SENATOR mEwsoRNe SCORED
Did Son-in-Law Joe Rogers, Register

Did Son"in-Law Joe Rogers, Register
Of Deeds, inspire the Article?
The Progressive Farmer this week
publishes three column article from
State Senator Mewborne, Of Lenoir.
advocating continued fusion between
the Republicans and populists. In it
he is pretty severe on Senator Butler
and those Populists who oppose fusion.
1T is believed in Raleigh that Register
of Deeds Rogers, who recently married
Senator Mewborne's daughter. inspir-
ed the article if he did not write it.
The Register of Deeds is very anxious to
have fusion so he can be reelected, and
his father-in-law, with a paternal in
terest, is doing all he can to keep the
Office in the family The Progressive
Farmer replies to Senator Mewborne
in pretty straight talk, closing with
these words;
1T may not be out of place to re-
mind Senator Mewborne that the Pop
ulists of North Carolina went TO school
to him and they have not forgotten
what he taught them. If he doesn't
mind he will be like some prominent
having set the woods a
fire-he win be hunting help to put
it out. When the Senator was writing
his graphic description Of the alleged
~ fusion of Democrats and Populists
in this State he seemed to forget that
there is a good deal more uneasiness
about the danger of his landing in the
camps of the enemy than there is
about the detection of the Populists he
names in his article"

of things it shows itself in many ways.
At first, perhaps a little heaviness in the
stomach little sourness, windy belchings
and heartburn Headaches begin to come
pretty soon after that and biliousness and
a foul taste in the mouth in the morning.
Chronic constipation is almost inevitable,
and it is probably the most serious trouble
that ever takes hold of man. Its seeming
simplicity is the thing that makes it most
dangerous, because il leads to neglect
Constipation means that the body Is hold
ing poisonous, impure matter that should
be gotten rid of. The poison is being re-
absorbed into the blood and the whole body
Is being filed with 1t. Impurity In the
blood may lead TO almost any disease
There is no telling what may come of IT,
Constipation is the start of it all. And yet
people are careless about it. 1t is the most
serious thing in the world, and the easiest
TO cure if you go about it right DR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation Cure
it positively certainly, infallibly. Cure it
so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop
taking medicine.
And that is something that no other
remedy IN the world will do.
