THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as ANY Other.

Just as Easy 70 cOIm Do AAy StAOA'
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits but. they are unconsciously ac-
ouired, and grow as we grow, and by
the time we learn they are hurting u.s.
we find them too sti ong to be easily
broken.
Then why not form a good habit,
habit which will conteract the many
bad ones, in other words contract the
questionable habit Of being always
well.
The best health haEit to get into IS
TO have and keep d vigorous stomach;
if YOU have a healthy digestion you can
drink your beloved coffee, smoke your
favorite brand of tobacco, with little or
no harm; the mischief begins wheI
these things are forced upon the faith
full stomach, without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after heals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such digest
ives and when they ere combined IN
such a pleasant prepar alton as stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the over
worked stomach just the necessary as
sistance to secure perfect digestion
without any of the harmful effects OIL
cathartics and similar drugs
The habit of taking Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself, and
indeed to get the benefit from 1000
eaten, nothing better and certainly
nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuarts Iap-
let's as essential in the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
gestive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs; they have
no cathartic action, but simply go to
work on the food eaten and digest it.
Take into account had habits and the
expense they entail end then invest
fifty cents in a box Of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and see e your digestion for
the next month is not vastly improved.
AS the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popu-
lar stomach remedy and he will say
Stuart'S.

THEN AND NOW.

One of the funniest things that has
appeared in any of the State papers
about the impeachment trial is this
paragraph about Governor Jarvis in an
article by Mr.. Howard A. Banks in the
Charlotte Observer:
when a great head rises up in North
Carolina politics, sad to say, it prompt
ly gets cracked by the shilallahs with
which the office-hungry little fellows
all go loaded. Along with the cotton
farmer of Northampton and the white
supremacy pioneer of the Cape Fear
Senator Jarvis has been laid on the
shelf to make way tor the newer and
the lesser breed of the presented day poll
tician''
If Mr.. Banks will read the Charlotte
Observers editorial pages in 1894, 1896
and 1898, it will learn what office
hungry little fellows it was who ira
duced Governor Jarvis and laid him on
the shelf" No man in North Cardinals
history has been more venomously as
sailed than the Charlotte Observer has
past half dozen years. Why does it
praise him now? Simply because, as
counsel for the impeached Justices, he
the Observer thinks nc is helping it in
it's consistent advocacy of Republican
and Republican principles. Do you see?
The venerable Governor cannot but re-
sent the praise of the paper that has
scurrilously abused MIN for more than
six years. That paper and
other assistant Republicans are trying
to discredit the Democratic Legislature.
That's their programme, and if Gov
ernor Jarvis will recall the abuse he
has received from tie Observer when
he bravely stood against Republicanism
he will not trust the Greeks bearing
gifts

YESTERDAYS SPEECHES.

Three speeches were made yesterday
in the impeachment trial. Mr.. Lind
sey Patterson, of Winston, spoke first
for the defense, and made a clear-cut,
finished and able presentation of the
case for his clients. He was followed by
Col Theo. f. Davidson, of Asheville,
of the counsel for the prosecution. He
pitched his argument on a high plane
and his speech was one of ability and
force and made profound impression
upon all who heard his magnificent
speech. On all sides words of praise
were heard of his effort. Col. Davidson
more than met the high expectation
of his warmest friends. After Col. Dav
idson had concluded, Mr.. Fabius H.
Busbee of the counsel for the defense.
began his argument in his bright and
scintillating vein, accompanied with
enough of reflection upon the Senate
and upon the press that believe the
justices are guilty of violating the Con-
stitution as to weaken the brilliance of
the argument.

SENATOR E. L. TRAVIS OF HALIFAX.

There are but few of the younger forces
in the Democratic party of North Caro-
lima who have shown such capacity for
wise and successful leadership as Hon:
Edward l.. Travis. the Senator from
Halifax
Mr.. Travis does not impress himself
upo nhis compeers by much speaking, in
deed he speaks but little, but when he
does speak his colleagues listen, for while
he talks plainly there is force in what
he says. He speaks generally without
much gesture or the slightest affectation,
but there is food for healthy conservative
and wholesome thought in every sentence
he utters.
He is a small man in statue, modest
almost as woman in his manner. as
quiet in his general demeanor as a piece
OF steel. but when aroused he is as
piercing as steel sword of two edges.
He began his legislative career two
years ago as a State Senator from Hall
fax and in less than two weeks after nc
had taken his seat he N..S recognized
leader; and the older and more experience
ed men were acknowledging his superior
wisdom and ability. He had by his cour-
ageous and splendid leadership as chair
man of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Halifax county fought back the
black and tan volume of fusion that had
engulfed his county for four years, and
he came to Raleigh with the prestige Of
magnificent fighter and the winner of an
undisputed and splendid victory He was
thrown into the tangle of the State
prison management elected chairman of
it's executive board and together with
his associates. Messrs. W. H. Osborn and
w. G. Newland, charged with the adjust
ment of its big fusion debt. He worked
assiduously, earnestly and wisely for the
accomplishment of healthy and whole
some results and to him is largely due
the good results that followed.
He was reelected chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of Hall
fax, was renominated for the Senate,
planned and conducted such a campaign
in his county during the summer of 1900
as to enlist nearly every white man in
his county and completely disorganlze and
wreck the opposing forces, returning to
the Senate by an unprecented majority.

and the blockadinG fleet.
Immediately upon his return from the
naval service in the Spanish war the
Wilmington riots broke out and he had
joint command of the naval and infantry
forces that quoted Wilmington. His
portions of the duty was in that part of
the city in which all of the disorders oc-
Cured, and his previous service well
fitted him for the duty He was so public
spirited that he sent his family to the
hotel and quartered three companies OF
| soldies in his house during the riot, pro-
visioning them at his own expense.
Senator Morton made a thorough cam
paigp for the amendment and White
I supremacy, and his election as Senator
was a deserved recognition. He was
chairman Of the Committee on Claims

NEGRO DIsFRANCHIsEMENT

In a recent letter to a friend in Ala
bama, Senator Morgan wrote:
Since / last saw you the whole coun-
try has made a great and rapid advance
in the direction of negro disfranchise-
ment.
Maryland has seen her opportunity and
has FASTENED to profit by it. When things
are coming our way there is no necessity
for clamorous discussion until they are
settled, lest some one might interrupt. So
l think the least said is the best just
now on the negro question. Those peo-
pie will begin TO draw off to the Philip
pines at an early day. They are already
going to Hawaii and we shall soon find
some for white people i nthe South
Then we shall be free and happy peo-
pie"
