MRS. JOE PERSONS
REM EDY
Without an Equal.

l consider Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
is without an equal. Ten years ago it
cured me of cancer on my face, pro-
nounced so by tire physicians, also of
rheumatism, and every spring previous
to that l was covered with boils that
would last for months. Since that time
have never had the appearance of one.
So many have been to me for informa-
ton that / have concluded to write you
a second time, acknowledging my graft
tude to you and Almighty God for MAX
ing you the instrument in His hands of
doing so much, and let the public know
of my wonderful cure.
Your Remedy and Wash do all they
claim to do and even more. Should they
ever return, l would feel safe of recov-
cry with your medicine and Gods help.
| have seen numbers of cases cured right
here at home with your Remedy, and all
are ready to bless you and say there is
none SO worthy of universal patronage as
this noble woman and her valuable med
icine. Only give it a trial 1t will speak
for itself. l am still using all my in
fiuence for you.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES G. ARLINGTON.

Our Best Bow to the Mascot" "

The Statesville Mascot of this week has
the following very kind words to say of
this paper and its editor:
''Josephus Daniels. editor of the Rail
eigh News and Observer. the present
member Of the National Democratic COM
mttee, should be RE- elected by the State
delegation to Kansas City. No truer
Democrat nor wiser politician lives in the
State. His paper is the leader in all OF
the party's fights and is hated by the
fusionists as no other paper in the State
for the reason that it does more to
thwart their schemes Mr.. Daniels stands
for all the Democrats of North Carolina
stand for, and his reelection as North
Cardinals representative on Mr.. Bryan S

will be unanimous"

THE GREAT ISSUE.

Webster's Weekly.
Whether North Carolina shall be freed
from the incubus of the ignorant and
vicious negro vote, forced upon her at the
point Of the bayonet in reconstruction
days, or shall continue to be chained to
this body of death; whether future politi-
cal contents shall turn upon race preiu-
dice or there shall be freedom of thought
and action as there was in the good
old days when Wing and Democratic
giants strove for the mastery, and the
State was safe in the hands of either;
whether our beloved State shall be per-
mitted to give her thought to something
besides partisan politics-these are the
considerations that every white voter
must take into account in making up his
verdict upon the Constitutional Amend
ment.

Lumber Mill to Close Down

An official report of the North Caroline
Pine Association in Norfolk, Thursday
says:
THE trade situation was fully dis
cussed and, upon the whole, it was found
to be more encouraging than month
ago, there being more inquiries for lum-
Der and more orders, both domestic and
foreign, together with very small in
crease of stock over that reported at the
meeting last month.
Taking it upon the whole it was not
deemed necessary to reduce prices, but
out of caution and to make the situation
still stronger, it was decided to reduce
the output for next month SO per cent
This will be done by closing down the
mills of Eastern North Carolina and Vir-
ginia two days out of each week.

THELOUISIANA ELECTION.

The recent election in Louisiana is
just now attracting much attention
on account of the new suffrage con-
ditions in that State. which had their
first trial on April II, and because
similar restriction of the suffrage
is now proposed in this State.
The new suffrage clause of the
Louisiana State constitution admits
to the suffrage only those who can
read and write, or who pay taxes upon
5000 worth of property, or who are
descendants of men who voted before
the Civil War. On account of these
restrictions the registration of voters
this year fell off from 100000. last
years figures, to $4,000. This was
due to the inability of the negro to
register. AS the new constitution
particularly DISTINGUISHES the black
race, only 1000 negroes registered
this year.
There was also on the day of cleo
ton very light white vote-after a
full registration-wnich is said to have
been due to a heavy rain and wind
storm, described by the New Orleans
Picayune as the worst in seventeen
years, which ragged throughout the
State on April 16 and II. Many of the
New Orleans voters went to the polls
in skiffs and on RATS, and the New Or
leans Times-Democrat prints picture
of the chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee from a photo
graph taken as he was navigating the
streets of the city on private raft
of two planks. trying to bring out a
full vote.
Of the practical operation and eff
feet of the new constitution i'm Louis
lana the News and Observer will have
something of interest to say later.

Virginia, seeing what a good thing
North Carolina has in her proposed
Constitutional Amendment, is prepar-
ing to have one like it. It's object there
as here will be to eliminate the ig-
norant negro voter but to disfranchise
no white man. The platform adopted
by the recent Democratic State con-
vention in Norfolk contains this reso-
luton:
Resolved. That it is the sense of
this convention that in framing Il new
constitution no efforts should be
made to disfranchise any citizen of
Virginia who had a right to vote prior
to 1861, nor the descendant of any
such person, and that when such con
stitution shall have been framed it
shall be submitted to a vote of the
people for ratification or rejection.

Broke Out of Tail.

Colfax for the alleged theft of large
amounts of grain from the ware
house, made q nearly successful es
cape from the county jail Tuesday,
but he was subsequently captured,
although Dan Mcdonald, who es-
capped with him, was not recaptured.
The story OF the escape, as told in
the press dispatches, was as fel-
lows:
The escape had been cleverly
planned but poorly executed. Two
bars over one of the windows on the
north side Of the jail were cut and
removed, leaving an aperture plen-
ty wide enough for a man to pass
through. 1t is claimed by the
sherifl7s force that The bars were cut
from the outside, and Clifford says
this is true. Now Sheriff Sanutt is
anXiously searching for the man
who cut the bars. At Z O'Clock the
petty offenders who are serving
short sentences on the chain gang
were taken out to breakfast, and
Clifford and the two Mcdonald
boys were released from the big
cage and allowed to remain in the
corridor. Clifford removed the
bars that had been sawed and es.
capped. He was seen by son of
Sheriff Canutt, who lives across the
street from the Jail. The boy mott
fed his father, who ran cut in time
to see Clifford turn the corner by
the mill. The sheriff started in
pursuit, following the fleeing pris-
onsr down the railroad track
toward the river The sheriff be-
gan shooting at Clifford when with
in $50 yards of him, the first bullet
striking between the latter's feet.
The second struck near his side,
but still he continued to run until
he was headed off by some men
working on the telephone line.
Sheriff Canutt, who is an excellent
pistol shot, says he shot to hit Cliff |
ford, and had he not been so tired
and nervous from his long run
would have hauled him back to
the jail"
Clifford was brought back to the
Jail and locked in his cell. In the
meantime Deputies Carter, Steward |
and Elmer had arrived at the Jail F.
and learned of the escape. Stew
ard was in the office few minutes
when someone called him by tele-
phone and told him two prisoners
had escaped from the jail He took |
the key and went in, finding Jim
Mcdonald reading a paper, and
Dan Mcdonald gone. He imme-
diately started in pursuit of Dan
Mcdonald, who had been seen 60
ing over the hill near the reservoir, /
but there all trace of him was lost
When Deputy Sheriff Carter ar
rived at the Jail he found jim Nc
Donald attempting to escape
through the same hole the others
had gone through, and locked him
in cell He then joined in the
chase after Dan Mcdonald, as did
Deputy Sheriff Elmer and several
others who were employed by Sher-
if Canutt to assist in the search,
but not trace of the escaped pris-
oner was found.
Charley Mcdonald, the Oldest of
the Mcdonald boys, escaped from
the Jail about six weeks ago. No
trace of him has ever been found.
He has served two terms in the
penitentiary, and is noted Grim
inal. Dan is the youngest of the
three. He has been in the reform
school. All the family are Grim

Fortune in a rrnck Far,n.

There are over COO acres of Phila-
delphia land under cultivation south
of Porter street, in the district known
as the Neck, and there is now living
in Germantown man who has amass-
ed fortune of $500, 900 In raising early
vegetables In that locality. His two
sons are still engaged in truck farm
ing. although they have not the same
chances us their father had during the
civil war, when spinach sold for s. a
barrel and onions brought SIP bar
rel The father, with his half million,
has removed to handsome country
seat near Germantown, where he lives
in opulence.
He was an orphan and at the age of
Il, having been bound to a trucker,
he went with another man to work a
farm on shares. In two years he was
able to take farm of his own and
success crowned his efforts. In those
days the farmer took his own produce
to market and sold it direct to the CON
sumer without the aid of the commits
sion merchant. Thao 100, there was
no competition from the South in the
matter of early vegetables. The labor
of boys could be had for 50 or So a
week, but all this is now changed. On
Porter street between Thirteenth and
Sixteenth there are two large public
school houses, and the boys who used
to work on the farms now attend
school. The farmers are consequently
obliged to employ men and pay them

When we We're young 1t was found
that the planks in the stable floor were
so damaged that it was desirable to
take them up and replace them. They
had probably not been taken up for
many years, and the amount Of fertil-
izing material that was dug out there
and thrown into the barnyard was a
revelation to us. We think we dug at
least four feet deep, and doubt IL we
got the whole Of the valuable material
and perhaps much less than half of it.
Certainly it was well saturated or had
been with the liquids from the stables,
and it was richer than the ordinary
barnyard manure, as we found when
we put 1t on the land, or when the
crops grew upon which we put it. The
hole we made was filled Up with dry
sand, and if it has not been cleaned out
since we would warrant that there are
several loads of good fertilizer there
now. This taught us to appreciate the
value of barn cellar in which the ma
nure, both liquid and solid, could be
saved, and although we now would NOT
keep cows in a stable with cellar I'M
der it, or at least would never plan to
have manure cellar under the cows we
still think that large share of the fer
tilizing value of the manure is lost
when there is not some arrangement
for saving the liquid as well as the
solid. And for this we would have a
cement floor, with movable plank
floor over it. We would not have the
fumes of the manure coming up
through the floor into the room where
we had to do the milking.-American
Cultivator.
