Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
laims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

laims to be Benefactor to Weakened
| Mankind.
There Is always more or Tess suspicion
| ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overhows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them OF
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
0uld seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
-eply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
AMY years. research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
tOring to men the strength they need, 1t
would seem that all men suffering with
any form Of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
.uest to FL. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
Mich, stating that you are not send
ng for the presc. Upton out Of idle Curl
osity, but that you wish to make use of
the medicine by giving it trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
hough some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afforG to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
G nuine. Cut IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.

SAD OCCURRENCE AT MORE
HEAD CITY.

Correspondence of The Messenger
Goldsboro, n. c., July II.
Professor j. Holiday, clarionetist in
Professor Chas. w. Writings orchestra
at the Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City,
came to a sad end there Saturday even
ing The particulars, as your CORE
spondent learns them, are about as fol-
lows:
About 5 o'clock Prof. HOLIDAY went
down to the bath house to take a bath,
and. while on the steps which lead down
to the water, was taken with dizziness
or apoplexy and fell face foremost into
the water. After being taken out and
doctor called, he was revived so far as to
be able to walk to the hotel. There he
conversed with friends for a short time,
but soon became unconscious and pass
ed away without struggle or even
speaking again, about . o'clock. His re-
mains were tenderly and solemnly laid
away by kind friends in Bay View ceme-
terry there ON yesterday.

THE EXCITEMENT GREAT
THE FIRE AROUSES THE GREENSBORO
PEOPLE.
Three Negroes Arrested--A List of the Losses
Incurred by the Torch of the
Incehdiary.

Greensboro, n. c., July 13.-(SpeciaD
Another disastrous fire broke out In
Greensboro last night a quarter to .
O'Clock The fire started in Mr. l.. IL.
Darden's shoe store and spread across
to Armfield Ridge and Vickory's dry
goods store. 1t was thought at this
time that the whole long block owned by
DR.. d. w. c.. Benbow would be destroy
ed. The fire was almost directly above
the Bank of Guilford and Wharton Bros
book store, but these firms escaped with
little loss. Just as the fire was about
under cantrol, fire broke out in the old
Star Warehouse, now occupied by the
immense produce and cold storage ware
house of J. j. Phoenix. This was about
300 feet from the other fire, and was I'M
doubtedly set on fire, as two men were
seen running out of the building almost
simultaneously with the bursting out of
the flames. The losses and insurance, as
far as your correspondent can learn them
are about as follows: l.. b. Darden,
about S5.OOO-Mutual of New York, ST.
500: Fireman's Fund, San Francisco,
$1,000; n. G. Home, of Raleigh, $1,000;
Armfield Ridge and Vickory, loss about
Sc. OOO-Hanover of New York, $1,000;
Williamsburg City, of New York, $1,000;
n. G. Home, of Raleigh, $1,000; j..
r. Cox, trustee for DIR. Benbow, loss
probably 2.OOO-insured in Finacial AS
ISOLATION of Philadelphia, $4,000. Whar-
ton Bros, loss very small, insured in Con-
tinental, of New York, $500, and another
company, $500. Star Warehouse, loss
about $500, insured in st. Paul Fire
and Marine for 81 900. j. j. Phoenix,
loss unknown, but large; insured in
Orient Insurance Company, 400.
Great excitement prevailed when it
was known that the last fire was Of in
cendiary origin, and guards were placed
all over the city. 1t is thought that the
second fire was started to facilitate
things, as three negroes were arrested
while attempting to steal pile of shoes.
After the fire was extinguished and the
firemen had gone home, fire broke out
a fresh in the first building but was again
extinguished.

NO SCHOOL ELECTION.
Halifax County Will Not Hold Election
in August-Moonshiners in That Coun-
ty-Good Rains.

Halifax County Will Not Hold Election
in August-Moonshiner in That Coun-
ty-Good Rains.
Scotland Neck, n O., July 13.-(Spe-
cial)-It is about settled that there will
be no election in this county in August
on the question cf special tax for puh!lc
schools. The county commissioners were
in session yesterday and they learned
that the registration books were not
opened in time to comply with the cleo
ton. They instructed the clerk Of the
board to notify the sheriff not to serve
notice on poll-holders appointed a week
ago. and also to notify registrars at pre-
cincts where registration books were not
opened six Saturdays before the date set
for election, that there will be no cleo
ton at such precincts. This practically
declares no election in the county, for
the registration books were not opened at
a single precinct six Saturdays before the
date of election. Registrars are still
sending in their designations and will
not serye'i in the matter.
1t was talked at the court house yes
terday that moonshiners are quite nu-
merous in the western part of this coun-
ty. Some of them are said to be desper-
ate, and propose to deal roughly with any
one who interferes with their illicit dis
tilleries. One conservative man said that
he was afraid to go squirrel hunting for
fear some moonshiner would take him for
a man trying to spy out still and shoot
him. The moonshiners have not been
operating in that part of the county long,
but they have so reduced the price, of
whiskey, one man said yesterday, that
they have broken up barrooms. The
bar keepers in the county can't sell it as
cheap as the distilleries.
There was a glorious rain here last
night, the first good rain in about eight
weeks.

Washington. July 12.-ln reply to in
quiries of the States representative to-
day, Senator Tillman made the following
statement in reference to the pending
senatorial contest in the State:
Personally, the relations between lrby
and myself are friendly, at least they
are not SO strained as they were at one
time, but that fact has no significance
whatever. so far as the senatorial cam
paign in the State is concerned. We were
brought together by q mutual friend a
year or so ago without any possible ref
erence to present or future conditions.
Speaking of his alleged connection with
the Irby-Evans combination to defeat
McLaurin, he said while in Washing
ton some time ago Evans talked with me
about his candidacy for the Senate and
advised him against it and the announce
ment of his candidacy in the newspapers
was a surprise to me, and L was even
more surprised to see that lrby and
Evans were running together-surprised
because they had knitted each other SO
mercilessly in the past"
Now" he added, 81 want it under
stood that i am taking no part in the
contest. / will not be drawn into it, and
any statement to the contrary is abso-
lutely false. The people must decide il

preston OF the binletallic issue, was
developed AS early as it was. Therank and

as a matter OF faith and doctrine, that tn.

before the country worth fighting about
and further, that the solemn declarations
of tie Chicago platform constitute the
supreme mandatory law OF the party, and
SO must continue until they are reaffirIned,
modified, or changed at the convention of
