His head and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.

cured, when by the advice of a friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the wav the remedy
gets rid of the poison, bv forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"
Mr.. A. T. Morgan, one of the promi-
nent druggists of Macon. and member
of the board of aldermen of that city,
says: 81 am familiar with the terrible
condition of little Charlie Mabry, and
the cure which S.S.S. effected in his
case was remarkable, and proves it to
be wonderful blood remedy"
S.S.S. is the only cure for deepseated
blood diseases, such as Scrofu1a, Rheu-
matism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

The PICNIC AT OCCONEECHEE.
The Methodists of Durham and Raleigh
There Yesterday.

There Yesterday.
Whatever the rest of the world may
this morning think of Col. Julian s. Carr,
there are about 900 Sunday school boys
and girls and their friends that believe
him to be the best and biggest-hearted
man in the world And they are not far
wrong.
| He has great wealth, but he uses it for
the pleasure, enjoyment and beneht OF
those about him. There is not Il particle
of selfshness in him. He proves this ev-
cry year by placing his splendid farm,
Occoneechee, near Hilsboro, at the dis
posal of Sunday school children of this
city and Durham and other North
Carolina towns for picnic purposes.
The freedom of the place is not onlf
given them, but everything on it is placed
at their disposal-to take for the day anG
use as their very own. He does mora. he
goes there in person and sees that nothing
is left undone that can add to the" en-
joyment.
The weather was pe"fect yesterday
morning at o'clock when special train
of five coaches, with nca2Iy rs. iAa.
hundred people aboard, pulled out from
the Union station for OccOneechee. About
the same time an equal number left Dur
ham from Trinity Sunday school
for the same destination. 1t was Il
happy 1hrong that an hour lltti
swarmed over the fields, through wood
and park. or lounged under the great
oaks that stand sentinel along the clear
running Emo. The bright-colored dresses
and the brighter eyes of women ana chi
dren gave TO the scene an eve1 more PIC.
turesque effect. All day long Their glad
voices and merry laughter added a SWEEP
charm to the OCCASION.
Playing at games, romping through the
woods. plucking wild flowers. taking
rides in vehicles supplied by Col. Carr
was the order of the day. And the older
people-they were happy watching the
Younger ones enjoying the day.
Then there was plenty of ice water
mineral water and lemonade, too, and the
best of dinners.
1t was n great day-and everybody en-
loved it. They came away tired out COM
pletely. but declaring that Occoneechee
was simply the finest place in the world.
The excursion was Il success, financial
" rs well as otherwise and Edenton
Street Sunday school hopes that Col. Carr
may live Il thousand years and permit 1t
to 90 to Occoneechee every year on It's an
nual picnic.

making examinations, which generally

anything towards taking hold and devel-
oping, or an offer OF a price some little

course, a man has a right to ask what
ever prize he may believe his property

not far short Of being a positive noodle
when he sets mp a ridiculous o%vervalua-

of fool representations to support it.
| He must know that no business man

the real state of things.
These false representations do moi
affect the pre- ious dreamers alone, bu,
reflect on the whole camp, and mining
men will look with suspicion upon prop

in past experiences may not be quite a.
clear as sparkling water.
