show man the way to long and healthy
life
Common sense teaches that a man should
not overwork or over worry; that he should
take ample time for his meals for resting
and for recreation and sleep; that he should
not neglect the little ills of life, because
they are the precursors of serious and fatal
maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to
make combinations of drugs that were inn
possible in the days of the alchemists.
Medical science has taught when. how and
why these combinations of drugs should
be used. DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery is the most valuable of all health
restoring medicines and the most effective.
Its FIRST work is upon the fountain head of
hfe-the stomach. A man who has weak
and impaired stomach and who does not
properly digest his food will soon find that
his blood has become weak and Empower
tshed, and that his whole body is improp-
erly and insufhciently nourished. This
medicine makes the stomach strong, facil-
itates the flow of digestive juices, restores
the lost appetite, makes assimilation per
feet, inyigorates the liver and purifes and
enriches the blood. 1t is the great blood
maker, flesh builder and nerve tonic. 1t
makes men strong in body, active in mind
and cool in Judgment.
1t does not make flabby fat, but solid,
muscular flesh nerve force and vital en-
ergy. All medicine dealers sell 1t.

Yes. Very Funny.

Raleigh Post.
The proposition to appoint Gov
ernor Russell one of the commission
ers to settle the terms of peace be
tween this government and Spain
must be either a joke, or d shrewd
movement of the Republican party
under Senator Pritchard the
acknowledged leader of the party in
North Carolina" and the Dockerys
to shelve him and get him out of his
present job. However serious the
leaders may be in their desire to IN
load him, the idea of his being on a
peace commission il the hugest joke
of the season. Why, he would smash
all the china in the Spanish kitchen
in a week. and give Weyler several
points on how to run his country to
ballyhack. 1t is funny, that eugges
ton, isn't it?

the Democratic party. In some
counties they have taken part in the

perpetuate negro rule and govern

boas are to be worn in the winter.
Red in the brighter shades is to be

For the handsome winter tailor
gowns cloth will be accorded first

Entire gowns of ribbon, for even

The new shades OF gray are beauti-
fully exemplified in the material

foreign appellation, "taupinette. :"
1t is a lightweight cloth with a

Braided plastrons will be in vogue

The favorite frock for the debutante

of narrow satin or gauza ribbon.
Artistic wool crepons in black and

very dressy.
1t is thought that low crowns will
be in vogue for fall hats and bonnets,
also rather broad trimmings. Osprey

Lavender-blue is a favorite shade
for evening chapeaux. In velvet it is
exceedingly fetching, and it is to be
combined with chinchilla fur for

Cheap Food for Cuba and Porto Rico

Cheap Food for Cuba and Porto Rico.
Philadelphia Press.
American occupation in Cuba and
Porto Rico, as fast as it is advanced,
brings cheap food under the new
tariff imposed by a general order
from Washington. This cuts down
the heavy duties laid on wheat and
-four by Spain and brings the cost of
breadstuffs and provisions to the
price of the rest of the civilized
world. No tax which Spain has
levied has been as heavy as the in
direct tax imposed by a tariff which
nearly doubled the cost of food p
these islands.

In view of recent occurrences, the
correspondence etween the Chief
Executive of the State and his own

of Directors OF the Penitentiary, is as
discreditable IA anything that has
preceded it. 1t is equivalent to a
confession of weakness and incapaci-

and in compelling the proper observ-
ance of plain law by his own subordi-

The Paris Peace Commission May
Cost a Million

Washington Times.
Although peace com missions are
by no means as costly as war they
come pretty high.
An official in the State Department.
has been making an estimate as to
the probable expense of the Paris
commission, and he runs it up very
close to - million dollars.
The salaries OF members will alone
make a very large item OF expense.
The amount is not fixed by law, and
a special appropriation will be neces-
sary when Congress meets.
Precedent demands hberality in
the treatment of special plenipoten-
tiaries. Their compensation will
probably consist of a lump sum, and
according to the State Department
statistician referred to, it will not be
less than $25 900 each. Besides, all
their personal expenses will be de-
trayed by the Government.

were one horse and other one two

were loaded with about 200 gallons of
straight moonshine whiskey. Several
men were along with the wagons, but
they ran off and left the wagons in the
hands of the officers. The officers did
not know any of the parties. The
whiskey was hauled to Rockford and
shipped to Winston for safe keeping.
