4 GREAT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.

The best weekly newspaper, as well
as the largest ever issued in Raleigh,
il the North Carolinian, issued by the
News and Observer Publishing Com
many. 1t ought to be placed in the
hands Of every farmer in North Caro-
lima. 1t contains the cream of all that
is best from the six daily editions of
the News and Observer with special
features in way Of stories and illustra-
tions. The Democrats in some coun-
ties tell us that it's large circulation in
their counties is having a most whole
some effect. There is no better present
y reader of the News and Observer
could make to a farmer friend, or to
a North Carolina friend living in some
other State, than a years subscription
to the North Carolinian. 1t only costs
one dollar year.
We take the liberty of adding the
following letter from one of the most
substantial and useful men in Guilford
county-a man whose name carries
weight with it in North Carolina:
"To the Editor: Enclosed please find
money order for one dollar to renew
subscription to the North Carolinian.
If all our Democratic newspapers
would only buckle on their armor as
the North Carolinian has done and
make as bold fight for the success
Of Democracy there would be no dan
ger of defeat next November.
Truly yours,

THE SILVER VICTORY IN ALABAMA

The success of Captain Johnston
in Alabama will carry joy to all advo-
Gates of bi-metallism. 1t will be par
ticularly gratifying to North Carolina
for Capt. Johnston moved from Char
lotte to Birmingham when that marvel
lous city began its great growth. He
has grown up withsit, and has become
identified with the progress and deyel-
opment of the State. As a banker, nc
was in a position to see and feel the
evils OF a system Of finance that holds
the whole country in yassalage to the
money centres, and he had enough OF
the bravery Of the old Mecklenburg
Scotch Irish i'm his veins to wage q
warfare for a better system.
His success is gratifying. Alabama
has Governor who is a gold standard
man, and Mr. Clarke, the gold candi-
date against Captain Johnston, is an
able, clean and strong man; and ma
tive Of Alabama. 1t shows that silver is
growing in strength, and that Demo-
crazy is its hope.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish,
