Use Peruna for Catarrhal Deranqements.

Mrs. @. H. Buck, 202s Douglas street,
Omaha, Neb., writes:
al have used Peruna and can
cheerfnIly recommend ii as being
the best remedy for catarrh and
general debility that I have ever
used" Yours gratefully,
Mrs. C. III. Buck.
Peruna is applicable to catarrh Of
any mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruna is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subjects
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness of the mu-
'cous lining Of every organ of womsn's
body is well known to physicians, This
explains why, in part at least, so few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude of women have
found Peruna an indispensable remedy.

He entered the Confederate army and
was at the battle of Bethel and sur

He received two bullets from the Fed

charge up the heights of Gettysburg.
Hence the negroes and their allies in

1t may be remarked in pass
ing, that all the registrars of North

white men.
Butler, Abe Middleton and all of
their cohorts and all the Federal mar
shals and soldiers that they may
bring into North Carolina cannot and
will rot intimidate any of the Demo
cratic registrars from doing their duty
under the law.
Heretofore whenever the poor negro
dupe took the advice of violent CO.
wardly white men, they, the negroes,
were the sufferers. but if we under
stand the spirit Of the people of North
Carolina, the first fellow who will be
dealt with will be, not the negro him
self, who is mislead but the coward
who sits in the dark and urges them
on to deeds of blood shed.
We desire that this election shall
be conducted fairly and orderly, and
we hope that some good sense will
prevail among the leaders of the mon
grels, and that they Will not precipi-
tate bloodshed in the State. We have
not for an instant had the slight
est doubt but that the white men OF

rorized by all the violent threats made

RAIN BADLY NEEDED
Corn and Tobacco Suffering
From Drought.
Cotton Has Been Greatly Benefited by the
Warm Days and Nights Ct the
Past Week.

The Weekly Crop Report OF North
Carolina, issued yesterday by the
Weather Bureau here, says that with
some few exceptions the reports of
crop correspondents for the week
ending Monday, July Q, were generally
favorable. indicating weather condi-
ttons suitable on the whole for both
farm work and the growth of crops.
The past six days were characterized
bv very high temperatures, abundance
of sunshine and no rain except a few
lieht local showers. These conditions
gave farmers good opportunity to
clean crops of grass and weeds, and
much was accomplished. but the heat
became so intense the latter part of
the week. when maximum tempera-
lures exceeding 100 degrees generally
occurred. as to make it impossible to
work in the fields during the latter
part of the day.
Over many central and eastern
counties where the rainfall last week
was not especially abundant, drought
is beginning to injure crops, and the
ground has become too hard to work
In the west, however, the dry period
has not been of sufficient duration to
enable all fields to be cleaned, where
moreover, many lowland crops have
become so foul that it is almost impos-
sible to remove weeds and grass with
out injury to the crops themselves.
Farmers are very busy laying by
crops. and the scarcity of labor is con
siderably felt.
Old corn is suffering from drought
as we'll as that on stiff SOIL and on
uplands where it is beginning to fire
badly: damage by chinch bugs is re-
ported from some counties. The corn
crop on the whole looks very thrifty
and promising. is generally in silk
and tassel. and appears to be caring
| well: the bulk of the crop has been
| laid by. except in the west where
! much is quite small; lowland corn has
recovered somewhat from damage by
| excessive rains.
Cotton has been greatly benefited
| by warm days and nights, which have
| caused rapid growth, good color, and
| increasing abundance of bloom: fruit.
ing is taking place. There was very
little complaint of lice on cotton this
week; some fields in the southwest
are still very grassy.
| Tobacco is late in the northern
| trail portion. where topping has JUS
| begun, and is somewhat uneven else
where; it is suffering from drought
and firing in Johnston and few Other
counties. In general tobacco appears
to have made good growth; cutting
| has commenced in six eastern coun
ties. namely, Martin, Green Duplin
Cartaret, Onslow, and Wayne, an(
| some was cured.
Peanuts, rice. sweet potatoes, anC
peas now need rain.
Wheat is practically all housed
threshing continues. a few spring
| oats remain uncut in the extreme
| west.
Early apples, peaches. melons, ant
blackberries are coming into marke
