NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD,

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suf-
fer as much from distressing kidney
and bladder troubles as the men.
The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or
Inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys. back, bladder, or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble
of some sort.
The error Is easily avoided by set
ting urine aside for twenty.four
hours; sediment or settling is evil
denced that your kidneys and blad-
der need doctorlng. If you have
pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting
or burning-these are also convinc.
ing proofs of kidney trouble. If Won
nave doctored without benefit, try
DR.: Kilmer's Swamp Root, the crest
kidney remedy. The mild and the
extraordinary effect will surprise
you. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures. If you take a med
ielne you should take the best. AT
druggists fifty cents and one dollar.

A CRAZY PROPOSITION.

Here is some more fruit from that
Nashville Conference of middIe-of-the-
readers. A committee which claims
to speak for those in that conference
has just held meeting in room in
hotel in st. Louis and passed some
resolutions, (see the resolutions in an
other column.) They declare in favor
of national convention to be held in
April of next year, Qs9s) to nominate
then, two years ahead, candidates for
President and Vice-President to be
voted for in 1900.
There are some good level headed
men in that conference and we do not
believe that they will endorse such a
crazy proposition. The men behind
this scheme are either bent on mis-
chief or they are very foolish. This
action inclines US to believe that they
are wanting in sense, for no Bet Of men
bent on mischief and having enough
sense to do any damage, would ever
put forward such wild and impossi.
BILE proposition. At any rate they have
demonstrated chat they are unsafe to
trust with the direction of the party.
Every good man who has been at all in
sympathy with this Nashville Confer
ence, will now no doubt cut loose from
them.
OF course the Peoples party will not

What lump of tony rot. If he
says what he means, then he means
nothing. Or is he trying to hide his
meaning behind a ush of meaning
less words? If Mr.. Manly is chairman
again and uses the same policy and kind
of sense that he used last year he will
land in the ditch again. 1t was MIR.
Manly, the Charlotte Observer, Col.
Means and few other Southern rail-
road goldbugs who are responsible for
the turning down of the proposition
of the Peoples Party for all the sup
porters of Bryan to cooperate in
electing an anti-monopoly legislature
The masses of the Democratic party
wanted such a cooperation in the
State as there was on the electoral
ticket. But the Ransom railroad ma
chine defeated it. They would have
refused to cooperate on the electoral
ticket, had Mr.. Bryan not specially re-
quested it, and they knew. that if they
ignored Mr.. Bryan's request that the
people would run over them.
1t was under Mr.. Manly's manage
ment that ex-Congressman Bum, q
man who had voted in Congress with
Ransom TO repeal the last silver law
on the statute books was invited to in
troduce Mr.. Bryan at Rocky Mount.
This was an insult to Mr.. Bryan and
to every true silver man in the State.
Is it possible that Mr.. Manly and the
Charlotte Observer are pulling to-
gether to defeat Bryan?
But none of these things are sur
prising when it is remembered that
Mr.. Manly opposed the adoption of a
resolution in his county convention
which elected delegates to Raleigh to
instruct the delegates to Chicago to
vote for none but a silver candidate
for President-yes he opposed and
made speech against the adoption of
free silver resolution in his county
convention in the spring of last year.
And this is the man who was selected
by the Democratic State machine to
lead Bryan's campaign in this State.
Had it not been for the unparalleled
patriotism of the Peoples Party, Nc
kinley would have carried this State.
The masses of the Democratic party
can never expect any relief through
that party as long as it is cursed with
such leaders. They will use the party
in the interest of the goldbugs and
monopolists or they will ditch it.

Last week re published the action
Of the Railroad Commission 10 rescind-
ing its order TO reduce telephone rates.
Their excuse VAS that they had no
authority 70 reduce telephone charges.
We said their action was very strange
to say the least. We had ia mind the
fac, that they had twice decided that
they had the power TO reduce such
rates and had also twice decided that
telephone charges were unressonabiy
high. We also had in mind the plain
language Of the Commission Law which
empowers the Railroad Commission 10
make Just and reasonable rates OF
charges for the Transmission OF mes
sages by any telegraph or telephone.
The TACT that telephone companies
usually charge by the month for send
ing messages instead OF by the single
message as the Telegraph companies
usually do makes no difference. The
plain meaning and intent Of the law is
to authorize, empower and direct the
| Commissioners to fix reasonable and
just rates between the public and tele-
I phone, telegraph, railroad and other
public corporations.

sion TO ii nd t-chnIcalit, he hi nj wi icb

Gliding the doubt (Which they claim
now exists in their minds in favor OF
the corporation, they knowingly GU,
off all chance of having it decided
whether the power to fix telephone
rates is in the act, as they can't appeal
, We said their action was strange, but
when we come to think of the m attel
it is in keeping with the record which
they have made. They have made nj
cut in railroad rates though cotton ha
fallen from III cents to five cents, the!
and their famili.s have ridden on al
{ the free passes they could get. AS
tub to the whole" they did manage t,

but they have recalled the reduction

l hereby make affidavit to facts as
follows:
l was in Rocky Mount on Oct. 18th
and heard Senator Buffers speech. He
did not charge that Democrats were so
mean as to hire negroes to commit
rape. [ regard the statement of the
Argonaut as SANDER and a perver-
sion and misstatement of the truth.
Senator Butler made a strong plea for
white supremacy. At the conclusion
of his speech he came to my office
where he was met by a large number
of the audience, among whom were
several prominent Democrats, and all
agreed that it was splendid speech.
There was certainly no evidence of the
Indignation among them which the
Rocky Mount paper has tried to make
appear existed which of course there
would have been had be made the state
ment which the paper charged he
made. The Rocky Mount paper SIM
ply perverted Senator Buffers re-
