Mrs Joe Persons Remedy.
FEARFULLY BURNED.

In April, 1898, my little girl was fear
fully burned by her clothes catching
fire. Her whole face was terribly burn
ed. We had but little hope of her re-
cOvery as it yielded to medical treat
ment to the extent of being apparently
cured, but in a short time he sores
would again break out and Decoile rcd
and intlamed, and perfectly raw. Ne
tried different treatments for three
months and then determined to try Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy last .kugust. At
that time She had sores as Large rs Il
silver dollar, and she suffered ,trr.D'y.
She was so restless She coIld saI no
sound sleep and was not aUla To cat
solid food or grease of any Eind. Her
condition was indeed pitiable. Her
mouth was burned so it was perfectly
raw as far down the throat as we could
See After commencing Inc Remedy Is

solid food and anything else she wanted,
could sleep well at night and the SORES
soon entirely healed. She had not tak"n
a bottle before they healed and she has
been well ever since, though bd1y
scared from the burn.
| have used it myself for indigestion
and cannot say too much in its praise.
My little girl loved to take the Remedy
and crayed it. We use it as family
medicine for our children and it always
gives satisfaction.

HIT HIM IN THE BELLY WITH A P0NE OF
BREAD"

Senator Pritchard's negro domination
organ, the Asheville Gazette, has been
hunting through the mountains to find a
man who could be induced to write a
letter against the Constitutional amend
ment. 1t has found him in Watauga
county and parades his letter as the
document of leading Democrat. Re-
ferring to the new convert and his let
ter, the Asheyille Citizen says:
''But the declaration of this new con-
vert came out through the aperture left
after swallowing an official teat the
size of brandy gauger. He was paid
in advance. A brandy gauging job in
hand is worth much more than the
promise of two or three much more re-
munerative jobs in the future
Senator Pritchard can get a few more
letters from parties who love office
more than country if he will advertise
that "a brandy gauging job, or something
equally rs good" goes with each letter
announcing opposition to White Supre
macy.

Spirit Of the Press
AN ENEMY OF TRUSTS.

New York World.
Mr.. Bryan's second speech on trusts,
made at the Chicago Conference ON Sat
urday afternoon, in reply to Mr.. Cochran
and to Mr.. Foulke, displayed even moe
fully than his set speech i'll the morning
his mequaEled capacity for popular lead
ership in the movement against monop-
oily.
Mr.. Bryan's advantage lies in this:
He believes that there are monopolies;
that they are evils; that they can be
remedied- and he has remedies to pro-
pose.
For the people. who see the power Of
trusts and feel their oppression, this is
what appeals to them, rather than 4
weighing CT compensations, hair-splittin;'
over difficulties and doubts whether any
thing Gan be done.
Mr.. bryan says, IF the people are
in earnest they can break UP monopoly.
And the way to show that they are i'll
earnest, The World has frequently
said, is TO elect lawmakers, law officers
and executives who are in earnest too.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER THURSDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER A

three or four siXth-rate vessels gathered
together on Il scratch will be to intIict
an outrageous insult upon an officer
whom the President has honored with
his confidence and interest. To fur
nish him with a squadron of suitable
character, and still send him to South
American waters, win be to waste time
and strength merely for the purpose of
humiiating Schley.
80. Under the present arrangement,
Schley will reach South America in
midsummer. Almost any port which he
may enter will, in all probability, be
infected with yellow fever. The eli
matte conditions will be most unfavor-
able, the health of the officers and
men be needlessly jeopardized. 1t has
not been the custom heretofore to MAIN
tain a tirst-class squadron in South
Amrican waters during the sickly sea-
son. The station has never before been
regarded as important enough for an
officer of flag rank.
-. In the case of complications re-
curing q serious naval demonstration
in South Africa, the European Station
would be q more convenient base than
the South American. Our squadron
could reach the objective point in
quicker time in better condition, and
at less expense.
II. The argument that Farquhar or
any other admiral ranks Schley has
already been disposed of by the Navy
Department, for Sampson has held com
mand of the greatest fleet we ever
had--and held it all summer-while Far
quhar. Howison, Schley, and others who
rank him have been kept in obscure and
undesirable positions.
F'We venture to invite the Presi-
dents attention to these considerations
If there be no European Squadron to
give Schley, neither is there a South
American Squadron to give him. Either
way, the squadron has to he created
for the purpose. We ask, then, why go
to all this trouble to send Schley to an
unhealthy and unimportant station when
it is just an easy to give him pleasant
and wholesome one? Why, after hav-
ing maintained an officer of inferior
rank in position of extraordinary lux
ury and distinction for several months
past, condemn Schley, for whom the
President processes such regard and adj
miration, to n species of exile and obliv-
ion? This will strike the country as
a junket for Sampson and an indignity
for !Schley."

THE ST. LOUIS TRUST CONFERENCE.


The trusts can all be driven out of
business whenever the law-officers of
the State and Federal administrations
are ready to act aggressively at the same
time to execute the laws against them.
Under present conditions, the Federal
administration is hand in glove with
the trusts. That fact is evident.
Twice as many trusts have been or
ganized during McKinley's administra-
ton as during the previous hundred
years, and the Attorney General and the
district attorneys wouldn't harm trust
for any consideration. If a district at
torney should think for minute of
executing the law against trusts, he
would meet the fate of Ohio's Attorney
General who, when honestly trying to
execute the antitrust law, was denied
denomination. A man was nominated
who will employ the Griggs policy of
''masterful inactivity"
The conference of Governors and At
torneys General, called by Governor
Sayers, meets in St Louis this week,
Speaking of the work of the conference
and its objects, Governor Sayers recent
ly said:
Il have no plan or programme for this
conference. / merely wrote letters to all
the Governors, asking them to join me
at st. Louis for a conference, whose OBJ
ject would be to devise ways and means
of either regulating the trusts or annihi-
lating them. | am impressed with the
fact that the trust, as it now exists, is
an evil-a terrible evil--with which we
must grapple sooner or later. Our dual
form of government has given rise to the
diversity of opinion as to whether the
national or State governments should
take up the task of fighting trusts.
"Another question upon which there
is division is whether trusts should be
merely regulated or whether the fight
should be more far-reaching, and have
for its object their destruction. PERI
sonally, | am in favor of destruction,
root and branch. | have no patience
with the trust in any form, and don't be-
lieve regulation will do any good. They
must be destroyed.
but one thing is certain. One State
can do nothing if it attempts to fight
alone, and the influence of several
States is weakened if they do not con-
duct their fights according to the same
general plan. In other words, if the
States are to accomplish anything they
must act in harmony.
Il thought that if the governors Of a
considerable number of States could be
brought together with theic attorneys
general, they could arrive ut some
agreement as to the ways and means of
opposing the trusts and destroying them.
Il anticipate there will be no set
speeches. / expect TO do some talking
in an informal way. Tt would be inn
possible for good not to come out of
such an exchange of ideas"

WHAT A TAR HEEL VOLUNTEER WRITES

The Wilson Times prints a letter
from a North Carolina soldier in the
Philippines, G. +. Broadwell, Sergeant

These four extracts, in a letter written
by a volunteer to his father and mother,
tell more about the true situation in
Manila than will be found in all the

end comes, it will not only be to the

That's it exactly. There is war in

of the Republican administration. Mr..

raising six cent cotton and six cent To-
bacco, and all others upon whom war is
being waged by the trusts.
