that the very best medicine for re-
storing the tired-out nervous system
to a healthy vigor, is Electric Bitters.

by giving tone to the nerve centres in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidneys, and aids these or

appetite, aids digestion and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it, Sold for soc. or 81

FLoRIDA's ALL RIGHT.
Ten Thousand Majority Predicted for
Bloxham To-day.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 5.-Not since
1876. when the Democrats won control
<of this commonwealth from the Re
Mublicans has there been so much in
tefest taken in a State election as is
displayed in the contest that will be
settled at the polls tomorrow. In adj
dition to the State issues there are
many county differences to be adjusted
at the polls AS a rule only Democrat
ic and Republican tickets are in the
field. but in some cases, there are Pop
uIist and Independent candidates. The
battle. however, is between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, and in the fight
for important State offices, the Demo
Gratis will win by large majorities. Fiji
ty thousand votes will probably be
cast, and of these it is estimated that
Bloxham will receive between 10000
and $4,000 for Governor.

The speech of Vice-President Steven
son before the convention of Demo
cratic clubs at st. Louis, published in
another column, is judicial statement
of the position of the Democratic par
ty by a conservative statesman. He
shows conclusiyely that the Democrat
ic platform of 1896 is in keeping with
the party's former declarations, and
that they have nothing of repudia-
ton or revolution about them. When
such Democrats as Adlai Stevenson,
born and bred a conservative of con-
servatives, applauds and approves the
Democratic platform it is proof that
the outcries against it do not proceed
from those who love the time-honored
principles of the party, but from those
who resent the return of the party to
its old position of hostility to govern
ment by banks, trusts and syndicates.
We hope all men who believe in the
fundamental principles of Democracy
will read the temperate utternacs and
conclusive arguments of the Vice-Pres-
ident. He is a Democrat "after the
most straitest Sect" a defender of
the Democratic faith; a lover of law
and honor; a believer in self govern
ment. His position will have great
weight with thoughtful voters. He
will vote the fusion electoral ticket in
Illinois because he wants Bryan elect
ed and Democratic government to be
inaugurated. Democrats everywhere
who really desire Bryan's election will
initiate his example.

WATCH OUT FOR THEM.

Information comes to the News and
Observer that for several weeks past
there has been steady importation
of negroes into the State by McKinley's
agents. They have been scattered
throughout the larger towns, and it
had been supposed the Democrats had
not caught on to the scheme 1t will
be well for Democrats everywhere,
particularly in the larger towns, to
watch out for these importations and
challenge them when they attempt to
vote.

The place where the accident occurred is
at the base of "A steep incline, alongside Of
which runs "A high -embankment. The car
was loaded with passengers, and as it
reached the incline il began to slip, owing
to wet tracks. The motorman applied
the brakes, n at that ome the gear
wheel broke, rendering the brakes useless.
