In viewing the results OF the In

has but to express again what has
been said before. 1t has only pro-
found regret that great party which
went forth in its united strength to a
grand victory four years ago, should
he found In so short n time after
arraycd against itself. Nor is the
Tact to lie concealed that q large rep

His
Gone!

There is not a more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta thar the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just Under
his nose, a small piece of court p1as-
ter, not larger than a silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man is
M. M. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner OF Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed a tiny scale, like a piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only a fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. It rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which DESTROYED
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious

Minister TerreIIs Arrival.

Washington, April 6-Mr.
Alexander W. Terrell, United
States Minister to Turkey, who
arrived ia New York from abroad
yesterday, reached Washington
last night and made an early call
this morning on Secretary Olney
with whom he was closeted for
some time. Mr.. Terrell declined
to talk for publication about the
Turkish situation beyond stating
that there had been no outbreaks
for two mouths and that every
thing was apparently quite. He
added that despite the attacks
made on his administration as
Minister he knew TO his g%raGifca-
ton that he was sustained by the
President and the State Depart
ment. Mr.. Terrell could give
no Information as to the length
of his stay 10 America, nor
whether he would visit his home
III Texas. There is reason for
the belief that Mr.. Terrell
will remain in Washington for
some time, going over with the
President and Secretary Onley
all the matters affecting the re-
lations of Turkey and the United
States and giving them the bene-
fit Of his knowledge and observa-
ton.

Giving I'D entirely his business, he
wen to Cincinnati and remained for
several months under treatment of d
celebrated specialist. He was after
wards treated in E1rnira, New York,
where the cancer was twice removed,
but he declares that death was prefer
able to such treatment. 1t returned,
however, and the disease seemed to be
of a most viru1ent type; the doctors af-
forded absolutely nc relief, the cancer
spreading all the time, eating out en-
tire1y h partition in the nose, as we'll
as the upper lip and gums.
"Sorne months ago." he says, ST be-
gan to use S. S. s., though I admit with
little faith that it could cure me, but t O
my surprise, 4 few bottles afforded
some relief. Thus encouraged, I de-
tern1ined to give the medicine a thor
ough trial, and it was not long before
the progress of the disease seemed
checked. I continued the medicine,
and remarkable as it may seem, I am
cured and feel like I have new life. 1
can talk distinctly, for the flesh
has begun to grow back AROUND my
teeth, where it has been literally eaten
away. S. S. S. is the most wonderful
remedy in the world, and as my condi-
ton is pretty generally known, every
body will agree that the cure is indeed
a most remarkable one. S. S. S. has
given me a new hold on life, and I
shall certainly sing its praises the re-
mainder of my days."
The above is but one of many re-
1narkab1e cures being daily made by
S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ing1y prevalent, and 1nanifests itself
in such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. 1t wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegeta-
bic, and is a positive and permanent
cure for S~crofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism and all. traces of bad
blood. Our valuable books will be

M. Martin, of Long Reach, West
Va, contracted d severe cold
which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he
says: L used several kinds of

until I bought a bottle of CHAINS
herlain's Cough Remedy, which
relieved me almost instantly, and
in a short time brought about a
complete cure" When troubled
with a cough or cold use this

Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect a cure. No women who
suffers at all from so-ca1led "fema1e weak
ness" should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first put herself into
possession of strong and hearty health by
taking DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly well, exercise and
diversion will help to keep her well. The
cure should come first. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed and rec
commended for only the one thing. It
acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what is the. matter with them, it
will cure it. It will not cure anything
else. 1t is a wholesome tonic, an invig-
Grating nervine, or nerve-food as we'll as
a healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by
taking it regularly during the period Of
pregnancy, the danger and pain OF par
turition were much 1essened, and in
many cases, almost entirely obviated.

Editor of the ARGUS:
Another year has passed away
and again does the ARGUS cele-
Orate its anniversary.
1t does not seem eleven years
since the birth Of the GOLDSBoRO
ARGUS. yet the tick, tick of the
watch measuring the seconds as
they fly, has kept on and On until
seconds have grown into minutes,
minutes into hours, ana hours
into days and months and years.
What changes have these years
brought to the people OF this
community! Ele> en- years is a
long time III the life Of d paper,
yes, ia the life of a man. When
we think of the past eleven years
with all its changes, naturally the
thought of the future bids US
pause. The how and who and
when of tomorrow knocks at
your door ana mine
But | started out to tell you Of
something [ heard some gentle-
men say yesterday about the
ARGUS. 1t was this: The ARGUS
is the cleanest paper in the State.
L have never seer an impure
word OF line in the paper-noth-
ing improper for wife and chill
dren to read" Another gentle
man added: Let me say, too,
that in all these years there shas
never appeared IN the Argus a
single item hostile to Colds ooro.
Day after day the paper has sung
the praises Of the town, and has
done all in its power for the well
fare and prosperity of Colds
boro."
And here is to the good health
of the editor and the ARGUS, and
may both live long and prosper.
