A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face. Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure

Face. Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Ely
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had heipd her was
Hoods Sarsapariila. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very After giving
him four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and il has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

Whenever the campaign of the White
Men in the east promises to give re-
demption and peace and a return of
honest government to the people, there
is a black radical movement to invoke
the services Of the supreme court to
help to put down the white men and
keep back the deliverance. But the
White Men will not be estopped in this
way and kept in negro straight-jackets.

A MISLEADING STATEMENT.


Of LIST inst, from the Boston Herald.
the largest circulated newspaper in
New England, and Independent repub-
lican, We think, there is a misleading
statement 1t begins in this wise:
North Carolina comes near being
the state Of the south which has most
anti-southern leanings. The southern
a~ristocracy of the ante-war period was
less dominant there than anywhere
else in that section, and during the
rebellion the state was the first to
speak put through its public men, as
the contest drew toward its close,
against it's continuance"
That is misleading. 1t is not true
hat North Carolina has most anti
southern leanings" only so far as il has
more mean, low down whites possibly
than any other of the southern sister
hood. But of that we are not assured.
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, West
Virginia, Missouri and possibly one
other state, have about the same type
and character of whites with the "anti-
southern leanings." In the great wal
grieved and accursed with traitors and
enemies. 1t is a fact that over 900, 900
white traitors fought with the north
and against the south, and over 100,-
900 blacks Joined them. The War
Records" of the United States govern
ment show this.
North Carolina had some tough
scOundrels in the whose lust
for office was consuming. William W.
Holden was one of these and he indeed
tried to lead in the war a revolt against
the active, vigorous, patriotic Vance
government. His newspaper office at
Raleigh was destroyed, and he fed to
save his own unworthy life. The north
through certain agents sought to allure
North Carolina to it's destruction, and
Holden was the chief instrument
sought to start the movement and bring
it to a successful issue. But he failed
like Otnor ScOuQOr6lS Idll6U.
After the war he was rewarded by
the republican administration at Wash
ington for his treachery, and made pro-
visional governor. Later on he was
tried for high crimes and misdemean-
ors and broken of his office and for
ever debarred from holding office in
North Carolina. A most justly de-
served sentence.
Let it be remembered always and
by every body that North Carolina
1. Sem more troops, and by many
thousands into the war than any state
in the south.
2. That she voted but 112, 500 whites !
1850, the last election held before
the war, and she had 126, 5000 bona fide |
soldiers in the service.
8. Governor Vance had the Roster |
of her troops made out during the war. |
This Roster has been published in !
large volumes by the state.
4. The United States War Records
show that Al, 900 of those 126, 900 troops
perished-some 5000 in battle or
from wounds, and some $4,000 died
rom sickness. |
5. That she surrendered more troops |
1t AppomattoX than any other state
surrendered.

It is not often that two gifted sons

Both sides are claiming heavily. We
| feel now well assured that the White
Men will win on next Tuesday. The
elements seem propitious. The reports
from all about ring cheeringly. The
leaders are confident. Joy and hope
and courage fill and stir the hearts of
the White Men. 1t is a great struggle
for liberty and independence. The
wrongs and expressions of 1898, under
Russell rule are by far much greater,
more unb~earable. more Infamous and
crushing than those our ancestors had
to bear when the White Men of old
Mecklenburg issued their Declaration
of Independence, and patriots in many
counties took action in behalf Of their
rights. Press on the fight unremit-
tingly, bravely, determinately until
victory comes and crowns your grand
efforts amid mighty rejoicings.
The great parade at Laurinburg was
truly inspiring and presages victory
and deliverance. Let the White men
bestir themselves night and day. But
five days before battle must be deliv-
cred. Be ready. Let the rising of the
great White Race come in mighty
power
Come as the winds come when forests
are rended,
Come as the waves come when navies
are stranded"
Let them come in the might and
majesty of meu born free and of the
Aryan stock, the great, invincible race
subduers and the wise and patient and
successful builders of nations, and
creators of civilization and the liberty
of the soul and the manhood.
Think Of Sly Thompson, one Aver,
and a fellow named Lloyd daring to
fix a piebald ticket-fusion run mad
Edgecombe county. 1t is a pos
tive insult to every decent White Man
in that superb county. Well, what will
trio of the dilapidated do next?

A SLUMBER SONG

Baby, you stand by gate that leads Into land of dream; There's a drowsy watchman here
 who needs
 Never the struggling gleams Of light that stray from the far-off Always for him it's twinkling begun
 And we stand by the gate,
 And watch and wait,
 And watch-and wait! Little one, hear what the stream sings of
 Here in this quiet land; It sings of the joy of mother love Sings to the birds in the sand To the strange, tall birds, with
 dreamy eyes, That look at you dear in nut: sur
 prise,
 While we stand by the gate,
 And watch and wait,
 And Watch-and wait! If you open the gate no one will know; The guard will never guess. You must open it gently, slowly-so! No one has heard, unless Those dreamful birds, or the dream land sheep, Heard you stealing through their land of sleep While I stood by the gate. To watch and wait. i And watch-and wait! Oh, strange are the birds and the sheep that dwell
 Here, in the land of dreams! But you must not see, and you must not tell.
 However strange it seems, l Or they'll never let you in again, And it would not please you, baby l then, l Just to stand by the gate, l And watch and wait, 1 And Watch-and wait Meredith Nicholson.

body again, and the strange smile on the dead mans facei But there was no Eelp for it. He must do what he could towards bringing the criminal to jus tice.
 The atmosphere of Strong's room was so close that Whidby could hardly breathe, and the perfume from the con servatory sickened him. The coroner and his jury had arrived. Indeed, they seemed to be waiting for him. He sat down near a window. He wondered what they would ask him, and if he could make intelligent replies.
 Tine coroner opened the proceedings with few words to the jury. and Whid by thought they stared at him furtively whenever his name was mentioned. Then his testimony was called for, and Whidly felt that he was repeating word for word the account he had given Hen dricks short while before.
 The detective rose next and told in careful detail how the police had been called to the telephone by Whidby and first informed of the murder; how the young man had met him and Welsh at the door, and what was said about whether the door was locked. He spoke of the blood stain on Whidby's hand and produced the cuff with the drop of blood on it. It was his opinion, he said, that the cuff could not have been worn at the time it received the drop, nor for at least half an hour afterwards, for, as the jury could see, the blood had dried in such shape as to prove that it had remained motionless for some tir,A Mr Wlr-1l- had said that the shirt with the cuff attached had lain on chair near his bed all night.
 Then the coroner called for Whidby's rightshirt, and the jury passed it from one to the other and examined it care fully. At that moment Whidby rose to call attention to the blood on the DOT tiere and on the corner of the sheet, which he thought Hendricks and Capt Welsh had forgotten to mention, but the coroner ordered him, rather coldly, to sit down.
 Matthews was next called, but he could testify to nothing except that he slept in the cottage behind the house and had not walked during the night Then the coroner requested Whidby and Matthews to leave the room, and Whidby went into the library across the hall and closed the door behind him.
 He sat down and tried to collect his thoughts, bu5 | as impossible. Half an hocT went Dy. ---E-,rd the jary t1l-nlI through the hall, cross the veranda and go out at the gate. Then Matthews rapped on the door.

 ''Use your judgment; engage one of them. I can't attend to it." Whidby called to the old man as he was closing the door. What was the verdict of the jury?" he asked.
 Met his death by the hard of some person unknown, sir. They called me back to open the windows, and stayed"
 "Ah, you remained in there?'
 Matthews opened the door little wider and stood in the opening. Your name came pl mighty often, sir, after you went out.''
 My name? What did they say about me?"
 T didn't catch it all, sir, but the de tective mentioned the stain on your hand and said :t no doubt came from the sheet or from the curtain between the rooms. He said your explanation satisfied him, and that he did not be- lieve d guilty man would wait for the police to come before he washed his hands and then do it right before 'en.

 Why, masters will, sir. They must "a opened his desk an got into his pri- yate papers, for they said there was a will maxim you heir to all the property. They seemed to think there was motive enough, but they couldn't fasten tt on sou.''
 What else did you hear, Matthews2" Whidby had turned pale, and was twist ing his handkerchief tightly in his hands If one is to be suspected of murdering ones nearest relative in cold blood, it is a substantial comfort to know that there is not enough evidence to convict. Did you hear anything else?"
 "Nothin' important, sir. There was a good deal said about report that master was thinkin' about gettin' mar ried, and that he would likely alter his will if he did. Mir. Buckingham men toned that it had lS-n talked of at the Club, but that you had laughed at the report.

The detective had followed Whidby no further than the portiere, where he stood indiiferently watching the young mans movements.
 "Yes, from the sheet or this curtain, '' he replied, pointing to an almost in- visible spot of blood on the portiere.
 ''Then the fellow must have been in my room, too," said Nhidby, wonder ingly.
 And just after the deed was done, g Hendricks remarked.
 The young man stared at the detect i've curiously as he returned to the washstand and took off his coat. ''Look," he cried to him, ''here is some of it on my cuff.'
 'sI noticed tha,," replied the detect i've. 'It is a drop of blood. Perhaps you had better detach the cuff and give it to me. You did not sleep in that shirt?'
 ''No." Whidby gave him the cuff.
 ''Where did you lay the shirt last night when you took it Off?'
 ''On that chair near my bed," an swered Whidby.
 ''That is all you can do for us," said Hendricks. You'd better go to break fast"
 Whidby crossed the street and en- tered the restaurant on the corner. He took a seat at the table farthest from the door and rdered some eggs, coffee, rolls and butter; but he found that he had TO appetite, and he drank his cof- fee when it was so hot that it burnt his lips. Then he bought newspaper and sat for ten minutes gazing at it ab- sently.
 On his return home he found the yard filled with a crowd of curious people. Some of them stood on the veranda near the windows. The door was closed. Whidby tried the knob. but it was locked. Turning, he saw Matthews com ing round the corner of the house.

To pickle olives for immediate use can successfully be done by almost any one, but to cure and pickle them for the market in a commercial sense, is one of the vital subjects before the fruit growers of California.
 The relationship existing between the producing of an olive and the picking of the same are so closely all lied that no one can diligently speak or write on the subject of the one without referring to the other.
