Some of the propositions in the program
of the Sim Fein party. as have already
said. appeal very strongly to the patriot
ism of the Irish people; others are so
fantastic as to destroy confidence in the
Judgment Of it's leaders. For example, they
recently issued an appeal to the news
papers and to the public to use no paper
or stationery except Of Irish manufacture
which might have been to the advantage
Of the country IL there were any paper
miles in Ireland. Again. they advocate
Irish ownership of all public utilities.
They want Irish capitalists to buy up the
stock Of all the railways street car lines
and other public enterprises and employ
none but Irishmen in their administration
which might be done II there were a good
deal more capital In the country. But as
long as the Irish people are too poor to
pay for the stock 1t would seem a little
premature for them to undertake to carry
out these Sim Fein recommendations.
National Legislature Proposed.
The first plank in the program OF the
Sim Fein platform is a national Irish
legislature. endowed with moral authority
to enact laws and recommend policies for
the adoption of the Irish people. This
legislature is to be composed of the men,
bers Of the county councils, the poor law

It was apparent that he needed the

that reaches from head to foot, all over

from personal knowledge that Hoods

1t invigorates the blood and speeds it
along through artery and really fits
men and women, boys and girls, to
enjoy cold weather and resist the at

its benefits are lasting. There may be

DANDRUFF AND
ECZEMA CURED
Hair Had Been Falling Out enYears
Itching, ScaIy Eczema appeared
on Scalp Countless Remedies
Failed Suffering Ended
BY HALF A SET OF
CUTlCURA REMEDIES,

"'When sixteen years old I noticed a
dryness in my scalp and some hair fall
ing out. This condition grew steadily
worse for the next ten years, although
/ used bottle after bottle Of different
remedies such as C@'s, D., SIS,
and countless others whose names I have
forgotten. have also consulted several
physicians who gave no permanent re-
lief. About a year ago, after using one
OF the remedies, I noticed my hair fall
ing out more and my forehead bearing
small scaly and running sores which
sometimes appeared red and infamed.
In January of this year, when thor
oughly disguised and discouraged, I got
a set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills and gave them
a fair trial. Within a few weeks the
terrible itching had subsidized and there
was a general improvement in hair and
scalp. In two months my scalp was as
free and clear of dandruff and eczema
as though l were never troubled with it
and there are no more hairs falling out
but quantities of new hairs coming in.
l ave not yet used one half the first
set of the Cuticura Remedies. I trust
that the story of my case will be read
by many similar sufferers and will
prompt them to take advantage OF a

1t was a great pleasure to all our

confined to his home for ten days with
an attack of the grip.
MI. and Mrs. H. P. Dortch, Jr., have

of Virginia of 1902.
Mrs. J. Dallas Howell, who has been
an operative patient in the Wilson hos

home this afternoon, convalescent, and
her many friends here are indeed glad
to see her back again, restored to her

of this city. Mrs. Ange left yesterday
at noon to attend the funeral and in
her great sorrow and irr~eparable be-

her friends here.
Mr.. w. H. Goodwin, who, although
one of the best known and most sue
cessful contractors and builders in the

farm to the east of the city, where, dur

he a ia pig executed that tipped
the beam at 700 pounds.
The Goldsboro Shoe Company, that
is managed by that t~ireless and ALWAYS
cordial and everywhere popular young
business man Mr.. Jas. NJ. Allen, has
had a record of continuous growth and
marvellous success since it's organiza-
