A business man is not the most patient
creature in the world He cannot wait to
hear any long drawn-out story of the cause
OF his ailment. He doesn't care two straw &
about fine spun theory of how he should
treat himself. He may be predisposed to
scrOfula or consumption. THAT" he will
tell you, has nothing to do with the case. ;"
He wants to be we'll If he can be cured,
write out a prescription and send in your
bill. So, here's the first part OF the propo-
sition.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
mierobe hunter and killer. Many pei
sons of scrofulous blood, encourage the
breaking out of unsightly sores, to prevent
the disease going to the lungs. There is
no need OF this state of dread and discom-
fort. Purify the blood. 1t can be done.
Golden Medical Discovery" will cure 9s

Rocky Mount-Otey in Charlotte

Stump

PULASKI, VA, October =. -(special)-
There was a joint discussion here to-day
(County-Court day. between Rhea and
Walker, Democratic and Republican con-
gressional candidates, respectively. Walk
er led off in one hour and forty
minutes speech. Rhea followed in same
time. Then came Walker In thirty min
utes and Rhea in thirty minutes. IN
his first speech General Walker discussez
the tariff and the currency, saying that
politics meant the greatest good TO the
country and to each voter. and each voter
should consult his personal interests In
voting. That was practical politics, not
sentiment. He made a strong speech for
his side. General Walker had been in
troduced by II. Peyton Gray in three
minutes speech. Rhea was given
rousing reception by the Democrats. He
discussed ably the issues of the day, es-
pecially the currency question and the
war. He dissected Walkers political re-
cord elaborately and severely, including
his application for pardon after the war
and the admissions therein. Rheas
speech was powerful and received the
loud applause of the Democrats Walker.
in his reply stated that Rhea's discussion
OF his record was not political, but an
insulting attack upon him person
ally, under the guise Of politics. and
he would reply accordingly, and discuss
Rhea's record and personal character.
which he did In an abusive manner. Sew
eral times Rhea arose and pronounced
the charges repeated by Walker, "a lie"
especially the one that he had ever been
a goldbug. Walker ordered Rhea not to
interrupt him, but to sit down, which
Rhea refused to do, ana a personal en-
Z counter seemed imminent. But cooler
men on both sides interfered, and order
was restored.
Rhea in his reply met Walkers charges
against him, and replied in kind in the
severest manner. He asked all who in
tended TO vote for him to hold up their
hands. A great many hands went up.
Walker asked the same. Decidedly a
smaller number went up. The Demo
Gratis claim great victory to-day, which
the Republicans do not concede.

hearty responses from the South when
the war broke out, and concluded with
The statement that If the elimination OF

He also spoke Of the evident content

Senator John ". Daniel addressed the
largest crowd that has assembled here
for years in a speech OF more than two
hours duration. in which he discussed
the political issues OF the day In calm
and dispassionate but eloquent, manner.
The crowd increased as his speech pro-
crossed until the court square was filled
ne far as his voice would reach. His
speech has solidihed the Democrats OF
the county almost to man, and the best
elements of the Populist party declared
nublicly their purpose of supporting Rep
resantatiye Swanson. The people here
idolize our Senator, and striking illus
tration OF this fact was that he was at
least an hour after speaking. in reaching
his temporary home by reason OF hand
shaking and congratulations OF enthusi-
astic friends. The Senator was intro

Yost opened the debate. and was followed

tives Of the opposing party, and, as many
thought. scored a victory over his oppo-
nents There was no great show OF en-

LAMB AND RIXEY.
They Open the Campaign In Prince
william County.

MANASSAS, VA, October 3.-(Special)
This was Prince William County-Court
day and the attendance was very large,
considering the unfavorable weather.
About o'clock the people began to as
semble in the courthouse, at which time
the Democratic campaign In the county
was opened. Ex-Congressman r. f..
Meredith, of this county. introduced Con-
gresham Lamb, of Richmond, who was
received with applause. Captain Lamb
spoke for about an hour and a half, ard
his speech was a clear, forcible, and loei-
cal presentation of the Democratic prin-
ciDles.
He began his address by paying a high
tribute 10 the honesty, fidelity, and eii-
cheney Of Congressman RiXey. He de-
voted a portion of his time TO the tariff
question, which, he claimed, was not the
paramount issue In the present campaign.
The great question that confronted the
people now, was, he said, the currency,
and il would remain the burning question
until settled and settled right The
speaker was very severe on the financial
legislation OF the Republican party. He
denounced in the strongest terms the
single gold standard theory, and advo-
Gated strict adherence 10 the Chicago
platform. He also discussed the bond
question in a very masterful way. His
arraignment Of the Republican party in
the last Congress was terrific. He closed
by thanking the audience for their Kind
attention.
Congressman Lamb made fine impress
sion upon his hearers, and aroused much
enthusiasm.
MIR Meredith introduced Congressman
Rixev and said that he was a man We
should be proud of.
Mr.. Rlxey spoke for very short time
only and his remarks were devoted to
the financial question. He analyzed this
question In a plain, practical and matter
of-fact way. and had the entire atten-
zion of his audience. He closed by say
ing if he had opposition he would speak
nere on the first Monday in November.
