Cavalry Brig AIDES.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 22.-(Spe-
cial.)--With the announcement this
morning of the decision of the War De
partment to send two brigades of regular
cavalry to Cuba, under command of
General Wheeler, the idea that the men
would be modified at Montauk before
proceeding to Huntsville, Ala. caused
much criticism. That these troops will
be among the first to go to Cuba there
is no longer any doubt, and it is equally
certain that they will be in company
with the Seventh Army Corps, under
the command of General Fitzhugh Lee
The routes by which the regulars are to
be moved from the West to the South,
will take them first to Montauk, and this
is what called forth the criticism, as it
appears to be Il scheme in favor of GER
tain railroads in New York.
Following the announcement that all
of the division camps might be aban-
doned, came the statement that the
camp at Jacksonville would in all proba-
bility soon be vacated. and the men now
encamped there moved 10 some new site
TO be selected near Huntsville. The re-
port was credited in some quarters but
from the best sources | get the informa
ton that the Seventh Army Corps will
remain at Jacksonville. Fla, until Gen
eral Lee is ordered to take his men to
Cuba, and such an order, it is thought,
will be issued within the next three
weeks some think the army of occupa-
ton will be moving by the 10Th of De-
tober, and few doubt that the movement
will begin before the first of November
An official at the War Department,
said to me late last night that all of the

PECULIAR POlSONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
It is the Result Of imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

1t is the Result Of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death called by scientists Ptom-
aines), are usually the result of imper-
feet digestion of food; the result of in
digestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sOdden
mass which ferments (the first process
of decay poisoning the blood, making
it thin, weak, and lacking in red cor
puscles; poisoning the brain causing
headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion initiates the heart, caus-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley.
said the best start in life is n sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food property. because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
(lactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products: the most sensible remedy in
all cases of digestion, is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in "A
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use Of STARTS Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood.
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion. because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested

pepsia Tablets at so cents full sized

AROUSED TO WHITE HEAT
DEMOCRATS OF HALIFAX GRID THEM
SELVES FOR THE CONFLICT.
Perfect Unity in the Convention. Old Foes Re-
united in the Bonds of;Amity. Pop
u'ists Returning Home.

Scotland Neck, n. c., Sept. 22.--(Spe-
cial)-The Democratic party has not
been so aroused, perhaps, in twenty
years The outragcs and scandals of the
present State administration have com
pletely Disguised the best Populsts in
Eastern North Carolina and there will
be united efforts I'LL along the line to
redeem the State from the disgraceful
predicament in which it has been placed,
through fusion and Republican in
tluences.
In the Democratic convention in Hall
fax county, there was perfect
unity in opinion and expressions,
a thing (which has not been seen in Il
Democratic convention here in IL dozen
years, perhaps Populists who have
been active against the Democratic par
ty. stood up and declared their return
and loyalty to Democracy.
Capt. t.. \. Thoruc, who has acted
with the Populists. made speech in
which he declared that he had held no
position which he did not think was for
the best interests of the people but now
he sees no hope for North Carolina, eX-
cept in and through the Democratic
party He called upon all men with
one drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in them
to rally around the Democratic stand
ard
The declaration was made in the con-
vention that most of the Populists in
the western part of the county are com
ing back.
George III. White. the colored Con
gresham from this district. tells the ne
groes that. inasmuch as he is the only
negro Congressman in the United States,
the cry of the white people about negro
domination is an empty sound He
fails to mention the fact that every
poStoffice in Halifax county, of any inn
portance, except Enfield, is in the hands
of the negroes.
The people of Eastern North Carolina
will certainly do their best in the COM
ing election for Democratic victory and
white supremacy; and if middle and
Western North Carolina will work rs
the Democrats and white men in the east
are working, no power can prevent a
victory.
The tobacco market. which opened
here August 18th, has done much better

RALEIGH n @ Snnt 1nth Il

Raleigh N. c., Sept. 10th, 1898.
To all Consignors and Consignees of
Freight:
Serious loss and much inconvenience
has been caused both to the shippers
and railroad companies, by the unneces-
sary detention of cars in loading and I'M
loading freight. Shippers are often un-
able to procure cars, tracks are encum-
bered, and the speedy movement of
freight is impossible under the practice
that has prevailed. The railroad com
panies are obliged to correct this evil.
and have issued the notice printed be
low.
The system thus established has been
in successful operation in nearly all of
the States in this country during many
years, and with advantageous results to
the public, as well as TO the railroads
The amount charged is not sufficient to
compensate the railroads for use of their
cars and tracks for warehouse purposes
and is not collected for the purpose of
revenue, but for the prevention of the
detention of cars, which affects both the
public and the transportation lines. The
rules will be enforced without discrimi-
nation by the North Carolina Car Ser
vice Association, which will act for all
interests alike.
