The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist,

There is a disease prevailing In this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused BY
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney. bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases. after all other
efforts have failed. AT druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
BY mail. also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address

From Caucasian Oct. 49,

The following affidavit made by
James III. Pou, ex-Chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, during the last campaign,
will be interesting reading. Our
readers will remembe that when
ever and wherever it was charged
in the last campaign that if the
Democratic machine under Sim
mons got control Of the State, that
they would offer a scheme to dis
franchise illitterate votes, that the
charge was indignantly denied and
denounced by every Democratic
speaker as being UNANIMOUSLY false.
Even Mr.. Simmons, the Democrat
ic State Chairman, issued an offici-
al statement to the voters of the
State, branding every such charge
as false in toto; saying that that
campaign lie had been charged
against the Democratic party be-
fore, and that the charge was now
so old and so false that no one
would believe it.
Mr.. James II. Pou, the ex-Chair-
man Of the State Democratic Com
mittee, in his speeches made the
same declaration. But it seems
that in one of his speeches in Moore
county, some members of his audi
dience expressed doubt of the truth
OF his indignant denial, and called
upon him while upon the stand to
know il he would make an affida-
Wit to that effect. He publicly
agreed to do so, we are informed.
The result is the affidavit below,
made at Raleigh, dated Oct. 18th,
1898. 1t will be noticed that Mr.
POu, shrewd, slick and cunning as
he is, attempted to word his affida
Wit so as not to say explicitly what
he had said publicly on the stump,
and yet at the same time, to say
enough to make it appear that his
affidavit had made good his cam.
paign declaration, and fool the vo-
ters into accepting his statement
and voting for the machine.
The following Is a true copy OF
the affidavit:
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
County of Wake.
James n. Pou, being duly sworn
deposes and says:
81 have never said that, if the
Democrats regained control of the
State, they intended to disfranchise

ters 1 never have said anything
like this, and 1 know that such is
not the intention of the Democrat.

such a sentiment, and l do not be.
lieve. if such proposition comes
before the General Assembly, that
it would receive single Democrat
lc vote. 1 believe that a majority Of
the uneducated white voters Of
North Carolina are Democrats. The
Democratic party is appealing t(
them for aid in preserving white
supremacy in the center west anC
in restoring it in tho Eastern par
of this State. They are responding
to our appeal, and to repay the an(
their aid with disfranchise;m mar
Of their votes would be folly forv
ingrattiude indeed. The men
who makes these charges knon
they speak falsely, but their cam
paign this year is run upon tn
idea that the people of North Car
olina would rather believe a false
hood than the truth, and the.
would rather hear libels upon til
honored dead than to hear argu

WORK OF TOWNSHIP COMMITTEES.

the Result.
Hickory-Times Mercury

1t will be the duty OF the precinct
committees to begin work as soon as
possible and get together. This will
be the most important work OF the
campaign. For everything depends
upon the interest taken by these COM
mittees. We know it will be a busy
season of the year for farmers and that
may have been one of the reasons for
having the campaign in midsummer.
For it is the farmers the ring politi-
clans are afraid of. But the farmers
can raise something else hotter than
onions and pepper for the boys this
year and not lose much time from
their other crops if they will go at it
right. So get together often and ex-
change plans and ideas and adopt the
most effective one, and all quietly but
determinedly go to work and never
let up or stop till the last vote is
counted and the returns are signed
and announced

Some Things the Democratic Convention
Showed to the Cause of Education.

Showed to the Cause of Education.
LIST. That the teaching profess
ion has little or no influence with
the Democratic politicians as prac-
tically all of the professions en-
dorsed Superintendent Mebane.
I'd. That the Democratic press
in the State has little influence,
If the Democratic editors meant
w at they have said in advocating
the nomination Of superintendent
Mebane.
3D.. That meritoriOus service, and
the cause Of education is considered
as nothing by the Democratic pol
iticians in comparison with party
politics and party service.
4th.-That the educational work
has been thrown back into the cess
pool Of politics, as the Democratic
machine has sent Mr.. Toon, the
nominee for Superb ntendent of Pub
lie Instruction out in the campaign
with the other candidates.
9Th That this is backward step
as Superintendent Mebane never
missed a single recitation during
the campaign of 1896, and never
made political speech in his life

To secare a Constant Egg Yield.


The hardest task Ia maintaining a
constant and continuous egg yield Is
to keep the laying stock In prime con
dition. This means such condition of
perfect health that the eggs will not
only be laid regularly. but that they
will be of uniform size, according TO
the breed laying them. Under such
conditions we should have large eggs
fro,l Minorcas, Leghorns. Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmas. When such breeds
lay small eggs. abnormally large eggs
with perhaps double yolks or soft
she''hd eggs. the stock is out OF condi-
ton I'D usually overfat. The eggs Will
thus be laid irregularly, and many
times laying will stop entirely. Layers
should be kept active, and activity is
induced by short feeding. hungry
hen is usually good layer.

your honor win be pleased enough to
observe, is not like a widow OF your
honor's country. 4 widow of this coun-
try is not able 10 eat more than one
meal DAY or TO wear clean clothes or
TO look after a man. So my poor client
has not such physic or mind as to be
able TO assault the lusty complainant.
Yet she has been deprived OF some of
her more valuable leather-the leather
of her nose.
MY Learned friend has thrown only
an argument ad hominy upon my teeth
that my clients witnesses are all her
own relations. But they are not near
relations. Their relationship is only
homeopathic. So the misty arguments
of my learned friend win D1t hold wa
ter. AT least, they will not hold good
water. Then my learned friend has said
that there is on the side of his client a
respectable witness-namely. pleader,
and. since this witness is independent,
so he should be believed. But your
honor. with your honor's vast expert
ence, is pleased enough TO observe that
truthfulness is not so plentiful as black
berries in this country. And | am
sorry to say, though this witness is a
man of my own features. that there are
in my profession black sheep of every
complexion, and some OF them do not
always speak gospel truth. Until the
witness explains what'have become of

believed. He cannot be allowed to raise

bush. So, trusting in that adminlstra-
ton Of British justice on which the
