North Carolina's Only Chewing Gum Fac
tory.
buckingham Rocket


DR.. J. X. McIlhenny, of the Rock
ingham Drug Company, received the
machinery f,r his chewing gum facto-
ry last week. An expert machinist
frcm Baltimore came with the ma
chinery and has since been engaged
in putting it in position. This work
is now about completed, and the fac
tory will be in operation in few
days.
The outfit is the best of its kind
made. 1t consists of machine for
kneading the gum. From the knead
er the gum goes through rollers which
press it int, large, smooth sheets an
eigth of an inch thick. The sheet Is then
passed between copper rollers provided
with knives that cut it into strips
about three inches wide. The strips
then pass between another set of cop
per rollers that cut it into little blocks
Just the size for "chaw," and it il
then ready for packing-The machin
cry is rud by four.horse power en-
CINE connected with six horse pow
er boiler.
There is no question about the fact
that DIR. McIlhenny's chewing gum
is more popular here at home than
any gum that comes to this market,
and we believe it will be so wherever
introduced All that is needed to
prove its superiority is trial, and, as
the men connected with it have the
money to push it, we have no doubt
of its success.

TOM SETTLES SPEECH.

he Attempts to Justify the Fern1o1ous
Features Of the Force Bill.
The Wilkesboro Chronicle gives the
following report of the speech which
Solicitor Settle made to the conven-
ton which renominated him week be-
fore lastl
Mr.. Settle now came in and was
introduced by DIR. York. Mr.. Settle
accepted the nomination in a carefully
prepared speech of about an hours
length. lie begged the people to re.
member that this is not political of
fee and that they should not in the
heat of political excitement forget this
fact. True he is Republican bat he
wants Democratic votes, he said. He
then spoke of what he conceived to be
the leading issue III the coming cam
paign-the Lodge Election bill, ga
bill containing many pernicious pro-
visiops." He tried to make the peo-
pie believe he did not endorse the bill,
still before he got through he attempted
to justify it, even its "pernicious fea-
tures." He referred to the recent
changes in the election law of N. &.
and said these changes were intended
to detraud the people of their rights.
He blamed the Democrats with the
defeat of the Blair bill in the Senate,
and as he did this smile stole over
the faces of many, even some of most
prominent Republicans, and as he saw
he couldn't cram such stuff down
even his own party he hlushed per-
ceptibly and jumped hurridly to the
silver bill, and said that while the
Democrats wanted absolute free coin
age of silver the Republicans could
not allow this but iid pass a bill
which gives virtually free coinage, as
the bill provides that there shall be
coined every month 100000 ounces
of silver.
Qn this statement Mr.. Settle makes
a very misleading mistake. The bill
doer not provide for any coinage at
all, but simply provides for the pur
chasing of the above amount of silver
bullion, which may be stored away
and not coined at all. 1t is benefit
to the silver miner, but not particle
to the people. Even the present law
compelling the monthly coinage of a
certain amount of silver is repealed
by the Republican silver bill, and
coinage Of silver may be entirely
stopped.-ED.h

Both Ankles Crushed.

In railroad smash up in 1876, I
had both ankles badly crushed. Soon
after Blood Poison set in, and both
legs, from my knees down, were COW
cred with liberated sores, that refused
all efforts to heal. [ was virtually
helpless for ten years, being bedridden
most of the time. During all the
time / was attended by the best ply
sicians in this section of the State,
and must have taken a cart load Of
medicine, without receiving any relief
or being benefited in any way. In
1887 I was induced to try Swift's

prove from the first dose, and contin-
ued to get better, until today am as
sound and we'll as any man in the
universe. This was two years ago,
since which have had no return of
sores or any pain in the legs. From
my experience 1 conscientiously be-

ty-fve members was chosen. The
present central executive committee
was continued until the next State

ual happiness and prosperity, but also
TO the maintenance of civil and rei-
gious liberty,

stated, was incorporated, demands the
abolition of the National banks, the
prevention of dealings in futures, the

recall an incident that happened
the first year | commenced to make a
political speech. We were down on
the banks, now what is Dare county.
l was engaged in the effort of making
Democratic speech. There was op-
posed to me in the discussion on that
day a man who has since attained
som ,what to distinction in North Car
olina politics, in late years as a Re-
publican. He had made his speech
and was replying to him, and !
think was getting the better of him,
as I think have had the privilege of
doing some of these Republicans in
years since. A friend of his sitting
near commenced asking question:, try
ing to interrupt me, when a poor
Christian -hard-conmon sense minister
of the gospel, belonging to the Primi-
tive Baptist Church, who was sitting
near by, had stood the interruptions
as long as he had felt comfortable un-
der them pulled off his coat and laid
it on the bench and said: clay there

Democratic party do to- day is, that the
Alliance friends, our lawyers, our doc
tors and our merchants, l do not care
under what avocation of life or what
their profession may be, come into the
Democratic Convention, pull off their
coats and say lay there Alliance, law
yers, doctors, merchants until we have
whipped this Radical party and made
them behave.

Mr.. John r. Morris, of Baltin.re.

in the United States Senate during
the discussion of the glass schedule:
"You know that Senator Aldrich

been reached. Vance ask cd Aldrich
why common window glass, the glass

dutiable at one hundred and fifteen

teen per cent. Aldrich turned his eyes
from Vance, smiled the smile of one

rection of Quays desk. Vance re-
ceiving no answer resumed his seat.

called Pia,t t, preside. In few mo-

his eyes toward the gallery--he sci

"The Senator from North Carolina" !"
said Platt, as he slightly touched the
desk with his gavel and inclined his
head deferentially toward the majestic
figure of the great Southern states
man.
"Mr. President" cried Vance, in a
shrill, tremulous key Of which l did
not know his voice capable, II want it
to 90 abroad to all the American
people that have asked the Senator
from Rhode Islano why the glass of
the poor man is taxed 115 per cent

American people to know that l re-

to bring IA deep hush over the Senate
chamber. The Republicans could not
say anything without admitting too
much. They had to refrain from al
mitting the truth that they we're pay
