Ger of the most malignant type, and
after exhausting their efforts without
doing me any good, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incurable. l was
terribly reduced in health, and felt as
if my life was was ting away.
Z" At this crisis, was advised by a
friend to try S. S. S., and in a short
while the Cancer seemed more in
famed than before. / was informed
that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores OF the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months; then it began to heal.
I continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and / enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of a return OF the
disease"
Cancer is becoming alarmingly
prevalent, and manifests 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. lp.L q,

Cancer
Can be Cured.

II Is very often that the most insig..
nificant symptoms are forerunncrs OF
the most violent disease. There IS
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases 1t
is first indicated by a very small PIN
pie or sore, to which no attention Is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the hrst
symptoms of most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura e. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: "A small pimple OF a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; il soon changed to purple, ana
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing ali efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly infamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite while could
not see. The doctors said 1 had Cam

HOW SOME SENATOR'S GET RICH

Tho time was when a Senator on ms
salary could not get rich. That time mas
nassed Mr.. Walter Wellman, writing
from Washington to the Chicago Herald
shows how it is that they get rich in these
days:
monday last a certain stock broker
in this city filled an order for 9OO shares
of sugar stock in Wall street. His Gus
toners were three United States Sena-
tors.
"In filing this order the broker began
buying at 1885 and bought up to llo.
Yesterday this deal was closed out at
from 117k to 11S. The profits on the
transaction was about S3O,OOO.
"This is what one broker did. How
much stock was handled by other brokers
here and in New York for senatorial ae-
count no one knows.
at is pretty we'll understood that Sena-
tors who were able to get inside mforma-
ton concerning the sugar schedule IN the
Finance committee revision have been
huying in Wall street for a week or more.
They were specializing on sure thlng,
for the manner in which the sugar sched-
ule fayors the trust could not fail to put
its shares up in the market when the
facts should become public property.
."rhere is a great deal OF gossip about
these senatorial investments in sugar, but
it is not considered probable the Senate
will order an investigation. The senate
does not care for any more sugar specu-

OF course we boys believed him-we

The folks in the town all knowed him
laughed at the tales he told
Bout sperits walkin' aroun' his bed, an
dead men diggin' fer gold;
An they made it up they'd fool him; SO
they come to the house one night,
Jest when he wuz tellin' them awful tales

THE SNOW HILL RAILROAD AND
SCOTLAND NECK.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth
''Turn up something" is a good motto.
Three weeks ago the Commonwealth
called the attention Of the people of Scot
land Neck to the fact that they are suf-
fering great disadvantage in business
by reason of heavy freight rates. We
insisted on some action whereby relief
may be had.
The business men Of the town have held
two or three meetings looking to that end,
and have talked Of building a road to the
Roanoke river.
The Commonwealth has been informed
by responsible men in Torboro and at
Crisp, in Edgecombe county, that the new
railroad for which the people of Snow
Hill are making effort will come to Tar
boro and then be continued ON to some
point touching the Roanoke and Tar
River railroad near Lewiston, or Roxo-
bel. Such road would pass very near
Scotland Neck on straight line from
Tarboro.

THE ATLANTA COURT MARTIAL

Lieutenants Bamford and O'Brien Go
Free-The Charges Considered Re
vengeful, and Beneath the Dignity of
Military Tribunal.
Atlanta. May 12.-General Wesley
Merritt has issued an order refusing to
appoint a court martial to try charges
against Lieutenants O'Brien and Bam-
ford, preferred by Captain Romeyn. In
dismissing the charges against O'Brien,
which were excessive drinking and con-
duct unbecoming an officer, he states that
they grew out of feeling of personal
spite, and that military tribunals could
not be made vehicles Of private revenge.
In passing on the charges against Lieu
tenant Bamford, which grew out Of his
conduct with reference to his reported en-
gagement to Miss Nina Romeyn, Cen
eral Merritt states that they are not a
proper subject for a court Of inquiry, and
that he feels that only physical condi-
ton of Captain Romeyn can explain his
action in filing them for that purpose.

cradle.
Different diseases have different pois-
ons, some have several indigestion more
than any.
That is, the symptoms of indigestion
are caused by the poisons which are
created by undigested food.
When you are sick, try to get rid of
your poison.
1t is often easier than you think, for
all nature is helping you. Only the poi
son is obstinate, but the first step is to
go 70 the root of it.
The poisons of undigested food, which
cause lethargy, headache, dizziness,
weakness, bad taste, stomach-ache, fever,
tiatulence, nausea, constipation, loss of
appetite, jaundice, anaemia, neuralgia,
rheumatism etc. these poisons can be
swept away and annihilated by the
Shaker Digestive Cordial.

digest food, when it is too weak to do so
by itself, will purify your system of poi
son and renew your strength and health.
