With the constant demand in the
large cities for increased wages, the
attack made on President Wilson by
his presidential opponent, on the Adam
son law, that settled the railroad strike,
that this law was unpopular, is not get
ting Mr. Hughes anywhere. The labor
ing man is with Wilson, believing that
if he can settle so huge a thing as the
railroad strike, which would have tied
up the entire country, he can aid labor
in other walks of life.
Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, seems to be making little
or no impression upon : his -audiences.
His attack upon the tariff in his Pitts
burg speech on Wednesday night fell
flat. The argument advanced that pros
perity was merely a fleeting shadow,
and would not endure after Europe was
at peace, did not have sufficient sub
stance to be convincing, and since all
the mills in the Pittsburg district are
working full shifts, and at good wages,
the Republican nominee created little
enthusiasm.
There has been many rumors as to
the German submarine Bremen, which,
for the past two months has been doe
to. arrive in American waters,, but to
the present, no sign of her arrival at
any of our ports has been: given.. The
Berlin papers of Thursday issued en
thusiastic announcements that the Bre
men had arrived at New London, Conn.,
which caused no little flutter among
the daily papers of the' North, until it
was found that there- was no truth to
the story. The Bremen: sailed early
in August, and is said to have been
sighted numerous times. A diamond
merchant gave out the information that
shfc had been captured with $25,000,000
worth of diamonds and other valuables
and taken to an English port, but this
report never received the confirmation
of the English authorities so that theory
was dropped. The most likely thing
is that the giant submersible has gone'
to the bottom.
One of the most impMit features
of our community life, and of which
little is heard, is the local building and
loan association. Inaugurated for the
benefit of the people just four years
ago, it has proved its value to this com
munity, and in a quiet way is going
ahead helping those who need to build
homes. A man's home is his castle, it
is said, and truly, for every Ameri
can likes to know that he at least owns
the home he lives in. Probably few
know that the building and loan asso
ciation of this town has loaned out
between seventy and eighty thousand
dollars every dollar of which means
improved conditions in the town.
an increased population. It is certain
that our mills are keeping in line with
the progress that is being made else
where in the State and in the South.
It would probably be well if our citi
zens would acquaint themselves with the
vast improvements that are going on
in their midst, and what these im
provements will ultimately mean to the
community. We know, of course, that
sewerage, water and drainage is be
ing installed, for we see evidences on
the streets of pipes, ditches and un
sightly mounds where the ditch has been
hurriedly filled in and left im very un-!
satisfactory condition, kut has the
majority of our citizens been over on j
the East Side and noted the improve- ;
ments going on in the mill district ? j
These new buildings mean betterment j

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Gone to Rescue.
Catron, Ky. In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows : "1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side;
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me i for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seeme d to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 56
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
