Sleeplessness Is altin to insanity. Many a woman re alizes this as she lies awake hoar by hour, (peopling the darkness . with phantoms, start ing at the creak ing of the bed or the rustle of the bedclothes. Such symptoms iu general point to disease of the delicate womanly organs, and a constant drain of the vital and nervous forces. This condition cannot be over come by sleeping powders. The. diseased condi tion must be cured before th consequences of disease are re moved. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which cause nerv ousness and sleeplessness. It is the best of tonics and invigorants. nourishing the nerves, encouraging the appetite and in ducing refreshing sleep. $50O Howard for Women Who Cannot ho Curest Proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully war ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they cannot cure.

Let no man become alarmed or discouraged. There is a feeling among a coterie of small minds -that the thing to do now is to belittle our good State and discredit the progress cnat nas been made, liut like the frogs in the bottom of t he pond their noise is greater than their number. We are roundly abused because we glorify our State. This is the way with the freaks. They are as con scientious as men of their mould can be. They imagine they are suffering persecution and that thj.v are the victims of their own heroic convic tions; but nobody is hinderiug them and they are enjoying all the liberty they could ask of rushing into print. To be sure they are being roasted alive, but they have all the oppor tunity they could desire of defending themselves. They, no doubt, fall back on the assurance that they are the only men brave enough to tell the truth, when in fact they are not telling the truth at all; but they think they are, and so it is all the same to them. The freak is a curious animal. He is so very self-confident. He smiles at Satan's rage and faces a frowning world.. He bares his bosom to the storm and invites the darts of the malicious and ignorant. He is a daisy all around. However, the staid and sober sentiment of North Caro lina remains unchanged and urn touched, by the freaks. Our people majT not be the best, but they are as good as the world holds and they know it. Thej' are going serenely on their way, unmindful of the tempest in the teapot, and when they need advice they will turn to some other source than the freaks to get it. Mr. John Bassett Spencer, or whatever his name is, who holds down a little professorship at Trinity College, 1m agines that he is the faculty of the Lniversitv of Chicago, the storm- centre of freakdom, and that his voice will be heard through all the lan l. So it will, but not in the way he expected when he wrote his opinion about race equality. The parent who will allow a son to remain for moment under the influence of such a man who holds this gentleman's sen timents deserves exactly what he will get. Let. the freaks have their day. It does them lots of good and will hard ly harm anybody else whose mind is sound. IS BEAUTY ONLY SKIN DEEP?

IJA;i.K I'lIAIt.-rl ACV. Crumpacker and Crum. Charlotte News. The Crumpacker Resolution has again been introduced in Congress, the aim of which is to punish the Southern States for the elimination of the ignorant negro vote by reduc ing Southern representation in Con gress and in the electoral college. At the same timethe .president sent in the nomination, for the third time, of of the negro, Dr. Crum, to be collec tor of the port at Charleston. Thus at the opening hours of what we should hope will be the last Republi can Congress for a long time to come, the negro issuers fairly and squarely drawn and thrust upon the stage of national politics. Let it be remembered then 111 days to come that it was the Republican Congress and a Republican President and the Republican State platforms like that of Ohio that injected the nigger issue." The Democracy need not be afraid to meet it, though thei poor negroes may well pray to be delivered from their fool friends. The South can stand that as a political issue. ie cool down after an elec tion, and then we understand the negro any way and make all due allowances for bad leadership and child-like ignorance. But let this issue be carried to its passionate conclu sion in the great cities of the North and Northwest, where the negro is already unwelcome, where the labor ing classes look upon him in much tne same light that thev do the Chi naman as an interloper, stealing the white man s bread, and the negro will have to emigrate. We need more of them in our cotton fields and kitch ens, and the emigration will be a prof itable one to the oouth, as well as to the Democracy in robbing the doubt ful States of the most regular Repub lican voters, the issue can be dis cussed later. This is just to say that the Republicans started it and to re peat that Ay cock will be the man to tell the folks up North how the mat ter stands.

He la big enough to satisfj some of the material craving of even the big game hunter. He eludes the still hunt er as subtly as the shiest d-jer. He gives the cross country rider, coursing hiui with hound and horse, a run that often is equal to fox hunting. The wing shot finds him equal to the occa sion. He is the finest game bird In the world. Not even the royal auerhahn, sole living representative of the an cient big game world of Europe when the huge aurochs crashed through the forests, can compare with him. Hunting the wild bird with hound anil horse is sport for the very select few. for not only is it necessary to find the birds first, but they must be found in open country where they cannot es cape too readily by flying into cover. Therefore, coursing is limited to open country where the turkey, not having been hunted too fervently, is Incau tious enough to feed in farm lands and open, flat country. The dogs are sent in to cut off the retreat to the woods, and then the mounted men break out of their hiding places and pound down on them. The wild turkey flies and runs alter nately, lie lopes like an ostrich, though not so fast, and whenever he thus takes to running the dogs and horses gain on him. When they get unpleasantly close, up booms the big bird and flies like a feathered projectile straight ahead un til be has reached a safe distance, when he pitches again and resumes running. It is cieau sport and exciting enough to hurry any man's blood. But the true hunting of the wild turkey, with shotgun or rifle, that tests a man's strength and cunning aud woodcraft and patience to the full is still hunt ing. It may be enjoyed still in some parts of Pennsylvania, but the best territory for It is in the southern states. Vir- HE LOPES LIKE AN OSTBICH. ginia offers it in the country on both sides of the Blue Ridge, although it is not necessary to go so far to reach haunts of the fine game. Culpeper county, where President Roosevelt hunted, is only a short distance from the national capital and well east of the mountains. When a wild turkey is tracked on snow he will lead the shooter a chase of miles. The turkey can hear as keenly as he can see. A cracking twig underfoot will startle him more qnick- ly even than it will a deer. Often the man will not be able to get a shot, al - thougli he may follow a flock all day long. Often he will get his shot only after he has actually walked the birds down tired them out by close, patient, grim pursuit. The man "who can do that is an athlete. West Virginia contains thousands of acres of hunting country that is in many respects as wild as it was be fore the white meu landed in America. Western North Carolina has turkeys, particularly between the Blue Ridge and the Great Smoky mountains, and thence on across into Tennessee the turkey hunter can still find surpris ingly large tracts of hunting country Where not only turkeys, but deer and bear, hide in the thickets.

The South and the Negro. Birmingham Times. It is painfully apparent that the press throughout the country is con tinually awaiting in breathless ex pectancy an opportunity to laui'ch forth in sensationally headed edito rials upon the race problem. It is even more noticeable that the petty politician and the sensational stump speaker grasp with avidity the slight est pretext to belch forth their worth less opinions upon a question which invites the careful consideration and deepest thoughts of our brainiest etatesmen. To the Southerner who is thoroughly cognizant of all the characteristics of the negro race, and who understands his nature, disposi tion and idiosyncrasies, the sugges tions and remedies by which this mo mentous problem is to be solved, as offered by the Northern politicians and biased editors who have never been thrown in contact with a dozen negroes at the same time, is too ridic ulously absurd to be seriously con sidered. There are men of the South who in moments of excitement put forth the impossible suggestion of deporting the negro to the Philip pine Islands or to some other dis tant shore, when there is about as much likelihood of this being done as there is of sending him to Mars or some other terrestrial planet. There is, in cur humble opinion, but one solution of this condition, and that is to accept the situation as it is, and use our brains to intelli gently adjust a condition placed upon us by the Creator. The hand of des tiny has at all times been clearly shown in connection with the exist ence of the African in America. He was brought here unwillingly, by force, in chains and irons, and as such we gladly accepted him. What he has been since that period we made him, and what he may accomplisn in the future we are directly responsible for. The negro is as much a part of the South as are its cotton helds, and he is more closely identified with its history than any product which maj be found within its boundaries. The true Southerner knows the negro, appreciates his worth, and is at all times ready to extend to wor thy members of that race the right hand of assistance and is the first to encourage his efforts and to praise him for the successful termination of 6ome undertaking. The negroes those worthy of the respect of man kind, know this, and we lay down the gauntlet and defy the most pre judiced of our Northern critics to point to a. single instance where a worthy negro has ever Peen reiusea assistance in any part of the bouth On the other hand, the Southern man, worthy of that title, under standing the emotional temperament of the negro and his inclination to follow an intelligent leader, looks with a feeling of repulsion, disgust and abhorrence upon the contempti ble efforts of unscrupulous politicians to play upon the susceptible feeling and trusting confidence of the negro to his own political and industrial damnation.

Raleigh Times. Some days ago we heard a patri otic citizen complaining that the au thorities (we use this word for the lack of more definite information had sent to Pennsylvania after oak trees to put in the place of the old trees which had been removed from the capitol grounds. We thought he had good cause for complaint, and think so now. The thing that makes the whole thing laughable is, that some specialist in dendrology has discovered that the physical condi- j tion of the soil in the capitol grounds , has so changed that it will not pro- duce now a natural North Carolina oak ! We would like to see an elaborat ion of this idea, for we are at a loss to guess whether it is to be accounted for from scientific causes or whether it is to be referred to social or politi cal influences. At any rate the peo pie will be interested to know just what has taken place to change the nature of this particular soil at the capital of the State. Just think to what we are coming! We thought we were first at Bethel, but they say we were not. We thought our record at Gettysburg was safe, and that has lightened the burdens and softened the disappointments of many an old soldier; out now the race is to be run over again to see who really did reach the goal first. When the ragged and foot-sore North Carolinian turned hi back upon his great leader and start ed to his home of povertv and deso lation, the thing that gave him joy and hope was, that he was the last to give up the struggle; but lo and be hold 1 altera third of a centurv has passed, others have risen up to claim this distinguished honor. And now to cap the climax, our soil refuses to grow our own native oaks, and we are forced to import a foreign species. Next thing we know our title, which we have heretofore regarded as safe, to the "Tar Pitch and Turpentine," will be ruthlessly claimed by another, and the world-wide fame of "North Carolina corn" may yet pass away and not leave so much as the aroma of its former excellence. Why should Mr. B. R. Lacy be ex pected to preserve the traditions of Mosely, Macon, "Wiley and Vance by wearing genuine North Carolina jeans while the rest of us are asked to rest under the shade of Yankee oaks? o And a TtirKey By MARY WINTHROP Copyright, 1902. by Mary Winthrop. J TTASPER PEYTON was a stranger In a strange land. The fact was most unpleasantly brought home ti h:ai at every opportunity by the good people of Oreville. He was a sweet temiered fellow, and it disturbed him mightily when his ef forts at sociability were Ignored. "How can 1 Help it that there was trouble at the works and that my predecessor was fired?" he exclaimed ruefully to Maria. "I didn't know it when I ac cepted the position of superintendent." Maria sniffed. She had her opinion of people who failed in appreciation of her young master. Had she not come all these weary hundred iuile6 for the sake of his sunny smile?. But Maria did not know that most of Jasper's irritation was caused by the house nest door. No, not the house. It was a pretty little frame dwelling, em bowered in vines and. banked iu scarlet sage. It was the girl. She had a scorn ful mouth, an aggravatingly tilted nose and a pair of dark eyes. He found out that her mouth was scornful when he met her outside the gate on the second day after his ar- HE UAD SCAliCELY FINISHED WHEN TUB AVALANCHE TELL. rival: She was that his neighbor so undoubtedly pretty Iy "good morning" had unusual fervor. And the girl there was a contemptu ous curl on her iip, and her eyes flash ed before she lowered her long lashes. She passed on without a word. Jasper stared after ber in astonish ment and then cursed the custom that some small towns have of aping city conventionalities. Later he found out his mistake. The girl's name was Carl ton, aud her father was the man whose dismissal had made room for Jasper. There was a L'uhIi on the young man's cheek as he realized that the girl held him accountable for the change of fam ily fortunes. By dint of carefully veiled inquiry he found out much more. Mr. Carl ton, it seemed, had obtained an in ferior position in a town fifty miles farther south. But as he hoped for a better opening In the near future he had delayed moving the family goods and chattels. There was much not often included iu the latter terms rosebu.-dsen coaxed to splendid size and bloom through untoward frosts and protracted drought, turtledoves that whirred and cooed and sunned them selves on the fiat rcof of the ban to, and the tine nock of turkeys. Marion Carlton refused to part with one of these. Had she not triumphantly reared The entire hatching when the spring winds, p'p. tats and other ene mies of ttu keykind had dashed the hopes of neighboring raisers? If any one was to least on fat turkeys, lying peacefully on snowy pillows of mashed potatoes with garlands of parsley round their necks, it should be- the Carlton family. And as the Carlton family had but two members, Marion's will was generally law. The frost bad turned the scarlet sage to black, aud the vines no longer screened the house next door. But every falling leaf seemed only to add to the rampart that the girl's pride had raised. She was evidently a favorite In the town, for in the evening the young folks trooped to her door, aud through the partition walla came bursts of laughter and snatches of mu sic. That they all followed Marion's example in leaving him strictly alone was partly Jasper's fault. After the first few rebuff's his free and easy manner changed to one of aloofness. Maria sighed as she noted the change. "And it's the hard hearts you're all after bavin'." she said as she 6at in Ler kitchen and listened to the laughter from the house nest door. Just thin Jasper dashed into the room, crying joyfully: "Hurrah. Maria! We're in luck: Here's Aunt Jane writ ing that she wants to be sure that we have a line Thanksgiving turkey, and so she is sending us a live one. I can jujtt fancy how good he will taste with some of your prime dressing." Maria tieanicd. She was proud of her cooking. Jasper went to the freight office the oexl evening and escorted the turkej home In person. When it was tethered to a stak m the back yard, Maria could not hut declare that IS was the fiuefet turkey she bad ever seen, Infi nitely finer than any belonging to the. house next door. Iiut. alas, there was no chance for comparison. Others besides Marion bad evidently watched the growth of her turkeysand took an interest, a proprie tary Interest, in them. The next morn ing her turkey house was empty. Marlon cried. Here It was only two days to Thanksgiving dinner and her father's long expected visit, and there was a dearth of turkeys In Oreville. She was at an upper window gazing disconsolately toward the empty poul try house when her glance happened to stray to the yard of her neighbor. She saw the turkey" tethered to the post. Instantly she thought she recog nized It as her favorite gobbler. It was a case of mistaken identity, but there la much of a sameness in turkeys. Ah. so he wna the thief U Rut where wer-the others? Doubtless he had made way with them. Here her tears flowed again. It was a melancholy sat isfaction to think how perfectly she had diagnosed the strauger's character at that chance meeting so niauy weeks before, but it was not a material com fort. Meanwhile there was equal distress in the house of Peyton. Maria's sister was ill. and she must come at once. She had departed with many tears and lamentations. Jasper after seeing her off had re turned home in a melancholy frame of mind. No Thanksgiving dinner for him now. lie must eat at the hotel. And the turkey? Just then a most brilliant Idea came to him. He had heard of Miss Carl ton's loss. Why not give her his tur key? But a very astonished face met him next door. Was his conscience nlready troubling him? Marion's cheeks were scarlet with anger as the unconscious young man presented the turkey In his most polite manner. He had scarcely finished when the avalanche fell. His turkey! For how long had it been his turkey? Since last night. It was adding insult to Injury to return as a gift what he had previ ously stolen. Jasper's bewilderment had changed to anger. "You accuse me me?" be exclaimed incredulously. "But it is only on a par with your previous actions. Permit me, madam, to inform you that the turkey arrived by express last night. You can get the express agent to verify my words. 1 can only hope that you will enjoy my turkey as much as if it had been one cf your own." Aud before the girl could speak he had bowed ironical ly aud v:;s gone. It was the next evening that there came a timid tap at Jasper's door. It was the girl from the next house. Her long lashes hid the dark eyes and the scornful month trembled. Only the nose still tilted aggravatingly. "I have come," she said in a very small voice. tu aj that I sin sorry. The express agent toiu un- j ..... j it. Thev have caught the thieves who stole my turkeys." Jasper was silent. It was undoubt edlv cruel of him. bui he had suffered much. Th" trii-l went ou bravely, though there was a choke in her voice: "And and-I've come to ask you whether you won't come over and iave some of your tmkev with us tomorrow. I'at her will be home, and I know he will be glad to meet you. Won't you come?" Jasper saw tears shining behind the long lashes. His heart beat strangely as lie took her outstretched hand. "1 sli iil hi" gb'd to come." he said quietly. Hut it to;k Maria a long time to get lis; d to tin in w state of affairs. RYDALES STOMACH TABLETS.

Chicago Trilmne. It chanced one day that Col. Nim rod, the huntsman, was out with hid double-barreled nhot gun and noth ing but bird shot for ammunition. While he was ecannitifr the bushes for his feathered quarry his ears were assailed by fierce, angry screams. Looking up, lie beheld a tremendous eagle swooping toward him.
