The article that appears below is

for Scotland spirit
applies so well to Greenville thar we
copy it in the hope that our people will
heed the lesson it carries.
Some years ago a good man who
meant well in all that hé said and did,
advised us to be conservative. That
good man has been deed for some time
and has gene to his reward, which we
have reasons to hope and believe is in
the obetter land.�
And while his counsel was prudent
and wise it is just possible for one to
make a mistake by adhereing to it too
long and too far. Conservatism is
indeed desirable in ell and every busi-
ness and in every sphere of humen
activity ; but it is worth while to make
some distinction between conservatism
ard fossilism.
Some men think they are wisely and
beautifully conservative. when " they
are all the while becoming fossilized.
Some people who are no more than a
bump on a log, so far as activity ges,
congratulate themselves that they are

just possible for people co make such a
misteke and all the time think they are
acting very wisely.
The Commonwealth wishes to make
a clear and plain application of all this
to Scouand Neck, Lime has been
when people in almost every communi-
ty in North Cazolina, and in many
communities outside cf North Carolina,
thought scotland Neck a progressive
town; but that opinion has changed
during the past year to two.
The cown seems to have made a
creat effort to be conservative during
the stringent times, and we give it us
our opinion, which all can take at
what they think it is worth, that Scot-
land Neck is on the verge of fossiliza~
tion. Simply because times are said
to be hard is no reason for sitting still
the tide of
doubt seriously if
and letting opportunity

always been. Hard thimes has been a
ery otime whereof the memory of man
tunneth not to the contraryTT"cer-
tainly so far as we remember. If the
people of many slow towns had had
the opportunity in 1776 that the peo.
ple of Scotland Neck haye today, we
dare say these towns would not be
what they are; and we Care say
further that they would have
meuch*more with the opportunity than
Scotland Neck
now.

out mistakes that Scotland Neck has
made asa town, thereby losing scme
fine opportunities to olengthen _ its

cords and strengthen its stakes,T and}:
many have ugrecd with us when it was
tov late. '
And now let us say to the people of
Scotland Neck, among whom we have
lived for more than a dozen years, that
we think them capable of grdat things
and great development if they will
only combine their euergies; but we
seund the warning, ominously too, that
this town is in dangervft becoming an
oat patch, compared to what it might
be, by settling down to an immovable
conservatism. ~
Wake up, gentlemen, or the day is
not far ahead of you when you will
wish you had ogot up at six.�
We do uot wish tu see any wildcat
enthusiasm ; but we do say that unless
the business men of the town bestir
themselves a littie more and exbibit a
little more unanimity of purpese the
tide will recede and leave them ohigh
and dry� on the shore, when they
might have floated out on the foud

THE PLAIN TRUTH,
Matters the Busmess Men Should
Consider
THe ReFrrector does not frequently
mention the need of a Board ot Trade
and factories just to have something to
talk about or simply to be filling space.
But it is evident that it Greenville does
not do somethiag that will make _ busi-
ness cote through other channels be-
side mercantile lines, the town will lose
ground rather than be progressive.
There are enough mercantile establish-
ments here to handle all the business
in reach, and what the t-wn needs is
the establishment uf such manafactur-
ng enterprises as will enlarge and in-
crease trade. ~he way to get these
factories is for the buslness men to take
concerted action in that direction, and
the best way to bring about this eon-
~eried moyement is through the organ-
ization of a Board of Trade. It we
keep still and let other towns take
away vur trade we will have only
ourselves to blame for it. Don't every-
body wait for somebody else to make
the start in this matter,

Small-Pox Remedy.
The following remedy tor small-pox
was taken from the Staunton (Califor-
hia) Herald and published in theT Bal-
timore Sun some years ago :

has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of casez. It will prevent or

pittings are filling, When Jenner,

world of science hurled an avelance of
fame upon his head, but when the most

recipe as a panacea for small-pox it
passed unheeded. It is as unfwling as
fate and conquers in every instance,
It is harmless when taken by a well]
person. It will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as I have
used it and cured my child of scarler-
ever; here itisasI haye used it to
cure small-pox. When learned
physicians said the patient must die it
before cured:
Sulphate of Zinc, ore grain.
F oxglove (Digitalis), one graia.
Halt a teaspoonful of Sugar.
Mix with two tablespoonstul of wa-
ter. When thoroughly mixed add two
ounces of water. Take a spoonful
every hour. Either disease will dis-
appear in twelve ours, For a child

If counties would compel their phy-
sicians to use this there would be no
need of pest houses. It you value ad-
vice and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
IRIN SN,
A Pleasant Simple, but Safe Ef-
fectual Cure forjit.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable,
The usual symptoms are a fuli or
bloating sensation after eating, accom"
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and luvgs and
difficult breathing; headachc fickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling,
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and i the
interior of the stomach could be seen
it would slowa slimy, inflamed con-
Jition.
The cure for this common and
obstinate trouble is found in a treat-
ment which causes the tood to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has a ume to ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach.
To secure a prompt and_ healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestiea is
secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal en fruit acids.
These iablets can now be found at
all drug stores uacer the name of
StuariTs Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not
being a patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their recular use after meals,
Mr. N..J. Booher ct 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, Ill., writes: «*Catarrh
is « local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the liging membrane of the nose
becomes inflamed and the poisonous
discharge theretrom, passing backwerd
into the throat, reaches tbe stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical antnorities prescribed for me
for three years tor catarrh of stomach
withcut cure, but today I am _ the
happiest of men after using only one
box of StuartTs Dyspepsize ~ablets, I
cannot find appropriate werds to
express my good :eeling.
I have fuund ilesh, appetite and

FRESH PORK CLUBS.
Curious Organizations Formed In the State
: of Maine.
There are more than 1,000 fresh
pork clubs in Maine today, and some
of them have been in existence for
over a century. Though the state
assessors and census enumerators
furnish no statistics bearing on the
subject, it is probable that the total
membership of the Maine fresh pork
clubs exceeds 10,000 persons.
A fresh pork club is organized and
maintained to distribute fresh pork,
every member coming in for as
omuch sparerib, chop or shoulggr as
he is willing to distribute. For ob-
vious and anatomical reasons the
membership of any individual fresh
pork club is limited to the amount
of lean pork which an average pig.
isiable t6 furnish. As the best fed
vig is not all fat, and as one family
ig unable to consume the lean meat
of a killing before it spoils, the fresh
pork club comes in and eats the un-
salted meat, thus saving the expense
of putting up ice and buying refrig-
erators.
The workings of a fresh pork club
are easy to understand. An average
Maine pig when fat enough to kill
weighs about 300 pounds, and of
this perhaps 50 pounds are in spare-
ribs, chops and other lean parts that
are unfit to salt and unsuited for the
smokehouse. In the absence of ice-
houses, and refrigerators much of
this pork would spoil before the
family could eat it, so the 50 pounds
are divided into ten parcels of five
pounds each and nine of these are
sent to as many members of the
fresh pork club, while the tenth is
kept to be eaten at home. 7
It is seldom that a club-contains
more than ten families, because
every additional member divides
the pork into smaller parcels. Ap-
plications for membership to the
different clubs often are filled years
in advance, and whenever a vacan-
cy occurs the new member is noti-
fied of his election by receiving a
portion of the first pig that is killed
by a member of the club. When the
number of waiting applicants
reaches nine or ten, they are noti-
fied of the fact, and they organize
asa new club, with full powers to
distribute pork, choose new mem-
bers or discharge old ones,
The advantages to be gained from
active membership in a fresh pork
club are obvious. The pig killing
at intervals until Christmas. The
family which is not a member of a
club can have more fresh pork than
it needs ~for perhaps a week and
must salt all the rest. By joining a
club the same family can prolong
the fresh pork season from the time
the first member kills a pig until
the Jast porker in the club is salted,
down for winter.
fresh pork once a year, the club
members can have it ten times a
year and keep up the revels from
Labor day to New YearTs. So im-
portant have the fresh pork clubs
becomo in many communities that
weddings, parties and many social
events are arranged so they may
come off in pig killing time. In
case of a birthday or wedding anni-
versary one of the club members
kills his pig a few days before the
festival in order to supply the
guests. The men who make and sell
refrigerators complain bitterly, and
the ice carts never visit the neigh-
borhoods where fresh pork clubs
flourish, but the members care little
about what people may say as long
as the proper amount of fresh pork
comes around on time."New York

. Kentucky's Oldest Church.
~oThe oldest church in the state,
perhaps the first one of any denomi-
nation ever organized in the dark
and bloody ground,�T said Mr. K. J.
Hampton of Winchester, ois the
Providence Baptist church in Clark
county, seven miles south of Win-
chester, on the Boonesboro road,
The old organization was first form-
ed in Culpeper county, Va., in April,
1780, when churches were few and
far between. A few months after-
~ward the entire membership decided
to locate in Daniel BooneTs new pre- |
serves and came in a body, bringing
the church register and ritual, down
PowellTs valley and through BooneTs
pass, worshiping daily en route, and
locating in what is now Clark coun-
ty. A log house was first built in
1781, but a few years later a solid
stone structure was erected by the
pionecr Baptists. This early day
sanctuary has stood the test of time,
the masonry showing nota crack to-
day, having stood as firm as the
zealous Christians who built it. The
building is over 100 years old, Near
by the present members, 180 in
number, have built a more modern
and commodious house of worship,
but the old stone church is stilla
hallowed monument to the Chris-
tianity of our forefathers. Daniel
Boone often worshiped in the log
house built by these old settlers, but
the last one of that brave few passed
away long since.TT"Louisville Post.
