Old Age Creeping on Shows Itself in Lack
Lusire Eyes and Trembling Hands
Many Who Are Old in Years Are Vigorous
and HeaIlhy-HOw Such Condition May
Be EncOmpassed BY All.

How many elderly men and women we see
who plainly show they are "going down the
hill" The trembling baud, the uncertain step,
the lack of brightness In the eye, the shrunken
features, all indicate that life Is not At high tide
that tho strength and vital forces are not what
they once were. and, Ia fact. hat they are going
down the hill This, VI course, IL 10 bs ex-
pected for when one reaches later years physi-
cal troubles are cure to como; but how many
elderly psople we see are healthy, happy, and
comparatively vigorous, They always seem
cheerful, bright. contented. Why should not all
be equally fOrtunate7 10 certainly Is possible.
Every elderly man aud woman needs 10 gently
assist nature, all the while needs 10 take some
pure stimulant regularly. Every doctor IN the
land admits this, and It's common sense must Do
manifest 20 all. II should not be understood,
however, that any ordinary stmulant would be
recommended. IL must be something pure
powerful, health-gving, and strength-lmpsrt-
lug. such stimulant can be found only IN
Duffy's Pure Malt Nhiskey. IL Is the only me
dicnal whisxey i'll the market. Its wonderful
popularity IA due entirely TO its power and what
II has accomplished. Amy elderly man or woman
through it, use may certainly preserve the
health. and may reasonably expect to pro-
long the lie. DO not be induced, however, 20
try any inferior article or any which the druggist
or grocer may seek to put in its place. There Is
nothing which can accomplish the same object.

THE EVE OF BATTLE.
CHAIRMAN SIMMONS CONFIDENT OF
THE RESULT IN CAROLINA.
Weavcrite Wilson and Federal Supervisor
shafrer Plotting--Fslse Fusion Tickets
Being Circulated - Suspended.

Correspondence OF tn Richmond Dispatch.l
RALEIGH, n. c.. November AT Demo-
cratic State headquarters to-day Chairman
Simmons and his assistants were as busy
as bees. Many kilograms were sent out
and many were received. Cheering news
came in all day. Chairman Simmons IS
confident there will be 1900 Democratic
majority IN the State.
The Third-party chairman, Ohio Wilson,
was seen IN conference with A. W. Shafer,
Federal chief supervisor of elections, who
was arrested here Saturday afternoon. As
result in all probability Of this confer
ence. Wilson sent out q special edition of
the Third.party organ. the Hdyseed'r. IN
which no denied, first, that Shafer had
ordered the arrest of State-Registrar Reid 4.
and. second, that the arrest OF Sbatfer had
been made. The organ, with unmatched
cheek. told the Third-party people that
the statements as TO both these facts were
Democratic lies. Wilson and the other
Third party leaders have now entirely
thrown OF the mask they have tried to
wear and appear frankly as the allies OK
the Republicans.
LOOK OCT FOR THESE.

There is much talk about the negro vote.
If every negro votes for the Republican
State ticket 1t will be defeated. Such Is
the status of affairs to-day. II really APP
pears that the instructions TO the negroes,
secret and public. during the past four
days have been TO vote for FGrches.
VAIN EXPECTATIONS.
The latter tells me he expects TO get 49,
001 majority. He thinks Harrison and
himself will get nearly the same majority.
HIS manner in making these statements
lacked the earnestness which accompanies
confidence. Chairman Simmons saws to-
day the Democrats are safe for $1,000 ma
jority. lie adds that he expects them TO
elect all their congressional nominees.
Chairman Simmons has kilograms stating
that at most places IN the State tomorrow
business will be suspended. He expresses
special qualification at this and says 1t IS
good sign.
