MR.. R0YSTER'S ANNOUNCE
MENT.

Oxford, MIC. March IS, 1908.
To the voters of the Fifth Con-
gressional District:
| am a candidate for the nomi-
nation for Congress in this Dis
trict, subject to the action of the
coming Democratic Convention.
Since attaining my majority,
twenty two years ago, I have la
bored:earnestly for the cause of
the Democratic party, and as to
how we'll / have done my duty
In this respect ! refer you to the
people of Granville and adjoining
counties.
I do not claim, nor do I be-
lieve any man has the right to
claim, this high honor upon the
grounds Of party service alone.
I believe every man who loves
his State, who has a due regard
for her best interests, and who
has reverence for the sacredness
of home, for the purity and pro-
lection of woman, should be
proud of any work done for that
party, which has given to North
Carolina the good government of
which her people boast.
1t should be the pride of every
patriotic North Carolinian to DO
his best in such a cause.
Ihave no pet schemes in poll
tics. nor have l any private or
personal platform.
/ believe in the principles of
the Great Democratic party
which have made it so dear to
the hearts of the people and
which make for civic righteous
ness and equal rights.
The platforms announced by
the State and National Conven.
tions. through the wise and Pc
triotic leaders of the party, shall
be my guides.
am simply Democrat, with
an abiding faith in my party,
and Ia fixed determination tic
serve my people. Their needs
and demands shall be my watch.

I most earnestly ask your sup

THE GRADY SOCIETY WAS VICTORIOUS
Contest Between Two Literary So.
CieiieS Held Friday Night.

1i0t0O MOhu AiiuuJ NhJhs
1t is considered by a large num-
Der on the park that the fercest
debate that has ever been held
at the Trinity Park School in a
long time took place there last
Friday evening. 1t was an inter-
society affair, and like all debates
between the Grady and Calhoun
literary societies during the past,
was looked forward to with much
interest. The entire school was
present at this debate and every
man took a decided stand for one
or the other of the sides. The
societies were present in body,
the Calhouus being in one part OF
the hall while the other society
was in another part of the audi
forum. Great support was given
to the representatives from the
societies, so much so that there
was almost contest Of roofing
between the twogroups ofstudents.
The question discussed was
Resolved. That the United
States should increase the size of
her navy till it is equal to that OF
any nation in the world The
Calhouns had the affirmative side,
and was represented by Messrs.
Walter Glasgow Sheppard, oil
Greenville and William Albert
Cade, of Kipling; and the negative
side was defended by the Grady
Society, Messrs. Joseph Warren
Burgess, of Elizabeth City and
Thaddeus Earl Wilkerson, Jr. oil
Roxboro, appearing on that side.
While the Grady Society won
the honors on this occasion, il
was by no means an easy matter.
The truth is that the negative
side had all it could handle, and
the sides were so evenly matched
that there was great doubt in tn,
minds Of those present who reall,
would win in the contest. Every
man on the debate acquitted him
self in a most creditable manner
being self possessed and presenting
argument that was hard to rebut
The speakers had fifteen minute
each on the first speech; and oil
rejoinder the first speakers ha'
five minutes, and the last speaker
seven minutes each.
Mr.. Sheppard was the first t
appear on the firmative. Th
burden Of his argument was tina
this country needs a strong nav

: He gave the large amounts tina

each of these ships on the port SIDE, one
near the how and the other near the
stern, and slipping their cables taken
them into 20 feet of water-4 feet less
than the Merrimac drew. The latter
ship could not then have approached
either one of them for the purpose OF
ramming, which was her, best hold,
while the tug boats could have easily
maneuvered the two ships so as to pre-
sent their full broadsides to the ram,
and in all probability dozen good broad
sides from the guns of heavy caliber on
the Cumberland would have alone placed
the ram hors du combat. This can be
presumed from the report of those on
board the Merrimac, who said that the
one full broadside of the Cumberland
striking her caused her to reel like a
drunken man. In the meantime, if all
the Union fleet of small gunboats that
drew but little water had been inshore of
her and pelting away with shot and shell
at her ports, so that she could not have
opened them to fire on us without great
danger to the men thus exposed to our
fire, l have no doubt but that she could
have been either sunk or driven off in an
hour. This theory is sustained by facts
in relation to the fights with rebel iron
clads.

and Ease

With klCh BLOOD ana STRONG nerves ReelS
the Trying Times of Lie With safety
and Ease.
To women who suffer when the age of forty,
or Whereabouts, is reached, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills give prompt and permanent relief. And,
if taken as this time is approached, their tonic
action in purifying and building up the blood
strengthens the system SO that this crisis in
woman S life may be passed in safety and COM
parative ease The pills, therefore, are of
special help to women who are weak, run down
and nervous, for in this condition the body is
not prepared to bear the added burden put
upon it during the change.
Through neglecting to build up her strength
Mrs. L. H. Howard, Of No. 220 Wayne avenue,
Dayton, Ohio, suffered for three years. Dur
ing this time she was treated by doctors and
tried many medicines but found no relief until
she used DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Every
woman should profit by careful reading OF
Mrs Towards experience, which follows:
"When was in my thirty ninth year was

listess with no ambition to work. My appe-
tite was poor and my stomach so weak that
food would ferment on it, causing it to turn
sour. Then my head would ache and l would
get so dizzy that l would vomt. My hands
and feet We're cold was extremely pale and
my finger nails were blue. My circulation was

without relief and upon the advice of friend
tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills. In week or
so l noticed a change for the better and in a
few weeks more l was cured. l am now in
good health and have gained in weight and

DR.. Williams Pink Pills alone and hope l will

Women will find in DIR. Williams Pink Pills
the tonic exactly suited to their needs. Most OF

DIR. Williams Pink Pills are also invaluable
