which weakened me very much and my stomach for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain and the dormant condition of my stomach soon told upon my general health. I had little appetite and was soon forced to stay in bed a greater part of the time. Within a week after the time I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was up about the house. I continued their use until completely cured. My faith in Dr. Miles' Remedies has been strengthened by experience of other people, our daughter hay ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid results in a case of paralysis and a friend to whom I sent a box of the Anti-Pain Pills re ports that she has been completely cured of neuralgia by their use.

IWSTUU, jlDITOrS J,EISURE JloUlS OBSERVATIONS OF If you are a citizen of North Carolina and wish to vote in the next election you mast pay your poll tax before the first of May. And the law Bo Yon Want to Vote? will be excused from the tax because you lost your vote. You will haye to pay the tax anyway ; and so It would be better to pay in time to save your ; privilege to vote. Casting a free ballot is one of the glories of American citizenship, and the good citizens of North Carolina ought not to forfeit this privilege by failing to pay poll tax in time. t t i t The frequency of divorces and the ease with which they may be obtain ed are attracting attention of people all over the country. Bey. Dr. Mc- Kim, rector "Progressive Polygamy.' ington, D. "In nothing has American life suffered such serious damage as in the lowering of tbe ideal of marriage which has been seen during the last two generations. We shudder at the revelations unblushingly given In our national capital here recently of Mormonism, the plague spot in the body politic, but it is humiliating to reflect on the frightful relaxation of the bonds of matrimony all over the land. Our courts are grinding out di vorces every day in such a manner as to build up practically a system ot progressive polygamy." Ittt This is the way Faimer H. M. Daniel, of Madison county, thinks of God, who sends tbe heavy and freqnent rains which have so hindered iarm labor ' A "Divine Partner." so often come this spring to the iarmars when they were about - ready to start their plows, but have been hindered again by the rains. He says philosophically : "We farmers cannot aff jrd to complain of the decisions ot our Divine partner. Without him we indeed can do nothing." And this is a most wise and sensible view to take of the weather. It Is a wonder that God lets ooie prosper at all they grumb'e so much about weather, heat and cold, and whatever does not suit them exactly. tut The Commonwealth has go oiten insisted on farmers raising all home supplies that it is possible some may think that we are making it a hobby, - ... - , , . aud we said as much two weeks ago. One of the Says it is a Good Hoddv. ' oldest and clearest headed men in this commu nity said to res a few day ajo that if we htv- 'C the subject of home supplies for farmers a hobby, it is a proper one. He advised us to con tinue the admonition to farmerd, and agrees with us that there is no truly successful farming without it. And so it we had not intended to do it be fore we should feel inclined to keep insisting on this system. We haya been insisting on it for several years, and we propose to keep on insisting. It is the only wise course for farmers. As we have said time and time again before, it matters not what is the price of the farmer's money crop it is a losing business to buy home supplies with money he makes from cot ton or tobacco. ....ittt Sometimes items of news or editorial items are taken from one newspa per by another and used without credit. This is either the result of care lessness or which is a Don't Care Abont Credit. editor. Occasionally when an editor's news item or editorial is used by an other editor without credit, the editor whose work is thus used refers to it in a pointed way, but winds up the paragraph by saying that he doesn't care anything about having credit for anything clipped from his paper, but just thought he would call the other fellow's attention to it. Well, such an editor has a bigger bump for patience than we have. It makes us a little puffy yes, quite so for another paper to clip any original item from these columns, news or editorial, and not give credit for it. Now, this is tbe truth all over and the most of the other editors just about as well say so too. Of course, now and then a slip occurs, and the failure to give credit is an oversight. In such case, however, it does not cost much to make the correction in the next issue. The practice of clipping lrom other papers without giving credit looks bad in any editor and the whole : truth is, it is bad treatment, and men ought not be expected to like it. t t t t Some weeks ago The Commonwealth said in this column that there Is just as much reason for Congress to make appropriations for tbe improve- .. ' . . , ment of public roadways as for public waterways. National Appropriation . , , . . - . No one questions the principle of making ar- to Our Aoaas. , propriations for our streams of commerce, al though the amount of some appropriations may be questioned. Neither do we believe that there is any room to question the principle of national appropriations for the improvement of our roads. Here is what Congress man Pou, of the Fourth district, thinks of it as quoted in the Progressive Farmer : "Senators and Members of Congress may as well make up their minds to deal with the good roads question at an early day. The people are de manding better roads all over the country. I do not believe there is any constitutional obstacle in the way of government aid. Congress appropri ates millions for rivers and harbors and for rural delivery routes. Certain ly Congress has the power to appropriate money to improve the roads over which mail is carried, and in a few years mail will be carried over every important road in the country. "Most of our rural communities are too poor to raise money sufficient to build good and enduring roads, but if the government would pay one-half as provided by the Brownlow bill, the county or, community might be able to raise the other half. "The last river and harbor bill carried an appropriation of oyer sixty millions of dollars. Large cities received the benefit of nearly all the vast ""sum. Now let Congress appropriate an equal amount of money to aid the States in building good, hard, dry roads, and the farmers of the country, for whom both political parties profess such great solicitude, will feel that they are not entirely neglected." . t3 Loxathrc Dromo Q PASSING EVENTS. does not mean that if you prefer to lose your vote by failing to pay poll tax by the first of May, you of an Episcopal church in Wash C, recently said in a sermon : this season.

"In City Tents," Etc. Copyright, 1904. by Christine Teihune Harriet. JEVER yet was there a normal wo man who did not wish to dress well. What dressing well means is de termined by each one for herself. In the early stages it probably meant un limited fig leaves, and a little later a new pelt from this or that animal or a new style in a garment woven oi the bark of trees. Such simplicity bas unfortunately come to an end. The point has been reached' where a woman cannot dress as she pleases, bet wast please to dress like the majority of women. It is a blessed dispensation that she usually likes to be in tbe fashion, or some where near it, and feels it no hardship to conform to prevailing modes. In fact, she usually likes it. Her chief difficulty is how to manage to conform when she has not enough money to do It on. Appropriate dressing should be an easy matter for the woman who has a generous allowance for her wardrobe. Then it is her own fault if she does not have suitable costumes for every emer- j gency. Appropriate dressing is also without complications for the women who never go anywhere except to church, and whose needs are supplied by working frocks and one gown for best. Even such an one doubtless thinks she bas her troubles, but they are as Dotbing to those of the woman who must, so to speak, serye two mas ters, or who, In other words, must fill more functions than those of the house keeper and church goer, and must dress lor these other things without exceed ing a comparatively small sum. Such a woman finds dressing well more or less of a problem usually more rather than less- To women lixe this the fashion of separate skirts and waists, has come as a positiye boon. In the days when one must have a whole gown of one material, dressing was more complex even than it is now. Every one whose memory goes back to those times can recall how tbe waists gave out before the skirts and left one with a supply ot the latter in tolerable order and a pain ful dearth of tbe former. Now, when one has a skirt of which the body part Is past worthy, a shirt waist can be made to take the place of the outworn garment. Even with this expedient it is still possible for women to make mistakes In their dressing. One of tbe ohief of these they commit when they buy conspicuous clothing. (I am speaking now of the woman who must wear one gown a long time). The striking ef fect may be. charming at first, but be fore the frock or the hat or the coat Is half worn out tbe woman who wears it and the friends1 who see her wear it are tired to death of it. Another blunder that women make sometimes Is in buying articles of ap parel which will not go together well. We all know the woman who has bought a snuff colored gown and a drab jacket, or a dark green gown and a bat trimmed with a blue that makes ia Two Days, 1 ca every 3. 35C f HE ' POPULAR COUNTY CLERK' - OF THE CITY OF SARI FRANCISCO. Hon. Wm. A. Deane. Clerk of the citv Deputy in the office of his predecessor daring the latter part ox his term, tie is a Native Son, having been born and raised in the city of San Francisco, and has for many years been prominently identified with the Order of Native Sons of the Golden West, as weU as other fraternal popular young man, socially and politically also, as evidenced by the ballots cast at the late election, ne Having defeated by nearly 8,000 votes. In a letter written January 28, 1899, Deane has the following to say of Feruna: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio, Oentiemen: would not it to be the best remedy for catarrhal complaints that I have ever used, I have tried most ail ot the so-called catarrh remedies advertised, and can conscientiously say that complaints recommended to me Peruna." WILLIAM A, DEANE, CATARRH assumes different phases I autumn catarrh. In each of these v&rie in. different seasons of the year. I ties different organs 6eera to be the prin- There is, therefore, four quite well-mark- ed varieties of catarrh. Winter catarrh, in the winter tne catann ismoreii e epring catarrh, summer catarrh, and 1 quent in the bead, throat and xespiratury a discord of tints that set the teeth on edge. The woman who must econo mice on her clothing must buy things that go together well and every piece ot her attire must be selected, not for its beauty alone, but because it will harmonize with the rest of her cos tume. Simple styles should also be chosen by the woman who can have only a limited wardrobe. Extremes in fash- ion should be avoided. There is the same objection to these that there is to tbe startling effects to which I re ferred a moment ago. More than this, such a woman should study what suits her. Because a certain garment looks we'l in a fashion plate or on a figure in a show window, it does not follow that it will do as much on every wo man. One would not believe the blunders which women will make, did not one see illustrations of such "breaks" on every side.
