FADs IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in ev-
cry thing else and a "new thing" fire..
quently sells for short time simply
because 1t is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, alb
solute merit. The fact that Hood
Sarsaparilia has stood its ground a.
gainst all competition, and its sales
have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, be-
yond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
of this medicine. The W things
have come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foundation
of absolute merit and its power to cure
and its sales continue to be the largest
in the world:

MR. K7TCHIN At RINGWOOD.
Has Made Brilliant Campaign.

Mr. Claude Kitchin. Democratic NOM
inee for the State Senate from this
county, has made brilliant campaign
in this county; and wherever he has
spoken he has most favorably impressed
all who heard him.
A correspondent from Rrinkleyyille
writes The COMMONWEALTH in most
complimentary terms of Mr. Kitchln's
speech at Ringwood, but we now have
space for only excerpts from the letter.
Our correspondent says II heard him
at Ringwood and at Essex and I only
wish every man in the county could
have heard him. / do not think there
was a Populist who heard him that did
not think the Democrats are right, and
that the Populist leaders in the State
and county are trying to ram gold bugs
down their Threats, and the Populists
as we'll as the Democrats are determin-
ed to vote against them. His argu-
ments are so forclble and convincing
that l cannot see how any honest
silver man can do otherwise than vote
the Democratic ticket.
"While Mr.. Kltchin spoke some col
ored men said he was right and every
body should follow him.
During his speech one man said,
Hes as good as his father Some said
he Is chip of the old block, but an
other said, No, sir, he's no chip but
very large block"
Our. correspondent says that Mr..
Kitchin's speech was one that even
Zeb Vance might have been proud to
make. and adds that the wonder is that
one 80 young as Mr.. Kitchin should be
SO thoroughly posted on the political
issues OF the day. He makes pleasing
predictions for Mr.. Kitchin's future
and says that North Carolina will be
glad to honor him with positions of
trust even higher than a seat in the
State Senate.
Our correspondent says: "Fellow
Democrats, and Populist friends, who
shall represent us in our next General
Assembly? Shall it be this young
champion, DR.. Patterson and Mr..
Thorne, or shall it be Mr.. E. T. Clark |
and two gold bugs, Jim Arlington and |
Scotland Harris? Rally, friends, do
justice to your wives and little ones
ana to your country"
Pleasant mention is made of Chair |
man Travis vigorous fight in the coun-
ty, and he predicts also brilliant career
for him because of his energy and
pluck.
Congressman Woodlands speech, says
our correspondent, was telling in its eff
feet, and he thinks Mr.. Woodland will
be reelected.

Was the Game Which Was to Have Been
Played Yesterday Afternoon.
MANAGER PETE HALL ENTERS A PROTEST
And Says the Game should Have
Gone to Portsmouth, But Umpire
ChisnolI Didn't Agree With Him
and Gives HIS Reasons for Not
Doing so-stocksdaIe Not Wanted.

The $500 spectators who went out to
League Park to see q game of ball be-
tween Portsmouth and Norfolk yester-
day afternoon did not, for most part,
get what they were looking for, as the
whole business ended in a very unsatis-
factory manner.
In the first place the Changers re-
fused to accept Stockdale as an umpire
and walked off the grounds, bats and
baggage. Pfanmiller threw a ball over
the plate. and a forfeit in favor of Nor
folk was announced.
After three quarters of an hour spent
IN arguing, including mock gaps of
ball by professionals and amateurs, the
visiting club agreed to accept the SER
vices Of Mr.. Fred Chisnell as umpire,
the forfeit was declared off and the
game was started at about 4:45 p. m.
In the second inning, in stealing home.
Davis spiked Rollins in R slide, and the
latter. severely hurt, was forced to re-
tire. Wilson was substituted behind the
Ebat and Brandt also decided to "git
some place" that place being on first
base. Katz went in the box and essayed
10 pitch. having lots of fun all by him
SELF. He was shortly replaced by liar-
5Erove. during whose brief reign the ball
was thrown into the bleachers and
practically lost, while two Gulls trotted
home. A crowd surged out on the dia-

sion. claiming that the forfeit should go
