hair, just as our officers in the Philip

Remarkable Transaction In Cotton.
The biggest sale of cotton from one
plantation ever made in New Orleans
took place a few weeks since, when
the famous Panther Burn" crop, con-
sisting of 1900 bales, was sold. A
sale and delivery OF 1900 bales from
one plantation would be a remarkable
transaction under any circumstances,
but these bales were nearly twice the
usual weight, averaging 800 pounds to
the bale.

A HARD ROW TO HOE
Gudger Makes Moody Sweat
at HaysviIle.
A Joint Canvass from Which Tropic WhHs
Arise. Leutenan! Governor Turner
Speaks at Greensboro.
Especial to News and observer,)

Hayesville, N. c., Sept. 1.-THE court
house here at Hayesville was packed
yesterday by people anxious to hear the
discussion between Gudger and Moody,
candidates for Congress-. large num-
Der of ladies were present Gudger
opened with one of the best speeches
ever heard here His tribute to the Con.
federate soldiers and the appropriation
of money to aid them in their declining
years completely captured the audience.
He forcibly presented the progress made
in the school system of North Carolina
and the long terms under the Democratic
system. The criticism of the Republican
Legislature of "a to '9S was forcibly
presented and his arraignment of Moody
for appointing Jim Young, the negro. as
director of the white Deaf and Dumb
Institution of North Carolina absolutely
paralyzed Moody. Mr.. Gudger then de-
voted forty minutes to the discussion of
the tariff, trusts and other national is
sues and closed on the billion dollar
Congress-, saying all that Moody had done
in two years was to draw his breath and
his salary.
Moody used his entire time in replying
to some of Gudger's questions. He at
tempted to rally on the National Park
bill, and excitedly exclaimed: IF / am
repudiated by my district, 1T will defeat
the Park bill, as Congress will say your
people don't want it, adding that the
Democratic party had missionaries go
ing up and down the country fighting the
bill" He denounced the election regis
trars who were indicted as set of "elec-
ton thieves" Moody here lost his tenn
per and excitedly told Gudger he was
tired of his questions.
Gudger began his reply by asking
Moody if the Park bill was political
question and Moody refused to answer.
Gudger stated that both political parties
were working in perfect harmony for
the bill. and the effort of Mr.. Moody to
try to get it into politics was the effort
of man who was willing to sacrifice
a great measure to accomplish his own
ambition. He in scathing tones de-
nounced the statement that the Demo-
cratic party was opposing this measure.
Mr. Gudger got decidedly the best of the
discussion. Clay county will give him
every Democratic vote in the county, and
fifty Republican votes.

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish a particular part of the body, but IL
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by Indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the fayorite medicine OF the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes YOU

Strong Address by Turner.
Especial to News and observer.)


Greensboro, N. c., Sept. 17.-Lieutenant
Governor w. d. Turner made strong
logical speech in the court house here
last night. Governor Turner had more
than an average audience last night, and
being the first gun fired, it had a fine
effect
He showed how the Republican party
was one of shifting policies. He declared
that the money question was merely
policy of the period, given life by condi-
tions at the time, and there was no fun
damental principle involved in the issue
of gold or silver and that episode in
the life of the Democratic party having
been by conditions settled, it was beg
ging the question for any man to for
sake the eternal principles of Democracy
on account of disapproval of a temporary
policy of the organization which formed
only one of thousand greater qualities
He next went into a review of the
Democratic and Fusion administrations
in North Carolina, and demonstrated by
a forcible presentation of comparative
figures, that appropriations made by
Democrats were distributed among all
the people. for the benefit of all, in the
form of schools, old soldiers, pensions,
asylums etc, while the appropriations
made by the F'usionists were distributed
among certain individuals as a reward for
partisan efforts or a bride for future
assistance. Explaining the alleged in
creased appropriations made by Demo-
Gratis and the 100000 loan. he showed
how, in the three years of Fusion rule,
as compared with the three past years
of Democratic, the Fusionists had fallen
short nearly half million dollars, and
if this had been available instead of
having to borrow $500, 900 there would
have been 100000 surplus in the treasury.
the exact amount turned over to the
Fusionists by the Democratic treasurer.

THOUSANDS of women suffer from
systemic 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
with medicine. They take medicine for
sick headache. They take medicine for
nervous prostration, 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
