A Fre8 Gift of Great Value to You.
Onr readers will be glad to kiiorr that
the new botanical discovery, Alkavis,
from the wonderful Kava-Kava shrub
has proved an assured cure for all dis-
m , - eases caused by Uric
by disordered action
of the Kidneys or

or as botanists rail

. river, East India,
TheKava-Kava Shrub and .probably was
(Piper Methysticum.) usod for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known o civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
xaade known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries ia South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
It is a wonderful discovery, with a rec
ord of 1200 hospital cures in 30 days. It
acta directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is a true specific, just as qui
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the
gospel, well known doctors andbusiness
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York Week!)) World of Sept. 10th,
the testimosiy of Rev. W. B. Moore, I. V., of
Washington, D. C. was given, describing his
years of suffering- from Kidney disease and
Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis.
K.ev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Cobden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use of Alkavis.
Iter. John H.Watson, of Sunset.Texas.a minister
of the gospel of thirty years' service, was struck
down at his pot of duty by Kidney disease.
After hovering between life and death for two
months, and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely restored to
health and strength, and is fu lulling his duties s
minister of the gospel. Mr. R. C. Wood, a prom
inent attorney of Lowell. Indiana, was cured of
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease of ten
years standing-, by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often com
pelled to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by nil his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in a
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. Tames
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
six doctors ia vain, that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood. .
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 424 --Fourth. Avenue, New

new remedy, and they are so anxious to

A Boston special, 5th, to Washing
ton Post says: ""Isaac B. Allen, Negro
member of the Governor's com cil, ar
rived home today from a week's sojourn
in Washington, in time to attend the
reception given the Legislature and
State officers by Goyernor and Mrs.
Wolcott, at their Commonwealth av
enue residence. The reception was also
attended by a colored member of the
Legislature, Representative Reed, of
Boston and his wife. There was abso
lutely no distinction visible in the
treatment of these members of another
race from that accorded other guests.
Governor Wolcott and his wife both
shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Eeed,
and Counselor Allen took the initiative
in greeting them, and ' the white but
ler's waited upon them the same as the
others. It was an informal afternoon
function tea, being served by ladies
well-known in the Boston society cir
cle, including Mrs. Henry Parkman,
Mrs. James Lawrance, Mrs. Curtis
Guild, Jr., and Mrs. Sohier. Adjutant
General Dalton, General Francis Ap
pleton, and Colonels Jewette and
Htevens, of the Governor's staff,
in full dress uniform, added color to
the scene. About 250 people were
present. "
(Jen. Maximo Gomez, of Cuba, savs:
"There is absolutely no distinction

branches of our government. I have
Negro generals, colonels, commandants

ranks and titles, "and are among my

The proportion of white and colored
men in the army is about the' same, and
they mingle together as brother and

Cuba has no love for tb.8 Spaniards,
and our Negro brethren are aware of
the fact that but.f or the ten years' war
they, in all probability would be slaves
today. As I have already said, there is
no distinction made in the civil branch
of the government. President Cisneros
has appointed more than 200 colored
men as prefectos and snb-prefectos out
of about, I believe, 030. They are
the best tax collectors in Santiago
province." Gen. Gomez then related
what he termed "an amusing feature. "
A colored prefecto near Guantanamo
had collected taxes amounting to over
$0,000 from his former master and own
er, a wealthy Spaniard of the name of
Rodriguez. The telling of this story
pleased Gomez, and he laughed as he
ended it by saying, "and Rodriguez did
not dare refuse to pay, either. " The

The race must be lifted above the
lynching plane. We believe that it is
yearly growing better iu this respect.
But these lynchings must not continue
unnoticed. Many claim that to agitate
against the mob system only serves to
stimulate it, which of course is a very
loor doctrine. If advocating the prop

up strife, the quicker it is all stirred up
the better, for then ensues n chance for

EARLY HISTORY OF AMERICA-
No Encampment This Su j : ' er Alder
man's Address The State Honor

Associate Justice Walter Clark, says
the Wilmington Messenger, has made
the interesting diiscovery that nearly
sixty years before the expedition of
Sir Walter Raleigh landed at Roanoke
Island, and eighty-one years before
John Smith landed at Jamestown,- the
Spaniards made a settlement on the
identical spot afterwards occupied by
the English as Jamestown. This Span
ish colony consisted of 600 persons,
men, women and children, with priests
and physicians, hordes and cattle.
D'Allon, the leader, died of malaria,
civil war broke out and after a year the
colony, named San Miguel, was
abandoned. Its very existence was
unknown even to Bancroft, but
recent researches in the royal li
brary in Spain unearths the records of
this earliest and unfortunate colony,
which antedated St. Augustine forty
years.
Of Dr. E. A. Alderman's address at
Charleston, S. C," "before the State
Medioal Society, The Columbia State
has this: "The feature of the exercises
was the baccalaureate address by Pro
fessor Alderman. 13is address was
generally pronounced to be one of the
best ever heard in Charleston, and this
is saying a good deal. He paid a beau
tiful tribute to the physicians, and then
launched into the subject matter of his
address, which dealt witli society. He
analyzed and reviewed society as it
existed before the war, during and
since the memorable conflict. Prof.
Alderman showed himself to be a typi
cal Southerner in principle and senti
ment, and hie remarks met with the ap
probation of hi3 hearers. Prof. Alder
man's address was classical, eloquent,
and most entertaining, rendered doubly
bo by the grace and ease with which
it was delivered. Ee held the united
attention of the audience throughout,
and there were not a few who regretted
the fact that his address was not
longer."

Maj. Hayes says that no encampment
will be held by the State troops this
summer. If the encamp;nent is held it
will be by the individual companies on
their own responsibility. An effort is
being made to get all the companies to
attend the Tennesdee Cen tennial Expo
sition at Nashville. Junei 21 is the date
selected for the troops to go to Nash
ville, as the Confederate . Veterans re
union will be held then. Among the
co mpanies which will attend from near
Raleigh are the Governor's and Frank
linton company. By the way, the com
pany from Franklinton is considered
one'of the finest, if not the finest, com
panies in the State. Of cosurse Raleigh
knows that the Governor's Guards is
the best, however. The Asheville com
pany has offeree to escort the Governor
to Nashville when he formally opens
the exposition on May 1. However,
tho Governor has not decided whether
he can attend yet. Raleigh Tribune.

Wilmington papers about the finding of
the body of a whale 3. feet long at
Wrightsville. The Morehead City
whalers say they killed, but did not se
cure a calf whale. They wounded the

simply because the crew which har
pooned her would not permit other
boats to lend a hand.

To the query, "Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions,
play cards, dance or attend the theater,
apt to be popular with young women of
refinement and education who do in
dulge in such amusements?" Edward
W. Bok, In "Problems for Young Men
In the Ladies' Home Journal, responds:
"Why, certainly; why not? The
amusements in which a man indulges
have nothing to do with his outward
attractiveness or popularity. It Is the
way in which a young man carries
himself In his deportment that makes
or mars his popularity with girls or
mem. One of the most popular and de
lightful fellows I know In New York
has never been inside of a theater, al
though he is 85 years of age. Nor has
he ever danced or played cards. He
was a personal friend for ten years be
fore I knew that his religious princi
ples precluded his Indulgence In these
amusements. His secret is that he
does not carry his convictions on his
sleeve for everybody to rub against.
And of his popularity with women,
young and mature, I can assure you
absolutely. He reads about the new,
plays, and can, therefore, talk about
them If they come up In conversation.
If asked If he has seen a certain actor
or play he merely replies In the nega
tive. Never doe3 he force his convic
tions upon others. A young man's
popularity with either sex rests upon
something more than his forms of
amusement; amiability of manner,
kindliness, a pleasunt address, a manly
outlook on life, honorable principles
all these go far toward Insuring popu-
larity."
The Horseshoe. '
Evejy one knows how common It ia
In country districts to see horseshoes
bailed against the doors of barns and
cottages, as a harbinger of good-luck.
This old custom has lately come undei
notice in a paper on the "Folklore of
the Horseshoe," read by Dr. Robert
Laurence before the American Folk-
Lore Society. He believes that the cus
tom of nailing up horseshoes originated
In the rites of the Passover, the blood
sprinkled on the doorposts and the llnteC
at the time of the great Jewish feasta
marking the chief points of an arch,
which is reproduced in the form of thi
horseshoe. It is also possible that the
custom is traceable to the Idea that the
horse brings luck, for in legendary lore
the animal has often been credited with
supernatural gifts.

of the President's death. The reason
for this Is that the Vice President may
be as young as 30 years, but the Presi
dent must be 45.

When you are talking Bicycles, don't be
content until you have seen the new
Lovell Diamond Models of '97
They are the to? notch of bicycle engi
neering, and f cience must now seek to de
velop other lt'elJs. The perfect point of
PERFECTION is reached only by the Lovell
Wheels. On ihis fact critics agree. Why
not look them over carefu'.ly, study their
strong points and note their beauty and
elegant finish. Their points of superiority
are so simple a chi d can understand them.
We stake our busintss reputation of over
55 years that there was never so perfect a
wheel made. It lesds them all. Investigate
and you w JI ride no other. Please call and
.examine, at our loci I agencies, or at our
stjres, 147 Washington and 131 Droad St.,
