Answering question, the general stated
positively that, while he did not know the
heart of the American people perhaps, he
did know that of the English from the very
lowest dregs up. and there was no feeling
In that heart for the people of this conti-
nent but one of amity, a desire for peace,
and universal hope that arbitration
should be definitely settled upon. He said
as frankly that he knew nothing of the
rights and wrongs Of the Cuban or Span

ley and he had become convinced that the
conditions existing In American elites were
Just those that the Salvation army could

WHY NOIA HAY DAY HERE

The farmers in some parts OF
Georgia have inaugurated a most
admirable custom of what they
call CLAY Day" On such occas-
ions the farmers gather together
at a given point, in some live
town, and make an exhibit of hay
that has been grown on their
premises. CLAY Day.. was re-
Gently observed in Albany, Ga,
and a correspondent writing from
that point says that the hay ex-
hibited was such as to bring pride
to every South Georgian's heart,
and in point of excellence, was be-
yond comparison with the West
ern article. Premiums were Of
fered and given for the best exhi-
bit, and there were other features
of the show which made it attrac-
tive.
The object Of these exhibitions
is, as will be readily inferred, to
stimulate the farmers of that Sec
ton to produce their own hay in
stead Of buying the product of
some Western farmer. There is
the true secret of successful farm
ing. The farmer cannot afford to
buy from another farmer what he
can just as well produce on his
own farm. ebay Day in Geor-
gia is a great institution, and we
would like to see such a day
inaugurated in Goldsboro.

Whiskey In Cherokee.

Murphy Scout.
From time to time The Stroller
has heard some citizens give ex-
pressions to our thoughts when
they would say that they desired
a stop put to the whiskey traffic
that is carried on in Murphy, and
we also would include Cherokee
county in the position. But when
a hint is given that the way to do
this is for us to have a dispensary,
we r unutterably and irrevoca-
bly, opposed to it. Dispensary is
only another word for barroom-
a grog shop, a grocery, doggery,
would sound just as we'll. 1t would
be best to let things rock along as
they are rather than to place
whiskey in a dispensary right un-
der the very noses of our boys.
No we don't want any apparatus
call it what you may--that will
sell whiskey, and fur thermore, we
are not going to have it. Let the
officers do their full duty in ar
resting these pedlers of vile whis-
key and let the courts properly
punish the offender and the prob
lem is almost solved.

A Beautiful Marriage at Fremont Yester

Isler, the charming aud popular
daughter of our good friend a. d
countyman Mr.. Wiley B. Fort.

The church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion and
was thronged with the numerous
friends of the contracting par
ties, many going up from this
city on the special chartered
train to witness the ceremony.
The following young gentle
men acted as ushers, and at the
appointed hour of the ceremony
preceded the bridal party to the

EdpertOn.
The groom's brother, Mr.. Il.
B. Parker, Jr., acted as best

sister, Miss Pearl Fort, wss
Maid of Honor.
Immediately after the ceremo-
ny the happy young couple took

Catarrh Can Be Cured

By graduating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures catarrh
promptly and permanently, because
it strikes at the root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which ii
makes, circulating through the deli
cate passages of the mucous mem
brane, soothes and rebuilds the It's
sues, giving them a tendency to
health instead of disease, and ulti-
mately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsa-
parilla strengthens, invigorates and
energies the whole system and
makes the debilitated victim of ca,
tarrh feel new life has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure ca
tarrh absolutely and surely by re-
moving the causes which produce it.

When the history of Paine's celery
compound is studied it is easily
understood why it's popularity
is so enormous. Paine's celery COM
pound is the world-famed discovery
of Prof. Edward Elisha Phelps, M.
D., LII. D., professor of materia
medica at Dartmouth college. Prof.
Phelps unusual talent quickly es-
tablished his reputation and promi-
nence among his professional breth-
rem.
He was fully alive to the dangers
attendant upon the American way
of living, and he sought diligently
for some cOmmOn-sense remedy that
would cure the common evils, which,
under one name and another, result
from an unhealthy state of the ner-
vous system. His labors were
crowned with glorious success, and
he gave to the medical profession
the celebrated remedy which has
won worldwide fame as Paine's
celery compound.

women in professional life, whether
