"I mot a gentleman on tho street to-,
ilay whom I have not seen for eome
time, but the moment my eyes rested
unon him I could sec that he was'
doomed "
It was a member of the 'faculty of a
Now York medical college who made
the statement.
"I saw." he continued, "that peculiar
color ot countenance, that lack of .ex?
pression In the eyes nnd pultlncss under
the lids which indicate the presence of
the most horrible of all known diseases, j
The corners, of the man's mouth were
somewhat drawn down ami the lines
j of tho face were distinctly marked. 1
felt like warning him, but I was not on
RUfliclentlV Intimate terms lo warrant
my doing it, so I -merely stated that
ho was looking nr. though he was not
in the best of condition,
"'Oh, 1 am all right!' he exclaimed.
'In fact,' I think 1 am enjoying very good
health *lt Is true.' he continued, 'that
T do not always sleep well, my appetite
Is rather tickle, and I feel unaccountably
tired at times, but I have no pain what?
ever, und I think T am getting along
all right.'
"I left him with a warning not to be
too certain about his condition, but 1
tell you that unless thnt man tn^es
prompt action of the right kind, he Is
a candidate for the grave, and thai, too.
within n limited period."
"And yet he does not know It!"
"Tho thing which makes Blight's dis?
ease of the kidneys, which that man
undoubtedly has. -the m-ost dangerous
of all diseases Ii that it has no symptoms
of its own. 1 menu that pain Is seldom
felt In the kidneys themselves, nnd yet
I deliberately slate as a physicinn that
nearly one-half, of the deaths in Amer?
ica a-re caused by Blight's disease of
the kidneys. Tills may sound like a
rash statement, 'but I am prepared to
fully verify It. Hundreds of burial
certificates have been made out by
family physicians' for 'heart disease.'
'rupnplexy,1 'paralysis,' 'spinal com?
plaint.' 'rheumatism,' 'pneumonia,' and
oilier complaints when in reality it
was Bright's disease or the kidneys."
"Few physio:ins -and rower pecple

toms' nnd Hastens Kneif upon the con?
stitution before the victim is -.ware of
its presence, it Is nearly ns hereditary
an consumption, quite a? common nnd
fully as fatal. Entire families, in?
heriting it from 'their*ancestors, ihnve
died, and yet none of the number knew
or realized the mysterious power whl h
was ri moving them."
"Xot only this, but until recent years
no remedy was known which could pre?
vent or cure (his mor<t fearful of d!f
o;i.-v.-\ and even to-day. with nil the
advancement of science, 'there <s but
I one known discovery by which tt can
! lie prevented, controlled when it Is con?
tracted, or finally cured. That rem?
edy !.-- Warner's Safe Cure, and It ha*,
to my certain knowledge, saved more
people from untimely deaths, and i?
I keeping more people in perfect health
to-day than any other discovery in the
world, b: was concerning this remedy
thai the Life Dr. Dlo Lewis said:
"While my own lire hn? been devoted

cines, T gratefully recognize tri-? pre
ci,value of Warner'.-' Snfo Cure, und
If 1 found myself the victim of kidney
trouble. 1 should Instantly u?<; it."
When physicians -of the highest
ntandlng so un'hesltatlngly endorse a
modern discovery, which will certainly
cure the m?sl terrible of all diseases,
tloe.o it not stand to reason that those
of US who realize Uv.it we are slowly
drifting Into a state of decline, that our
kldneyw, liver or urinary organs are
not what they should be, should avail
ourselves of the benefits of so great a
scientific discovery, which are placed
so easily within our reach ?

j of T. T. Hubbird as special commis?
sioner of the Court of La w and Chan?

larities and claims i liability against
the bond company anil the trustee for
amounts aggregating $10,000, the com?
missioner reporting that everything had
been done propc.ly and for "the best in?

a new railroad proposed
To Run from Norfolk lo Powell's Point,
North Carolina,
Powell's Point, N. C, Jan. 1, 1SD7.
Editor of The Virginian:
The prospect of a railroad to Powell's
Point, Curriluok county. N. C. is
brighter titan ever before. We hhvo re?
cently Jia'd the representatives of time
wealthy tat I r on d companies to visit this
section prospecting for a road. If
there is any section in this country
where It w ould pay capitalists to ma Iv ?
an Investment In a railroad It la lo re.
The Intrinsic value of the soil, from
Moyock, N. C? to Powell's I'o'.nt, N. ?'.,
far surpasses that of any of the gn...
Western and Northwestern States. We
don't mean for the purpose of growing
wheat and grain crops generally anil
the groat hey crops, bin for growing
truck?vegetables, fruits nnd such gene?
ral produce as the Northern markOtfl
want and must have.
Pastern North Carolina's soil Is equiv?
alent in value to California's gold mines
and more Important?lt. bus not been
exhausted: When properly ciiMlvaicd
It is the greatest and best fruit-growing
climate In this entire land. Some of us
have gathered apples in our little or?
chards this .season that excelled any?
thing taken to the fairs, and pears,
peaches, etc., all grow to perfection,
Currituck Sound Is known from Flor?
ida to Maine for lt<j great multitude of
wild fowl and fishes, for which we are
d est It ute of convenient, transportation.
We have a kind of a make-out trans?
portation, but 'tlait does not meei tho
growing demands of the times and of
tin- business of the country. Wo must
? have a railroad.
i There are also twelve or fifteen club?
houses of wealthy Northern men who,
I in all probability, pay out $00,000 or $B0,
ooo annually for traveling expenses and
mail conveyances, which would be quit ?
an Item In the hands of the railroad
men; olfiy about twenty Unlt.cd States
Life-saving stations on the bench, from

The writer knows of a neighbor who
]? -fit home four days ago on the steamer
for Klli-.nb.th city. Had thirty minute*
business in town and has not returned
yet. Thtfle are not figures only, but
facts. It will only require ti branch
road of about forty miles to reach Pow?
ell's Point, and as soon as It was pn:
here, so that the public, could know
what to depend on, it -would rctturn
more clean, clear profit than any road
to Its number of miles in North Caro?
lina, or Seaboard Virginia, and it will
cost less money to put it hero.
There are millions after millions
of shad, herring and rock, to say mull?
ing of other fishes, that are taken out
of the Albemarle, Croatan and Pamllca
Sounds, ami fully three-fourths of them
would come to Powsli'a Point for ship?
ping If we had a railroad and a con?
nection of steamers from Newborn, x-'.
('.. to Powell's Point would complcie
tlie chain, and, perheps, I.000 or more
! sail boats, of various sixes, would
I make it a business to bring the various
products of both land ami water for
shipment. We don't count on th - oys?
ter trade much for shipping by rail,
but tin.- clams, terrapins and numerous
other articles that we .-hall not, men?
tion bete. The fishing business alone
would be able to run a train during
tho winte r und spring. Wo cannot pos?
sibly name at present one-half 6f the
enterprises thait would work together to
support a railroad.
Now a few Win.Is to ihe merchants
and business nun of Norfolk: More
than $lo0.000 per annum goes to North?
ern cities thai passes Norfolk in various
ways, that does hot find Its way into
Hut'hands of tho business men of Nor?
folk. If we had a railroad on this line
It would turn the current of so many
streams that tho result in the business
relation between ,lho people of Kastern
North Carolina and Norfolk would
simply bo wonderful; We take It that
every good enterprising citizen of Nor?
folk will aid in Ibis work. Hero |3
Kitty Hawk; can be made a watering
plaeo equal to Virginia Beach, and
Powell's Point, near thai dopot, can be
an Atlantic City for those who are a j
little more timid and don't wish quite
so strong a sea breeze. Added i.~> all
of this is a healthy climate. J. B. E. |
