markable healing and restorative properties
to the fact that they act directly upon the
thousands of little nerves located in the
abdominal region, thus enabling them to per
form their duties regularly and naturally.
They do not pain nor grippe.
The three remedies then, which 60 to
make up the best grip treatment in the world
are DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine, DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills and DR.. Miles Nerve n
Liver Pills. In order that every sufferer from
this dread disease or its terrible after effects
may have an opportunity of testing for them
selves the virtues of this great treatment, a
sample of each of these remedies will be
sent upon request to any address, absolutely
free of cost. Remember that none of the
DR.. Miles Remedies contain opium, NOR
phine, choral, cocaine or other dangerous
drugs, which only Supply the senses without
removing the cause of the trouble.
To Obtain Treatment Free.
All that is necessary to obtain this free
trial treatment and test for yourself is to send
your name and address on a postal card,

So severe are the symptoms which accom-
pany attacks of the grip, and SO dangerous
and far reaching are its effects upon the vi
tally of the system, that it is not safe fo-e
unfortunate sufferer from this 4sease
to neglect the proper care and Treatment.
Neither is it wise to squander valuable tine
in experimenting with new and untried rene
dies. Long before La Grippe made its ap-
pearance for the first time the
Dr.. Miles Restorative Remedies.
were known and recognized by the people
as valuable medicines. They were designed
to meet and overcome just such conditions
and just such troubles as accompany and
follow attacks of grip. So when the pest
lence first swept over the land nine years
ago, carrying sickness and death to so
many sufferers, there were thousands upon
thousands who were rescued from grips
terrible grasp and restored to health and
happiness through the virtue of DR.. Miles
Remedies. AS year after year has passed by
other thousands who have been suffering
from the terrible after effects of the grip have
found in these remedies their only source of
relief and restoration to health.

the vitality from the nerve centers, and the
one great remedy which seldom fails to over
come this action is DR.. Miles Nervine 1t
soothes and quiets the irritated nerves; it
builds up the vitality and replenishes the
wasting nerve force as fast as disease tears it
down. 1t puts new life into every muscle, or
gan and tissue, and so strengthens the system
that it can throw off the deadly grip germs
and resist further attacks of the disease.
The congestion of the small blood vessels
and capillaries which naturally follow the loss
of nerve force in the smaller nerve %centers,
resulting in aches and pains throughout the
body, in fullness of the head, in irritation of
the mucous membranes and frequently in
fever, is best overcome by the use of the
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. These pills stop
the irritation and the aches and remove the
fever without depressing the hearts action,
deranging the stomach or otherwise interior
ing with the healthy action of the body.
1t is very important in all cases of La
Grippe that the bowels should be quickly
cleared and kept naturally open, that the
waste products of disease may be quickly got
rid of; and for this purpose there is no rene
dy equal to DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Mount Olive, N. c., February 8.
MI. Thos. Killett, formerly Of Clin-
ton, n. c., but for the past eight
months residing at this place, dropped
dead on the side walk in front of Mr..
R. Konngay's store yesterday evening
at 6 o'clock. He was a carpenter and
had worked all day yesterday on Mr..
W. P. Konegay's dwelling house and
had just come from his work to Mr..
Kornegay's store. AS he stepped out
of the store he fell and was dead in
ten minutes.
His remains were taken to the old
Pennington burial ground, about five
miles from here in Sampson county,
where he will be inferred this even
ing at 4:3O o'clock. He leaves a wife
and a host of close relatives and friends
to mourn his demise. The deceased
was aged about so years and was
liked by all whom he came in contact
with.

IMPERIALIST DEMOCRATS.
Blntant Anti-ExpansionisM should
Rcnd Up ON Party
History.

AT the recent meeting of the Conti-
mental league-an organization whose
object Is TO protest against 1.-The
policy of Imperialism and entangling
alliances" but many of whose leading
members have long been trying TO en-
broil this country in European war,
and would like nothing better than to
do so now--lIon. Bourke Cochran de-
clared in his most eloquent and impress
svc manner that "any person who is a
democrat must, by the very elements OF
his faith, be opposed to the doctrine
of Imperialism that threatens the foun-
dation of our country" Yes. That
sounds well. But what, in the light of
history, does it mean?
Was Thomas jefferson democrat?
He went in for an Imperialism com
pared with which that of to-day lis as
moonlight unto sunlight, and as water
unto wine" lie annexed territories by
the side of which the Philippines are a
mere potato patch, without the least
regard for congress or the constitution,
and he arranged to do so and to govern
them without SO much as passing
thought of the consent of the gov
erned." Was Andrew Jackson dem
ocrat? He carried on the work of con-
quest in Florida at a rate far surpa ssing
anything we shall see in the Philip
pines, and he pledged himself "by the
Eternal" to govern South Carolina
without the consent of the governed.
Was Calhoun a democrat? Remember
the Mexican war and the seizure of an
empire in the southwest. Was Cass Il
democrat? Imperialism ran riot at his
word in Oregon. Was Buchanan a dem
ocrat? He signed the Ostend mani
festo. Was Marcy democrat? lie
wanted to annex Hawaii. There was,
down to the time of our civil war,
scarcely democrat of the first rank
who was not identified with "imperial-
ism"
What then? Were these men not
democrats, after all? Or were they
false to the faith? Are we to look upon
Hourke Cochran, instead of Thomas JEFF
ferson, ms the founder of the demo-
cratic party?

DEWEY DROPS A HINT.
Something for Anti-GSpansionists
to Put In Their Pipes
and Smoke.

a letter from ADMIRAL Dewey to q
kinsman in this country has been made
public, in which the admiral says that
Aguinaldo's prestige has wancd TO such
an extent that he could be easily dis
posed Of as disturbing factor were it
not that lie is buoyed up with the hope
that congress will refuse to ratify the
treaty and that in some way he will
personally benefit by the stand he has
taken for Independent recognition
Those senator's who are now engaged
in the work of holding up the treaty Of
peace should take hint from this let
ter. Even slight reflection upon the
statement CT Admiral Dewey may
cause them TO realize that, if they are
doing nothing more, they are playing
directly into the hands Of Filipino
demagogue whose only motive is self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Senators lloar and
Hale, particularly, who seem TO be the
chief obstacles in the way of ratiica-
ton, might proftably ponder on the
Philippine situation as thus revealed by
The gallant admiral.
There seems to be no doubt that the
crisis in the Philippines has been sharp
ly accentuated by the dilatory action of
senators in the matter of approving the
treaty with Spain. The malcontents,
under the leadership OF such irrational
and designing men as Aguinaldo and
Agoncillo, have taken advantage of the
senatorial hesitation 10 foment trouble
and to arouse the supplemented ma
tives to state of insurrection.
: n failure to ratify must inevitably in
tensify the threatening situation at Ma
Mia. To permit the crisis to reach n
sanguinary elimination would be n ma
Gonal disgrace. Such misfortune can
&c easily prevented by n prompt ap;
prevail of the treaty. After ratification
there will be time enough for delib-
crate discussion Of what we shall do
with the Philippines.
TO continue their arbitrary opposi-
tion, the hod-up senator's will be taxi
ing grave responsibility upon their
houlders.--Baltimore Herald.
