... Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

TIunt, Division Passenger Agent, Charleston, S. C. The South Not Indictable. (Buffalo Evening News.) Dr. Albert Bushness Hart, historian, man of letters and professor of his tory in Harvard University, cheer fully undertakes a task that stagger ed the mighty intellect of Edmund Burke. He indicts a whole people. In the Independent Dr. Hart con demns the South for sluggishness, scantiness of resources even to grind ing poverty, uncertainty of labor, race antagonism, ignorance, lack of educa tional facilities, exclusiveness of the 5,000 old families and race mixture. Such an assault as that of Dr. Hart, directed against a vast population, is much discussed and with no little warmth in many instances. In truth it is hardly worth that attemtion. When the United States reached the ! point of being able to laugh at the 1 slurs of foreign writers on the Union it marked the beginning of the period of real national independence. And in this case, though many replies come rp from the South with something of the order of the bottomless pit about them, the general feeling is one of contempt for such a caricature of that section as Dr. Hart has drawn. For nothing apneals more strongly to American pride of country and passion of achievement than the pro gress made by the South in forty years, or since the close of the Civil war. It is without parallel in history, fnd in itself is the annihilating answ er to the indictment of all such writ ers as Dr. Hart. Whenever disparag- ng statements of the kind he has printed are given any notice at all it is the opinion of The News that the briefest recital of what the South has accomplished in the last four decades in material and intellectual directions is at once the best and the most in structive way to overcome assertions essentieally false, however well inten- tioned. Henry W. Grady, in the most elo quent speech that ever fell from American lips, described the condi tion of the South in the first hour of defeat in terms as profoundly truthful as they were passionately sympathe tic. In brief, the South then lay un der a curse of poverty and demorali zation deeper than civilized men ever knew before, and all the more intense from contrast with the easy abun dance of generations preceding the furnace blast of war. Make compari- se.i any way you please between the South of 18G5 and the South of 1905. and Dr. Hart, is answered in a fashion to refute him utterly. The test of a people’s quality is never found merely in the position it holds at a particular moment. Its starting point, i's di rection of movement and the distance it has made are even of more weight than that in forming a sound judg ment of the question of general achievement. Take a few details as illustrative of the entire argument for the genu ine advancement of the South since the close of the war. In thirty years, to take the latest figures available, the population of that section has in creased by 12,000,000. The increase in number of farms is 951,000, the acreage of improved lands is doubled, the assessed valuation stands at twice the figures of the earlier epoch, and the accumulation of welath is risen to $250,000,000 annually. The cotton crop alone is worth the sum of $525,000,000 a year. The assessed valuation exceeds six billions In manufactures the South has out stripped the world in recent years in. the progress it has made, especially in the manufacture of cotton. The price of iron in world markets is es tablished by the cost of Southern pro duction, because it, is cheapest and most easily handled in that region. South Carolina already rivals Mas sachusetts in cotton mill output, and must soon surpass her completely. Georgia and Alabama are hot on the industrial track of Pennsylvania, and i in Texas there is limit neither to the! pace at which she is rushing forward i industrially and commercially nor to I the resource of her enormous domain. But even more remarkable than her | material progress is the advance of the South in the department of edu cation since her business men got on | their feet and became able to turn j their attention to schooling the rising generation. Many of the ablest North ern educators who have visited all parts of the South testify to the ex cellence of the school system of every State for both white and black chil-1 dren. Prof. Sneath. of Yale, is a typical example of a mind trained toj Northen methods and results, and ye warmly enthusiastic over the admira-1 hie work he finds going on in the' South, and especially in the higher! institutions of learning. It is possible in a brief newspaper) articles to touch on this subject of Southern development only in the most general terms. The News has given it careful attention for many years and feels qualified by study at first hand to oppose the conclusions of Prof. Hart, squarely and without | compromise. The South is stronger I than ever in every way. She ‘ * deal- j ing with tremendous problems In a > thoroughly rational way, and needs ! hut to be understood in the rest of ; the United States to be appreciated : as a magnificent element of the glori ous Union that is the great mother of us all. More Double Track. (Charlotte Observer, April 16, 1905.) Writing in The Raleigh Post of yes terday, Mr. J. C. Caddell forsees the time when trains running between Greensboro and Charlotte will dash through a continuous city, and says that the next ninety-nine-year lease of the North Carolina Railroad by the Southern will call for four tracks in stead of one. So. indeed, it will: and this reminds us of the agreeable state ment in the Washington correspon dence to The Post of yesterday that a force of hands will tomorrow begin grading on the double track between Greensboro and High Point. It is a continuing wonder how the Southern Railway contrives to handle so many trains, passenger and freight, on a single track, between Greensboro and Charlotte, with so few accidents, and a continuing cause of congratulation to the alert and clear-headed train dis patchers. The Southern is a great system, the most effective developer of the South, and it has not under taken its double-tracking policy too early. Think of the volume of its traffic fifty even twenty-five, years from now. WHEN YOU THINK Of A BLOOD PURIFIEP THINK OF SSS The Most popular ant Widely-Known Blood Purliler GUARANTEED PURELY VEGETABLE SWIFT’S SPECIFIC, the great BLOOD FiimFIER. gp&J f»*' ntf' . • ff "A “***&*' 4 m. •vr- Make Yourself Wanted. In an address reported in the Amer ican papers, Secretary Shaw tells an incident that puts in half a dozen words the secret of business success. A young clerk in a store, he said, asked for an increase of salary. The proprietor gave it to him. A little later the clerk asked for another rise. At first the owner was indignant; then after thinking the matter over, he sent for the clerk. “Young man,” he said, “what you need is not money, hut more useful ness.” Then he pointed out count less ways in which he might have done something for the company and missed his opportunity—times when he had been careless or indifferent or ignorant. “Every time.” he concluded “that a customer comes in and asks for you personally it, counts. Your business is to make yourself wanted.” If it is the secret of success incss. is it not also the secret cess in every place in life? home, in the church, in the everywhere, the one whose work is thorough and cheerful and enthusias tic is the one who is making the most of his life. “Make yourself wanted” and you will soon know the joy of solid success. This is the season that tests the quality of your blood, and if it is not good, then evidences of it will begin to show as the weather grows warmer. Carbuncles and boils, pimples and blotches, and numerous itching and burning skin eruptions will make their appearance, and are sure in dications of bad blood. If spring-time finds you with im pure, sickly blood, then you are in poor condition to with stand the strain upon the system which always comes at this time of the year. A failure to look after your physical wel fare now, by purifying the blood and toning up the gen eral b Hem, may result in a complete breaking down of health later on, and you will find yourself weak and run down, with no appetite, and a prey to indigestion and ner vousness. It is poor blood that makes weak bodies, for it is this vital fluid that must supply vigor and strength to our systems, and upon 1 purity rests our chances for health. Any impurity, humor or poison in the blood acts it riously upon the system and affects the general health. It is to the morbid, unheal matter in the blood that chronic sores and ulcers are due. The pustular and sc skin eruptions so common during spring and summer, show the blood to be in a riot, feverish condition, as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor acrid poison in the blood. A large per cent, of human ailments have their origin x polluted, diseased blood, and can only be reached by a remedy that goes into the circulafl and uproots and expels the poison and restores the blood to a healthy, natural conditionf you have any symptoms of had blood, and are thinking of a blood puri fier, then think of S.

I can heartily recommend it as a tonic and blood purifier. I was troubled with headaches, indigestion and liver trouble, which all disappeared under the use of a few bottles of your great blood remedy, S. S. S. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly helped. I can eat anything 1 want now without fear of indigestion, and my blood has been thoroughly cleansed of impurities and made rich and strong again.

(New York World.) Starting to climb downward from the topmost branches of a tall tree with one cat in a hag. Peter Segg, a humane man, landed on the ground with five cats in the hag—or rather one cat and four kittens. “Born in transit,” a trolley car con ductor suggested after looking at the kittens. The mother cat was chased up the tree three or four days ago by dogs and remained there even after the dogs had gone. Crying all night the residents of Bronxdale tried to induce the cat to come dpwn. Peter Segg saw the predicament of the cat and volunteered to rescue it. He climbed up the tree and the cat kept going higher. Segg finally reached it and plumped it into the! bag. When the bag was presented to; “Mandy” Ferris, who owns the cat, she was much surprised to find that her property has increased four times.

A man from a Kansas town walked up to the cashier’s desk at one of the large hotels in Kansas City recently and, tossing in a check for $100 said: “Cash that, please.” “You’ll have to he indentifled, sir,” replied the young woman, pleasantly. “Why, I am a director in the bank on which that check’s drawn, and I’m quite well known in politices over my way,” he said. “Did you say you are a politician?” asked the cashier. “Oh, a sort of a one,” replied the man, smiling. “That,” came from the cashier “makes positive indentifleation all the more necessary.” The man did not ask why. hut hunted up a friend and was identified.
