ADVERTISED EXTENSIVELY
Marion Butler and His Crowd
Advertised in Three New York
Papers For Repudiated Bonds

---O-irAS
Washington Cor, Oct. a1st,, Raleigh New,
and Observer.
The New York Evening Post :
only one of number of power
full mediums in the financial cen
tre OF the country employed by
Marion Butler when he Matched
his scheme to induce the holders
of carpet-bag and scalawag
bonds to put their claims in his
hands for collection. A search
OF newspaper files at the con-
gressional library today dis
closed the fact that Butler used
the advertising columns of both
The New York Sun and The
New York Times when he de.
clded to become the broker for
the collection of these dishonor-
able and disrenutable class of
bonds.
The advertisement from The
New York Evening Post, which
The News and Observer sprung
on the people of the State last
week appeared in identical Ian
guage in both The Sun and The
Times of New York, in the is
sues of April 28th. 1905. Both
advertisements were in double
column display on the financial
page. The words ''The collect
tion of State bonds repudiated in
whole or in part were in very
large advertising display type.
Buffers signature to the adver-
tisement was in black type. The
advertisement was placed up 50
as to attract the attention of
readers.
The reason that Butler and
Pettigrew and their associates
advertised so extensively and at
so great a cost for the collection
of these carpet-bag bonds was
due to the fact that there was a
rival syndicate in the field en-.
deavorlng to get possession OF
these worthless securities.
They wanted to corner the mark.

opposition syndicate was headed
by Edwin L. Andrews and John

papers for the collection of
these scalawag bonds.

gang in the field several days.
On the twenty-ffth of March the

in the New York papers. Then
it was that Butler and his crowd

for many years with catarrh of th'

cough, day and night. He tried doctors
and many remedies. At last his atten

remedy that relieved the others which
have been referred to above. He claim

A New Departure.

A new departure in the line of
newspaper business for North
Carolina has just been made by
The Times of Raleigh. This big
daily has reduced it's price by
mail to 81 SO per year, payable in
in advance. Some weeks ago this
paper ran a special bargain price
and the results were so fatter-
ing that the management decided
to give the people of the State a
daily newspaper for the price of
$3.50 per year. J. V. Simms,
editor and publisher of the paper,
announces at the same time that
many more improvements are to
be made in the future. The Times
will do no more credit business
but will be strictly cash in ad-
vance.

Butler and Pettigrew resented
the intrusion of the opposition
syndicate is disclosed in their ad-
vertlsement published in The
| Evening Post, The Sun and The
Times. They gave expression to
their resentment in this Ian
guage: This committee has no
connection with any other COM
mlttee, and it knows that it is
alone in position to avail itself
on the benefits of the above men,
toned decision. This was the
reply OF the Butler crowd to TIE
advertisement of the Andrews
Carlisle syndicate that appeared
in the New York papers.
Marion Butler has been caught
with the goods on him, and the
defense that he is endeavoring
to prepare after taking time to-
communicate with his conspira-
tors will not save his face. If he
had defense to make he would
have put it before the people the
day the evidence was presented.
In the meantime he could inter-
est the people of North Carolina
by telling them what he has
done with the carpet-bag bonds
that he solicited and collected.
These Infamous papers would be
safer in South Dakota than in
North Carolina, and perhaps
Pettigrew is the custodian of
them. He has been the main
prop of Butler since he en-
barked upon the bond brokerage
business.
The Robesonian., 1910-11-07

II the truth were known, the proba-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis-'
tence. We have great many unsolic-
tied testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en-
tirely relieved them of catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, if you have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms Of Stomach Catarrh.
1.-THE affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use Of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As chronic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state Of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
Of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is COM
mon occurrence.
| "Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri-
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom-
ach frequent and persistent.
flood produces dull headache, and 4
feeling of general nervous distress
Constipation usually quite marked"
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions DR.. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States

THE CHERRY
APHIS.

The advice of Prof. H. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, was asked by
resident of the Cumberland Valley
a sto what to do for his cherry trees,
which every spring for the last two
years have been badly damaged by
black lice destroying the young
shoots as well as the stems bearing
the cherries.
The reply of Professor Surface
was as follows:
The insect injuring your cherry
tree is the black plant louise, often
called the cherry aphis. One of the
best remedies is to spray with one
pound of whale oil soap in five gall
Ions of water, just after the leaf
buds open, but before the leaves are
expanded, and, of course, before the
flowers come. The spraying should
not be done if the young lice are
not seen to be present. 1t should
be held for immediate application
when you do see them. Watch for
them on the leaves, and when they
come, give them a spraying before
the leaves curl.
One important point is to reach
them before they curl in the leaves.
After the leaves have curled the
material will not come into direct
! contact with them, and they will not
I be killed. Ten per cent. kerosene
| emulsion can also be used for this,
making it as a regular soap emul-
| sion, or sour milk emulsion, as de-
/ scribed in the Monthly Bulletin of
/ the Division of Zoology, of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agri-
culture, Harrisburg, for June, 1909"

THE
STOPPING CROWS
FROM PULLING CORN.

A farmer of one of the central
countries wrote to State zoologist
II. A. Surface, Harrisburg, about
soaking corn in either coal tar or
dilute carbolic acid to keep crows
from pulling up newly-planted corn.
He said that he suffered much dam
age in past years through the depre-
dations of crows, and wants to get
ahead of them this year.
Professor Surfaces answer to this
letter contained the following:
1T is commonly reported that corn
should be soaked a few minutes in
water containing a solution of coal
tar or gas tar, and then spread and
allowed to dry. This will make the
corn so bitter that the crows will be
suspicious of it and will not eat it
for fear of being poisoned. l pre-
sumo dilute carbolic acid would
serve the same purpose but / am
not certain about this.
Different devices have been recon-
mended to keep the crows from pull
ing corn, one of which is strings
stretched around and across the
corn field. 1t is also recommended
to SOW corn on top of the ground
about the time it commences to
shoot through the soil, in order to
feed the crows at this time, so they
will not pull the grain that is plant
ed 1t is best for person to try
one or more methods and make a
practice of that which he finds best "
