SPENCER AND PERUNA.
Query as to Whether Republican States
man Prefers Parana to Corn Juice.
If by any chance sundry copies
of New York newspapers should
float into the mountain district
"where two distinguished gentle
men are seeking election to Con
cress, the eroose of Soencer Black-

'he moonshiner may
balance of power He caresmoth
itig for tariff or rate bills and in
surance legislation so long as he
is permitted to transform white
and yellow grain into liquid corn.
He will support the .candidate
who can offer the greatest protec
tion against minions who creep
into the hills and valleys to de
stroy the outfits that brew. But
Spencer B has ruined himself.
He has come forth brazenly in a
display advertisement to tell of the
greatness and joy in a drink of
Peruna. He is right there, top of
column next to reading matter,
handsome ana debonnaire, in
frock cqat, posing beautifully for
the artist, while his silk hat roats
upon his magnificent physique.
"I cheerfully join my friend,
Senator Pritchard," he says, "in
commending Pe-iu-na as a very
effective remedy for coughs, colds
and catarrhal troubles. Many of
friends have used it with excel
lent results,"

Ut course tnev nave, inat is
the popular drink in dry towns.
The endorsment has a double
meaning, for does not Spencer B
speak of Jeter C. as his friend?
Have we forgotten the exciting
moment in Washington when the
jurist refused to shake the proffer-
ed hand of the Congressman?
Perhaps they have made up. Pe
runa might have been the touch
of nature that made the whole
world kin But if moonshiners
annot read what Spencer B. says
it is Dick HackettTs place to read
it from the hustings. The idea
ef a man from the mountains
saying that there is a greater
drink than Noith Carolina corn
liquor is beyond and above us,
and when the men holding bal
ance of power realize the full ex
tent and meaning of the adver
tisement they will rush to the
polls and Spencer B. will be un
happy ever afterward. Praising
Peruna in the eighth is like shak
ing the, red flag before the bull
of the infuriated bull. Ral

Takes Place of Jail.
Buncombe county s lail and
work house for, the shelter and
keep of the unfortunates of the

city and county is. at last com
plete and the inmates of the old
home will next week be moved to
the new quarters and the present
Democratic county admistration
be enabled to point with pride to
the modern and up-to-date home
in the State.
The new county home has been
'built at a cost of $20,000. It is a
thing of beauty and will result in
a saving to the county of several
thousand annually, In future
women and boys will be sent to
the home instead of being confin
ed in the county or. city jail.
There are several boys "and women
now"1n the county under sentence
of the courts for offenses and
Monday all this class of inmates
of the jail will be removed to the
county workhouse. Ashev 1 1 re

A Certain Cure for Group. Used tor Ten
Years Without a Failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City,
Ind., hardware merchant, is en
thusiastic in his praise of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
His children have all been sub
ject to croup and he has used this
remedy for the past j ten years ,
and though they much feared the
croup, his wife and he always felt
safe upon retiring when a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was in the house, His oldest
child was subject to! severe at
tacks of croup, but this remedy
nerer failed to effect a speedy
cure. He has recommended it to
friends and neighbors and all who
have used it say that it is un
equalled for croup and' whooping
cough. For sale by Jas. Plum

ff "THIS IS A HORSE"
ONCE there was a small boy who wrote "This Is a Horse "after trying
for hours to draw a copy on his slate of a thoroughbred racer. N He
admired the horse, wanted it, but had neither the ability nor the
experience to get him. He therefore tried to draw one. When his labors
were complete, he looked first at the genuine article, then at the miserable
imitation, and after long, deep study wrote THIS IS A HORSE, realizing
his failure and inability to reproduce the genuine, and he knew without This is a Horse
written below, no one would recognize what he had tried to make. Would-be competitors
have tried for years to imitate Grape Tobacco. They make bla k plugs of similar size, but
of less weight, and put in it all sorts of various concoctions, mixtures and kinds of Tobacco,
but all failed (to get the business) and finally hitiipon the small boy s plan, and printed on
the tag "SOMEBODY'S SUN CURED." They all advertise and tell you that SOMEBODY S
SUN CURED tag is valuable Of course it is (it cost about 15 cents per thousand) but how
