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 out 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 out, and the doctors gave
me no hope Of her cure. After she had
led a 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 a few bottles my child
was entirely cured, and has never since
had any sign Of the trouble, and is now
i'll 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. l then thought of trying Mrs.
Joe Persons Wash, and did 50. and it
is almost useless to say it soon made
a cure.
Il 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. l adj
vised one of my friends who had been
a terrible sufferer for long time, with
| nurses sore mouth. She used the Rem
| edy and Wash, and it soon made a cure.
Il have recommended it to ever so
many of my friends. for indigestion and
| other ailments, and l have never known
it to fail to cure yet. There is no medi-
cine equal to it.

great wealth and influence this winter
in assisting the Danish people in the
Western States. She is stopping in
Chicago, and from there writes her
straightforward endorsement of Paine's
Celery Compound.
Women who are easily excited, who
waste energy worrying over trifles, who
are often sufferers from sick headaches
and nervousness. should read the plain
unbiased statements of what Paine's
Celery Compound has done for other
women.
Among the diseases that cause a vast
amount of needless suffering that may
be readily cured by Paine's Celery Com
pound are biliouSness, torpid liver
headaches, sleeplessness, dizziness, con-
stipatiQn, dyspepsia and general nervous
ness and debility.
No man or woman who is continually
ailing can successfully carry on bust
ness, or be Of much real comfort to the
household
And only a thoroughly nOurished body
that has all the used-up, and therefore
harmful, material promptly removed
from the blood and tissues can be
healthy. When either of these vital con-
ditions of adequate repair or elimination
are ineompletely done. the organs need
just such help as Paine's Celery Com
pound is fitted to give. No other remedy
is so valuable
Where other remedies have failed,
Paine's Celery Compound will succeed.

In every civilized country rich and poor
alike have found restored health and
new vigor in Paine's Celery Compound.
Handwriting people or ordinary
means are to be congratulated" says an
English writer in reviewing the scien-
tfic work of the last quarter of a cen
fury, upon having so easily within their
reach to-day a remedy which the wealth
lest and most influential persons must
themselves use. if they would get the
best that modern medical skill offers.
Paine's Celery Compound proves that
the science of medicine has kept pace
with the wonderful progress which char
acterizes the life of the present gener-
alton"
The astonishing reputation that this
most wonderful Of all remedies has ac-
quired is principally due to the word-of-
mouth recommendation and endorsement
of men and women of the highest bust
ness and social standing, as well as of
those in humber but TO less imDor-

covered its merits.
Adeline. Countess SchimmeImann,
whose portrait is here given, in a recent
letter to the Wells Il Richardson Com

to recommend it to her sick friends.

JUDGES OF SUPREME COURT.
Some Suggestions to General Assembly
With Respect to Them.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
/ respectfully suggest the imperative
necessity for the General Assembly to
provide some means to hold terms of the
Superior court when the judge is sick
and unavoidably absent. Some judges
have not been so far fortunate as always
to bbe well. Very great hardships have
been caused by this defect in our judicial
system. 1t can best be remedied by a
Constitutional amendment, and mas
much as a Constitutional amendment
upon the article relating to suffrage will
be doubtless submitted to the voters, |
suggest a few other needed amendments
of minor Importance be also submitted.
Let article 4, section II, be amended
so as to authorize the Governor i'll such
emergency to direct Justice of the SUI
preme court to hold such term of the
Superior court. The Supreme court is
in session not more than 26 weeks out
of 80. It's members have generally been
taken from the Superior court bench,
and have had wise jurors experience.
Thus an experienced judge is always at
hand. The justices ''of the Supreme
court receive the same travelling allow
ances as we do without mourning fifth
of the expense. 1t is no hardship upon
them. as they are idle nearly six months
out of twelve, and upon an average each
Justice would not be called upon to sit
in the Superior court two weeks year.
1t surely cannot detract from their dig
nifty. The chief Justice and associates
of the Supreme court of the United
States are required to sit in visi prius
Circuit courts, and the Lord Chief jus
tee of England and his associates go
out on Circuit annually. BY adopting
this suggestion, regardless of interested
protests. the General Assembly will rem
edy n serious defect without dollars

The annexation of the Philippines is
one thing. The confirmation OF the
Peace Treaty is another. We shall cross
the annexation bridge when we come to
it. In the meantime it is the duty of
the Senate to consider the work OF the
Paris commission apart from any con-

The treaty once approved, the question
of how to govern the Philippines will
come up for discussion. Important as
the subject undoubtedly is, it must take
its turn in the order of events. We
shall be in no position to consider what
is best for the F'ilipinOs until the treaty
that gives us the right to govern them
is approved.

AN INSUFFERABLE CONDITION
IT is SIMPLY DAMNABLE."

In its late report the Interstate Com
not regulate railway charges. 1t says,
Tariffs are disregarded, determinations
constantly occur, the price at which
transportation can be had is fiuctuating
and uncertain. Enormous sums are spent
in purchasing business and secret rates
accorded far below the standard of pub
lished charges" Again it says:
"A large part of the railway business
is now transacted upon illegal rates. and
in certain quarters charging the publish
ed rate is the exception. The results
are gross determinations between indi-
viduals and gross preferences between
localities, which most always favor the
strong and Cypress the weak. Probably
no one thing to-day does so much to
force out the small operator and build
up those trusts and monopoles, against
which law and public opinion alike beat
in vain, as determinations in freight
rates. A further result is that rail
road business is carried on largely in
conceded violation of law. This condi-
ton the present law is powerless to con-
troll"
1t is well known that the Standard
Oil Company derived much of its power
from the special and secret rates secured
in transportation. Other trusts have had
the breath of life breathed in-o them by
discrimination in freight rates" Where
is the remedy? The conservative Spring
field Republican thus discusses the mat
ter:
And thus all law and the power of
the government is brought into a meas
ure Of contempt by these corporations
which, largely through the aid of quib-
bling Federal courts, have risen in power
above that of government.
"Such a situation is insufferable and
cannot be continued without svrioni
consequences. Economic laws may be
gradually driving the small man in busi-
ness to the wall, but it is simply dam,
nable that the public carrier system
should We permitted through lawless IA
voritism to hasten this progress, estab-
lish arbitrary monopolies, enhance the
power of trusts and combinations, and
quicken the concentration Of wealth III
the hands of few men.
1.-THE commission says that competi-
ton in transportation must be removed
il stability and honesty and equality in
rate-making are to be attained, and it ad
vses the legalizing of pooling under
strong public supervision. Doubtless this
is the most practicable remedy at hand.
The competitive principle is out of place
in railway transportation, which is es.
sentially monopolistic, and the sooner we
recognize the fact the better. But pool
ing without government supervision is
not to be thought OF, and the stronger
the government or public regulation OF
such traffic combinations the better. The
time has come for a larger measure
of public control and the breakdown OF
the interstate commerce act must be
the signal not for public retreat before
lawless trust and misunderstanding cor.
porations, but for public advance to a
closer and closer oversight and manage
ment Of this important business, so fun
damental in the distribution of wealth. y

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

There is no provision in the law that
contemplates the illness of a Superior
Court Judge and yet they are as liable
to get sick as ordinary folks. Last
year the illness of one of the best judges
on the bench prevented the holding of
important courts. In his last message
to the Legislature, Governor Carr urged
that some provision be made for holding
court when judge is sick, but no ac-
ton was taken. We publish to-day a
communication from Hon. George IL
Brown, an able and learned judge, sug-
costing a method that viii prove practi-
cable and inexpensive.

NO MORE JUDGES--FOURTE
CAN DO THE WORK.

CAN DO THE WORK.
The Democratic joint caucus will be
held tonight and it is understood that
it will continue its discussion of the prop
osition to elect four Superior court
judges, two in the. place of the Grim
inal judges and two additional ones.
Though no vote was reached at the
last caucus, it was apparent that the OPP
position to any increase in the number
was so great that no increase will be
made by this Legislature. Since the eau
Gus the discussion among the members
has disclosed the fact that the opposition
was even stronger than was manifested
in the caucus.
1t being practically settled that no new
Judges will be created, the question that
the caucus will take up is what to do
with the two criminal circuits. The Su-
preme court decision that appeals from
the criminal courts must go to the Supe-
rior court has destroyed much of the
usefulness of the criminal courts, and
ion they are practically worthless. Even
before the decision the law creating them
was so full of scrudities and errors that
the law ought to be radically changed
with reference to them. Under the law
as it now stands criminal court judge
can hold as many courts as he says
are necessary, and he is paid $100 for
each term he holds. He may hold a
court every week in the year and receive
a salary of 5000 a year, and holding
court two days in a week is counted Il
whole days work so far as pay is con-
cerned. The Asheville bar demands the
abolition of the criminal court of the
Western district and, whether abolished
or not. Mr.. Davis, of Haywood, will ask
to have his county taken out of the dis
trict.
There is some division rs to whether it
will be better to abolish the criminal
courts and elect two Superior court
judges in stheir stead, or so amend the
methods of appeal from the criminal
court as to make them more efficient.
This is the question the caucus will set
tie tonight, and the contention will be
thoroughly debated by able men. 1t in
wolves no question of additional expense,
being merely which of two plans is the
best for the State.
While the interest of no man ought to
be allowed to stand in the way of the
proper settlement of the matter, the fact
that two excellent gentlemen have been
elected criminal court judges viii neces-
sarily be taken into consideration. Their
friends argue that they were chosen to
a four years term to an existing office,
and that if their courts are abolished
they should be elected judges of the new
districts, or at any rate the equities
would demand that they be given the
position of solicitor if for any reason
others should be elevated to the bench.
On the other hand it is argued that they
ran for these positions with notice of the
Supreme courts decision and the oppo-
sition to the courts, and that they have
no claim to any position If it is to the
public interest to abolish the courts-that
it is the duty of every man to bury his
ambition if the good of the State re-
quires it.
However the matter is settled, iegis-
lators: Do not increase the number of
judges.
