It is Steadily Growing Says Senator IjaFollette in Charlotte Xewspn Iter Interview Gratifying Growth in Xorth Carolina. The following extracts from Sat urday's Charlotte Observer will be of interest to many Gazette readers: "Tho progressive movement In botti of the old parties and in all parties ia stronger today than at any time in the past.'' ilerlared Senator Rob ert M. laFollette yesterday after noon when seen at his room by an Observer man. "This is due in a measure to the better understanding on the part of the people everywhere as to what is prorgssiveism and wtiar it stands for. This is the cae witn the public generally there Is a clearer conreption and a better and more complete understanding as to what is comprehended in the term without which no movement can be altogether successful. I see mucn that is gratifying in the spread on all sides of progressive beliers. It is true in this as with all reform movements that he change Is only slightly apparent when viewed at close range but in the light of tne decade, the advance is notable. I gee much that is comforting for there bas been tremendous progress a chieved in all directions." Senator LaFollette is the type or aggressive fighter that is character istic of the Northwest from which tie halls. He is immensely and Tn- 1 tensely Interested in the spread or the progressive doctrine wherever he goes and had many interesting things to say about North Carolina. "I find here in the Old North State, a , great awakening." he declared, "which finds manifestation in atten tlon that is being given the better regulation of public service corpora tions, the control of the common carriers so that they will render am ple and adequate service and on terms consistent with the public good, and those other forward steps which are embraced within the scope of the movement in which I am in terested. This control does not mean a hurtful reeulation but one that is consistent with the rights of all par . ties involved. North Carolina has been the 'goat' in a sense in so far as rates are concerned but this con dition is rapidly being eliminated. I am glad to learn. There should be no cessation of activity nor surcease of toil until fair and equitable treat ment is guaranteed. "And along with these State-wide movements along these broad and general lines, I find a gratifying ' manifestation of growth and , pros- I perity in all sections where T have' Yislted. Such is in evidence in and about Wilmington, Raleigh, Dunn. ! High Point. Greensboro and here about Charlotte. T believe thar North Carolina Is going: to turn a i sharp corner In agriculture! plans and methods within the next rew years. In fact within a quarter of a century I believe that conditions within the State will be entirely al tered. We passed through sucn an era in Wisconsin and we are now beginning to realize the results of the new era. Prior to this change. .ifB suffered with the 'cropper' svs tem on our farms somewhat similar to the conditions that now pervall In North Carolina. The soil was gradually depleted year after year, bo much so that the land only yield ed from eight to ten bushels of . wheat an acre, with other crops in proportion. In the face of such a I situation something had to be done and the dairying remedy was appli ed. The agricultural population be gan emphasizing the raising or cat- ' tie and today the dairy pordwts of j Wisconsin amount to $70,00n,nnrt annually, which Is the value I Jurtsre of your cotton crop. And with this dairy industry, has come improved soil, larger and better crops and an those things that follow in the wave of the new condition. Something similar I believe will be the hisrorv of North Carolina during the next few decades to come. There Ts no State that is richer in natural re sources and only the new life has ro be injected in order for the people to realize on them." Senator TaFoIlette was asVed a bout his North Carolina ancestry. He smllinglv remarked that on his mother's side he was from North Carolina stock, the Ferguson brancn. There was areferencp to the Fergu son who fell at Kines Mountain which brought forth the inquiry as to the nearness of this noted spot. llr. Raglan d Writes Interesting Letter on This Subject. Madison Heights, Va. Mr. Chas. A. Ragiand, of this place, writes: "I have been taking Thedford's Black-Draught fpr indigestion, and other stomach troub les, also colds, and find it to be the very best medicine 1 have ever used. After taking Black-Draught for a few days, I always feel like a new man." Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain la pit of stomach, and a feeling of full- i ness after eating, are sure symptoms of Stomach trouble, and should be given the proper treatment, as your strength and I health depend very largely upon your food and its digestion. To get quick and permanent relief from these ailments, you should take ft medicine of known curative merit Its 75 years of splendid success, in the treatment of just such troubles, proves the real merit of Thedford's Biack- DraughL Safe, pleasant, gentle in aetioj, t and without .bad after-effects, it is sure ' to benefit both; youag and old.

"Do you know," said he, "that the finest collection of data on Kings Mountain and its heores is to be found In the Wisconsin State His torical Association's library? The director of this library, Mr. Lyman S. Draper, visited this section and spent some time in and about Kings Mountain, collecting all the data procurable. Returning to Wiscon sin he wrote the book "Kings Moun tain and Its Heroes" which is said to be the last word on the then.e to day. The amount of manuscript, consisting of original documents that be collected, was marvelous, it is said to be the finest collection of original material on the subiect of the battle of Kings Mountain ex tant." Senator LaFollette manifest n keen interest in the historical points of interest about this section, of which he was exceedingly well in formed. ilf expressed his pleasa;. in visisitin; North Carolina "nd Charlotte, which se said seemed like a second home to him.

Druggist Gives Money Back Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four Stuare Guarantee from The Ad ams Drug Store. When an article is sold a druggist who is willing to give it his person al guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof of real merit. That's exactly the case with Dod son's Liver Tone. It is a pleasant tasting, vegetable remedy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel has gone 'way down. The reason Is simply this: Dodson 8 Liver Tone is safe and harmless and guaranteed to be satisfactory Cal omel is often uncertain, sometimes dangerous, and no druggist wants to guarantee that It won't knocfc yon out of a day's work and maybe send you to bed. The Adams Drug Company sells Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantees it. For you and for your children, it's a good thing to keep a bottle al ways in the house. The Adams Drug Company will give you your money back if yon think Dodson's Liver Tone Is not worth the price. "Keep your liver working and your liver will not Keep you from working," is good advice to go by. Adv.
