Dr. Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick head- ache, or any of the distress- aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an ex- condition, it i wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in- of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no dis- agreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. n Inns I have with of that inure Hum I can month, two or Hire I ii. ., r able i get that would me m i -h until I lo- i at Pain and they n me in a short time.

FROM LOST LIMBS. j ES AND COATS Dom a person suffer from a limb that has bean amputated and buried This is that in from time t time and many persona have been cited in support of the contention that such suffering really exists. The most striking Oar on record, however, cornea from New York, in the death of William Stall. as a of worrying over his in- ability to alleviate an imaginary itching of his leg that had been amputated a week before. He wan not aware of the amputation that his left foot itched but he could not find the foot to scratch it. I lien the attendant to the still dazed man the informs t on that his left foot had been cut off aid buried. Immediately Stall worry and steadily became weaker, his death finally ensuing.

W. J. Bryan announces that he is soon to start on a trip around the world that will take from one to two years. He will hardly be lost to public view in the meantime, as he will keep the papers telling what he is doing The presence of mad dog stories in the brings to mind that this time of year, when the mad dog is in his prime, would be a good time for the legislature to hold its Perhaps something would be done to curtail the dog's liberties The town of has two suits on hand resulting from accidents occurring in connection with the water works system there. The widow of the late S. Wallace, who was killed by the cave-in of a ditch in which ho was water pipes, has brought suit for and a colored woman who fell in an excavation left open over Bight was injured has brought suit for . i limb hurting him. The imaginary pain seemed to increase until he sent out to where th lost limb was buried and had it dug up. When the bones of the fool were uncovered it was found that a mass of roots had grown there and some of the roots had entwined tightly the big toe. The roots sere removed and the bones were buried again. After this the man made no more com- plaint of the pain in his big toe. TOO OFTEN THE CASE. A man was arrested, tried and fined last Tuesday for being drunk in a church at Spray last Sunday. Fine and costs aggregated some- thing near which his children who work in the mills had to pay. The arrest and trial was all right, but it is a pity that a term on the roads could nut have been for the line. The wrong parties were We agree with the Gazette. Too often the wrong person or persons have to suffer, as they did in this case. Such an outrage as the above incident should be strongly rebuked. The are the places for such vagabonds. All children love their matter how low they wallow; it was natural that these children, above mentioned, denied shield their debauched father, but the court that tried this man should not have been so short sighted as to have made the wrong persons suffer. We need better roads all over the state, and although we hate to see men lower themselves, still snob eases as cited above, roads are the right places for such offender. earners there would be a marked difference in the growth of the town. still holds to its belief that other things needed here is a well conducted building and loan association that will help wage earners to become home owners. The man who owns the house which lie lives feels more pride and interest in his town and makes it bettor citizen. During the summer not much is heard about the condition of the public roads. A little later when bad weather sets in and the get to experiencing trouble in their products to market, the need of good roads will be felt. This is a subject that seems not to stay on the minds of the people long enough to move i hem to action. If the rest of us were to let up on those Greensboro papers to-be, we doubt if they would ever be heard of again. Hut talking about makes an occasional squib the absence of something better. In high circles they call it graft, while with ordinary folks it is plain stealing. If were treated alike and the guilty ones made to wear convict stripes, there might not be so much of it.

If a man is not straight in his private life he will hardly be so if he is elevated to public position, hence the greater need an of wisdom in selecting men for places of trust.

If this increase keeps up there wont be anything in New York but suck- Those fellows so anxious to run that paper in Greensboro, might get somebody that has already started to let them run it a few days.

Are you on the latest fashion among the young men It was brought in by the boys who had been off to school when they returned in June. Of course, all the town boys who believe being the real thing took it up at once. This is described thus by a dis- gusted noticed for some time that all the half grown fellows seemed to be suffering with the hot weather more than anybody else. time I saw one of them he had his coat on his arm. Nothing strange about that until I to notice that no other folks seemed to be so hungry for cool weather, and then I began to look more closely. I next dis- covered that the young follows never wore suspenders, and their trousers bagged like empty meal sacks. I next observed that to be right up-to- date, a fellow must have bis sleeves rolled to the elbows, and better even than that is to have cuff hanging loosely about the wrist like a beads. My boy can't go ten yards from home without his coat, yet he hasn't had it on his back in two weeks. a fashion, and I expect to see it improved upon. By fall I hope to see the boys going with the trousers rolled up, the shins naked, and the socks dangling from a string around the neck Monroe Journal. The Farmers Mean Business. There is no politics to speak of in t State this year, but there is some- thing talk. The farmers in every cotton county in North Carolina will be in action this month. There will be township meetings to be followed by county gatherings and later by district con- The farmers were never before so intensely aroused on any one subject as they are on the of controlling the cotton crop. Only partially organized, they in bringing the price of cot- ton to ten cents and over, and encouraged by this success, they are determined to perfect their on a business basis and be- come the masters of the cotton situation. That they can do this is clearly demonstrated by what they have already accomplished through a partial and imperfect organization. The picnics, meetings and appointed for this month will no doubt result in most perfect business of the farmers that has ever been or- into which politics will scarcely be able to break its way.
