THE HIGHEST PROOF.

The highest and best proof of the merit
of curative agent is that it does what
it claims. The medical world has always
recognized as a fact the erroneous claim
that opium and narcotic drug users, and
whiskey drinkers are incurable. Under
the Kelley Methods and treatment, in
use at The Kelley Institute, Greensboro,
\. c., all are cured, who desire to be,
except in cases where the physical condi-
lions will not tolerate the absence of the
drug.

New York, April 11.-There has been
no improvement in the demand today in
any division of the market and business
has ruled dull throughout. Staple cot
tons of all kinds are without change in
prices for either spot goods or forward
deliveries. Business in print ginghams,
etc., limited to former prices. Print

COTTON.
New York, April 1.-THE cotton mar
ket was exceptionally narrow today, the
entire scope of fluctuations being a mat
ter of nine points. The volume of bust
ness was also unusually light, with deal
ings chiefly between local operators and
in good part for closing up accounts in
anticipation of the Good Friday holidays
There was practically no outside support.
Local sentiment was inclined to be bear
ish, but reports from the cotton belt
regarding the crop situation led to eau
ton in the matter of selling, although
news was far from being bullish. The mar
ket after opening quiet at decline OF
two to three points under disappointing
cables steadied up a little on local de-
mand but soon became sluggish and re-
turned to the lowest point. There was
rally late in the day on covering by room
shorts and Wall Street buying. with the
market finally steady at five points high
er to one point net lower.

EgAWY REMARKABLE CURTIS.

The cures effected by Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
zeal Discovery are so many and SO remarkable that
an explanation of the theory OF these cures seems
almost necessary To understand the action Of the
discovery we must 60 beyond the blood. If we
follow the scarlet clue of vein artery IT leads
at last to the stomach
vThe blood is the 1ife?" True But what IS
blood made from? Blood is made chiefly from what
we eat and drink 1t IS the food, which, after being
properly digested and assnlilated nOurishes the
BODY in the form of blood. But when the stomach
and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition
diseased there cannot be a perfect digestion and
assimilation of food Hence, in what is called
uweakD stomach the nutrition of the body IS re-
duced, and the various organs which depend on
this blood made from food put short rations.
Like soldiers in a siege they will hold out on this
reduced ration as long they can. But 1t IS only
a question of time when collapse comes, and "weall
stomach is followed by " weak heart, " weak lungs,
Wyyeakn kidneys or weakness of some other principal
organ. The conclusion IS obvious. To help the
blood YOU must cure the stomach. The great sue
cess of vGolden Medical Discovery" IS in chief due
TO the fact that it begins with the stomach 1t cures
diseases of the stomach and other organs OF d1ges-
ton and nutrition and with these If cures diseases
which seem remote from the stomach but which
have their origin in the disease OF that organ.
Accent no substitute for DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. There IS no other blood Prrl-
fving medicine which is "just as good"

HON. CLARK HOWELL'S VIEWS
About the Strength of Mr.. Bryan In
the South.

Chicago. May H.-IIon. Clark Howell,
editor Of The Atlanta Constitution and
member of the democratic national COM
mittee from Georgia, who arrived In Chi
cago today. believes that Bryan will carry
that state in the coming election ana
believes that Bryan will receive tho vote
of every southern state In the Kansas
City convention.
II believe" he continued, that the
democratic convention at Kansas City
will nominate straight ticket without
regard to what has been done by the
populists or what may be done by any
other convention. While Mr.. Towne may
be strong man. II Will not do for the
democratic party to take the Instructions
from any other party in the selection OF
a man for the vice presidency. For the
good of the party / believe that the action
taken By the democrats at Kansas City
will be concurred In by the gentlemen
who have been making the campaign for
Mr.. Towne."
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1900-05-21

Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Towne had expressed
a preference that the peoples party ma
tional convention she nd not nominate a
vice presidential candidate. He replied:
II have been told that II is true, but
1t was the judgment of he convention
that the best way to eject Soth of them
was to nominate.
cit must be remembered that neither
Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Towne is intimately
acquainted with the present situation "a
to the populist vote of the country. MI.
Bryan could not be elected by disbandinS
or appearing to disband the organization
of the peoples party.
'To have done SO would have lost him
ten populist votes for every gold demo-
cratic vote that he would have won back
to him. In short, the convention did the
thing that was necessary to be done to
Insure the election of Mr. Bryan"
