Editor James Mahon. of the Sunday

who has shown and is every day more
fully demonstrating that he is entitled
to a place we'll up among the first of
the generation on which the Electric
City must soon expect to rely for the
culture of the prosperity which the
fathers have planted for it.
With brains and Drawn as the chief

he took hold of the Free Press when
it was on the verge of collapse and by
the exercise of good business judgment
and unspalring toll gradually but
steadily brought the property out of
the slough into which it had been
allowed to sink and made of it a pay

the day and, while this policy is not
conducive to rapid growth in the mat

FOR THE WILSON NORMAL.
Elder P D. Gold of Wilsc Addresses the Com
mittee on Education.

The Joint Committee on Education was
addressed last night by Elder p. d. Cold
of Wilson, on behalf of the proposed Nor
NAL school at that place Mr. Cold
urged the appropriation of IS 900 for the
Normal, saying il would do vast good in
the east, where better prepared teachers
would make better aducated children in
a four months school than poor teachers
in a ten months school.
He described the handsome buildings
offered by Wilson, and addressing Mr..
McIver. who was present, told him that
he was not antagonizing his school. but
that as he understood the Normal at
Greensboro was unable to accommodate
all who asked TO come; that Wilson could
take care of some of them. Many poor
girls in the East, Mr.. Gold said. who are
unable to stand the expense of going TO
Greensboro. can be prepared in Wilson.
He closed by saying that as the West had
Cullowhee. the Central portion Of the
State Greensboro; that the East should
be recognized and aided by a Normal at
Wilson.

The bin provides for legalized white

WHY so MANY FAIL.
The Reason So Many Catarrh Remedies
cre Unsuccessful.

cre Unsuccessful.
There are few troubles for which there
are so many remedies and so called
cures" as for catarrh and it may be ad-
ded there ere few diseases so difficult 10
really and permanently cure.
Inhalers, sprays. powder and doucbes
are all applied locally and give tempor-
airy relief often for only few hours.
and it is doubtful if anything like a real
cure of catarrh was ever accomplished
by the use of local applications
Catarrh is constitutional disease, ii is
in the blood like rheumatism and 10 cure
it requires an internal medicine to act
upon the blood to drive out the catarrhal
poison from the system entirely and any
one can readily see that salye or powder
or inhaler which simply clears off the
membrane of the nose and throat can have
no effect on the real cause of catarrhal
disease.
The remarkable success of the new ca
tarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is
because il drives ont of the system
through The natural channels the ca
tarrhal poison. the germs of grip, bron-
chitis and consumption and causes the

The remedy is in the form of large &c
grain lozenges, pleasant and palatable

them with perfect safety and benefit il

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have been on
the market scarcely one year yet they
have met with such popularity and sue

in stock and report a constantly increas-
ing demand for them.
