Virulent impurities in the circulation produce angry, discharging ulcers, while milder, inert germs are usually manifested in the form of indolent sores or dry, scabby places. External treatment can never cure an internal trouble, therefore no one should depend upon salves, washes, lotions, alone to cure a chronic sore. It is necessary to remove the cause before the place can heal. S.S.S. heals Old Sores by going down into the circulation and removing the impurities and germs which are responsible for the place.

In addition to purifying the blood S.S.S. enriches this Vital fluid so that the irritated flesh around ah old sore is naturally and thoroughly stimulated, and a permanent cure results, because every morbid influence has been removed.

OF WATERSUPPLY Colonel Olds Writes Very Entertaining Narrative of -'Present Situation AS TO WALNUT CREEK That Stream Was fhosen Because it Provided at That Time the Best Source of Water Present Crisis May Bring About Change For Hetter Water Conditions Somewhat Improved. The writer spent most of this morning in making an inspection of Raleigh's water supply, and talked nearly four hours, in order fully to see the situation with his own eyes.

It is well to go back, say 2" years, and see why Walnut creek was chosen as the source of supply. When the question of waterworks was under consideration the; writer was one of several gentlemen who were asked to view the streams all ahoiit. We looked at Neuse river, six miles from the city, and at a stream called Jack's branch, which flows into it. above Millburnie; at Crabtree both at Edward's mill and Rogers' mill (now also at Walnut creek. The writer's own idea, which he sot out in print, at that time was that the water should be taken from "Walnut 1 creek at the point known as (Jrlmes' rnck hole.

Walnut creek being a short stream with a very free flow. traversing a clean Country, the creek being usually much clearer than Crabtree or the Neuse: and he con tended that the water should be pumped to a very large stone reser voir above the ground level at the point on the Grimes-property known as Spring Hill, from which there would have been a gravity flow into Raleigh. Walnut creek was chosen for the reasons stated, hut at first the water was taken from a point half a mile below the Rock though for a good many years it has been taken from the latter place The writer has known Crabtree crock to be so low that it could be jumped, while at that very moment Walnut creek was running full and free. A Bad Year. This is the greatest drougth year North Carolina has known for more than 150 years.

The mere fact that the rainfall at Raleigh is 14 inches below normal for the past six months tells that story. Last week -Walnut creek began to fail, for the first time in the memory of any person in Ral eigh. The writer has many a time walked along the entire bank of the stream all the way to the point Just this side of Cary, where it has its source. This morning he found that while at sunrise the water had been running a little over the which is a log 12 Inches square, at the Rock Hole, if had at 11:30 o'clock, when he was there, fallen 16 inches. A walk up the stream showed that only a trifling amount of water was coming in.

Campbell's branch, usually a free and clear runner, which traverses the great Grimes woods, was giving little water. The main flow now comes from Bush branch, and from the central stream of the creek, Bush branch entering on the north side. Last night's rain did not raise Walnut creek to any degree worth speaking of, but it was a case where every little bit helped. Today the water was not particularly muddy, but cloudy In the mass, and the flow of the stream was estimated by the writer to be at the Rock Hole about one-fifth of normal, Every drop of water was being taken into the intake pipe this morning, and the level at the Rock Hole was 16 inches below the top of the log referred to, A tiny seepage of water through the stone on one side of this place is everything which gets away, and this seepage is hardly more than a barrel in 24 hours. This will show how thoroughly the water company Is getting the water, and losing A walk down Walnut creek below the Rock Hole showed that until a couple of branches were met there was no running water in the bed of the stream, and the flow, even with the aid of these branches, at the bridge near the Caralelgh phosphate mill is very trifling.

The Pumping Station. The pumping station was next visited and everything observed with great deal care. There are two pumps, one with a capacity of gallons daily, the other 2.500,-000. The reservoir, which is of stone and cement, has a capacity of 2,500,000 gallons; the filtering plant has a capacity of 2,600,000 gallons daily, but this plant Is not now In use, the water, flowing into the reservoir, being sterilized by the use of chloride of lime to the amount of 25 pounds In 24 hours, this destroying all germs which might be in the water.

May 1 evelop Source.

When Walnut creek was chosen as the; source of supply there was a plan under discussion to sink about a dozen tube wells in a cluster in a meadow a little above the Caralelgh phosphate mill, and from these take the water; this being the source of supply at present in Memphis and many other places. Across the creek from the pumping station a well was driven a few years ago to a depth of 390 feet, hut no water was struck, and it is now proposed to 'shoot'' this with a charge of dynamite, say 75 pounds, and see if this will not loosen the stone and develop a water source. Similar Conditions Elsewhere. The supply for the Raleigh of 25 years ago will not, under drought conditions, serve for the Raleigh of today. Then only 500,000 gallons were called for, but now there is a demand thrice as great, and this will, owing to the number of new build ings, be largely increased during the next 12 months.

The water com pany, composed of local people; has worked under a handicap; has made no its stockholders say, and they have often had to pledge their personal credit. The company has limited capital and it lias realized its situation very keenly. The present crisis for such it is) is going to bring about, in some way, something which means a vast deal for this city ind its people. The present supply is insufficient and uncertain, for Walnut creek, heretofore thought to be as dependable as any stream In this part of North Carolina, has almost gone dry. must be remem bered that other cities and towns have had to face such situations, and this one must be met by the very finest talent, zeal, plenty of money.

It should be remembered further that springs are now dry which have always before flowed, that wells in many parts of the state and no end of streams have gone abso lutely dry, and even on the very shore of the sea both ordinay wells and driven wells which are at all shallow are waterless. This is the case at Beaufort, where the deep- driven wells, tubed from 400 to 600 feet, are spouting. So there are phenomenal conditions this year in a vast area of country, and Raleigh must simply prepare itself to face and overcome these conditions. This is the most vital question of the year. Raleigh will win out In the matter.

beyond question. There are water sources around here which are flow ing and some springs which the drought has not checked; for example, the writer drank out of the spring at Pittman's rock, a quarter of a mile above the water works in-take this morning, and that spring was fairly spouting the most delicious into the creek; water as cold as If it were right off the Ice. The writer thought it well to take the tramp through the woods and fields to see exactly the conditions and tell about them In a frank fashion. The reservoir was at 12 o'clock today exactly half full, the stream-flow was bubbling through the pipe in Its and a little gain was being made in the income as against the outgo, so to speak. It will be seen from the statement above how very near a water famine Raleigh was yesterday, for things looked mighty blue until, say 4:00 o'clock.

President, Wake County is unquestion-ably the greatest county in North Carolina ami on account of the big industrial development in and around Raleigh farms are going to be at a premium in thin county.

Raleigh is growing so fast that a sure market is to he offered for everything made on the farms of Wake.

If you want a farm in Wake County it, will pay you to talk to us at once, as we liave some bargains and we are in touch with the farmers and can get you any kind nf farm you want. SOMETHING BIG Between Raleigh and Cary we have to otter three nice farms. These farms are right in the line of development and nearly in sight of the city.

What more do you want? To of these farms are small, hut would probably lie just the thing you want. Farm No. 1 is a dandy. It contains 170 acres. One-half of it is in cultivation, nice five-room cottage in a white oak within a mile of a high school, one and a half miles of the deMit, This land is very tine fanning land ami every acre ran be put in cultivation, is now between and cords of wood on the land.

Sell the wood and pay for the farm. There are two good streams on the farm, two good springs, and 20 acres in pasture. It is undoubtedly the greatest thing being put on the market, in a farm in this section of the state. NEUSE RIVER FARM Here is something else that will look good ta a man who wants a real farm. A tine farm containing 116 acres, located in Neuse River township, one mile from the depot, with 65 acres in cultivation, balance in wood.

For water it has two two springs and two wells. The woodland Is covered with pine, oak, and hickory. The farm land is the best and is adapted to any kind of crop. There are three live-room cottages on the place and it is in a good state of cultivation. This place will surely interest any man who wants a farm in Wake county.

The price, too, is a matter that will interest you. If these farms do not suit you we have others just as nice and we can get anything you want if it is in land.

Filer Also Writes of the Circular and (Jives His Interpretation of It. (Special to The Times) Washington, July 1 1 Senator Simmons declined to give an interview in response to Mr. II. Eller's denial, owing to the fact that he had not seen Mr. Eller's statement.

In a speech in the senate, June 18, 1909, Mr. Simmons printed a circular, issued by Mr. MaxwelU' of the state committee. The circular was to ap pease the. lumbermen.

This is the pledge referred to by Mr. June IS. 1 909. Senator Simmons aid on the floor of the senate that he would read from a rireular sent out by the democratic central committee of North Carolina, lii part the circular read: "They the lumber people) may rest assured that the democrats would hot put lumber on the free list, it being a southern product, unless there should be coupled with it the placing the free list of all articles; entering into competition with the trust-controlled articles, as their platform demands and which would tend to largely cheapen the expenses of the manufucture of lumber." Mr. Simmons says that 000 of the circulars were scattered over the state by Chairman Eller's committee.

If any paper criticised the circular he said he never heard of it. Mr. Flier's Statement. Winston-Salem, C. July 12 Chairman A.

H. Eller, of the state democratic executive committee, has issued a statement in regard to certain statements made by Senator Simmons Monday in his speech on his amendment to the reciprocity Dill. Chairman Eller's statement is as fol lows: "There appeared in a Raleigh pa per of the 11th a report of Sen ator Simmons' speech, in which his defense of his attitude on lumber is based on what he terms "Chairman Eller's Pledge," He is reported as 'After the adoption of the Den ver platform the people of North Carolina rebelled against that decla ration of the democratic party to such an extent as to make it manifest to the chairman of the democratic executive committee of that state, Mr. Eller), that we were in danger of losing the control of the state as the result of that "This is the first time that Senator Simmons, Mr. Maxwell or any other person ever suggested such danger to me, and it.

is the first time that such a thought ever entered my mind. I deny that this article referred to which appeared in a supplement on October 29, 1 908, was intended by me to qualify the declaration of the party in its national platform. "This document has been referred to by Senator Simmons once or twice before, but I had deemed It unnecessary to refer to this subject in North Carolina as I have had no reason to believe this the chairman ot the state democratic executive committee is thought to be untrue to the platform of his party, or tainted with the republican doctrine of protection. Since, however, a partial extract of this article has been injected into national politics because of the prominence of our distinguished senator, and the wide reach of the forum trom which he speaks, it seems proper that the tacts should be better understood. "During the campaign of 1908 1 was assisted in the campaign by Mr.

A. J. Maxwell, as manager of the literary bureau, etc. He was a newspaper man of experience but was at that time engaged in the lumber business He was, as I understand him, in perfect sympathy and accord with the national democratic platform. "Senator Simmons was several times at democratic headquartens.

Together these gentlemen discussed in my presence the lumber question, stating the strongest arguments against protection on lumber and in support of the democratic position, but at no time was it suggested that the party was in danger or that the national democratic platform should be departed from. I did not have the time, nor did I deem it necessary to read all of the many excellent articles written by Mr. Maxwell.
