r V Jpr/t- Women as Weil as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. TMIMUT THE TARHEEL STATE. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dit* i and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order / -(TKilttr ZJHI— or diseased. Kidney trouble hat become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bom 1 afflicted with weak kid- * neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child inches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the firs* step should be towards the treatment ol these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis- „ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Roughly spenking, there are three classes of immigrants who are eoming to America r (1* Those who come be cause the wny is made easy and who do not intend to work. They hope to live off their friends and relations or marry. They are the drifters and oon- tribnte to the immorality among for eign speaking peoples. (2) Those who come on promises of high wages and easy work. They mean to work, but at something they like, and they mean to be free. They are independent and demand good wages in domestic work from the start. They frequently leave for the shop. (3) Those who have been poor beasts of burden and are driven to this haven by persecution, taxation, wretched ness, starvation, op pression and the great desire to better their condition. They are willing to learn, will do anything that comes to band, and in their generation, barring marriage, rarely leave domestic work or get beyond the factory or sweat shop door.—Frances A. Kellor in At- ■ lantic. A Happy Days. The vines witere roses were are bare,' The drowsy cattle seem to dream Of days that were serene and fair.

Alderman Eugene Williams, one of the proprietors of the Newbern Iron Works, at Newbern, met with an ac cident Monday which is feared will result fatal. He was operating a crane which held a block of iron weighing 500 pounds, which slipped from the grasp of the crane and hit him on the head, fracturing his skull and causing concussion of the brain. He was removed to the Stewart Sani- toriiim. where it is reported his con dition is extremely critical. A negro named Mack Taylor was taken to Greensboro Monday morning under warrant for horse theft. The horse, which is a fine animal valued at $150 or $200, was stolen at Mar tinsville. Va.. Sunday morning at 3 o’clock. A man named Southers had wired to Grensboro a description of the horse and there seems to be no mistake. Taylor was arrested at Dan- iel’Bf ferry, near the Rockingham line, Sunday afternoon. He had traveled 35 miles with the horse. He said a boy told him to lead the horse along till he caught up. To all accounts the boy has not caught un yet. The Low Gap mail carrier had an experience Monday morning that he will not soon forget. He lost bis mail, which is bad, but not as serious as it would have been if he had lost his life in the high water. The Lovill creek at Mt Airy gets out of its banks sometimes and when it does it is a dangerous place to drive into with a buggy. The earner attempted to cross the stream near the depot that morning and lost the mail and buggy—the man and horse succeeding in making their escape. It is quite likely the mail will be found but most of it will be damaged, if not entirely ruined. Many passengers aboard fast train No. 35 between Salisbury and Ashe ville had a narrow escape from injury if not death Monday morning about 2 o’clock at Greenlee, when extra freight No. G23 plunged into the rear of the passenger, resulting in the in jury of Engineer H. H- Sullivan and L. Caldwell, a porter. The rear coach of the passenger train was smashed. It so happened that this was a “dead” coach—a coach not occupied by pas sengers—and by reason of this fact is due to escape of the train’s passen gers. Engineer Sullivan had two brok en ribs while the porter received an injury to the hand. It could not be learned just where responsibility for the accident lay. To the list of fatalities resulting from baseball is to be added another, the victim this time being a resiuent of Walnut Cove. While witnessing a game of ball at his home at Walnut Cove Saturday afternoon, C. T. Wil lis, a white man of middle age. was hit on the head with a baseball just above the right ear and received a wound from which he later died. The lick at once rendered him unconscious. He was taken by Dr. A. G. Jones, to the hospital at Greenaboro, but the blow was such a serious one that he died Mionday morning at 3 o’clock. A post-mortem examination showed that his skull was not broken, but the doc tors discovered that the blow caused such a jar to his head as to cause hemorrhages of the brain, and his death is attributed to this. A blind tiger was caught in his lair at Newbern Monday with the goods on him. It was one of the most im portant arrests that have yet occur red of the blind tiger arrangements. T. G. Kearney was arrested on the act of making a sale of whiskey to Officer P. P. Rowe, who went to the place in his uniform. Officers Lupton and Howard made the arrest. An in vestigation showed that there was enough Hqour in the place in cases and barrels to stock a large saloon. The liquor was taken to the police station. The officers experienced no difficulty in making the arrest. Kear ny is employed by Nathan Tinsdale. who is already under two or more bonds on a similar offense. Kearny waived examination and was held un der $500 bond for trial In Superior Court. News from Camden county was re ceived in Elizabeth City Tuesday of the finding Sunday in the section of that country known as “Thoroughrare Island’’ of a young white woman who on account of starvation and expos ure is now in a most pitiable plight, having so lost her mind that she is unable to either talk or make her identity known.

Armed with guns and axes, the men searched the entire territory, which Is about six. acres in size, but nothing was seen of the “thing’’ which had been making the peculiar noise.

The team was on the road from Union when the mule took sick and died, causing a long delay before again returning here and get ting another mule to hitch to the wagon and bring it home. We sympa thize with Mr. Brown in bis loss. Last Thursday while the molasses mill men were away from their work, the large pile of cane pulp around the mill caught fire, threatning M. W. Brown’s store and also his bam, but through the heroic efforts of R. R. Brown. Ml M. Mize and John Gore, the flames were soon smothered down. Mr. Walter L.

Misses Ella Brown and Carrie Go forth visited relatives at Landrum last Friday and Saturday. Miss Gillie Burgess, of pacolet, has been visiting relatives here the past week. Here is the latest joke: The mule which died last Thursday which be longed to M- W. Brown, died with colic.

Our section wag visited by a heavy rain storm yesterday afternoon, which we hope will give us some more beau tiful weather. After careful study, and a sincere decision, we feel it best for us to let this be our last letter. It is certainly a pleasure to us to have some of our friends come to us and ask us to con tinue with The Ledger, but they can not realize the vexation and trouble we have had while reporting for the paper. It certainly makes us sad at the thought of quitting, for The Led ger has been most kind and patient at our failure at newspaper corres pondence, and we feel we owe Mr. DeCamp this will soon some to pass able to amply repay. We wish to thank the editor for the space he has given up week after week for our let ters, and we know he can now (after thin letter) fill up the space with something more interesting. We hope soon to see The Ledger come out a daily and with such an editor as Mr. DeCamp this will soon come to pass —mark it if you will. Again, we wish to thank The Ledger’s other corres pondents for their kindly mention of our letters, and we have greatly ap preciated their loyal comment. With best wishes to all The Ledger family and kindest regards to all its other correspondents, and again a bouquet for Mr. DeCamp. C. Th# Press In the Arctic Region. There exist sit present several jour nals that make their appearance only once a year. They are published with in the confines of the north polar circle. The Eskimo Bulletin, for example, is edited near Cape Prince of Wales, on Bering strait. Here, in a village inhabited by Eski mos, the English missionaries have es tablished a school, and as only one steamer lands at this place and that only once a year, the news that it brings is consigned to a sheet of paper printed with the hectograph. Its size is 8 by 12 Inches. The paper is very thick, and only one surface is used. This Eskimo Bulletin in a subhead claims to be the “only yearly paper.” This, however, Is an emu', for there Is an annual sheet published In Godthaab, Greenland, where a small printing of fice was established In 1802, whence news sheets and lithographic prints have been issued. The journal in ques tion Is entitled “Atnagagdllntlt, nalln- glnannlk tusaruminasassumlk” — that is, “Something for reading; accounts of all sorts oi entertaining subjects.” The language Is that of Greenland, a dia lect of the Eskimo.

Now they are working on apples and plums. One man said he counted nine yellow jackets on a single plum.
