"tfhis plaintive sentence tells a volume of mother's agony. Insuch a dreadful condition, from eruptions and sores, Mrs. Guerinot's child received the tenderest care that Mother's love could give,. and the most skillful medical attendance that father's means could provide. Yet all failed until they turned to Hood's Sarsaparilla, which in this as in thousands of other cases has seemed to be the last resort, yet it has not failed. The result was inevitable just as certain to cure'as that day follows night. Evening's weeping turned to morning's, rejoicing. That is what Hood's Sarsaparilla will do for you if you will only let it. Just read Mrs. Guerinot's letter. It is a characteristic Hood's Sarsaparilla testimonial :' " My baby was three months old when festers broke ont on his neck. The openings ap peared like boils, spread down his back and along the spinal column until it appeared as one mass of sores. Our doctor prescribed for the case, but the disease spread and the little one's suffer ings increased and he became a mere shadow. His p:tiful wailing was heart-rending. It nearly crazed me weary and worn-out as I was from constant watching and nursing. The dis charge of matter was so profuse that it was necessary to dress his back three times a day. Every time the bandages were removed blood would flow , and for a time even powders and different salves did not check the trouble. It be came necessary to wrap the little , body in silk. "When the trouble appeared at its height our anxiety was increased by the ap pearance of a boil just outside the lid alongside one of his eyes. "We feared lest Jthe scrofulous mat ter get into the eye, and even if his life was spared to us, that his sight would become affected. " I had about given up hope of saving my baby, when I was asked why I did not try Hopd'a Sarsaparilla. Eager for anything 1 that held out hope, I procured a bottle of Hood's. I also got a cake of Hood's Medicated Soap and a box', of Hood's Ohve Oint ment.' I immediately laid aside all the doctor's medicines and r D s G. D.

Next I applied the , Olive Ointment and adjusted a fresh wrapping of silk. A change was notice able the next Sun day, giving assur ance that we had at last hit upon the treatment to success fully battle the poisonous blood. " Slowly but with a perceptible gain, the discharge grew less, the inflammation disappeared, the sur rounding skin took on a more healthy color, and what a short time before had been a mass of raw flesh began to scale over and gradually a thin skin formed and the scales dropped off. Not a scar or blemish around the eye, neck or back op anywhere on his body is to be found, and now at eight months old he is as' bright healthy and full grown as-any child of that age. Less than two bottles of HoocPs ' Sarsaparilla, aided by Hood's Medieated Soap and Hood's Olive Ointment,' accomplished this wonderful cure. " I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards Hood's Sarsapa rilla and your other medicines for the good they accomplished in my baby's case." Mrs. N. Guerinot, ST Myrtle St., Rochester, N. Y.

Oliis, to the republican congressional convention at Wilkesboro May 17. No instructions were given any of the delegates except the congressional del egates. The convention advised the delegates to the congressional convention as fol lows: Because of Mitchell's great re publican majority, amd being mindful of Georgre K. Prit'ehard's noble services for the republican party, and his loyaky ,to the various trusts the people of Mitchell have conferred upon him the delegation is instructed to oast their vote on the first ballot for him tlo be their canid&date to represent in congress the Eighth congressional district of North Carolina, but as they prize more higtily patriotism than profit or hon or for any individual, that if, after an earnest effort, his nomination cannot be secured, t'he delegation shiadl vote for some other worthy republican who is able to help us mainUain the rights of manhood suffrage and the honors of the Old North State. But they further insist that the convention will consid er their claim im behalf of "the banner republican county" and their esteemed friend and citizen, George K. Pritch ard. The chair appointed James J. Britt, J. C. Bowman and J. L. Banner a com mittee on resolutions. The following resolutions were adopt-" ed: ' "The republican party of Mitchell county in convention assembled mcs heartily enfdorse the splendid adminis tration of President McKinley. "We also most 'heartily and cordially endorse the course of Senator Jeter v. Pritchard. We especially endorse and commend his courageous and persever ing efforts to secure the confirmation of Hon. H. G. Ewart for juldge of the western, district of North Carolina, and deeply regret and deplore the opposition of Senator Marion Butler to the same. "We( condemn and repudiate the in famous election law and proposed constitutional amemdiment enacted by the democratic legislature of 1899 as a shameless and cowardly effort to dis franchise the poor -and illiterate of both races, and pledge the largest majority against it at the coming election ever cast against any measure." Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather on Monday there was a large crowd present who, vafter the business of the-convention, were interested-by an able and eloquent speech by Prof. James R. Britt against the proposed constitutional amendment. Prof: 'Britt spoke of the amendment, as measure, that if raitfied, -would place the poor and illiterate white imian in as degraded a political condition as the old slave negro. He also exposed the wickedness of the democratic party for swearing in 1898 it-was not the in tention of the democrats to disfran chise any one. I think I can speak the sentiments of the republicans of Mitchell county when I say that we will pledge our selves to give the largest majority against the proposed 'amendment ever, given against any measure. We don't intend to accomplish it by bloody shirts and Gatling guns ; nor do we propose 'do adopt in any way the plans of Mr. Aycockj, who sail, "There are three waysTfT' which we may rule, by force, by frkud or by law." We prefer the latter plan and condemn the others. We condemn such language as Lr. Tillman, of South Carolina, used in the United States senate when he saM: "We stuffed 'ballot boxes, we bulldozed the-iRlggTSand we shot 'em. And we are not ashamed of it." we oeneve to stir up party strife and blind am to race prejudice is bition appealing to race as dangerous to the morals of the coun try as infidelity is to i'rs religion. And if such principles as Mr. Ay cock, the man the democrats propose to run for the chief executiVe- of the state, oti j Mr. Tillman, of South! Carolina, and the leaders of the democratic party of North Carolina advocate, are allowed to be inculcated in the minds and hearts of the youths of the south we fear that the time is not far otf when a black man's life will be in as unuch Banger in our land of bibles and Sunday schools, with our church steeples pointing high toward heaven, as a white man's would be among the naked cannibals in the darkest jungles of Africa. We realize that the republican par y has always stood by the poor man on the battle field or at the ballot box. We d'o not have to lay aside con science to enter into the righteous fight which, is upon us, but the more religion r man has the better he is pepareiJ to fight the battle for free dom. We feel that the same principles are now at stake tWat caused our an cestors to lay down their sacred lives on the bloody battle fields of the rev olution. And as our liberties are about to be sacrificed to the ambitions of demagogues who lfke to put a burden upon poverty and ignorance and op press downtrodden humani.y,, we en ter into the fight boldly and fear noth ing more than an unfair count.

Confidence is the nail which fastens facts in the minds of people, and there certainly isyno other mam in western North Caioflna. who ihas a greater hold on the confidence of 1 the people than has J. M. Moody. The people have known him froim boyhood and have always founid' him the friend of the common people. They know he 'has never deceived them, therefore cannot think he will; they have elected him 'bo places of trust and honor and he served his constituents honestly anidl efficiently for all these reasons the people trust, hear and obey his warnings. In his speech he showed the great danger of rusting the democratic party in the coming1 election because they wilfully and knowingly deceived the people in 1898. Also the possibility of section 5-ef the proposed amendment being eliminated toy the supreme court, and thereby disfranchise about 60,000 white men. He maiiie all these dangerous points so clear that any sane minded man could see the great danger in trying this expriment -which is fraught with so many grave doubts as to what its effects will ,be on the franchise of our citizens. I have never had the pleasure of lis ening' to a speech that was more logi cal and unanswerable. He also made a few cursory remarks How sad it is to see weak children boys and girls who are pale and thin. They can not enjoy the sports of child hood, neither are they .able to profit by school life. They are indeed to be pitied. But there is hope for them.
