"OLD IRONSIDES" COMING. Famous Frigate Constitution To Be Exhibited At The Jamestown Ex position. Norfolk, Vtt., Feb. 27?A re port received from the Charles ton Navy Yard, Boston, Mass , states that the famous old sea tighter, th ?*('.,> ?dilution"h now undergoing repairs, subsequent to a visit to .1 nn 'Stown Ter Cen tennial Exp isitiou, to be held on the shores oi Hampton Iliads. The vessel has been in Charleston Nary Yard sir.-a October, 181)7, where she was towed from Ports mouth, New Hampshire, and * o.r::;u to teeny ycr.rs n git t, it will be almost midsummer before she will be able to join in the graud naval pageantry, that will be on display during the period of the Jamestown Exposition. Only structural repairs are now being mad- on the Constitution, but a movement is ou foot to collect the many Bouvenirs and equipment taken from the vessel at the various times, so that she will have as near as p issible, her orittiual appearance. The Const itution is 17.7 feet in length, an ! 42 feet in width, with a normal load draught of 1970 tons No ship of ancient or modern type has had such a glorious career as the Constitu tion. Such was the uniformity of her success that the British Admiral ty ordered that the English frig ates should not fight her uuless they metherin force. On August 19th, 1812, she fought the Uu^r riere for tour hours, leaving the latter a total wreck, which could not even be brought into port as a prize. Under Commodore Bainbridge off the coast of Brazil in December of the same year she captured the British Frigate Java after a sharp light. Again off Cape Verde Islands iu a fight that lasted less than au hour, the Constitution, under Captain Stewart, captured both the Frigate Cyane and the Sloop Lavant, although these ships were far superior to the Consti tution. In the midst of the modern war ships of the representative coun tries of the world old "Iron Sides" anchored in historic llamption Roads, will be one of the most in teresting and educational ex hibits of the exposition. FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS. Dont Use Any Remedy That Keeps Its Formula a Secret. People troubled with stomach weakness cannot afford to uso a meuioine unless they Know what it contains. Mi o iui is the one remedy for stomach troubles that publishes its formula: chemically pure bis muth subgallale, to allay any inflammation of the stomach and bowels; cerium oxalate, to strengthen the stomach nerves; sodium bi carbonate, to neutra lize the poisonous acids that are present in the stomach troubles; and nuxvoiniea, which restores vigor to the digestive organs and tones up the whole nervous system. mis conioinauon or valuable remedies is found only in Mi-ona stomach tablets, and it so rarely fails tc strengthen the digestive system, and cure even the worst form of stomach trouble, that Hood Bros. sell the remedy un- I der . guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A 50c box of Mi o-na will give quick reliof for indigestion, di* tres^ after eating, sleeplessness. | or any of the other -symptoms of i stomach troubles. Unless 't does this, the c;st is nothing. So She Did. "Last week," began the teacher, | "We took up the story of Lot] and his wife. Now, who can tell ine what Lot's wife turned to?" "Please, ma'am," said the smallest scholar, "she turned to look."?Perrine Lambert in Woman's Home Companion for January. ?Does coffee disagree with you? Probably it does! Then try l)r. Shoop's Health coffee. "Health Coffee" is a clever combination of parched cereals and nuts. Not a grain of real Coffee, remember, in Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee, yet its flavor and taste matches closely old Java and Mocha Coffee. If your stomach, heart, or kidneys can't stand Coffee drinking, try Health Coffee. It is wholesome, nourishing and eatisfying. It s nice even for the youngest child. Hold by Hood Bros. Flour! White Star Co. is the place. Geji. Beverly S. Royster. The newspaper people of the state ought not to forget (ien I Ileverl.y S. Royster, of Granville, who so eloqtieuily eulogized and defended the editors (if North Carolina from the implied charge that they were bought and own ed by the railroads He not only secured t,ne passage < f his amendment leaving the law re lating to e intrants as it now stands, but il l am mg o her ; things: "Editors cannot be bought, subsidized or muzzled They are on a higher plane Tney have I done more than any other class' |of people for North Carolina They stand for the moral uplift | | and make fewer mistakes than I any other class of our citizens."! "His tribute to the press," said , the New and Observer, "was | warm, glowing aud apprecia tive." Gen. Royster is easily a leader I in the house and one of the big gest rneu in the legislature. If there were more of him down' there, there would b? more brains mixed up witii our laws Under Gov. Aycock be was adjutant general for four yeurs. lie is a prominent Mason and has been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. He is a baptist and in his hometown! of Oxford he stands high with his j people. The most remarkable thing about him is that, although a very able lawyer with a line practice, withal a highly educated man, he never spent au hour in a college, and had to leave even the old field schools at the ageof 14. He educated himself, and is pre-eminently a selfmade man. The fifth district has no bigger, better man in it and the people over there ought to be proud of him. He is a clean, honorable, able Christian gentle man. witii the elements so mixed in him that any body can see he is a man ?Lexington Dispatch.

In a recent speech in Charlotte, Governor Glenn made the follow ing exhibit of progress for North Carolina: "We now have iu North Caro lina 3,000,000 persons, when we had otdy 5)00,000 thirty-six years ago. Cur wealth has in creased from $200,000,000 to a billion dollars; our debt has been reduced from $40,000,000 to absolutely nothing. We have $10, )00,000 assets with which to meet outstanding obligations of $0,000,000. Thirty-six years ago we had no spindles to speak of, no roads; we were known as the Kip Van Winkle State. Now all this has changed. Five years ago North Carolina stood third in cotton manufacturing in the United States; now we stanp second, and two years from now we shall be first." nut winic making progress in trade and industry, North Caro lina has been grow ing also in | education ller schools havpj kept pace with her factories, and in her public school system, as well as in her university and col- ] leges, she can make an exhibit of which any State might be proud; I and much of it is due to the en- J ergv and sacrifice of Charles D. Mclver, to whose memory a monument is s'mn to be erected. Hurrah for the Old North State. ?Richmond- Times Dispatch. Why Statesville Is Progressive. An advertiser iu the Durham Herald credits Statesville with being perhaps the most progres sive town in western North Caro hna, and assigns as a reason that "the people of Statesville stick together?they are loyal to Statesville."

This man bought a supply of tobacco with out acquainting himself with the distinctive taste of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheering qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at less expense than cheap tobacco. SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this paper so that every chewer has had an opportunity to get acquainted with the facts and know that drugs are not used to produce the cheering quality found in the famous Piedmont country flue-cured tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he ought to chew. Still there are chewers who accept other and cheaper tobaccos that do not give the same pleasure. Some day they'll get a taste of the real Schnapps?they'll realize what enjoyment they've missed by not getting SCHNAPPS long ago?then they'll feel like kicking themselves. SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5 cent cuts, and 10 and 15 cent plugs. Be sure you get the genuine. Mules For Sale!!
