BLADDER TROUBLES.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for
the urine, and as such it is not liable
to any form of disease except by one
of two ways. The first way is from
imperfect action Of the kldeys.
The second way is from careless
local treatment of other diseases.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles: 1t is comforting to know
that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Rott full
fills every wish in quickly curing
bladder and urinary troubles. 1t
corrects frequent calls, inability to
hold urine and scalding or singing
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use Of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to get up
many times during night to urinate
The mild and extraordinary effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon re-
allied. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. At drug

Gov. Russell and the Railroad Commits

Gov. Russell and the Railroad Commits
Patron and Cleaner.
We have all the while believed the
Governor did his sworn duty in dis
missing the two Wilson's, and now We
are confirmed in that belief by u deci-
sion of the highest court in the State,
four Of the five judges cOncurring.
Captain X. 3. PEBBLES and Hon. Mar
ION Butler, both members of the I.egis-
lature Of 1891, were the authors of that
section of the law under which Gov
ernor Russell acted in suspending the
Wilson's. 1t provided that whenever q
commissioner should become inter
ested. directly or indirectly, in any
railroad property, the Governor should
suspend such commissioner and ap-
point his successor who should hold
office until the next meeting of the
legislature. We never heard the wis
dom of that section of the law brought
into question until recently.
That the Railroad Commission un-
der the administration of the two Will
sons was fast becoming mere farce
is generally admitted. They would
decide question of great public inter-
est today and rescind their own order
tomorrow. One week they would de-
eide question affecting the interests
of large number Of people a:e..ct hear
ing all the evidence and after mature
consideration, and the next week Sc
cretly, without notice to the people in
terested or counsel. reverse their own

Warning to Southern Farmers.

The season seems to be prolific in
new and wonderful plants of various
kinds coupled with stirring tales of
enormous crops sold at large profits.
A word OF caution is due concerning
a wonderful variety of cotton which,
reports say, will revolutionize the
raising of that useful commodity.
The variety has turned out to be an
old sort and, as if that were
not bad enough, it is one of the least
prolific of all the well-known varie-
ties. AS rule, it is safe to apply to
the director of your State expert
ment station for information regard
ing so-called new varieties of any
plant. He is occupying his position
partially for your benefit, so do moi
hesitate to call on him for any de-
sired information.

State Secretary Hoover Present at the
Meeting and Makes Splendid Address
Also has 5 smples of the Alliance Shoe
Factory.
The first quarterly meeting in 1898
of the Farmers Alliance of Wake
county, was held in the mayors office
in Raleigh at noon Thursday. Each
Alliance in the county was represented
by one or two delegates. About 40
members were present.
President w. b. Upchurch presided
and l.. n. Rains was secretary. The
meeting was we'll attended and the
order was reported in an improved
condition.
A resolution that the annual picnic
at the A. d M. College be made perm
anent was adopted and the matter left
in the hands of the Executive Com
mittee. The picnic will be held on
the second Thursday in august, and
all the farmers and business men Of
the county is invited.
St, tie Secretary j. Il. 3. Hoover was
present and addressed the Alliance.
He brought samples of shoes from the
Alliance shoe factory at HillsbOrO. A
pair of those shoes was purchased by
is the best So 90 shoe he ever saw.
The Alliance elected Prof. Ben amin
Irby county business agent. He was
instructed to visit Hillsboro and Dur
ham, together with the President of
the Alliance, and arrange for the
purchase of the fertilizers to be used
by members of the order next spring.
Resolutions were introduced and
adopted thanking Mayor Russ for Civ
ing the Alliance the use of his office.
The Alliance adjCurned to meet the
second Tuesday Ill February.
The month from now to the Febru-
airy meeting is to be devoted to earnest
work by the membership to revive, and
rebuild the order in the county. Every
member, old and young, male and fe-
male, is earnestly urged to spend this
month in Jealous, conscientious work
for the cause. Forgetting as far as
possible the errors of the past, let all
who are eligible be brought together,
old subs reOrganized, and let ali come
to the February meeting and come pre-
pared to encourage the enterprises in
which we are all interested-the State
Business Agency and the Shoe Fac
tory. Let us take no more notice of
partisan politics in this work than we
would in q revival in our church work.
Let the farmers get together, pull to-
getber and stand together, or they will
surely fall together and be ruined to-
gether. We all know the principles.
Will we put them in practice? If the
farmers cannot be held together in
the Alliance then hope is lost. A full
| line of sample shoes Will be on hand
at February county meeting, and it is
to be hoped that arrangements will be
made to keep a stock on hand for the
convenience of the brethren in this
| county.

JUDGE ROBINSON At DURHAM.

Ever Delivered Is the General Verdict of

In speaking of Judge Robnson's
charge to the grand jury the Durham
Herald says:
"Ue also called attention to the law
prohibiting railroads from giving free
passes to anybody but employees and
told the jury if they knew of such to
promptly present the railroad COM
pany. His description of the average
member of the legislature and his
helplessness in the hands of the lob
byist was a gem, and we regret we can
not publish it in full.
"Eor one hour and a quarter His
Honor held the undivided attention of
jury, bar and spectators. The charge
was replete with humor and wit and
was a very clear exposition of those
portions of the law he undertook to
explain"
Mr.. Douglas, of the Raleigh bar, who
was present when Judg Robinson de-
hvered the charge, stated to The eau
CAsIAN that in all his experience he had
never heard its equal, and that the en-
tire Durham bar expressed the highest
