The Cocaine Evil.
Carolina Spartan.
Health Inspector Cofield brought
the sale of cocaine before the med
ical association last week. He ex
hibited prescriptions given by Dr.
Orr to county convicts and tilled
at the Maddox drug store. The
association did not consider that
the law was violated, but sugges
ted that the whole subject was
worthy of investigation in the
future.
If cocaine was the only mind
and will-destroying drug on the
market it would be easy to deal
Avith it. Iut we hare morphine,
a variety of headache cures and
these get-well-quick remedies in
every drug store. They are of
such a nature that the occasional
administration by the physician
begets a habit which soon becomes
an incurable vice. There is not
one of these terrible drugs that
wreck body and mind but what
are prescribed by physir ians. The
ever ready hypodermic syringe
has wrought evils that are far in
excess of the beneiits bestowed.
The physicians, the custodians of
the health of the people, should
do all they could to exterminate
the drug dope habit even if they
have to burn their hypodermic
syringes and give up the use of
death producing drugs.
Doing Business Again.
"When my friends thought 1 was
about to take leave of this world, on
account of indigestion, nervousness
and general debility." writes A. A.
Chisholm, Treadwell, N. Y., "and
when it looked as if there was no
hope left, I was persuaded to try
Electric Bitters, and 1 rejoice to say
that they are curing me. I am now
doing business again as of old, and
am still gaining daily." Best tonic
medicine on earth, (ruranteed by

Ruling Sustained.
Ashcville, X. C, Oct. 10. In
the United States court here today
Judge Pritchard rendered his de
cision sustaining the ruling of
Btandingmastcr Montgomery, in
refusing to allow the state's at
torneys in the railway rate case
hearing to investigate the books of
the Southern railway prior to
June 30, 1905.
The court says that the excep
tions to the ruling of the stand
ingmaster are without merit and
are therefore overruled. The ap
peal of the defendants was argued
last Saturday by counsel and since
then Judge Pritchard has had the
matter under consideration .
The state counsel wished to in
vestigate the railway books for
many years back and insisted that
past records are necessary for es
tablishing the state's claims. The
railway object to this contention
upon the ground that delving into
old records is unnecessary and ex
pensive and a loss of time, claim
ing that a speedy settlement of the
1 matter is important as the rail
toad is losing allargesum of money
on account of the railroad rates.

Men's Thank Offering $1,000,003.
llalolgh Evening Times.'
Richmond, Va., Oct. 9. Onoof
the largest collections ever taken
up was gathered in the men's
thank offering service in Holy
Trinity Church at 8 o'clock this
morning when a great corporate
communion of the men, attending
the Episcopal general convention
was held. The offering totals up,
it is said on good authority, about
one million dallars and huge ba
sins of gold were necessary to hold
the bunches of bank notes, banks
of gold, tied many of them in the
Americau colors or in streaming
purple ribbons. The collection
was taken in utter silence, there
fore was all the more impressive.
Private detectives and policemen
were scattered through the church
to guard the treasure. Seventy
seven diocese contributed.
The offertory thanksgiving song
after this largest single offering in
the history of Christendom was a
mighty shout sf triumph.
The occasion of the offering is
300th anniversary of the Ameri
can church and it was decided that
the churchmen of America should
thus express their thanksgiving
for three centuries of primitive
Christianity on this continent.
A preliminary condition was
that the offering should be over
and above the usual contributions
of the church, a special effort, in
o way to interfere with apportion
meut to each church from the head
of missions or with parochial ex
penses of each congregation .
Thomas A. Edison, the great Anier
ican inventor, says "Fully eighty per
cent, of the illness of mankind conies
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves." This is
where indigestion finds it beginning
in nearly eyery case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it or
when you eat the wrong kind of
food the digestive organs, cannot
do the work demanded of them.
It is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help, and
warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and indiges
tion. You should attend to this at
once by taking something that will
actually do the work for the stomach
Kodol will do this. It is a combina
tion of natural digestants and veget
able acids and contains the same
juices fou in', in a healthy stomach
It is pleasant to take. It digests
what you eat. Sold by J. E. Shell,

The Path of Progress.
Ohio State Journal.
There is no good reason, if hum
an life cannot get up on a level of
the beatitudes, that it should not
try to get as near as it can. There
is no good reason why, if business
cannot be done on the square and
the golden rule govern it completely,
that it should not get as close un
der these influences as possible.
There is no good reason, if politics
cannot be atisolutely pure and un
selfish and upright, that it should
not hope to reach as close as may
lie to those whole some conditions.
It often happens when one contends
for higher ideas in the rule of so
cial and political life that he is
told it is no use trying to establish
a millennium this year, that the
world is not ready for it, and such
bosh, as it is liable to stagger weak
hears and make them let go of high
aims. Xolody is expecting a mil
lennium now. No one is counting
on a sinless world during the pres
ent centuries. But the righting
for one that is to come a few thou
sand years from now is making
this age better, and is Jmak
ing manlier and truer the life of the
man who is engaged in the conflict.
Indifference to this fact is next
door to a crime. These men, who
go alone catering to downward
tendencies and compromising man
ly effort with selfish purpose, pile
up evil by creating despair. Men
should see a higher purpose in
their Jives than such experience
implies. "To every haven of de
sire each yearning opens a portal,"
sang Gerald Massey. It is so
The path of progress leads in tnat
direction, and in no other.

Tramps.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
In dealing with the vicious class,
the tramps proper, the roads are
equally serviceable. There should
be no option here. Every tres
passer on a freight train should be
sentenced to work on the roads in
the locality where captured. Ev
ery vagrant caught loitering any
where should be sentenced in like
manner and compelled to do hon
est labor for the benefit of society,
being given in return food, lodg
ing and a small compensation. No
tender sentimentality should be
permitted to -intervene to prevent
these sejiteuces being exemplary.
If an occasional prodigal son
should be caught no harm will be
done. He might as well eat the
husks with the vagrant swine as
with any other. In truth, the
tramps are a menace to every hon
est man and woman. Floating
about irresponsibly, they prey
upon society at will. They de
generate from mere idle vagabonds
to ordinary thieves and malefac
tors. Their numbers serve to con
ceal the movements ol fugitives
from justice who mingle with the
derelict mass. It is, indeed, time
that vigorous measures should be
adopted to cope with this grow ing
evil.
