The following is taken from .h Charlotte Observer: "'The Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta division is doing more business just now than any railroad line in~ th's part of the South,' isid a local railroad man to an Obs-erver reperter yeste'. day. 'Tha' line is making requisitions upon all the other divisions for ex rs freight cars and engines, and we sent it two extra engines to-day.' The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta divi sion is said to be literally filled witb freight trains, both the local and freight business being the heaviest of which there is any record. The trans D ortation of lumber from point: in South Carolina to the Northern m'ar kets accounts in part for this unusua: activity." Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman, Mileaburg~ Pa., say s, "As a speedy cure for coughs, colds, croup and sore throat One Minute Congh Cure is unequaled. It is pleasant for children to take. I heartly recommend it to mothers." It is the only harmless remedy that pro. duces immediate results. It cures bronchitis, pneumonia, grippe and throat and lung disases. It will pre vent consumption. McMaater Co. CURTIS' SCRAF BOOK. Alt Sorts of Odds and Ends of Good Read ing, New York March 2.-There is a man here-J. P. Thomaq, Jr.,--who says he hass eaten nothing- for six years his uncooked vegetables. and argues that nature intended all of us to de so. They are more wholesome, more healthfal, more nourishing and cou tr ~mte more to the- strength and vigor of the human system than cooked vegetables or animal food. All energy Mr. Thomas as-erts, c.>mes from tue sun. Plants absorb the sunmshiine and old mite energy in their fibers, like coal, timber and minerals. Men and animals deaive their energy from pia.,t food Lecan'e they cannot eat trees or coal C'ooking causes chemical de composition, de prives vegetables of a part of L~e energy which t' ey have nherited from the sun, and hence they are less beneficial to mankind than when eaten raw. Mr. Thomas, his wife and his child, 1 t ear old, subset almost exb'usively on ratw wheat and other cereal', raw :..tm 06os, cabbge, turnips and a-t ether varie ties of vegetables ant fruits. As a are not susceptible to cold, they wear their earments without underclothirg, overcoats or wraps the year round. 9Mr. Thomas claims to have the strength of four men, and can lift I,150 pounds. Win. E. Curtis in the New York Record. 40 A&TL6fig i OP 3 LZ XA. HIS SYMPATHY WITH THE BOEsI. NCW8 and Couriar. The more or less important fact Is repoited from Auburn, Indiana, that ex-President Harrison "has been in terviewed by many public men of In Idiana in regard to the Boer-British war" and "minces no words in ex pressing his spmapathy for the Boers," although he "persistently refuses to be publicly quoted lest his- words embar rass the McKinley Administration." Why ths public men of Indiana are Sfociing to sweet Auburn to get the views of a geitleman who so consis tently and persistently refumes to be publicly "quoted," is not explained, and why, having obtained his rQ. minced words in strict confidence, - public men of his State should pub ticly quote him at once, for the embar rassment of the MRlnley Admiuir tration, is left to speculation; but he is publicly quoted as "expressing his sI mpathy for the Boers," out and out, awl bebides: "Gen. Harrison contends there is no eco -ion for gratitude on the part of ibis Governmest toward the British. He thinks the British were guilty of iiihum3n practices during the Revola tionary war, and that their attack on. this nation in 1812 had no justification Irom any international standpoint, while their conduct toward the Union during the civil war was algo repre hensible. Glen. Harrison thinks, here is Republic fighting for its homes and its own government, a cause as just as the Americans bad in their great war of the eighteenth century." The most interesting and significant thing about all - these deliveranees, of crurse, is that they come from a gen cral who got his title by several years of service in Sherman's army, and accompanied it in its "barbarous march," and took part with it in the burning of the capital cities of The. three States of Missisippi, Georgia and South Carolina, and in all the "inhu man practices"incidental to its avowed iission of making a "hell" of tie war in which it was employed against "a Republic for its homes and its own guvernment." As the cause for which the Boors are fighting is the arme as that against winch Gen. Harrison fought so long, in his youth, it is somewhat strange that he should sympathize with them r- heartily now; or, perhaps, we should say that it would be strange but for his own added explanation that, as the British -were guilty of the "reprehensible conduct" of sympathiz ing with a Republic fighling for its homes and own government, against "the Union," in 1861-65, he and other' '.,f his record are to be excused for sym pathizing now with a Republic fighting, for its homes anid own government' aainst the British. The changed symnpatbies and senti bints of the General are easil *t i f e -intb.1fgzgins to have e ex ~ ed bhy he sh persistently refused to al ' minced words of sympathy with the South African patriots to be publicly anqoted, "lest they embarrass the Ro. ioley Administration.?' Are we really to understand thai Gen. Harrison sympathizes in his heart t with the Filipinos, as .well as with the Biers, becauxe he thinks, again, that "were is a Republic hghting for its &womea and its own government, a canse as just as the Americans had in -ttheir great war of the "eighteenth ,c -tury," but does not cars to say so, publiciy, for fear of embarrassing the I Aminist ration o.f his party, which is fiiting agaiset that Republic and its ji-t cause? Or are we to understand at the warm sympathy of the great man for republics fighting for their a mnes and self-government is confined a~to rbic flgh:ing against the British Sdthrforeign Governments, and in' -o case extends to republics, fight 'e agaid~st a Reptxblican Admidstra I .o of the Government of the Unite'd S ies? T'he many public men of [ndiana whbo have interviewed the Ex-Prai 'ant ir regard to the Boer-Brui-h w.r, if we may suggest, should go brek and interview him again andt get e .eatement from him on these . ints. They appeir to have been overlooked, for some reason, in the matter already pblished. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I wvas in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes snaken, tongue coated, pain contin us Pv in back and sides, no appette gAo slly growing weaker day ny day. Thre-e physicians had given me up. F-i tunately, a friend advised trying IOectric Bit ters,' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a de:ided improvement. I continued hoir use for three weeks, and am now a mill msn. I know they saved my .life and robbed toe grave of another vitim." No one should fail to try thean. Only 50 cents per bottle at McMaster Co.'s drug store. 6 "I used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in my family with wonderful resrlts It given immediate relief, is pleasant to take arnd la truly the dyspeptic's best friend," says E.
