THE LITTLE SICkNESSES
Which Grow Into Bid Ones.

little cold In the head is a trifle, but If neglected and it hangs on from week to week and gets iHto tine throat and lungs dt is no longer trifle. It Is then no long CT a slight cold but the beginning of chronic catarrh.
 Do not make the mistake of thinking you have no catarrh because the head and nose appear to be clear. If there is cough, tickling in the throat, hoarseness or a sense of oppression in the chest you have throat and bronchial catarrh. If the ap- petite is poor, nausea, gagging and dis gust for food. especially in the morning, you have catarrh of the stomach.
 The surest and safest treatment for ev- cry form of catarrn is an internal remedy which acts especially on the blood and mucuous membranes.
 Such remedy is the new catarrh cure, sold everywhere by druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a medicine in pleasant, convenient tablet form and containing all the best and latest specifics for catarrh, whether located in nose, throat, bronchial tubes or stomach.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Sanguinaria, guaiacol, Red gum and sim,- lar antiseptics which destroy the germs of catarrh in the blood, and no one who suf- fers from any form of catarrh and has seen the uselessness of sprays, touches and powders will ever go back to them after once trying so convenient, pleasant and harmless a remedy as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and one which gives relief in so short a time.
 Even in cases where catarrh has ef- fected the senses of smell and hearing these tablets accomplish a cure because the blood being cleansed of catarrhal germs the mucous surfaces of the nose and throat no longer clog up the respiratory passages with catarrhal secretions. All druggists sell full-sized treatments ot Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the nominal price of 50 cents and the regular daily use of them will effeetually cure this trouble some and dangerous disease.

A Milk ...,ite FIaq.

Hoyt's famous comedy burlesque, "A Milk White Flag" has much of absurdity and fun in its clever sketch of the Ransome Guards, that valiant military organization whose members have doctors certificates all ready as excuses In case of being called into active service, and the story of the contractor who, with the undertaken as his confederate, pretends to be dead in order to get insurance money, brings on amusing complications that take three acts of hilar- ity to unravel It is said that the company does it's work admirably, and the cast is a good one Throughout. The band, the vivan- dierres the dashing officers and the color bearers all help to make bright and ef- fective stage pictures. Songs, dances and introduced specalties, all of which are now this season, and attractive groupings help to make the play go, So there Is not a dull moment from curtain to Curtain. GA Milk White Flag comes to the Jefferson The atre next Monday night.

The candidacy of Lieutenant James B. Donelson for Chief of the Police Force is meeting with great encouragement by his friends, and they express confidence in his success.

Fife Ellsler,

That always welcome actress, Fife Els Ter, will be seen tonight at the Jefferson Theatre in the brilliant successful drama, Barbara Frietchie,' which will be pre- scented with all the superb scenery and his torically correct costumes that helped its triumph for 150 nights at the Criterion Theatre, New York.
 A more powerfully attractive combina- ton it is impossible to conceive. Bhie Elsler is name that means something to everybody that knows anything about the American stage. She is one of the sweet est and most natural actresses that even won distinction. The tender and sympat- theuc quality of her art is Irresistible, and the heroines she has portrayed are recalled with pleasant and fragrant thought still wreathing them. She will make a charming Barbara Frietchie-not an old gray-headed Barbara, such as Whit tier wrote about in the poem on which the play is founded-but a young and fair Bar bara, still in her teens, and willful enough to be a little rebel in love, as well as In sectional feling. The play has so much of sentiment in 1t that it has been styled the American Romeo and Juliet" so the in- terest of young folks in it Is certain to be great Miss Ellsler will be assisted in the performance by Frank Weston, George Chapelle and an admirable company.

JEALOUSY
800 : ' | AND CRIME,
Young Lady and Guest Shot
by Her Lover.
DEED DONE IN DARKNESS

Williamson, n. c., Sept. "a
A most awfully brutal and
cowardly shooting affair occurs
led here Saturday night, when
about half past nine o'clock
some one shot both Miss Jennie
Moore, daughter of the late Hon
7. E Moore, and Mr.. Roland
Hobbs, her guest.
The young couple were seated
in the parlor on the sofa when
they heard a>noise, through the
window, of something in the
shrubbery outside and went out
to investigate the cause of it,
thinking it probably a COW in
the ya,d. When reaching about
20 feet from the front Steps the
noise in the bushes became ln>
tensly louder and Miss Moore eX
claimed that it was COW, and a
voice replied, mo, it is me" fol-
lowed by four pistol shots, the
first striking hobbs in the right
hip and the second found its
mark under the right shoulder,
of Miss Moore, going through
the body ,pelrcing the lung and
lodging in the right breast.
Returning from the house,
where he ran for his hat Hobbs
met Miss Moore coming in say>
ing that she was shot and asking
him to go for help, which he
started to do, but saw a man
standing under a lamp at the
corner Of the yard fence, arrang
ing d pistol, who when he saw
hobbs tired a, him. Tie assassin
was recognized to be joseph hcn

SIMMONS FOR SEN ATOR
CountTyman Argues His Side.

Will you allow plain citizen to
offer a few reasons why, in my
Judgment, Hon. F. VI. Simmons
should succeed Marion Butler in
the Senate Of the United States?
Ist. He has been faithful.
Twice he has had the burden Of
the campaign resting on his
shoulders, He barred his bosom
to the storm. He faced without
flinching the most bitter and
relentless prosecutions lie ell
dured the contradition Of sinners
Many men would have quailed
under this cyclone of traduction;
but he opened not his mouth
and Went calmly Oh With his
great work. For the sake Of his
State and his people he suffered
the vllest torrent Of abuse that
was ever heaped upon the head
Of a gentleman. And he con~
quered. No man was ever more
faithful. Is it not worthy of &C
ceptaticn in North Carolina that
the horse that pulls the pillow
deserves the fodder?
I'd He is able. Some have
doubted that this man will be
able to- hold his own in the
Senate, Why, | do not know.
Such men may be honest, but
they must be blind. Barring
AyCOCk, there wa> not a stronger
speaker in the last campaign
than F. NJ. Simmons. He is a
man of scholarship and Of cul
ture, and withal, OF fine social
qualities. III mental vigor 70
man yet mentioned for the exal
ted place TO which he aspi-es is
his superior.
81. He is Loor He is not able
to 'dispense hospitality" in
Washington. Thank toe Lord
this is true, and it is one great
reason why | want to see him
so there We are having a little
too much hospitality dispensed
already. Our Senators are be-
coming little too lo1dly. Mr.
Simmons can End plenty to 90
without spending his time fat
tening rich fools Yes, he is
poor, and we helped to make
him poor. He borrowed money
Oh his private property, l am
told. to help defray the expenses
Of the campaign. But fellow
citizens shall We cast him aside
because of his poverty Will as
shameless an argument as this
find acceptance in North Caro-
