A SPECIAL ME ESSEGE.

President Mckinley will send to Con-
gress, probably on Wednesday, a special
message indicating the need of national
aid for the sufferers from the Mississippi
river foods, says the Washington Star.
The President has not decided what he
will say in the message. He may recorI-
mend all appropriation, without naming
>tlie amount, Or lie may submit the facts
he-has gathered and let Congress Judge
as to what should be done. The Prcsi-
dent is intensely interested III the matter.
Early this morning he held conference
with Senator Jones and other Congress
men from Arkansas They called to i'm
part the information they have obtained
and to get what the President has on
hand
kilograms were received yesterday
from the Governors of Mississippi, Ar
kansas ard Louisiana, reporting the stu
alton as they see it. These kilograms
together with the others receired during
the last few days, will probably be in
corporated in the message to be sent t.
GoEss.c---s.
No appropriation has been naae b,
| Congress for the relief of flood sufferer
since 1890, when an appropriation o
$500 was ordered and expended. L
has been the policy Of the President ant
Congress not to offer help in these case
unless the government of tie States anc
local authorities declare that they are un
able to meet the situation.

THE PRESIDENT WEARY.

NGSulHs3 lOIl SCtCItl W NeW lOTh Duu
1t is qlite probable that before the close
Of business at the White House on Satur-
day night an executive order looking to
the exclusion of Office seekers from the
Executive Mansion will be promulgated.
It is possible, also, that curtaii1nent of
the tri-weekly public receptions will be
ordered. For the first time since March
4th the President is thinking of excluding
himself from the throng of Office seekers
and politicians. Senators and Represen-
tatives, too, are likely to have their priv
i1eges somewhat curtailed. Today Secre-
tary Porter admitted that the continued
pressure was worrying the President,
and that he does not believe that he
will be able to withstand the attacks
much longer. Secretary Porter ca1cu-
| lates roughly that not less than 10000
callers have been received at the White
House since March a. This estimate
does not include the 10000 to I4,ooo peo-
pie received at the tri-week1y public
receptions. As things are now, the
President finds no time for the business
of State until the shades of night hover
over the Executive Mansion, and even
then he is repeatedly interrupted by
Senators and Representatives who claim
the right to make evening appointments
Within the past fortnight the pres
sure for Office has been SO great that
the President has been compelled to keer
the bar on his office door up until 10 a

, that the best time to see the Presiden
, was early in the morning. "Come earl,

seekers slogan, and they did come earl

LOOKING AHEAD TO 1900.


Representatives of one hundred c1r1hs
that supported Bryan and Sewall last fall
met today and organized the Progressive
Democratic League of New York Git.
Aside from the si,,.,e tax clubs and labor
organizations which took part in the last
campaign, there were about 200 Bryan
and Sewell clubs organized. While only
half of these were represented today, the
leaders of the movement say that the
other 100 and the IS clubs not distinctly
classed as for Bryan and Sewell will fall
in line.
The leaders believe that the new move
ment will assume immense proportions,
and that the independent vote cast next
fall, if political circumstaces should make
it necessary for such a vote to be cast,
will exceed $1,000, the vote. cast for
Henry George in 1886. The convention
adopted declaration of principles affirm
ing allegiance to the national Democratic
platform of 1896.
1t was announced that if the Greater
New York bill becomes law the league
will consolidate with the Brooklyn Dem
ocratic League.

Captain Buck Kitchin made one
of his characteristic speeches at
Scotland Neck last week which
was attended largely by ladies.
He declared that he had no conf
dence in any man who wants Of
flee. Of the political parties in
North Carolina he said the Pop
ulist party. the party with which
he had affiliated two years, had
more .rascals in it that any other
according to number. He said
Marion Butler is the worst man in
it, and Harry Skinner next worse.
He declared there had been an
abortion of justice to the people
of North Carolina in their efforts
for financial reform, and he fur
ther decla red in thunderous tones
that the people will not long sub

that of the Anglo-Saxon.

CONGRESSMAN cLaRK's HIT,

Towards the close of the House
debate on the Dingley tariff bill
Congressman Champ Clark, Of
Missouri, secured the floor and
scored hit against its abomina-
tions. The following extract is
III the nature of a prophecy:
"Seven million farmers will dig
you up with their hosses, pillow
you up with their plows, hammer
you with their sledges, rake you
down with their currycmbs, pull
verize you with their disks, cut
you down with their axes, split
you to pieces with their froes, ride
you on their barbed wire fences,
toss you with their pitchforks,
smite you with their pile-drivers,
grind you through their sausage
mills, NOW you down with their
reapers, bind you up in great bun
dies and run you through their
threshing machines and scatter
you as worthless chaff because you
are raising the prices of all farm
ing implements by As per cent.
(Great laughter and applause).
Every patient forced to endure a
surgical operation will loathe you
because you have increased the
tax on anaesthetics. Every lover
Of learning will detest you because
you have laid prohibitive tariff on
books, thereby shutting the gates
of knowledge SO far as was in your
power. Every child that dies of
diphtheria will pass away pro
nouncing on you its lasting curse
because you have put up the price
of antitoxin. You are arrayine
against you every right thinking
man and woman in the land.
Since He, 1niscalled the Morning Star
Nor man nor fend hath fallen so far
as you will fall when the people
of the United States find ssout th'
numerous monstrosities contained
in this bill"

DO YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

Do you know that cutting corns
only makes them grow more?
Soaking the feet and rubbing them
with pum;ce stone is much better
and if persisted in, say using it
twice week, will keep the feet in
splendid condition.
Do you know that a little soda
added to milk that is just on the
turn will sweeten it again.
Do you know that kerosene or
sweet Oil viii soften boots OF
shoes that have been hardened by
wetting? The shoe should be
warmed gently over fire and the
oil rubbed in with the hand.
Do you know that a hot water
compress, just as hot as you can
bear it, is the very best thing to
stop a cut from bleeding?
Do you know it is always prop
er to throw the head back when
the nose is bleeding, and that a
piece of paper put between the up
per lip and the gum will stop the
hemorrhage?
Do you know that weak solu-
ton of tea Will keep the hair from
falling out?
DO you know that newspaper
torn in scraps will clean the inside
of a bottle OF caralfe as we'll as
shot, and this simple thing, when
wet and then torn apart and
strewn over the carpet when sweep
ing will absorb the dust and help
brighten the carpet?
Do you know that palm needs
very little light, and that a pan
danus should be allowed to get sc
dry that the earth is yellow and

that then it should have sufficient
water to wet all the way through:

FOR MERCHANTS ESPECIALLY
Profitable Advertising.


An ad is never too long when it
is all interesting.
Each ad should be different but
not Indifferent.
Good advertising will keep q
business man On his feet.
Truth in advertising may be
stranger than fiction, but it's
much better.
The ad that is too briefly writ
ten cannot have q too brief exist
ence.
If the right ad is in the right
place the results are certain to be
right.
It is better to say too much il
your I'D than not enough to be un,
derstood.
The ad that is followed by 6
string of customers will do to tic
to.

-Ruskin once wrote +" An author
should say all he has to say in the
fewest possible words, or his read
er is sure to skip them and in the
plainest possible words, or his
reader will certainly misunder-
stand them" Ruskin was far from
practicing what he preached; but
his preaching was, nevertheless,
orthodox. IN this instance, and it is
just as applicable to advertising
literature as to any other.

We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Liver Regulator on subject of the deepest
interest and Importance to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
and makers of Simmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers are often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, OF
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
but }. II. Zeilin & Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same We alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
will. Bear this fact well in mind, ifyou have
been in the habit of using a medicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula-
tor, because the name was somewhat, like
it, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. The Regulator has
been favorabiy known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constipa-
ton, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from Diseased Liver.
We ask you to loeh for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red z

medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.
