My firm belief, is " that medical acfence is certain yet to show that all dis- eases without exception are caused by Invisible germs which ara living organ- isms. Here Is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here lathe bacillns of typhoid feTcr; and here is the atUl more dreadful bacillns of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption, fhia of that very common and supposed lncurabla disease, catarrh."

"I wish. Doctor." sa.d the traveling man, "that yon would tall as about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.'*

The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially tbe mucous membrane. This foul and moat disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and ft la rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or lass with il. How often la he or ahe obliged to remain at home from pteasant cntertaicmenta. deprive themselves of many Intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca- tarrhal affections. In Its worst phase, the psttsait becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends.

" I believe." continued this great phyeiciaa, "that the true way to heal ca- tarrh is to medicate the blond. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act aa blood purifiers."

itei-y A. Marett, of Manlstce, ManisteeCo., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:For ten years I was s sufferer from general debility and chronic

catarrh. My face wa^ pate as death. I waa weak and abort of breath. Iconic! hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had s ringtug In my head all the time. My banda and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so 1 was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredneaa. My muscular power waa almost entirely gone, and I couldnt go half a doten steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused roe to have a pain in my aide. 11 seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc- tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get- ting well. I tried the best physiciana In tho state, but failed to get any relief. My : .i T..1 got me a bottle of Johnston's Safaaparilla. I took it, and 'hen 1 tiought another. Whoa these had been used, I was somewhat improved In health. I continued its use. and felt I waa growing stronger; my sleep wss re- freshing, and it seemed as if 1 could feel new blood moving through my veine. 1 kept on taking It, and now consider mvself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches 1 have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca- tarrh has ai most entirely left mc. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston'! Sarsapsrills has done for me. I recommend all women who have eick head- aches to use vour Ssrsapnrilla.

lii his remarks before the Slate Kepublicau Convention, Col. James Boyd said the negro simply asks the privilege of caating one vote for the candidate of his choice. If this is true, the Republicans have had very little respect for the wish of the negro, for evcrvliody knows that he has not eujoyed such priv ilege from the Republican bosses. Baiabo'l position has always been similar to a hitched up mulehe has always gone as the while lie publican boss pulled the line, and instead .if the negro having the in divioi'.l privilege of e\ercisiug a prefi-Hme at the ballot, he has ban old d to vote the preference of the l"iss, nnd thns the how has pr.niH-.ill) voted a bund red thou- and i imr e ballot*., while mBer win ncn bad only ore vote, and thi- inie of the great objections to iv ii siiffrage.

It is simply astonishing bow much aBBOyilUoe aud discomfort may be found i-^ the course of every day's living, il o e only keeps a sharp eye put on that side ol things.

Election at Kyten.

Ayden, X. C. May 8thThe election here yesterday pasaed off very quietly until about 4 o'clock wheu it was found that another ticket was being made up by the Fusionists. But the result proved of no good to them. The Demo- cratic ticket was elected by a good majority, aith I. A. Hnriuglou for Mayor. Hariugtou's majority was 1 over O. 0. Nobles, who who was run aud endorsed by the Fusiouist. C. L. Patrick and A. C. Nobles were also defeated by a good majority. Aydeu is again all right.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Ayden, N. C, May 8thYester-

day was one of the quietest election days Ayden has ever had. The regular Democratic ticket waselect- ed liy a majority of nineteen over the black aud tan and general mix- ture ticket. We have some awful smart Alecks in this town who thiuk they ought to run it, but their plan to rush their ticket just at the close of day sloped over and left them out in the cold. Sad to think of.

She attracted the attention of her sisters by hollowing, and they ran to her aid. They were unable to put the flames out so they car- ried her lo a ditch, which was about thirty feet distant, and by the use of mud and what little

Atlantic Coast Line "shootly" train from Norfolk, due here at 8 p. iu., ran into the rear of a freight train at Fremont tonight. The caboose of the freight train and the engine of the passenger train were badly- wrecked.

Here is the bacillus or typhoid feier; aud hero la the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, conaainption. fiua of that Tcrj Coninen and supposed Incurable disease, catarrh."

"IWlBBj Doctor," said the traveling man. "that you would tell as about catarrh. I hare had it for years, and I am thoroughly diK-ourajred.*

The Doctor an weed. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid feT-r. and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe inTadioir the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and moat dianstioK disease ia especially preralent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who ia not, or has not been troubled more or leas with it. How often la he or ahe obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca- tarrhal affections. !n its worst phase, the patlaml becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends.

" I believe." continued this great phyaicJaa, "that the true way to heal ca- tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by power.'ol alteratives which act aa blood purifiers."

Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Bfanistre Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:For ten years 1 was a sufferer from general debility and chronic

catarrh. My face was pale as death. I waa weak and abort of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always old. My appetite waa very poor. On getting* up in the morning-, my head swam so I waa often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in Uie small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a doten steps without stopping to rest, and often that much *crcise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc- tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given np all hope of ever get- ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla 1 took It. and then I Imught another. When these had been used, 1 was somewhat improved in health. I continued iu nse, and felt 1 was growing stronger; my sleep was re- freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. 1 work all the time, nnd am happy. I am positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have hail since childhood, havo disappeared, aud my ca- tarrh has almost entirely left me. 1 cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's Sarsaparilla has doue forme. I recommend all women who have sick head- aches to nse your Sarsaparilla

Thc Country Printers Report.

The Latrolx-, Pennsylvania, Advance accomplishes a very neat presentation of city competi- tion with conutry job printing of- fices. It calls attention to the fart that the city offices have been can- vassing Latrobe for job work, and uttering prices that the local offices cannot meet; and says that it is easy to say to the loeal printer that his prices are higher thau city of- fices demand. The Advance goes on to remark:

'The turnit lire man iu Ihc city- advertises goods away down, and we go to 1 he local dealer, and ask him about it.

"And he truly says: 'Inferior articles.'

'The city dentist says he will make teeth at half the price charg- ed here.

"The local dentist truly says: ^Inferior work and material.'

"The city tailor says he will make a suit for a whole lot less thau the local man.

"The loeal tailor truly says: 'Not well made.'

"The city grocer, dry goods man and others quote prices the local meu don't touch; but the local tru- ly remarks: 'Not the same goods.'

"The doctor advertises to cure yon for a small price, but the local physii ian simply aud truthfully says:

" 'Quack.' "With a daily paper before us

just uow, we see all these things advertised, so we know that print ing is not the ouly commodity of- fered away down. Oh, no; not by a lot.

The moral is: 'The local print- er is not the "ouly pebble on the beach" who doesn't compete with the cut-throat fakir.'

"Mr. Business Man, you don't compete successfully either; why do yon expect your neighbor in the printcry to do sot"

Relationship ot Subscriber nnd J Advertiser.

Thegeuiiinc bona liilesulcrilicr, the person who pays for his or her subscriptiou does not fully appre- ciate their full value to the paper as an asset of the paper.

This is iudistinction to the per- son who may read the paper, but docs not pay for it.

Newspaper borrowers, or those who have the habit of jusl pick- ing up someone else's paper, and reading it, as their tribe increases iua community, addsjust so much weight to Ihc newspaper publish- er's inability to get out a credita- ble paper, for aj the receipts de- crease or increase, so will the av- erage newspaper in a ciiiniuuiiity reflect iu its columus the condition of the publisher's cash drawer.

It is not a sign of special intelli- gence to be able lo criticise a news- paper for its lack of BSWS, quality of its paper, or its up todateuess.

But it does require a high grade of intelligence on the part of the newspaper publisher to gel up a fairly respectable, up-to-date paper iu a community where the borrow- crs of the paper exceed those who pay legularly for the paper.

Readers of newspapers, very many of them, will severely criti- cise the newspaper publisher for not giving them two columns of reading matter to each column of advertisements.

And yet this very critic never thinks, much less realizes, that this very advertising, which seem so space filling, is what gives the reader Hie paper, and whatever ex- cellence of matter it may contain. New Bern Journal.

Kxecutive Committee held in

Greenville on the 14th day of April, 1900, a convention for the nomination of Democratic candi- dates for the Legislature and the various county offices and for the appoint ment of delegates to the First Congressional District Demo- cratic convention, was .called to meet in the Court House, in Green- ville, at 12 o'clock M., on Saturday, May li'tb. 1900.

The said primaries will also elect an Execu- tive Committee for each precinct, composed of five members, and al- so nominate candidates for Justices of the Peace aud Constable. The number of delegates and alternates each township will be entitled to is as follows i

The following is the history of a railroad pass which, if true, is very good of its kind. When R. N- Rice, who was afterwards Pres- ident of the Michigau Central Railroad, was the general manager of the New York central, he re- ceived by mail an expired pass, across the back of which the bolder hod written in red ink: Bless my stars', no more on Ihe cars

As a deudbeat I'll ride ou i he rail.

Unless Mr. Rice should take my advice And send me a pass by the mail. Without a moments hesitation

Mr. Rice turned the pass over and traced iu red ink ou its face the following: The conductor will pass this Imu-

dle of gas Front July till the middle ol

paying a red, 1*1 him ride to his hearts con- tent. The pass was never taken up,

and is today kept iu the family the holder.

North Caroliua is moving to cure a great e\ilthe rule of the negro iu political ami governmental af- fairs. In Virginia the white folks arc in action uow aud in two or three mouths will adopt a consti- tution for tne state that will deal with negro suffrage in a repressive way. Louisiana lately held an election since the new con stitutiou was adopted. In the last election the uegroes registered some 126,000. This year they registered but 7,000. In the last election Ihe whites registered not far from 120,000. This year 117,000. The new suffrage qualification set aside the hitherto negro rule thai was such a curse aud ruin to the stale, as Senator McEuery so forcefully exhibited In the senate BOOM mouths ago. In North Carolina probably 80,000 negroes will con tinue to vote and under enlarged educational facilities will yearly increase. With au amendment the white nan's government will vote more money for the education ; of the negroes. Wifh the Amend j input defeated, there will IN very l.ille of the people's money expos-
