Excess
Of Smoking Affected
My Heart
So I Had To Sit Up
To Breathe.
Dr. Miles' Heart
Cured Me.
Cure
There is nothing that has a more deleter
ious effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves
than the excessive use of tobacco. Pain and
tenderness around the heart, an oppressive
feeling in the chest, choking sensation in the
throat, discomfort from sleeping on the left
side and smothering spells at night when the
sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the' most common symptoms of a weak heart.
Smokers who leel these symptoms and who
do not understand their meaning should be
warned in time, by the following experience:
"I was greatly troubled with an affection
of the heart, due I think to excessive smoking.
On writing to you for advice I was directed
to begin a course of treatment which in
cluded Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, Dr. Miles'
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills, together
with bathing, etc. I faithfully followed the
directions given end am pleased to say that
my cure is complete and permanent. Be
fore beginning the use of your remedies I
was so nervous I could not keep my hands
Still and suffered greatly from severe pains
around the heart. Many times at night I
would be forced to assume a sitting posture
to get my breath, and for the time being it
would seem as though my heart had stopped
beating. From the splendid results achieved
in my case I can cheerfully recommend Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure, Restorative Nervine and
other remedies to all sufferers from heart or
nervous troubles." Yours truly, Elijah

went on top of the train to ride to Goldsboro. They were drinking freely
and at tbe covered bridge the accident occurred. It has been reported that
at least one suit will be brought against the railroad company for damages
That seems like an attempt to get money any way, just so you get It. Tbe

town for its benefit, the first thing the promoters do is to secure the help of
the local paper to carry out the project Yet, as is olten the case, the same
promoters, when the editor comes to them to seek an advertisement do
not see that it will benefit them to use the columns of the paper, all be
cause, as they will generally put it, they have been in business so long that
they are known by every one ; consequently they tarn the editor down only
to seek him out again when they have another pet measure to advocate
and they want the public to get next. Reciprocity should be more freely
practiced."

contains a paper on "Causes and .Prevention of Consumption" which
should become a part of the general information of every person who can
read. It is the most sensible and practical treatment of tbe subject we
have ever seen. One can read it in ten or fifteen minutes. And as a
good reason why every one should read it, the statement is made that one
seventh of the deaths in the civilized world are caused be this "Great
White Plague." One-fourth of all who die in adult life are victims ot the
disease, and between four and five thousand die in North Carolina every
year from this dread disease. The paper in the Bulletin points out how
the disease may be avoided, and so it should be widely read.

Beats Davis Twenty King Qver hijj actiyity and abilityt. notwithstand-
ing his age, Canada can hush up both parties
here. Thomas J. Curren, a writer in the August number of the Cosmo
politan, tells of Senator Wark, of tbe maritlne province of New Brunswick,
who was one hundred years old last February, and is still serving his coun
try as a public legislator. He is said to haye attended tbe sittings ot Far
liament daring tbe last session as regularly as he did twenty years ago. On
his one hundredth anniversary tbe Canadian government presented to him
an oil painting of himself. At the reception at which the painting was
presented he made a speech, it is said, that would have done credit to a
much younger man. The government offered him a special car in which
to travel from his home In Fredericton to tbe sitting of Parliament at Ot
tawa, bat he declined the offer and travelled the seven hundred miles as an
ordinary passenger. And while it may seem to the Republicans, and per
haps to some Democrats, that a younger man could have been chosen as
the running mate to Judge Parker for Vice-President, the case ot the Can
adian Senator serving at the age of one hundred should stop all the quest
ionings about our candidate's age.

GOOD COOPBRATIGN.
The Powar ef an Idea A Stcrv and
A Suggestion.
David Excelmons Cloyd.
Over a year ago Dr. Walter II. Page,
editor of The World's Work, delivered a
lecture at tbe State formal School at
Athens, Ga, on the subject, "Tbe
School that Built the Town." On that
QeTasion one of the professors at tbe
State University, which was located in
tbe same city, posted on his c'asa-rootn
dqpr, a notice dismissing hi3 clasi for
the afternoon. One of bis students,
upon seeing tbe notice on tbe door,
made inquiries concerning tbe cause of
the professor's absence, and learned
that he had gone to attend Pr. Tage's
lecture. This student hastened on
foot, for more than a mile, to the Nor
mal School that he might share with
bis prdfeSso? the benefits of the lecture.
The words of Dr. Page made a deep
impression upon the young man's
mind tbe cl6ar and forceful argument
that a school should stand for tbe best
things attainable and in every possible
way should build up and enrich the
life about itj set him thinking as noth
ing else had done. He bad attended a
country school ana had taugtu a
country school, but tbe idea had never
OfeeMrred to him thit a school could be
made to have influence Upon IhS life
of a community as tbe lecturer had
convinced him that it should have.
As be conti-uued hi 3 work at the uui
vers.ty he began planning to jo back
to his old country school after graduat
ing; and therQ to build a sebool that
would uplift tbe couutry around about
bim. His plans were not yet dear, but
the conviction deepened that some
thing could le done, aud that he was
tbe one to do it.
Then a body of eminent educators
calfae to ai 1.6ns and bSd a Coufeince
This same young man was a silent and
unobserved liatenei at the addresses aud
discussions of the conference. A great
deal was said about consolidating
schools, transporting pupils, introduc
ing industrial eoarsea into the curricu
lum. ThU was the need s'Jgg3sl;o"
t.hn vnnnc man saw the wav onen "
before bim. He would finish bis o: k
at tbe university, get bis degree, a d
then go back heme and get cba'iP I
his old Country school and there p t
Into operation all these new idtas
Commencement was soon oyer, and the
young man WaS back again at bid
father's country home. As be stood
next day thinking of tbe problem be
fore him, bis eyes fell upon the rural
free delivery mail-box by tbe roadside,
and tbe thought came to bim that
within a few minutes he cou'd deposit
there notices that would reach every
patron in the two districts that he had
decided to consolidate. A meeting
was called and tbe plan for consolida
tion was presented, committees were
put to work, subeetiuent meetings held,
and the plans finally approved.
One eehdol was abolished and united
With the school at Sandhill, a little Vil
lage of 200 inhabitants. Mr. Williams,
tbe hero of this story, was made prin
cipal of the school and two young
ladies, Misses Jitssie Swope and Nanna
line Myrick, graduates of tbe State
Normal School at Athens, were em
ployed as his assistants. A school wag
on was purchased lor fhe transporta
tion ot pupils. A farm adjacent to tbe
school grounds was rented to cover (be
extra expense of the transportation.
Five hundred dollars was raised by pri
vate subscription to pay for tbe wagon,
to increase teachers' salaries, and other
wise to improve tbe school, this meth
od of raising funds being necessary be
cause tbe state constitution practically
prohibits a local tax for school pur
poses. Arrangements were made with
tbo patron living farthest from the
school to have his two oldest boys care
for the team and transport eighteen
pupils in return for-the incidental fees
for his five children. Later another
wagon with a capacity for ten pupils,
was purchased and a student engaged
to bring pupils from another direction.
Then four buggies were offered lor
use, each carrying four pupils, thus
making a total of six vehicles in the
service ot the school for tbe transpor
tation of the forty-four pupils from tbe
more remote part of the district. The
patrons became intesely interested in
the greater opportunities which tbey
were opening up to their boys and
girls ; school opened, and within a few
days the enrollment in this central
school was more than double what it
had ever been in tbe two separate
schools. More than two hundred pu
pils were there with new life and new
hope; and groups ot parents stocd
about, each telling of what he bad
done to help tbe school, and each re
joicing in anticipation of tbe better
days that he was helping to bring to

of bis neighbor. That was what I saw
on my visit to the school. And eight
or ten of these parents followed me

with hungry attention as I talked to

Improving Cotton Seed.
Cotton Hani.
Recently much has been said by
cotton experts as to tbe deterioration
of cotton seed as tbe prime cause of de
creased production of lint. There is
not much truth in that statement.
But it is evident tbat owing to tbe plan
of ginning cotton these days seed are
pretty thoroughly mixed. But is is
not a difficult matter to improve the
seed. When a farmer decides on a va
riety that stilts him, tot bim put a
careful hand or two to picking choice
bolls from choice stalks. After he has
made tbat selection and gathered 300
or 400 pounds'orseed cotton, be will be
sure of good seed of one variety. He
may bae to wait till the ginning sea
son is nearly bvef and psrfcnps pay
something extra to have a small lot
ginned. Five hundred pounds of seed
cotton will give ten bushels of tbe se
lect seed. L?t a similar selection of
choice bolls from best stalks be made
from that crop. He wiil then I e able
to exhibit a variety ol cotton tbat is
the same thrugbout the field. It
stands to reason that improved cotton
oSod tf!H (uc'enee the jield. Well se
lected coru is better than the chattered
corn picked up in tbe bottom of the
crib. There is no reason why indus
trious, youns farmers should cot im
prove their cotton seed until select lots
will bring one dollar per bushel. There
23 A flna opportunity for a careful
young farmer to get one dollar a bush
el for choice seed instead of 25 cents
at tbe oil mills. Thoroughbred seed
of any kind will always be in demand
at a fair price.
