^ Many women and doctors do
not recognize the real symptoms
of derangement of the female
organs until too late.
“ I had terrible pains along1 my
spinal cord for two years and suffered
dreadfully. I was given different
medicines, wore plasters; none of
these things helped me. Reading of
the cures that Lydia 11. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has brought
about, I somehow felt that it was
what I needed and bought a bottle to
take. How glad I am that I did so;
two bottles brought me immense re
lief, and after using thr,ee bottles more
1 felt new life and blood surging
through my vein3. It seemed as
though there had been a regular house
cleaning through my system, that all
the sickness and poison had been taken
out and new life given me instead. I
have advised dozens of my friends to use
Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable

OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.
While Mainly Agricultural, the
Greut lleNouree of the South is
11m Boym iiixl Girls*.
Time v.ns when the opinion pre
vailed that the natural resources of
the south were mainly agricultural.
The wealth of the section was found
in the grain fields of the border states
and the cotton plantations of the far
ther south. It was known that there
were iron and coal and copper in our
mountains, and vast forests of timber;
but none of these was then thought
about by the people of the country
generally as being a source of great
wealth.
In the last quarter of a century,
there has been a change of opinion on
these matters. It has been found that
one of the chief of all our natural
resources is the mines deposited by
nature in our hills and mountains,
and it has been demonstrated that we
may become a manufacturing people,
that it is not necessary that we
should send away our raw material
and bring back the finished product.
We can do things as well as other peo
ple if we will only try.
There is, however, one thing that we
have been slow' in finding out, though
there is evidence of an awakening
now. That is, it is not possible for
us to accomplish the best results and
to help ourselves, without first train
ing- the minds of our young people
so that they will know how to do that
which is to be of self-defense, if there
be no higher .motive. The people of
the south must be equipped by educa
tion for the work that is to be done,
and to do it at the best time and in
the best way. In other words, as a
niatter of self-defense, if there be no
higher motive, the people of the south
must be equipped by education for the
work to be done or else they must
have men and women from the out
side come in and do the work for
them.
We are now pretty well acquainted
with the natural resources of the sec
tion; will we prepare ourselves to take
advantage and develop them? If we
mean to do this, it follows beyond all
doubt that our young people must be
educated, and whatever the cost it
must be provided for and it must be
done. To undertake to keep our place
among our sister communities, and to
compete in the industrial world with
them, without educating our boys and
gi^ls, would be as reasonable as it
would be to undertake to build a great
railroad line by the employment of
one-legged and one-armed laborers,
and to expect it wil be done as well
and as expeditiously as with able-bod
ied men with all their members strong
and perfect.—Knoxville Journal and
Tribune.
OUR HOPE THE SCHOOL ROOM
Tlie Whole Secret of Human Life Lick
In the Matter an<l Mnuner
of ^duration.
The whole secret of human life lies
in the matter of education. As a twig
is bent so will it grow. A boy edu
cated to do the things that come to
him unnaturally, at maturity will in
nine cases out of ten result in failure.
He can never attain that success that
would have been his in another voca
tion.
Only a limited amount of work is to
be found in the professions. In manu
facture and invention there is abso
lutely no limit. One iftvefrtion will
lead to another, and one class of man
ufactured goods will soon create a de
mand for another class' or a better
grade.
If all the south’s raw material was
manufactured into the finished prod
uct it would make this the richest
country -ever known in history. We
sell cotton at eight cents a pound,
and buy it back from the Tfew En
gland mills at from 40 cents to $1.60
a pound. We sell pig iron at $16 per
ton. The steel plants in Ohio and
Pennsylvania get from $;>00 to $5;P^a
for it. So it is. all the way through'
the list oi raw products.
The foundation for a change in this
state of affairs, must be laid in the
school room.—.North .Mississippi Her

KnowJe«l«re in l’ower.
Knowledge is power, but it is pow
er merely because it enables us to do
something, and to be something* is
what constitutes character, and this
last is the only thing which we can
take into the world to come. Educa
tion is not reading and writing aldpe;
it is reading and writing, but it is
something more, something better,
something higher. We read and write
not as an end, but as a means. If .we’
take what we know to be the end,
we shrill never do anything. All that
there is in the books, calculus, poetry,
astronomy, science, whatever things
may be taught tu us are valuable only
because they enable us to do some
thing worth being done and to become
something worth being.—Gov. Charles
B. Aycock.

welfare, is thrown wide open. We tfill

IMPROVED ON NATURE.
The Cane of n Crooked ken Which
Wui Successfully Hnnrtlcil by
William McKinley.
A year or two after William McKinley
had begun the practice of law at Canton,
()., he distinguished himself in a humorous
fashion in one of his first successful cases.
As often happens in court, the humor was
not merely for the sake of the joke, but for
serious purpose. Mr. Edward T. Koe, in
“The Life Work of William McKinley,’’
tells the story:
The ca?e was a suit against a surgeon,
whom the plaintiff charged with having
set his leg so badly that it was bowed. Mc
Kinley defended the surgeon, and found
himself pit ted against .John McSweeney,
one of the most brilliant, lawyers of the
Ohio bar.
McSweeney brought his client into court,
and had him expose the injured limb to the
jury. It. was very crooked, and the case
looked bad for the surgeon. Hut McKinley
had both his eyes open, as usual, and fixed
them keenly on the man’s other leg.
As soon as the plaintiff was turned over
to him. he asked that the other leg should
also be bared. The plaintiff and Mc
Sweeney objected vigorously, but the judge
ordered it done. Then it appeared that his
second leg was still more crooked than that
which the surgeon had set.
“My client seems to have done better by
this man than nature itself did,’’ said Mc
Kinley, “and I move that the .suit be dis
missed, with a recommendation to the
plaintiff that he ha#e the other leg broken
and then set by the surgeon who set the
first one.”

A man had been absent for some time,
and during his absence had raised a pretty
luxuriant ^rop of whiskers, mustache, etc.
On returning home he visited a relitive,
whose little girl he was very fond of.
The little girl made no demonstration
toward saluting him with a kiss, as was
usual.
"Why, child,” said the mother, “don’t
you give Uncle Will a kiss?”
“Why, ma,” returned the little girl, with
the most perfect simplicity. “I don’t see

The blood is life. We derive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the doc
tors have been saying from time immemo
rial.- A healthy body, a fresh appearance,
and generally all tile abilities we possess
depend on that source of life. It is, there
fore, the duty of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its inlinite wisdom, has
given us a thermometer indicating the state
of the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small erup
tions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen
erally a sign that the blood is not in nor
mal state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention; If more attention were paid to
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which we
suffer would become unknown, and the hu
man body would become stronger and health
ier. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood can
be purified and poisonous substances re
moved from it by the use of Dr. August
Koenig’s Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.
