Raleigh the Right Place.
wilmington Messenger

We do not think hostility to Raleigh
as place in which conventions should
meet is we'll based. Raleigh Is the
capital of the State, 1t is a handsome,
progressive town, it has as good hotel
and hall accommodations, we would sup
pose, as any other town. it is easy of
access, being central for situation in SO
far as the cast and west are concerned,
and it has an intelligent, hospitable North
Carolina population, and that means a
very great deal. This writer is very
partial tc Raleigh, as he went to school
there, edited there, and 1t was there his
child-eyes first saw the light of this
world. Wilmington Is good place for
conventions, but Raleigh Is not to be
despised or crowded out of the process
sion.

dience assembled in the Grand Opera
House last night to witness the exercises
which attended the formal opening of
Greensboro's new free public library.
A report submitted by Prof. George A.

showed that something over $4,000 had
been subscribed, Of which more than
$4,000 had been invested in books The
problem of securing suitable location
for the library was solved by the alder
men giving the management the use of
the third floor of the city hall, which is
most admirably adapted TO library pur-
poses.
Rev. DR.. l.. w Crawford, chairman OF
the board of managers, presented the
library to the city In few well O. osen
words. The speech of acceptance was
made by Prof. j. Y. Joyner, representing
Mayor Osborn.

was delivered by DR.. Henry Louis Smith,
president of Davidson College. He spoke
eloquently of the wealth of information
to be gained by "a liberal and intelligent
use of good books and urged the people
OF Greensboro to frequent their library
as much as possible.

Marion, ~ c., Feb. 5.-Monroe Ander-
son (colored) was found dead today in
his cabin by DR.. G. s. Kirby with his
nose eaten off. eyes eaten out. and the
flesh torn from his throat and hands by
rats and cats. The doctor thinks that
he had been dead about two or three
days from all appearances. He lives half
mile out of town. near negro settle
ment, but none appeared to know that
he was dead.
Ex-Sheriff Neal heard through some
one that ne was sick and got Dr.. Kirby
to go and see him, saying he would pay
for medicine Two small children who
lived with the old man were found at
another negro'S house after the old man
was discovered dead. and it looks
strange that when the children were
found, that the parties there did not look
after the old man.
He generally did little chares about
town. He always voted the Democratic
ticket; therefore was not popular with
the negroes. Ex-Sheriff Neal is having

The news & observer., 1902-02-06

recent discoveries in medicine for cure
of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying
The old time treatment of catarrh was
in the form of inhalers, washes,
douches, sprays, etc Later on internal
remedies were used with greater sue
cess, but being in LIQUID or powder form
were inconvenient to use and like all
medicines in liquid or powder form,
lose their medicinal properties when
opened or exposed to the air.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets contain high
~ concentrated antiseptics, Red Gum,
Blood Root, etc. which kill the catarrh
germs in the blood and mucous mem
brane, and in this respect are strictly
scientific and modern, because all au
thorities are now agreed that catarrh is
a constitutional blood disease. and local
application can have only a transitory ef-
feet.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given in the
tablet form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and Kill
catarrh germs right where they are pro-
duced.
A prominent lawyer and public speak
er of Pittsburg says: Il have been
troubled with catarrh of the head and
throat for twelve years. In this climate
it seems impossible to get rid of 1t. The
continual dropping of mucous from the
nose into the throat caused irritation
and hoarseness, seriously interfering
with my public speaking. 1t took me
an hour or more of coughing, gagging,
expectorating and sneezing every morn
| ing before / could settle down to work
and this condition gradually brought on
catarrh of stomach, causing loss of ap-
petite, poor digestion and foul breath.
which annoyed me exceedingly. My
| physician advised me to try Stuart s
Catarrh Tablets and I took them for
| two months and was astonished to find
| how quickly they cleared my head,
| throat and stomach and I have no hesi-
| tation in recommending them. They are
not only pleasant to take, but they seem
to get at the very root of the trouble,
1 because since using them l have had no
! trace of catarrh.'
| Druggists sell Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
at so cents for full sized package.
| They can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and as often as desired
/ since they contain no cocaine, mercury
