Can you find a more despicable
character than the slanderer He is
the pestilential vapor in healthy at
mosphere-a curse in the midst of
blessngs-the serpent in paradise-the
devil among angles How many good,
kind people have been infected by his
foul breath; how many pure reputa-
tations have been rendered question
able by his dark insinuations and dia-
bolical innuendoes? If there is be-
ing crawling on earth's surface who
deserves the scorn, derision and con-
tempt of mankind, it is the slanderer.
Who does not loath and despise him ?
Like the midnight assassin, he stabs in
the dark and makes ship-wreck of that
which is dearer to you than life.-Ex.

Priceless Pain

"If price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend is worth its weight in gold as allevi-
ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than She did al
four bottles of Mothers Friend 1t is blessing
to any one expecting to become a mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
OF Car1ni, H., to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective i'll adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shortcns labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
" Mothers Friend " is sold by druggists

An exchange very truthfully says:
'It is great mistake for an advertiser
to cut down or discontinue his space
when business is little slow. People
read the paper more thoroughly in dull
times and, even though they do not
buy as much, they are constantly think
ing of some article they need to pur-
chase when money is more plentiful
If they have been used to seeing your
ad and you drop it, they will naturally
think that you have gone out of the
business or that something else as bad
had occurred and some competitor who
is sharp enough to keep his ad in, or
who increases his space, will get the
benefit of what you have done. Keep
everlastingly at it's good maxim to
go by"

who laid the latter before General
Wood. commander of the military de-
pnrtment of Santiago.
General Perez was at once Informed
that IL the man was executed he and

CAMPAIGN IN THE SOUTH.
Color Line Sharply Drawn In North Caro-
lima Cities.

Washington, d. G., Nov. 4.-The As.
sociated Press has received the follow
ing signed statement on the political
situation in North Carolina from the
editors of several of the leading pa
pers In the state:
Raleigh, n. C., Nov 1.-The political
tension is such MS has not been known
In North Carolina since 1876.
In Eastern North Carolina, where the
political division is along race lines,
the white people are aroused to point
where they will use every lawful
means TO restore white supremacy.
There has been no disturbance, ex-
cept at three places. and there is no
apprehension felt except in two or
three counties where the contest is hot
test, and even there the conversation
OF the people probably will avert any
trouble. In Wilmington the Demo-
Gratis pay 95 per cent. of the taxes in
that city and have no voice in public
affairs.
The condition is so intolerable that
the business men of all parties have
advised that the white mems ticket be
elected without opposition. The Re-
publicans of New Hanover agreed to
this. and there will be only one ticket
In that county.
Thousands of people have returned
to the Democratic party and hundreds
of Republicans will vote with the Dem
ocrats on local tickets. The campaign
has resolved itself more into fight for
white rule and protection TO every par.
ty than one of political divisions, and
the democratic victory, il seems now
Will be won by the aid of the best ele
ment In the Republican and Populist
parties.
Nearly all the men of these parties
with large property interests will vote
with the Democrats.
