symptoms of Epileptic Fits or any
nervous twitching or trembling,
should use Elixir kosine at once, the
only guaranteed cure.

our most sanguine expectation. The
many cases that have come under our
personal observation that have been
vastly improved and benefited, place us
in a position to recognize remedy of
true merit.

markable preparation, we have become
very enthusiastic. We do not hesitate
to give our personal guarantee to any
one who is afflicted with this terrible
disease, Epilepsy
Elixir Kosine is free from alcohol,
cocaine, morphine or opiates. 1t is so
uniformly successful that it is sold with

1t is just about six months before
| the primary in the city election, but
already has the political pot begun TO
boil and from the way people are talk
| ing On the streets one would think the |
election only a few weeks off. Seldom |
it is that the people are not talking |
politics for as soon as the primary was |
over for the nomination of county |
candidates, politicians began to talk
about the municipal campaign. They
are starting up much earlier than they
did two years ago for then it was after
Christmas before much talk was done
along this line. Such is by no means
the case this year and in six months
time things should get very warm.
Some of the candidates, it is under
stood, are already hustling around. 1t
has not been many years since the
people were in a stir nearly all the
time in regard to city officials for they
were elected for a term of only one
year. 1t is now some better, and they
have chance to get rested before an
other campaign starts Municipal cleo
, tions in Wilmington are generally
hard fought contests. Being more can
didates than usual this year will have
tendency to mix matters up more
I | than usual.
| Four candidates are heard of SO far
and list includes the present incum-
: bent. Mayor Alfred NJ Waddell, Ex-
= Mayor William E. Springer Alderman
|. P. O. Moore, and Alderman E. F.
Johnson.
This is not Col. Waddell's first term
as mayor for he held the office prior
Ii to the time that Mr. Springer was
mayor. Mr.. Springer served one term
and for several years prior to that
; was a member of the hoard of alder
o men. The race one year ago last
: April was a very warm one and eX
d ceedingly close, Mayor Waddell hav
ing been elected by majority of q
of votes. The primary was held on Apri
le 18th and the total vote was 2, 400

There was a fire yesterday morning
On board the British steamship Mar
thara" and about 200 bales Of cotton
were damaged by fire and some damage
was done by water. The cotton was
not entirely burned but only charred.
A telephone alarm was sent in yes
o'clock to the fire department but in
some way a mistake was made as to the
location and the apparatus first went
to the Wilmington compress which
is above the SeabOard station and when
they reached there it was found that
tn efire was in the Champion compress
at the foot of Walnut street. The fire
was in the third hatch of a steamer
which had just finished taking on a
cargo of cotton. The pumps at the
compress were put to work and this
combined with the fire department and
two streams from the tug Navassa,

were soon extinguished. 1t is very
probable that the loss will be adjusted
today.
