Bryan Will Make No Speeches

Bryan Will Make No Speeches.
Greensboro Correspondence, 18th, of Tht
Charlotte Observer.
A leading Democrat of North
Carolina who talked with William
J. Bryan recently informed The
Observer correspondent to-day
that Mr.. Bryan has decided t,
change his plan of campaign il
he should receive the Democratic
nomination for the presidency
this year, SO far as Swinging
around the circuit" is concerned
In the conversation with the
North Carolina Democrat, Mr.
Bryan said he would not traye
over the country and makt
speeches as be did in 1896 an6
| 1910, but would content himself
; with making speech of accept
ance and receiving a few delega
tions at his home. In view oftht
fact that Mr.. Bryan is generally
accepted as the nominee of TIL
Democracy this year, his decla u"
alton TO the North Carolina Dem
ocrat comes as an interestiu;
contribution to the political new
of the day.

human RACE AFFLICTED
WITH QUEER DISEASE
Cooper Says Internal Parasites Cause Much
Suffering Everywhere.

Contrary to general belief, the ap-
petite is not greatly increased-it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness, however, and a
gnawing sensation in the pit OF the
stomach.
People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation is one OF Ian
guor. and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug
gish. The memory becomes not so
good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
1.-THE New Discovery, in freeing stom-
ach and bowels of all impurities, seems
to be fatal to these great worms, and
almost Immediately expels them from
the system. l wish to assure anyone
who has the experience just related
with my preparation, that there is no
cause for alarm in the matter, and
that it will as a rule mean a speedy
restoration to good health"

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by L. T. Cooper.
1t concerns the preparation which has
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leading cities:
at is now a well-known fact that
wherever / have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
pie have brought internal parasites,
or tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the nature
of the parasite, and were consequently
extremely nervous until l explained
the matter to them. In some cities so
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.

ing what these creatures are, and what
/ have learned about them in the past
"Tapeworms are much more COM
mon than would be supposed. ven.
ture to say that ten per cent. OF all
chronic stomach trouble, or what is
known as a rundown condition, Is
caused by them. An individual may

parasites and not be aware OF IT,

In explanation of his despon-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear -
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustaeh
ian Tube. When this tube Is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when It is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Aanmation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which IS nothing but an inAamed c,ndi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.
. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
a case Of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that can OF be cured b. Halls Ca
tarrn Cure. Send for circulars free.

OF Interest TO Lumber MeA-Un-
usual Case.


Raleigh Correspondence, 18th, - The viii
mingtop Star.
An appeal of great interest to
lumbermen having North Carroll
ma connections was argued in the
Supreme court today, Hulk VS..
Camp Manufacturing Co., of Vir-
GINA, from Halifax county, in
which the issue is the right of
lumber companies who have
bought tim Dor on lands for pc
Rod of say four years with the
right of renewal for two years
additional to have such deeds
renewed in cases where there
has been NO cutting of timber
during the four years, OF main
term, of the contract. The North
Carolina Supreme Court has held
in NorfolkLumber Co., VS.. Smith,
that the lumber company was
not entitled to such renewal,
but an order for rehearing has
been ordered in this Case and the
contention of the lumber compa-
MES is that courts the country
over outside of North Carolina
hold that provisions for such re.
newals are valid whether there
has been actual cutting of tim Der
during the four years or not
The brief supporting the conten-
ton of the lumber com panies filed
today is signed by fifteen lawyers,
counsel for various companies
who are backing the Camps
Company, of Virginia, in the
fight. The argument was by ex
Chief Justice James E. Shepherd
and the argument contra by E
Travis, of Halifax.
A remarkable case the Su-
preme Court decides this week
