that the striking machinists on the
Southern railway have taken up the
matter of their trouble with that road,
with Senator Mark Hanna, and hope
through his intercession to make some
terms which will bring the issue to a
close as favorably as possible. 1t is
said that Mr.. Hanna has been asked to
take up the matter with President Spen-
GER, of the Southern, and see what can
be accomplished in that direction.
After this date mail will be carried
over the Carolina Northern railroad and
a schedule will go into effect by which
trains on that road will make connection
with the Seaboard at that point The
change will be greatly appreciated as
will the greater regularity in the arrival

Everybody present realized the serious

the committee could see no way at pres
ent of solving the problem. Later he
sent for Mayor Collins and the two execu-

The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh resembling a hard cold and il
prompt treatment is applied at this time,
it can easily be broken up; one of the
best remedies at this stage is Stuart s
Catarrh Tablets, sold by druggists every
where. and if taken freely. say one tab
let every hour or two for two or three
days, the danger of pneumonia and seri-
Gus complications will be averted.
The Rev. l.. E. almer, Baptist clergy
man of Ceresco, Mich, makes state
ment of interest to all cataprm and grip
sufferers. He says: "Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have certainly been blessing
to me. have used them freely this fall

guard against La Grippe and catarrhal
troubles from which 1 hive suffered for
years 1 feel that l can freely and con-

Persons who suffer from catarrh of the

La Grippe and such will find a pleasant,
convenient and safe remedy in this new

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
entirely of harmless antiseptics and may
