THE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mcnding Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
e. G.. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
tcrian church of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
"Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. Ny little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special nalady consider it well nigh a
specific. AS tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals."-

"For long time I was troubled with

Peruna was recommended to me by

A FIT LEADER CHOSEN.

We publish elsewhere private" letter
ler's Association calling upon all the dis
tillers TO send ten dollars Eat once" to
the treasurer at Raleigh, this money to
''be expended for the employment of at
torneys and for such other purposes as
may be necessary 1t also urged every
distiller to 'come in person on Wednes-
day and to bring every influence you
can to bear" upon their Senators and
Representatives. 1t seems that this is
the second letter sent out. The first was
sent by Claudius Dockery "our attorney"
He is the same Dockery who procured the
removal from office of Mr. Swinson in
1897 because Mr.. Swinson refused to let
negroes work in the office of Enrolling
Clerk, giving as his reason that he would
not permit negroes to work there be-
cause it was not fitting that negroes
should be employed where white ladies
were at work. For this refusal Dockery
secured his removal from office, so Swim
son testified.
1t will be observed that S. Ohio Will
son is chairman of the executive COM
mittee. S. Ohio once exerted great pow
er as the head OF Gdeon's Band and as
boss of the Populist forces. Since then
be has gone to making "sowpaw' and
now ne returns to public life as the
chairman of the executive committee of
the Distillers Association, fighting the
righteous measures which the best peo-
pie in North Carolina are seeking to en-
act into law.
Isn't S. Ohio the ideal leader of the
cause? With him as chairman of the
executive committee, ought not the at
torneys who have been employed to come
to Raleigh to abandon the unholy cause
and come out from among them? The
presence of Ohio as leader ought to be
proof enough, if any were needed, that
the time has come to shut up the stills
and give us moral reform. When the
Gdeonite controlled in politics, it took
a. revolution to restore good government
in the State. Must we have another
revolution to destroy S. Othos second
crusade against the good people of North
Carolina?
