Indigestion causes catarrh. Re? peated attacks of Indigestion inflames th? mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus? ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of tbs juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.

Husky Folk From Europe Coining to This Country With a View to Work. What the South may expect through immigration from abroad as a source of relief from its labor problem was suggested in the landing one day last week of more than a thousand Poles, Russians, Jews, Germans, Bohemians and other Europeans at Galveston, I most of them destined for Texas points I and described as a healthy, strong looking lot of men, women and chil I dren, ready and willing to hustle for j an honest living. They came i>y one j of the vessels of the North German Lloyd Steamship company; and the experiment of establishing a line direct from Bremen to Galveston has been so successful that Mr Frederich von Pilis, a director of the company, who has been studying conditions in the South, announces that on his return to Ger? many he wili recommend the estab lisment- of another line to New Or? leans, which he regards as the gate? way to the" great agricultural States of Lous?ana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. In an interview with the New York Herald Mr. von Pilis says that European immigrants are beginning to learn that there is something more in America than New York, and he suggests that Southern States in need of , good farmers, of whom hundreds of thousands will arrive in this .coun? try within the next few years, co-op? erate with his- company in bringing the South to the?f attention. He ex? presses the belief th?$ while Italy will continue to "send immigrants here and Russia will continue to pour Jews into the cities, the next flood of immigra? tion will come from the German dis? tricts of Southern Russia, Roumania, Bulgaria and Hungary, and that they will be a type of the men that the South needs. He says: "The people wno are now turning their eyes to America are agricultu? ralists, and I fully expect to see a great exodus of them to your shores. Some will go to South America, but the great mass will strike out for, America, and their destination will not be the centres of population. They will want to cling to their occupation, that of tilling the soil. The German residents of the countries I have named are powerful men, of exempla? ry habits, and their idea of success in life is to have homes of their own and to rear healthy families. "These people, would be a boon to the South. They are accustomed to temperature and soil much the same, and would bring about an almost mag? ical development of the great area which now lacks proper cultivation. They are natural farmers and hard workers. They will start a new race in the South-will be the real pio? neers. Twenty years from now I con? fidently predict, America will be glad she left her doors open and pointed' the way to the land of the cotton fields. "There need be no fear in America that Europe is unloading upon her her undesirable population. It is cuite true that many of the immigrants, notably from Italy, are not the best sort of citizens, but those who come from central Europe are the kind of people that Europe does not wish to lose. Many of those who come from Italy spend part of the year here and return to their homes with their American earnings. This is a custom which should be discouraged. But in the case of the people from Hungary. Bohemia, Roumania, Bulgaria and other spurts of Europe, they emigrate for good. They sever all ties abroad and start out with the determination ?o link their fortunes with those of America and to send for their relatives as soon 'as they can scrape together sufficient money." Texas can tell the rest of the South what the German is in agriculture. Half a century or more ago many Ger? mans settled in that State, and, like their fellows in other parts of the country, have become substantial ele? ments and thorough Americans. If the later comers approach them in qualities of industry and thrift, the South cannot hesitate for a moment to encourage hundreds of thousands of them to people that section and to turn hundreds of thousanrs of acres of fertile land, now lying idle or to be brought into the market as lumbering operations advance, into productive farms. Hall a million progressive white farmers Jrought into the South would do much toward solving the ne? gro problem there as far as it affects agriculture. They would either com? pel the negro to n ove cn or to adjust himself io a condition which must be his for many cent.uries. ii he is to be of permanent value to himself or to the country. But the need of hundreds of thou? sands of workers is felt in other lines than agriculture. Only the other day Mr. C. H. Ackert, fourth vice-president Of the Southern Railway, was quoted by the Nashville American to the ef? fect that railroad labor is scarcer now than it has been for many years, and that before the summer is over the de? mand will be the greatest ever known in the country. lie said: "Not only the Southern, but every other railroad in the country needs Heretofore the South, has had as much labor as it could use, except at short intervals during- the cotton sea? son, but this year labor will be short all the year. There is more work in progress throughout the South than there ever has been, and the Western, particularly Northwest and Southwest, roads are sending everywhere for la? borers. While they will not draw very heavily on this section, they will get some and prevent the shifting labor? ers from coming this way. Naturally, many railroads throughout the South? east will be unable to-accomplish all they have planned to do on this ac? count, but looking at the situation in a general way, all this is encouraging." The story of the railroads is re pleated in the mining districts, in the lumber camps, at the furnaces, in " the cotton mills, and, in fact, in almost every field where the work of South? ern development is waiting to be done thoroughly. Immigration offers the only possible relief.-Manufacturers' Record. . The Road to Independence. From our personal 'knowledge and observation there has been hundreds of tons of hay and thousands of bush? els of corn shipped to St. George during the past few.months. Instead of our people going to the Western markets for these supplies, they should be selling the same stuff. Car load after car load of hay and grain are being shipped here for the pur? pose of feeding stock that are now busily engaged in making cotton. This is not sound business method. As sure as the sun rises such practice will bring us back to six cents cotton; It matters not how high the price of cot? ton might go, the farm is the place to get your home supplies. Do this and enjoy independence-Dorchester Ea? gle. How About This? It is said that spelling.is getting to tbe a lost art. It is not strange per? haps, that persons whose vocations do toot require much writing should be (floored occasionally by words of com? mon use, but what shall be said of school teachers who manifest this .weakness? A few days ago the 300 .school teachers of a county in Penn? sylvania were subjected to a test in spelling. Only thirteen words were given them, all common words in gen? eral use. Only one teacher passed the ?test successfully. The words were auxiliary, beef steak. Tennessee, pro? ceed, supersede, precede, picnicking, sieve, siege, cylinder, succotash and .dessiccated. Millions in Development. The Pittsburg capitalists who bought the three water powers from the local company at Spartanburg, will place one million dollars in the development of the powers as an in? itial investment, the amount to be in? creased as the plants are extended. The Catawba Power Company, on its two plants, has.expended two million five hundred thousand dollars. The Whitney Company will expend five million dollars on its Yadkin river development works. This makes an investment by three electrical devel? opment companies in this immedfate section of the South of $8,500,000. This does not include* the 4C's invest? ment, nor the Fries Power Company. These properties would bring the to? tal close to $10,000,000. All of this development work is of recent ac? complishment. It is the initial work of the kind in the South and gives ev? idence of what is to be expected in that line in the future.-Charlotte Chronicle.
