In the year 1897. Mr.. n. Duhling, ac-
co1manied by his father Mr.. W. IL.
Drinking, moved to Pittsboro and engag-
ed in the sale of farm implements. In
This business Mr.. Duhling has come in
close contact with the best farmers of
the county. He has also lad an oppor-

party of Chatham is composed. Mr..

ment, will say that on the National
issue / am a staunch Republican and
when / came to North Carolina from
Wyoming three years ago, it was with
the sympathy of a Northern man In re-
gard TO the negro, but three years of ex-
perience with them is enough foU me
and / think that the people of the Old
North State have been too lenient with
them and you will find me one of the
most ardent supporters OF the amend
ment ! also find that the Northern he
publican has the same element to con-
tend with that the Southern Democrat
has, viz: AIN illiterate, uneducated class
of people. While the Northern class are
susceptible to Improvement, the negro
race il not, Therefore, l am with you

Mr.. Bowser got down on hands and
knees to pull the cat out from under

she lodged him and went flying down
stairs. He made pursuit, and she ran
through the basement into the the
back yard. Armed with clothes prop,
he ran her across the yard and over
the fence.
"She got away, but something else

around for brickbats.
There were other cats wandering
about. They heard the racket, and
their curiosity was aroused They
climbed the fence to look down into
the Bowser yard, and be gathered up

Below are the earnings of railroads
belonging to the southern and south
western groups for the fiscal years
ended June 80 1900. and June 80
1899:
Gross,
Southern .............s G3, sos 255 $55. 2S7. O97
Southwestern ............ 5l.5l5 ~ No. l3i, 'Si
Southern ............... 18,9l6 l52 $l6.2l7 273
Southwestern ........... 1880 III IL. sS5. Dol
In the case of the southwestern
group, including lines in Texas, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kan
sas and Colorado, the increase in net
earnings was 2S.19 per cent, which
is greater than that of any other
group of systems in the United States.
An examination of the reasons for
the phenomenal increase in the pros
pcritS of southern railroads, shows
that they are associated with matters
Of national policy which. during the
past four years have been matters Of
republican policy
The price Of the great southern sta
Pile cotton went up from tiye to
seven cents, and from seven cents to
ten cents per pound. for the primary
rca~on that tile general policy pre-
vailed q opening UP American mills
10 labor i large number ot the mills
thus opened were cotton mills, and
the section where nearly all Of the
new ones we're opened was in the
south.
Money has loaned AZ Tower rates
of interest; both agricultural and
manufacturing interests have been
stimulated thereby: and what stimu-
lates these interests directly stimu-
lates he business of railroads. The
outbound shipments Of the raw cotton
may not have been heavier because
more was used in the southern mills;
but the outbound shipments of tex
tile goods have greatly increased. Also
the inbound shipments of the luXuries
of life have increased enormously. and
this class OF freight is the best pay
ing of all.
Opening up new markets in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines for
the products of the south has given
great additional stimulus to the
southern railroads. which geographic
ally considered, derive unusual advau-
tages from the expension policy.

lieve that money Will prevail in this cleo
ton or that any attempts at fraud Will
escape the watchful Democrats. who will
be on duty all day from the time the polls
open until they close There will be two
watchers from the regular organization in
every precinct.
In addition to this the Citizens Demo-
cratic Association is making up a list Of
persons who will watch the counting OF
the ballots and be en- duty inside the cleo
tion booth. II is proposed by the assoeia-
ton to have one man on duty in each poll
ing place in the city. Legal authority to
enter the election booths has already been
obtained and the association has issued
call for volunteers for this purpose. The
object of the movement, as stated by
! Major G. c. Wedderburn, is simply to see
that fair count is made.
The Maryland Democratic Association
will also have watchers in every precinct
who will work in harmony with the organ
ization watchers.
The following warning and appeal from
the headquarters of the National AsSocfa-
| ton of Democratic Clubs has been receiv-
| ed by the Democratic League Of Maryland.
addressed to W. E. Beveridge, secretary;
1.-THE Republicans have a large and
| growing corruption fund. with which they
| expect to debauch election officers, judges
! and individual voters. a thorough organi
| zation is necessary to combat efectuaily
these dishonest plans, and an organization
| can only be made effective by the expen-
| diture of some money. The Democratic
| party does not expect to realize one-hun-
| dredth part of the money the Republican
party has secured, but it does need soma
money and it needs it at once
The appeal has been sent all over the
| country and action will probably be taken
| by the league to have represent atiyeS
| about the polls on election day.

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
the Principal Cause Is CurabIe Hat
Generally Overlooked.

GenernIly ONeE1otkeu.
Many things may cause deafness. and
very often it is difficult TO trace a cause.
some people inherit. deafness, Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is eatarrh OF the
head and throat.
prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine cut of ten
cases of deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated, but
it is certainly true that more than half of
all cases of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds its way into the Eustachian
tube and by cIcgging it up very soon af-
fects the hearing and the hardening of the
secretion makes the loss of hearing per-
manent, unless the catarFh which caused
the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this little far fetched, but anyone
at all observant must have noticed how
hard cold in the head viii affect the hear
ing and that catarrh if long neglected
will certainly impair the sense of hear
ing and ultimately cause deafness.
II the nose and threat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions OF
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
improve and anyone suffering from deaf
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves
on this point by using fifty cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new catarrh
cure, which in the past year has won the
approval of thousands of catarrh sufferers
as well as physicians. because it is in
convenient form to use. contains CO.
caine or opiate and is as safe and pleas
ant fer children as for their elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a wholesome
combination of Blood Root, Guaiacol, Eu-
calyptol. and similar antiseptics and they
cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by
action upon the blood aud mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses it:
You do not have to draw upon the i'm
agination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from StuaTt's Catarrh Tab
lets. Improvement and relief are apparent
from the first tablet taken
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any catarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays, salves,
and powders will appreciate to the full
the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
