This course has the hearty approval of l President Roosevelt - who wrote as . follows to Secretary of the Treasury, bis letter con taining much sound - advice which would be profitable if heeded by the people: . - ., "The White House, "Washington. Nov. 17, 1907. "My Dear Mr, Cortelyou; "I nave considered youi- pro posal, I approve the issue of tbe fifty millions of Panama bonds, which will be immediate ly available as tbe basis for additional currency. I also ap prove tbe issue of $100,000,000, or so much as you may find necessary of $50 3 per cent, in terest bearing government notes. the proceeds of the sale of which can be at once deposited by you wbere tbe greatest need exists, and especially in .the West and South, where the crops have to be moved. I have assurance that tbe leaders of congress are considering . a . currency bill which will meet in permanent fashion tbe needs of the situation and which I believe will be passed at an early date after Congress convenes two weeks hence. "What is most needed jusWt present is that our citizens should realize how fundamental ly sound business conditions in this country are, and how ab surd it is to permit themselves to get into a panic and create a stringency by hoarding their savings instead of trusting per fectly sound banks. There is no particle of risk involved in letting business take its natural course, and the people can help themselves .and the country most by putting back into active circulation the money they are hoarding. The banks and trust companies are solvent. There is more currency in the country to-day than there wast a month ago, when the supply was ample, Fifty-five million dol lars in gold have been imported and the government' has de posited another $60,000,000. These are facts; and ' I appeal to tbe. public to co-operate with us in restor ing normal business condi tions. The government will see that the people do not suffer if only the people themselves will act in a normal way. Crops are good and business conditions are sound ;v and we should put the money we have into circula tion in order to meet the needs of our abounding prosperity. There is uo analogy at all with the way things were in 1893. On November 30th of that year, there was in the Treasury but $161,000,000 in gold. On. No vember 16th of this year there was in the Treasury $904,000, 000 of gold. Ten years ago the circulation per capita was $23. 23. It is now $33.23. The steps that yon now take, tbe ability of the, government to back them up, and the fact not a particle) ol risk t is v involved therein, give the fullest guaran tees of the sound condition of our people and -the sound condi tion of out Treasury. "All that ouf people havf to do how is .to go ahead with their normal busi ness in a normal fashion and the whole difficulty disappears; and this end will be - achieved at once if each man will act as be normally does act, and " as the real condition of the country's business fully warrants bis now acting. -: :s-'-"--, -V; Sincerely yours.x w "Theodore Roosevelt,."

WATCH TOUR TONGUE If Purrad aa Caatcd, It Is a Wara lot of Trouble t Coaae. When it is tbe morning after tbe night before, you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset. the head . is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all tbe world ooks black and dreary. It may have been lobster New- burehr Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than tbe morning after. 'There is no need to look at the tongue thermome ter then for symptoms of trouble. You naturally go to your box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and with one of the little relievers bring ioy and gladness to the physical system. The real time to watch tbe tongue is all of the time. If it , coated with a wbite fur, or possibly with . dark . trimmings, even though tbe stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of indigestion that it needs help. yet the coating shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so reliable in its curative action upon the stomach that J. H. Kennedy & Co., tbe local agents. give an absolute guarantee with every 50-cent box they sell to re fund the money nnless the rem. edy gives absolute and complete satisfaction. 22-29 CONCORD IS SELECTED.

The remains of young Robert Hedgepeth, an employe of tbe Catawba Power company, who was killed while working on the company's line near tqe power bouse on October 20th. weredis interred at Concord church last Friday for the purpose of an in quest by Coroner Loutbian and a jury. The inquest was held at tne instance ot tbe young man's lather, represented by Messrs. Finley & Jennings, to facilitate a settlement with tbe company. There had been some suggestion that the young man might bave died of heart disease. and it was especially necessary to determine this question. The post mortem examination show ed that the condition of the young man's heart was perfect, and there seems to be no reason able probability that death was from any other cause than a powerful electric current. Mr. R. Bascom Kennedy, who has lived in Sharon neighbor hood for many years, and who was well known throughout western York and Yorkville, died laat Saturday while traveling on tbe road from Sharon towards Hickory Grove He left Sharon riding a mule and when found on tbe roadside some hours later he was in a dying condition.' He had strength to lift himself to a sitting position ; but diedbe fore he could be moved to more comfortable surroundings. Coroner Loutbian was summon ed to the scene; but after con sultation with responsible people, of the neighborhood best quali fied to appreciate the facts of the situation decided that the hold ing of an inquest was unnces- sary. it ts supposed that tbe poor fellow probably fell off bis mule, and death was tbe result of the exposure to tbe cold weather which was too much for his weakened physical condition. The deceased was a son of the late Nathaniel Porter Kennedy and was about 59 years of age.. He was never married. Four foreigners were killed and three injured in an explosion near Cheney,:!
