Stomach Troubles i Cured by Vinol HERE IS PROOF ?? I suffered so long from stomach trouble and indigestion, that I lost flesh rapidly?VINOL cured me after everything else had failed.

W. e. Waterhouse, Portland, Me. Mr. Thos. G .Wallace, of Detroit, Mich., writes, "I suffered for years from a chronic stomach trouble. VINOL entirely cured me after everything else had failed.''

"MY BLOOD IN FINE CONDITION" Every sufferer from Blood Poison should ! read what Mrs. CI. F. Medlln, of Weldon, ! N. C.. says of her experience: "I was a terrible sufferer from lllood l'oison. If the skin would be broken, the flesh would be- i come inflamed, itch and burn, and develop . into sores. Before the birth of one of my children, my whole body became fearfully swollen, and 1 was in a serious condition generally. I used Mrs. Joe Person's Rem- I edy and it cured me. My blood is in fine condition. I believe if it had not been for | Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy I would have died. Its value i6 priceless."

POE WRITES FROM ASIA ON TEMPERANCE. Mr. Clarence H. Poe, who U now traveling in Asia, writes to The Pro gressive Farmer, suggesting some ; things he would like to see the leg- { Islature do. On the subject of tern- 1 perance, he says: "May I not urge that there should be no let-up in our determination to minimize the whiskey evil in North Carolina? Fiercer and stronger year by year must grow the gtuggle for the mastery among the peoples of the earth, and other things being equal, the prize of victory must go 6ooner or later to those who have kept their bodies strongest, freest from every enervating influence, and their brains clearest, least befog ged by any dulling agency. Awaken ing China, over here, realizing this, has set herself first of all, to free her people from the ancient curse of opium?the form of intemperance to which they have been addicted? and already she has achieved results that have amazed the world. Shall It be said that the yellow man in j China is able to overcome influences i that the white man in the South is unable to cope with? "I make my appeal, be it under ? stood, on no sentimental grounds. Th ; fact stands out unshaken that if [ North Carolina is to become the great State I long to see her ' be come, her people must have trained minds, strong bodies, and brains un befogged by dissipation. Let us see to it that the Japanese shall not beat us in providing educational op portunities for the Tising generations and at the same time let us see to j it that the Chinese shall not beat us in fighting the influences that sap | the strength and weaken the vital ity of peoples." Work For the Legislature. We can not forbear calling atten tion here to one much needed mea sure of practical, constructive legis lation: better laws against the start ing of forest fires, and the establish ment of a State forest fire-warden system. We have called attention before to the necessity of having a body of men whose business and du ty it is to prevent and put out for est fires. In no other way can the wanton destruction of the forests be prevented. The experience of States where these wardens have been tri ed is the best proof of their value; and as we have said before, to leave the forests unprotected simply be cause it will cost a little to pay men to look after them, is not econ omy, but short-sighted and ruinous parsimony. The forests of the State are one of its greatest resources, and they must be taken care of. Few finer opportunities for public ser- j vice, in our opinion, are open to j the members of the Legislautre, and I we confidently expect to see them take action. Farmers everywhere should insist that they do. The State Forester, Mr. J. S. Holmes, has drafted a bill which will be pre sented, and which legislators can study with profit. To such a mea sure we can not see how any man claiming to be a "conservationist" can object.?The Progressive Farmer. Better Roads the Slogan. For new roads and more of them, is the slogan of the new national as sociation to further the cause of high way improvement, which was organ ized recently in Washington, and which has begun its work in a very systematic way to correlate and co ordinate the effort of all existing agencies for highway improvement. The new organization has the best wishes of the American citizenship. Its slogan is a good one, and that it will live up to it is the universal hope. As the newly organized Ameri can Association for Highway Improve ment points out, "improved roads will bring better schools and great er attendance, better health and quicker medical attention, better farms ajid more cultivated land, bet ter crops and cheaper transportation, better economic conditions and more producers, better social conditions and less isolation, better church at tendance and better citizens.?Greene ville (S.

Elkins, of West Virginia, removes from public life a man who has been a prominent figure In national politics for the past two de cades. He was Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President Benja min Hariison, and entered the United States Senate in 1895. He was 69 years old and was a millionaire. The present legislature of West Virginia is Democratic. It will choose a sue-1 cessor to Senator Scott for the full term of six years. It will also se lect a Senator to fill the unexpired term of Senator Elkins. So West Virginia will have two Democratic, Senators for the next two years at least. ? ? ? 'Judge Neff, who has Just conclud- , ed a term of Court at Cleveland, Oh io, granted 428 decrees for divorce during the term. This is for only one County?Cuyahoga. Judge Neff *ays that the high prices, small ln j c omes, and the desire to keep up ap pearances and satisfy social ambi tion, are in a large measure respon sible for the increased number of divorces. Many are the evils that are laid at the door of High Prices. ? ? ? Atlee -Pomerene will be the new Senator from Ohio, having been chosen for the term of six years, be ginning March 4th next. He was elected Lieutenant-Governor last No vember and assumed his office Mon day which he will hold until March 4th. He has never held office be fore and Jumps from almost political obscurity to a seat in the United States Senate. He is 47 years old and was educated at Princeton Uni versity. He will succeed Senator Charles Dick. ? ? ? ' For the first time in thirty years Maine has a Democratic Governor and the General Assembly which con vened last week is Democratic in both branches for the first time In over half a century. The Legisla ture has named Charles F. Johnson to succeed Eugene Hale in the Uni ted States Senate. Mr. Johnson will be the first Democrat to represent Maine in the Senate since 1847. Mr. Johnson is a prominent citizen of the Pine Tree State and has been the unsuccessful nominee of his party twice for Governor?in 1892 and again in 1894. ? * ? A few months ago Judge Simeon R. Baldwin, Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Connecticut, was re tired from the bench on account of | having reached the age limit. Though | he is about seventy-five years old, the j Democrats of his State thought that they saw in him a winner and nam ed him as their candidate for Govern or. He was successful at the polls 1 and was last week inaugurated as Chief Executive of the Nutmeg State. He is the first Democrat to get to the Governor's chair in 18 years. * * f The question of state-wide prohibi-1 tion is one of the livest questions be-1 fore the public to-day. In Texas a 1 bill will be passed by the present | Legislature submitting the question to a vote of the people. In Arkan- ' sas the question Is in the very fore- i front and a bill will soon be intro- 1 duced in the Legislature to submit1 the issue to a vote of the people. In ' Alabama where they already have state-wide prohibition, an effort , will be made to return to the old | local option plan. Governor-elect O'Neal, who will be inaugurated next Monday, will recommend the latter policy, this being the platform upon which he was elected.

SCOTT & BOWNE. 409 Pearl St. Stw York ?-???-??? A Good Woman Gone. Mrs. Sallle A. Eason departed this life about two o'clock on the morn ing of January 4, 1911. She was the oldest daughter of the late Josiah and Jane Barnes. She was born in Wllders township, Johnston County, near Archer, December 9, 1847, making her stay on earth 64 years and 29 days. She was married Jan uary 8. 1880, to William Bryant Eas on. To this union was born one son, formerly of Richmond, Va., but who was with his mother several weeks before her death. Mrs. Eas on united herself with the Primi tive Baptist church at Salem about the date, 1888, and was a regular at tendant so long as her health would admit. Mrs. Eason was a very deli cate woman and a great sufferer for many years; although she bore her bufferings with great fortlutde and 1 kept up until about six months ago, ] "vhen taken with the dreadful dis ease, dropsy. Everything was done that kind friends, the best physician and a loving husband and son could do to stay tho cold hand of death, but the Lord's appointed time had come, and none could stay the mighty hand of death. Mrs. Eason was of a gentle and mild disposition. To know her. was to love her. Although feeble, she was always alert to look after the comforts of those about her. She loved her church and al ways attended as long as health would permit. Truly a good woman is gone, but the Lord giveth and the Lord tak eth away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Mrs. Eason leaves, be sides a husband and son, one sister, Mrs. R. II. Green, and two brothers, Mr. A. M. Barnes and ex-Represen tative J. W. Barnes, and a host of sorrowing relatives and friends to mourn their loss, which is her eter nal gain. Her remains were laid to rest at her home on the evening of January 5, In the presence of a large crowd. We extend our sympathy to the be reaved. Peace to her ashes. J. H. Stancill.
