COMPLETION CLOSE AT HAND.
White River Route Will Soon Be Open
for Through Traffic.
Within a very short time the
White River Route of the Iron
Mountain will be opened for
traffic. This line extends from
Newport on the main line of the
Iron Mountain through Inde
pendence, Stone, Baxter, Marion
and Boone counties, Arkansas,
and Taney, Stone, Lawrence and
Jasper counties, Missouri, to
Carthage, on the line of the Mis
souri Pacific. The country tra
versed is among the finest in the
United States, and its possibili
ties are boundless. The open
ing of this line for business will
be the realization of the fondest
dreams of the friends of this
section of country. Its natural
resources are such as to assure a
phenomenal development within
a very short time, and the whole
state will be benefited by the
line.
The settlement of the question
as to the junction point of the
Springfield Southwestern with
the White River Route at Crane,
/-*i < __ A ^ m ^ A A
Otuilc CUUIltJf iuioovuii, ****«
hailed with delight by those who
have been watching the work of
the system. Those in a position
to know are certain that Crane is
the logical point and that the
management did well to select
this place.
The work on the White River
route has been delayed somewhat
by heavy rains, but there is lit
tle doubt but that it will be open
ed for business within the very
near future. It may be that the
road will not be ready for regu
lar business when it is first open
ed, owing to numerous grades
which are yet to be reduced, and
it may be impossible to carry
regular tonnage over them for a
short time.
For miles the road is laid on a
solid rock foundation and when
completed will not require rebal
lastmg, as is the case with lines
built on earth roadbeds. Esti
mates of tonnage possible from
this section of the state are enor
mous and within the next twelve
months the management expects
to have a paying property.
His Own Advice.
Going directly from John Wan
amaker's dinner table, at the
fashionable hotel in Saratoga,
Booker T. Washington thus ad
dressed the convention of negro
business men in New York:
“We should let no influence
turn our eyes irom me iact cnai
while wrong and injustice often
touch our lives, the masses of our
people are dependent upon the
white people of the South, in a I
large degree, for employment,!
education and protection of life
and propeity. We should see,
that no fire of racial hostility is |
lighted. Ten million members
of our race, the great masses, j
are in the South, and there, in
my opinion, they will remain, j
There is a group of white men in
the South, however little we may
hear of them at a distance, who
are , constantly exerting them
selves to help forward our cause,
and we should see that no action
on our part embarrasses them or;
makes their task more difficult.”
It is strange, indeed, that a
man of this negro's wonderful
ability cannot understand that
the gratification of his vanity to
mingle on terms of social equal- ■
ty with white people is doing
more perhaps to fan the fires of
racial hostility” than all things
else together.
Booker Washington is the most
conspicuous example in the eyes
of his race. He is in position to
do his race immense good or im
mense harm. He can more
easily than any one else make
friends or enemies for the ne
groes among the people with:
THE EVILS OF
CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to
Which He or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to U9e a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having

whom they live. He can lead
them along the quiet paths of
peace, Jiappiness and industrious
effort to better their material
conditions in life, or he can in
flame them with vain longings
for conditions beyond their reach
and render them a constant men
ace to the whites. He, more
than all others, needs to take
very much to heart the splendid
counsel he gives the other mem
bers of his race.—Batesville

“I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass

gave relief. After taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE the result was
surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like line stones, etc.,
and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man.
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE has done me $1,000 worth of good.”

Thos. W. Carter, of Ashboro, N. C., had Kidney Trouble and
