Friday evening was not as large as
usual but what was lacking in num-
bers was more than made up in inter-
est.
The singing by Mr.. Miller, so ex-

by the large choir served better than
ever.
Evangelist Potter spoke eloquently
on ''The Last Judgment" and many
went forward to the altar, The meet

Bottled Up!.

Whether i'll the form of pill powder
Or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession OF the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair o.
crutches. Then comes falling o.
the hair and decay of the bones,-a con
dition truly horrible.

Do Not Give Up in De.
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those SO unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, and is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons

Several years ago my wife had an

Fever Heat

Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 5-The political
tension Is such as has not been known
in North Carolina since 1875. In east
ern North Carolina, where the political
division is along race lines the white
people are aroused to point where
they will use every lawful means to
restore white supremacy. There has
been no disturbance. except at three
places, and there is no apprehension
felt except in two or three counties
where the contest is hottest, and even
there the conservatism Of the people
probably will avert trouble.
A special from Newborn, Craven
county, says that mass meeting Of
the white men was held last night at
which the following, among other
resolutions, was adopted:
Resolved, That heuceforth oil white men
who vote and ally themselves with the negroes
In politics shall be regarded and denounced as
traitors to their race and country and as pub
lie enemies, and not to be associated with
A strong resolution was also adopted
declaring that preference should hence

labor whenever practicable.

1nsurgent Soldiers,

Washington, Nov. 5.-The following
letter from Lieut. Col. Carbonne, Of
the Cuban army, now at Havana, has

Of the Cuban delegation here, who has
laid it before Secretary Alger with an
urgent request that steps be taken TO
relieve the extreme distress it sets

date Havana, October 20:
| am just back from the camp OF Gen. Memo
cnl, chief OF our army In this province, and let
me tell you In some faint way the true state OF
our poor and suffering army ind the conse-
quenoes thut may come TO the country II we do
not find In short time remedy which will save
us The Cuban army Is dying OF hunger Such
terrible words In no way exaggerate the actual
conditions They do not get from Havana one
fourth OF what they need, and our soldiers are
dying at the gates OF the city for lack OF food.
What shall we doy The time will,come when
we cannot bear 1t any longer, and then what
will be the result! II by misfortune we are
driven by the necessities Of our army to get by
force what we need so as not to die Of hunger,
will the people Of the United States condemn
us, or will the nations OF the world. which do
not know what Is happening, Judge us unworthy
Of the sympathy OF the American people: We
were very happy to hear your assurances as TO
our republic We have never doubted the good
faith md generosity OF the United States To
1t we owe the complete liberty which we have
been unable in many years to establish by our
selves
Secretary Alger said he would look Id.
to the matter, and would telegraph the
commission at Havana such instruc.
tions as were appropriate to the case.

IAwT0N TESTIFIEs.
The General Gives ths Particulars OF tbs
Landing on ubsn Ground aud His
March to VI Csney.

Washington, Nov. h-Acting for the
war investigating commission, Col.
DENLY has taken the testimony OF Gen.
Lawton, who was in command Of the
Second division OF the Fifth corps in
the Santiago campaign and who has
but recently been relieved Of the com.
mand Of the department Of Santiago.
His narration began with the embark
alton Of the troops at Tampa. Speak
ing Of the voyage over he said the
transports we're furnished as we'll as
could be expected, as they were not
troopships. The medical commissary
supplies were sufficient to prevent alb.
solute discomfort. True, there was
some confusion, owing TO misunder-
standing Of orders, but the general
did not believe that any hardship had
been occasioned thereby.
After giving particulars Of the land
ing, Gen. Lawton described his march
TO Siboncy, referred to the battle Of
Guasimas and told how he pushed for
ward towards FL Caney and prepared
for the fight there. He said his divi.
sion had lost 40 men killed and
wounded and that all the wounded had
been accounted for. 1t was true as re.
ported, he said, that men had to wear
their shirts for possibly 80 days with
out change, but this was because they
had thrown away their extra clothing,
lie said the climate was responsible
for the sickness that followed the cam
paign though II was possible that
with more appropriate food, better
cooking and shelter some Of the sick.
ness might have been prevented.
Summing up, Gen. Lawton said:
Taking into consideration the condi-
tions that we were obliged to face, the
character Of the country, Its climate
and other things being considered, l
can say there we're no serious or gross
mistakes made. l can say there was
no lack Of care on the part Of any Of
those in authority, whose duty II was
to look after the interests OF the camp"

TIC THE PUBLIC: In organizing this
exhibition for the tenting season of 1898
the management have been prompted by
a desire to present to the public patron
age show which would have both the
characteristics of novelty and of in
trinsic excellence. There has been too
great d similarity of exhibitions under
canvas, and amusement patrons have
been called upon to pay for that which
they have seen so many times before;
the constant repetition has become
wearisOme and monotOnOus-the same
stale jokes of the clown and the same
general circus and menagerie features.
From all this we have made an entirely
new departure. 1t is not our purpose to
enumerate our large and varied COM
pany and attractions Ia this card. A
perusal of these pages will demonstrate
TO the reader that a single visit to the
Cooper & Co.'s great southern united
railroad shows more than realizes an at
tendance on all arenlc exhibitions ever
organized. Admission % and Is cents,
