Beware
Os the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo.,
writes: “For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of mv neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. L.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over £150.”
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
teal blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
ANOTHER NEGRO DEVIL BECOMES A CAN
DIDATE FOR THE GALLOWS.
Mother Murders Her Child—The School Tax
Will Carry in Two Townships—Objection
to Educating the Negroes.
Koxboro, X. C.. Aug. 3.—(Special)—
Henry Ilill, a negro man. living in the
northern section of the county attempted
rape on a negro girl last Friday. Ho
was arrested and jailed ■Saturday.
The body of a negro baby partly de
composed was found in a ditch about
seven miles east of Ttoxboro yesterday.
The child is believed to have been mur
dered by its mother. The coroner is
investigating the matter to-day.
A large number of cases of typho-ma n
rial fever are existent in the western
part of the county. Only one death has
occurred.
The people of Person county are earn
estly considering the question of addi
tional taxation for the benefit of the
public school system. This measure will
probably be defeated in every township
in the county, except ltoxboro and Olive
Hill. The friends of the measur? in
these two townships have great hopes of
its success. The prevailing objection to
the tax among the white people seem to
be, “We’ll hav’ to eddy cate er little nig
ger, too.”
MR BOONE AGAIN.
He Thinks Additional School Tax Un
der Present Conditions Would Only
Help the Teachers.
i
To the Editor: It is no part of wis
dom to contend with an editor in the
columns of his own newspaper. The
advantage of position is altogether with
the editor. But with your permission
and in the best of spirit permit me to
add a few more thoughts to the discus
sion of the scdiool tax. \\ ith due res
pect to the editor. I still contend that
the question of good or bad execution of
the school law did not, at first, enter
into the controversy concerning the school
tax. It was, so to speak, an after
thought and was forced upon the avow
ed advocates of the school tax by the
outspoken indignation of an outraged
people. It is only within the past few
days that some of the school tax cham
pions have softened sufficiently to say
that under certain conditions the peo
ple ought to vote “against schools.”
And, it seems to me. that such a conces
sion is a begging of the question. Why
advocate the adoption of a law that
does confessedly work a hardship \ipon
many of the counties of the State that
are helpless to avoid the wrong? Why
pass a law that is bound to work dis
astrously to many of the best people
of the State? It hardly seems right to
force us to be the authors of our own
misdoing that other people may enjoy
the benefits that will accrue to them
from taxes in the general fund of the
State, that have been wrung from us.
There is great stress laid upon the ex
tension of the school period, but some
things have been lost sight of in that
sentiment too. The people, who are ex
pected to be most benefit ted by a longer
period of public schools, are not in a
condition to avail themselves of the
privileges offered under the old law.
This deponent knowetli whereof he
speaks. The people are in such strait
ened financial conditions that they
are unable to employ labor and are com
pelled to keep their children at home to
make the necessaries of life. During the
agitation of this question time and
again this writer has been told by both
white and black that they were not in
a condition to dispense with the labor
of their children even as much as four
months. So a longer school period, if
it means an advantage to any class of
men, must only mean the betterment
of incompetent teachers to doze in the
shade of ill ventilated school rooms and
blink at a baker’s dozen of lazy boys
and girls. Mark this. If you extend
the school period and hope to reach
the masses you must get the State to
vote money for books, food and raiment
and pass a compulsory school law. The
present school law, on providing for the
centralization of schools, must, of neces
sity take the schools, in sparcely set
tled districts, away from a large num
ber of children and thus decrease the
number in attendance. Our brethren of
the towns and cities seem to have for
gotten the condition that everywhere
exist in the country and hold to the
Utopian scheme of a graded school in
every magisterial district of the State.
Come out from the shadows cast by Iwick
and granite walls—eat with the common
people their corn pone and middling
meat and learn some practical common
sense ideas on the school question. “It
is a condition and not a theroy that con
fronts us.” There is much reason to
suspect, that two very antagonistic ele
ments have joined hands to fight for the
local school tax with different ends in
view. The advocates of State aid, and
they are found everywhere, hope to dis
tract the attention of the people from
the battle royal that has been, much
against their will, forced upon them and
thereby postpone if not entirely relieve
themselves from the opposition that
will not down at their bidding. The anti
state aiders, and thedr number is increas
ing daily expect so to burden the peo
ple with increased taxation for public
schools —that the people -will openly re
volt against an increase of their burden
and demand a cessation of the horse leech
crys of “give”—“give.” A truce has
been on for some time, but already mut
terings of the coming storm have been
heard—a day of reckoning between these
two discordant elements will come and
then look out to see the fur fly. Both
parties, having done their best against
our interests, we shall not care how the
fight ends and may well content our
selves with the thought that “when
rogues fall out honest men. get their
dues.”

all medical treatment that money could
procure, tried all cough remedies he
could hear of, but got no relief; spent
many nights sitting up in a chair; was
induced to Iry Dr. King’s New Discov
ery, and was cured by use of two bottles.
For past three years has been attending

made, as it has done so much for him

A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND lIIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overflows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. It is upon this princi
ple that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
desires to send free to mankind a pre
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing to try tne experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor, without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many year’s research as to what combi
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re
quest to H. C. Olds, Box 1622, Kala
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.
Olds that he may know how you came to
write him.
