A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sum-"


All Doctors have tried TO cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes, causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely eaten
away the same membrane that their
makers have aimed to cure. while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titione! who has for many years made
a close study and specially of the treat
ment Of cATARRH, has at last per-
fected a Treatment which when faith
fully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures cATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharges. and curing all inflammation.

WILCOX FOUND GUILTY
First Degree Verdict Rendered In the
Famous Cropsey Case.


Elizabeth City, N. c., March a.
The jury in the case Of James Wilcox.
who has been on trial here for the
murder Of Miss Nellie Cropsey, his
former sweetheart, Saturday night
brought in verdict Of murder in the
first degree. He was then sentenced
to be hanged On April 20.
The deliberations Of the jury con-
tinued for 80 hours, and the proceed.
ings on Saturday were marked by an
application to the court for further in
formation. These gave rise TO reports
that the trial had resulted in a dis
agreement. One rumor had A that the
jury stood eight for conviction and
four for acquittal, while later report
made the number ten for conviction.
The verdict seems to have met pop
ular approval, though It was not con-
sdered probable that the Jury would
50 report. Lawyer Aydlett fur the de-
tense will enter an appeal IN behalf
of the prisoner. He will seek to set
aside the verdict on the ground that
it was not consistent with the evidence
brought out in the trial. There Is lit.
tie prospect Of the prisoners paying
the death penalty on the date set by
Judge Jones. AS the supceme court
does not meet untfl next September
1t is more than probable that 1t will
be twelve months before the case IL
disposed Of finally.
