Poison in the Air We Breathe.

Malaria" means bad air. 1t is air tainted
with poison from decaying vegetable or ami
NAL matter. II produces periodic fcvcrs /:
with one sick day and one well day. Malaria
also arises from sewers. garbage. newly open ed
streets, or from laying street mains, damp Gel
lars, and from a hundred unsupported places
We inhale this poison in breathing and can
not avoid II except 10y destroying the ma
larrious influences. When malaria enters
the system, ii causes, perhaps. a greater varie-
ty of aches, pains and miscellaneous mischief
than any other single source. Among them
are severe sickness of the stomach, Chills and
Fever. Bilious Attacks, Typhoid Fever, Jaun-
dice, Constipation, Liver and Kidney Com
plants, rheumatism and Neuralgia Hither-
to quinine has been the chief reliance for tn e
cure of Malaria. but when This drug settles in
the system, it produces almost as serious
troubles as it is employed 10 diSpel. The most
trustworthy preventative aud cure for Malaria
in all its forms IS DIR. David Kcnnedy's Favo.
rite Remedy. This splendid tonic and altcra.
tive roots out the poison without danger to
after health. BY its inNigoratug effects upon
tho digestive organs and the blood. this med
iCine prepares the system ia resist the foul
and poisonous air, and renders an attack OF
Malaria impossible. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy hes already made a noble record in
those parts of the country where Malaria il
constant pest in tho summer and fall and
whore no other preparation or drug has vet
been found able either to ward il off or eradi-
cate il.

month and from the 3D. to the Z4th OF

There was very small body Of snow on

THE A

The eighth annual session of the
North Carolina State Alliance will be
held at Greensboro this week, begin
ming to day. Everything points to a
good meeting, n of the largest and
best ever held. We hope every county
will be represented. Let nothing be
half done, and may harmony prevail.
The annual election of officers and
the enlargement of our business feat
ures will be among the important mat
tiers to be brought before the meeting.
Constitution sticklers probably will
attempt to revise the constitution and
bylaws. After working on the consti-
tuition for several years it ought to be
about as good now as it need be and
ought to be let alone. 1t is quite an
expense to get out a new issue every
year, and this is our protest against the
practice. If the body thinks it wise to
revise it, all right.
Many Jealous Alliancemen want a
produce exchange at Asheville and
other central points. These exchanges
are needed and can be made a success
if the right kind of business talent can
be secured to handle produce. Such
exchanges were of the first objects
of the Alliance, but most of them
turned out badly because they were
conducted on wrong principles. Let
us have business exchanges, or none.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TON.

Some account of the proceedings of
the Democratic State Convention and
a full text of the platform appears
elsewhere.
The convention was slimly attended.
TWenty-four counties failed to answer
at roll call and most of the others sent
small delegations. The usual number
of time-servers and ofice-holders we're
on hand and they helped give the con-
vention a respectable appearance. But
for them the convention would not
have compared favorably with some
township and ward primaries we have
witnessed in this State. The leaders
were here, some of the professions were
represented. But the great voting
masses were not represented. We
hardly think there were twenty-five
farmers in the convention, but few
merchants, few doctors. 1t is now a
party of leaders without voters, a
machine without motor power, a wheel
without hub or spokes.
The platform contains some good
things. Individual Democrats doubt
less desire tariff and financial reform
but the party has made such a des
perate record that platforms by the
party are regarded as a farce. We all
know that the banking and corpora
