discover that the position shows any

DIR. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
DEAR SIR-Your medicines, Golden
Medical Discovery, DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, have proved of the greatest
thought thatI could possibly live long.
1 had complication of diseases
scrofula, manifesting itself in erup-
tions and great blotches on my head
that made such sores that I could not
have my hair combed without causing
me much suffering; also causing swOl-
len glands. tonsiIs enlarged, enlarged
or "thick neck, and large and numer-
Gus boils. 1 also suffered from a ter
rible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact
was SO diseased that life was burden
to me. I had tried many doctors with
no benefit. [ finally procured one
half dozen bottles of your Golden
Medical Discovery and one dozen
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At inst [ was badly
discouraged, but after taking four
bottles of the Discovery L began to
improve, and when I had taken the re-
naming [ was aOeU. In addition to
the use of Discovery [ applied soluble
Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck, as
you advise in pamphlet wrapping, and
it entirely disappeared. Your Dis
covery is certainly the most wonder
full blood medicine ever invented. l
thank God and you, from ne depths
of my heart, for the great good it has
done me.
Very gratefully,
Mrs. L. CHAFFEE.
Most medicines which are advertis-
cd as blood purifiers and liver medi-
cines contain either mercury, in some
form, or potassium and iodine vari-
ously combined. All of these agents
have strong tendency to break down
the blood corpuscles, and dehilitate
and otherwise permanently lnjure the
human system, and should therefore
be discarded. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand,
being composed of the fluid extracts of
native plants, barks and roots, will in
no case produce injury, its effects
being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used to en-
Joy quite a reputation as a blood pu-
rifier, is a remedy of thirty years ago,
and may we'll give place as it is doing,
to the more positive and valuable
vegetable alternatives which later
medical investigation and discovery
has brought to light. In Scrofula or

Discovery has shown its great RENE

COMMERCIAL EPITOME-Trade

COMMERCIAL EPITOME-Trad
continues in the same dull and unsat-
isfactory condition as for some time
past, business being confined almost
entirely to supplying Immediate and
pressing wants, there being no dispos-
ition whatever manifested to enter
into operations of a speculative char
acter. The Spring season is rapidly
drawing to close, and whatever may
be the explanation, there is no doubt
that it has disappointed the hopes and
expectations of the mercantile and
trading classes. The volume of trade
has been comparatively light, and for
the most part unrenumerative, the
season having been marked by gen
eral shrlnkage In values.
The naval store business of the
week has been comparatively fair in
proportion to other weeks. The ex-

Ocean freights have been as active
this week as last, but the supply of

The chief features Of the market and
the changes of prices of most of the
leading products and manufacture for
the week were as follows:
COTTON-There has been less
doing in cotton in this market the past
week than the previous week, but
still some trading was done. The de-
mand and volume of transactions have
not at any time been sufficient to
change the character of the market
from one of duilness, or of marked
quietuess. There was some few bales
taken for home consum e1tion, which
marks Il new era in oar cotton market.
The establishment of cotton factory
in our city will hereafter create q de-
mand for consumption which must
naturally be of benefit to prices at
home. Quotations at the close are
entirely nominal.

CRUDE TURPENTINE - There
is no change in the general condition
of the market since our last, and
prices are as formerly quoted. There
has been q better demand this week
owing to the very light receipts and
more enquiry has seemed to exist
among distillers for lots of size, and
rates were freely paid in the face of
the dullness of other branches of the
trade. At the close to-day the market

JArES BELK. THE CENTENNA
RIAN.

Interesting ReCOlIectiOns Anthem
ITCHY of the MeckIenburg DecIa-
ration.
Among the honored guests at the
| ate Celebration at Charlotte was Mr..
James Belk, of Union county, in this
| State, the more than Centennarian.
Mr.. Belk is man If fine intelligence,
we'll preserved in mind and body.
Believing that MIR. Belk's recollec-
tiohs of the events of the last century
would be interesting aJoURNA1 special
reporter interviewed him, and we
give, as concisely as we can, the an
swers to his interrogatories:
By family record in a Bible printed
in Edinburgh in 1920. it is stated
that he was born February 4th, 1865.
Five years ago, during the Spring
term of Union Superior Court, he was
witness III Court to contradict the
plaintiff in a statement which the
plaintiff swore to, to the effect that
he, James Belk, as a magistrate had
given a judgment at some prior time
III favor of the plaintiff, in the case
then on trial, to-wit; Calvin Lany VS..
Thomas Richardson, upon which
judgment the plaintiff based his
aSIloh. LILO ICCO1u VI Ills age WAS
exhibited in court. He was born and
county, which was formerly part of
Mecklenburg. His recollection is
good. He lost his leg from the effects
of a wound inflicted by accident with
u pitch-fork. He named one of his
sons, who is living, for julius Alexan-
der, who was younger than himself by
q hIn lor 81
remembers the death of his father
who was wounded in South Carolina,
during tine Revolutionary war, near
the North Carolina line. and knows
that his mother found his father in
the woods ( y the roadside. She took
him to their residence, and afterward
carried him to the residence of James
Belk's grand father, for better care
and attention, where he died. He
remembers distinctly the meeting at
Mecklenburg Court House that made
declaration of Independence; heard his
parents talk of it after has father re-
turned from the Court House; his
mo her cried because she tn ought it
would bring trouble. He was fright
ened and this makes him remember it
though only ten years old. AS he
grew up he often heard the Goth of
May Declaration spoken of and re-
members that the Resolves of the 31st
of May were spoken of as being sepa-
rate and distinct. He heard Julius
Alexander speak of the two meetings,
the Doth and 3lst, when Alexander
and he were young men.
He says that his recollection of these
events is more vivid than that of events
of thirty years ago.
He remem bers the conduct of the
British soldiers, how, Oh one occasion,
they killed the COW of a poor nephew
of his father and wrapped him up in
the wet hide, and his mother kneeling
down to beg for his life, she thinking
they were going to kill him.

there was not much activity apparent

The first meeting of the new Maine Central
directors was held at the Falmouth yesterday
afternoon. All of the board were present ex-
cept Mr. Jones. After consultation, it was
agreed to make Charles f. Hatch of Boston
General Superintendent, Levi L. Lincoln As

in place Of Mr.. Brown. Edwin Noyes of Wa
terville was chosen Solicitor and Adviser.
President Coburnj and Messrs. Alden Woods
and Cummings were chosen as Finance Com
mittee. No further changes were made in the
officers of the road, and from what we can
learn, such action is not contemplated. We
have authority for saying that the Eastern
portion of the board expressed determination
to faithfully adhere to the contract made by the
old board with the Eastern; and some of those
present expressed the opinion that the plan OF
pooling" the receipts for through traffic OF the
Boston and Maine and Eastern would be fully
adopted so that there would be no cause for
competing tor the business of the Maine Cen
