WHAT is THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night, it steals in
upon us unawares. The patients
have pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back. They
feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the morning.
A sort of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like a heavy load on
the stomach; sometimes faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. Eyes
are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and feel clammy. After
awhile a cough sets in, at first dry,
but after few months it is attended
with a greenish colored eXpectOration
The patient feels tired all the while,
and sleep does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes nerv-
Gus, irritable and gloomy, and has
evil forebodings. There is a giddiness
a sort of whirling sensation in the
head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become cOStive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood be-
comes thick and stagnaIft; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with yell
low; the urine is scanty and high col
ored, depositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a
sour taste and sometimes with
a sweetish taste; this is frequently
attended with palpitation of the heart
the vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes; there is feel
ing of great prostration and weak
ness. All of these symptoms are in
turn present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our population has
this disease in some of it's varied
forms. 1t has been found that medi-
cal men have mistaken the nature of
this disease. Some have treated it
for Liver Complaint, some for Dys-
pepsia, others for Kidney Disease,
ETC., ETC., but none of the various
kinds of treatment have been attend
ed with success.
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial !
causes the food eaten to be digested.
This will cause an appetite for more |
food, and this being digestel will re-
suit in an increase of strength, an in |
crease of flesh and an increase of |
nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give |
way to vigor and courage. The pale,
thin and emaciated will recover their
color and plumpness, because red |
blood and fat are the result of prop
erly digested food.
A ten cent trial bottle will produce
a result. Its good effect will be rea-
liZed at once. You will not have to
take a dozen bottles to find out if it |
is doing you any good. Try it, and
then give praise to the Shakers of |
Mount Lebanon, New York, for the
relief that you obtain.

Some years ago when suffering
with an uncommonly severe attack of
diarrhoea, Mr.. W. B. Guinnip, of At

1t gave me almost immediate relief.
1t has no superior and 1 think no

Of this remedy. 1t is pleasant to take

FIVE HOURS OF AGONY.
Helpless In a Pit Full Of Kissing
Copperheads.
Frightful Experience Which Nearly Un.
[ balanced n Pennsylvania Mans
Mind-venomous Reptiles All
Around Him.

John Penloe, of 'Noxelville, Pa, had
an experience with copperhead snakes
recently which almost unbalanced his
mind.
Penloe, accompanied by Nero M,
Pouch, went into the Seven mountains,
north of Musser's Valley, in search of
huckleberries. They remained together
in the morning, when, finding the berry
crop short in their vicinity, they sep
arated.
Pouch continued picking berries until
late In the afternoon, when, having filed
the basket, he lay down under tree
and fell asleep.
At five o'clock he awoke and started
for the place agreed on for meeting,
and, not seeing Penloe, he went home.
At about ten o'clock that night a men,
Der of Penloe's family came and in
formed Pouch that his father had not
yet returned.
Pouch dressed and secured lantern
and proceeded to climb the rugged side
Of Jacks mountain. After tramping
two hours he reashed the place of the
appointed meeting. He hoped to find
Penloe there sleeping, but no trace
could be found, and, although he called
at the top of his voice, he received no
answer.
Pouch had scarcely sat down, when
he was startled by muffied cry. 1t
seemed great distance away, over
against the side of another mountain.
He called again, and was answered by
faint response. Picking up his staff
and lantern, he made haste in the d.
rection from which the sound came.
Nearer and nearer, each time a little
more distinct, came the sound of
voice, until finally it seemed that 1T
came from beneath his feet.
Where are your" inquired Pouch.
"For Gods sake, come; I am alive
with snakes" was the answer.
Pouch had stopped at the edge of an
old ore pit, which had long been dis
used. A flood of moonlight revealed
Penloe standing on the bottom of the

pit, his eyes glaring and his face dis
torted almost beyond recognition.
What is wrong?" asked Pouch.
Don't you see these snakes? feel
them crawling all over me. tried to
climb out, but on every shelf of rock I
placed my hand to pull myself up I
would press my fingers ON the cold body
OF snake. For Gods sake, be quick
and help me out; I am going crazy"
Pouch lowered his lantern into the
pit and then beheld a sight that made
his blood run cold. One monster cop
perhead lay in a graceful curve almos.
encircling the feet of the frightened
man. Another that seemed to be almost
as large as an old-fashioned bread
wicker was coiled in pile not two feet
away, while on every shelving rock
that extended into the pit were several
pairs of eyes and as many wicked
tongues playing like lightning in the
darkness of the foul cavern.
Pouch got long pole and dropped it
into the pit. Penloe grasped the pole
and was pulled out of the den of snakes.
On reaching the surface he fell ex-
hausted to the ground.
The five hours strain, during which
time he stood erect afraid to move a
muscle, had been too much, and it was
several hours before he could even tell
how it had happened. He had waited
until after dark for his companion, and,
being familiar with the trail, started
home alone. He lost his way, and while
trying to get out of the woods had fallen
into the pit.
A crowd of men went to the deserted
ore hole the next day and found it to be
fairly alive with copperheads. They
filed the pit with brush and logs, and
setting fire to it, roasted the snakes
| alive.

WE GAN BE CONSISTENT.
And Unite the Silver Forces in North
Carolina for Bryan.

To the Editor: The political situ-
alton in North Carolina requires dis
passionate consideration and prudent
handling. 1t is idle to shut our eyes
to the patent facts that there are
many thousands Of voters in North
Carolina who are POpulists and who,
for the present at least, doubtless in
tend to remain so: and that there
are many Populists who are violently
opposed to any cooperation with the
Democratic party, either upon an cleo
t0ral ticket or upon anything else. II
this faction of the Populists succeed
i'm impressing their views upon the
State convention. and procure the
nomination Of a Bryan and Watson
electoral ticket, against the Bryan
and SeWall Democratic electoral tick
ct. the effect will be to divide the
BRYAN vote and in all human proba-
bilItv cause the election of the Repub-
lican Mckinley electors. While | have
no positive information that the Re
publican campaign fund is being used
to bring this about, this would certain
Nv seem to be the most effective way
in which such campaign fund could
be used in North Carolina.
The recent suspicious activity of GER
tain Populists of Republican tenden-
cies. is noticeable. Just at this time
when our Democratic State Executive
Committee are inviting the union of
All who favor Bryan's election to vote
for Bryan electors, dividing them be-
tween those who favor SGWall for Vice
President and those who favor Watson,
the bitter denunciatiOns OF such a
proposition in Democratic papers OF
wide influence is directly playing in
the hands Of the Republican organiza-
ton.
We NAV as well admit now, as to
be Obliged to do so later in the cam
paign. that we cannot, in all probablh-
tv. succeed for the present in bring
ING back into the Democratic party
the Populist voters who have left 1t.
We can honorably vote with them for
an electoral ticket composed OF a falr
proportion of Democrats and Popu.
lists, all of whom are sincere advocates
of the election of Bryan. All who
honestly advocate the same candidate
for President can, with more courtesy
and profit to themselves, dwell upon
their numerous points of agreement,
rather than continue to send forth de-
nunciations and recriminatiOns. Ger
tainlv a fusion of voters who are adj
vocating a platform in many respects
identical. and who are supporting the
same standard bearer, is not to be
compared with fusion of parties upon
platforms absolutely divergent, advo-
eating different men. different meas
ures. different methods.
In this contest. it seems TO me that
in one respect at least the Democrats
and Populists can stand together.
Their hostility to the combination rep
resented by the Republican National
Chairman. Mr.. Hanna, and the organ
lied band of monopolists for whose
protection and salvation the Republi-
can campaign is waged. -

GREENvlLLE TOBACCO MARKET
Opened With a Large Break and
Bright Prospects.

Greenville, n. C., Aug. 4.-(Special.)
Yesterday the Greenyille tobacco
market started the season of 1896-'97
with a 0,000-pound break. From the
way the market opens the indications
are that this is to be the best and
liveliest season in it's history. There
were twenty-five buyers present at
the opening break with several others
yet to come.
Some idea of the growth of the
Greenville market may be had from
figures taken from the report COM
piled by the railroad agent showing
the comparative shipments for two
years by rail. For the year ending
August list, 1895, the shipments were
2,62T, 461 pounds, while for the year
ending the same date in 1896, they
reached 1914, SS9 pounds. The market
expects to handle more than 100000
pounds the coming season. All of the
warehouses have had to enlarge their
capacity.
At the annual meeting of the To
bacco Board of Trade, G.. p. Fleming
was elected president; j. S. Jenkins,
vice-president; X. T. Harrison, secre-
tary and treasurer for the coming
year.
The Populists held their county con
vention here Saturday to select dele
gates to the State and district con
yentions. The attendance showed
marked falling off from their conven-
ton held two years ago. They adopt
ed a resolution endorsing and ratify-
ing the action and platform of the
late National Populist convention at
St. Louis Harry Skinner was endors-
ed for denomination for Congress, and
Z. A. Moye was endorsed for the nomi-
nation for Secretary of State.
A. j. Move, of Farmyille township,
spoke upon the adoption of the resoiu-
tion He said the only thing he knew
against Bryan was that he was a nOml-
nee of the Democratic party; that

HE WAS SERVED RIGHT.

The Democracy of Illinois had the
courage of their convictions when they
dropped Ben Coble from the State
Central Executive Committee. He is
hand in glove with the boiling gold
Democrats and has no place in the
councils of the party. Those gold
Democrats who openly or secretly con-
spire. to secure the election OF Mckin-
ley ought not to remain anywhere on
committees during the conduct OF this
campaign. 1t is to be run strictly on
the line of the Chicago platform, and
gold Democrats who are not willing,
to quote Mr. Cleveland ito submit to
the arbitrament Of the National con-
vention," ought to be frank enough
to say so.

THE "BoTTLED UP" STATESMEN


Judge Russell has gone to Marshall
to confer with Senator Pritchard on
the political situation. The place is
we'll chosen. Marshall is a town that
cannot grow. 1t is penned up by
mountains so that it cannot expand.
In a sense, it is bottled up
1t is most appropriate that these
two wouldbe statesmen, who find
themselves ''bottled up" should go to
Marshall to find a way out Of their
perplexities. They are the original
Mckinley men. When they thought
they could dodge the money question
by talking tariff, they captured the
Republican State convention for Nc
Kinley. They wrote an explicit plank
for protective tariff. The plank on
the money question was straddle.
They went home happy, thinking they
could fuse with the Populists, put
Mckinley in the White House, Russell
in the Governors Mansion, and Pritch-
ard in Vance's seat. RusselPs smile
was as broad as the town of Marshall,
and Pritchard's inward chuckle was as
merry as the music of the French
Broad that flows by his door. But
this Arcadian existence came to a sud
den end. Mr.. Teller and other true
Republicans walked out of the St.
Louis convention when Wall street
forced the adoption OF a gold plank.
The silver men captured the National
Democratic convention. They said the
money question was paramount, and
that any man who supported Mckinley
was a traitor to silver The Silver
and Populist conventions were utnt
against Mckinley and gold.
This new face on the situation has
made both Russell and Pritchard
dumb They can't be induced to talk.
They are now in the circumscribed
town Of Marshall debating this query;
How can supporter of Mckinley
and the gold platform make the people
believe that he is for the free coinage
of silver
These willy politicians have tackled
many knotty problems, but this is the
hardest one that ever made them get
alternately cold and hot and lose flesh
every day Any suggestions along the
line of this query should be sent pre-
paid to Marshall n. c., addressed to

following comment upon the action OF
the Court in the rate-of-war case:
"Since Judge Simonton extinguished
a great railroad rate-war by an in
junction, that plank in the Democratic
platform condemning government by
injunction does not appear to be 50
obnoxious in certain quarters as it
formerly was. Judge Simonton may
not have intended to do so, but with
out doubt he has given great boost
to Bryan and his platform by bringing
the Southern railroad war to an end
without the formalty of trial"
