At the opening of the program Mrs.

was followed by the other numbers in

the most profitable crop, beans or beets?"
excited quite spirited discussion, which
was led by Mr.. Peck and Mr.. Andrews,
several others taking part. 1t was set
tied by rising vote in favor Of raising
beans.
The question was asked, "What is the
cause Of taxes being higher every year,"
The president appointed Mr.. Irish, Mr..

Nerve Diseases Readily Cured

About thirty years ago two German
physicians made the wonderful dis
covery that every portion of the body
is controlled by and supplied with
vitality by nerve centers located in diff
ferent parts OF the brain.
Later DR.. Miles, President of the
Grand Dispensary, discovered that de.
fects of these delicate centers were a
prolific cause of many weaknesses and
diseases of the various bodily organs.
If an engine does not receive sufficient
power it cannot do its work. The same
IS true of the lungs, heart, stomach,
liver, kidneys, womb, bladder, etc.
Loss of nerve power is prolific cause
OF consumption, dyspeps headache,
pain, Brights' and heart disease, nerv.

The discovery is rapidly revolution.

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 wi not only
nourish particular part of the body,
but IL will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be. its nu.
triment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their
appearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses Of Green's August
Flower. the favorite medicine of the

The Secret of Success

Forty million bottles of August
Flower sold in the United States alone
since its introduction And the de-
mand for it is still growing. Isn't that
a fine showing of success? Don't it
prove that August Flower has had
unfailing success in the cure of indi-
gestion and dyspepsia-the two great
est enemies of health and happiness?
Does it not afford the best evidence
that August Flower is a sure specific
for all stomach and intestinal disol-
derS?-that it has proved itself the
best of all liver regulators? August
Flower has a matchless record of over
thirty-f1ve years in curing the ailing
millions Of these distressing COM
plaints-a success that is becoming

HE DIMES WITH NEGROES.
Republican Nominee for the Senate In
Iredel County.

Especial to News and O~bserver.)
Statesville, IN. C., October 19.-The re-
port has been current in this county
for some time that j. A. Sisk, the re-
publican nominee. for the senate, sat
at the table and ate with negroes at
their home. While at Harmony, at a
meeting of the democratic county can
vas, an investigation was made, and
here is the result:
John Turner, a negro, stated TO the
writer and others present, that he
called J. "A. Sisk to his house as a ply
stefan to see his wife, and while he
was there supper was prepared and
SiSk invited to eat, which he did, but
before. he would eat he insisted that
Turner sit down and eat with him,
which he at first refused to do, but
upon Sisk's insisting he sat at the
same table with him and they ate
together. S. J. Williams. a negro
preacher, also stated that he met Sisk
on another occasion az Doc. Turner's
house, a negro, and that they both sat
at the same table and ate together, at
Sisk's invitation, and that while Sisk
was there at Turner's, he remarked to
Turner's wife that He would take
dinner with her another day, as she
was a good cook and he wanted her to
cook him a chicken pie" White men
Of high character say that John and
Doc. Turner stated to them at other
times that Sisk had eaten at their
homes at the same table with them,
and will make affidavit to this state
ment Of facts whenever called upon
to do so. The men who Were present
last week and heard the statement
above written VIII also make affidavit
and their names can be had any time.

Especial TO News and Ooserve-.)
Charlotte. -. c. October 2l.-Dr. 4.
j. dcKelway has instructed his attor-
neys in Charlotte 10 bring suit for dam
ages against the Observer Publishing
Company unless ample apology Is made

take is named Williamson. II is said
that he used the term serious

terial import of such term. But the
Charlotte Observer has not seen fit to
apologize through its editorial COL
umns, and several ministers including
DR.. ]. r. Howerton, pastor of The First
Presbyterian church of this city. nave
rushed into print declaring the article
misleading and damaging. This latter
fact shows conclusively that DR.. Nc
Kelway feels that his character has
suffered in consequence of the printed
report from the Pineville correspond
ent.
Inquiry at The Observer office tonight
threw no light or the pending suit.

possible that an action has been
brought against The observer company
for libel and he be ignorant of the
facts. Your correspondent t~elephoned

that he had received a message from
DIR. McKelway dated New York stating
that unless ample correction n re-

CAN 1T BE TRUE?

From the American, Of New York,
We take the following regarding the
alleged attitude of the Standard Oil
Company toward the presidential nomi-
nees OF the democratic and republican
parties:
Thomas w. Lawson, III a magazine
article, declares Theodore Roosevelt is
on the Rockefeller crowds black list;
That the oil trust forced the nomination
of Judge Parker, and that millions Of
dollars will be spent a few days before
election to buy up sufficient states TO
defeat the republican candidate.
Supplementing this remarkable ar
ticle, the Boston millionaire, stock ex-
pert and copper magnate, in his own
words tells the story of how he forced
]. Edward Addicks, the Delaware "gas
king" to accept his terms and place in
his charge the fight against Standard
Oil; the history of the great Bay State
gas fight, and a reproduction Of a mem
Orable interview had with Henry H.
Rogers.
These remarkable incidents, together
with the details of LaWson's great fight
with George w. Westinghouse against
J. p. Morgan and the General Electric
System" comprise the fourth install
ment of 'Frenzied Finance" written by
Mr.. Lawson for E~verybody's Magazine
for November.
We have not yet seen Everybody's
for November, therefore, do not know
on what Information Mr.. Lawson bases
his abatement. The announcement is
most remarkable, and we suppose
would not ave been made unless Mr..
Lawson had reason to believe it to be
true. At the same time We put little
faith in it. We do not belive the STAN
lard Oil Company cares enough either
way TO pay out a million dollars to Sc
cure the presidency for either Judge
Parker or Mr.. Roosevelt. The truth is
there is too little difference between
their views on the questions of most in
terest to that trust for it to have much
preference for one on the other. II
certainly would not consider the defeat
of either of such Importance as to in
duce it to spend millions Of dollars for
its accomplishment. If the Standard
Oil Company has any decided prefer
ence between the two We would say it
was for Mr.. Roosevelt. If the Standard
Oil Company is SO much interested in
Judge Parker's election and is willing
to spend so much money to defeat Mr.
Roosevelt We do not see why it has
allowed the democratic campaign com
mittee to get SO low in funds as to bt
forced TO sen an agent south to SOlicit
contributions. Mr.. Dawson's article nj
doubt makes mighty good reading, blu
We suspect that is all the benefit demo
Gratis will get out of the affair.

that the democratic leaders have pri-

they would gladly retreat from the
contest were they not compelled to
make a show of carrying on b CAM
paign-all Of which is a huge joke
which Senator Scott is trying TO ger

confident Of the election Of their can

well to believe in any such ~overynei-

On the other hand we do not believe

New York and he has reassuring news

the latter state it is strange that If
