MRS. JOE PERSONS
RE. NJ DY
And He Never Took Hold Again. "

Some ten or twelve years ago lady in
this State was suffering from severe
hemorrhage of the womb. For years she
had been subject to almost continuous
dow, and at last she got into so low a
condition that she was confined to the
bed. All efforts OF the doctors failed to
check it, and finally two of the leading
physicians of her locality pronounced the
case cancerous. Her prostration was
great, and nothing seemed to reach her
;ase. One of her neighbors insisted Cd
her trying my Remedy and Wash. This
she would not do until she had consulted
her doctor. His reply was, when Mrs
Person takes hold, we turn loose; when
she turns loose, we take hold" However,
she concluded to try it. Without letting
anyone into the secret, she used my
wash copiously A great improvement
soon set in, and by it's continued use she
was soon we'll. She has been cured all
these years, and says she can never say
enough for Mrs. Joe Persons Wash.
The name of the lady will be given, if
desired upon application to ME.
Respectfully,
MRS. JOE PERSON,
October 6, 1900. Kittrell, N. C.

THE SUMS LATEST TRADE.

"An Old Soldier asks the New York
Sun if Lees name should be in the
Hall of Fame, and the Sun makes it
the occasion for the most offensive
and unjust editorial in that paper
which has been truly called ''the mean
est in America. 1t says that Lee was
guilty of "a capital military crime, a
crime against civnization." It calls
the selection of Lee "a weak and
mawkish sentimentality' and denies
that he is entitled to the veneration of
posterity," and closes it's TRADE by
saying:
"Hail to the Stars and Stripes! For
ever and always, death and confusion to
it's enemies!"
No admirer of Lee will feel offended
because the Sun dissents from the de-
cision of the foremost men of America.
Most of the men who made the selec-
ton are Northern scholars. They put
Robert +. Lee in the list with that
other great rebel, George Washington,
and their verdict will stand.
The Sun, which always walIows in
the mire and is at home only when
given the job Of mudslinging with
which ever party it has annexed itself
for the time being, is unable to I'M
derstand the breadth of Americanism
that holds Lincoln and Lee in honor
and glories in their achievements It's
types of greatness are Beast Butler
and Mark Hanna, fit representatives OF
the Suns Dugald Dalgettys methods
of journalistic warfare. q
So well is it understood that the
Sun shines only for what is most vi
cious in American life that its advo-
cacy of good man makes the public
suspicious of his character. It's TRADE
against good men, good morals and
good manners is so persistently mali
cious that it has no more influence
than the vulgar-mouthed fish woman
that paper of that character could
wish Lee held up ito inspire among
youth an emulation stimulating to
virtue" The Sun would prefer
to hold up Beast" Butler for "emula-
ton" 1t would say to the youth of
the country: Look at Butler. He
was fighter in war, he insulted good
women, he enriched himself with
spoons that belonged to others, he be-
trayed every party with which he was
connected, and closed his public career
by an attempt to defeat the candidate
Of the party to which he claimed ale
glance" That's the sort of men the
Sun would put in the Hall of Fame as
IAN emulation stimulating to manly
virtue and conducive to the perpetuity
of the Republic" rns

HOW THE STRIKE WAS ENDED

When the strike in Pennsylvania
first occurred, the Republican organs
published far and wide that it had
been instigated by the Democratic
managers who had been in secret con-
ference with Mr.. Mitchell. Now that
the miners have won the strike, those
Republican papers claim all the credit
for Hanna and the Republicans. There
is no truth that either party had any
thing to do with the strike. Mr.. Han
ma is in touch with the coal trust and
he said to them: Look here, boys,
the Homestead strike defeated Harri-
son. If you don't put an end to this
strike, Bryan will be elected. Then
where will you be? He will crush
your trust, secure competition and
your mammoth profits will be at an
end. See? Isn't it better to pay an
additional ten per cent in. wages foI
six months than to have your trust
outlawed? That's all there is in it,
You know Mckinley will stand by you
to the end. He will 60 to New Jersey
for trust-dominated Attorney Gen
eral, he will keep up high tariff, he
will give you everything you want to
keep up your trust. Don't you think
an additional ten per cent in wages fol
six months is a cheap way of buying
such legislation and protection? And,
besides if you refuse to hear me, even
if Mckinley wins you need ask nc
favors. You will then be a bad trust
We stand only by good trusts which
do as / say. And if Bryan should win
he would put your tail in split stick
and then -"
But before he could finish, j. Pier
pont Morgan was ready to undertake
to make the coal trust come down."
That is the story of how the strike
was ended.

Tn announcing the death of Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson, most of the papers put
it General Wilson, because he had
been Postmaster General. Mr.. Wilson
was scholar and statesman, but
was no General, and it is foolish use
of the term to apply to man who
has been Postmaster General or At
torney General. It ought to be reserv-
ed for men who win it in the military
service.

Republican Senator's to Discuss

Puerto Rican Legislation.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Repub-
lican senators will make another effort
in caucus Monday, at 4 D. m, to reach
an agreement upon line of policy to be
pursued with reference to Puerto Rican
legislation.
Previous to the caucus Senator Foraker.
who is in charge of the legislation, ex-
poets to secure the approval of the senate
committee on Puerto Rico for the separa-
ton Of the tariff feature from the gov
ernmental bill, with the view OF having
the senate pass upon the tariff question
distinctively from all other features of
the subject. The house bill IS a tariff
measure, simply, and with the separation
effected the next effort Will be to secure
legislation upon the basis Of the house
bill. The caucus is expected to deal with
the house bill, and the particular ques-
ton 1t is expected 10 decide is whether
the house bill shall be taken up as IL
came from the house or amended
There are two distinctive elements one
insisting that it shall be taken up as it
stands, and the other insisting that it
shall be amended to make it free trade
measure. The free trade men are acting
in harmony, and there would be little
doubt of the notifications of the bill
with the view of placating the free trad
ers, II there was any prospect of secur-
ing the concurrence of the house in the
amendments.
The caucus will have an opportunity
OF taking up the bill it stands or
amending It, taking the chances in the
latter case of having IT accepted by the
house. One of the amendments proposed
provides for a tariff. but leaves 1t optional
with the legislature to be established In
Puerto Rico to decide how long the sys-
tenn shall continue In force. Another
amendment proposed provides for the
present executive free list and its posi-
BILE enlargement.
It Is considered possible that these
amendments may be adopted but before
they are acted upon Senator Foraker will
impress upon the caucus the possibility
Of an adverse attitude on the part of the
house and Of deadlock between the two
bodies in case the amendment Is adopted
The extreme tariff men claim that they
will have votes sufficient to carry the
house bill unamended. The free traders,
on the other hand, claim fourteen Repub-
lican votes In opposition. which would be
sufficient to defeat the bill.
