Eiin Mm His Ovi Dictor
The average man cannot afford
to employ a physician for every
slight ailment or injury that may
occur in his family, n r can he
afford to neglect them, as so slight
an injury as the scratch of a pin
has been known to cause the loss
of a limb. Hence every man
must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class ot ailment.
Success often .depends upon
prompt treatment which can only
be had when suitable medicines
ar| kept at hand. Chamberlain's
Remedies have been in the market
for many years and enjoy a good
reputation.
Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy tor bowel com
plaints.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing cough.
| * Chamberlain's Pain Balm (an
antiseptic liniment) for cuts,
braises, bonis, sprains, swellings,
lame back and rheumatic pains.

'.'The bee is a queer sort of nn
insect, that gives people a few
points that they don't appreciate.
The queen bee bosses the hive

The drone I>e* is like pa He don't

are the kissing bees. There is a
kissing bee in our parlor every
Sunday night, and I get a nickel
not to te4l about it. When it
comes to a choice of bees give me
a kissing bee every time."—Chi

••The Valuable doobra."
To the farmers of Martin County,
tbe peanut crop is au item of vast
importance. They have begun to
realize that of all crop® produced,
it is the most valuable when con
sidering it also as a forage plant
and a producer of the farmers
"country home." But there are
many farmers who raise it only in
small quantities and in some sec
tions the average is very small.
This condition sliould not exist. It
is well knowu that Martin County
lias the largest market in the
world for the big peanut. With
local facilities for handling the
crop, the revenue will l>e greater
to the people.
The following taken from the
News & Olwerves of recent date,
{lves an. interesting idea of the
(Jiice the "goober" holds in the
market of the world, and of North
Carolina's supremacy iu the pro
bation of it;
"North Carolina leads the States
of the Union in the peanut output,
ptoducitig one-third of the crop.
Virginia is a close second, and is
sjiven cridit for another third of
production. The remainder of the
crop is given in Georgia, Alabama
and Florida. Tlie cultivation of
peanuts is considered very profita
ble, and by reason of the growing
demand for th* product the govern
ment is urging an increase of acre
age in tlie peanut belt. In this con
conuection the goverment publica
says: Tlie increase in the imports
of peanuts which has taken place
during the last year makes the
conditions of the world production
and trade of practical importance
to the fai mers of certain sections
iu this country "
America is one of the few coun
tries that look upon the peanut as
a luxury. The French who are
the greatest promoters, employ the
"goober" for the extraction ot oil
In fact, several countries class pea
nuts in their trade statistics with
seeds or raw products for use in
manufactures. No man hasVdone
more to boom the peanut as a lux
ury than the late Bishop Lyman, of
North Carolina, a distinguished
Episcopal clergyman, who declar
ed that the "goober" is good for
insomnia. The cultivation and con
sumption of the peanut began to
grow with that famous declaration
some twenty years ago.
Prices of peanuts have also
greatly advanced in the foreign
markets, the average valuation of
imported peanuts, based uj>on
wholesale prices in the markets
from which they are sent to the
United States, having advanced
from i.t cents per pound in 1898
to 3.4 cents per pound in 1907. for
those in the natural state, and that
of shelled peanuts imported in
IHI/8 was 2.4 cents i>er pound, and
in 1907 5 4 cents.
The sti iking feature of our own
trade in peanuts is the rapid growth
iu importations. The quality im
porter! a decade ago, in the fiscal
vear 1897 was less thau 150,000
pounds: in 1902 over one million;
in 1905 more than five millions;
and in 1907 seems likely to he
about twelve million pounds, of
which about one-fourth represents
shelled and three-fourths uushelled
peanuts, the value-being, as al>ove
atated, approximately a half mill
ion dollars for the present fiscal
year, while that of exports will lie
over one-quarter of a million
dollars."
Bill Nye's Cow Advertisement.
Bill Nye, the humorist, once had'
a cow to sell, the story goes, and
advertised her as follows: "Owing
to my ill health, I will sell at tuy
resideuce in township 19. range
18, according to the government
survey, one plush rasberry cow,
age 8 years. She is of undoubted
courage and gives milk frequently.
To a man who does not fear death
iu any form she would be a great
boo*. She is very much attached
to her present home with a stay
chain, but she will be sold to any
one who will sgree to tteat her
right. She is one-fourth Short
horn and three-fourths hyena. I
will also throw in a double-barrel
shot gun, which goes with her. In
May she usually goes away for a
week or ijyo and returns with a tall
red calf with wabbly legs, Her
name is Rose. I would rather sell
her to a non-resident "
Mr. Bryan's declaration that
there should be no quarrel among
people with a common purpose in
life may encourage Mr. Carnegie a

Rest Your Heart
"Rest your heart now and then
during the day," said an instruc
tor in gymnastics.
' But the heart can't be rested,"
a pupil cbjected. "It works in
cessautly from birth till death."
"It rests the heart to lie down,"
Said the instructor,
"Kvery night's rest of nine hours
saves the heart of the lifting of
32,400 ounces of blood. Consider
able rest there, eh?
"When we lie down the hearts
action becomes slower —slower by
ten strokes a minute. Thus, in an
hour 600 strokes are saved, and in
nine hours 5,400 strokes. Bach
stroke pumps six ounces of blood,
and therefore, in nine hours the
heart is saved the labor of pumping
32,400 ounces.
"The heart often requires a rest,
and men generally would rest if
they knew how. But most men
think, like you, that such a thiug
is an impossibility, A great mis
take.
