C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908. NO. 8 VOL,. XXTI J 1 " j at- HON. CHARLES H. THOMAS Brilliant Record of The Congressman fna The Thlri North Carollaa District. The coming election on Tuesday, November the 3rd, is for the purpose of stectiR not only a President and State and county officers, but tor the election of a C ngreismen. The Democratic candidate for Con gress in this District is again Hon. Charles R. Thomas, of Craven county. On the 23d of June, at Goldsboro, he was again nominated for the sixth con secutive time. The convention was a large and enthusiastic one, made up of renresentative citizens ot the Third Congressional District of North Caro lina, including farmers, business and professional men from all parts of tire nine counties of the District, which extends trom Carteret eounty, on the coast, to Pender county and the New Hanover line. The counties compos ing the Third Congressional District are: Cateret, Pamlico, Craven, Jonas, Onslow, Duplin, Sampson, Pender and. Wayne. These counties lying along the Noriolk and Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, com prise one of the laireat and best sec tions of the "Old North State." The people of the District, numbering abeut 175,000, are among the bebt and most thriltv and nroeressive citizens of North Carolina. The interests of the District are many and varied-, incluJ ing, besides agriculture and the cul tivation of cotton, large trucking, fish ing and lumbering interests. The Rem-esentative of this District bas intrusted to him not on y th agri cultural interests ot the District, but aoprouriations ior rivers and haibors. public buildings, light houses, life saving stations and many other im portant matters involving the welfare ot his people. To have been the Rep resentative for ti e past ten years ot such a constituency nd to be re-nomi-na'ed for the sixth term in the Nat ional House of Representatives, is an exceedii gly hiRh honor giyefi.tobui few men in the State, Mr. Thomas and Hon. John H. SmaJ will be thejst iror meiubersol the North Carolina delegation iu Conresss upon the retirement oijioit. W. W. Kitchen. With all, the lienors bestowed tipon him by repeated re-election the Repre sentative ot the Third District is the same Charles R. Th.mas wli. was first elected C to Congress in 189S He is a Democrat of undoubt ed loyalty to his party, but in matters which are not partisan he serves all the people of I his District. The hum blest citizen of his District receives bis attention and a reply to his letter and request, while the larger interests of very kind alsojjreceive the benefit pi his influence, which is increased by his length ot service and will be still greater in the event ol bis re-election. He is now taking -up, with greater power and infl jeucsfothan ever, the improvement of our water ways, sounds, rivers and every leeder there to, as well a the drainage ol swauip lands of Eastern Nerth Carolina. By reason ot his length of service and po sition upon the Committee on Pnblic Buildings, he secured for Noith Cero lina in the House ef Representatives 976S.OOO, to which Senator Overman added in the Senate, and between Senator Overman auJ Mr. Thomas the State secured! for public buildings a reund million of dollars, - The appro priations forpublipybuildings includ ed improvements of the public build ings at New Bern and Goldsboro, and a $300,000.00 custom htjuse for Wil mington. jAlso increased appropria tions for Kingston public building and many other cities. Mr. Thomas isjthej second ranking Democrat of the Committee on Public Buildings. In speaking upon the sub ject ot pnblie buildings and Mr. Thomas' influence, the chairman on the committee of public buildings, Mr. Bartholdt, said:g"I want to make this eiQDbatio statement, that in no case has the oommitteeon public buildings - deviated from the rule, which is, that no considerationSshould be given to a town having less than $10,000 postal receipts. Let me, i add, Mr. Speaker, that the State ot North Carolina has more appropriations in this bill in pro portion to its poulation than anv other; State in the Union." (Ap plause.) This referenceiJwas to the public buildings bill in the House of Repre sentatives and intended as a compli ment ot the workj ot tho Representa tire ot the ThirdfDistrict. In co-opera tion with the Hon. John H. Small and Senator F. M.Simmons, Congressman Thomas helped to secure, over the op position el Republican ehaiiman of the committee, Mr. Burton, $550,000 ior the construction of the first link of the great Inland Waterway from Nor folk to Beaufort. He made the fight also upon the floor of the House, leading the debate, for the survey of the Appalachin Forest Reserve, and the Senate amendment was carried in the llouse providing for such survey on a roll call and over the opposition of Speaker Cannon. Congress Thomas won two other notable victories in the House of Rep resentatives, in the passage of the war claim ot St. John's Masonic Lodge, New Bern, N. C, and tho prevention of tho consolidation of Custom Houses at New Bern and Beaufort, making Deputy Collectors for the same. Both these victories wen won on a roll call and over the oppesition of Represen tative floor leader, Mr. Payne, of New York. He has manifested so much tact and energy and courtsesy that Republicans in Congress support him in matters whieh are not political. Congressman Thomas is willing to give and tako blows, He has established in his Dis tricts more than one hundred rural tree delivery routes, distributing an nually $90 ,00 in cash among tho peo ple, being the largest number of rural free delivery routes in proportion to tho population in any district in North Carolina. He has repeatedly introduced bills tor the increase of salaries of Rural Free Delivery carriers, all of whom, with post office clerks, are un der civil service. His success has been so notable that he has won the admi ration and respoet ot men of all parties, and men who were forineriy his oppo- nonts in his own party. Ho is in close touch with the Demo cratic leader, Hon. John Sharp Wil liams, and placed him in nomination in a brilliant speech which went broad east through the country. He is the sworn friend of Hon. Champ Clark, who will be tho next Democratic leader, and Is in close tau-h with every influence sit Wash ington. His whole time, though, energy, ability and means have been given to the service ot the Dlstriot and State. He has been greatly Interested in a treaty with Canada, which will benefit the strawberry growers ot his district. Also in a proposed treaty with France which would benefit the South ern cotton seed oil mills and their pro ducts, which have increased in value from two or three million dollars to between forty and fifty million dol lars. His speeches in Congress have be.-n broad, conservative, statesmanlike, and they have been numerous, touch ing upon every public question in the interest of the masses of the people and every question in the interest of his District and State. Born in Beaufort, Carteret county, North Carolina, in 1861,' representing that county in the Legislature in 1887, living in New Bern, N. C, for forty years, he has been iaithtul and loyal to every interest of Carteret county in which he'was born and Craven county in which be has lived the most et his life, and the people in the District. The newspapers of the District have repeatedly placed his record before the people. From that' record no man or interest in his Distriet need fear any harm to any interest. As Representative in the State Legis lature in 1887 trom Carteret county, as attorney for the county of Craven for six years, as Democratic, Presidential Elector, and as Congressman for ten years, : he has won not only the confidence- but the love ot his people, and, as he himself has said: "While there are others ot greater ability, he yields to none in his loyalty to every interest fate? of the people ot his District." In his five campaigns for Congress he has met in joint discussion the strong est and the ablest men in the Repub lican and Populist parties such men as J. J. Fowler, Major George Butler, Judge Robinson, Mr. Dixon and others, to the satisfaction of tho Democrats and the people. Well-known throughout the District in which he was born and where he has lived all of his life, he has never met defeat for nomination or eleotion in any contest in which he was engaged, but he never takes anything for grant ed and is always polite and respectful to all. With him an opponent is an opponent, a campaign is a campaign, and he never runs a campaign upon last year's votes. While his election is assured by a larger majority than ever, we believe still the Republicans have seen fit to nominate a candidate against him in the person of E. W. Hill, of Goldsboro, N. C, and they have nominated for Republican District Elector, Major George K. Butler, of Sampson County, thereby combining the same old crowd of Federal office holders and the Adams, Duncan and Butler forces. There is no doubt tho supporters of Mr. Hill will be at the polls on election day in full foree, and if our people de sire to send our present Representa' tive back to Congress by not only a majority, but a large majority, which will add to his growing influence, they must also be at the polls on the day of election. Remember that Vance said; "The no mination is not worth any thing unless your disabilities are re moved by election." Do the people ot the District, regard less of any differences of opinion on any question, want E. W. Hill in Con gress, or do they want Charles R. Thomas, who is today one of the most influential members in Congress, not only from the State, but from the South? Without sacrifice of principle he is one of the most popular men in Congress on both sides of the House. He is able, fair, bold and popular. One of the newspapers of his District said of him: '.'The strength of Charles Randolph Thomas amoiiK the people of his Dis trict, lies in his integrity of purpose in serving his constituents and in taith fully maintaining a high personal character in the office at Wa&hington to which ha has been elected. It is a record of 'which every voter in the I'.ii'i'd iiCri-t in proud, t.' have u-h a v ' u re--man, and it s a record hardly tq,inl ed, much is surpasst-d.iii uy ouir Cuij i esstoiiai District ei Norih Careiiiia." The following appropriations have been secured by Congressman Thomas during his service: Rovenue Cutter, "Pamlice"175.000 Postofflce building at Golds boro, to include striking deck with illuminated dial .... d0.00 Improvement of Public Build ing at New Born, including striking clock with illuminat ed dial -20,00 Appropriation to improve road way to National Cemetery at Now Bera 10,000 Lite Saving Stations at Cape Lookout and Old Topsail Inlet, near Fort Maceu, opposite Boautort, and equipment lor aaid stations... .50,000 Lite Saving Station at Swans- bore, N.

T. H. Bain, of Goldsboro, and others. Rural Free Delivery Route in annual salaries 90,000 Beacon Light in Bay River, Pamlico county, and other r Beacon Lights 10,000 Cape Lookout Lightship 90,000 He has also made speeches for and secured increases of pay for light house keepers and for the men of the Lite Saving Service, and always stood for Increase ot pay for the rural letter car riers. With such a record, for whom will you vote at the polls on election day, K. Walter Hill, or your present Con gressman Charles R. Thomas? CHOLERA SITUATION It Is Hoped ihat the Bisease is Now Cfiuiatrel. (Special to Thk Argus.) Manila, Oct. 12. Only three new case of cholera have been reported for the 34 hour ending this morning, and five for the previous 24 hours. The healtboftioials are therefore very hopeful, but at the same time are somewhat suspicious of these sharp de clines. Lest the report as to the spread of the disease may be doctored. "The Bepabiican Plan ef Regulating the Trusts." In a speech in the West Mr. Taft told the people that if Mr. Bryan sue ceeded he would put trust-controlled articles on the free list, but that the Republicans would not do anything of the sort, but "the Republican plan ot regulation is the proper remedy.'" The '"Republican plan of regulation" has been in operation 12 years, with th-e result that under McKinley 127 new trusts were - organized and under Roosevelt 107 new ones began busi ness. If the Republican plau ol reg ulating" is proper, why do trusts mul tiply an I why do they continue to practice extortion? TOUAf'S MARKET. '" New York, Oct. 13 The stock mar ket opened with gains.

INSTANT RELIEF OF ITCHING HUMOR Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw Feet Too Swollen to Get Shoes On Sleep Completely Broken by Intense Itching and Burning Well in Two Days and Says That CUTICURA IS AMONG HIS HOUSEHOLD GODS "God bless the man who first com pounded Cuticura. Some two months ; ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned-. They were so swollen that I had to split my drawers open to get them on. and could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or six dif ferent remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was. worse and the itching less . O ne mornin g : I remembered that I had a bit of Cuti cura and tried it. From the moment . it touched me the itching was gone and I have not felt a bit of it since. Tho swelling went down and in two days I had ; my shoes on and was about as usual.. I only wish I had used the Cuticura Remedies in the first of my troubles. They would have saved me two or three weeks of intense suffering. Dur ing that time I did not sleep an hour at a time, but was up applying such remedies as I had. Henceforth tho Cuticura Remedies will be among my household gods, rest assured. George B.
