Had a Bad Couoh.

Miss Sophia Kittlesen, Evanston,
Illinois, u. S. A., writes:
Il have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five years and have
tried many cures for it, but obtained
very little help.
''Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and L did.

All for Johnson .

we hear a good deal these days
that is astonishing, but this from the
Newton Enterprise quite takes the
cake:
Let anybody make a poll of the
democrats he may happen TO meet
in day or in a week, in town or
country, and he will lind that Johnson
men will outnumber the Bryan men
four to one"
Well, well, we'll! If this is even half
true. what will happen next? If Ca
tawba county is in this shape, what
is to be thought of some others? The
Enterprise, however, is reliable and
knows it's people up that way. But
think of the change! Only a few years
ago it was the greatest populist coun-
ty in the state and low here it is
going back on Bryan. It's real sad

Senator Overman Again

The interest we nave IN the coming
election is largely the reelection OF
Senator Lee S. Overman. The people
of Concord and Cabarrus county, We
judge, are more interested in the cleo
ton of Senator Overman than any
other man. The democrats of this
county have this matter very much at
heart, and their very first considera-
ton is for Lee Overman. This is the
case with The Tribune and we believe
is the feeling of nearly every demo-
crat in Cabarrus. We do not believe he
stands any chance Of defeat, but it
is time for an ending of this refer
ence to- other candidates and the like
lihood of any other democrat for sena-
tor AS far as we are concerned, can
didates in the approaching election
must be either for or against Over
man. If for him let them say so, if
against him let it be known We be-
lieve that the best interest of the
state demands Mr.. Overman's re-elec-
tion.-Concord Tribune.

FORTUNE FOR A DAY In JAIL.
Mr. Alills4ps Experience In Hickory's
RastiIe May Bring Him Wealth.

The Lumberton Robesonian dep6ees
and says that Mr. ID. w. MilIsaps. Of
Lumberton, languished in the common
hastile Of the town Of Hickory one af-
ternoon last July, and as a result Mr..
AiIlsaps expects to realize some mil
HONS. more or less.
Millsaps was selling cutlery and the
authorities OF Hickory demanded tina,
he pay a tax. He refused and was ask
ed to give bond I'm the sum of $50 to
appear and answer at Catawba super
ior court Not having the $50 handy
Ar. Nillsaps was incarcerated In the
city prison On his way TO prison he
bought copy of Harper's Weekly TO
wlaile away the tedium of confinement.
and while reading the aforesaid pub
hcation he say, says the Robesonian,
"a statement to the effect that the
government spends hundreds of thou
sands of dollars yearly for twine used
in postofices for bundling letters; that
many inventors have tried to invent
q substitute for twine which would
meet the demand for cheapness and
speed; and that the invention of
practical substitute would be worth
a million to the inventor.
That was where Mr.. Millsaps con-
nected with his idea. In reading his
Oxford Bible he is accustomed tohold in
lis hand the rubber band which is
placed around the Bible when it is not
i'm use. Mr.. Millsaps took counsel with
himself and decided that two bands
like that properly placed in relation to
each other. would do the trick, and 10.
1t was done! An exceedingly simple de-
vice 1t Is, but NO one had thought Of
just that very thing before"
This description of Mr.. Millsaps' in
vention Is not as clear as mud, but
nevertheless. A little later a friend
came to his aid, he was released from
durance vile and at the next term of
Catawba court he was held guiltless
and discharged.
In addition to the million he will
get from the government for his de-
vice Mr.. Millsaps, says the Robesonian,
will ask the town of Hickory for $10,-
600 for damage to his reputation and
mental anguish endured while he Ian
guished in prison that July day, and
he is confident the municipality OF
Hickory will have to come across.

4 Religious Enthusiast.

The Elizabeth City Tar Heel says
that John White, farmer Of the Bel
videre section of Perquimans county,
recently professed sanctification. Soon
after he had dream, he says, and Ia
the dream he was directed to go to
Cairo, Egypt, and preach santifcation
tc the natives White communicated
his dream to his relatives and friends
but they advised him to wait awhile.
AS his means and hs education were
limited and he had a wife and three
children, the difficulty Of trip to
Cairo, the different nationalities and
strange tongues there and the mat
ter of support for himself and family,
were all pointed out.
But White insisted that he could
not disobey a direct call from the
Lord, who he was sure would pro-
vide for all emergencies, and the Tar
Heel says he sold all his property and
with his wife and three children left
for New York, where they expect to
take passage for Egypt. No tidings
have been received from them since
their departure.
White, says the Tar Heel, is about
80 years old and has lived on a farm
about all his life. His wife was an

we're leading it to the White House.
Here we have Foraker and Taft
already embracing each other, figura-
lively speaking, and getting ready for
he bargaining that will bring Foraker
md his friends to the enthusiastic
rescue of the ticket in Ohio. So it
will be in New York and other states.

'My Dear Sherman"
New York World)

Whether elected to the Vice-Presi-
dency or not, the Hon James School
craft Sherman, of Utica, already
shines in history.
1t was Mr.. Sherman who, as Chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee, in the fall of 1906 invited
that pure-minded plutocratic pat
riot Edward H. Hartman to cOntri-
butte some of the unearned increment
toward the election of a Republican
House of Representative
1t was Mr.. Sherman who carried
the news of Mr.. Harriman's emphat-
ic refusal to the White House togeth-
er with some account of Mr. Harri-
mans heated conversation in refer
ence to a certain contribution of $780,
600 to the Republican campaign fund
in 1904 after a confidential confer
ence with the President of the Uni
ted States.
1t was to My Dear Sherman" that
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote the "shorter-and-
uglier-word" letter of Oct. S, 1906,
which reviewed the Hartman con-
versation in which he expressed
great dissatisfaction with me, and
