Had the rain not inter vened the committee would have had easy Bailing; but a It I thing are rather doubtful. If the city, how ever, had to pay for the amount of profitable advertising Moured at o much per inch. It 1 afe to saw that another substantial bond issue would have to be floated In order to pay the bill. That crook, pickpocket and unde- slrbale generally are no respecter of persons has been many times manifested, particularly on such oc casions a that offered by the Presi dent' visit Thursday. (Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, had hi pockets rifled during the crush at the re viewing stand as the parade was pass ing and relieved of $10. It wa when the storm broke out afresh and when there waa a wild scramble for shel ter. In -the stampede the pickpock et, who had evidently selected hi man before time, did hi work. His reward, however, waa very disappoint ing. There were other aouDtiese wno were also touched. While the benevolent organizations were "providentially hindered" from making a little money with which to send boxes to missionaries, purchase new church carpet, or do omethlng else of like character, the "near-beer saloon" operating under cover, of the element aa well a the law nf the land, simply coined the money by the harrels. There was one Joint In the Kelwyn Hotel, one at the Buford, one or more at the Central and at vari ous place in the city, to ay noth- !ing of other Institution elsewhere. And what a thriving trade did they rnjoy! The torrential rains. Instead of hurting their business, helped it, for it drove the people indoor. The ways of Providence are Indeed strange.

These old soldiers braved the elements valiantly and made a splendid showing. As the parade left the hotel, Capt. Archibald W.

"Well, we want you to aot not only sh an escort but as a guard. Are you prepared for any emergency?" "That we are," was the ready and decided response. The word was then passed .up the line, the action of the military aide In showing this trust end confidence in the old soldiers being deeply-appre-ctated. Had there been any occasion for trouble, it is enough to have said that there would have been ample forces at hand to have met and eoped with any situation.

PROMINENT MERCHANTS STORY OF REMARKABLE CURE IN RALEIGH Harry Armstrong Cured of Deafness After Thirty Years By Famous Andes' Treatment "Payne, The Great Advertiser," Overwhelmed By Crowds. Raleigh, N. C. May 21. Score of letter, telegram and telephone calls were received to-day. urging "Payne. The Great Advertiser." not to change hi plan and go on further wet. as was being contemplated, hut to make Charlotte hi next stopping place. The new that this noted in now making a tour of the State of North Carotyr-a for th purpose Introducing the celebrated.. Andes' remedies In every home. In the Old North State, seem to have attraoted universal attention and thousands of people, in person or by -ma!! are seeking his aid and advice and the cure of their troubles and diseases with the Andes' remedies. -.. Every community in the State with any spirit or enterprise Is urging "Payne, The Great Advertiser." to vllt It. many of them offering every inducement possible to imagine to make their pleas stronger. But chiefly due to the fact that sir. Payne has such pleasant re membrances of Charlotte, he ha de cided not to change his originat plans and-will very shortly leave for the Queen CUv. hi departure depending apon bis ability to see the multitudes of those anxious to Interview , him here.. -Od of - the most remsrkable features of the Raleigh campaign, Wtilcn is th opening of the State wide: movement for the promotion of the Andes' preparation, is the cure of a prominent merchant, who has had his hearing restored after thirty years' almost total deafness. When the news of the cure first be came known It caused a sensation la. tha throngs asaetnbled at the BobWtt-WyB.no Drug Co., on Fayette ville street, ss Intense Interest, border ing on excitement, was shown. , A. well-known grocemnan told the storyr statins; to- Mr. Payne that he had - been.. In Atlanta daring his last work there and ' "I witnessed" the miraculous demonstration on Harry euccese when Jia.vftlt Armstrong, the prominent Whitehall street dry goods dealer, who had been deaf for over thirty year. I heard hi statement aoon after he had used Andes' Great Oil and I also heard his statement, made the night before you left Atlanta, to an enormous audience, in which he said that his hearing had been fully restored permanently eured." This evidence of tbe wonderful merit of the Andes' medicines, vouched for by an unimpeachable witness known to thousands in Raleigh, removed the last doubt in the minds of the citizens of this city and ever since "Payne, The Great Advertiser," has literally been be sieged by those seeking relief from disease. Tha two medicines of which Mr. Payne, especially well known to the people of Charlotte, is proprietor are new discoveries, comparatively speak ing, but sine first placed on the market over a quarter-million of dol lars worth have been sold and not a Ingle person, not even one, has ever claimed that they did not cure those diseases for which they were adver tised as being efficacious Andes'. Great Oil ha never been surpassed for rheumatism, neuralgia, stiff joints, drawn nerves and leaders and palsied muscles, while Andes' Great Prescription Is one of the most wonderful curatives for stom ach, liver, kidney and bladder trouble known to tho world to-day. It is fine ss a spring; tonic snd has very vsluabla eftsct when used In feminine diseases, being unsurpassed ss a regulator and blood purifier. ' These two preparations hsve not only made "Payne, The Great Adver tiser,'' immensely wealthy, but have endetred him to thousand of homes In the South to which he has brought happiness and prosperity through ths restoration of health and his original advertising.
