Is the fact that It cures every form 81
piles without one particle Of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the
use of injurious Opiates which simply
deaden and paralyze the nerves OF the
parts and make matters worse in the
long run. But it is done solely by its
remarkable healing and soothing eff
fects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
is rapidly accomplished.
And the point We want to make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle of pain.
This fact is one reason for the
great popularity of the Pyramid Pile
Cure and constitutes one very great
difference between it and almost any
other kind of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to al
low it to be classed with many salves,
suppositories, pills, ETC., and you run
no risk in trying it, as is often the
case with new and untried prepare
lions.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
for get the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
Shall, Mich, and sold by druggists at
so cents per package.

WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose Stomachs are Weak
and Digestion Poor.

DIR. Harlandson, whose opinion in dis
eases is worthy of attention, says when
a man or woman comes to me complain
ing of Indigestion, loss of appetite, sour
stomach, belching, sour water-risings,
headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambi-
ton and general run down nervous
condition l advise them to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet to
dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle
with the food eaten. The result is that
the food is speedily digested before it
has time to sour and ferment. These
tablets will digest food anyway wheth-
or the stomach wants to or not, because
they contain harmless digestive prin-
ciples, vegetable essences, pepsin and
Golden Seal which supply just what the
weak stomach lacks.
/ have advised the tablets with great
success, both in curing Indigestion and
to build up the tissues, increase flesh in
thin nervous patients, whose real trou-
-bles was dyspepsia and as soon as the
stomach was put to rights they did not
know what sickness was.
A fifty cent package of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not secret
patent medicine, they can be used as
often as desired with full assurance that
they contain nothing harmful in the
slightest degree; on the contrary, anyone
whose stomach is at all deranged will
find great benefit from the use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They viii
cure any form of stomach weakness or
disease except cancer of the stomach.

10 10 AND DAN.
A Poet Sizes Up Wakes Clerk and Reg
lister of Deeds.
sep7-eod-3t

A Poet Sizes Up Wakes Clerk and Reg
lister of Deeds.
The following poem by a poet of q
neighboring county sizes up the Rcpubli
can candidate for Clerk of the Court
and Register of Deeds in Wake county:
10 10 and Dan are mighty sly,
They promised the coons of Wake
They'd give 'em a goodly piece of pie
And perhaps slice of cake.
Dan kept his promise, but too late
TO satisfy poor Cuff;
Cuff claimed he didn't get bait;
Dan thought he'd got enough.
Dams little game is much too thin;
His friend, George Turn-off-sky
Will have to pack his trunks and 'shin, .
The nigs must have that pie.
A hungry niger, like a bear,
When once he's scented blood,
Is ready then the hand to tear
That passes him his food.
So. Dan don't cuss, for Willie Russ
Is just the proper make
To fill your place and stop the fuss
You're raising over cake.
]. Q. and Joe have talked it DER
And planned again to try
To fool the coons Of Wake once more
,And gobble up the pie.
But, Joe, the niggers uppish now;
He feels his growing power;
He knows you failed to keep your vow
He'll trust you never more.
For Cuffy has learned that Joe's
A mighty tricky elf,
And always uses that long nose
TO smell out pie for self.
The old Virginny mig by chance
Some half score years ago
Was taught a lesson in finance
BY this same willy Joe.
That nigger's puzzling still his brains
10 find out how twas done;
He tries to figure out his gains,
The answers always "none"
So, Joe, you better now beware:
Don't count the niger a fool
He's learned there may be pulling of
hair
As well as pulling of wool.
The bird of prey has had his day,
And now the public good
Requires that Joe shall cease to prey,
This falcon needs IL Hood"
SO, Joe, you'd better now repent;
Smooth out that hawk-like face
You've got so used to niger scent
You hardly know your race.

LAUREL HILL RALLY.

Laurel Hill, Sept. 10.-(SpeciaL)-The
white mans rally at Laurel Hill church
to-day completed the the preliminary
campaign in Richmond county
II was the last of five great gather
ings of the white men and women OF
Richmond county. 1t was a great day
In one of the most fertile sections of the
South. inhabited by great and brave
white population who are governed 10y
negroes the people poured out to hear
and cheer those who are fighting Tor
their redemption. Fifteen hundred men
and women were present.
The meeting was opened by an elo-
quent prayer by Rev. Il. ii. Walters.
Then a great choir of ladies and gen-
tlemen sang The Old North State,
after which the Hon. w. Ii. Nealy
made n short and powerful plea for
a restoration of decency in our govern
mental affairs and closed with grace
full introduction of the Hon. +. A. Wood
ard. Mr. Woodard's speech was one Of
the greatest of the campaign.
Chairman Morrison, who presided at
the meeting, pronounced it one of the
greatest arguments he ever heard. For
an hour and forty minutes Mr.. Woodland
spoke powerfully and eloquently TO the
people.
In concluding, his appeal to the white
people to lay aside the bitterness and
contentious of the past ana unite to pre-
serve their civilization was irresistible.
We had heard he was logician and
debater, but his speech to-day exhibited
him as an orator with power to stir the
very hearts of brave people.
Mr.. Simmons ought to send him with
Jarvis and Aycock to plead our cause to
our Western brothers.
After a splendid dinner had been serv-
ed to the crowd the county candidates
all spoke. Their speeches were much
enjoyed Mr.. John ID. Shaw. Jr., was
the last speaker. He has only made
two or three political speeches. but the
writer prophesies great distinction for
him as n campaigner. He made a tell
ing speech and will make many more in
the campaign.
