Mr. Ragland Write* Interesting
Letter on Pais Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
! Ragland, of this place, writes; “I have
! been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. Price 25c.N. C. izi.
I “Clean Up the Bowel* anti
j Keep Them Clean"
There are many remedies to be
had for constipation, but the difh
culty is to procure one *hat acts
without violence. A remedy that
does Jiot pertorm
bv force what
should be accotn- ;
plished by persua
sion is Dr. Miles’
Laxative Tablets.
After using them.
Mr. N. A. Waddell,
315 Washington
St., Waco, Tex.,
says:
“Almost all my
life I have bean
troubled with cooBttpatlon. and have
triad many remedies, all of which
seamed to cause pain without s‘v*nc
much relief. I Anally tried Dr. Milea
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action Is pleasant and
mm, and their chocolate taste maxee
them aaay to take. I am more than
(led to recommend them."
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean,” is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
■ danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. Do not delay too long,
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets ares
new remedy for this old complaint,
and a great improvement over the
cathartics you have been using m
the past. They taste like candy
and work Ske a charm. A trial
will convince you.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets ars
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents
a box containing 25 doses. _ It nos
found satisfactory af'.er trial, re
; turn the box to your druggist and
he will return yov.r money.

THE POLITICIANS
FLOCK TOGETHER
In Kittle Rock—Some of th
Brundidge Forces Oppose
A Contest.
Sp 'rial to Independent.
Little Rock, -June 30.—Politi
cians from every quarter of the i
state flocked to Little Rock Sun
day, and political caucuses were |
held in the headquarters of both j
Hays and Brundidge, in which
the threatened contest over the
gubernatorial nomination was i
discussed. Members of the I
State Democratic Central Com- j
mittee attended both confer- \
ences, and took part in. the de- j
liberations.
Some of the Brundidge sup
porters counciled against a con- i
test, but it was pointed out that j
it was not a personal matter |
with Col. Brundidge, but one of j
the party. Col. Brundidge has j
been willing to let the returns go I
before the Central Committee as j
they were reported in. but his j
friends have protested, saying j
thflt if thorn hn< hoon mrrim. 1
tion, the future success of the
party depends upon its being
ferreted out and those guilty
punished.
It was also suggested that a
proposition be made to Judge
Hays to have him join in the re
quest for a full investigation in
all of the doubtful counties,
whether they reported majori
ties for Hays or Brundidge.
Unless there is a change of
heart, the contest will come up
at noon, with a court order to
investigate every county fully.

If your back la straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight is

Uvea when you’re sitting you keep
your back straight. There Is an air oi

and mental. In short* you have plent>

If your back Is stooping and round

took, yon are pro*# to lolling about
tad too lasy or too feeble to take t
front rank In the battle of llto. The
tramp is an excellent example.
If you are a criminal, your back Is
stoopod or round, but the scholarly
stoop of the bookworm must not be
confounded with the foregoing. Thor*
Is a difference which la difficult to de

Marriage by Exaggerating the

Score# of people lose their chance*
of being happily married through mnk
log an unnecessary obstacle of mon

propose to a girl because of his small
income. Very often much misery, mis
understanding, and tangled lives result
trem the silenc# More unfortunat*
love affairs are the resalt of what ha*
not been said than of spoken words.
When a man has a small, sure In
come. and a prospect of increase,
there Is no legitimate ieason for his
aot speaking of his love; no reason
for that matter, to pre-ent marriage
People are so desperately afraid
though, of beginning married life In *
small way. They fear the sacrifices
#hlch they will be called upon to make
—o* the criticism to which they will
be suojected. Many years of happi

WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering of Agriculture Mas 3een
From the Beginning of Tore in

Agriculture today depends chiefly
upon the work of the primeval woman
We are indebted to the nomad s wife
for the greatest of ill iconomic serv
ices 3ho tamed the young of the
more tamable animals, gave them to
her savage husband, and made of him
the more civil herdsman who for
ages followed his flocks after the man
ner of Jacob and Lot and Job This
fertile wife of the nomad became 'Art
wife of farmers, and she made a farmer
of her son by placing in bla hand the
pr»ctous seed of 'he grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, 'be bread at
man, and the concentrated food of all
our domestic animals
Where did this ancient, mother get
these precious seeds* In many cases
we do not know, and cannot sven
guess 3he found some plan' with
one or two rich seeds, planted 'h-'m.

artificial application of Darwin’s law
of selection that now no botanist dares

IN HOUSES OF CORNSTALK
Primitive Dwelling Place* That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Cl*** of
Egyptian Peasanta.
On the outskirts of Alexandria w*
passed numerous group* of Bedouins,
camping by the side of tho Mahmou
dteh canal. Out in the field* men and
women, dressed alike In the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures -made of
cornstalks. They are used as tempo
rary homes at certain seasons of the
year, as, for instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on I entered one, and found
it to be not more than five feet
square; one could not stand upright
inside. The place contained nothin*
but a few jars and cooking utensil*.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up in their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, but
leaving the feet bare. The hut I saw
was occupied by a man and his son.
These people, of course, are the fel
laheen— the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of the poorest class.—Christian

coin counting Is done by weighing, but
there Is an ingenious machine which
digests silver dollars, quarters and
halves and counts them as fast as s
man can turn the handle. If the sit
I ver dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower 835
miles high If they could be laid In
a continuous line, each touching the

Egyptian Justice.
In ancient Sgypt all court business
was carried on in writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap
peal. The laws lay before the judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
In writing how he had been Injured,
whereupon the defendant stated In
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the Judges de
liberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
tor the party who had in the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the prealdent of the
Judges touched with an tmage of
Thmel, the “Goddess of Truth," the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.
The President.
The president of the United .Jtatee
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the Individual
states or of the United States. He is
pttfely and simply the national execu
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would need to be
an absolute monarch. like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkey. As
it is, he is Bimply the head servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate. Instead of
making the laws the laws are mads
by the legislative servants of tha pm
ala tor him to executes.
