Return ed prospectors state that game is being slaughtered merely for the fun of the thing and scores of carcasses which cannot be used or carried away are left on the spot where they were killed.

TWO EXCURSIONS COME TO RALEIGH.
The Sunday Schools of Sanford and Burlington
Take Trip,

Two excursions came to Raleigh
yesterday-one from Sanford and one
from Burlington. Both were Sunday
school excursions and both brought
a trainload Of happy faced young peo-
pie. The excursion from Sanford was
the first to arrive and reached here
Just about 10 o'clock. The greater
part of the eXcursionists had dropped
off at the Fair Grounds, though a
large number came on up to the Union
depot.
The excursion from Burlington
came in about half an hour later, and
brought with it nearly three hundred
people. Probably two hundred people
came on the Sanford excursion. The
members of both excursions put IN a
good days work. They had their
basket dinners over at Pullen Park,
and in the afternoon came over to the
city and went upon the capital, made
the round of the museum, the libraries
and State buildings, and seemed to
enjoy themselves very much IN spite
of the terrific heat.
Raleigh is becoming one OF the most
popular places for summer excursions,
and deservedly so. Besides being the
capital of the tSate, it has more points
of interest than any other city in the
State.

$3.50 Reward!

Chairman Simmons offers a reward of
$3.50 for information that will convict the
party or parties that have had fac smile
of his signature made which is being af-
fixed to bogus documents which are being
circulated under the same cover with Re-
publican and Populist literature. The use
of these bogus letters with Chairman Sim
mons simulated signature is fraud and
forgery. 1t it doubtless done to induce
white men to read the lying Fusion litera-
ture which accompanies the document to
which Mr. Simmons name is forged. 1t
is said that some Of the Fusion speakers
are using letters with these forged fac
smile signatures, which are known to
them to be forged, for the purpose of car
rying out their organized scheme Of fraud
and deception.

n Word
to Doctors

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid We
lay 1t down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
Gus to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al.
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying liniment that softens and re-
lakes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com.
Dining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it
