FIRST DEBATE OF THE CAMPAIGN
in Rowan County Between Congressman
Dougaton and H. S. Williams.
Salisbury enjoyed the first joint
debate of the present campaign
Monday afternoon when Con-
gressman Doughton and his Re !
publican opponent, H. S. Willi
ams, used up two hours and fif
teen minutes addressing several
hundred voters at the court house.
In the main the speeches were
temperate and the only appreci
able effect on the audience was
shown by an occasional laughing
spell or abbreviated applause.
Mr. Doughtoti had first go and
he was introduced by Hon Theo.
F Kluttz, who 1 referred .to the
achievements of the Democratic
party in its three and a half y:ars
ot National reiern and sixteen
years of State management and
who paid "Farmer Bob" the com-.
cratic sue'ee'ss.
A H Price introduced Mr Wil-
Hams, who, he said, represented
the reunited Republican party,
the party which for ihirty-five
years with several accidential in
terruptions had ruled this coun
try and made of it a great Nation.
This, he said, stands for real
patriotism, real protective tariff
and real prosperity, not the spas
modic, blood-stained prosperity.

nervousness. I had
a pain in my right
side and could not
eat anything with
out hurting my
stomach. I could
not drink cold water
at all nor eat any
kind of raw fruit,
nor fresh meat nor

I fell over. I began to take Lydia E.

ten days later I could eat and it did not
hurt my stomach. I have taken the
medicine ever since and I feel like a
new woman. I now weigh 127 pounds

Big Circus and Great Spectacle Occupy Five
Trains Crammed With Wonders.
The big event for which the
youngsters and grownups have
been impatiently waiting is draw
ing near, for on Monday, October
16, Ringling Brothers' circus is to
exhibit afternoon and night in
Charlotte. Expectancy never ran
so high before and it is likely that
this district will send a large de
legation to feed the elephants.
Unusual interest centers around
the gigantic spectacle, "Cinder
ella," with which the famous
showmen are this season opening
their wonderful main tent pro
gram. "Cinderella" is probably
the best loved of all fairy tales
and to see it produced with more
than 1,000 persons, hundreds of
dancing girls and glorious page
ants, indeed gives promise of
making "childhood's golden dre
ams come true." In the same
great tent, will come the marvel
ous circus numbers in which 400
men and women performers,
scores of trained animals and a
gaxy of special features are
introduced. The majority"of the
acts are entirely new to America,
the Ringling Brothers having
secured the pick of those Euro
pean performers who have been
obliged to seek engagements in
this country because of the war.
The all-new street parade will
take place show day morning.
