What to Do. ! There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in tha hack, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp. Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, nuuicsi. ut.

OASTORZAi Be the Hw Kind You Have Always Bought pDITOI'S jEISURE J-ioUFS, OBSERVATIONS OF One of the most pleasing features of the State Democratic Convention in Greensboro last week was the strong and splendid letter of Governor Glenn to Our State's Progress for'North the convention with marked interest; but the following paragraph will etiike every North Carolinian who reads it : "A distinguished congress man from another State, in a recent speech, said, that In the last five years in agricultural, industrial, educational and moral development the per centage of increase bad been greater in North Carolina than in any other State, and to verify this statement one only needs to study rendered facts." tut Only thirty years ago was the firnt telephone operated at Philadelphia. Its growth has been wonderful. People had had the telegraph, we believe, . . only a little more than thirty years then ; and Growth ofthe Telephone . ,. P , . ' ' , when the first words were heard over the tele phone doubtless no one thought that Ijy this time people would be able to" talk .to each other in audible voice, known and recognized, from lakes to gulf and from sea to sea. We need wonder no longer at the great strides scienoe and human effort are making ; and we need not try to foretell the limit of these things. Recently a man sailed about Washington City In a flying machine with as much ease and directed it with as much certainty as a man can drive a gentle buggy horse over the best roads in Halifax county. Hush up that prophecy that we have about reached the limit of achievement. We have really just commenced and the end is far out of sight, hid away behind the hills of the future. t t The Charlotte News in quoting the foliowing !ri Negroes (Mg So?. veloped resources; forsaking the land of promise, and are fast migrating to the North. Forty years ago only 7.8 per cent, of the total number of ne groes in this country were to be found in the North. Or to make it more comprehensive, 350.000. To-day 10 3 per cent, are living in the North, or 1,000,000. Thene figures show a remarkable tendency towards the transfer of the race problem from South to North. The people of the North in the past have been most bitter in their condemnation of the Southerners for their fancied maltreatment of the negroes." Then the News quotes exact ly what the Philadelphia Ledger says about the matter and thinksit incon sistent with past contentions of the northern people. The Ledger said : "The black man is not as well regarded by us as he was a while ago. Northern opinion of him has passed from good will to suspicion and dis like. The spectre of the race question has shown its head. The figure of the negro highwayman, ruffian and degenerate has become familiar, and the disposition Is generally to conclude that the black man is in the mass irreclaimable and dangerous." tut - The Commonwealth has more thin once given expression to the opinion that there is good reason for continuing our representatives in Congress Long Terms in Congress are good County News prints a clear editorial on this subject to which we give space in this column. It says : "Every Democrat in the State should congratulate himself upon the unanimity with which the congressional conventions, with one exception, have renominated our present Represen tatives in congress. We have an able delegation, most of whom have now been in congress long enough to wield influence with their brother rep resentatives in the shaping of legislation, and the longer we continue them in the House the greater will be that influence with their fellows, and the more good they will be able to do their constituency and the people of the State at large. It has been said that it takes a Representative in Con gress four years to learn the "ropes" so as to be able to do anything for his people. This is doubtless only too true and accounts for the little influence North Carolina has exerted on National legislation since the war, as it has been our custom almost Invariably to retire our representatives at the end of four years or just at the time when they begin to become useful, and put new men in to serve their probationary period, and likewise turn them out also ; hence, our State has playad a poor part in the National House of Representatives for the last forty years. What we need in con gress is seasoned men, who go there from year to year, and by long ex perience and contact and association with great men, become great and able men themselves. Our people have evidently awakened to this fact, as they have returned almost the entire delegation, all of whom bag served two terms and some three and four. And, by the way, this Is a delegation of strong men the strongest we have had in congress in a generation. And such men as our own Bob Page, Small, Thomas, the Kitchlns, Pou, Webb and Patterson have grown strong in congress and the longer we keep them there the more they can do for us. The custom in the North is to keep their Representatives in office for long terms, hence their grBat influence with their fellows. The quicker we adopt the long term plan the sooner the influence of our memtjers will be felt."

Washington Psst. The following has an extra interest in that it comes from Cincinnati. "Why Men Stay away From Church as Told by Themselves," was the sub ject of an address delivered before a meeting-of ministers of the Presby tearlan church to-day by the' Rev Charles E. Walker, of Htrtwell. The Rev. Walker made an extensive c in vass of church absentees by mail, asking why i'uey stayed awav from ser vices. Each of those who answered, he said, gaye one or more of the fol lowing excuses : 1. Work six days and reserve Sun day for recreation. z. Church members too cold to make him feel welcome. 3. Church members do not show a willingness to pay debts. 4. Preachers sermons are ancient and uninteresting. 5. Too many hypocrites In the church. xne dispatcn does not give tne an swer made by the llev. Walker to these five explanations. As a non-ec clesiaetical publication, however, the Times ventures the following : 1. Why not try the recreation of a service at church? There is more reft in the right kind of a church than there is in the best front porch that ever was built. 2. Why not try setting an example fto the cold church members? That's what they eeem to need most. 3 Why blame the church especial ly because some of its members do not pxy their debts? The church is no worse in that respect than any other human institution. 4. Why not suggest subiects to the preacher? II he is like the men who make newspapers he will welcome them as so much stock in trade, few sermons will be dry if you suggest the text. 5. Why not swell the rauks of the non-hypocrites? It cannot possibly be that this objection is only a sub terfuge. These answers are not offered with any thought of meeting 'all the objec tions that can be made to going to church. They are designed to show merely how fatuous a thing it is lo excuse your own shortcomings by the faults of other people. Cotton in Gaorgia. The Atlanta Constitution of July 4th gave the following item concern ing the cotton crop in Georgia : "Conservative estimates rate the growing cotton crop as damaged by the excessive rains which prevailed about the middle of June to the extent of from 15 to 25 per cent. "The heavy rainfall at that time beat down the young plant, and it is reported from the middle section of Georgia that it has but slightly recov ered from the effects of the rains. At an inter-county cotton convention held last week in Glascock county, it was reported by growers from ten con tiguous counties that the crop was poorer and the plant smaller than bad been noted lor years at this season. In this section of the state the plant has turned red and yellow, and the stalk appears to be smaller than it was be fore the rains set in. The peospects right now are that the yield will be less per acre than it has been for years. "In the southwestern portion of the state the crop is reported to be heavily in grass, cultivation of the growing plant having been checked in the early and middle part of the month by excessive rains, and labor is insufficient to properly overcome this condition, the sun and the warm night causing the grass to grow more rapidly than does the plant. In other sections of the state, where the rains were unusually heavy and destructive, it is estimated that not more than half a crop will be realized this year, and the crop is reported to be a late one.
