Shattered Nerves and WeaK Heart. Too Nervous to Sleep or Rest. Dr.Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. A shattered nervous system nearly always leads to some aBectiou of the heart, espec ially where the patient's heart is weak from hereditary or other causes. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is not only a great heart regulator, but it is a blood tonic which speedily corrects and regulates the heart's action, enriches the blood and improves the circulation. It will l uildyou up just as it did Mr. Crawford whose letter follows, and greatly improve your general health: "I have been so greatly benefited by Dr. lilies' Nervine and Heart Cure that I freely recommend them as the best remedies for the diseases they are recommended to cure. When I bepan taking these medicines I weighed scarcely 140 pounds, my nerves were badly shattered and my heart troubled me a great deal. I had pun in my left arm and shoulder, had difficulty in sleeping on r:iy left side, had frequent smothering spells and my heart would flutter and palpitate. I could eat scarcely any kind of food without suffering great distress, and was so restless r.nd r.erve.us that I slept little night or day. Now I am never bothered with my heart, my nerves are steady as a die, I sleep well, eat well and weigh 163 pounds. 1 am happy now and am trying to make back the money I spent for doctors who did me no good while I was ill."

T)EV. A. H. Moment, D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church in Raleigh, contributed to last week's Biblical Recorder an able paper on "The American Saloon and its Substitutes." He discussed at length the various substitutes for the saloon and closed with the following eloquent plea for prohibition : ' A third substitute is prohibition. If the saloon is an unmitigated eyil, as the Protestant church of America declares it to be ; as its educational in fluence proves it to be, and as every fact in connection with it clearly shows, then the dispensary system, the respectable saloon idea of Earl Gray and Bishop Potter, the high license plan and every other such device, do nothing more than haggle at the bark cf this upas tree of iniquity, and here and there lop off a branch, while the thing that ought to be done, and must be done, is to gkdle the tree and cut it down ! Nothing can do this but prohibition ! High license has been tried with an absolute failure. The respectable saloon is a name without a significance. The d'spensary is just better than nothing. But the temperance forces of this State and nation never intend throwing away the whole right wing of the army. Tell me I'm trying to skate on ice that is too thin? Tell me that while prohibition is a good thing there are too many difficulties in its way? 'My answer is, that men and women who have hearts illuminated by the Sun that burst's forth from every page of the New Testament, are not in the habit of avoiding difficulties 1 Prohibition is the watch-word and battle cry of these determined temperance workers ; and their banner shall yet float victoriously upon every State-house of this American Republic ! The younger Pliny, that immortal orator and author of old, "aused it 10 be re corded for future generations to read, that for 600 years after the founding of Rome there had been no crime of parricide among the people ; that for 600 years the Latin language had no word for the crime ; and that, after so long a time, when the awful deed had been committed, Rome passed a ter rible law, the main purpose of which was to be prohibitory. The law said : 'Every one guilty of parricide fehall be flogged with a whip, then sewed up in a sack with a dog, a cock, a viper and an ape, and cast headlong into the sea.' It is the saloon that is the parricide of the American peo ple ; it murders fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, wives and chil dren, friends and neighbors ! Nothing but the most strenuous law can cope with this great criminal of the nation." t t t t "Three-Score and Ten." fTlHIS is the subject of a series of papers to be furnished the Biblical Re corder by Dr. J. D. Hufham. Perhaps no man in North Corolina is better fitted for giving a review of half a century of the State's history than Dr. Huibam ; aud the thousands of citizens in the State who love and admire him will deem it a rare pleasure and a great blessing to have tho privilege of reading this brilliant series of papers from his strong and facile pen. Writing for the Biblical Recorder, one of the leading denomination al papers of the Baptists of this State and the South, the work will be of peculiarly Keen interest to the Baptist denomination ; but so well known is Dr. Hufham to all denominations in every part of the State, the work will tie of general interest especially so since it is well known that all his life he has kept in touch with men and things outside the Christian min istry. The closing paragraph of the first paper, which appeared In last week's Biblical Recorder, U particularly striking. Here it is : "In IS65 the great structure which it bad taken two centuries to build was a splendid ruin. Four years bad sufficed for its destruction. Practi cally North Carolina no longer existei as a State ; it was only a military district, one of a number of conquered provinces. The descendants of the men who bad founded and built it, in whose hearts was the spirit and in their veins the blood of the heroes of Moore's Creek and Ramseur's mill, King's Mountain and Guilford Courthouse, strove gloriously but yainly to preserve and perpetuate it. North Carolina as it existed at the beginning of 1861 had filled its place in the plans of an all-wise Providence and was readyto pass away. Through forty years the people have been engaged in building a ne? Commonwealth, mainly outof the debris of the old. It is too early to forecast their work. When a friend was congratulating Mao aulay on the great popularity of his history, he asked, 'What will 1900 say?' And wo may ask with reference to the work which has been done since 1865, which is still going on, 'What will 2061 eay?' Thug far, in spite of the mistases which are incident to every human undertaking, the builders have done wisely and well ; and the old man who loves his native State may feel confident that when his eyes look upon it for the last time they shall behold a Commonwealth which in population and wealth, in wise laws faithfully administered, in general intelligence and prosperity, in all the elements which make for truth and righteousness, surpasses that of which he is so proud, for which he has not yet ceased to grieve. To have lived through the period of which we are now treating, to have drunk its spirit, to have had personal knowledge of many of the leaders, and to have borne an humble part in its activities and achievements, are thingi to be thankful for. To write of it will be pleasant. If the writing shall inter est those for whom it is intended, it will help to assure me that life ha been worth living. If it shall fail to interest, the man who writes for the newspapers always has this advantage he can stop." THE SUNSHINE OF SPRING. The Salve that cures without a scar is DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

Atkinsont in Christian Sum It may be of interest to some to know that the real inventor of the steamboat was not Robert Fulton, but John Finch who was born at South Windsor, Conn., January 19, 1743. And it is doubtful if history has a sad der page than that on which the life, struggles and death of this strange, poor mail are recorded. A bard-beat ted, close-fisted father, and an eider brother of the same char acter, made the boyhood life of poor John one loug day of grief, deprivation and humiliation. Attaining his ma jority, he learned the trade of watch making and settled in Trenton, N. J. The war cf the Revolution breaking out, he became a gunsmith, making arms for the defenders of his country until the .British destroyed his shop. He then entered the army in time to suffer the horrors of Valley Forge. From the army he went ab:ut in the country a tinker ot clocks and watches, but in 1780 was sent by Virginia as deputy surveyor to the then wilds of Kentucky. In the west he was cap tured by the Indians and kept a year before be could escape. In poverty and want he returned and settled in Warminster, Pa. It was at this place and period of his life that the idea of using steam as'a motive power for ve hicles and, boats took hold ot him. He made a model of a steamboat identical in principle with that which has now become universal in practice. He went to Philadelphia and there con structed a steam engine, with a three- inch cylinder, and applied the same to skiff. An authentic historian re cords : "This was without doubt the first steamboat ever constructed by man." Vainly did Fine happeal to the Continental Congress, the Assembly of Pennsylvania, and the learned and wealthy men of bis day. Time went by and Finch got the reputation of be icg'a crazy man. He finally formed a small company who reluctantly fur nished the means to build a small boat 45 feet long, 12 feet beam, 1 inch cyl inder engine. .The inventor agreed that this boat should make 8 miles an hour. August 27, 1787, the boat made her trial trip on the Delaware, and was successful. The members of the Consti tution Convention with George Wash ington at its head adjourned on Invita tion and went down to see the strange invention on its first voyage. The members shook their wise heads, left the crezy man with his craft, and went back to building the ship of State. A regular packet line with sched ule was established on the Del aware ana was maintained lor about three years. But the steamboat business was not a financial success, and Finch's boat was finally wrecked in a storm. From it the inventor went forth penniless and a beggar. After wandering in this country and in Eu rope.to find financial support for his steamboat scheme, and finding none, he again wandered into the far West Kentucky. There in a little room of tavern in Bardstown, with not a penny in tt,e world, prematurely old from despair and struggle, bis clothes worn to tatters and rags, his face wrinkled and haggard, on the night of July 2, 1798, he lifted a cup of poison to his lips, quaffed the deadly potion and lay down, unhonored and unwept, to die. No stone marks his grave and his last resting place is now obscure. Here are the words be left in a letter : The day will come when some more powerful man will get fame and riches from my invention ; but nobody will believe that poor John Finch can do anything worthy of attention." Rob ert Fulton in the 19ib century made the steamboat a success ; John Finch in the lStb century invented it and diedfa pauper and a suicide. Moral: This world does not always rightly bestow its honors. GIVE YOUR STOMACH A REST. Your food must be properly digest ed and asaimilated to be ot any value to you. If your stomach is weak or diseased take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and giyes the stomach a rest, enabling it to recuper ate, take on new life and grow strong again. Kodol cures sour stomach, gas, bloating, heart palpitation and all di gestive disorders. L. A. Soper, of Lit- tte RockKy., writes ua : "We feel that Kodol Dyspepsia Cure deserves all tbe commendation that can be given it, as it saved tbe life of our little girl when she was three year old. She Is now six and we have kept it for her con stantly, but, of course, she only takes it now when anything disagrees with her." Sold by E. T.

How the South May Gain Her Lost Prestige. Gov. Charles B. Ay cock, at Southern Educational Association. Before the war between tbe States, Southern statesmen directed the poli cies of the nation and filled the largest place in the eye of .the people. They wrote few books, but their speeches il luminated every subject which they touched and set tbe fashion of political thought. In this day it is net too much to say that what any Southern man thinks of political, questions of governmental duty carries no weight in their final settlement. There must be a cause underlying this fact. What is it? Ilowjsh all it be remedied? Un til 1865 tbe Southern States, while in forma Democrst'c government, were in fact, an aristocracy and out of that aristocracy they chose as aristocrats ever do their best men for public ser vice. Tbe wisest, 'the strongest, tbe most learned were ever to tbe front were the natural leaders of a brave and generous 'people' who followed their leadership with pride and pleasure. With tbe close of the war tba Democ racy arose and each man became a fac tor in the government of his country. Leadership was not so able or cuitu.tJ. More blunders were committed and more unwise views propagated anr! be lieved in. Aristocracy was aUays trained. Democracy, if it is to be ef fective, must likewise be trained. Universal education is, therefore, tbe imperative and only remedy for our loss of power In the nation. Beautiful eyes and handsome face are eloquent commendations.
