Enterprise is one of the virtues of Drug gist E. c. Fowler Often has he demon strated his ability to not only keep pace with, but to keep ahead of the times. had ooc ssion to be proud of the way this prominent druggist has shown himself to be among the foremost In the country in adopting the latest scientific and chem ical discoveries.
 Even in this age of progress, the ad- vance in pharmaceutical development has been at times almost of a sensational nature. The druggist or chemist who has not had push and enterprise has soon become back number, and can be found today running a small store, the appear ance of which, devoid of any signs of modernism, is familiar to all.
 It has always been MT. F. G. Fowler's S ambition to connect himself with some of profit to himself, but the means of ac complaining good to others. With this end in view, it Is not strange that MT. E. c. Fowler, in his profession. should have been led to think seriously concern ing the use of cod liver oil. He, like hundreds of other druggists. has sold vast quantities of this valuable. but nauseat- ing remedy.
 Into his ear has been poured many a tale of woe. by sufferers who would beg him to advise some way they might take the medicine prescribed for them, and many attempts has he made in the past to enable a patient to take this remedy knowing well that could they succeed in doing so, he would be instrumental in re- storing health-and in many cases even in saving life.
 He was obliged to give up attaining the desired end, of disgusting the taste of this obnoxious greasy medicine, as many oth- CTS have had to before him. He found 1t was not very difficult matter to fool the palate, but he could not fool the pa- tient's stomach. Even when the oil had

COTTON MILL MERCER
COMMITTEE HOLDS MEETING IN
 RALEIGH.
Nothing as to the Outcome of the Deliberations Made Public-The Capitalization Will Exceed
 $50, 900 ,0o0.

Raleigh. N. C., Oct. 3.-The cotton merger committee under the Fries plan of organization of the spinning mills of the South handling brown and dyed goods met here tonight and was in ses- sion till nearly midnight.
 Some headway was made but the com mittee will give out no detailed infor- nation as the matter it Is discussing is the valuation of the various plants and which of them will be taken into the merger.
 John Fries, who is the promoter of the plan, says that about 135 mills have applied for admission, but that the adapt ability and needs of each of these will be carefully scrutinized before any are accepted. That there will be over sev- enty mills in the merger appears certain and the capitalization will go beyond $3O. 900 900.
 The committee which met tonight is composed of T. W. Pratt of Huntsville. Ala; S. B. Tanner of Henrietta, N. C.; John Fries of WinstOn-Salem. N. C.; c. G. Latta of Raleigh, N. C., and A. W. Haywood of New River, N. C., all representatives of large cotton milling interests.

been made tasteless by being administer cd in capsules or other forms. the stonl- ach would rebel and promptly eject'it.
 Right at this stage of the game Mir Fowler learned of an i'm 2o:tant discovery made by two eminent French chemists, whose secret has been bought by a larg. Boston house. With characteristic enter prise MT. Fowler connected himself with them. and succeeded in making arrange ments with them to directly handle this new discovery. .~ ,
 Thank goodness. we now have at last right here in town, a preparation that contains all the curative principles which have given the cod's liver its great repu- tation as a remedy for wasting diseases. Now these sought-for principles are in a concentrated form, free from the nauseat- ing, greasy matter that characterizes cod liver oil as we have known it. This ex- t1act Is put up in a most palatable and delicious form, so that 1t can be taken oy any one with the most delicate and sensitive stomach. It Is positively free from any objectionable odor, taste, or my of the othec disagreeable features hat have always attended cod liver oil.
 MT. Fowler will gladly tell any one who will call on him, all about the discovery. 4e Is so pleased in regard to the matter hat he wants every one to know about '. Above all he wishes 1t to be positive 5 not a patent medicine. He will tell YOU everything in 1t and explain to you low scholars have devoted their lives and capitalists their money, in procuring this product to which has been given the name of Vinol-Wine of Cod Liver oil.
 We think right here 1t would be a good plan for any one who Is so unfortunate as to feel 1t necessary for their health to take cod liver oil, to hear what Mir Fowler has to say on the subject. What he will tell you will cost nothing. What you will learn you can safely assert will prove of the greatest value to you.

NEEDS OF THE F1L1P1Nos.
Native En Route to Washington t
 Make Them Known.

San Francisco, Oct. 23.-Raimon Reyes Lala, native Filipino. graduate of OK ford and naturalized American, has ar rived here on his way from Manila to Washington to tell something of the pres ent urgent needs of the Filipinos. Leg islation is much needed for the Philip pines, said Lala, when seen at his hotel.
 ''We poor Filipinos need a stable cur rency. We can not do business with the States without having a fixed standard of money. In the old days silver was generally worth three-fourths as much as gold and at the worst two for one. But now silver-and 1t Is a silver country, though the government demands all it's payments in gold-silver is lower yet. $2.S for every dollar in gold. To secure $400 in gold when I was leaving for the States I had to pay something like $s5O In silver. The worst of it is that there Is no established ratio. The commission can make 1t anything they see fit. The islands need railroads They need more reliable labor for the laboring class are very uncertain. If they make a few dol lars they do not care to work till the money is spent"

Accomplishments of the Blind.

American Medicine.
 It is fast becoming true that, to par aphrase an old saying, in the language of the blind there is no such word as i'm possible There is in Philadelphia a blind newspaper dealer who without help con- ducts a successful business. (And there are good men who go out of their way to buy their papers of himO But the veteran blind dealer, Marcellus Betz, has just died in New York from a fall while serving papers on hls route. He lost his eyes in 1860. He was n years of age and had been selling papers since he was years old. In Berkeley Cal, there is a young woman who can do most any thing that others do-except to see She will be graduated next year at the usual age from the high school Besides all the usual accomplishments of the blind, she is a good musi 'ian, reading the raiS- ed notes for the blnd she Is good seam stress; she not only uses the typewriter for the blind, but the ordinary one, talk ing down rapidly from dictation; she plays whist with interest and skill, by means of pin bricks in the corner of the cards which she understands, touching each card as played by the others, and then promptly playing her own.

JUMPS ON MCLEAN
TOM JOHNSON CAUSES sENsA-
 TON IN CINCINNATI.
Says Hanna is a Candid Man and Does Not Attempt to Answer Questions as to Curative
 Railroad Act.

Cincinnati. Oct Z-Mayor Tom L. John- son of Cleveland, who is recognized as the Democratic leader in Ohio this year. and the probable opponent of Senator Hanna next year and a candidate for the Presidency in 1904. created a sensation here tonight by attacking certain ele- ments in his own party, especially John R. Mclean both ind .dually and as the proprietor of The Cincinnati Enquirer and Lewis G. Bernard as Chairman of the Democratic Committee of Hamilton Coun- ty.
 When Mayor Johnson was introduced he discussed the recent curative act passed by the Legislature and denounced both of the Ohio Senators for securing its pas sage. He mentioned by name all of the eight Democrats in the Legislature who voted with the Republicans for the pas- sage of the curative act for street rail- roads and charged repeatedly that they got their price.
 Some one asked if he wanted Hanna to come into his tent. Johnson replied that he had frequently invited Hanna to join the debate in his tent but that he could not be pulled in with a four-inch rope.
 Another voice was heard to ask if Han- na did not want to be President. John- son replied: "Yes, most anybody would like to have that job.'
 In reply to further inquiries Johnson said: Hanna is a good neighbor and a good citizen. but we never could agree on anything. He says am travelling around in a circus tent showing a preach CT, that I am a hypocrite and a dema- gogue, but that Is no answer to the can did questions we have put to him and are putting to the people. Hanna is a candid man and does not try to reply to our charges about his curative street rail- way act because he knows he cannot an- swer them"
 Mayor Johnson discussed taxation and other questions but would revert at diff ferent times to The Enquirer and MT. Mo- Lean. He charged The Enquirer with publishing that he came to Cincinnati as a disturbing agent. He said he pitched his tent here to preach the gospel of re- form and cast out the money changers. He had no poodle for anybody. He said he had reserved this speech to make at MT. McLean's old home and not at a distance from his paper and neighbors. and after repeating over and over his charges he said: T not only challenge, but I also defy Mir Mclean and his pa- per"
 After reviewing at length what he termed as treachery Tn the local organi- zation he said: T do not name Lewis G. Barnard because he Is not big enough to mention"
 Mayor Johnson entertained the audience some time In answering questions some of them being direct reflections on the party management in Hamilton County

MINOR LEAGUE MEN
MEET IN NEW YORK IN SECOND
 ANNUAL SESSION.
Reports of President Powers and Secretary-Treasurer Farrell Highly Complimntary to
 the Association.

New York, Oct. 23.-The. members of the | National Association of Baseball Leagues

 Alter the roll call the reports of Presi- dent Powers and Secretary Farrell were read. Both reports are long and exhaus- tive and are most flattering to the asso- citation. In his report Secretary Farrell made a number of recommendations regarding the propriety of fixing salary scale for minor league players. Another recom- mendation is calculated to raise the tone of the national game. MT. Farrell pro- poses that a player reported for drunken or disorderly conduct the second time shall be declared ineligible to play with any National Association club for the balance of the season. Among other rec commentators made in MT. Farrelrs re- port were:
 "It might be advisable to consider a modification of the farming rule with the idea of establishing a stated penalty for its violation if it is continued. "It is recommended that the national agreement be amended so as to spec fcally state the period of time granted club owners in which to accept a player S terms and retain a claim upon a player s services.
 WOHiu TcSODiHltIu tDdL pfONlSiOH Dt made to penaliZe any club manager who communicates, in the line of negotiations, with any player under contract to an- other club member of this association"
 Letters were read from John T. Bush and James Hart suggesting an affiliation between the National League and the National Association. MT. Farrell, how ever, declared after the meeting that the association would remain independent of any other organization.
 MT. Powers and MT. Farrell were both unanimously reelected respectively Pres ident and Secretary-Treasurer. The new National Board was elected as follows: M. H. Sexton, Rock Island, chairman; T. H. Murnane. Boston; w. M. Kavanagh, Little Rock; J. H. ORourke, Bridgeport; w. H. Lucas, Spokane. Wash, and J. H. Farrell. Au-
 burn. N. Y. MT. Kavahaugh takes the place of J. B. Ntckln of the Southern League.
