STARTS WITH A COLD.
Catarrh is a Lingering Cold Which re-
fuses, to Yield to Ordinary Treatment

fuses to Yield to Ordinary Treatment.
C&isarrh usually starts with a cold in
the head and if left unchecked in this
climate rarely gets well of Itself
AS fresh cold is taken the disease
spreads, getting deeper and deeper creep
ing along the mucous membrane from
nose to throat, from throat to windpipe,
from windpipe to bronchial tubes and
from bronchial tubes TO lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect,
one with another. Hence it is easy to
spread from one part to another lined
with this same membrane. This is why
catarrh in the head soon affects the
throat and finally the stomach itself,
bringing on chronic ca@rrh of the stom-
ach, which is a most obstinate form of
dyspepsia.
Everybody is now we'll agreed that ca
tarrh is blood disease and not local
one, and the attempt ito cure by local
applications simply gives temporary re-
lief from the purely local symptams with
out the remotest effect in staying the
progress of the disease.
There is new preparation recently
offered to the public that is apparently
destined to do away with every other
form OF catarrh treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret patent
medicine, but is large, pleasant tasting
tablet composed of Sauguiharia, Eucalyp-
toll, Guaiacol, Hydrastin and other valua-
Bile and harmless specifics, which are
taken internally and seem to have a re-
markedly beneficial effect upon the blood
and mucous membranes, apparently elm
mating the catarrhal poison from the
whole system.
These tablets while being pleasant, con-
venient and absolutely safe to use have
made cures in long standing cases of ca
tarrh that are little short of marvellous.
They are sold by druggists under name
OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any suf-
ferer who has tried inhalers, lotions. ONT
ments, salves, etc, and realized their in
convenience and uselessness will fully
appreciate the difference between q mere
palliative and a permanent cure after
giving Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an impair
tial trial
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized package and no matter where
the catarrh is located, in the head, throat,
lungs or stomach, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's will surprise you with the effective
results OF even few days use.

Biltmore's Prize Hog Killed,
Special to News and observer.)

Asheville, N. c., October 15.-George
w. Vanderbilt lost his fine prize-winning
boar yesterday.
On Friday the Biltmore farms exhibit
returned here from a grand circuit of
State Fairs. including Shelbyville, KY;
Columbus, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and
st. Louis. While the hogs were being un-
loaded at the piggery, on the Biltmore
estate, the mules attached to one of the
wagons became frightened and dashed
away throwing out the crate containing
Highelere Topper, the famous prize-win-
ner, which was killed.
Highelere Topper was the finest hog on
the estate and was valued at $500. He
was the undisputed champion of America
and England, having won prizes wherever
he was taken He had just won at all of
the State fairs in the closest competition.
The estate office has received a tele-
gram from Atlanta. in which it is said
that the Biltmore poultry had won twice
as many prizes as all other competitors
put together.

FIRST DISTRICT SAFE.
The Republicans Are in a
Big Middle.
They Have Two Candidates For Congress ar
Two For EIector, and They Will
Fleet None.

Especial to the News and Observer
Swan Quarter. N. c.. October 1.-THE
First district is in fine shape. Hon. John
II. Small the Democratic nominee Tor
Congress, is making a complete canvass
of the district with Mr.. Isaac M. Meek
ms, one of the Republican candidates for
Congress. There are at present two Re-
publican nominees for Congress in the
district, and two Republican nominees for
Presidential elector.
! Mr.. G. L. Alternately, the bright young
man who is stumping this district for
Bryan, as candidate for elector. and VINO
at no distant day will doubtless receive
high party honors, is here. He was seen
by News and Observer representative
and asked
What are the Republicans doing in
this district"
"Mr l. NJ Meekins." said he, claims
to be the regular nominee for Congress,
and he is backed by his father, leading
Republican in Tyrrell. and also by Cobb,
of Elizabeth City, and DR.. John, editor
OF the Caroinian at the same place Ser
ry, the Republican chairman of Hyde, mas
has promised Meekins the support OF the
Hyde county Republicans. and Johnson,
Republican, of Belhaven, Beaufort county,
has promised to split the Beaufort county
Republican vote for Meekins. Mr.. ID. O.
Newberry, of Columbia, is the elector
nominated by the Meekins crowd. On the
other hand Duncan and the revenue ring
have nominated at their recent convenr
tion DR. Alexander. of Tyrrell, for Con-
gress and T. g. Wilcox, Of Elizabeth City
for elector. The fight is on for suprema-
cy within the party ranks, between Dun
can and Meekins. Meekins contends he
will not cone down. and the Duncanites
are equally as firm. Just what the out
come of this fight will be and whether
they will patch I'D their differences be-
tween now and the election remains to
be seen
What do you think of our chances"
II have spoken in the counties of Per-
quimans, Uhowan, Pasquotank, Camden,
Hartford, Gates. Tyrrell, Washington,
Beaufort and Hyde and find the Demo-
cratic organization in each of these coun-
ties in excellent working shape. Col. w.
B. Rodman, the wide-awake chairman of
the Congressional committee is sending
prominent speakers into nearly every
county in the district, and this good work
is being supplemented by speakers sent
out by the State committee"
"How will Mr.. Small rum"
''Mr. Small is making a great canvass.
In my judgment the district will give
Bryan and Stevenson a majority ranging
from $500 to 5000. and Congressman
Small will be elected by at least that
much majority if not more. Sub-electors
have been appointed in nearly county, and
in most instances are actively at work
for the party" r.

MIST HAVE CORK HELMETS.

Army officers were considerably sur-
prised at reading dispatches of the stf-
ferings of the American troops in China,
from the heat, on account of their hats.
1t was the belief that the regiments
sent to China had been equipped with
cork helmets and that their campaign
hats had been discarded. The heat of the
sun is dangerous, but overwhelming of the
digestive organs is even more so. To
overcome irritation and other stomach
troubles there is nothing to equal Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. No matter how
long you have suffered from constipation,
indigestion dyspepsia. liver and kidney
troubles, the Bitters will cure you. 1t
also creates a hearty appetite and is an
excellent tonic for the nerves. Try it.
