sued. MacFarlaine retired into the no.

Drying preparations simply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secre-
tions which adhere to the membrane
and decompose, causing far more
serious trouble than the ordinary form
of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants
and use that which cleanses, soothes
ksnd heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such
a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold

General Wheeler a Splinter.

Augusta Chronicle.
General Joe Wheeler, 1.-the and
agile as a panther, stepped %jaunt-
lily from a a on Capitol Hill and
tripped eff toward the big build
ing at a lively gait. A middle
aged congressman, an unidenti-
fed Alabama admirer, and a fat,
squat porter, large of girth and
of jowj, tried to keep up with the
little grizzled old fighter. The
sun was boiling hot and the as
phalt walk had become soft and
sponge under the blistering sky.
The general quickened his pace
from the start, and before he
had made half the distance he
was running. The unidentified
Alabama admirer gave up the
chase in a jify. The fat, squat
reporter soon followed suit. The
middle-aged congressman found
it convenient to halt at the nod
of a friend who was going in the
opposite direction. General
Wheeler dashed on into the big
building at a full run. When the
corpulent journalist had sufici-
entity regained his breath to ar
ticulate he said to the unidenti-
fed Albanian: "If General
Wheeler ran that fast in his pur-
suit of Aguinaldo I don't see
why he didn't catch him. How
does the old man keep so
active, anyhow" The question
only intensified the Alabama
visitors admiration for the IA
nous little general. "Gosh,
man" calculated the Albanian
between gasps, "Joe Wheeler
takes a bath every day."

est for US attaches to this
modern Mecca of agricultural
and Industrial adventure. It is
the home of a civilization so an.
Gent that the only records we
have of it are in images, strange
and fancifu], cut in stone, Amid
all the babble and strife for
wealth and power the sturdy
Frog Ponder has stuck to the
soil, content with what grew
wild over the surface--for he
never was known to work.
During the long dry spell the
biped varmint of the hopping per-
suasion from which Frog Pond,
even before its Incorporation,
took it's name have all hoped
away in search of water, and their
entire absence has become SO no
ticeable that some of the more
progressive citizens of the town,
who are SO thoroughly partial to
the place that they believe in
promptly rosenting anything that
has even the appearance of a slight
to their burg, are now moving to
have the name of the town
changed. They say that if the
frogs don't want to stay at Frog
Pond, after having the town named
for them they can go to-well,
they are in earnest about changing
the name of Frog Pond.
The Rambler, at one time,
thought himself proof against
writing politics in this column,
but good politics means good
government, and as we are-all
of us-interested in good govern
ment, it is incumbent upon every
citizen to be a 'color-bearer," so
to speak, in the great battle that
is now on and which will culmin-
ate in August at the polls, when
the fate Of the Amendment is to
be decided.
The success of the Amendment
means good government for
North Carolina for all time. It
means the elimination of the ne
gro as a political factor in our
State, and thereby gives the
white men of the State freer OPP
portunity to discuss public is
sues on their merits, and on a
basis of intelligence and politi-
cal economy.
Vote for the Amendment.
