TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
WAYNE COUNTY.

1 will be candidate for the nomi
nation for Treasurer of Wayne Coun-
ty at the next Democratic County Con-
vention to select county candidates
and I will appreciate your thoughtful
consideration of my long service to
the party and will be grateful for your
help.
I have always given freely and
gladly to the cause of the Democratic
party whenever my funds or services
were required, and I feel that I can.
consistently, and without apology, ask
for this evidence of your appreciation
and friendship.
1t is certainly gratifying to me to
be able to say that already large
number of Wayne County's best citi.
zens have pledged me their support
In fact, I am warranted in believing
that my expectations will be fully rea-
lized.
If nominated and elected, the bust
ness of the Office of Treasurer will, /
promise, be carried on and conducted
with conscientious care, efficiency and
fidelity.
It is generally conceded that the
Treasurer of the County should reside
in the county seat for the greater con-
venience of the public, and this being
my home, shall always be readily
found by those having business with
the Treasurer
Sincerely,
JNO. w. EDWARDS.

FOR CONGRESS.

For some time my friends have inn
portuned me to become a candidate
for Congress. I have thought the mat

cided to enter the race. I consider it
a worthy ambition to represent the
Third District in the U. S. Congress
and I take this method of announcing
my candidacy to the voters of the dis
trict, subject to the nomination Of the
Democratic Congressional Convention
If my friends accord me the honor to
s. We them I shall do as faithfully
as I know how, and to this end I
pl omise them I shall be satisfied only
when I have given my most careful
attention to every interest of the Dis
trict.

Mr.. Will Swinson, proI rietor of the
Manhattan Cafe, which is one of the
best cafes in the State and caters to
the patronage of both ladies and
gentlemen, had a most unfortunate
experience last night.
An unusually physical man, a Mr.
w. R. Pemberton, very much under
The influence of drink, came in the
cafe about II o'clock last night and
took a seat at one of the tables. There
were a number of guests being served
in the place at the time, and the wait
ers were out filling orders. Before a
waiter appeared to take Pemberton's
order he became very restless and
fractions, whereupon Mr.. Swinson
came to him and offered to take his
order himself. This seemed to infuri-
ate Pemberton, who, to do him justice
be it said, seemed to be insanely in
toXicated, and he at once rose and
made at Mr.. Swinson with drawn
knife. Mr.. Swinson tried to reason
with him, but gave back as the man
continued to bear down upon him, and
even ran into the kitchen to escape
but Pemberton followed him in there
and out into the cafe again, and as
Swinson could not get away he pre-
sented his pistol and told Pemberton
that he must desist or take the cOnse-
quences, and as the latter still ap-
preached Swinson shot him-shooting
three times before he stopped his as
sailant.
1t was an exciting time, but those
who witnessed the unfortunate oc-
currence say that Mr.. Swinson acted
entirely in self-defense.
Pemberton was promptly conveyed
to The Goldsboro Hospital, where he
is receiving every possible attention
and though suffering very much from
shock and the consequences of his
drunken debauch combined, it is hoped
this his unusual physique will tide
him over the ordeal, although it is
going to be close call.
| Mr.. Swinson is under $1,000 bond
given at the preliminary hearing this
morning, which was continued for sew
era1 days, until the nature of Mr.
Pemberton's wounds develop.
The wounded man is 36 years old
and has lived at Mt. Olive for severa
years, coming here with his father
from the North. His father is nov
with him at the hospital.

WILSON ANXIOUS
FOR EARLY VOTE
Believes Majority of Demo
Gratis Favor Repeal
IS TAKEN As ANSWER
Statement Given Out by President Is
Considered As Reply to Charges
That Democratic Platform
Calls For Free Tolls.

Washington, March 23.-President
Wilson declared today that, in seek
ing the repeal of the Panama tolls
exemption, he not only was asking
that the nation do that which it was
bound in honor to do, but was going
the way of the majority in the Demo-
cratic party He pointed out that
when the Panama Canal act passed
majority of the Democrats then in the
House voted against the tolls exemp-
ton, and that only by a coalition of
minority of Democrats with a number
of Republicans did the measure be-
come law.
This announcement was taken in
administration circles as the Presi-
dents answer to argument that the
Baltimore platform made the tolls ex-
emption Democratic doctrine. The
President is understood to believe that
the majority opinion Of the Democrats
in the House as last expressed, was
a result of more deliberate considera-
ton Of the question than was possible
at the Baltimore convention.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.

Hines, AIa.-'I must confess'', SAYS
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that
Cardui, the womanS tonic, has done me
great deal of good.
Before commenced using Cardui, |
would spit up everything ate. had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, have entirely
quit splitting up what eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and | have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are victim of any of the numer-
GUS ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM
posed ofingredients which actspecifically
on the Womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

A HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.

charlemagne Crowned as Emperor of
the Romans LOO Years Ago.
On Dec. %, in the year 800, the holy
Roman empire was born. Europe was
in the iron grasp of Charlemagne. The
great king had gone to Rome to in
vestigate charges lodged against the
pope. Leo III. The pontiff made good
his defense and ON Dec. % took a SOL
emn oath of eXculpation. Two days
later, early on Christmas morning, the
pope celebrated mass i'll the great ba-
silica of st. Peters. a church not at all
like the huge renaissance structure
reared by Bramante and Michelangelo
The editice was crowded to the
doors, for all Rome f1ocked in those
days to see the wonderful Frank, who,
like Mohammed, spread his gospel by
the sword. Charles, clad in Roman
costume, with the chlamys hanging
from his Shoulders, knelt in prayer be
fore the tomb Of st. Peter. When he
rose to his feet Leo approached and,
placing golden crown upon the kings
head, acclaimed him emperor of the
Romans. Again the pontiff folded
him in purple mantle, and great
shout went up from the people as a
greeting to the first of the new Gaze
Sars.
The scene is thus described by Egin-
hard, the historian of Charlemagne:
AT the moment when. in his place be-
fore the altar, he was bowling down
to pray Pope Leo placed on his head
a crown, and all the Roman people
shouted, Long life and victory to
Charles Augustus. crowned by God,
the great and pacific emperor of the
Romans" After this proclamation the
pontiff Frustrated himself before him
and paid him alteration. according to
the custom established in the days of
the old emperors. and thenceforward
Charles, giving up the title of patri.
clan, bore that of emperor and Au-
gustus."
A millennium later, on the banks of
the Seine, another pope crowned an
other emperor. who had planted his
throne on the wreck of the fabric
reared by Charlemagne.

LIQUID POISON.

LI0OtO FOIOONs
Beer, sometimes referred to as I'll
guild bread" is rather, according to
the verdict of physicians and scien-
lists liquid poison. DR.. Hugo Hoppe,
the famous nerve specialist of Konigs-
berg, Germany, says: Because the
symptoms of chronic alcoholism ap-
pear more slowly and are less readily
observable in the heavy beer drinker
than in the whisky drinker, the former
is more frequently met than the lat
ter But thousands and tens of thou
sands Of men who take their daily
pint are rendered stupid, silly and dis
solute by beer. Beer alcoholism in
general lowers the resistance of the
body to all diseases by injuring most
of the organs, and herein lies the
chief danger in the general wide
spread use of beer. The. death from
liver diseases among brewers in Eng
land is more than double that in all
other occupations"

A WONDERFUL CLUB.

A WONDERFUL CLUB.
Yes, l have heard that the saloon
is the poor mans club. 1t is a club
with peculiar advantages. 1t saves
the poor man from paying taxes by
keeping him everlastingly broke. 1t
shields him from the responsibility
of owning his home. 1t gives him
that peace of mind known to the fell
low who don't know where he is 60
ing to live next Monday. 1t enables
30 per cent Of the poor men who
are killed in factories to be killed.
1t is a wonderful club. 1t prepares
the poor mans body for typhoid and
pneumonia so completely that he is
sure to die and thus he is kept from
gambling on his chances. 1t is a
the card table where he can be robbed
without being knocked down. 1t
cashes a poor mans check on Sat
urday night, and this is not all, for
it relieves the poor mans thirst, and
If he has no thirst this great-hearted
club gives him one. 1t gives him free
lunch, and after that he will have
thirst enough for everybody in town.
All the advantages of this club are
not for the man. They go to the poor
mans family too. There is little
Johnnie who wanted to go through
school and become an engineer.
There is the little girl who wanted
to become music teacher. But the
club knocks all that nonsense out of
their heads. 1t sends Johnnie to the
coal breakers and poor little Mary out
into the world where men prey on
their kind, and she falls by the way
side. Oh, it is a great club-Ex-Con
