Cancer
Can be Cured.

1t is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners Of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small pi1n-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Minis has resided at
Smithvi11e, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: g A small pin1p1e Of
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. Ny eye
became terribly inflamed, and was SO
swollen, that for quite while I could
not see. The doctors said had Cam

one cent out of the bank except upon
check signed by man in Durham.
If the elected man is willing to enter
in such a contract, the people should
not be willing to have their pride thus
spit upon. Think of it--Wake county
elects a man to take care of it's money
and another man steps in who says,
You may have the name of the office,
but you shall not touch the inoney ca
cept through my SON" What aoes IL
mean" Can it mean other than this:
That Il will not stand security for
your good conduct as Treasurer, UNI
less you let me handle the money
through my son." The people of Wake
county are willing to trust knight
with its money, but his bondsman not
willing 1t is shame both upon the
people and the Treasurer alike.
This is condition and not n
theory" and it is well TO enquire how
Mr. Knight proposes to change the con-
dition in case he is again elected. In
saying that he will not do so again
does he not admit that he has already
done the wrong thing.
No, such a man, without regard to
politics, is not fit TO be Treasurer OF
Wake county, and the people will say
so at the polls, unless they want their
own affairs run by people OF other
counties for their own profit.
If we can't get Knight without the
Riggsbee Durham annex then we will
take neither.
