THE PROGRESSIVE IDEA.
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. For sale

When told that it was located only
an hour's run southwest of the city,
Senator LaFollette evinced much in
terest. "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;.

He suggested the three

Druggist Gives

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.

give you your money back if yon
