ITCHING eczema
And Other Itching, Burning and
SGaly ETlptiOlS.
Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by !
CutiGIra Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.QO.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimpies and ringworm; the awful suf-
fcring of infants and the anxiety of
WORKOUT parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand a rem
edy Of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails.

SHALL THE NEGROES, DIsFRAN
CHI XD IN NOVEMBER, BE
PERMITTED TO VOTE IN
LIQUOR ELECTIONS?

Mr.. Henry a. Gillian, of Edgecombe,
who is in Raleigh, denies the correctness
of the following statement in the Rocky
Mount Motor, made with reference to
the recent dispensary election in Tar
boro:
"A LARGE NUMBER OF NEGROES
WHO WERE REFUSED REGISTRA-
TIoN IN THE STATE ELECTION AND
WHO WILL VOTE SoLIDLY FOR THE
SALOONS. ~
We gave prominence to the publication
i in the Motor not for the purpose of dis
cussing the dispensary election in Tar
boro, but Ito point moral" and call
the attention of the people of the State
to threatened danger to the suffrage
of the State.
Under the Watts law, upon petition of
one-fourth OF the qualified voters of the
place, any town may vote for prohibit
Ition or dispensary. The vote may be
held at any time except ninety days
prior 10 or after general election I'm
der this law we may expect elections to
be held in quite a number of the towns
in the State. The absence, in these cleo
tions, of political issues will cause many
to forget the necessity of protecting the
purified electorate.
There will doubtless be those among
the advocates of the saloon and among
the opponents of the saloon who will
be tempted to appeal to the negro vote,
as the Motor was informed would be
the case in Tarboro by those who are
opposed to the dispensary. If this is done,
serious injury has been inflicted upon
our new suffrage amendment-aR injury
that will be far-reaching
1t is as important that the matter of
saloons, iispensary. prohibition should be
settled by the white electorate as that
the selection of sheriffs and members of
Congress should be selected without an
appeal to the negro vote. The negroes
who were not permitted to vote last
November ought not to be permitted to
vote in any election affecting the liquor
question. If, in the zeal of either oppon-
ents or advocates of the saloon, appeal
is made to the negro vote, the party
making the appeal and seeking to put
them on the registration book richly de-
serves defeat 1t is ten fold more inn
portant that the purified electorate shall
be preserved unimpaired than that any
town in North Carolina shall be "dry"
or wet" If the suffrage is debauched
again, if the mass of negroes are again
put on the registration books for any
purpose, it will tend to break down the
bulwark of white supremacy erected at
great sacrifice.
Let the Democratic leaders and all
other good citizens everywhere frowri
down upon any attempt to register ne
groes or appeal to them in any dispen-
sary or prohibition election, no matter
which side commits that sin. No reform
is worth having that jeopardizes the
greater reform of purified suffrage.

Water Company's Engineer Says Ii
Would He a Month Before Water in
Mains Would Again BE Pure.
CHIEF CO0TS IS NOTIFIED
PRESSURE FOR FIRE PURPOSES
CONSIDERABLY REDUCED.
Shortage I'm the Supply i'm All Tall
Office Bui1dings-Same Condition
Obtains i'm Chicago.

On account Of the indiscriminate and ir-
regular use Of the city water all over In
dianapolis the city water pressure for fire
purposes has been reduced from 12O pounds
to between seventy and eighty pounds dur
ing the day and up to o'clock at night
Chief Coots. of the fire department, was
notified Of this condition of affairs yester-
day afternoon by the chief engineer OF the
indianapolis Water Company
If fire during the day should be bad
enough to demand a second alarm the
chief engineer OF the water company saws
it will be necessary to pump the dirty
water from the canal into all the mains.
This would poIlute the water supply all
over the city and It would take the COM
pany month to again get pure water into
the mains.
The big wholesale houses on South Me-
ridian street and In other localities have
been placed In added danger from fro on
account of the shortage in the city water
supply. 1t Is said that the water pressure
in the city mains is so low through the
hours OF business that the automatic
sprinkling apparatus in most of these
Establishments will not throw a stream of
water large enough to be Of any assistance
WHdteNeT IN case or nre. In several of
the taller business buildings the water pres
sure Is almost exhausted above the fifth
floors.
The biggest handicap to the fire depart
ment from the water shortage would come
during the day and up to 8 o. clock at night
After that hour Chief Coots has been noti-
ned that the regular heavy pressure can be
maintained.
This condition of affairs, which is re-
garded as quite serious by Chief Coots, has
been brought about since the extreme hot
weather began. The Indianapolis Water
Company pumps about 100000 gallons a
day into the mains and the chief engineer
or the company says all of this Is used by
the people. All the company could do In
case OF a secOnd-alarm fire would be to
open the seal to the canal and fill the mains
with the dirty water
The shortage Is due entirely TO violation
OF the rules governing the use OF water for
sprinkling purposes. Since the hot weather
began there has been a general violation
OF these rules al, over the city. The water
has been used at all hours and there has
been wholesale waste.
The water company will send out a large
number of special inspectors in attempt 10
detect violations of the sprinkling rules and
reduce the waste. There is fine for viola
ton OF these rules and the company an
nounced yesterday that 1t will enforce the
law rigidly where violations can be de-
tected
