BROUGHT JOY TO
AN AGED WOMAN
Long Years of Pain Made
Her Life Miserable.
A Venerable Grandmother
is Restored to a Healthy
Life and Activity
and Rejoices.

An aged lady of Durham, a
grandmother past seventy-three,
wants the public, and her friends
in particular, to know how she
recovered her health. This ven
cradle woman, Mrs. Julia Sewell,
living at Clio ROCKFORD St., says:
Il suffered for a long time with
the worst form of Indigestion
which caused pains all through
my body, which often kept me
awake at night and caused me
to walk the floor. Sleep was
impossible and l was so nervous
that | could not stand the slight
est noise. | lost what little
strength had; everything that l
ate hurt me and | lost hope of
ever being we'll again. | heard
of the great work of Peplac and
l bought a bottle, and nowI am
cured, at last, through this won
derful remedy. Nervousness has
left me, my appetite has returned
and l can eat anything that l
want without indigestion. My
sleep is good; wake up refresh
ed and strong, and it is a pleas
ure to me to.dress my daughters
children and get them off to
school. hope that any one who
suffers the pain that | did will
give Peplac a trial.
Peplac has proved especially
beneficial to aged people. Its
tonic properties appear to be
exactly what is needed to slim
ulate the organs of aged and
infrm persons.
The merits of this great con-
structive tonic will be gladly ex-
planned at L. G. Fox and S. Biggs
drug stores where it is recon-
mended and sold.

Republican Resolutions.
(contributed)

Resolutions adopted by the Re
publican Convention of Rich
mond county on the 3Oth day of
March, 1913, at Rockingham, N.
c., which are hereby prayerfully
submitted to the consideration of
the public.
Whereas, our nation is now
engaged in a world wide conflict,
colossal in form, stupendous in
undertaking, the likeness where
of having never been known dur
ing the history of the world:
And Whereas, it is the duty of
each American citizen to use his
utmost endeavors to preserve our
National Honor, to protect the
civil and political rights of our
people, to establish once for all
the rights of nations and the
brotherhood humankind through
out the world:
And Whereas, the Republican
party has and always will stand
for National honor, personal lib
erty with equal rights to all men,
patriotic in honor, jealous in
mind and sacrificial in body,
vouching the generations yet I'M
born the heritage decided from
our holy fathers, equal right to
all with special privileges to none:
And Whereas, this is not a time
for political strife among the
great parties of our country, but
a time when all true Americans
should hear the call ofour nation,
when the will Of the people should
be enforced and their expressed
desire should be the law of the
land, political strife and turmoil
should be buried and our people
as one true man filled with a sup
RENE love for our country, should
stand as vanguards of liberty,
declaring to the world during
our hour of trouble the true spir-
it of Jeffersonian Democracy:
Therefore be it resolved
That we voluntarily pledge
ourselves to protect our national
honor at home or abroad and
with our lives preserve the great
principles of Jeffersonian Demo
cracy to our children and grand
children as a priceless heritage
through the mercies and goodness
OF God; reconsecrating ourselves
to the brotherhood of mankind.

That during this hour of nat.
ional peril, our local affairs
should be run economically and
our county expenses cut down
to a minimum in harmony with
the expressed will of our people
as voiced at the ballot box under
the Freeman Act and all of oul
officers should receive such salar
les as is provided in said Act anc
nothing more.
That our chain gang system
should be discontinued, the stock
and other property being used BY
it should pc sold by the count,
and the different public roads Of
the county should be let out un
der contract, requiring a good in
demnity bond from the contract
or payable to the county to keeI
said roads in good repair and
that the Chairman of the Boarc
of Commissioners should devote
his time to the roads and other
county purposes; that the con
victs should be hired out to the
most advantage to the county
and to the best interest of the
convict; that all supplies purchas
ed for county purposes, should
be done publicly to the lowest
bidder,
