DISAPPEARING.
An Old Chronic Coffee Symptom Goir

An Old Chronic Coffee Symptom Going
1t is a fact that the old time enemy
sick headache, is disappearing as the use
of Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee
becomes more widespread
Sick headache is always caused by i'm
proper foor or drink, and coffee is the
most prominent cause of sick headaches.
In those families where Postum has
taken the place of coffee you will seldom
find a case of sick headache, nausea or
nervousness. Il had sick headache fire.
quently before beginning the use of Pos,
tum which was year ago last June but
since 1 have quit coffee and use Postum
have had only one spell.
my husband suffered so greatly from
stomach trouble for two years, with ex-
IRENE weakness at times and smothering
so badly that his friends generally gave
him up as a consumptive. Two physicians
tried their skill but did not help him.
Yet in less than a year since he quit
coffee and began the use of Postum he
is we'll The smothering spells are en-
tirely gone and he is back again at his
usual farm work strong and happy. We
both began to notice a change for the
better after we had used Postum about a
month and now we would neither one of
us go without 1T.
my husbands mother had stomach
trouble entirely different from my hus-
bands She had had weak stomach for
80 years without being able to get much
help from medical treatment. After she
saw what Postum had done for my hus
band, she was easily persuaded to give UP
coffee and try Postum and the old cramps
from which she used to suffer so much
are almost entirely gone and her stomach
is getting strong and normal. l could tel
you of number of other cases among
my relatives and townspeople but guess
you will understand from this what we
think of Postum in this part of the
country.
You could not persuade any of these
people that | have named to risk even
one cup of coffee now, since they have
seen what giving up coffee and drinking
Postum will do toward getting back
health and happiness" This was written
by a wel-known lady of Brick Church,

Serious Fight at Church
(Watauga Democrat.)

Thomas Chapel, this county, during
services, was the scene of quite a lively
little shooting scrape on last Sunday.
Harve Wilson who, we are told, was
under the influence of whiskey, got into
an alteration in the church yard with
man by the name of Hodges, who gave
him severe blow on the forehead with
a stone, Wilson, blinded with the blood
from the wound drew a revolver and
fired six shots at his assailant, but for
tunately none of the shots took effect.
Reports say that both of the parties
have fed the State.

1t will not be so much for political req sons as 1t will be from lack of confidence on the part of those who make Presi- dents. In short. they both fear and dread hiim, and if he Is defeated that feeling will be responsible for it.
 And yet 1t is exceedingly hard to get some of his supporters to admit that there has been any falling off in his pop ularity. Here is The Minneapolis Journal, for example. declaring that ''he is so popular that for his own Party to reject him would be to shake the confidence of million voters in the desirability of keeping the Party in power" The Jour nal is singularly obtuse if it fails to See that the confidence of which 1t speaks is already shaken. If the voters had elect ed him to the Presidency, we might easily understand how they would hesi- tate to repudiate him, feeling that such course would be a reflection on their own intelligence. but they do not feel responsible for him or for the accident which put him in power. They can reflect him and take another man without dis loyalty to their Party and without in- convenience. The Journal is whistiinR to keep It's courage up.

recognized authority on all matters relat- ing to that race. tells us that to cure a cold the Indian went to a mountain to camp. and hunted and ate wild meat for forty-eight hours. which is now the easiest way to cure cold in camp It is curious but Is nevertheless true. Try 1t and be convinced. No one ever saw tepee Indian with a cold or cough. Ma ture will cure you if you are not such coward. and will go into camp and give nature a chance"
 We suspect that Gipson's remedy would not be very popular among the whites. but there is doubtless much truth in the contention that colds and other lung troubles are to some extent at least due to our habits of living in tight and warm houses and then exposing ourselves to cold and damp air. Whether cold can be cured by the means above proposed we are not prepared to say. and we doubt if there are many who will try 1t.

Under Cleveland and Roosevelt.

 President Roosevelt in his message made some very high-minded statements as to the rights of citizens to work with out interference, and the determination of the United States Government to pro- tect all such citizens in their rights, Is followed by repetition of riotous law lessness in Chicago. when two American citizens while peaceably pursuing their and their families were set upon and beaten almost to death by bands of law less. murderous thugs. Chicago has been in the hands of the mob off and on for nearly year and no man who has not subscribed to what is called ''organized labor" has been allowed to peaceably earn. livelihood in any case known to this mob.
 There was once & similar condition in Chicago, when murder, disorder disre- gard for property and personal rights ran riot and when the lawless elements sought to destroy society and set up it's own rule in the place of justice and right There was at the same time a man in the office of President who not only held to the views declared by MT. Roosevelt but who had the nerve, the manhood and the courage to carry into execution what he thought was his duty. The mob was promptly suppressed: law was re-estab- lished in it's desecrated temple and order was restored. But that was when Gro- yer Cleveland was President, and there mas been none like him since that day MT. Roosevelt's utterancec up to this time are mere words-sound signifying nothing so long as the conditions existing in Chi- cago and elsewhere are permitted to go unrelieved. sO

IS A MIsFoRrUNE.
The esteemed Buffalo Evening News has this paragraph:

SNSON@@@NA has this paragraph:
 In one sense 1t is a misfortune that the sShsaow or rebellion still hangs over the can be taken for the head of a Demo- cratic ticket for the Presidency, but 1t IS IS certain that 3 the Democratic platform more than by Northern Democratic op ne ion. The South has reached the level uf nnb,Icon the prosperity di of th" North under Re cannot possibly dispute their ediracy and as to impertl it's business interests.
 We agree with The News that it is A misfortune. probably in more than one sense. It is unfortunate for the South, for the country and for the Democracy Were 1t not SO. the South would secure the nomination of one of her own capa- ble sons and the country would join in and elect him in the good old way. Then the Democracy would be in power, the country would have creditable admins tration and the South would come into her own again.
 Beautiful dream, Is 1t not? And yet it is not all a dream. The South may not present one of her own statesmen, but if the signs are not exceedingly deceptive, she Is going to say a loud word when the | time for choosing comes. There are good men who are not handicapped by any rebellion" record, who will be thorough ly acceptable to the true Democracy of the South and who would. if elected, l give the country an entirely creditab ble administration. That is the way we view the political horoscope.
 Of course The News couldn't avoid throwing a few boquets at it's own Party by claiming that whatever of good times We have in this section is due to Re- publican policies. If our contemporary claims that sound money is part of the Republican policy. we may admit that it has much to do with whatever prosperity we are enjoying. but The News should not lose sight of the fact that one Grover Cleveland had something to do with piac- ing the country on a sound money basis. We are not sure that the Republicans would have ever given 1t to us if they had not been forced to do 1t. However, tha: is not a matter to quarrel about. What we started out to say Is that the South Is feeling right smartly independent, both financially and politically, thank you!

 Editor The Advertiser:
 Your Christmas edition issued Sunday morning was an immense paper and con- tained much information of deep interest; many interesting things. It is quite equal to any of the New York journals.
 I find within it, "A War Story" by "J. M. C." written in novelistic style and which is truly an interesting and pathetic story. 1t is not fiction, but fact, and ap- peal to its author, Judge J. M. Carmi- cnael, to take out of 1t all the fiction and let the truth stand out unvarnished and without any coloring, as true history wor- thy of being told and kept in the ar chtVes of the State.
 The attack on the village of Newton by Captain SanderS's company and their re- pulse with three killed and others wound- ed was literally true, and the old preach CT he names was the late Pitt M.

The that he was one of these crippled SOL diers. He was one and acted as Captain and directed the firing. Ii was as honor able and righteous an act as he and his associates ever did and should be pub nshed and preserved as history of the times.
 The Judge in his war story spoke of MT. Gillum'' as the man who killed Cap tain Morgan and whose brave daughter took from the burning bed the keg of powder and saved the house from the impending explosion. His name was James Gilley. He was tried in Dale Cir cult Court after the war on a charge of assaulting another man with intent to murder and I volunteered to defend him because of his brave and patriotic con- duct during the war.

BaYAN's EXTREME FRrENDs
Are Expected to kound Up for Judge
 Parker.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Colonel William Jennings Bryan's New York friends are getting ready to come out for Chief Judge Alton B. Parker for President. It was said this afternoon that there will be a quite general acceptance of the Chief Judge by the radicals In the East as soon as Colonel Bryan lands at this port on his return from Europe.
 When the Colonel reaches New York he is expected to repeat his declaration that he will not be a candidate for the nomi- nation. The local Bryan men, with the exception perhaps of Dr. John H. Gard ner and State Committeeman John w. Cox. will accept such declaration as a release from their existing obligations to Bryanism, and flock to the standard of the Kingston jurist. From the conversa- tions with many of them since the Cleve- land letter was published, 1t is gieaned that the Parker sentiment is so firmly established that 1t cannot be altered by anything less than Bryan's candidacy for third nomination.
 Colonel Bryan would probably have in the event of his candidacy the support of the several small radical organizations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but he could not. the local Bryan men themselves con cede, divert their support from Chief Judge Parker to any candidate of his own suggestion, like Judge Bookwalter, or Governor Garvin, nor to men of his school of radical politics like Tom Johnson or William R. Hearst of New York.
