The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 23, 1902. Eow to be Lucky. In a recent number of the Wallace's Farmer the editor tells his readers how to be lucky, aDd as the prescription is not copyrighted we pass on the secret for which maDy are yearning. Go to sleep at ten, wake up at six, and get up when ycu wake. Eat L what is set before you and don't grumble. Do the work that lies before you in the very best way you can, all the while thinking how you ^ ^ * rvvn can QO li Dener. uuiu juu oio luibj do more than you ask pay for; after that you will get pay for more than you do. Don't wobble either in your walk or j.ur purposes. Don't le^rn to chew or smoke or drink. Don't allow yourself to lie or swear or take advantage of the necessities of the unfortunate. Look "habitually on the right side of things, but don't fear to look on the dark side when it is turned toward you. Believe that God intended you to be a credit to him, and that nothing really bad can happen to you so long as you trust Rfl orwnnm?/**! withnut beine^ stingy, plain spoken but not rude. l Be as shrewd as you can, but honest by all means, for no one wants to employ shrewdness without honesty nor diplomacy without sincerity. If misfortunes come, make the best of them and don't cry over spilt milk. "If you do all these you will be lucky, for you will be the sort of man always in demand everywhere in all this wide world. A job will always be waiting for you and the older you become the more profitable will be your job." . Hotter Always Seeps Zt Sandy. "My mother suffered a loDg time . from distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indigestion," r m c?o \T/% bttJCH jU.

She grew better at once and J now, at the age of seventy-six, eats anything she wants, remarking that she fears no bad effects as she has her bottle of Kodol handy." Dont waste time doctoring symptoms. Go after the cause. If your stomach is sound your health will be good. Kodol rests the stomach and strengthens the body by digesting your food. It l is nature's own tonic. J. E. Kaufmann. t ^ i Busso-Japan Fight. Victoria, B. C., July 17 ?Msjor General Sir A. R. F. Dorward, who W88 in command of the allied troops mi? m_i_ i a i at at Xieu jlsiu, utts axrivtu uv iu? steamship Empress of India. In an interview he said unless Russia withdraws from Manchuria, according to the terms of the agreement with China, there will be war in the far east, as Japan is prepared to fight to % get Russia out of that territory. Although Russia had not yet made any move toward evacuation, he h?*d no doubt that she would do so when she found that Japan was in earnest. In the meantime both powers are strengthening their garrisons and making other preparations. He said further that there was a report that * Japan and Great Britain were about to enter into an agreement to jointly garrison some of the Chinese parts. Saves a Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorchester, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a ( severe lung trouble and obstinate cough. "Often," she writes, "I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could not speak. All doctors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King's S New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured." Sufferers from coughs, colds, throat and lung trouble need this grand remedy, for it never disappoints. Cure guaranteed by J. E. Kaufmann. Price oOc and $1 00. Trial bottles free. Wide Tire Wagons. One of the best ways to prevent the formation of ruts and to keep earth roads in repair is by the v le of wide tires on all wagons carrying heavy burdens. Iu most foreign t countries they not only use the four to six inch tires on market wagons, but on many of the four wheel freight wagons, in addition to wide tirep, the rear axles are made fourteen metes longer than the front ores, so that the hind wheels will not track and form ruts. Water and narrow tires aid one another in destroxirg the roads, wtr'e on the other hand wide tire3 are road makerp. They roll and harden the surface,-and every leaded wagon becomes, in effect, a road roller. The difference between the action of a narrow tire and a wide one is about the same as (he difference between a crowbar and a tampei: the one tears up and the other packs down. By using wide tires on heavy wagons the cost of keeping roads in repair would be greatly reduced. The introduction in recent years of wide metal tires which can be placed on the wheels of aDy narrow tired vehicle at p Dominal cost has removed a very serious ot jectioD to the proposed substitution of broad tires for the narrow ones now in use The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which hae happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: "Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and ' t% t j .Luarrnoea xiemeay, wuicu x ubeu according to directions aDd with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies."' Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, N. C For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. Smart Young Alan. A young man living on Walnut Hill is a close worker in money mattere?that is, he stays close to the shore with his expenditures. He had the good luck to marry a girl whcse parents are quite wealthy, and is at present living with his wife in one of his father-in-law's houses. One day not long since, while discussing affairs with a friend, the latter asked: "Did the old gentleman give you that house?" ' Well?er?no, not exactly," was the answer. "He offered it to me, ?

The Best Food Right at Home. What makes the price of beef so high? The price of anything is high either because the demand outstrips the supply, or because of some combination of dealers to artificially raise the price. But whether a price is naturally or artificially high, the remedy is the same?greater production on an independent basis. Fortunately for consumers of beef, and fortunately for the southern farmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at least in an unsystematic manner, is natural and almost spontaneous. But in the absence of some systematic way to follow up the subject, and select the proper animals, and care for them through the winter, and finally prepare them to make fat. tender beef, there ' ? ?/-? inv nvnr1iu>!inn nil the farm. The farmer in the cotton region is surrounded with all the elements to make beef raising successful. The climate is such that there is natural forage most of the year. It requires just a little forethought to provide for the few winter months. The material?cheap material?is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls. The meal and hulls are offered just as you want them by the Southern Cotton Oil company, of the Carolinas and Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from head| quarter.', at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga., or Charlotte, N. C. Mixed in the proper proportion, this makes the most nutritious and acceptable feed that is now available. It is a feed, which by varying the proportions will answer equally well for a sustaining ration or for a fattening ration. It contains all the ingredients of nutrition, namely, fat, nitrogen and carbohydrates. The cotton seed meal contains fat and nitrogen and the hull contains carbohydrates. dud ? wouiaa c accept it. "How's that?'" asked the frieod. "Well,'' answered the man who bad made the lucky matrimonial venture, /. ill 11 i i "you see, tne nouse realty peiongs 10 me. I'm living in it, rent free, and I'll get it when the old man dies. If I accepted it now I'd have to pay the tases." Poisoning' the System. It is through the bowels that, the body is cleansed of impurities. Codstipation keeps these poisons in the system, causing headache, dulness and melancholia at first then unsightly eruptions and finally serious illness unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and promote easy, healthy action of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently but by strengthening the bowels enable them to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. J. E. Kaufmann. Three Towns Destroyed. Qf P onl -Tnlrr 1 ft Ponni-fo njViinli A good sustaining ration is made up of 24 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal per day, and a good fattening ration is 20 pounds of hulls and 5 pounds of meal. These proportions in both cases must be varied to suit individual eases, according to the condition and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should begin with more hulls and less meal and the proportion of meal gradually increased. A steer may be fattened ana put in good condition for the market on 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and one ton of hulls. At average prices, the cost of this feed in the southern States would be about $0.00. There is great pront m lattening beef for the market, even at ordinary prices, but at present the industry should prove unusually attractive. The following estimate of the profit that can easily be made in this business is taken from a book which hal been carefully prepared on this subject, "Cotton and Cotton Oil," by D A. Tompkins. AVERAGE PROFIT IN FATTENING A STEER ON COTTON SEED PRODUCTS. Cost of steer. 100 lbs, at 2 l-2c..$23 00 Cost of hulls, 2,000 lbs at $4.00 per ton 4 00 Cost of meal, 400 lbs, at $20.00 per ton 4 00 Cost of attendance and sundries.. 6 00 Total cost of fattened animal $39 00 Sale of fattened steer, 1,300 lbs, at 3 l-2c 45 50 Profit per steer $650 The price quoted for the fattened steer, it will be noted, is very low, considering, present prices. ^ . Ths Verdict of a Jury. "Nothing is more uncertain than the action of a jury,*' paid a lawyer prominent in New York. "I remember a etory my father told me when I was a boy in Alabama. The story was of his Satanic majesty and a plain citizen who met one day cn a narrow pathway cut in the edge of a cliff On one side there yawDed a precipice; on the other side was the solid rock. There was only room for one to pass, and of these two one must lie down and let the other walk over him. "If you'll propound three quertions I can't answer,' suggested Satan, 'I'll lie down and let you pass over my body.' The citizen asked: "What is whiter than snow ? "Cotton,' was the answer. "What is sweeter than sugar V "That's easy again?molasses.* "What will be the next verdict renderd in this county by a petit jury' "Pass on your way,' said the devil as he made a carpet of himsolf.''

Sure cure for piles and skin diseases. Beware of counterfeits. J. E. Kaufmann. ? Give the Baby Water. If there iB a baby at your house, don't in the name of humanity, neglect to give it a drink of water at intervals during the day?and night, if the heat is intense. The ignorance and lack of thought on the part of mothers and nurses in this matter alone, physicians say, is the cause of not only a fretful and cross baby 1 many times, tut is responsible for many a sick spell. So remember this, aDd tell your friend who has a child not big enough to make its wants known to give the little fellow a drink. I beseech it of you, reader, as often as it lies in your power during this summer, put fresh water to the mouths of dumb, helpless creature, and help to alleviate a lot of suffering thereby. Ic may be a baby, it may be the family dog or chick ms, horses or cows, but see that it is done. I was highly amused one evening at | the theatre at a little domestic farce j given between acts where the husi bard and father was left in care of a very young infant. It cried furiously, and be ran and got a bottle of milk that looked like it would hold a gallon, fastened on the nursing apparatus, and in about thirty seconds the great bottle was drained dry of its white liquid. But even the baby (if it bad been a real one) would need its sip of water, occasionally, two. lTeed:,More Help. Often the over- .axed organs of digestion cry out for help by Dyspepsia's pains, nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver complaints, bowel disorders. Such troubles call for prompt use of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They are gentle, thorough and guaranteed to cure. 25c., at J. E. Kaufmann's drug store. . Conduct Peculiar.

Latimer uttered one very sensible sentence in his speech in Charleston; that is, that we stood in our own light in the constant abusing of Republicans in Congress. That is the trouble in the Democratic party in this State now. Any man who has any independence in political thought is immediately jumped upon and abused as if he were a traitor to his State and people. This cannot last always.
