AN OLD MEDICINE
IN A NEW FORM, PHYSICIANS ARE
PLEASED.
Druggist W. W. Parker Says: vinoI is
A New Form of the Oldest and
Best Tonic in the World.

Science conferred a great boon on hui
mainly when two eminent French chem
lists discovered how to extract from the
cod S liver all the curative elements con-
tanned in cod liver oil, but without drop
OF oil or grease, and thus produce Ninol
at is no longer necessary to load the
stomach with old-fashione greasy cod
liver oil or emulsions to obtain the cura-
tive properties of cod liver oil, for Vinol
is like taking the kernel from the nut. the
oil or the grease in which the curative
elements were enveloped has been dis
carded, and we offer the people of Hen
derson the concentrated essence of the
medicine found in cod liver oil, without a
drop OF oil or grease to upset the stom-
ach and retard it's work.
For centuries doctors and druggists
alike have looked upon cod liver oil as
the best tonic, strength-creatOr and body
builder in the world, but have acknowl-
edged that its one great drawback was
the grease which it contained With this
grease all eliminated, we offer the people

Mr. J. B. kenner, Deputy Clerk OF the
Superior Court Of Atlanta. Ga, writes:
''Vinol is the ideal preparation Of cod
liver oil; it purifies ard enriches the

day Pronounced by nany the Able S
Effort They Had Ever Heard Him
flake in Vance County.
Hon. Edward W. Pou filled his ar
pointment to speak here Saturday.
1t was the day OF the Democratic
county convention and the occasion
was suspicious for the splendid
speech to which the convention at
tentively listened. Mr.. Pou was at
his best and many competent Judges
pronounced it the best speech they
had ever heard him make. Able. elo-
quent, we'll poised and logical, the
Fourth District has cause to be
proud of its Representative in Con-
gress, and the people are going TO
elect him again by larger majority
than ever. Mr.. Pou has been faith
full, alert and useful member and has
grown upon his constituency and
the country.
Always possessed of the gift of elo-
quence since We have known him, we'll
informed, mature in Judgment and
easily one of the ablest among the
younger generation of North Caro-
linians in public affairs Mr.. Pou has
improved greatly as a campaign
speaker since he last spoke to a Vance
county audience. His speech Satur-
day was masterful and convincing.
AS was to have been expected he dis
cussed National affairs principally.
His arrangement of the Republican
party was severe-stinging in criti-
cism and powerful in denunciation.
He referred to the history of that
party in the State and in the nation
and drew a comparison between
Roosevelt's administration and his
predecessors, Russell's and Aycock' s.
A correspondent of the News and
Observer says this of Mr.. Pou's
speech:
1t was probably the greatest speech
ever delivered in Vance county. The
speaker was absolute master of his
audience, melting them to laughter and
moving them to tears at his will Many
of the older men in the audience were
heard to say that it was the ablest
speech they had ever heard. The speaker
eloquently and ably contrasted the
record of the two parties in National
affairs, and held up President Roosevelt
to the ridicule and scOrn OF his audience
for his many sins of omission and COM
mission. He was especially effective in

his presentation of the Booker Washing
ton incident and he moved his audience
to indignation when he eloquently pOr-
trayed the scene in the Republican Ma
tiOnal convention. when q negro boy and
a white girl appeared hand in hand and
marched to the front of the platform
with flags in their hands. He denounced
the Republican platform for it's threat to
reduce Southern representation, thereby
reopening the race question in the South.
which the Southern people had hoped
they had settled by the amendments
which they have adopted to their State
Constitutions. He was especially severe
on the delegates from North Carolina to
that convention, who sat in the cOnyen-
ton and acquiesced in silence to this
attack upon their State and section.
He exploded the claim of Republican
made prosperity aud showed the utter
absurdity of the Republican boast that
that party had raised the price of cotton
and other farm products. by stating that
il the Republican administration could
put the price OF cotton up to II cents per
pound, that administration could keep it
there, and that the administration was
rObbing the people when it suffered the
price to fall below that figure Mr. POu
lower under the administration OF Me
Kinley than at any time since the war
that is that the price averaged lower
for the year 1898 than in any other year
in the history OF the staple.
Our Congressman conclusively proved
to the people that many articles manu-
featured in the United States and carried
to foreign markets are sold cheaper than
tie same articles were sold to the Ameri-
can consumer, and that the Dingley tariff
and the trusts built up under the protec-
ton OF that tariff were responsible for

In eloquent words the gifted represent
| ative OF the people portrayed the calm
and judicial qualities and temperament
| of the Democratic candidate and drew a
striking contrast between Judge Parker
| and the rash, impetuous, unsafe Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
/ Leaving National questions, Mr.. Pou
devoted himself to State affairs. He con-
| trasted thu record of the two parties in
the State in a mastery way. Among
other things he said that the Democratic
party did not propose to retrace a single
step which it had taken in the interest oil
temperance and morality in the passage
OF the Watts bill by the last Legislature
He explained that measure entirely to
the satisfaction of his audience He
probably secured more applaus, than at
any other time during his speech when
he declared in emphatic terms that the
party would stand by this law. He ap
proved the record Of Governor Aycock'
administration on education and showed
that very small per cent. OF the money
spent for schools went to the negro-ir

the State were getting under the school
law IN large measure the full taxes paid
by their race. He went on to say that
he hoped measure could be devised by
which the white children could get the
full school taxes paid by their race after
providing for an elementary system of
schools for the negroes.
MIR. Pou closed his speech in an eloquent
eulogy of Governor Aycock and his wise
administration of State affairs. He
praised the Governor as brave and
courageous officer, who had dared to do
his duty, although much clamor was
raised against his policy.
Never had a speaker more apprecia-
tive audience and round after round of
applause greeted the telling points in the
speech. 1t is believed here that much
good was done in Vance county and
that it can be put down to do its full
duty in November

died at her home in this place about
half past four O'Clock Monday after
noon. She had been sick about three

one OF its best known and best be-
loved women. Her sickness had en-
listed the interest and sympathy of
the entire community and the prayers
OF our people assembled daily to the
throne of the Most High for her re-
covery. But it was not to be so and
in humble submission we bow to the
will OF Him who doeth all things we'll
and appointeth the time of our COM

Mrs, Owen was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. NJ. Curtin, of Oxford.
She was born in Henderson where
the early years OF life were spent.
She was fine woman beautiful in
character as she was attractive in
person and to know her was to love
and admire her. A devoted husband
and little daughter, father, mother,
sisters and brothers, together with
numerous Other relatives and a wide
circle of friends and acquaintance
are left to mourn her loss.
The funeral was conducted from
the home at a quarter past one
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. Rev.
J. D. Larkins conducted the service
assisted by Rev. j. w. Willard, of
Baltimore, her former pastor, and
Rev. J. Fl. Henderlite, OF the Presby-
terrain church. There was a large at
tendance of Borrowing and sympa-
thizing friends and relatives from the
town and surrounding country, Ok
ford, Durham, South Boston and
elsewhere. The floral tributes were
profuse and beautiful many OF them
being among the most exquisite and
costly pieces ever seen at a funeral in
Henderson. These came from home
and distant places and attested the
high regard and loving esteem in
which this good woman was held.
The body was conveyed to Oxford
