The cause which produces sick
headache is more promptly removed
by Ayer's Pills than by any otberj
medicine. They easily and speed
ily correct all disorders of the stom
ach, liver, and bowels, and restore
to these organs regular and healthy
action.
The only way to cure fever and
ague is either to neutralize the
poisons which cause the disease or
to expel them from the Bystem.
Ayer's Ague Cure operates in both
ways. It is a warranted specific for
all forms of malarial disorders, and
never fails to cure. Try it.
Self-denial is the one thing most
difficult to inculcate and always
bard to practice, especially when
there are good things to eat within
reach. But there is no self denial
necessary if you take Simmons
Liver Regulator. It promotes di
gestion, prevents dyspepsia and a
dose after a hearty meal of delica
cies will prevent any discomfort.
It's tbe best good-night toddy.

faultlessly correct, much time was
necessarily consumed, but the con

expect the unanimous enthusiasm of
the Democrats of Cabarrus.
lion. lbeo. b Klut'z, in bis us
ual splendid address enthused the
audience with a speech much too
short for the audience, be only being
afraid of wearying his attentive
hearers. He is the right man at
the right place as elector for this,
the 7th district, He is a Democrat
to the bone and a strong believer in
tbe theory of tree silver. He be
lieves unreservedly that Bryan and
Sewall will be elected, and believes
all Democrats will be willing to ac
quiesce in tbe results of the experi
ment and acknowledge their eriDr
if results are against their present
convictions.
He urged fidelity and the imme
diate co-operation of all for the elec
tion of our whole ticket. He does
not think the grand old Democracy
dependent upon any one campaign
but that it was of great importance
that tbe wbole ticket be carried.
He stated emphatically that tbe
tariTand tbe centralization issues
were too great to admit of one's
voting for McKinley though be
does not subscribe to tbe theory ol
free coinage. He thought no ot e
could read the tirade in the Repub
lican national platform againet
Damccr.icy and tbe Cleveland ad
ministration, considerately, without
heing too much averse to the party
to vote for or encourage tbe election
of McKinley.
He said the country needed rest
from tariff tinkering and that the
Wilson tariff should be let alone
and that the unfortunate bond af
fair would not bave been necessary
if the Supreme Court had not de
cided against the income tax.
His hope was that a new phase
of the Supreme Court would yet
sustain the income tax when reve
nues would be sufficient.

Mr. C G Montgomery is to leave
Concord, which will necessarily take
from among us a most excellent
family. He;bas just returned from
Alabama City, Ala., where he han
accepted a prominent position with
a large cotton manufacturing corpo
ration with whom he has been
doing business for a number ol
years, and is to receive quite a hand
some salary. He has also secured
employment for his four boys
Messrs. Brevard, Charlie, Harry and
Frank, with whom he will leave
Monday for tbe home they are
about to adopt. This sudden turn
of affairs came as suddenly and un
expectedly upon Mr. Montgomery
as it does upon our citizens. The
position came to him unsolicited.
Mrs. Montgomery will remain in
this city until preparations can be
made for removing, when she will
go to the father and eons.
