WHY WILL LADIES
SUFFER FROM BE.
ING RUN DOWN.
WHEN THEY CAN
SO EASILY
BE CURED ?

Until February, 1892, l was physical
wreck, and had been so for over twenty
years. No one can ever know what |
suffered from Rheumatism and Neuralgia
in different parts Of my body, but princi-
pally in my head. l suffered so much
with pains in my back that often l would
have to lay with hot bottles of water
to my back, to give me what little relief
it would. / suffered with indigestion for
years, which gave me often such chok-
ing spells that the doctor would have
to be summoned in haste. / could not eat
a mouthful of meat or solid food Of any
kind and the erudation of gas from my
stomach was distressing. My system
was completely run down. I had no
strength and was distressingly nervous.
Sometimes | would be unconscious from
these nervous spells, and would have to
have hot baths applied for relief. When
| had been in this condition for over
twenty years, Mrs. Joe Person visited our
town in February, 1892, and persuaded
me to try half dozen bottles of her Rem
edy, as she told me she had never known
it to fail to restore broken down sys-
tenn. 1 knew 1 would have to try some
thing, and thought it might as we'll be
her Remedy as anything, but l had no
faith in anything curing me. | bought
half a dozen bottles, and when was on
the second bottle, l began to feel better.
and by the time / took the six bottles
l WAS WE'LL. Indigestion was per-
fectly cured, and 1 can now eat anything
/ want and it agrees with me. 1t cured
me entirely of neuralgia, and / have
never had it since. 1t cured me of hem
orrhoids-from which l suffered agony
rheumatism, backache, headache, ner-
vousness, all cured.
Whenever l see anyone suffering from
anything, / ask them why don't they
take one half dozen bottles of the Rem
edy-that it would cur them. / would
not take hundreds Of dollars for what it
did for me. 1t restored me to health,
and i now enjoy life.

RATES ON COTTON GOODS.

These gentlemen and all others who
are seeking to secure just and lower rates,
onght to be given by the Railroad Com
mission every assistance possible. The
Commission was organized to do what
these manufacturers and business men
are seeking to accomplish, and it was for
such and other like duties that the State
pays the expenses of the Commission.
We rejoice to know that the big ship
pers are united and active in direction
that will help the entire State.

A VICTORY FOR CLEAN METHODS

The result OF the Senatorial deadlock
| in Florida ought to be emphasized. The
corporation and gold influences Of the
State left no stone unturned to secure
the election of Mr.. Chipley. The same
methods were used there that prevailed
in the North Carolina Legislature, but
the people won in Florida by "the skin of
their teeth"
Mr.. Mallory the Senator-elect, is a gem
tleman OF ability and high standing. He
was a member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives in 1893, and stood with Vance
and Daniel and Bryan against Cleve-
lands gold standard policy. He gained
the enmity Of Chipley and the million
aire syndicate in Florida, and they de-
feated him for denomination later on. His
election to the Senate was a crushing
defeat to Chipley and his supporters.
Mr.. Mallory's father was Secretary
Of the Navy. He stood for clean methods.
was hostile to the Chipley and Standard
throttle the Democracy of Florida,
and believes in the reform declarations of
the Chicago platform. His election is
more than a personal compliments is a
victory for true Democracy.
Senator Mallory's father before him rep
resented Florida, before the war in the
United States Senate.

Louisburg, \. c., May 17.-'Special)-
Saturday was a field day for liquor men
There were representatives from ten OF
twelve liquors houses, all wanting to
supply the dispensary goods and the dis
pensary commissioners held court" al
most all day.
1t was amusing to an outsider To see
the anxiety of the various drummers
as one after another was turned in be-
fore the board to make his proposition.
The order was finally split up among
four houses.
The week has been favorable for
farming operations. Tobacco is almost
entirely planted as is cotton also.

"A SOOu 6IOIy Ou Opullcl

were very eager for an appointment.
Whichever got the endorsement OF
Speaker Hileman got the place. The Pop
ulist hurried towards the Speakers room,
but on the way friends of the Republic
can invited this Populist to take drink

while the Republican hustled towards

York, where uncle Toms Cabin" is
playing, were not allowed by the man

there will be soon be another test Of the
equal rights law, which made trouble for
theatrical and hotel people when it was
first passed.
''The most vicious trust ever conceiv-
ed" says the Washington Post, ''is now
in process Of formation. Negotiations
are almost complete for the amalgama-
ton OF all the patent and enamelled
leather concerns in Newark, n. j., into
one great company, which shall control
the trade Of the United States. There are
thirty-fve concerns in Newark, engaged
solely in the manufacture OF patent or
enamelled leather, and there are only
three establishments outside of Newark
which manufacture the goods"
Mr.. John Wanamaker, the Philadel-
phia merchant, former Postmaster-Gen-
eral and recent candidate for the United
States Senate, takes gloomy view Of the
outlook for business. In an address at
the annual meeting Of the Business Mems
League Of Philadelphia last Friday he
said: 1.-The country is not prosperous.
-. The tide will soon set in strongly
against the Republican party unless the
depression of business is altered. Idle
ness and want breed bitter discomfort
which will never be overcome until there
is ample employment"
The lottery industry is dead. The
Dingley bill has slain it, for section 10 of
that measure prohibits the importation of
lottery tickets into the United States, and
provides fine and Imprisonment for vio-
lation of the law. This is the first time
in the history Of the country that tariff
bill has prohibited the importation Of lot
terry tickets. In 1890 Congress passed
the anti-lottery postal law, which shut
lotteries out of the mails, and newspapers
containing the advertisements of such
enterprises" were confscated il found
in Uncle Sans mail bags. 1t was this
law which put quietus upon the famous
