THE MAN OF THE HOUR

In advocating the claims of Hon.
F. NJ. Simmons for the Senate. the
Elizabeth City Economist SAYS we
need to select poor man. one who
knows the necessities of the ordinary
every day people of the State. and
one who Is in touch with their intirm-
tiles. Simmons, who is a leader in
the State. knows the State from
mountain to seashore. and is quail
tied by experience in Congress and
by political experience III the State
10 do his whole duty by the people. y
And it may be added further that
AT this particular juncture Mr.. Sim
mons services are needed in the Sem
ate. When the enemies of the State
and white mans rule are determined
upon making bitter tight against
our Constitutional amendment and
putting us back into condition worse
than the first (to which the people OF
North Carolina have sworn never
again TO >ubmi) the man of all Others
who is best qualified to stand in the
Senate is the champion and defender
of his people is the bold, courageous,
resOurceful, well equipped, State

AS TO WEBSTER'S ATTACK.

The Gold,boro .1ryus referring to
the attack Of WcbStcr.S Weekly upon
Mr.. Simmons, which it characterizes
"a unwarrantcd and disreputablc,
says:
Web>tcr'S attack upon Mr.. simmons
deals largely with the noted contro-
vcrsy between Mr.. Simmons, and
Marion Butler in Grantham township,
thi, county, several years ago, in
which Butler was 50 completely an
initiated by Mr.. Simmons, that the
Democracy Of Grantham will ever
look upon the occasion "a the Red
Letter day Of all their splendid his
tory. and the best evidence Of the
complete triumph of Mr. Simmons
Butler and Webster in their reports
to the contrary outstanding
that Grantham Democrats say that
every Democrat in their township is
going to vote for him for United
: ates Senator. without rejecting on
any other candidate, uSt TO show
their high and lasting appreciation Of
his ''trimming up Butler to their
satisfaction on that memorable Occas-
ion.
For any man (?) to attack Mr.. Sim
mons based on what Marion Butler
had to say Of him is cause, in this day
and generation, for the appointment
Of a commission dc lunatico iNqHtrcndO
to sit on his case.
Mr.. Webster quotes largely from
the Cn"rn&ians report of that contr"-
vcrsv. rs if it were truthful report.
when every one familiar with the
facts we'll remembers that the CnurdS-
inns report was Il fabrication Of false
hoods from beginning to end. and
was 50 branded publicly in these col
umns at the time and thoroughly ex-
posed through the State press.

Conference at Hamilton, Ohio, last

ed the place where we can say we are
considering whether wc Will let the
white man stay in this country or
not"
There YOU have it. Wonder how
LONG the white man is to be kept in
suspense before he knows definitely
whether he may stay in this country
or not? Will not Bishop Grant be
good enough to hasten the ''consider-

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and Grandmothers never
thought of using anything else for lndi-
gestion or Bliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Apperl-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate the ac.
ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and her aches.

MINOR MENTION.

MINOR MENltON.
The Carolina mill men, representing the
Southern Cotton Spinners Association
who went to Philadelphia last week to
confer with the Yarn Merchants Associa-
ton committee of commission men and ar
range new schedule of yarn prices, have
returned. An increase OF 6 and I cents a
pound was made in the price of the man
ufactured prOduct-due to the increased
price OF raw cotton.
Chairman Simmons made several
speeches last week-at Asheville, Char
lOtte and where-fOr the Democratic
National ticket and Congressional can
didates. He did not refer to his own can
didacy for the Senate at all, but the gen.
tlemen who introduced him did SO (Of
their own volition. the dispatches state)

proval by the audience followed. The
other candidates are still making AN
active personal canvass of the State.
Preparations for the greatest State fair
now nearly perfected. The fair will open
two weeks from to-day ION Monday in
stead of Tuesday this year,, and con-
tinue every day during the week In ad-
dition the grounds will be brilliantly il
Illuminated by electricity and the gates
opened to visitors at night. There will
be fireworks balloon ascensions, circuses
and 'shows'' and the whole "midway''
will be in full blast at night. No one can
afford to miss the State fair this year.
Railroad rates cut half in two, boarding
houses and hotels here will maintain low
prices, and every inducement is offered all
who choose to come-and thousands and
tens of thousands of visitors from all
over the State will be here each day.
Very little is known or heard of the
proposed estate convention OF the Mid
le-of-the-ROad Pops, advertised to meet
here on Thursday of this week. The
chances are that it will be a slimly at
tended affair, if it materializes at all.
1t is announced from Democratic head
quarters that the registration books for
the National election will be open from
Monday, October 22nd, till sunset OF
Saturday, October 9th. The same regis
trars and poll-holders who served August
will serve at the ensuing election.
Raleigh will entertain the Daughters OF
the Confederacy this week. the occasion
being their fourth annual convention.

VIGOROUS ACTION OF COTTON MANUFAC-
TURERs.
The recent organization of local
unions among cotton mill operatives
in a number OF mill towns, and from
which have eminated dissensions and
trouble with operatives the officials
claim. has caused very vigorous action
on the part of the Alamance county mill
owners. Last week all the operatives in
the three mills at Haw River quit work
because the demand for the discharge of
an overseer in one mill was refused, and
the mills (the hands in two striking out
OF sympathy have since been idle. All
these operatives belong to the Haw River
union.
The mill owners of Haw River. Bur
lington and, it is said, all the mills in
Alamance county. have now posted
notices to the effect that all operatives
who belong to unions will be discharged
unless they sever all connections there
with by October 18th; that after that
date only non-union hands will be en-
ployed. A big fight is therefore in pros
pect.

Slight gausas Often Produce Serious Re-
 suits to Mems Health.
 The various ways in which 8 colo may be brought on are thus described by Dr. J II. Kellogg. "A little -snife blade of air blowing in through crack in window upon some part of the body will chill that part and the blood vessels of that region will be- come contracted. affecting somewhere In the interior of the body an area in reflex relation with this portion of the surface Of the body. For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top Of ehe shoulders and the chest ore asso- eiated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to ehe blood vessels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to tho blood vessels of the lungs. If there Is Q contraction of the blood vessels of tho back Of the neck there will be contraction of the blood vessels of the noss and throat, and if there is contraction of the blood vessels of the 4op of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there wifi also be a contraction Of the blood vessels of the lungs When the influence Of the cold is con- tinued this contraction is followed by congestion. When one puts his hands into cold water. for few minutes they are first pale and then red This Is re- action. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and 1he congestion. So If the back of the neck is exposed for long time to tho influence Of cold one is likely to have 3 cold in the nose and throat; fl the shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed one is likely to take cold In the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold is long continued fta may cause not only a congestion but an inflammation Of the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled weakness of the bladder may result il there has ever been q trouble there. or weakness of the stomach if there has been tatars1 oe that organ"

TEE GATES OF GIBRALTAR.
Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them

Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them
 at Sundowne
 Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar Is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys. looking very like prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of military guard, preceded by regl- mental band. which plays inspiring ga~ miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Britain In guarding her prime military treasure. On arriving at the gates, the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- bled peal of triumph. while the great doors slowly swing to. and are solemn y locked for the night Then right about turn,aRd the procession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys in the governors keeping, conveying by its passage an assurance to the peo~ pie and garrison that they may rest in peace, Once the gates are shut it were easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthor- 1zed person to go into Gibraltar. Even & belated officer returning from pig atieRing beyond the lines would be con- fronted by so many fornaalities and the necessity of inconveniencing so high personages that he would probably prefer to encounter the discorofort of Spanish inn without.
