avail. The boy would not talk under
any inducement that was devised by the
father. He went about his appointed
work on the farm in an intelligent man

worked on in silence. Doctors were
called in to see If there was any mental
defect in him, but they could make %
progress, as that battling silence stood
always a bar to all inquiries.
Ten years ago he left the parental
home and took up his abode in the house
he now occupies. He lives there alone,
caring for a small patch of land. which
provides him with all he needs in the
way OF food, with q bit to spare for an
occasional purchase among those he has

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
Is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied o n to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate Of winter Is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to aus catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure TO make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function OF
the body. It is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
It pervades every part Of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
t~incnials sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Cztarrh.
Mrs. NJ. x. Bousch, Richmond, Va,
writes: 81 had catarrh I'll through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. l was advisad TO try Peruna and
/ have taken five bottles OF it and am
well and better row than I have been
for years. I can advise any one who
has catarrh Of any part Of the body to
take Pcruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruns. Before l began to
take Peruna I was sick all the time, but
now 1 am entirely cured, and ell praise

letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:

SILENT THIRTY YEARS.
Strange SuIk Of an Ohio Hermit.

Silenced by a whipping he thought he

regions OF Ohio, not far from Chillicloth.
He is now past 10 years old, and no one

came upon him when he was a boy of11
at work on his fathers farm close to
place he now inhabits in solitude, strik-
ing away from the public gaze and re-
fusing always to accept even the kindly
meant offers Of aid.
His fatht-, who is still living, is said
to have been a stern taskmaster and a
firm believer in the old ideas of punish

Of some offense which me boy stoutly
denied. His father, thinking the boy
guilty of the ~ofense, said he YOU
whip both for the original offense and
then for not telling the truth about It.
The boy protested and pleaded with his
father, but without avail. The whip
ping administered was not a gentle one,
but the boy took IL stolidly and did not
even cry.
The boy went about his appointed
work in silence and seemed to be great
ly depressed over the humiliation that
had been put upon him. The family
thought at first he was only sulking
and the father openly said SO. A sister

Carr for

TIC the Editor:
There are four applicatans seeking the
senatorial honors. Each has merit, fit
ness and ability to fill the position with
honor.
We are informed one of these appli'
cants came into existence 81 years ago
an ugly, noisy baby. Seventeen years
after that he was seen enlisting as Il
private in a North Carolina regiment.
Having given evidences of heroic stuff
of which he was made he was appointed
orderly sergeant and filled that position
with honor. In May, 1864, at Spottsyl-
vania, he was wounded and was unable
to join his company until the following
September. Broken in body, bruised in
spirit, crushed in hope, ragged and pen
niless he returned home to his little
farm he left in 1862-but found mis-
wound forbade farm life. He entered
as a salesman in mercantile life, his
physician advised him against the an
ger of such active read law,
got license has grown in knowledge,
esteem and affection with his country
men ever since. 1t has been the ambi-
ton of his life to be at the head of his
profession. He has succeeded. He now

He has served his country in the senate
and later in the house with honor. La
ter still he was the war horse selected
TO defeat Dan Russell for governor.
His zeal and energy in that campaign
is we'll known His friends now say
this is the baby, the boy the soldier, the
farmer, and the statesman fit to stand
in the shoes of Vance. All this may be
true. Could not the same be said of the
other three applicants? Wonder If they
have not been as ambitious for honor
as he? Wonuer II they have not been
as earnestly in search of some calling
to better their condition as he? How
much charity has he bestowed on the
poor and needy since his appearance in
this world ~hfty-seven years ago? Has
he been a success in life? If not: Why
not?
1 would like to call attention to what
has been done by mother of the appli-
cants for the same honors this 81 year
old ugly baby has been contending fo-.
n second n made his appearance
into this world two years later. He was
born OF humble parents, entered the
Confederate army az a private when but
a mere boy, came pat of the war with
nothing but honor, this was his stock in
trade and he engaged in the manufac-
ure of tobacco with Blackwell and hv
good management made his fortune.
How well he managed n improved his
fortune the rolls Of charity, when prop
erly recorded, will a~bundantly testify.
No man in North Carolina has done
more for the old soldiers than General
Julian S. Carr, who has no equal as a
public spirited, benevolent business
man. No man IN North Carolina has
dispensed charity more freely or viii
