Senatorial Contest in New Hanover

Wilmington, n. c., Oct. 81, 1900.
To the Editor: I have received several
letters of inquiry as to the relative
strength of General Carr and Mr.. Sim
mons in this contest.
Up to the time that our distinguished
townsman Colonel Waddell withdrew
from the contest for United States SEN
ator but little interest was taken by our
citizens in either of the other aspirants.
Since Colonel Waddell's withdrawal
General Carr has steadily gained in
strength, and, judging from the number
of those in every class of society here
who publicly declare their intention to
vote for him, there is but little doubt in
my opinion, that he will divide the vote
Of New Hanover county with Mr.. Sim
mons. Very truly yours,
MARSDEN BELLAMY.

The Cases that Pyramid Pile Cure Will
Not Reach.

The cases that Pyramid Pile cure do
not reach are so few that physicians are
doing away with operations for piles and
depend more and more upon this simple
but safe and effective remedy to accom-
plish complete cure and it never disap-
points in any form of piles, whether pro-
truding, itching or bleeding.
Mr. Thomas E. Wood of SIS 18th street,
Sacramento, Cal. writes: at affords me
much pleasure to state that after using
only one so cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure,
l was cured of the painful and annoying
disease after having suffered from piles
for thirty years and tried every thing
and could only get temporary relief /

clans in California to have an operation
and 1 did and suffered almost death but
the piles returned and my suffering at
times was so great l was not able to
walk until l saw an advertisement of the
Pyramid Pile cure. | got it at once and
was relieved from the first application
lam so grateful that | feel like recon-
mending it to any and everyone afflicted
with piles"
The prompt relief and rapid cure which
follow the use of this remedy gave the
impression that possibly it might contain
opisum, cocaine of some similar drug but
a careful and frequent analysis of the
remedy has proven it to contain no inju-
rious drugs whatever, but it cures by as
tringent properties and healing oils.
The Pyramid Pile cure is sold by drug
gists everywhere at 80 cents for full
sized packages.
Each package contains a little book on
cause and cure of piles, together with
testimonials from thousands of cured pa
tients from every part of the United
States and Canada.

Winston Salem, Oct. 29.-Today Capt.
r. B. Glenn. of the law firm of Glenn &
Manly, sent the following letter to the
editor of the Wilkesboro Chronicle,
anent the charges preferred against the
Republican candidate for Congress in this
district. The letter explains itself:
"R. A. Deal ESQ., Wilkesboro, N. c.:
my Dear Sir-I did not intend to have
anything to say in regard to the Black
burn matter but your letter received on
Yesterday, stating that Mr.. Blackburn,
in public speeches, is saying that l denied
to him that affdavits were ever filed
with me when United States district at
torney, and that l knew nothing whatso-
ever about the charges made against him,
makes it necessary for me to write the
facts in the case, as MIR. Blackburn has
no right to make any such assertion.
80 far, l have refused to answer any
questions in regard to this matter, only
having told Mr. G. H. Reynolds and Mr..
A. e. Holton, at their request, what /
knew and also having written Mr.. Bar
Der that it was not libel in you to state
that / had received such charges and that
in making that allegation your paper only
told the truth
There were three affidavits filed with
me. charging Mr.. Blackburn with corrup
ton in office when United States COM
missioner. Two that he had received
money to dismiss cases instituted before
him, and the other, that he had received
a penalty handed to him to be handed to
the court, and which he had appropriated
to his own use. On receiving these affi-
davits l carried them to Judge Dick and
made known to him the contents. He
ordered me not to send the bill, stating
that he would see Mr. Blackburn in re-
gard to the matter and ask him
TO resign. These affdavits were sworn
to and subscribed before an officer,
and ought to be in the office of the United
States district attorney, as all old papers
in my office were turned over to my sue
cessor.
"Now, Mr.. Deal. l do not assert that
the charges made against Mr.. Blackburn
were true. / know nothing of the char
acter or motives that prompted these men
to make such charges. | can only say
that the charges were made, and that
this fact was we'll known to Mr. Black
burn Mr.. James Rousseau and Mr. H. L..
Green of your town saw these affidavits,
as did also my clerk. Mr. S. I. Neale, and
Judge Dick.
Il did not make these charges against
Mr.. Blackburn. and do not desire to be
drawn into this controversy, but since he
asserts that / had stated that | knew
nothing about these affidavits, and know
ing, as | do, that such charges were filed
against him, l authorize you to publish
this letter stating the facts.
yours very truly
