THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Worn Out And Nervous Regained
Their Health And Beauty
By Taking Peruna.

Miss Florence Allan, beautiful Chi
cago girl, writes the following to DR.. ).
B. Hartman concerning his catarrhal
tonic, Peruna:
rs Walton Place, Chicago, III.
GAS a tonic for a WORKOUT system,
Peruna stands at the head In my eSff-
nation. It's effects are truly wonder
fuI in rejuVenafing the entire system.
/ keep it on hand all The time, and,
never have that tired feeling as a
few doses always make me feel like a
different woman. ''---FIOrence Allan.
Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins series of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra-
ton, for palpitation of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-'
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-,
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.
Miss Cullen Was Exhausted From Over
Study.
Miss Rose Cullen, President of the
Young Woman's Club, Butte, Montana,
writes:
92l Galena street, Butte, Mont.
Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Gentlemen-"Perunah has many friends
in Butte. cannot say too much in praise
of it. While finishing school l became
very nervous and exhausted from over
study. I was weak and sick, and could
neither eat, sleep nor enjoy life. A
couple bottles of Peruna put new life in
me. l find by having it in the house and
taking dose off and on it keeps me in
fine health. A large number of my
friends place Peruna at the head of all
medicines. Rose Cullen.
Peruna is especially adapted to pro-
tectlng against ana curing ueINouS us
eases of rundown women, as the testi-
monial of Miss Cullen indicates.
Miss Blanche Myers, 3l2O Penn street,
Kansas City, Mo-, has the following to
say of Peruna:
During each of the past four seasons
T have caught a severe cold, when sud
denly chilled after an evening party,
and catarrh for several weeks would be
the result. One bottle of Peruna cured
me. and 1 shall not dread colds any more
as / did."-Blanche Myers.
An excellent little treatise on Health
and Beauty" written especially for wo-
men, by DR.. Hartman, will be sent free
to any address by The Peruna Medicine
Co., of Columbus, Ohio.

LYNCHINGs AND THE REMEDY.
The Governor Cannot Stop Them, But the Peo-
| pie Can

To the Editor: Governor Aycock is a
great man, good man, and a wise
Governor He has but done his duty in
offering reward for the lynchers of
Salisbury. / have no doubt but that pub
lie opinion will sustain him.
Of course, no body expects the lynch
ers to be punished. OF course, the
penalty due to their crime is death. and
those seventy-tive of the best citizens of
Rowan, hung in line would De notable
and most unexpected spectacle
The powers of no governor, king nor
potentate is sufficient to correct this
evil. The trouble lies deeper than the
execution of law; it lies in the people,
and in the laws themselves. We have
a strange and conglomerate civilization
The correction of this disposition to
lynch violators of the law. must be
based upon a recognition of our mixed
population.
In order that some one may not charge
or at least think that l am not in sym
pathy with the best thought of the peo-
pie of our State, | will say that my peo-
pie are all North Carolina stock. one
of my maternal at-grandfathers sat
in the Congress at Halifax that framed
/
have been told that another one Of
them fought in the Revolutionary army
My patcrnal grandfathers, l believe
came to the State after the Revolution
but, they were Scotch, and they were
Presbyterian, a combination calculated
to teach men the right. There has been
no war since. in which the nation has
been engaged, Indian wars excepted. in
which some near blood relative has not
fought and fought on the side of the
State; have had thrty-three experience
in the practice of the law; l therefore
believe that I have the right to speak
for our people.
The lynchings in this State are becom-
ing a menace to our civilization. AS a
people we ought to be ashamed of them
as a people we ought to stop them. The
Governor can't do it. The people can.
The laws ought to be changed, the
Constitution, if need be; the negroes
ought to know that the white women are
sacred to our race; not the refined and
educated, not the virtuous and good only,
but all, absolutely all. Negroes who
have any influence with their race might
do much to impress this truth upon the
more brutal of their race.
Let an assault on a white woman by
a negro man be presumptive evidence of
an intent to ravish Let the punishment
for such an assault be, among other
things, use of the knife; and 1 can see
no good reason why the law should not be
the same as to an assault by a white man
on negro woman If for rape, the pun
ishment of death, is not sufficient, let
the law prescribe what additional tor
lures should be inflicted, and let the jury
fix the punishment.
If the public examination of the vic
tin is thought too much to require Of
her, let her examination be private. If
the law is not sufficiently expeditions,

Two Fires at Scotland Neck,

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Scotland Neck, N. c., June 21-Last
night at IL o'clock the fire alarm was
given and soon one of the houses be-
longing to the Scotland Neck Cotton
Mills was burned in East Scotland Neck.
1t caught from a defective flue 1t was
occupied by mill operatives who lost
some of their property.
Yesterday at noon the handsome farm
house of Mr., w. e. Smith, who lives two
miles from town, was consumed by fire.
An inexperienced cook had made too
large fire and before the flames
could be checked the house was on fire.
In the absence of much help it was i'm
possible to save anything in the upper
story. Mr.. C. W. Albertson was living
in the upper rooms and lost his furni-
ture Mr.. Smith was sick and had to
be carried to house near by, but suf-
fered very little from the excitement.
The insurance on the house was $500.
but that does not cover the loss as the
house had been much improved since
the insurance was taken.
Mr.. Smith is one of the best and most
progressive young farmers in the COM
munlty, and has host of friends who
greatly sympathize with him.
The investigation of the circumstances
concerning the tragic death of Young
Wexford, which was reported in this cor
respondence, points to an accident rather
than suicide. He was found near
mulberry tree, where it is supposed that
he was waiting for squirrels.
The Carolina Telephone Company has
completed the line to Halifax.

Especial to the News and Observer
Greensboro n. c., June 21.-Arrange-

every one attending, and entertainment
headquarters will be established near the
depot, to which every visitor NAV go
and have such place assigned to him as
he may prefer, according to price AL
ready list is being prepared of boarding
houses, hotels, prices, ETC., and the
number that can be comfortably housed
and fed. and as the hotel and boarding
mousse accommodations here are unsur-
passed probably by any city in the
state, except possibly Asheville. there
Will be no difficulty in securing comfort
able entertainment for all that come.
The question of holding the sessions of
the convention in the opera house is be-
Ing considered A great many say that
although the opera house will seat 1000
people comfortably they think a ground
floor building, like the Farmers tobacco
warehouse, which can accommodate .O00

and the forms required too cumbrous,
let the sheriff summon a jury of twelve
or of six. and let them try, and order
the Culprts execution. Let the punish
ment for rape be sure, swift and terrible
but let it be the punishment of the law;
and let not the exccutioner be. crimi-
nal, a murderer.
l have not lost sight of the fact that
in the Salisbury case there was no rape
even suspected, but there is precious
little difference between that crime and
the cruel numbering of a dcfenceless
white woman by an enraged negro.
Lynching for rape is the root of the
evil, and if we can stop this the evil
will be remcdied. Let the laws be
changed, then. to suit the conditions of
the times. and to meet the demands of
the best public sentiment, and in the
meantime let's educate and Christianize
our people and ameliorate their condi-
ton and all will be we'll.

Conner for Associate Justice.

To the Editor: The State Democratic
convention to convene at Greensboro will
name an Associate Justice for our SUI
preme Court for Eastern North Carolina.
If it would select for that high and
honorable position man of clear and
vigorous intellect, sound legal learning
and large judicial experience, one whose
integrity has never been furnished by
even the breath of suspicion, and whose
life in it's symmetry, consistency and
moral completeness, is without blot or
blemish, it can find that man in Judge
H. G.. Conner. of Wilson. Your CORE
spondent has known him, from his early
boyhood, and has watched his career
with interest and with pride. He had
scarcely attained his majority and en-
tered upon the duties of his chosen pro-
fession, before he had won by his in
stinctive politeness, his manly and gen.
erous disposition, and the singular up
rightness of his life, the respect of
many, who were to be his steadfast
friends, while his careful preparation
and aptitude for his work and the
scrupulous fidelity with which he dis
charged every trust, great or small, led
at once to a large and lucrative practice
There is no element of the accidental
in Judge Connor's success, nor was it
reached by any royal road it came as
the fruitage of industry, learning, eX-
perience and exalted character, so pre-
eminently qualifying him for the high
office. In full view of the Importance
of the great office, l dare affirm, from
a lifelong acquaintance with the man.
that there is no one in North Carolina
to whom it's honor, its dignity, it's
sanctity, could be more properly or
safely confidede that to Judge Conner.
