Ala.’—‘‘I first took Cnr dui for that tired, worn-out feeling that comes from being dreadfully run down,” says Mrs. Catherine E. Smith, of 2106 Stout Street. “Twenty-five years ago I was suffering from wom anly weakness. ... I read of Cardul In an almanac, and thought I would try it. I got a bottle and it helped me from the first. After that, during the whole of my married life, I took Car dui when I needed it. “About four years ago, change of life came on me. ... I grew weaker and weaker, and was confined to my bed where I laid on my back for days. I was told that only a severe operation could do me any good, and this de pressed me very much for I dreaded such an ordeal. “I remembered how Cardui had helped me for female trouble in the past and I had read of how it had helped other women during the change of life, so one night I told my husband to go to the drug store and get me a bottle. I began taking it at once. From the first dose I could feel myself get ting stronger. ... I continued to take Cardui until I was entirely through this very trying period of a woman's life. . . . Cardui is a wonderful medi cine for women. It helped me so much that I gladly recommend it to other women suffering as I did.” At drug gists. £ Take tCARDUK N TheWoman'sTonic S Fine Family Tonic Cuticura Soap The Safety Razor Shaving Soap CatiooraSoap■havee without muf Everywhere tfc STATE INVESTS III NEW AUTOMOBILES NUMBER OF LICENSES ISSUED TO AUTORISTS HAS PASSED THE 200,000 MARK. STATEMENT BY FRANK PAGE Motor Vehicles Licensed in Six Years Has Increased Four Hundred Per Cent. Raleigh. Fifty-one million dollars were in vested in automobiles and trucks in North Carolina during the year ending October 25, when the number of licen ses issued passed the 221.000 mark. One year ago there were 166.100 motor vehicles in the State. 9,S96 of which have gone into retirement, ac cording to figures compiled by J. E. Sawyer, head of the automobile li cense bureau, leaving a total of 64. $96 new vehicles purchased during the ewelve months' period. In six years the number of motor vehicles licensed to operate in the State has increased 400 per cent, ris ing from 49.4S0 on September 25, 1917. to slightly more than 221,000. Six years ago the total value of automabiles and trucks in operation in the State was $39,200,000. Figuring on the accepted basis of $800 as the average value, the State has $176,000. 000. The increase in fourteen years has been about 16,000 per cent. Taxes levied on gasoline for the maintenance of roads approximates now more than four times the value of all the automobiles in the States fourteen years ago. Mr. Sawyer's figures indicate, with a present in come from that source of more than $300,000 monthly. Enormously increased purchasing power of the people of the State is indicated to the average business man in the figures, but to Frank Page, who is building the roads that the auto mobiles use, it means fifty million dollars worth of destruction, while he is spending about 25 million dollars a year for construction. “It Just means that while we are spending twenty-five million dollars building roads this year, the people of the State have two hundred mllion dollars, nearly, invested in machinery for tearing them down. I think that road building in the State will never catch up with the demand that is made upon it. "Not that I am complaining—that's what these roads are for. We are building them to ride on. The only thing that worriea me is whether we are building a road that will be ade quate to the load it has to carry. Ten years from now, I don’t know where we will be. Ten years ago we had no use for such roads as we have now. Just now they are inadequate. "Road engineers are learning some thing new every day about traffic. Two years ago we didn’t dream that saind-clay roads would be subjected to the punishment they get right now. Maintenance is keeping them going, but I can’t see the end of it. It just looks to me like we have got to keep on spending money for roads—and spending like a fool—knowing that in two years’ time it will look like we have not spent enough.’’ Requirements For Welfare Officers. A list of eight requiremerts of ap plicants for positions as public welfare officers in North Carolina adopted by the state board of charities and public welfare is announced in the Septem ber number of “Public Welfare Prog ress,"’ offiiia! publication of the wel fare department.

M. Register, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health.

The annual meeting of four st*te livestock associations will be held at Hickory, Catawba county, beginning the night of November 6 and lasting through the afternoon of November 8, according to an announcement by Professor R. S. Curtis, chief of the animal industry, division of North Carolina State college and the depart ment of agriculture. The associations that are to meet at Hickory and their officers are. Dairy Cattle association; Richard S. Tufts, Pineliurst, president; J. A. Arey, State college, secretary. Swine Breeders' association; H. Arthur Osborne, Canton, president; W. W. Shay, State colloge, secretary. North Carolina Beef Breeders' and Feeders’ association: J. E. Latham, Greensboro, president; R. S. Curtis, State college, secretary. Sheep Growers’ association, R. W. Scott, Haw River, president; George Evans, county farm demonstration agent for Davie county, secretary. The state poultry association will not be officially represented at Hick ory, as they hold their regular an nual meetings at Greensboro in De cember, but Dr. B. F. Kaupp and A. G. Oliver, of State college and the department of agriculture, kwill at tend the livestock meetings at Hick ory and conduct an educational pro gram in dealing with the poultry phases of farm production. It' was decided to hold the meetings of the livestock association at Hick ory, at a conference held this week in the offices of the animal Industry division of State college and the de partment of agriculture. Goldsboro and Wilmington also had extended in vitations to the various associations for their meetings, but Hickory was selected because of the widespraed in terest thereabouts in cattle raising and also because the North Carolina Jersey Cattle club will hold its annual briquet at Hickory Nocember 7 and its sale of blooded Jersey cattle the afternoon of the next day. The meetings of the livestock asso ciations are scheduled to begin at 7:30 o’clock on the evening of Novem ber 6. Arrangements now are being made to secure a speaker of outstand ing importance in the livestock world for this general meeting. All prelimi nary matters are to be disposed of at the first night session so the regular program can be begun the morning of November 7, when group meetings will be held. Precuations For Fire Prevention. In connection with fire prevention week in North Carolina October 8-13. the state department of insurance has named four general fire precautions, which, it is said, if followed, will pre vent the greater number of avoidable fires, which last year caused a rlos's estimated to be about $391,395,000. The precautions named follow: “1. Industrial plants, mercantile establishments and homes should be thoroughly inspected to determine whether dangerous conditions arc per mitted to exist. “2. General cleanliness should be a large contributing factor in reduc ing fire losses. Preventable fires sel dom start In clean places. “3. Many fires in homes would re sult in little or no damage if first aid apparatus, such as extinguishers, were kept handy and in readiness for ser vice. “4. Every man, women and child, should know the location of the fire alarm box nearest to their home, place of business, or school and should learn how to turn in an alarm.'’ Port Commission to Meet on Oct. 10. The North Carolina state ship and water transportation commission will meet in regular session here October 10 and 11, at which time it has been announced by Dr. D. D. Carroll, secre tary of the commission, a conference relative to the development of some port on North Carolina’s seaboard will be held by members of the com mission with Edwin J. Clapp, of New York, regarded as an a thority on matters concerning ports, harbors and water transportation. Mr. Clapp has supervised the making of surveys of the Charleston and Baltimore, harbors and many other ports. Members of the North Carolina ship and water transportation commission say he is an expert in tiis field and a man whose advice will be valuable to them. The entire first day of the October meeting of the commission has been set aside for the conference with Mr. Clapp. Mountain Seed Potatoes Successful. Seed potatoes grown in the moun tains of North Carolina have proven to be unusually successful on the Coastal Plain area for the early crop this year. The potatoes yielded equally as well as those secured from Maine and the home grown seed gen erally produce a crop about two weeks earlier. Heavy Business in Fire Insurance. Nineteen twenty-three is proving an unusually active year in fire insur ance. Up to July 1 over ?5.000,000 had gone through the office of the North Carolina Inspection and Rating Bureau here, which has oversight of the business in the state. Last year the total amount of premiums aggre gated 19,000,000, so It can be seen that the present year bids fair to make a record. Not all of this, of course, is new business, nevertheless a large proportion represents new construc tion. ... SENATOR OPENS UNDERWOOD MAKES ADDRESS ON SOUTHERN OPPORTUNITY AT LEXINGTON. IN THIRTY MINUTE SPEECH Was a Guest of the Rotary Clubs of Thomasville and Lexington While Here. Lexington.—“The South has stood ! long at the door of opportunity but lias failed to push open that door and 1 enter,” declared Senator Oscar Under wood in an address at the Davidson j County Fair. Until the South forgets the cry of political expediency and asserts itself i in political matters it can have no reason to compalin that it is not | fairly represented in the government, said the speaker. Senator Underwood began his 30 minute speech with a discussion of the transportation problem and reached a climax in asserting that the Inter state Commerce Commission now has complete control of rates and rate adjustments, and on that body the South has aad only five men in its 40 years of history. Three of these were from distinctly Southern States and two from the border. Ours is largely a government by boards and commissioners, declared the Senator and of the approximate ly hundred men on these bodtes only five or six are from the South. The South is represented on the Federal Reserve Board and the Shipping Board because the law makes this so, but on other boards it is almost for gotten. Although the Farm Loan Board was created for the agriculture of the country, represented largely by the South and West, there was no Southern man in this body until the appointment of Mr. Lever late in WII son’^administration. "What benefit is it to the South if we win an election and d0 not share in any of the benefits?'’ asked the speaker, w'ho urged his hearers to turn to practical things and seize the problems lying at their feet. The absence of influence in the actual gov ernment of the country will continue until its voters decide that there is no sectionalism in politics. This feeling does not exist in the rank and file of Northern and Western citiizens, declared Senator Underwood, “but is raised by politicians who seek office for themselves.” Senator Underwood was a guest of the Rotary Clubs of Thomasville and Lexington, before leaving for Wash ington. Edenton Plans For Chowan Fair. Edenton.—Farmers, merchants and kiddies are preparing for the geratest fair ever held in Chowan county this fall and the interest in the event is fast appoaching a warm stage. The dates are announced as October 16-20 and Secretary Rowell s already mail ing out the attractive premium lists to proposed exhibitors and others in- ! terested in agricultural progress of eastern North Carolina. From reports coming in of late, the prospects promise that the 1923 ex hibits will surpass those of recent years. The Association is paying larger premiums than any other fair its size in this section and the people throughout the county are beginning to realize the importance of making the very best display on the grounds during the big days. Woman Elected to Head Church. Kinston.—The North Carolina Uni versalists elected a woman State pres- ! ident at the annual convention just adjourned at Woodington. near here. Mrs. Martha Jones, of the Clinton dis- j tric.t, was honored. Mrs. Jones is a ; minister. It is possible that the 1924 I convention will be held at a church in the Clinton section, though the execu tive body of the convention has not voted on time and place of the next meeting. The convention at Woodington was attended by more than 200 delegates ' and others. State and national lead- . ■ers of the Universalists were present. Speakers included Dr. C. E. Rice, of Washington, D. C.; Rev. L. P. Jones, cf Clinton; Miss Jennie Lois Ellis, of Pennsylvania; Mrs. Ethel M. Allen, of Ohio, and others. Mrs. Allen is na tional president of,,the women’s mis sionary organization. At the Sunday sessions probably 500 visitos throng ed the little church at Woodington. Rev. Dwight A. Ball, of Kinston, was the host minister. South Carolina at Exposition. Charlotte.—South Carolina day at the exposition brought thousands from across the Catawba- Leading the host were Gov. McLeod, Senator Ed Smith. Dr. A. S. Johnson, of Wlnthrop College, and Dr. D. B. Johnson, mayor of Rock Hill. The keys of the city were turned over to the “Carolinians. Besides dinners and luncheons for the official visitors there was a con cert in exposition hall in the after noon when Gov. McLeod. Senator Smith and the two Dr. Johnsons spok* CONSIDER FREE ROOM RENT Richmond County Alumni of Wake Forest College Submit an Unique Proposition. Wake Forest.—A decrease in the cost of a college education to the worthy young man and a relief from crowded dormitory conditions without huge expenditures of college funds— these are two results which will be ob tained if trustees of Wake Forest Col lege receive favorably a porposal made by the alumni of the college re siding in Richmond county. President W. L. Potent thinks favorably of the plan and there is every reason to be lieve that it will receive an affirma tive vote at the hands of the board of trustees. The plan is this. The Richmond County alumni want to bear the ex pense of a model cottage to be erect ed on the aollege property with the understanding that Richmond County boys who attend the institution may j occupy this cottage rent free during their college careers. Provision would i probably be made for a minimum fee ! to take care of upkeep and insur- I ance. The idea originated at a meeting of Richmond alumni in Rockingham one night when those present cast about for some concrete means of showing their appreciation of their alma mater. So far as is known the idea is something new in the field of education. Members of the Wake Forest faculty are enthusiastic con cerning the plan. The cottage which the Richmond alumni want to erect would contain six rooms and provide quarters for twelve boys. The advocates of the idea did a little figuring. While it has been the policy of Wake Forest to provide as cheaply as possible, the rent has prob- _ ably averaged $30 a year to each stu dent. Then a student completing a four-year course would pay $120 for rent, and in many instances more. Twelve boys—the number which the Richmond alumni propose to take care of—would pay something like $1,440 for rent during their college careers. This sum would be saved to the boys or to their parents by erec tion of the county cottage. As for relieving crowded dormitory conditions, the advocates pointed out further, that eight such cottages erect ed on college property would be the equivalent of a dormitory costing $100,000. Says Fish Laws Being Violated. Lumberton.—J. H. Stone, State fisheries inspector, who made his in itial inspection of Lumber fiver, stat ed that he had found many violations of the .State fish laws, seized six seines in this county and two in Co lumbus, and indictments would be brought against some of the violators if they did not comply with the in structions. Lumber river, which is celebrated for. its “red breast” and trout, has been the scene of many violations during the past several years. A law is in effect now' that prohibits any one from catching more than 12 "red breast” or 12 trout in one day. There was a law’ a few years ago prohibit ing the sale of “red breast,” but this has since been repealed. Co-ops. Hear Congressman Ward Roxboro.-—Hundreds of tobacco far mers from the Old Belt or North Car olina were turned away from a meet ing of the Tobacco Growers’ Co-opera tive Association here when every available space in the courthouse was packed with supporters of the asso ciation who came from eight counties to hear Congressman Hallet S. Ward The meeting here was. a record breaker both for size and enthusiasm and was described by Congressman Ward as the most spirited demonstra tion in favor of the Tobacco Associa tion which he has seen in Noth Caro line during his many speeches in be half of commodity marketing. Heroic Rescue of Child. Scotland Neck.—News has reached here of an unusual accident and res cue, when the two and half-year old child of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. May nard fell into an old unused well on their farm, near here. The well was a hundred feet deep, but the child was caught in its fall between the curbing which had caved in and the side of the well about one foot from the water. Mr. Maynard, on hearing the child scream, rushed to its as sistance with a rope, which he man aged to drop in a loop around his shoulders, and thus frantically grasp ing the rope he was drawn to w’ithin five feet of the surface when the curbing caved and the father with difficulty threw the child out and clung to the side of the well until assistance came. Rum Car at Bottom of River. New Bern.—The rum car which was run off Trent river bridge when offi cers pressed its driver, is still at the bottom of the river. A few quarts of whiskey found in It by nt^ro divers was turned over to Lieut. A. A. Ipock, of the local police force, who stood guard at the place for two days. Ef forts were made to salvage the car but a high tide and heavy wind made it impossible. The river is twenty feet deep at the point where the car went in.
