Lieutenant Governor McSweeney. representing the State, delivered an address of welcome to the veterans last week in Charleston, which placed him among tbe foremost oratora on that occasion. While the governor did not mention it in bis speech, it is cot improper for us to state that opon the ground where he delivered bis speech he often walked to and from his work wheo a boy. Goveroor McSweeney waa not born with a silver spoon Au his mooth, and from his early boyhood he eotered the battle of life as a bread winner. His education was received is the school of experience where so many cf ocr greatest men received theirs. Early io life he was forced to earn bis support, and many a cold, bleak morning, across the lot where now a&aods Charleston's grand auditorium, aod where M. B. McSweeney, io the name of the State, eltquectly extended a welcome to the survivors of the "Lost Cause," did he, barefooted and hungry, basteo to his labor to earo a pittance and ao experience which bas stood by him to this day and which makes bim appreciate the straggles of s people. McSweeocy's life and experience ought to be written and studied by the youth of the State ; to it they will learo that a mao can make himself, be eau be she architect of bis owo fortune, sod it is oot necessary to be labeled ' with a long Hoe of distinguished ancestry, to rise. Io tho life of MeSweeoey they will see that by dose attention, energy aod integrity the old ! saw that "you oao't keep a working ! aao dows" it a truism With such a j f nao as goveroor of thc State the peo pie would have to executive who started at the bottom roood of the ladder of life, and, by bis owo effort. , wents to the top. His experience places bia io touch with the people's wants aod needs, and by being one of them, their interests are bia interests, aod he wcold be the people's goveroor.-Mac& ng Times.

Governor Voorhees, of New Jer eey, in a defense of trusts and bis state's kindness to them, says; "In ibo modern evolution of business the individual is of but little conse quence, acd associated capital acting on a large scale now does what was formerly left to. men in their single capacity " That is true but, instead of being au argnment in favor of trusts, it is a chief count in the in dictment against them. This exalta tion of Mammon at the expense of man, made in the likeness of God, will bring untold evils in its train No nation is safe which sets np a golden calf to worship The wor ship brings upon its devotees evils innumerable. An aristocracy of brains and worth may be endurable, but a plutocracy is sore to breed an archy and communism. A few more years of such rapid crushing of in dividuals and exaltation of corporate capital as the last decade in this country has witnessed will develop troubles such ss this country has never yet witnessed "I'll fares the land to hastening ills a- prey, When wealth accomnlates and men decay.71 Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets selten, relax and expand muscles involved, Decreasing Labor Pains and Shortening La bor.

A RAILROAD TRUCE The announcement that the Southern railway bad secured possession of the Sanford Mt. Airy division of he Atlantic and Yadkin railroad, or, as it ( was formerly known, the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley, was a surprise io Baltimore financial circles. This prop erty was bought at foreclosure eale last December by a syndicate composed cf Messrs. Harry Walters, B. F. Newcomer and Michael Jenkins It was then generally accepted that the whole property would beoome a part of the Atlantic Coast Line and the devel opment that tue western portion of the road was in ihe hands of the Southern railway was unexpected. This is, however, now regarded a6 indicating an understanding between the Southern railway and the Atlantio Coast Line to keep out cf each ethers territory. With the Sanford Mt. Airy divisioo the Atlantic Coast Linc would have entered western North CaroHoa and have been in a position to compete w4th the Southern Ic was tbs im pression among some financiers yes terday that the delivery of this divisioo to the Southern would probably be followed by the surrender by the South ern to the Atlantic Coast Line of the South CaroHoa and Georgia railway, which wa3 recently bought by the Southern. In securing this property the Southern obtained an entrance ioto Charleston, S. C., and other territory of the Coast Line. Previous to the deal with the Southern the Atlantic and" Yank in Railroad Company deeded to the Wilmington and the Weldon Railroad Company, which is one of the Atlantio Coast Line corporations, that portion of the system east of Sanford, North Carolina After this the stock of tba Atlantio and Yadkin Railroad Company was sold to the Southern Railway Company, thus placing in possession of the latter the control of the remainder of the property. The Wilmington and Wel don Railroad Company pays for the portion it acquired by an issue of $1,800,000 4 per cent, fifty-year gold bonds, which will be a first mortgage on the property acquired and known as the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company Yadkin . Division bonds. Tbase bonds are turned over to the syn dicate whioh made the purchase of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Railroad and reorganized it as the Atlantic and Yad kin. Io payment for the whoie prop erty the syndicate gave 3,100,000 and there waa active competition at the sale, both from the Southern railway and the Seaboard Air Line.-Baltimore Soo, May 16 - ? - -?- mm You cannot accomplish any work or business uolrs* yon feel well.
