Consumption
Cheoked and In Early
Stages, Cured by
MILAM
the great
Reconstructive
tonio and blood
renovater
We do not set forth MILAM as a Cur®
for consumption, but it hag proven so bene
ficial to such patients that we bclievej and
aie supported in our belief by a practicing
physician, that MILAM will arreit incip
ient tuberculosis or consumption in its early
stages. We know that it greatly benefit* :
even those in the advanced stages.
Read the following
Scrofulltic Consumption
City of Danville, State of Virginia—To-witi
1, Kdmund B. Meade, Notary Public in
and for the City of Danville, State of Vir
ginia, do hereby certify that Abram Word,
of Danville, Va., to me well known, did ap
pear before me, and being duly sworn, de
poeeth and says as follomi
"For ten years prior to August, 1909, I
was under tne care of a regular physician,
l.ast spring this doctor told me ha could do
me no good, and I tried another for tour
months without receiving any benefit from
him.
In August, 1909, I began taking Milam,
and am now able to do my work without
difficulty, my appetite is good, and I can
eat and digest any food.
My trouble was said to be Scrofulitic
Consumption, and I was wasted away to a
shadow. I was so weak that I could hard
ly walk when I commenced on MILAM.
I regard MILAM as a truly valuable reme
dy in all cases of blood trouble, whether
eruptive, or proceeding from a lack of full,
free circulation.
I have recommended MILAM to about
twenty of my friends, and so far as I hsve
seen or heard from them, they all spesk in
the highest terms of It, and are recommend
ing it io their friends.
It was particularly beneficial to me In aid
ing digestion and building up an appetite."

SOME INDUSTRIES
OF NORTH STATE
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONEB
ARE THOSE OF COTTON, TO
BACCO AND LUMBER.
THE STATISTICS ARE GIVEN
Fourth Most Important Induatry la
That of Extracting Oil From Cotton
Beed or Refining Crude Cotton Seed
Oil—This Induatry on Increase.
Charlotte.—The three great manu
facturing Industries in North Carolina
are those of cotton, tobacco an 1* lum
ber. In 1909, as shown by the ceneuj
of 1910, they gave employment to t'»,-
435 wage earnersrthelr products were
valued at f142,192,000, tbe raw mate
rial was valued at 176,038,000 and the
value added by manufacturing was
$67,164,000, the three representing
very nearly 66 per cent of the total
value of all the manufactured products
In North Carolina.
The fourth most Important manu
facturing Industry In North Caroliua,
as shown by the report of the United
States Census Bureau, Is that which
la primarily engaged in extracting
oil from cotton seed or In refining
crude cotton seed oil. The statistics
given for oil, cotton seed and rake
show that In the five years, 1904-19>9.
the percentage of Increase In the
value of the products of the business
was greater than any other of the Im
portant Industries of the state, reach
ing $8,504,000. In 1909 It became the
fourth of the Important Industries of
the state, passing the flour and jrlst
mills and the furniture Industries,
which In 1904 had been In the fourth
and fifth places.
The large Increase In the value of
the products was due In part to the
rise in value of crude cotton seed oil,
yet the Industry Is one that Is grow
ing year by year outside of this rise
In price. Iq 1909 there were 53 estab
lishments engaged In the business,
with 1,165 employes, the value added
by manufacture being $1,414,000, show
ing the value of the raw material to
have been $7,000,000, the value ot the
product having been $8,604,000.
Views of North Carolina,
"Picturesque North Carolina" will
be th«« subject of a new moving pic
ture that will soon be made and plac
ed on view. It la the purpose of tht
promoters of the enterprise to visit
many of the scenic points of Interest
in the various parts of the state, in
cluding Cape Hatteras, Klttyhawk,
Nags Head, and other places on the
coast. Bath, the oldest town In the
state, the rice and truck farms around
Wilmington, the piedmont country, the
mountains, Blowing Hock, Toxaway,
Ashevllle, Waynesvllle, and the Van
derbilt estate at Blltmore. The pic
ture will be about 1,000 feet In length.
A soon as It Is finished, It will be
showp In Charlotte and then sent
throughout the state.
Politics In Surry County.
Politics are beginning to be whis
pered a little on the streets and pub
lic places, but no far it Is hard to
And out much about who's who or
what's what. Ex-Judge George P.
Veil is the choice of our people for
corporation commissioner. For United
States senator, the wishes of our peo
ple are protty well divided now be
tween Simmons, Clark and Kltchln,
with the chances In Simmons' favor,
ahhough It will take a primary to Bet
tie it. As to the governor, no name
Is mentioned In connection therewith,
save that of Craig.
Undergoing General Resllnement.
The contest In North Carolina Dem
ocratic ranks over the United States
senatorship Involving the seat held
the past two terms by Senator F.
Simmons Is undergoing a general re
allnement since the tragic death of
former Clovornor Chas. —Br - Aycock,
whose candidacy was looming up
omenously for the other three candi
dates Simmons, Governor W. W.
Kltchln and Chief Justice Walter
Clark, of the supreme court.
Quick Campaign To Raise Funda.
Then is to be a quick campaign In
raising the needed funda to erect a
statue In honor of the memory of
Charlea Brantley Aycock, North Caro
lina's beloved son, who lately "fell on
sleep." Steps were taken In the mat
ter Immediately after the adjournment
of the Aycock memorial meeting,
when the executive committee of the
Aycock Memorial Aaaoclatlon met and
determined to proceed at once with
plans for organisation of Aycock
Monument Associations In every sec

The launching on Irwin's creek,

their value, tht movement means the
abolition of the mosquito and therefore
the substantial betterment of l~Mlth

NORTH CAROLINA^ WINS CASE
Ths Com mere# Court DKMN With
ttw State In (te Rat* Contention
Against ths Railroads.
Raleigh.—The United States Su
preme Court has handed down a deci
sion in favor of the North Carolina
Corporation Commlaalon against the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, secur
ing a general reduction on freight
rates from Cincinnati to Winston-Sa
lem and Durham, and also the reduc
tion of the local rates from Roanoke
to Winston-Salem and from Lynchburg
to Durham. /
(
Attorney General Blckett was seen
and being aaked hla opinion, said:
"Of course I am gratified that the
case waa decided in pur favor. It was
fought very stubbornly not only by
the Norfolk nnd Western but the
Southern, the Seaboard and the At
lantic Coaat Line. Thla flght was
made because the railroads feared,
and we hope that ultimate benefits of
the decision will reach much further
than the order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission In this freight
case. I fall to see how the Southern
Railway can keep from putting in the
reduced rates to Greenaboro. The
Southern will have to meet the re
duced ratea to Durham and at Win
ston-Salem, or quit handling any of
this traffic, and If it does most the
rates at Durham and Wlnaton-Salem,
then under the long and short haul
clauae of the Commerce Act it will
have to put in tbe same rates at
Ureenaboro and at all points between
Greenaboro and Winston-Salem.
More Arrests In Lake Mystery.
Although a month has expired alnce
the first Interesting developments In
the Myrtle Hawkins mystery and the
next term of court will no convene

carries with it many baffling features
According to one man who haa taken
great Internet In the matter alnce the
body of Myrtle Hawkins waa found In
Luke Osceola on the morning of Sep
tember 10, and who will follow the
proceedings closely, It would be no
surprise to him If developments more
sensational than any of the paat In
this case takes place Immediately. It
Is a known fact that Investigations are
being made along certain llnea which
tend to euinesh others Into the case
and clarify the mystery.
