DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused Nv an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever ; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

10, THE POOR NEGRO!
A Breezy Time Over tho Color Line at
st. Louis.

A Breezy Time Over tho Color Line at
st. Louis.
One of the most ludicrous things
that has happened in the political
campaign up to date occurred at St.
Louis last week. There are num-
Der of colored delegates to the Ma
tional Republican convention. Some
of them were getting in early, espec-
tally those delegations in which
there were contests for seats. They
went to the hotels in St. Louis for
accommodation, but not hotel in
St. Louis would take them in. Talk
about a merry row! The atmos-
phere was blue. Mr.. Mark Hanna,
the chief manager for Mckinley,
knew it would never do to let those
colored delegates get left like that.
He began to scheme all sorts of ways,
but he couldn't get anywhere for
them to lay their heads. Matters
where getting critical, when a tele-
gram came saying that a train of
splendid Pullman cars would soon
arrive, bringing in big delegations
of white men, and that the colored
delegates could use these cars. But
this didn't pacify the colored breth-
rem, and the row went on. Finally
the Mckinley managers, as last re-
sort, went out and hired, or almost
bought some hotels, for especial
accommodation of the colored con-
tingent, and then matters quoted
down; but the colored men are still
rather touchy.
To show the "GREAT RESPECT" ]
which the Northern people hold
these Southern Republican dele
gates, we print the following from
the New York journal:
"The Hanna arrangements have
arranged for all the Southern dele
gates to be met by its myrmidon:
one hundred miles from St. Louis
When they buy and pay their money
for a delegate the great Mckinley
syndicate does not propose to ru1
any risk of losing the goods.
"Such delegates as they run thei
dollar mark brand on will be watch
ed night and day by a McKinle!
heller. Unless a delegate is read,
to submit to be thus watched AM
herded by one of Hanna's men h
cannot deal with the long. heade;
syndicate which has been incorpo
rated to work Mckinley and win
White House."

Attention Veterans,

General Order No. l, from Headquar-
tiers Seaboard Air Line, Portsmouth,
Va.
TO ALL EMPLOYEES
Pay strict attention to all Confed-
crate veterans on their trip to Rich
mond, and show them every courtesy.
(Signed) ---
Now we are ready to obey this or
der and will fulfill it to the letter. All
roads do not run to Richmond, but the
Seaboard Air Line does, and is called
the battlefield route. Why? Every
old soldier knows that it passes
through or close to many hard fought
battle-tields. Ask the old veteran of
McRae's or Cooks North Carolina
Brigades if he remembers Ream's sta
ton, and the brilliant charge, where
1000 of Warren's Corps were made
prisoners, and 20 pieces of artillery
were captured. When the great Lee
heard of this splendid victory he ex-
claimed, "God bless old North Caro-
lima"
The S. A. L. will take you within so
yards of these breastwOrks. Then the
Crater. You all know what that word
means. The S. A. L. takes you through
Petersburg, near Malvern's Hill, Fair
Oaks, Cold Harbor, and close to the
scene of the last act of the great drama,
Appomattox. Nearly everybody is 60
ing by this route and why not join
them? The Junius Daniel Camp, of
Raleigh, has made the S. A. l.. the Off
cial route and asks all the Confederate
| veterans in the surrounding country
to join them at Raleigh, where special
cars have been secured, and all 60 to-
gether. So that when these memoir
able battle-fields are being passed
some one will tell, while the others
listen, to the story of the brave deeds
of our North Carolina soldiers. The
fare is only l cent per mile and the
good people of Richmond will take
care of the veterans while there.
This is probably the last time you may
have an opportunity to attend one Of
these reunions. The old soldiers ar.
every day taking up that silent march
across the river, where they are an
swering the roll call in better land
Let every one come and join US.

Capt. A. 8. Peace For Secretary Of State.

Feeling deeply interested in our

Capt. Peace has a reputation for
ability and the highest integrity, and
would fill the position with honor
and credit both to himself and party.
He is a member of the Peoples Par
ty central executive committee, and
his service to the Populists of the
State in this position have been in
valuable.
More than ever before is there a
suggestion of the wisdom of nomina-
ting such q man, and at this crisis
he is the most available, because his
record is without blemish either po-
litically or personally, and in pri-
vate life his conduct challenges the
respect of all. He has been tried in
the furnace and come out without
the smell of fire.
He has given the reform question
much study and research and is
recognized as a man of ability, and
one who commands the respect and
confidence even of his political foes
Let US present to tho convention

Peoples Party Senators and Congress-
men have made since last December.
To begin with, the Peoples Party
Senators invited every silver man in
both of the old parties to join with
them last December in organizing the
Senate against the gold men and for
financial reform. This was eminently
proper and timely inasmuch as no
party controlled the Senate. The sill
yer men in both parties were put to
the test, but nearly all of them proved
to be party bugs first and patriots
second, if patriots at all. The six PeO-
piles Party Senators have almost every
day informed both of the old parties
that they were ready to give six votes
to either side, which would be to give
a ma jority to either party that would
offer and support any measure in tn e
| interest of the American people. The
Peoples Party Senators even agreed
to accept the Mckinley tariff bill as
as an amendment on a free coinage
bill if the Republicans would agree to
support free coinage bill with such
an amendment. This the Republic
cans declined to do, thereby admit
ting that they not only considered the
gold standard of greater Importance
than the Mckinley tariff, but at the
same Time showing cOncluSlVeIy that
e they were opposed to increasing the
money of the country and to doing
:, anything that would be of relief and
t material benefit to the laboring clas-
= ses. In short, the Peoples Party has
e been ready to support any measure
o that either side would offer that was
0 honest and meritorious; but no such
y measures have been offered. On the
: other hand, the measures which have
d been introduced by the Peoples party
: Senators and Congressman would d.
n credit to any set of legislators wht
r have ever been honOred with seats il
q the American COngress-measures tina
# would have relieved the present dis
IS tress of the People and made this ono
l. more prosperous and happy country
l. But these measures to-day lie dea'
l. upon the calender of an adjOurne;
