ARGUMENTS CLOSE
 IN WILCOX CASE
State Solicitor Charg,s That
 the Girl Was Murdered
FEELING AGAINST LAWYERS
-ounsel for Defense Concludes for His Client, But Crowd Is So Biased That Many Men Leave
 the Court Room.

Elizabeth City, N. C., March 2o.-So- licitor George Ward spoke for the state this morning at the trial of James Will Cropsey. He contended that the evidence of the doctors against drowning was con elusive. He reviewed the estimony of the medical men and asserted that the girl was murdered and that Wilcox was guilty as charged. He said Wilcox had grown bitter at the repulses he had received from Miss Cropsey. and that he had made up his mind to win her back or kill her.
 The argument was closed by F. R. Aydlett. counsel for the defense. He re viewed the entire evidence in dtail. Among other things he said:
 The Cropseys have my sympathy. ] have before extended it from my owr lips. do not blame Mir. Cropsey for try ing to find out the cause of the death o4 this girl. But let us look Into the evi- dence in this case. The people of North Carolina want honest veruicts- The doc tors say there are three tests of drown ing and that they do not apply in cases where the body had been dead over four or five weeks. The doctors in this case admit that they did not examine the wind pipes and other tubes to the lungs. This is where one of the symptoms are found. The water could have left the lungs and stomach by natural processes in the course of thirty-seven days. There Is no evidence that the girl was not drowned" f"
 If, however, she was killed, he contend ed that the defendant had nothing to do with it. He had neither the motive nor the opportunity.
 The courthouse was full If people this afternoon, but soon after MT. Aydlett be- gan there was quite an exodus from the afsles There is some feeling against him on account of his activity in behalf of the defendant. Judge Jones will charge the jury tomorrow.

Malaria and Yellow Jack.

(From N. Y. Herald, January IA, 1S02.)
 "The widow of Dr. Lazeare, who, in the employ of the Government went to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellow Fever through mosquito bites, and died applied to Congress for relief to-day"
 The above tells of the sad culmina- tion of series of experiments by the Government, all of which proved con- clusiyely that the familiar mosquito is a dangerous aicle for carrying Malaria, "Yellow Jack," and other malarial levers. Those who are exposed to mosquitoes should take warning. Nature provides a certain degree of resistance, which, when the bodily functions are in normal condition, is sufficient to ward off dis ease but if any of the functions are lag ging, if there is weakness, there is dan ger. and particularly if the blood is im- pure or impoverished there is great dan ger. If you would escape, keep the blood pure and properly nourished with pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. That is ex- actly what it does, and has been doing for the last half-a-century. It is recog- nized everywhere as the best blood puri- fer and tonic in use.
 Houston. Texas, Aug. 1, 1901.
 "I have used Dr. Harter,s Iron Tonic myself. and in my family for twenty-five years, and can heartily recommend it. I regard 1t as particularly valuable to ward of malarial and other fevers."

James Jeffries, the present champion heavy weight of the world, and his gal lant opponent Tom Sharkey, in the great est pugilistic encounter that has ever taken place, both pursued much the same course of training, and the first and most important part of this training was to get the stomach into condition and to keep the digestion absolutely perfect so that every muscle and nerve would be at its highest capabilities.
 This was not done by a secret patent medicine, but both of these great pugilists used a well-known natural digestive tab let sold by druggists under the name of Stuerts Dyspepsia Tablets and composed of the digestive ferments which every stomach requires for healthy digestion. Champion Jeffrtes says: "Stuart's DyB- pepsia Tablets prevent acidity, strengthen the stomach and insure perfect digestion. They keep man in fine physical condi- tion." Signed. James J. Jeffries, cham pion of the world.
 The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says: Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all dis comfort after eating. They rest the stomach and restore it to healthful con- dition. heartily recommend then" |" Signed, Thomas J. Sharkey.
 The advantage of the daily use of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets Is that they keep people well and ward off sickness and are equally valuable to well persons as to the dyspeptics. Another advantage is that these tablets contain no cathartics or poizons of any character. but simply digestive ferments which are found in ev- cry healthy stomach, and when digestion Is imperfect it is because the stomach lacks some of these elements. and Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets supply 1t.
 They are no cheap cathartic. but a per- fectly safe and efficient digestive. and the demand for them is greater than the sale of all other so-called dyspepsia cures combined. No remedy could possibly reach such place in public esteem ex- cept IS a result of positive merit
 Fuii-sixed packages arc sold by all drug gists at 30 oents and the best habit you can possibly form is to take a Stuart Tab let after each meal. They make weak stomachs strong and keep strong stomachs vigorous.
