In his last message to Congress
President McKinley recommended

in this direction should be a wiping out

A newspaper that is made the

things it is not serving the legitimate

The 7 ewspaper of today is a moral
force in educating public opinion, not
in punishing crime. It is an educa-

not in ridiculing ignorance. It is a
prometer of material prosperity by
stimulating the izdustrious, not by
abusing the indolent. It isa stimulant
to good will in the community by
seeking the good name of the people
not by exposing their shortcomings.

What Huxley, the Great English

Start in Life

The great English Scientist Huxley,
said the best staré in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
tood properly because they like the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lac-
tic and hydrochelic) and peptogenic
products, the most sensivle remedy in
all cases of indigestion, is to take after
each meal one or two of StuartTs Dys-
peptic Tablets because they supply ina
pleasant, harmless rorm all the element
that weak stomachs lack.

The regular use of StuartTs Dyspepsia
T. blets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer °f tae stomach.

The increase flesh, insure pure blood

pepsia Tablets at 60 cents full sized

Though the LetterT Was oDead� |

! Because it Wore Mourning.

ee

Charlotte Observer has run upon the
following : . -
A strarige bat true story is told of a
certain Davie county postmaster. Re-
cently a lady was expecting a letter

informing her of the conditin ~f a

relatize who wes verv ill.

After wailing several weeks for the
letier she went to the post oif.e end
asked the official to go over his mail
carefully for her He did so, but no
letter was found.

The lady then tcok matters into her
own hands, as she knew the postmas-
ter was ignorant and inefficient, and
scarched the office. She finally found
the letter put away in an out-of-the
way corner. It had a black border
and annonneed the death of the Jela~
tive. The postmasterTs excuse was :

oThat thing came a month ago, but
I was goinT to send ~t to dead Jetter
office, because it was tlack and I
thought there was something wrong

with it.�
