CATARRH CANNOT BE
CURED
with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con
stitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescrib
ed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years and is a
regular prescription. It is com
posed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredi
ents is what produces such wond
erful results in curing Catarrh

COTTON MILL ASSURED.
Deeds To Land Have Been Signed--
Arthur Hairston Dies From
Effects Of Pistol Shot.
Walnut Cove, Sept. 4. —That a
cotton mill will be built here soon
is now an assured fact. Deeds to
the land, which comprisea some
thing like seventy acres, have been
signed. Our people are very en
thusiastic over the bright pros
pect.
Arthur Hairston, the negro who
was shot on a train between Mar
tinsville and this place some days
since, died Monday, from the
effects of the wound. On Tuesday
a post mortem examination was
held, the Coroner's jury deciding
that Hairston came to his death
from a pistol shot, fired by an un
known party. The post mortem
examination showed that the ball
passed through Hairston's brain.
The diamond drill for use in
the coal mine here has arrived,
and the miners expect to begin

mines has been very satisfactory.

SAFE SURE AND SPEEDY.
No external remedy ever yet
devised has so fully and unques
tionably met these three prime
conditions as successfully
Alloock's Plasters. They are safe
because they contain no deleteri
ous drugs and are manufactured
upon scientific principals of medi
cine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except
ingredients which are exactly
adapted to the purposes for which
a plaster is required. They are
speedy in their actiou because
their medicinal qualities go right
to their work of relieving pain
and restoring the natural ar>J
healthy performance of the
functions of muscles, nerves and
skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the
original and genuine porous
piasters and like most meritori
ous articles have been extensively
imitated, therefore always make
sure and get the genuiue Allcock's.
Stokes Boy Writes From Mississippi.
Hally, Miss., Aug. 19.—1t has
been quite a while since I made
an attempt to write to the Repor
ter, but I like to read the paper
and like to bear the news, so
I will do the best I can and hope
that each and every subscriber
will do the same, which will make
our home paper a success.
Crops in this valley are not very
good this year on accouut of the
wet weather in the spring, which
prevented the farmers from plant
ing cotttoii. They planted their
land in corn, and the drouth at
present is injuring the corn. The
best calculations are there will be
about one-third of a crop of cot
ton made and about one-half of a
corn crop made. While the farm
ers are not doing but little, the
timber men are reaping a harvest.
They have not done but little for
the last three or four years on ac
count of the wet weather and
mud. There are about forty farm
teams here tonight to haul stuff to
the railroad tomorrow.
lam employed at a stave and
heading mill about 8 miles from
the railroad. I have a contract of
cutting timber by the oord, but
am unable to do very much on ac
count of the extreme hot weather,
The thermometer registers from
98 to 104 in the shade most every
day, while I am standing the heat
and sickness better than the aver
age person. I was telling a friend
of mine the other day that I had
been in the Mississippi valley
nearly two years and escaped hav
ing a chill yet, and for a joke, he
said: "The devil couldn't kill
a Tar Heel." It is a very sel
dom thing that any one comes
in the valley and stayes six
months without having chills and
fever.
There is one thing that troubles
mu a whole lot and that is mos
quitoes. They are bad in the
morning and evening. It would
be impossible for me to sleep at
night was it not for the mosquito
bar. I feel that I owe the inventor
something, but I am satisfied he
is able to live without my help.
I think I will do as a good many
are doing—hunt and fish. I have
seen catfish since I have been here
that weighed 125 pounds, and lots
of other kinds of smaller fish. The
country is full of lakes, and that is
where the fish are fouud so plen
tiful. And ofteu I can henr
the bark of the wolf and howl of
the panther, while I see a number
of bear and deer tracks. I killed
a deer not long ago. 1 intend to
send the hide to Stokes county.
Labor in this country is depend
ent entirely upon the negro, which
is a very poor excuse when it
comes down to hard work. He
will do very well at light work
till pay day and then he is gone
until he gets broke and then he is
ready to go to work again. The
negroes are the only people that
can stand this climate. Most of
the negroes are very mean, and
often I hear of one killinganothor
and sometimes one kills a white
man, and then he lasts not more
than half a day if he can be found
he is generally lynched by a mob
Some times one gets away
but generally the State puts out a
big reward and he is slipped back
and put in jail to await trial, and
then it don't require a very strong
evidence to convict, and to the
gallows he goes. I went to the
county seat ot the county in which
I live, to see a negro hang for
killing a white man. When they
went to the jail to bring him out,
the negro had secured a razor and
cut his own throat while the Sher
iff was gettiug his handcuffs ready
and died immediately. But as a
general thing when a negro inter
feres with a white man he shoots
him down and the white man har
dly ever has to stand a trial. Ed
ucation is something that the col
ored race know nothing about. If
he was educated, he would still be
harder to control. He has no right
to vote whatever. The white cit
izens have no more sympathy for
the colored race than a good many
people do for a snake.
The soil is very fertile here.
The land will produce from J to
1J bales of cotton to the acre, and
a liale is supposed to weigh 500
pounds, and produce from 40 to
80 bushels of corn to the acre.
Wishing the Reporter and its
readers success.
