N PUBLIC FAVOR,

A Remedy for the Cure of Piles Which
has Met With Remarkable Success.
There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in America.
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics,
headache powders, dyspepsia cures and
cough cures which are sold in every drug
store.
But all of these must divide popularity
with many rivals, no one remedy has the
field to itself. with the single exception
OF pile cures for it is singular fact,
that among the most OF remedies, there
is but one pile cure that can be considered
as having national reputation, without
a rival and the remedy referred to is the
Pyramid Pile Cure, which for seven years
has steadily worked into public favor, by
reason OF it's extraordinary merit and
method and a record of remarkable cures,
until it is known from Maine to California
and from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is true there are many pile remedies
having a small local reputation for year
OF two, but the Pyramid Pile Cure has
rapidly supplanted them all and really
has the field to itself when anything
like national popularity is considered
The explanation is simple 1t Is because
piles is in no sense an imaginary trouble,
that simple salye or ointment will cure,
but an obstinate, painful and often dan-
gerous trouble and remedy to give sat
isfaction must possess positive and very
apparent merit. person suffering from
piles will not experiment for months
with a remedy; it must give relief and
cure in short order or it is condemned.
The worst cases OF piles are relieved on
the first application, and being in slpposi-
tory form is convenient with daily occu-
patton.
Medical men use it in preference to SIR
gical operations because it is safe and
painless, and the cost, compared to bene-
fit given is mere trife as all druggists
sell it at so cents.
If suffering from any form of piles,
bleeding itching or protruding, a trial OF
the Pyramid Pile Cure, will cure you and
add another to its thousands of friends.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON A NEW BOOK

THE Southampton Insurrection" by Mr..
W. S. Drewry deserves more than pass

many facts of interest and some sugges-
items worthy of consideration.
recruiting the charge that slavery was
the first cause Of the South's slow prog
ress in the use of mechanical appliances.
the author says: Nor was the slave sec
ton a laggard in generous progress. In
education, politics, and industry the
South took the first stand. The first
steam locomotive IN America was run
over short road built from Charleston
to Augusta through the rice and cotton
fields of South Carolina and Georgia
while the second one started from Balti-
more over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
way. Both were in that section of the
country where slavery existed Also the
FIRST message by the magnetic telegraph
was sent in 1874, from Baltimore to
Washington. The first steamer, THE Sa-
vannah.'' sailed across the Atlantic from
Savannah. Ga.
The insurrection occurred during
period of unrest and strife which af-
fected Europe and America, and even por-
tions of Asia and Afrca-illustrating the
views that the negro is susceptible TO the
Influences which move the human race
in 81 countries.
When South Carolina prepared for war
in 1928 and the whole South sympathiz-
ed with her. thereby forcing compromise
with the General Government, the negro,
TOO, became excited. In point OF priyi-
lege he was at that time nearer TO his
master than he was at any period after
wards until his emancipation. The sedl-
ton OF the abolitionists had not rendered
necessary legislation hostile to such ad-
vancement as the negrO's condition ana
capacity permitted. He was trusted. lit
tie feared, and very rarely hated the
crime against the white race now so COM
mon with little opportunity, was then
almost unknown with suDerabundant OPP
portunity. Still. be it remembered, the
insurrection showed that the negro even
then was capable of outrages when led
by the crafty or fanatical Nat Turner
and John Brown were born in the same
year. No one can failed TO be impressed
with the similarity of their characters
and methods. and. If to either. then the
Northern people should erect monuments
and statutes to both: "Old Nat made
the beginning and John Brown the begin
ming of the end
The scene of Nat Turner's insurrection
was in that part of southampton county,
Virginia, which lies between the road
from Weldon to Petersburg, and the road
from Weldon to Portsmouth. The rail-
roads follow pretty generally in the wake
of the old stage lines, so 'Old Nat had
lived al his life between two lines Of
Northern and Southern communities,
within a few miles of either, and in this
way. doubtless. became subject to the
same Influences which moulded the char
acter OF John Brown nearly thirty years
later. The same influence probably drew
one of Mats neighbors, Gen. George H.
Thomas, to the Northern side in the war
between the States. He showed some of
this negro's genius if not his hatred OF
their native section. for he gained the

Many interesting facts are collated, but

that the negro, the same in nature that

like halo in which there appeared the

c'asped as in prayer and face upliftcd.
From the crossed hands hung ro-
sary.
Miss Kane, with scream, dropped
to her knees in half faint. In the
