LAST NOTICE, j
In again calling attention to
those of our subscribers who have
not ye 'renewed their subscrip
tions 'to'TW Watchman, we hope
thatwd will not be misunderstood.
The close of our special offer is on
Saturday, ' June 1st, at 6 p. m.
Theprice after that date will be
one'Xfl.OO) dollar as heretofore
.onedollar. We want to empha
sive the price for the reason that
many things now used in the pub
lishing business has materially in
creased the cost of production and
it.wilf " bev impossible to longer
make any cut in the regular sub
scription price. A number
of other papers have increas
ed their price to $1.50 and
$2.00, and it is likely that jmany
others will soon follow their ex
ample. No one who really wants
his home paper will object to pay
ing orie dollar for it. However,
our reduced price lasts till Satur
day, 'June 1st, consequently it is
to your interest to renew and pay
up in full before that date! We
can't think of furnishing The
Watchman at the present j price
and wait indefinitely for our pay,
hence our offer is for actual cash
paid in advance. If a blue cross
mark appears after your name
kindly make it your business to
attend to the matter at once.
This ia the only notice that will
be given.
DIVIDED WE FELL.
Some people's vindictiveness
and hatred of Mr. Bryan seems to
grow 'as the years pass by. It
looks peculiar to see men in one
breath boasting of Mr. Cleve
land's virtues and ability and in
the next showing, . by their con
tinual abuse of Mr. Bryan, that
they are unfit to judge either
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Cleveland
have strong followings, and by
the abuse of each other each has
succeeded in keeping their leader
up as a kind of perpetual candi
date and, incidentally, the Demo
cratic party out of control of the
government. Cleveland was a
candidate before Bryan, was de
feated before Bryan, has been a
candidate as often as Bryan and
betrayed his party. He was elect
ed twice and showed a true friend
ship for the South, or rather that
portion of the country from which
the great bulk of his vote came,
and this latter is quite true, of
about all presidents. Bryan
would as likely dp the same thing,
he is as capable and as intelli
gent as Mr. Cleveland, but he
sees things different. For this,
for his willingness to stand or
fall by his convictions, therefore,
he, in the eyes of the Cleveland
worshippers, is everything that is
vile, visionary, and is termed a
dreamer, a speculator, a fakir, a
political adventurer and desppil
er of the Democratic party, etc.,
etc. The friends of each ;are
again bringing out their old steeds
and showing forth their various
good points, their past achieve
ments and narrating their unusu
sual chances of success in the
coming political battle. The fael
is neither of them will ever again
be president and the talk and
speculations of their followers
serves only one purposo. That is
to keejj thebreach in the party
as wide as possible. It is. won
derful to look over the results
of this factional strife, it is tire
some, it is'ridiculous and worse
than quixotic. Isn't it possible
to compromise on some good
Southern man and let these fac
tional disputations cease? A Mo
ses must be raised if the Democ
racy does'nt wish to lose the way
to the White House, Bryan
could have been elected in 1896.
Bwrveu juib aay ana retired ere
this, had it not been for these
factional bickerings of the party.
STB(CKEMlCOURT
Cited Fate of AnQanias'Jo Him and fell
"Annanias was struck dead for
lying 1" indignantly exclaimed
Justice Bornemann, arising from
his chair and pointing defiantly
at a witness,---.. Sam Mclutyre,'
colored about 50 years old, who;
had just .completed testifying in
the Justice's court yesterday after
noon, , . -
"I beljve you have lied in the
sam way,1' stormed the justice.
With the latter remark and
while the justice was still stand
ing, pointing the finger of scorn
at the witness, Mclntyre keeled ;
over from hiB chair and fell in a
heavy to the floor. A large num
ber of colored people, and noi a
few whites who jammed and pack
ed the room frbile the trial was
going on, rushed pell mell into
street, front and rear. A few of
the less superstitious bent to the
assistance of the old man, whom
it was later discovered, had suffer
ed a stroke of paralysis. As
quickly as possible he was 'taken
oufc-of the court room to the fresh
air in a semi-conscious condition.
Later he was taken in a convey
ance to the? hospital, and then to
bis home, where it is said his re
covery is doubtful, as one whole
side is effected and he has parti
ally lost tbe power of speech.
The affair caused a real sensati' n
in the court room, and occuring
about 5 o'clock when many people
were passing the office, the crowd
soon reached the proportions of
several hundred. Wilming ton

A Terrific Hail Storm.
Durham, May 20 Late this
afternoon a terrific hail storm
passed some six or ei g h t
miles west of Durham and
all growing vegetation was badly
damaged. It is reported by some
that the leaves were whipped from
the trees until the ground was
covered to the depth of several
mcnes. ah crops that were up
sufficiently have been greatly
damaged, occording to reports.
It is said that the hail, while
small, was of such a sufficient
depth ihat it could be scaoped up
some time after the storm. In
Durham there was a heavy rain
and considerable wind, Special

Piedmont-Bedford . Concentrated
& Alum Water
Iron
( Repressing the Famous Bedford Alum & Iron Springs of Va.)
contains 17 of the most powerful Mineral Tonics.
An 18-oz. bottle contains 11 the minerals in a barrel of
the average water. We furnish the minerals, you
furnish the water. ,
We hav certificates both from the public and from emi
nent physicians, telling of jits virtue in Dyspepsia
Rheumatism, a large variety of Female Diseases,
Chronic Diarrhoea and Dysentery, General De
bility, Anaemia Malaria, Ulceration of the
Throat, Diabetes, Piles Chronic Eczema, Ner
yousness, Chronic Constipation, and many show
ing the wonderful cure's in n;hat dreadful disease, Scro
fula. Dr. T. L. Kablee, for fifteen years a resident jut the Springs, says:
For Scrofula, that fearful destroyer of human health and happiness, we have
hi this water a remedy which 'neither science nor fortunate accident has hitherto
found an equal. It is in this malady, and some forms of secondary and tertiary
Syphilis, that this water when earned to tts full alterative effect, displays its highest
curative powers. In all forms of diseases peculiar to females, this water will be"
found to exert a curative influence second to none in Virginia.
J have given your Concentrated "Water a fair trial, and sav with pleas
ure I have been greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or
less with Indigestion, followed by Constipation and other attendant "tits".
Within the past two months I have; found such relief from your remedy
that I have improved in strength and weight ; have eaten what I have not
dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been
able to do before for years.
Rev. OSCAR LITTLETON,
Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va.
Since 1894 I have been afflicted' with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six
months ago I commenced-using your. Concentrated Iron and Alum Water
wttft the most wonderful and satisfactory results. For three or four years
past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to
churchy as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost
entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy to state that after
; Ti i ..... . . -w- .. . .
using aooui a nan aozen potties oi, your remedy l am entirely cured, not
having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly
recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Caft. RTJFUS AMIS, Virgilina, Va. -
I was an intense sufferer for some months with Indigestion, and could
get no relief from the ordinary remedies. During the month of January I
began the use of your Concentrated Water, and one bottle has entirely re
lieved me. I can now digest any diet and am entirely free from suffering.
I take great pleasure in giving this testimonial.
Rev. H. M. BLAIR,
Editor N. C. Christian Advocate,
- Greensboro,. N. C.1
I have used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs';
but none of them begin to come up to your Concentrated Water in all that
goes to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetizer and restorative.
It is at once a-fine tonic and flesh-builder. Have advised several recently
to try it, and always with fine and quick results. In January I had a bottle
sent from one of your dealers to a lady, with the understanding that if it
did not at oneeimprovefcer digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself.
She not only Ulinglyr paid the biil, but used a part of one-half dozen more
bottles, and is n6w completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach
