Officers for Harsh Treatment.

Washington, Aug. 5.-United States
Minister Powell at Port au Prince, has
caIbled the State Department that he
has received its instructions relative to

rest of NJ. Du Vivier therein by Haytian
officers. He has already notified the

Haytian Government promptly released

conceal their intention to proceed delih-
erately in the matter, and to refrain
from surrendering Du Vivier if he is to
be made the victim of arbitrary or illegal
methods.

London. Aug. Whatever fancifui
reasons are offered for the visit of the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, NJ

assume it has reference to the present
unsettled condition of European politics.

William, if once convinced that the Rus

primary object of NJ. Delcasse, therefore,
is to get public evidence that the ALI
ance holds good by persauding the Gar
to visit the Paris exhibition of 1900 and
also by personal contact with the Rus
sian court and statesmen, to ascertain
to what extent the alliance may be relied
on.

Paine's Celery Compound in preference
to any other remedy?
Because it has prolonged the lives of
thousands of sufferers; it has made theiI
sick patients well.
The best fest that can be applied to
Paine's Celery Compound is to use it.
: If one is run down." feels without en-
ergy, lifeless, useless, fretful, take this
great remedy. and note the change.
In its peculiar ability to at once invig-
crate the body, to make new blood and
to regulate the nerves, lies the great
value of Paine's Celery Compound i'll
all wasting diseases and disorders of the
kidneys, liver and stomach.
A neglected complaint. though slight
at the beginning, may through neglect
cause a lifetime of misery. The ring
ing in the ears, the bacl1ache or the
general debility unless the body is braced
up again, may teach one by bitter eXpe-
rience that disease can creep through
very small holes.
Paine's Celery Compound stimulates
the kidneys, improves the appetite and
digestion, drives out any scrofulous ten
dcncy in the blood and actively encour-
ages the nutrition of the nerves and
organs with the result that the whole
body takes on flesh and color-the surest
Indication of improved health.
1t makes people well!

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

A gentleman remarked recently that
had n 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 a 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
rsings to break out on her body. OFT
time there would be as many as 90 or
p. We had several doctors to treat her
at different times, but nothing reached
her case. They would lance these ris-
ingS, but as soon rs one was cured
another broke out, 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 change
for the better in twenty-four hours. it
seemed to check the bowels at once,
and after using few bottles my child
was entirely cured, and has never since
had any sign of the trouble, and is now
in perfect health. A few years after
this | had two sores to break out on my
ankle, and strange to say / did not
think of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. /
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
cure.
81 wish I could speak so that every
man, woman and child in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that | might tell
them what Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine. l adj
vised one of my friends who had been
terrible sufferer for a long time, with
nurses sore mouth. She used the Rem
edy and Wash and it soon made a cure.
81 have recommended it to ever so
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.

Chicago, H., Dec. u, 1893.
Gentlemen:-It gives me pleasure to
certify to the good effect from Paine's
Celery Compound for my patients in
general debility and liver complaints.
Andrew l.. Lundgren, NJ. ID.
Why do the ablest physicians irf Amer
lea openly prescribe, use and recommend
Paine's Celery Compound?
First, because Paine's Celery Com
pound is not a patent medicine. 1t is not
the discovery of some quack Of whom his
profession never before heard; it is not
a concoction put up by some man who
first invented Il name. and then adopted
a preparation to fit it; and it is not Il
secret remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the life
long study of the greatest physician
America has produced, a man whose
reputation was worldwide years before
he had ever arrived at the wonderful
formula; q man who has received the
highest degrees from the best colleges,
who was at the time of his great discoy-
cry professor at Dartmouth and a lee
turer in other universities, scholar and
member of a family which has made
its mark in every department of public
life in America Edward D..

\ bill has been introduced in the
North Carolina Legislature for the es-
Enlistment of a textile school. 1t pro-
vides for a board of directors, including
many of the progressive men of the
State, and that they shall select a site
for the school in any city or town which
other things being desirable, shall pay
to the board $4,000 for the work Of
the school. Upon such donation being
made $4,000 more is to be drawn from
the State treasury. Far-seeing men Of
North Carolina have for about two
years past been active in the general
movement which has resulted specially
in the textile department at Clemson
college and at the Georgia School OF
Technology. The passage of this bill
by the Legislature will enable the
friends Of the undertaking to concen-
trate their efforts, and if we are not
mistaken there are communities in North
Carolina which will make that concen-
tration successful.

"BEWARE OF THE GREEKS
BEARING GIFTS"

Those corporations that at first sought
to prevent the fulfilment of the Demo
cratic party's pledge to put foreign and
local corporations upon the same foot
ing have heard something drop. They
have found out that this Democratic
Legislature is composed of men who
will carry out every pledge to the peo-
pie, and cannot be deferred from keep
ing their promises by the clamor that
they are ''populistic" 1t is settled
that the Hairston or the Craig bill, or
a bill putting foreign corporations on
the same footing with State corporations
will become a law. The legislators, as
Mr.. Hairston said. will take orders
from no corporation.
Those corporations that desire to con-
tinue to defy theState courts are resource
full and versatile. Seeing that some bill
along the line of the platform declara-
ton will pass, they have now put their
lawyers to work to draft amendments
to pending bills that will make them
worthless. AS we pointed out yesterday
when Senator Hairston introduced his
first bill the corporations did not say a
word. They saw that it contained pro-
visions that were unconstitutional, and
they were perfectly willing that the
Legislature should pass bill that would
be declared unconstitutional. 1t was
only when Senator Hairston, after seek
ing the advice of leading lawyers, in
troduced a new bill that could hold water
that they poured out upon him the walls
of their wrath.
From this time on you will hear the
corporation agents declaring themselves
in favor Of measure to bring foreign
corporations into the State courts, IF
it was not unconstitutional" Some Of
them will even be on hand to help draft
a bill, so anxious are they to carry out
the platform pledge, but they will all
the time be determined TO incorporate
provisions that will not stand the tests
of the Supreme Court. Friends OF the
measure ought to give careful consi(l-
Grafton to all phases of it, and enact
a bill that will carry out the platform
pledge. In so doing, they Will be wise
if they fear the Greeks bearing gifts.
