John H "Small, Con gressman from the* First District and nominee for re election, spoke before a goodly number of the citi zens of Williamston on Monday night in the City Hall. He was introduced by Mr. Clayton Moore, who pai.i a fitting tribute to the worth of the Representative from the First District during the four . teen years of service. Mr. Small's, speech was a strong plea for the fundamental pririliples , of good government and the rule of the people, all of which is up held by the Democratic party and , that alone. He advocated a legal ized primary, a system of drainage and other improvements for the State which would make for the good and happiness of its people. He gave a concise history of tariff i measures which have been enacted trom time to time, the formation of trusts and monopolies, and declar ed that protection is a menace to tbe country; that the Republican party has thrown a wall of protec tion about the money trust and it in turn is contributing enormous sums to perpetuate that party and to oppress the masses - Every word uttered by Mr. Small was a clarion call for pure, sound Democracy under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, whose election he predtct ed, having recently been in New England and taken note of the enthusiasm for Democratic success. He emphasized in no uncertain words that it is the duty of every man to stand on the party platform. Mr. Small is the most active man in the North Carolina delegation, and his nomination by acclamation at Elizalwth City was a proof of the appreciation be is receiving from the Democrats of tbe First District. Martin Couuty is always glad to cast its vote fur him The Pants Factory The Hamilton Pants Mfg. Co , which moved its plant here and began operations on September i6tb., though not working the maxium number of employees yet, is making splendid success as re ported Wy the Secretary and Treas urer, Mr. C. H. Baker, who also sells the stock on the road. The plant is putting out a line of spring and summer pants now and the sales have been unusually good. Iu one especial line, they are unable to supply the demand. It was at first thought that no goods would be shipped before January the first but with the present output, it will be possible to fill a large number of orders before that date. The management is pleased with present conditions and tbe future prospects of the plaut. A visit to the factory will convince one that everything is arranged on a business-like princi ple. The cutter is one of the most experienced in the entire South. A line of rubber coats has recently been put in to serve the trade. Neat wooden packing boxes ready to be put up for shipment are stored in large quantities, and a careful shipping clerk insures promptness, and satisfaction. A large stock of cloth for a fine line of pants has been received and soon the factory wiil be filling orders for this grade of goods. Mrs. T. A. Town, 107 6th St., Watertown, S. D., writes: "My four children are subject to hard colds and I always use Foley's Honey and Tar Compound with splendid results. Some time ago I had a severe attack of la grippe and tbe doctor prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and it soon overcame the la grippe. I can always depend upon Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and am sure of good results.'' Saunders and Fow den. * , * WILL AMSTON, N. C.. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1912 THE MAGNET —- Trained Animals The management of the Sparks Shows have made it a study for years to gtve a circus program re plete in all particulars, and know ing full well the importance of some high-class animal acts on the program, have this year imported from Germany several acts that can not fail to creat a sensation. The Germans have made animal training a fine art, and some of the most notable animal acts in this country are but copies of tbe won derful acts as they are produced across the wate*. The acts imported from Ger many this season include a spec tacular equine drill and pyramid performance by a group of Ara bian stallions that is said to be tbe most beautiful piece of horse train ing ever attempted. The herd of performing elephants under tbe direction of their Germau trainer. Paul Jacoby, will produce group ings, pyramids and maneuvers here tofore thought impossible. A group of lorest bred African lions will also bold an importaut place on this interesting program on account of the wonderful control their train er, Mr. Fritz Brunner, has over the e really ferocious man killing beasts. The extensive menagerie carried by the show also affords unusual interest to those who are fond of studying animal life. In it are presented many new specimens hitherto unkuown to tbe zoos of America. Besides the trained animals some of the world's greatest gjmnasts, aerialists, acrobats and equestrians have a place on the bill, and after the grand opening spectacle, which is brilliant in its coloring and mas sive in effect, the program will go forward with so much vim and vigor, the acts will be of such a high order and classified to such a nicety, that the most crical audi ence can not help but be plfeased. The Sparks Shows will give two complete exhibitions in this city on Wednesday Oct. 30. Protection Hurts Farmers The farmer must pay for tbe goods he buys, and he gets no more for what he sells. For ourselves, we cannot escape the conclusion, therefore, that the policy of a pro teetive tariff is diametrically oppos ed to the interest of farmers as a class; and even those farmers who believe in the protection of infant industries should work in their own parties against the extention of the doctrine which makes tbe tariff a shelter for the trusts. —The Pro gressive Farmer. Geo. T. Craddock, Rubie, Ark., says: "I was bothered with lumbago for seven years so bad 1 could not work. I tried .several kinds of kidney medicine which gave me little or no relief. Two bottles of Foley Kidney Pills cured me and now I can do any kind of work. I cheerfully recommend them to my friends." Saunders & Fowden.

Good Tobacco On Friday, October iSth., the Dixie Warehouse sold on its door, r,072 pounds of tobacco, being one barn, at a net price of $377.13. making an average of 35.18 cents per pound. It was part of a tour acre crop raised by W. C. Whitley of Criffins Township, Maftin County. Tbe four acres brought $262.50 tach. This is one of the good sales which has been on the market here this seascn. Martin County tobacco is hard to beat any where. One lot of this tobacco brought 50 cents perpouna Watch Griffins for fine corn, cotton, pota toes, tobacco, bogs and cattle. J. G. Criswell, a painter living at 540 North Mulberry St., Hagers town, Md., states: "I had kidney trouble with a severe pain across my back, and could hardly get up after sitting down. I took Foley Kidney Pills and soon found the pain left my back, I could get up and down with ease, and tbe blad der action was more regular and normal. Try them. Saunderp & Fowden. • - « in spite of the extremely hot weather Wayne G. Christy and his Metropolitan Lady Minstels play to two packed houses at tbe Grand last evening. It was one of the best and cleanest little shows that has ever been seen at this popular play house,—Raleigh Times. County Campaign 'Opens According to appointment, the county candidates met at Oak City, Friday October rStb. for the pur pose of opening the county cam paign. About tbe noon hour, Hon. Hairy W. Stubbs addressed the audience—estimated to be abcW five hundred, stating that bis speech ar.d those of the candi dates to folic w him would be brief inasmuch as Hon. Claude Kitcbin wes expected to deliver a lengthy address at tbe close of the announ cements of the several candidates. Mr. Stubbs urged tbe voters of Martin County to support the entire Democrrtic ticket including himself and Capt. Studdert—nominees for the Senate from tbe Second District. After Mr. Stubbs tbe other candi dates spoke briefly in the following order: J C. D. Car starphen, S. S. Brown and A. R. Dunning. At 12:30 o'clock, Hon. W. G. Lamb, in a few well-chosen words, introduced the speaker of the day, Hon. Claude Kitcbin, who, after a few pleasantries and general re marks, stated that it was not his purpose to make u regular political speech but rather to discuss the National Senatorial question as it affected North Carolina. For more than two hours, this gifted speaker in his strong and forceful manner, exposed the record of Senator Sim mons, showing that be had fre quently alligned himself with the stand-pat Republican and thus disregarding Democratic principle and platform. He stated that he bad the Congressional Record and more than a hundred clippings from both Democratic and Republi can papers published in tbe various states of the Union, substantiating every charge that he made. He often threw out tha challenge that if any of the friends of Simmons would furnish proof that he had in any way misrepresented the Sena tor's record, that he would have hisbrother.Gov Kitchin, withdraw from tbe race within a few minutes after receiving such proof. Among the numerous quotations which be read was one from Bry an's paper, "Tbe Commner." ol Oct. nth. Ij 12: "Senator Simmons asks the people of North Carolina for re-election. He ought to be defeated. North Carolina is iu reality a progressive state. It is intitled to be represented in the U. S. Senate by a man whose heart is known to be in sympathy with the people. Mr. Simmons is not such a man He would do very well as a representative of the stand-pat Republican party. He will not do as a representative of tbe Demo cratic party if that partv is to be true to its principle:." I At tbe conclusion of Mr. HCitch in's speech, a barbecue was served by Messrs. Arriugton Kitchin and Benjamin Cloman, and this was a pleasant ending to a great Detno ciatic day at Oak City. Mrs. Peter Holan, 11501 Buck eye Rd, Cleveland, 0., says: "Yes indeed I can recommend Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. My little boy bad a bad case of whoop ing cough, some time he was blue in the face. I gave him Foley's Honey and Tar Compound, and it had a remarkable eflect and cured him in a short time." Contains no harmful drugs. Saunders & Fow den. Christy's Minstrels at the Arcade Theatre this week is one of the best ever seen in this city.—Lurham Sun. Tom Settle's appearance here Saturday was a huge as he had nothing to say worth while. He is trying hard to make it nppear that Woodrow Wilson 1» running on the same old liquor barrel thathe is carrying around. That is a lame job he has undertaken, for every reasonable man kuows that North Carolina is governing herself and decided to do so by a big majority. Local self government to a whiskey soak has but one meaning—debau- chery and the open door for liquor. si.oo a Year in Advance A Critical Juncture In a recent speech against the election of Jas. Smith, Jr-, to the United States Senate, Woodfow Wilson declared him to be a reac tionary Democrat and said: "We are at a ciitical juncture in the history of America tnd at a very critical juncture in the history of the Democratic party. There is only one condition upon which the Democratic party can gain the con fidence of the nation and that con fidtnce is that it should have itself through and through absolutely committed to progressive policy. Just so certainly as it makes any other choice, it will be rejected now anH need have co h.>pe whatever of being chosen for our generation." When this statement by the presi dential candidate is considered in connection with recent declaration by W. J. Bryan that Senator Sim mons is not a progressive, it be comes strikingly applicable to the Senatorial situation in North Caro lina. Mr. Bryan doubtless formed his opinion of Senator Simmons from his record in congress, with which he is thoroughly familiar. Mr. Bryan's opinion of him is con firmed by what is now going on in this State. The reactionary forces are now supporting him ardently, and they usually know their man. Republicans are supporting him in great numbers and the special in terests are aiding him all they can. Senator Simmot>s is not a progres sive and his friends ouly make themselves ridiculous when they claim he is. This being so, it is not probable that a State as pro gressively Democratic as North Carolina is will return him to the Seuate at Ibis critical juncture. The reactionaries which Senator Simmons foug'it in iyo2 under the names of' 'Commercial Democrats" and "Independent Democrats" are now rejoicing under bis banner. Why? He has embraced their views and btcc m» their lead er; that's all —The Clayton News. A SAFE SUBSTITUTE FOR CALOMEL A Mfld Vegetable Medicine for the Liver that is Free from the Danger of the Powerful Chemical, Calomel The Sauuders & Fowden drug store has a mild, vegetable remedy that successfully takes the place of the powerful mineral drug calomel, the old-fashioned liver medicine. This remedy is Dodsou's Liver- Tone, a very pleasant tasted liquid that gives quick but geutle from constipation without the bad after effects which so often follow taking calomel. Dodson's Lives-Tone is fully guaranteed to be a perfect substi tute for calomel, and if you buy a bottle and it does not entirely sat isfy you, Saunders & Fowden drug store will promptly give you your money back upon request. It is fine for both children and grown people. Mr. Jas. V. Churchill, 90 Wall St., Auburn, N. Y , has been bothered with serious kidney and bladder trouble ever since he left the army, and says: "I decided to try Foley Kidney Pills as they had cured so many peopltr and I soon found they were just the thing. My kidneys and bladder are again in a healthy condition. I gladly recommend them. Sauuders & Fowden.
