THE ISSUE LV TUB STATE.
The three-cornered Gubernatorial
fight in North Carolina is waxing
very interesting as it progresses and
speculation is rife as to what the
result will be. There are plenty of
people who are equally "confident of
the election of Watson, of Guthrie
and of Russell respectively. For
-our part we won Id rather witness
the election of Hon. Cyrus B Wat
son as Governor of North Carolina
than that of any other candidate
before the people, whether on the
State of National ticket. We have,
however, apprehended that the Re
publicans, especially the colored
voters, will not stand : by Russell,
but will at the final bidding of their
. leaders, when Russell's election is
found to be an impossibility, si go to
Guthrie in order to defeat the Demo-,
catic candidate. We trust j ! bow
ever, that this will not be the case.
and we also hope that the bare posaS
bility of it will weld the Democrats
of the State closer together on Mr.
Watson, and that they will let none
of their differences on the national
issues divide them on the State
ticket, v If there is one thing that
we place above another it is the im
portance that the fcffiirs of this State
shall be conserved by such men as
have for years past made Democratic
government a credit and an honor to
this commonwealth. It is higher
than free coinage and all other
panaceas, and we hope there will be
no halting or faltering among the
Democracy ! which has Heretofore
kept North Carolina in safe hands.
Raleigh Press-Visitor. ,
We clip the above with pleasure
and can say amen I to our contempo
rary's views as to the importance of
our gubernatorial and legislative
tickets. And while we greatly de
aire Democratic triumph, we are
hopef nl of the result of the Novem
ber election. The fusion of the
Populists and Republicans is very
uncertain and if effected the result
will be equally uncertain, f The
combination stuck like a leach to
a fellows shin two years ago. Small
pieces of pie were thought better
than none ; but the greed grows and
there are elements of discord this
year that do not promise auch un
animity; in fact dishonorable, jeal
oo8, spiteful, scheming combina
tions against a cause that commends
itself to all the better classes of good
citizens are apt to drop soon! We
know of no Democrats that are
going to the Populists or Republic
can 8 this year, while it is a certain
ty that somei at least, if not. quite a
good number are going to return to
Democracy. Then too, there was
a stay at home class two years ago
much larger; than there, will prob
ably be this year. With the fusion
record two years ago ana the great
national issues to excite a full vote
we should win against any combi.

Mica Fields of North Carolina.
The wild and apparently worth
less mountain region around Bakers
ville, N. C, is the main source of
mica for the United States, i Mica
mining is one of the greatest indus
tries in North Carolina, and has
yielded fortunes to those engaged in
it. Mica is found in all sorts of
blocks, of various thicknesses and
shapes, and can be split up and re
split until it becomes the thin, trans
parent flexible wafer of commerce
This material is b y nature embedded
in or scattered through the felspar
in masses large or small, close, to
ge'ther or far apart, and is blasted
from the rocks by means of dyna
mite, the purer veins being found
between the I walls of slate. The
average size is about 4 by 6 inches,
although rare sheets of 2 by 8 inches
are sometimes found. The electrical
industries are large consumers of
mima, it being invariably used as an
insulating material on all the j high
voltage armitures and for various
other purposes. Mining Gazette.
sixteen to One.
A well known business man lo
catedin the Columbia 'building in
Kansas Ciiy, Kans., has coined a
new explanation of the meaning of
16 tol. The corner in front of that
building is the favorite spot for
would-be saviors of the country to
congregate and argue the financial
question, much to the disgust of the
tenants in the building. A few
day 8 ago thi3 geutleaian while push
ing his way through the crowd of
agitators, was stopped by one and
asked if he knew what 16 to 1 meant.
"Yes," replied he. "It means 16
d n fools standing on the corner
talking politics to one man trying to
earn an honest living."
The crowd caught on ana in an
instant it moved to another corner.
Do You Use It?
It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought cslvl add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is d one by
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re ...
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp , nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the rpots must be
there. If you wish your hair .
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

The Cheapest, Purest and Best Family
Medicine in the World!
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaundice,
Bilious attacks, SICK HEADACHE, Colic, Depres
sion of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH, Heartburn, etc.
This unrivaled remedy is warranted not to contain
a single particle of Mercury, or any mineral substance,

all-wise Providence has placed in countries where
Liver Diseases most prevail. : It will cure all
Diseases caused by Derangement of the
liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter
or bad taste in the mouth ; Pain- in the Back, Sides or
Joints, often mistaken for - Rheumatism ; Sour
Stomach; Loss of Appetite; Bowels alternately
costive and lax; Headache; Loss of Memory, with a'
painful sensation of having failed to do something
which aught to have been done; Debility; Dow
Spirits ; a thick, yellow appearance of the Skin and
Eyes ; a dry Cough, often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many cf these symptoms attend the
disease, at others very few ; but the Liver, the largest
organ in the body, is generally the seat of the disease,
and if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretch
edness and DEATH will ensue.
Thz following highly-esteemed persons attest to the
virtues of SiMKbis Liver Regulator : Gen. W. S.
Holt, Pres. )Ga. S. W. R. R. Co. ; Rev. J. R. Felder,

that ior Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Throbbing Head

not handle cheap shoddy stuff
like: the Racket, handled.
Theirs was triple plated be

we gave him 15 cents to buy
the bucket, wishing to yin
dicate ourselves. He brought
us the bucket. It was the
