1t is made from a formula of DR.. R. v.
Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
of women at Buffalo, n. Y. 1t is strictly
Temperance medicine, containing neither
alcohol, opium or other narcotic poison
Its protracted use does not create craving
for Intoxicating stimulants or deadly mar
cotics. 1t cures irregularities, displace-
ments, drains, alterations, inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness. 1t
prepares the way for almost painless ma
ternity and insures robustness to the new
born 1t cures women at home and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when you ask for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. They initiate this medicine
i'll appearance as nearly as the law will
allow, but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years Of cures
Mrs. Matte Veughaus of Tioga. Hancock Co,

At last I took three bottles Of Or. P.crce's Ia

Discovery, and it IS impossible ~ dsScyIbe in

Neither the Discovery nor the Fa-
vorite Prescription contains any alcohol,
opium or other narcotic.

unfortunately, the shortness. OF the Drop
this year puts the prico up to the present
figure. 1t may still go higher, but tho
holding of; cotton now is very risky. 1t
may decline, for the cotton market is most
uncertain. We fear tho prices this year
SSifor q short crop will induce tho Southern
farmers to plant heavily next year to the
neglect Of food crops. This will be a
great mistake. To increase the tareage,
with favorable seasons, will reduce the
price below tho cost of production. If
our people will SOW wheat and rye this
fall suflioiont for homo consumption, and
plant corn, peas, etc., II. xtspring to sup
ply the farm, that will reduce tho cotton
acreage, insure better prices and render
the farmer independent.
Let the farmers make cotton the sur
plus Drop ono year. In 0coneo county
we can raise very nearly everything
needed for home consumption. Tho
golden opportunity is presented for our
farmers to become Independent and
happy by the exercise of foresight and
economy.

Consumption is disease caused by
Impurities Of tho blood, and the frat
thing to bo dono In its treatment is to
make tho blood pure, rich and whole

half is the imprognation of tho blood

medicine. Dr. Pierco's Goldon Medical
Discovery docs both. IT first puts tho
whole digestive systom into perfect
order, rids 1t of all impurities, and from

out to every fibor of tho body and rct torres
all to perfeot vigor. 1t cures many dis-
eases, simply because many diseases
spring from sot Of common causes.
Tho samo disorder may lead to different
symptoms In difforent people. What
might be only o little indigestion in ono
porson, may combine with n slight cold
in another and resolt In consumption.
A treatment that t6nes up tho whole
system is always tho safest. a medicine
that Is good for the general health Is
pretty sure to cure ordinary diseases

THE TRAIL OF THE SERPENT.

1t is sad to think that in addition to
all the drunkards, widows and orphans
made by whiskey, and tho untold
wretchedness which it Jntails, tho foun.
tain head of our State government must
also be corrupted by it. There is on the
statute books n law, known as tho dis
pensary law, which purports to regulate
tho sale and uso of spirituous liquors.
pnis law provides that officers of tho
State shall buy all tho liquors used in
the State, and for this purpose an officer,
designated rs Liquor Commissioner, is
elected to have this traffic in charge.
Last week the Board of Control
chopped off tho official hoads of Com.
missiouer Douthit and Bookk eopor QUITS
for Irregularities, which, If true, as al
legged, were sufficient to domand their
suspension. We havo no doubt that
much of tho charge is truo. But if
Messrs. Douthit and Ouzts arc guilty we
arc impressed with tho idea that thoy
are not alone in their guilt. Every one
of these fellows who have violated OF
disregardod the law ought to be indicted
and sentenced to tho ohaingang, the
same as tho poor wretch who sells o half
pint.
The law says no whiskoy shall be sold
in tho State unless it has been tested by
the State Chemist and found to be
chemically pure. Have tho disponsary

North Carolina; that upon discovering
how bad it was they had called the at
tention of tho vendor to it, and ho had
agreed to take it back, but had failed to
do 30; that the board thought tho Char
lesion people would take and uso these
liquors, and he thought it all had been
shipped to the Charleston dispensaries.
He said it was xxx goods and all
right exc opt for these dregs. We stated
to him that if his explanations were
true the whiskey had not been labelled
correctly, fol what wo saw bore the <
labol. "Well, thon," said he, 'T cannot
