Scotland Neck, n. c., Oct. 22.-(Spe-
cial.-The latest with reference to the
postoffice here is that Collin Anthony
will not accept the appointment, but
nothing is known as to what will be the
next turn. 1t is thought that the Repub-
licans of the county are insisting on An
thony's refusing the appointment so that
he may be kept on the board of COM
missioners for the county. 1t is evi-

they wish Anthony to continue on the
hoard of commissioners to help control
the interests of the Republicans in the
county and at the same time they dis
like to interfere with Congressman
Whites wishes in the matter Meantime
strong influence is being brought to bear
in Mr.. Smiths interest, and he may yet
hold on to the postoffice.

Cancer

Take Swifts Specific. 1t is the
only known cure for this deadly dis
ease. 1t will free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has deep foothold, it will cure, but
it takes longer. 1t is a medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots Of life in the blood, and forces
out every vestige of impurity. 1t
goes to the seat of the most obstin-
ate cases, which are beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time with surgical
operations or torturing plasters, as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. Swift's Specific is the
only Real Cancer Cure on the face
of the earth.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Aug. 6.-Peter
Bons the tramp charged with the MUIR
der of Pearl Morrison, at Crystal Falls,
has made a complete confession ac-
llnowledging that he assaulted the girl
and then strangled her to death. The
confession was secured by a detective
who visited Bons, clad in a priests
garb, and was heard by others.
Bons said he saw Pearl leave the
main highwa and take the Blaney
Creek road, and ne followed Over
taking fer, ne made an insulting pro-
posal and was repulsed. He struck
the girl three times in the face, knock
ing her down, and jumped on her stom-
ach. Just as he was about to leave his
victim she groaned and opened her
eyes He then choked her until he was
satisfied that life was extinct. He re-
turned to the place the next morning
to make sure that he had completed his
nendish work.
He started his criminal career by
burglarizing a store in his home town,
Norway, Mich, in 1892, when he was
but 1G years old. Since then he has
committed numerous burglaries and
holdups all over the country.

BILIOUS AND PILLIOUSNESS.
WHY SOME BILIOUS PEOPLE TAKE
PILLS AND OTHERS DON'T.

Biliousuess is much misunderstood,
so many people have it, that It's worth
understanding, the more so as it is easy
enough, If you begin right.
Liver secretes fluid called bile. Bile
goes to the intestines, where it performs im-
portant work in digestion Sometimes bile
passages in liver get cloggcd This is bill
iousness
"Pnliousnessn is the idea that by taking a
pin Nhich stimulates the liver we may cure
hiliousness. 1t is only an idea
Pill-takug relieves but does not cure IL.
The cure can only come through the stomach.
Why?
Briousness is caused by the poison of un-
digested food, irritating the liver To cure
biliousness, these poisous must be got out of
the stomach The only sure way TO do this
is with Shaker Digestive Cordial
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant,
tonic aid to digestios, prepared from roots,
herbs and wine by the Shakers Of Mount
Lebanon. 1t helps the stomach to digest its
food, and sweeps out Of the system all dan
gerous poisons.
In this way Il cures bilioumess headache,
nausea, dizziness, bad taste, stomach-ache,
fever datulence, constipation, loss Of APP

temporary relief

FOR The BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Bverv Father and
Mnlhar.

There are two kinds Of babies i'm the world;
the Kind who have too little uourishmcnt
and the kind who have too much
The first Kind Of babies smrve because
their stomachs are too weak to digest the
amount of food necessary for their growth
aud hcalthfll development and the other
kind are ovcrfed with the result that the
delicate stomach and ntestucs are infamed
and a- every mother knows, thousands Of in-
luts die yearly when warm weather begins,
from stomach and bowel disorders.
Opiatrs, soothing syrups and catharlics,
however mild, are not what is demanded.
Go 90 the root Of the trouble, assist the
child digestion, give the little stomach the
aid necessary to thoroughly and promptly
digest IT'S food and the little one will thrive
aud grow and gladden. the mothers heart
To give perfect digestion TO the child it is
only necessary TO give i'm pleasant form the
harmless dircstives contained in the well
Known tablets sold in drug stores under the
name Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuarts
Tablets contain no so called drugs, but are
composed of pepsin, pure aseptic, fruit acids,
starch digestves and are put up in lozenge
form, with sugar of milk, very pleasant to
the taste and have been used for years as the
safest, hest remedy for any form of indiges-
tion and stomach troubles in adults, but
recently many remarkable cures have been
made in the cases of weakly babies who
failed to grow and thrive as they should
Buffalo mother short time ago who
dcspaired of the life of her babe was so de-
lighted with the results from giving the
child these tablets that she went before the

were recommended to me for my two months
old baby, which was sick and puny and the
doctors said was suffering from indigestion.

Stuart Tablets and procured box from my
druggist and used only the large sweet
lozenges in the box and was delighted to find
they were just the thing for my baby.

pepsia Tablets saved my child's life.

way regarding its food or assimilation.

for years as the best preparation for all
stomach troubles whether in adults orinfants
