The paper will seemingly bring to an
issue whether the Republicans viii act
with the boiling or the Regular Popu-
lists.
The communication is as follows:
The following was adopted by the Pop
nlist caucus and a copy sent by it's chair
man, Senator Atwater to Chairman Lusk
of the Republican caucus, then in session:
Whereas terms of cooperation were
last summer agreed upon by the organ
ization of the Peoples party and the or
ganization of the Republicanrparty which
expressly included and covered every
thing at stake in the late election and
also all matters arising to be dealt with
and disposed Of by the present General
Assembly except the governship, Eeaten-
ant governorsh.p senatorship and auA:-
torship, which were expressly left on Of
the terms Of cooperation, with each OF
the said organizations left free to pur
sue its respective course with referencv
to the same, and
Whereas the first three places referred
to above as expressly left out of the
terms Of cooperation have been respect
lively determined and settled in favor of
the Republican party, and the auditor
ship in favor of the POpulist party, each
organization pursuing separate and oppo-
site courses with reference to the first
three, as the terms of cooperation gave
them a right to DO with reference to all
four, and
Whereas each party to said contract
has faithfully Carried out to the letter
every term and condition included in
said compact that has arisen up to the
present time, therefore
Resolved, That the Peoples party eau
Gus hereby communicates to the Republi-
can caucus it's desire and readiness to
proceed to carry out in good faith all the
matters yet undetermined, that were con
templated and included in said compact
which binds the two organizations in the
present cooperation.
RESOLVED further, That we are ready
to appoint n committee representing our
organization to meet a similar committee
representing your organization; the two
committees to confer on all matters yet
undetermined and to report their recon-
mendations to their respective Organiza-
tions for their approval and execution, as
they may determine"

JUST SIXTY-TWO YEARS OLD.
Anniversary of the Literary Societies at
Wake Forest.

One OF the pleasantest college events
of the year IS the anniversary of the two
literary societies at Wake Forest Cot
!ege Almost equal in point of general
intelest and attendance TO the regular
commencement, it is far superior to that
occasion in the literary exercises that us
ually take place then. Indeed the Phil
omathesian and Euzekan literary soce-
ties are one of the strongest agencies of
this great institution in training the stu
dents attending it and in molding their
characters. 1t is therefore proper that
the recurring anniversaries of their for
nation should be celebrated in fitting
manner.
On February 18th, 1897, they VIII
have been in existence just siXty-two
years, and unusual preparations have
been made to celebrate the occasion, and
all the friends of the college and Of ed
ucation are invited TO be present The
exercises are entirely under the manage
ment of the societies and they have elect
ed their best men 10 take part in the
program.
The exercises will consist Of a debate
at $50 p. m., and two Orations at $50
p. M, after which a concert will be given
and the society halls thrown open to visi-
tors.
The query To be discussed this year:
rs civilization able to cope with the
evils attending its progress?" The affirm
atiye of this question viii be argued by
Messrs. William David Burns and Joel
Spurgeon Snider; the negative by Messrs.
Henry Hamilton Mashburn and Walter
Nathan johnson. The orations will be
delivered by Messrs. Robert Nirwana
Simms and Albert Brown Cannady. Mr..
William Richard Sykes will preside and
Mr.. Chas Mason Mcintosh act as secre-
tary.
The marshals are: Messrs. Frederick
Kingsbury Cooke, Heber Castle Draper,
George Priestly Davis, Humphrey Bate
Folk, Walter l.. Cohoon, William Par
ker Etehinson.

MORMON MARRIAGE.
(Tarboro Southerner.)

For the first time, probably in the his
tory OF Edgecombe county, if not in North
Carolina, marriage Sunday was sol
emnized by minister of the church of
the Latter Day Saints (MormOn). The
contracting parties were Clifton Reed
and Miss Betties Whitley. OF No. II, Wal
nut Greek township. This was a new
one" on Register Keech, and for a time
he was uncertain what to do with the
certificate As there was no evidence
that the person officiating. A. ]. Holt, was
not regularly ordained minister in his
church he would only enter it up as he
would any other.

it finally settled inte a standing running
sore ON my arm, which nothing seemed
to reach. Three years age was advised

Some men are very entertaining
when first introduced. but they soon
become exhausted and run out. On
q second or third interview they are
aat and monotonous. Like q street
organ, we soon hear all the tunes,
but unlike that instrument they can
not be returned SO easily. Some
remedies are very effective for ono
trial. but they soon exhaust their viz
lures. Like nitre of buchu they do
their work once, but unlike Dosn's
Kidney Pills they are useless and
positively hurtful a second time.
The secret of the success of Doan's
Kidney Pills lies in their intrinsic
merit. They do their work thor
oughly and they can be appealed to
again and again when trouble arises,
and they respond as effectively to
that appeal as when first employ ed.
Unlike ell remedies for the kidneys
put upon the market they have been
able to stay. Unlike oil others they
have never attempted spasmodic or
erratic means to force q sale. Thew

pie they know to confirm or dis
prove. No other kidney remedy
does or can do this. There 10 only
one legitimate conclusion to arrive
at-the remedy that does it has more
than elaborate advertising to sustain
it's representation. 1t has intrinsic

Rd;son's First Inxentiou.

In early life Edison secured a position
as night operator at 4 little way sta
ticn near by. There was practically
nothing to be. done during the night, ~
no trains ever stopped at the little sid
ing. but ii was necessary to keep an ep-
orator ON duty there in case Of ener.
gency.
Edison soon chafed under this mac
tlvity. Night after night he watched
through the weary hours until daylight
without having sent or received q sir
gle message except the perfunctory sig
na1-ths letter "R''-which all opera-
tors were required to send overthe wire
every half hour as proof that they
were on duty and at their posts Final
ly the future wizard began some
electrical experiments to while away
the time. Within few days he had ar
ranged a switchboard confrivance On
the clock which every 80 minutes re-
leased an automatic attachment that
telegraphed the signal "B" and the
number of the station over the railway
wire.
After that life was too easy for the
young operator. He would 60 on duty
early in the evening, and after having
several conversations over the wire with
the train dispatcher would turn On the
switch and 60 to sleep ON cot in the
rear OF the office. Throughout the night
the clock would report the station ION
duty" regularly every half hour.
This device worked like charm. No
one knows how long it might have re-
manned in use were it not for the fact
that in an evil moment tire young in
ventor took another operator into his
confidence. The latter attempted to con-
struct an automatic machine and failed.
1t succeeded, however, in tangling mat
ters so badly that an investigation was
set on foot, which resulted in retiring
young Edison to private life for several
esrs.-Chicago Times Herald.

STRONG TESTIMONY.


Moline Citizens Ten of Prof. Martins
Cures.
Still Moline citizens testify for
Prof. Martin. who is at the Hotel
Downs in Davenport. The Moline
Dispatch says: He cannot bs
praised too highly. It is surprising to
see how d. d. d. takes all those pim-
pies, old sores. worst forms Of skin
disease or eczema and makes Q per-
manent cure. and to think that it
has been used here only 80 days on
people who have had eczema all their
life and completely covered all over.
Now they are well; and another
thing D. D. d stops that itching
and burning at once. followed By .
speedy cure inside Of 80 days. d.

blood disease; it is skin disease and
must be drawn from the skin. You
are wasting your money in taking
medicine or using salves or SOAPS.
d. d. D. is fluid which draws the
disease from the skin, leaving the
skin clear and free from all disease.
Remember this is a cure for one

never has there been found q case of
skin disease or eczema that d. d. ID.

studying on skin diseases this dis
covery was made, and is known
to one person only. Thousands Of
photographs and testimonials can be
shown at this office of the worst
forms Of skin disease, that have been
cured by d. D. D. Also q great
many cures have been made here,
but only few people are willing to
have their names put in the papers :,
but G. t. Wilson, 2427 Sixth avenue,
and Ed Wehr. 22l4 Fifth avenue, can
tell you all about it; also IL you call

Sneexing.

When travelling in the south of Ire
land some years ago, was not little
surprised to hear every one in q room
shout, God bless you," when any per-
son sneezed, and the "God bless you"
was repeated for every sneeze. ] have
since learned that this salutation has an
origin going back to the sixth century,
when the black plague fell upon Rome.
Its victims showed the first symptoms
by sneezing. When the African king
OF Menomopata sneezes, all those near
his person send up great shout, all
within hearing take it up, so that the
sneeze may be said to go echoing
through the kingdom. One would think
the subjects would soon get hoarse if
their sovereign CHANGED to have an old
fashioned New England hay fever.
When the king Of Senaar sneezes, bis
oourtlers turn their backs on him and
give loud slap on their right thigh.
There Is great deal of character in the
manner of sneezing, and though even
George Washington could not be dig
nified when he felt sneeze coming on
and was in doubts whether it would
come to head or not it must be con-
fessed that good sneeze is more pleas
urable than otherwise. New York

excuse has to be handed to the lieu
