Itching, Burning skin Disease Routed
Without Use Of Injurious Drugs
Great inventors have been praised
for surrendering the secrets Of their
discoveries. Practically the same thing
happened in the medical world in the
case OF DR.. Decatur D. Dennis, the
eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
Or. Dennis in his own Office prae-
tce discovered that pure vegetable
oil Of wintergreen. properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
ticaly a sure specific ror eczema, salt
rheum. psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, and
other itching skin diseases. But the
oil of wintergreen alone was found in
effective. 1t required other mild in
gradients. such as glycerina and thy
mol, compounded with the wintergeen
to produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs SO long used
in an attempt to doctor the blood,
whereas modern science has deter
mined that eczema is first and all the
time skin disease.

merits Of D. D. D. Prescription, call at

A Farmers View of Advertising.

NAeudHSe.
If mail order houses get 81,
900 cut of the county each
month, that belongs to the
home merchants, the fault is
with the merchants themselves.
These houses advertise and give
us prices Oh everything. They
tell US what they have and what
they want for it. OF course we
get soaked once in awhile.
Then we try some other house.
Most of the home merchants
who advertise don't quote prices
They neglect to tell us what
we want to know-the prices
Of course we can go to the.
store and ask. but you all know
how it is-one does not know
so we'll what he wants to buy
when he is at home. And hel (
is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send
their advertising matter into
Our homes, and we read it when
we haven't anything else to
do.
Right here is where the
home merchants fall down. If
they talked their business to us
in our homes the same as the
mail order houses do, the peo
pie would be IN to See them
next time they came to town and
IN many extra trips to see the
things at once that they didn't
know they wanted until they
were brought to their atten-
ton.
"The home merchant can
save the expense of getting out
a catalogue. We read the home
paper more carefully than We
do the catalogue, and if the
merchants want to talk bust
ness with us let them talk in
the home papers and put it Sc
We mean business. The mer.
chant likely, nine times out 0:
ten, sells his goods as cheapl'
as the mail order houses, and
believe, i'll many things they al,
much cheaper, but how are VIZ

about it?'

Craig. Kitchin. Horr

Out of a total of these 10 votes
allotted to these counties Craig
gets "A 81, Kitchin 6.37 and Horn
4 81. Or these counties also
three are in Mr.. Craig's congress
sional district, two in the ninth
and four in the eighth districts.
The results in these counties
is source Of much qualification
to his friends, for such a large
vote had not been expected. It
is perfectly evident that MIR.
Craig will carry the remaining
counties in his own congression-
al district sOlidly.
WILL LEAD In CENTRAL PART.
AS the situation now appears
and the reports which have been
received indicate, he will get a
good majority in. the central por-
tiOn of the State, outside Of the
fifth district. In this district,
while Mr.. Kitchin will get ma
jority, as has always been expect
ed and conceded, Mr.. Craig will
have good support, as will also
Mr.. Horne.
Good judges of politics do not
think that Mr.. Kitchin will Sc
cure more than two thirds or
three-foUrths of the votes of his
own district, and that he will get
a majority in no other district in
the State except the second,
which is represented in Congress
! by his brother, Mr. Claude Kitch-
in. 1t is conceded that he will
get q majority in this district
with the remainder of the votes
about evenly divided between
| Messrs. Craig and Horne.
I THREE DISTRICTS WILL SPLIT
EVEN.
I'm the first, third and sixth
districts the friends of Mr.. Craig
expect and have good reason. to
believe, that he will secure fully
as many votes as Mr.. Kitchin. It
seems certain that Mr.. Horne
will carry a majority in his own
district. The friends of Mr..
Kitchin are claiming the east, but
the prospects seem to be that Mr.
Craig will get many votes east
of Raleigh as Mr.. Kitchin,e1cep,
in the second district, as before
stated, which is represented ir
! Cong ress by his brother.''

the Probability That He VIII
Win on First Ballot.
Charlotte Observer. 18th.
1T is perfectly evident that
Craig is far in the lead and his
friends now hope that he will win
the nomination for Governor on
the first ballotin the convention, "
was the comment yesterday to
an observer man of one Of the
most prominent and best in
formed citizens of the State,
speaking of the present guberna-
torial race. The gentleman in
question has the reputation of
keeping his finger on the move
ments of candid ates as well, or
better, than any man in North
Carolina, and for that reason his
words are always weighed heav
lily by his friends as well as his
enemies. He is in favor of Craig,
as the above words readily indi-
cate.
There seems to be no shadow
of a doubt that Craig will hold his
lead until the convention, and in
the case that he does fail to re
ceive the nomination on the first
ballot, his friends believe that he
will carry the State iu
the convention by at least 1Oi
votes. Conventions and pri-
maries have been held in ten
counties so far and the result has
been wonderfully favorable tC
