Wilmington, Nov. 15. Follow

of aicia?men of the cityasking for
an election on prohibition were
circulated among the congrega
tion, and it was announced that
388 signatures were received. The
petitions will be further circulat
ed and the prohibitionists express
confidence that the one-third o
the registered vote will be easily
secured. No date is named in the
petition for calling of an election
but this is expected to be very
soon. The registered vote of the
city in May was 2,895 ; therefore
only 800 signatures of qualified
voters is required to have the elec

The petitions were in printed

WATTERSON ON BRYAN.
Whites In Cotton Growing.
The old slave system drove hun
dreds and thousands of Southern
white men from the cotton fields
as the records show that more
' than 1,000,000 Southern-born
white men and women were living
north of the Mason and Dixon
' linewhen war was declaredbetween
the sections in 1861. It .cannot
be denied that even since the war
theie has been some prejudice
among the Southern white boys
and young men against manual
labor in the cotton fields. Under
the leadership and teaching how
ever of the agricultural and me
chanical colleges of the South our
boys and young men as well as
the great masses of the people,
have been filled with a spintr of
industrial education which has
made labor of all kinds equally
honorable and this old prejudice
is, thank God, becoming a thing
of the past. Southern Farm

Has Labored With Bryan to Hare Quit His
"Doginthe Manger" Attitude.
Boone, Iowa, Nov. ,15.crCol
Henry Watterson, asked today by
The Associated Press fof his opin
ion on William J. Biyan's tena-
tke acceptance of the Democratic
president'al nomination, declared
that he had labored with Bryan
to have him decline the nomina
tion and to his "dog in the man
ger" attitude. Colonel Watter-
son realized that iSrvan had it in
his power to demand the leader
ship oi the democratic party in
1908 "or defeat any other candi
date by knifing him ft he did
Parker."
Bryan's acceptance was no more
than he had expected, however
greatly he regretted the action,
because he thought Bryan could
no longer create enthusiasm, as
had been before the people too
many times.
Asked about the assertion often
made as to who the next Presi
dent would be, Roosevelt or
Bryan, Colonel Watterson said
that the nomination of Roosevelt
was all that Bryan Bupporters
wanted, because they could then
go to the people on the third term
slogan. Bryan could carry. New
England in such a campaign, he
thought. Roosevelt by such an
act would Mexicanize this govern
ment, holding himself as greater
than Washington.
As for himself, much as he dis
likes to do so, Colonel Watterson
would vote for Bryan against
Roosevelt in such a dilemma. He
bolieved, however, that Roosevelt
would decline another nomina
tion, as he had nothing to gain
and the Republican party had
many men of presidential calibre.
He mentioned especially Taft,
Hughes and Crane, of Massachu
setts. He said Senator Crane
would make a strong man on the
argument that New England had
not had a President for a long
time.

Miss Catherine Vospaugh," who
for nearly 60 years passed as a
man, died at a hospital today.
sne was norn in France 06 years
ago. When a young woman she
found it difficult to make her way
on account of her sex. Adopting
man's clothing, she obtained em
ployment as a bookkeeper in Jop

for nine years, and then accepted
a position in a St. Joseph "(Mo.)
bank.
While in St. Joseph she married
a -wo man, with whom she lived
for 30 years, as Charlps Vospaugh.
The two women, as man and wife,
came to Trinidad two years ago
After the death of the "wife"
Miss Vospaugh worked in various
capacities until she was so feeble
that last year she was taken to a
I hospital. It was then that her
sex was discovered, cut even alter
her recovery she refused t j change"
her clothing, and continued to
wear her masculine habiliments

What Has Been Speni in Ganai Construction.
. The number of men working on
the Panama canal on June 30 ag
gregated 20,000, of whom 4,370
were Europeans principally Span
iards. About $50,000,000 had
been expended on canal con
struction, including the cost of
labor and equipment, up to the
end of the last fiscal year, June
30, 1907. The United States
government paid $4,000 000 for
the property of the French Canal
Company. It paid, in addition,
$10,000,000 to the Republic of
Panama for certain territorial
rights. On July 1 last there was
an available balance of $32,000,
000 to the credit of the canal
commission. Uncle Sam had
paid out at the date of his last ac
counting $100,000,000 on account
of the canal project. This sum,
however, does not include the
maintenance of a complete sys
tem of sanitation, the construction
of water works the expenses of
civil government and work on the
Panama railroad. Baltimore Sun.

found an equal. It is in this malady, and some forms of secondary and tertiary
Syphilis, that ibis water when carried to its 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.
I have given your Concentrated "Water a fair trial, and say 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 ills.
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 doneTiarder work than I have been
able to do before for years.
Rev. OSCA.R LITTLETON,
Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va.
Since 1894 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About six
months ago I commenced using your Concentrate Iron and Alum Water
with 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
church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension having lost almost
entirely the control of my bowels; but now 1 am happy to state that after
using about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not
having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly
recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Capt. 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. G. Christian Advocate,
Greensboro, N. C.
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 ft, 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 once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the $1.00 myself.
She not'only villingly paid the bill, but used-a part of one-half dozen more
bottles, ana is now completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach
Trouble. This seems to bo the case with all who try it.
