GUN CLUB CONTEST.
Preparations For the Prize Shooting Tourna
ment at the Fair

Mr.. Z. p McKissick, of Asheville, di-
rector of the Gun Contests at the State
Fair, has effected arrangements for a
| shooting tournament at the Fair 1t
| is expected that lnere will be a lively
competition by representatives of the
various Gun vlubs in the State and
elsewhere, and the contest promises
to be one of the great features of the
Fair.
Full details of the programmes of
| different days and rules for the same
will be published in day or two, and
sent out this week. Mr.. Chas. II. Bel
vim, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer of
the Raleigh Gun Club, is perfecting
the local arrangements. One of the
most famous experts in the United
States in the management of such
tournaments, will be present to assist.
Among the manufacturing exhibits
this year there will be one from a
prominent clothing factory of the
State. Much money is now sent out
of the State for goods that might well
be made up at home, and this display
will be an object lesson.
In the line of attractions, the Com
pound Bicycle Merry go Round was
registered yesterday This is novel
ty that gives much satisfaction to the
participants. The patent is owned in
the South and it is operated by South
erners. 1t was prominent means of
amusement at Coney Island during the
season just closing.
Mr.. p. c. Enniss, who has just re-
turned from a posting tour, reports
great demand for premium lists,
and much enthusiasm for the Fair.
The attendance will be very large, es-
pecially SO from the districts within
reach by private conveyance, in adj
dition to that brought in by the spe-
cial and regular trains of the rail
roads.
The North Carolina School of the
Deaf and Dumb, which has secured
space for an exhibit, is that at Nor
canton, of which Prof. f.. Mex. Good
win is principal.
The North Carolina Institution for
the Blind, John E. Ray, principal, will
also be represented. These fine insti-
buttons are in better condition than
ever before, and what they do will be
creditable to the State.

NOT IMAGINARY.
A Common Disease, Which is by NJ
Means the Result of Imagination.

Common Disease, Which is by No
Means the Result of Imagination.
Undoubtedly many nervous people suf-
fer from troubles purely imaginary; dis
eases which exist only in the mind of
the patient, and such troubles furnish q
fertile field for the quack as well as for
faith healers and Christian Science
treatment.
However, there is one common and
annoying disease which is in no sense OF
the word imaginary, and that is Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need a physician
to tell them what is the matter; there
is no ohscurity about it, Neither will a
simple lotion or ointment cure it. You
cannot deceive a pile sufferer into be-
lieving he is being cured, because the
pain and itching from which he suffers
is not imaginary and cannot be cured by
imagination A pile remedy must have
unmistakable merit, it must relieve the
pain and cure the disease speedily or it
will be condemned.
Mr.. w N Dunn of 5719 Shields Ave,
Chicago, writes: 81 am indebted to the
Pyramid Pile Cure thousand times for
the speedy relief and permanent cure of
a severe case of piles. ] was cured PEI
fectly with one so cent box, and more
than that / still have three of the
Pyramids left of the box l did not need
to use.
81 think the Pyramid Pile Cure is the
grandest thing of the age and l shall
certainly recommend it to all sufferers.
"The manufacturers of the Pyramid
Pile Cure are at perfect liberty to refer
any person to me and | will gladly an
swer any correspondence. l am so CRATE
full for my cure that l want all pile suf-
ferers to find the same relief"
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents per box, and as it con-
tains no cocaine, opiate or any poison
whatever is entirely safe and reliable.

Magistrate NJ. b. Barbee had an In

night
Two white women living in the
Southern part of the city-Mrs. Mary

indicted for fighting, and these are
the facts brought out in the investiga-
ton: !

suit of male attire and went out with
the boys"

were Haywood Stokes and others from
the Caraleigh Mills.
While doing the town." they filled
up on bad booze and on their return
homeward made things lively in the
Mills factory section of the city.
Mr.. Anthony T. Lowry had not re
turned from ''up town." and his anN-
iolls spouse at home heard the ''whoop-
in an hollerin' " and suspected that
Anthony might be in the gang. She
knew. she said his fondness for drink
and lyin' out So she put on her
bonnet and went out to look for her
lord and master.

and master" unconscious of impend-
ing danger, declared that he had plen-
ty of money and liquor, too" and as
he did so he passed the bottle and

Lowry used her fists and then both
pulled hair, until Haywood Stokes
joined in. helping Paxton. BY this
|" time Lowry had come to his senses
and found his feet, and seeing his wife
attacked by two he made for Stokes.
Stokes whipped out his knife and
cut a deep and ugly cash in Lowry>s
side, then in company with the Fax
ton woman, made off for home. He is
still at large.
The Paxton woman was found guilty
and Judgment suspended on payment
of costs. Judgment was reserved in
case of the Lowry woman.
Were you ever dressed in a man S
clothes before?" the Paxton woman
was asked after the trial.

to go out with the boys | put on
mans clothes.''

Not often, unless | want them to. :
