NOTES AND COMMENTS.
That was a capital editorial the:
Edgefield Chronicle had last week i.i
reply to the Johnston Monitor, but j
somehow or another it had a very
familiar ring about it.
* * *
Last Saturday when informed by
her father that her mother would prob
ably come from Washington to attend
the remainder of the trial, Nan Pat-!
terson declared : “I’ll never consent |
to have mama come here to see me be-1
hind prison bars and in the court room
on trial for murder,’’ which goes to
prove that Nan not only retains her 1
presence of mind in this great crisis
in her life hut has respect for the
feelings of her dear mother as well.
No doubt she realizes the fact that:
should her mother lie permitted toj
be present in court it would result in
the manifestation of the most pathet
ic scene yet displayed during her in
carceration and trial.

The Russian government has pro
mulgated a law providing for increase
of taxation for war purposes, the. total
product of which is estimated at
$11,000,000. Besides the great slaugh
ter of human lives this increase of
taxation presents the striking and aw
ful truth that the assertion of Gen.
Sherman that war is hell expresses a
true sentiment. These words are very
unpleasant to the ear but in our opin
ion no better definition of the Russia-
Japan war could be given. It doesn’t
scoai right that the other nations of
the world should remain neutral and
permit such a deplorable state of af
fairs to exist. While each nation is
supposed to be competent to manage
its own affairs, when one fails to act
within the bounds of reason we think
that for the sake of humanity other
nations should interfere.

The Blacksburg Chronicle made its
appearance and launched out upon the
oc"an of literary endeavor last Friday.
Ti e editor expresses sentiments in
his introductory remarks that bespeak
suc* ess for this new enterprise. Mr.
Pfeiffer has had experience in news-
paper work and he realizes the fact
that in order to make a success of his
undertaking he must have the co
operation and support of the town of
Blacksburg and surrounding commun
ity. Several attempts have been made
to run a paper at that place but for
some leason or other a temporary
standing has been the only result and
no paper has yet become firmly estab
lished. However, we hope that this
attempt may not meet with the same
fate as its predecessors and that much
good may he accomplished. We feed
a great interest in the entire county
and are glad to hear of new enterpris
es in any section. We now doff our
cap to the Blacksburg Chronicle.
The Interurban Railroad.
The following letter to Mr. A. N.
Wood and Col. T. B. Butler was receiv-
I ed by them Friday:
Hendersonville, N. C., Apr. IX, '05.
Dear Sirs:—You are doubtless in
formed that a charter has been pro
cured under the name of the Appala
chian Interurban Railroad Company
to build an electric road from Ashe

and from Hendersonville via Chimney
Rock to Gaffney. S. C., with such
branch roads as occasion may de
mand.
To promote this scheme and to or
ganize for effectual work a meeting
has been called to convene in the
opera house in Hendersonville on
\pril 21th, 1905, at m.
The committee on arrangements
have directed tiiat you he especially
invited to attend this meeting and to
bring with you all of your pilolic spiri
ted an enterprising neighbors and
friends.
Your good judgment will suggest
tf> you that this is the most imnortant
suggestion for the advancement of our
country that has heretofore been
made and that with the hearty co-oper
ation of our leading citizens the pro
ject can he easily put on foot and the
attained.

your suggestions.

The following from the San
nadino. Cal., Daily Sun of the
inst., will be of interest to many
ney people, as Mr. Shuford is

“Thomas R. Shuford, late of Gasto
nia, N. C., has purchased the Clark
studio in Third street, an 1 extends to

invitation to visit the gallery. Many
improvements have been made, and
with the additional equipment that
Mr. Shuford brings with him. this, the
Shuford Studio, is prepared to exe

stamp photos, etc. Mr. Shuford has
been in this line of business for
many years and everyone has the as
surance of getting onlry the best of
work."

years old and unmarried, living with

Dropped Dead at Limestone.
Leila McArthur, a colored woman
living at Limestone, died suddenly
Friday morning about 7 o’clock. She
was employed at Limestone College
as chambermaid, and was on her
way to her work, when just as she
reached the entrance to the college
I campus she suddenly sank down in
[the walkway and expired in a few
minutes. Dr. Nesbit was hurriedly
sent for, but the woman was dead
when he reached the scene.
Owing to certain reports which had
been spread abroad, it was deemed
necessary to hold an inquest over the
body. The result of the coroner’s in
vestigation was that the deceased
came to her death from natural
causes.

DEATH LURKS IN SICK KIDNEYS
The kidneys are the weak link in the
chain of life, and are daily carrying thou
sands of victims to untimely graves. Ninety
men and women in every hundred have kid
ney trouble and don’t know it, because it's
only when the trouble reaches an advanced
stage that it’s recognized as kidney disease.
We imagine we have dyspepsia, heart dis
ease, nervous prostration and a hundred
and one ills, but nine times out of t* *n the
real trouble is that the kidneys are so weak
and diseased that they are utterly unable to
carry the waste matters out of the body,
and theuricacidaccumulatcsin the system,
and slowly but surely paves the way for
Bright’s disease, diabetes, blood poisoning
and a horrible death in convulsions. A*k
your doctor if this is not good, solid, com
mon sense.
EXAMINE YOUR URINE
It’s the infallible test of kidney trouble.
If your morning urine, on standing still 24
hours, contains a sediment, is cloudy, or
shows floating particles, your kidneys are
seriously diseased and must be treated at
once.
There is only one remedy that can be
used with absolute safety And confidence,
Warner’s Safe Cure, put up for years at
Rochester, N. Y., by the Warner’s Safe Cure
Company, and sold at all drug stores, 50
cents and $1 a bottle.
Warner’s Safe Cure is used by leading ph y-
sicians, and in hospitals, as the one certain
cure for all diseases of kidney’s, liver, blad
der and blood—the remedy that cures when
all else fails, and leaves no bad after effects.
Get a bottle to-day; it will save you years
of suffering.
