can be better appreciated when I state
that the disease reached a point where
1t was matter of utter impossibility for
me to take my food, or handle myself in
any way, and for several months the
nurses were compelled to turn me in bed
by use of the sheets.
This was my condition when S.S.S.
was recommended to me, and 1 must
confess that 1 had little hopes of any
medicine benehtting me. I was soon
encouraged, however, when after taking
three bottles / was able to move nv
right arm. continued to take the med
1cIne and before long was able to walk
across the room, and when 1 had finish
ed one dozen bottles was able to get
about as of old.
Il have been hale and hearty now for
two years, without any sign of return
of the disease. I will never cease to
praise S.S.S., which regard as the most
wonderful blood remedy on earth: it
brought me out of condition of utter
helplessness to one of robust health.

SCiiatiC
Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using a real blood RENE
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking rem
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t
is i'll just such cases which other so-called
blood remedies cannot reach that
SIS. has made some of the most Won
derful cures. Rheumatism is one of
the most obstinate diseases of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon it.
Mr.. Asa Smith. who resides at Green
castle, Indiana, where he is we'll known,
writes:
"For many years have suffered from
that terrible disease known as Sciatic
Rheumatism, which the treatment of
many physicians failed to relieve.
I have also used nearly every known
blood remedy, but they did me
no good, as they did not seem to
reach my case at all. Possibly my con-
dition and the extent of my suferings

LATEST PROTECTION INCONSIS-
TENCY.

The Ashepille Citizen scores a good
point when it expresses the inconsis-
tent speeches Of Mckinley and Pritch-
ard at Chicago. Mckinley argued the
value of protection by saying by the
protective system the burden Of
revenue falls almost entirely upon the
wealthy and luxurious few, while the
substantial and laboring many who
live at home, and upon home products,
60 entirely free" Pritchard praised
the protective system because it put
a heavy tariff ON the raw materials of
the South. The raw materials cot
ton, lumber, wool, iron and coal-are
the prime necessities of the poor man,
and If he uses them under the Republi-
can policy, according to Pritchard, he
must pay a heavy tax on them. Nc
Kinley says the Republicans put a
heavy tax only on luxu'ies brought
from abroad, and that the poor man
need not pay any tax at all This is
the latest protection inconsistency.
1t is only one of many.

HoLTON ENDORSED.

The Winston Republican lays down
the following as the basis Of fusion be-
tween the Republicans and Populists
in 1896:
Fusion on the basis of 1894 on local,
county, Legislature, State and Congress
sional tickets is safe, honest and hon.
orable, and ought not to be abandoned.
The fact that it exists in sixty counties
Of the state and without jar shows
the hold it has upon the masses. But
the Republicans Of North Carolina
will not desert the National Republican
party and It's principles to vote for Free
Silver Electors"
This is a virtual endorsement Of the
Holton and Settle proposition.

4 YOUNG MAN TO De HoNoRED.

Though the News and Observer en-
dorses the action of the Board Of
Trustees Of the University, in uphold
ing the faculty limitation as regards
the secret fraternities at the institn-
ton and fears that they tend to ex-
clusiyeness, it does not shut its eyes
to any good done by them or their
members. Certainly, the following
incident shows that one Of the frater-
nifty men at the University deserves
the thanks and gratitude OF every
friend Of the University.
Of the highest social standing, a
son Of wealthy parents, a member Of
the d. X. f. fraternity, Harry Lake is
yet loved by every student at Chapel
HILL He has means and gives Of them
literally. At Chapel Hill his gifts
amount to upwards Of $4,000. THE
new Y. NJ g. a. building when finish
ed viii have in it much Of this stu
dents money; the churches IN the
village have reason to rejoice at his
coming; tile student body is his
debtor for n splendid and costly ath-
letic track; but last and most to the
credit of this free-handed young man,
there are 1T the University several
poor and needy students whose edu-
cation will have been obtained through
his liberality
But the usefulness Of the man
stands ont ia most clear-cut relief
when it Is stated that the men who
owe to him their education are Of the
very class that do not belong to
the fraternities. And more ardent
fraternity man than Lake does not
liyei
This society has among It's mem
bers two students who are 20 poor that
they are able to attend college only
through outside aid. They are mem
bers on their merit, and We learn that
there are many such students belong
ing to the different fraternities.
The case Of this young man sets an
object lesson in beneyolence. Ii strikes
a blow at snobbery. There are good
fraternities and good men belonging
to them Surely the case Of Lake and
his fraternity shows the society in its
very best light,

As State after State comes into line
in the matter of abolishing, by legisla-
ton, the form of "three days Of grace, -
the question has been raised in many a
mind as to the origin and supposed
meaning of a custom which is now dy-
ing out in the march of social pro-
gress. The editor of The Sunday
School Times takes up this subject edi-
torially. in his issue OF February IS,
and shows that the custom dates back
not only to early English days but to
the very infancy Of the world and the
time of primeval man.

DEFAULTlNG BOND BIDDERS.
No Decision as to What win Row be
the Bonds.

Washington, ID. c., Feb 1.-THE cues
ton Of what disposition shall be made
Of the bonds upon which allottees have
defaulted by falling to make the re-
quircd payment Of twenty per cent.
on receipt OF notice Of the acceptance
Of their bids, is now before the Score
tary OF the Treasury.
The amount Of these defaults has not
yet been asceFtained, nor is it expected
that the exact amount will be learned
before the middle, and possibly the last
Of the week, when the reports from the
several sub-treasuries are expected 10
be in. 1t is believed, however, that the
bid Of William Graves and his associ-
ates, Of New York city, for $4,000. 900
at l15.3391 is by far the largest. and it
is probable that the aggregate will not
exceed this amount by more than ST.
100000, at the most Mr. J. +. Morgan
has fled with Secretary Carlisle. on
behalf Of himself and his associates,
claim to all defaulted alIotments am
der his bid Of 110.f877, and has depos-
tied in the sub-trcasurV at New York
sufficient gold to cover them
The Secretary, within the last day or
two. has received p number of offers
TO take all bonds upon which default
Of payment has been made, at figures
considerably in excess of the Morgan
bid, but he is undoubtedly inclined ia
the opinion that, under the terms OF
his circular Of January 9th. he is I'M
hibited from accepting any bids for
Eonds after that date, and hence it fol
lows that Mr.. Morgan and his associ-
ates are very likely to get an amount
considerably in excess of their first al,
lotment. The Secretary, however, has
not yet made an official decision en- this
point, and does not expect to do sc
until tomorrow.

THE SILVER PARTY IN ROBSON.
Populists Advocate Fusion With Silver
Democrats.

Lumberton, n. c., Feb. 17.-(SpeciaD
Hon. j. Frank Ray, late member of
the Legislature from Macon, was in
Lumberton this week, representing
CHM & Co, Boston, book publishers.
More than twice as much guano will
he sold in Robson as was sold last
year, The cotton crop will be largely
increased.
A prominent Populist office-holder
said the other day that the Populists
would much prefer to fuse with the
silver ring of the Democratic party
than with the Republicans. It is
strange that party that wants to
build up national party on principle
would want to fuse with any party.
Every new party that joined in with
an old party has been absorbed and
soon passed out Of existence.
