ADVERTISED EXTENSIVELY.
Marion Butler and His Crowd
Advertised in Three New York
Papers For Repudiated Bonds.
(BY THOMAS J. PENCE)
Washington, Cor,
and Observer.
Oct. Slat.. Raleigh News
The New York Evening Post -only
one of a number of power
ful mediums in the financial cen
tre of the country employed by
Marion Butler when he hatched
his scheme to induce the holders
of carpet-bag and scalawag
bonds to put their claims in his
hands for collection. A search
of newspaper files at the con
gressional library today dis
closed the fact that Butler used
the advertising columns of both
The New York Sun and The
New York Times when he de
cided to become the broker for
the collection of these dishonor
able and disreputable class of
bonds.
The advertisement from The
New York Evening Post, which
The News and Observer sprung
on the people of the State last
week appeared in identical lan
guage in both The Sun and The
Times of New York, in the is
sues of April 28th. 1905. Both
advertisements were in double
column display on the financial
page. The words "The collect
tion of State bonds repudiated in
whole or in part," were in very
large advertising display type.
Butler's signature to the adver
tisement was in black type. The
advertisement was placed up so
as to attract the attention of
readers.
The reason that Butler and
Pettigrew and their associates
advertised so extensively and at
so great a cost for the collection
of these carpet-bag bonds was
due to the fact that there was a
rival syndicate in the field en
deavoring to get possession of
these worthless securities.
They wanted to corner the mark
et, hence their activity. The
opposition syndicate was headed
by Edwin L. Andrews and John
G. Carlisle. It also resorted to
advertisement in the New York
papers for the collection of
these scalawag bonds.
The Andrews-Carlisle syndi
cate beat the Butler-Pettigrew
gang in the field several days.
On the twenty-fifth of March the
opposition syndicate was at work
in the New York papers. Then
it was that Butler and his crowd
3 3d printers ink so extensivplv
iw get pot sessi n of the carpet
bag bonds wucrever held. That
Butler and Pettigrew resented
the intrusion of the nnnnsiHnn
syndicate is disclosed in their ad-!
vertisement published in The
Evening Post, The Sun and The
limes, iney gave expression to
their resentment in this lan
guage: "This committee has no
connection with any other com
mittee, and it knows that it is
alone in a nosit.inn to avail itsolf
on the benefits of the above men
tioned decision." This was the
reply of the Butler crowd to the
advertisement of tVm And
Carlisle syndicate that appeared
in the New York papers.
Marion Butler has been caught
with the goods on him, and the
defense that he is endeavoring
to prepare after taking time to
communicate with his conspira
tor j will not save his face. If he
had a defense to make he would
have put it before the people the
day the evidence was presented.
In the meantime he could inter
est the people of North Carolina
by telling them what he has
dene with the carpet-bag t0nds
that he solicited and collected.
These infamous papers would be
safer in South Dakota than in
North Carolina, and perhaps
Pettigrew is the custodian of
them. He has been the main
prop of Butler since he em
barked upon the bond brokerage
business.
A New Departure.
A new departure in the line of
newspaper business for North
Carolina has iust been made bv
The Times of Raleigh. This big
daily has reduced its price by
mail to $2 50 per year, payable in
in advance. Some weeks ago this
paper ran a special bargain price
and the results were so flatter
ing that the management decided
to give the people of the State a
daily newspaper for the price of
$2.50 per year. Ji V. Simm?,
editor and pubisher of the paper,
announces at the same time that
many more improvements are to
be made in the future. The Times
will do no more credit business
but will be strictly cash in advance.

Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.
A PROMPT AND EFFICIENT REMEDY.
Mr. S. W. Jackson, 315 Weaver Block,
Greenville, Ohio, says: "While I was
mperintendent of construction of J. F.
Bender and Bros.' Co., of Hamilton,
Ohio, I became entirely unfit for busi
BesH with catarrh of the stomach.
"A friend called my attention to a
remedy for this condition. I began to
Improve at once. I was 6oon able to re
turn to my former profession.
"It would require many pages to de
scribe the condition I was in and the re
lief I have obtained."
Here is another ase. Officer George
Y. Stout, 721 North Broadway, Balti
more, Md., Bays: 'I suffered very much
with catarrh of the stomach and ner
von indigestion. I lost fifty pounds in
lour months.
"A friend called my attention to a
remedy, which I used, and gradually
pet well. I have gained half my lost
weight back again."
Chronic Stomach Trouble.
Mr. Robert J. Gillespie, 636 South
Main St., Los Angeles, Cal., secretaiy
of Lather's International Union, was
fcJeo Buffering from catarrh of the stom
ach along time. He grew thinner and
paler, lost all ambition and appetite.
Hick at the stomach, indigestion con
tinually. A friend also called his attention to
& remedy, which brought about a de
cided improvement. After continuing
the use of the remedy for a month, he
considers himself permanently relieved.
Now, once more. Mr. Christian Hof
man, Slatington, Pa., says he suffered
for many years with catarrh of the
stomach. It produced a miserable
cough, day and night. He tried doctors
and many remedies. At last his atten
tion wag called to a remedy, the same
remedy that relieved the others which
have been referred to above. He claims
that he waa entirely rid of his stomach
difficulty.
Pe-ru-na Brought Back Health.
What was the remedy that has
wrought this remarkable relief? So far,
the remedy has not been mentioned.
If any one doubts the correctness of
these statements it is very easy to ver
ify them by writing to the people whose
names have been given, enclosing a
tamp for reply.
The remedy is within the reach of
very one. It is simply the good, old
standard reliable remedy known he.
Peruna.
If the truth were known, the probay
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis-""
tence. We have a great many unsolic
ited testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en
tirely relieved them of catarrh of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, if you have
stomach difficulty, it is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may tesult from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As chronic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a com
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this ia of an irri
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
ach f request and persistent.
"Food produces dull headache, and a
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked."
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincideexactly with the frequent
descriptions Dr. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.
If you have any of these symptoms
get a bottle of Peruna. Take a dose be
fore each meal. See if your stomach
does not immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
People who object to liquid medicines
I can now secure Peruna tablets.
