Currie, X. C, Aug. 16. It is esti
mated conservatively that there were
between four and five thousand people
gathered yesterday on the historic bat
tlefield of Moore's Creek, near here, to
participate in patriotic exercises which
attended the unveiling of a very hand
some monument to the heroic women
of the lower Cape Fear during the Rev
olutionary period. People came from
far and near, including a large party
from Wilmington who returned last
evening. The weather was ideal for a
celebration of the kind and the day was
a perfect success in every particular.
After the speech came a bountiful
picnic dinner, provided by the good
women of Pender county. Excellent
order prevailed during the day, a large
measure of this having been due to
Chief Marshal Jno. B. Hawes and fifty
mounted aides, who led the procession
from Currie to the grounds. The exer
cises were interspersed with the sing
ing of patriotic songs and inspiring
music by the band, "The Old North
State", "Dixie", "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee", having been blended in fine un
ison, inspiring the large crowds in at
tendance and contributing much to
wards making the day the red letter
occasion that it was.
A pleasing incident of the day was
the presence of Capt. T. W. Slocumb,
of Goldsboro, who is a great grandson
of Mary Slocumb, one of the heroines
to whom the monument is erected,
and a grandson of Jesse Slocumb, who
represented the Newbern district in
Congress in his time.
The monument is of blue Winnsboro
granite, surrounded by a staute of
Imported Italian marble in carved
likeness of a beautiful woman posing
"Rememberance," being six feet tall,
the whole monument towering to a
height of 15 feet, standing on a mar
ble base, five feet seven Inches square.
Its weight is more than 25,000 pounds
andit was erected at a cost of some
thing over $2,000, being the execution
of the Wilmington Granite and Marble
Works, of this city, Mr. R. D. Tucker
proprietor as successor to H. A. Tuck
er & Bro. Mr. Frank Meier, of the
warks, has been at the battleground
all the present week, superintending
the work of construction and it is de
clared by all who have seen it to be
one of the most handsome pieces ot
work of its kind seen in this locality,
occupying a 'commanding position on
the historic spot and bearing striking
testimonial to the brave woman of the
lower Cape Fear during the Revolu
tionary period. The inscriptions on
the shaft are as follows:
Front side: "To the honored mem
ory of the heroic women of the Lower
Cape Fear during the American Re
volution, 1775-1781."
On the reverse side: "Unswerving
in devotion, self-sacrificing in loyalty
to the cause of their country, their
works do follow them; and their chil
dren rise up and call them blessed."
On fourth side:
f 'Most honored of the names
recorded by the Historic Association,
is that of
MARY SLOCUMB,
Wife of Lieutenant Slocumb,
Riding alone at night sixty-five miles
to succor the wounded on this battle
field her heroism and self sacrifice
place her high on the pages of history,
and should awaken in successive gen
erations true patriotism and love of
country. f

On the third face is this inscription:
"This monument was erected by the

tion in the year 1907."

CUTICURA CURES
BLOOD POISONING
Hand Cut With Lead Pipe Arm
Became Painful and Swollen
Sufferer Was in Despair, for
Amputation Seemed' Last Resort.
CURED IN A MONTH BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
A few years ago, while at work, I
cut my hand with a piece of lead pipe
end, as it was but a mere scratch, did
not give it any attention. A few days
after my arm began to pain me and
became terribly swollen. I went to see
a physician, who told me it was a oase of
blood poison, and if there were no signs
of the inflammation leaving I should
have to have my arm amputated. He
treated me for a month or so, but did
not help me. Another doctor told me
it was inflammatory rheumatism, but
his medicine seemed to do no good. I
gave up all hope and was discouraged.
At last a friend told me to try a good
blood medicine. I used Cuticura Re
solvent Pills for three weeks, when, to
my surprise, the place where I had
cut my hand began to fester and then
broke out in a large sore. The swelling
went down, and I applied the Cuticura
Ointment and inside of a month my
arm was entirely cured, and I owe my
recovery to the Cuticura Remedies. I
can never praise them enough, and I
recommend them to all my friends.

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its' product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
w TRUTH AND QUALITY'" " " , .
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original - method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. n
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known do physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig S3rup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

A CERTAIN SAFE
TStEJrmEHT
Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the
condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the
"cure worse tlian the disease. But they cannot cure the vile disorder;
they can only cover up the symptoms for awhile or mask the disease in
the system, but as soon as the treatment is left o3 the hideous symptoms
return. Mercury and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and
bowels, produce chronic dj'spepsia by drying up the gastric juices, cause the
teeth to decay, and often completely break down the constitution, and where
they are used in large quantities, the bones become affected, while the
disease for which one has so long 'taken this destructive treatment has
not been cured. Contagious Blood Poison is a disease it will not. do to trifle
with. It is a vile, dangerous and destructive disorder. When the blood
becomes infected with its virus the mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eye
brows come out, glands in the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots
appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out on the body, the
finger nails drop off and the sufferer i3 diseased from head to foot. S. S. S.
is the only known antidote for Contagious Blood Poison the one remedy
that is able to get to the root f the disease and force out every particle of
the poison so that there are never any signs of its return. It is purely
vegetable, made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of known curative,
value. Instead of leaving bad after-effects as some medicines do, S. S. S.
tones up every part of the system and puts every part of the body in perfect
health. It will also remove any lingering effects of former mineral treatment
