ROMANCE or A DIAMOND.
Staying Of Many Men Due to Il
rOpc's Gem.


Pope Leo Ia the owner OF what is b.
lieyed 10 be the largest diamond in La
world. 1t has most romantic history,
says the London Mail. having been the
cause OF the assassination OF a king, nu-
merohs other crimes a1d of small war,
in wooh several thousand men were
Killed
Mamela, an aged South African negro,
has told Ute secret which links him in his
tory with Pope Leo. sn% President Dom
Paul Kruger Of the Trsnsvasl. 1t was
Meinela who owned the diamond for many
years. As en- act OF gratitude 10 Kruger
Tor freeing him, May years ago. from the
Boers. who had captured him, he gave him
this precious stone, which he had carried
concealed on his body through Strange and
terrible hardships and adventures.
For q century before that Ii had been a
sacred talisman of savage chlef0a!ns. It
belonged first TO Meshesh, the powerful
chief of the Basuto nation. who gave 1t as
friendly Offering TO the great king of the
zulus, Shaka. The envy IT excited in his
brother led to Shaka's assassination. Then
followed d long line of plotting and hid
eous crimes for its possession among rival
chiefs. White men, seeing 1t, finally at
tempted TO secure 1t, but failed, The ma
tive chiefs suspicious beng aroused, a
war against the whites WIS begun, which
resulted in the killing of 1000 Beers and
many times that number of blacks.
When many chiefs were dead Memela
came into power and got possession of the
wonderful gem. His capture, slavery and
escape. and the gift of the talisman TO
Kruger in gratitude complete the history
OF what is believed to be the largest and
most precious diamond in the world.

He has cost the State OF Texas great deal

as the irredeemable sot can hit the back

"Were a man of wealth or means |

TO this the Journal replied by deposit
ing $4,000 in a trust company to General
Eagan's credit TO pay special counsel
fees, stenographer's fees and costs of
prosecuting the Journal. 1t made only
one limitation upon the expenditure Of
the money, saying:

made only one additional stipulation
that none of it shall be used for the pay

tracted since. This is manifestIy rea-
sonable condition, for while the payment
of gambling debt is one of the most i'm

The profound and comprehensive inyes
legations of Prof. Edward +. Phelps the
discovcrer OF Paine's Celery Compound,
have robbed disease of much of its
alarming character.
Nature has provided in the liver a
safeguard without which every one
would die from the slightest imprudence
in diet The blood loaded with poisons
reaches the liver, the eXcrcting function
of that organ arrests them and they are
thrown back 10 the bowels. This is
the action of the healthy liver. but this
perpetual oyerwork at last does what
over-functional activity does for other or
gans-impairs or destroys their cXcreting
power and opens the door to Bright's
disease and diabetes. Painc's Celery
Compound enables the liver to work
without tearing itself to pieces. 1t sup
plies nervous energy to the organ and
prevents irritation. 1t pUrities the
blood and does not leave the whole puri-
flying task to one organ, whether liver
Kidney or bowels. 1t obyiajes the col
lapse of any of these organs, and pre-
vents disease.
I not only regulates the nervous
organization, but directly nourishes it;
sends more and better blood to supply the
wasted nervous tissues and takes the
killing strain from the kidneys

Additional Testimony as to the Merits Of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

\ gentleman remarked recently that
had a stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy had made the people would
have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose a case:
Eleven years ago | had child that
was delicate from birth. and for six
months she was under constant care Of
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble, which had
become chronic dysentery. She also
suffered from some aggravated blood
trouble, which caused large sores and
risingS to break ont on her body. OFT
time there would be as many as 20 or
-. We had several doctors to treat her
at different times, but nothing reached
her case They would lance these ris-
ings, but as soon as one was cured
another broke ont, and the doctors gave
me no hope of her cure. After she had
led life OF agony and suffering for six
months, ] was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in tWenty-fOur hours. it
seemed to check the bowels at once
and after using q few bottles my child
was entirely cured, and has never since
had any sign of the trouble, and is now
in perfect health y few years after
this had two sores to break out on my
ankle, and strange to say l did not
think of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. l
was under the treatment Of doctors for
three years, but the sores continued to
get worse until they had eaten to the
bone ! then thought of trying Mrs.
Joe Persons Wash, and did so, and it
is almost useless to say it soon made
Il cure
II wish | could speak so that every
man, woman and child in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that l might tell
them what Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine. / adj
vised one OF my friends who had been
n terrible sufferer for n long time, with
nurses sore mouth. She used the REM
cdy and Wash. and it soon made n cure.
Il have recommended it to ever 50
many of my friends. for Indigestion and
other ailments, and have never known
it to fail to cure yet. There is no medi-
cine equal to it.

Of the body and ore feels tired and de-
pressed, the use Of Paine's Celery Com
pound viii drive away the rheumatism
pain or the fit of Indigestion and correct
the failing appetite which keeps pace SO
closely with the digestive power.
Here is a heartfelt letter rs it was
written on December 18th last by Mrs.
William Nelson, who is cashier of the
Central Relief C0mmitte of Chicago:
"Genhamen:-I have used Paiae's Gel
cry Compound several times for the past
two years for liver and kidney trouble.
I have swclied up and felt sick and bad.
The Doctors medicines never helped me,
but Painc's Celery Compound always
did. There is nothing like it. 1t is
splendid"
Nerve tension is disguised under Il
good many symptoms that induce
thOughtless people to apply some useless
local remedy when the only lasting re-
LEI will come from purified blood, kid
neys aroused to work, stomach secreting
abundance of digestive juices and q
toned up state Of the nerves. For this
there is no need of further proof as to
the value of Paine's Celery Compound
than can be furnished by the readers
own npighbors if you will take the pains
to make inquiries. The hest test of
the value of painc's Celery Compound
is to try it.
