A Remarkable Occurrence in
Mecklenburg.
Quite a strange and unumal on
currence, which is causing much
interest is going on uear here. On
the Glsenheimer farm near the Ca
barrus line, rain has been falling
over a small area for two weeks or
longer. With the sky perfectly
clear and the sun shining brightly
the rain continues to fall.
Some boyj first saw the pheuom
enon, and as it was an unnsual oe
currence, people seemed- to doubt
the truthfulness of their statement.
Since then quite a number of peo
pie have visited the place and are
convinced that rairi is actually fall
ing. It seems a mystery which Uo
one is able to solve satisfactorily.

"4Thft west is how- inclosed;, .The
free land has been taken up. There
is do homestead to be had now" for
the asking. The frontier has only
a historical significance. The' oa
tiooal domain is a thing of the past
"The public lands which now re
main are chiefly arid in character"
tays the public land v commission.
The opportunity for a home, which
for three centuries has been open to
all, has finally been closed by title
deeds or fraudulently appropriat
ed by individuals and corporations
in collusion with the government
The inclosue of the free public
domain terminates the greatest
epoch in American history. In a
big perspective it may be likened
to the fall of Borne, the opening up
of a new route to India by Vasoo
da Gama, or the discovery of Amer
icaby Columbus. It marks the
end of the westward drift of civil!'
zation, a arift which, with occa
sional interruptions, has been go
irg on since the beginning of his
tory. . Ever since the seventeenth
century the Old World has had a
vent in America. Duriug these
centuries Europe has been relieved
of its discontent by the broad, hos
pitable prairies of the west. Amer
ica has been a hospital for all of
the world. The opportunity which
it offered has relieved the explo
sive elemeuts of other lands'' aud
bronght them back into har
mony with life.
Aud undertow is now setting
upon the east. Population is
crouding i n ugon our cities. The
energetic wage-earner, who former
ly followed the westward trail, is
now entering the trade union.
Here he will find expression for
the energy which formerly fond
an outlet in the west . It is this
that explains the present 'industri
al unrests It is this that accounts
for the political ferment. No long
er can the discontented hope to im
prove his .fortunes in another longi
tude. He m ust remain at home,
became a tenant or a wage-earner.
It is this, too, that explains the
coming of poverty and distress.
The alternative of a homestead in
the west which for three centuries
has relieved the dispossessed of the
world, is now closed forever. It
is th is that explaius the change
which has come over the spirit of
America during the last ten years
And as time goes on this spirit of
unrest must of necessity increase.
Id this sense, as has been said,
America is the mirror of all history
An understanding of the evolution
of our own land offers a key to an
understanding of the evolution of
the western world, from the begin
ning of the migration of the Greek
colonists out of the Peloponnesui
into the western seas. '

ADVICE. TO WOMEN ;
A 5 Message from a Famous
'- Beauty Specialist to Womea
' ' Lacking in Eneryy and ', "
'.,-tTtant::;:;',
.Thousands of women, vainly at
tempt to improve ' their complex
ions and to . remove blackheads,
crows' feet and, other blemishes,
through the use of cosmetics. This
treatment tails because the trouble
lies far deeper than the skin. They
are suffering from impure and im
poverished blood. This condition
is in many cases due to a catarrhal
condition of the whole system
which finds its expression in sallow,
muddy complexion, darkcircled
eyes, general weakness of the
system, and perhaps most plainly
in the weeping of mucous mem
branes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, atarrh. Ban
ish this catarrh, aud the complex
iou will clear as if by magic, eyes
will brighten, faces become rosy
and shoulders erect. Perfect
beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for wo
men can only be obtained through
one certain treatment that which
will cure catarrh.
Mme. Swift, New York, the fain
ous beauty specialist known
thrughout the world and an accept
ed authority on all relating there
to, states that the one positive and
permanent relief for catarrh is Bex
all Mucu-Tone. Here is her let
ter:
"I can strongly endorse the
claims made for Bexall Mucu-Tone
as a cure for systemtc catarrh . Its
tonic effects are remarkable. It
builds up the strength and restores
vitality. If women who are tired
and run down,' lacking in energy
aud vitality, will use Bexall Mucu
Tone, they will praise as I do its
strengthening and healing quali
ties." Bexall Mucu-Tone orks through
the blood, acting thus upon the
mucous cells the congestion and
inflammation of which causes local
catarrh. This remedy causes poison
to be expelled from the system,
and the blood is purified and revit
alized. Thus the natural functions
of the m ucous cells are restored,
and the membranes are cleansed
aud made strong. We know that
Rexall Mucu Tone does relieve ca
tarrh. We positively guarantee
to refund the money paid us for
this remedy in every case where
the user is dissatisfied. It is a
builder of vigorous health and a
creator of good complexions. Price
60 cents and $1.00 per bottle.

Prophet Nahum Foresaw the day
on Automobiles.
The prohet Nahdm, is recorded
verse 4, chap. 2, book of Nahum
to have prophesied as follows:
"The chariots rage in the streets,
they jostle one another in 'the
broad ways; the appearance of them
is like torches, they run like light
nings."
Some two thousand years later
viz., in thirteenth century A. D.-
Boger Bacon, the learned Francis
can monk, wrote this, in the light
of present events, extraordinarily
correct prophecy: "We will be
able to construct machines which
will propel large ships with greater
speed than a whole garrison of row
era, and which will need only one
pilot to direct them ; we will be
able to propel carriages with in
credible speed without the assis
tance of soy animal; and we will
be able to make machines which,
by means of wings, will enable us
to fly into the air like biras." :

Canton Greatly Excited.
Asheville, Oct. 18. It is learn
ed here that Canton is considera
bly exercised over a "Black Hand"
affair at that place several days
ago. T. W. Sharp, eue of the
wealthiest men in the town, receiv
ed a threatening letter, saying that
if he didn't leave 1, 000 at a cer
taip corner of a church he would
meet violent mishap; that dynamite
was cheap. The letter, telling Mr.
Sharp at a certain time to deposit
the money, was turned over to pot

near morning, but ' the "Black
Hand" did not appear. The ease
is being worked on, however, and
every effort will be made to identi
fy the hand writing and cause the

because he hadn't water enough in his tank or be
