THE PASSING OF A GENIUS. The dea h of Miss E. H. Bartine in the home for aered and infirm ladies at E ileigh*la3t week marks the end of a g> nius whom the world did not well kow and appreciate for her full worth. 1? le was an artist of rare genius and n any of the most prominent ladies of eastern Carolina in da> s gone by sat at t«r feet and received instruction from •h t* With a culture and refinement equal to her aesthetic tastes she was a most lovable character to those who aspired to the beautiful in life and to , tl em she was a lovable and companion able lady indeed. Several homes in Rocky Mount are graced with works in oil from her genius-directed brush, and these attest her wonderful talent. Of a frail body she came to this southern clime to escape the rigors of her New Jersey nativity, and soon the H?ht of her genius and beautiful personality attracted to her some of the first ladies of the land, who sought instruction from her gifted mind. It is said of her ">by those who knew her well that ihe i*noßt beautiful pictures grew under her •fikilfull touch without apparent effort' on her pare. How often is genius, like virtue, its own reward! And later when the feebleness of old age brought at tendant impairment of mind she, for lack of that meterial reward for her genius, had to spend her last days in a charitable institution, admittance being gained for her by the persistent efforts and kind offices of a good lady of this city. May she have that reward for the good and the beautiful in the home to which she is gone. THE EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY LAW. The main point for which employes are contending, and which is embodied in the employers' 'liability bill just passed by congress, that in interstate commerce the common law rule, that a fellow servant's negligence shall bar recovery, shall not prevail is a correct principle, and even should the supreme court declare it unconstitutional, as it did a similar law passed in 1906, ulti mate triumph for the principle is now assured, for the trend of thought is towards the justice of it. Why the common law rule has remained as long as it has is a surprise. That a man's right should be defeated by an agent of his employer just because that agent is a fellow seivant bears no semblance of right, and an end should be put to the principle at once. Boston again suffered a terrible fire los3 r Sunday, in whicn four lives were lost and 10,000 left homeless. A con servative estimate places the property loss at $10,000,000, a mile square of the manufacturing, business and tenement district being burned. Friends of Mr. Craig's candidacy need not feel too highly elated over the re suit in last week's conventions. As we understar-d it Mr. Kitchin was not mak ing any big claims in those counties. In fact, Mr. Home won out in the only debatable territory, h e may iool 'em yet. A Governor Glenn stated in a speech at Louisburg, Monday, that with the ex piration of his term as governor he would retire from public life and take op the practice of law at his home town, Winston. This is taken a3 a positive announcement that he will not contest with Senator Overman for the Unite*- States scnatorship, and that gentle man will in all probability be reelected. The governor denounced with much emphasis the statement of those who have he was using the prohibition movement as a stepping-stone to the U. S. senate. All's well that ends well. The Record notes with pleasure the improvements in the appearance and general tone of The Tarboro Southerner and hopes that it is a true indication of the prosperity of our contemporary. jrm STATE NEWS. 4 Tlovernor Glenn has offered a reward of SSO each for those participating in the Belhaven riot in shooting up a house occupied by a lot of Greeks.

The Rocky Mount Record, Thursday, April 16, 1908. NEW THEORY IS RAPIDLY SPREADING OVER COUNTRY L. T, Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove, with his new medicine, is being given more respect and comment every day. Cooper claims that 90 per cent, of all ill health is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about his theory re cently, he said: "Stomach trouble is the 'great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are con cerned. Practically all of the chronic -ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. "To be sure, there was sickness In those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only 'temporary. There was none of this half-sieir"condition all the time with'which so many are afflicted nowadays. "I know positively thaUevery bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weak ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape.

That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense numbers of peo ple who are now strong believers In Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: "For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradu ally became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for days at a time. I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner vousness. I suffered terribly with in somnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually became de ranged. I felt instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine. I now feel like a new being. Today I walked all over town, shopping— something I have not done for years. "I make this statement wholly from a sense" TDf duty. I feel I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness as I have done." The record made by the Cooper med icines is astonishing.
