Heroic Test. but Sure.

A sufferer from nervous diseases
had been in the hands OF the doctor

was cured

list, but before pronounce you en-.

final test Here are two books. Read
one of them tonight for about three
hours before you go to bed, and the
other tomorrow night II, when you
go to sleep. you dream about the
stories you have just read II you live
through the scenes again and see and
talk with the characters, you will have
to come back for further treatment.
But il, on the other hand, you either
do not dream at all or else dream
about something entirely different
from these books, you are a well
man.
The stories provided were OF the
hairratsing variety. calculated to
make deep impression upon any
man, nervous or otherwise. but the
patient laid them down at the end Of
the threeh0urs' session and sought A
dreamless couch. AS the result of that
test of nerves the doctor pronounced
him cured.

Those who imagine that Saturday
primary election indicates to any ex
tent, the disposition of the people OF
Cairo toward Mayor Parsons are prob
ably very much mistaken Assuming
that the expression. as It appears on
the face Of the returns, was free and
fair one as intended by the voters, II
was at best influenced by ,consldera
tions other than such as relate 10 M.
Parsons record as mayor OF Cairo,
and il was an expression by the Re
publican voters only, which is probab
IL less than half the citizenship of
Cairo. In an election when all the
people OF Cairo take a part, and when
only his record as mayor OF CAIRO, or
as an official of Alexander county, Is
concerned, the result would. be as
much in his favor stoday as It was in
the past, or more SO. For, say what
YOU will, no man would pass judg
ment upon him fairly, can deny that
Cairo is very much a better city, in
every respect, than it was when Mr..
Parsons frst became mayor-no un-
prejudiced man viii say that he has
not done much good, earnest work for
the city--more than any OF his pre-
decessors for many years past; and
none will deny that. so far from de.
serving rebuke, such as some of his
enemies chose to see in the Saturday
election, he deserves and will have
the lasting good viii of the people
which no doubt will be expressed EN-
phaticafly at the proper time.

The Unexpected happpens.

1t Is somewhat remarkable and
altogether unusual that the late
primary should have been char
acterized by a feature that is en-
tirely new and seems to have
been quite general. While the
State candidates were advocated
strenuously and with great
amount of heated campaigning,
there was little open advocacy
of local candidates. A retlcence
was observed that is not the
customary feature of political
contests. The results have been
unexpected and surprising. Men
have been returned to Office
whose chances were not cOnsid-
cred. Likewise there have been
left no bitterness nor. animosities,
aad the results have been grace
fully and good naturally accepted.
This demonstrates that elections
can he held without bitterness.

denotes the power of public
opinion, where wisely and con-
