Editor of Gainesville News.
My dear sir:—The familiar pro
verb, “It is an ill wind that blows
BObody any good” was verified in
the memorable cyclone that visited
Gainesville on June 1st, of the
present year.
The year of 1902 waB one of
great trial to me and my family.
Having been practically forced to
resign my work for no other rea
eon than for loyalty to truth, and
Hading my exchequer depleted,
and a very sick wife to be cared
for, God only knows what I would
have done, hod not my friends
rallied to our help. From all
over the land there came encour
aging and sympathetic letters in
closing various amounts of money
as takens of love and esteem.
Among these letters there came
one from my old and dear friend,
the late Mr. J. L. Johnson of La
Grange, Ga., of which the follow
ing is a copy:
LaGrange, Ga., July 24, 1902.
Rev. R- O. Smith,
Dear Bro. Bob : Inclosed find
H (currency). Remember you as
the playmate of mv two boys,
Taylor and Clarence, in La
Grange a number of years ago
during the pastorate of your fa
ther, and I recall those days
with a great deal of pleasure.
I am now an old man, 68 years,
&4*d have not been able to do any
work of consequense in four years.
I have, in the meantime,been very
cloae to death’s door, and an now
awaiting my end with proper pat
ience, and trnst in the Savior.
May God bless you and yours,
Affectionately,
J. L. Johnson.
This letter was addressed to me
to 51 North Forsyth street, Atlan
ta, Ga., and forwarded by my
friend, Mr. Griner, to Gainesville,
but was not received by me
until yesterday, August 26tb. It
was found on top of the Blue
Ridge, near Rice’s cabin, over
forty miles from Gaineville, on
A %he same evening of the storm. I
,%m indebted to Mr. Ben Palmour
for finding this letter with its en
closure, and to the Hon. Jos. W.
5, Underwood for sending the
jame so tha,t it has, after thirteen
months, fallen into my hands.
I leave to the reader to solve
the mystery as to its preservation
and as to why it did not reach me
iooner, and as to where it had
oeen hidden away for months un
til the storm was the means of
bringing it to light, months alter
it3 author had passed from
to Heaven.
Truly we may say, “Kind words
can never die,’’ and may with as
surance ’’cast our bread upon the
waters,’’knowing full well we shall
‘‘gather it after many days.” Bro.
Johnson is dead, but does he not
speak in this soulful letter and
unselfish gift?

3,000 BALES RECOVERED,
4,000 Bales Still At Bottom
Pacolet River Carried
Down By Flood.
Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 28—
There are at present in the neigh*
borhood of 4,000 bales ot cotton
at the bottom of the Pacolet river
and together with this and a large
amount of doth and other piop-
erty there are some $200,000 worth
iu the bed of the stream. The
wrecking company that has had
the recovering of the flood goods
in charge is of the opinion that
the greater amount of the cotton
will be ultimately reclaimed.
The work oi searching out and
reclaiming the goods that were
washed from the Pacolet mills by
the flood of June 6 will stop for
the present within the next few
weeks. Next summer howeverf
the work will be resumed and it is
believed that the small fortune
lying in the bed of the stream will
then be almost wholly reclaimed.
Expert cotton men say that for
the staple to stay in the water for
six or eight months will not dam
age it materially and all except a
small part of the outside rims of
the bales will be as good as ever.
This opinion is somewhat at
variance with the general impres
sion, but it is said to be borne out
by experience. There is a report
of a bale of cotton remaining in
the water for several years without
being damaged but very little. It
is said that as long as the staple is
shielded from the air, water does
not injure it.
During the winter the wrecking
compauy will prepare for fishing
the cotton out of the river, and
early next summer they will begin
to work in a systematic manner.
There were 7,000 bales of cotton
washed away from the Pacolet
mills in the June flood. Of these
3,000 have been recovered. It is
said that the other 4,000 are scat
tered along the bed of the stream
as far as 20 miles below the mills.
Young Plants
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that’s the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
<4arvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
ioes not feed
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
Strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Scott’s Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

The Dream Of Horsemen Realized.
A mile trotted in two minutes!
The two-minute trotter, the
dream of horsemen for the past
quarter of a century, has at last
been realized.
Lou Dillon, less than chan three
months ago practically unknown
as a trotter, last week at Readville,
Mass., won the crown as queen of
the turf by trotting a mile in two
minutes. For ninety-seven years
it has been the dream of horsemen
to see a 2-minute trotter, but the
nearest to approach this mark was
Cresceus, whose 2.02^ mark has
stood as the world’s rocord for
two years.
This time for the first quarter
was 30£ seconds; second quarter,
30-J secouds; third quarter, 30^
seconds; fourth and last quarter,
29 seconds.

Almost Unnerved Me
—Heart Pains.
Short of Breath,
Faint and Languid.
Dr.Miles’Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
“It has been five years since I was cured of
h^art trouble by your Heart Cure and Nerv
ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in
that organ today. For several years I had
been suffering with my heart. Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with fluttering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after trying many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, I was induced to give your
remedies a trial. I was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
snowed signs of returning.”—Rkv. Geo. W.
Kiracope, Chincoteague,va.
There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
vour heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, the
5 re at heart and blood tonic, without a day’s
elay.
