Senator Hanna is, the logical
candidate of the Republican party.
He is thoroughly in sympathy with
its monopolistic idolatry. Of course
he would be even more easily beaten
at the polls that Mr. Roosevelt, but
the Democrats do i.ot object to that.
Senators Rawlins and Carmack
have ably demonstrated the rotten

looking to Senator Bailey to out

lines that may receive the support of
every true American.

The selection of the Duchess of

The latest cablegrams from Ma

Evidently to the dangers of bullet

uniform, in its unholy war of con
quest, is to be added the scourge of
the plague.
Still another attempt will be
made to get the Ship Subsidy bill
passed by the House of Representa
tives. The prospect that the next
House will have a democratic ma
jority is so strong that it is madden
ing to Senators Frye and Hanna to
ee this opportunity of "caring for

Ox an average the

stronger than the left. Recent
tests show that 51 per cent, of the
men have a stronger right arm, 16

the arms equal in strength because
they use both more uniformly.

'ApRoros of the conventions for
the nomination of Congressmen,
which will be held soon, it is worth
remarking that lie states which
send the same men to Congress for
many successive terms are the states
which not only secure the best repre

tribute the most to national legisla
tion. o
The President has sent to the
Senate the nomination of Patrick J.
O'Brien, to be postmaster at Dur
ham. Pat is a clever fellow, and
he may have some growling at him
for not getting the mails in their
boxes as quick as they would like,
he has made a good postmaster. He
is an affable Republican, and as
there was no chance to set in a
Democrat for this term, we con
gratulate him upon being his own
successor. We hope he will be able
to move into the new public build
ing before he goes out of office.

The Richmond News says that a
few months ago the President was
being denounced by a Vermont man
because he spoke well of General
Lee and the Confederate navy.
Now Bishop Eeiley assails him
fiercely because he called Jefferson
Davis "traitor." These are the
penalties of free speaking of opin
ions more or less hastily formed.
The fact is that if the average man
of middle age was called to account
for all that he has said in his life he
would have to put in most of his
time explaining and modifying.

Four of the Democratic members
of the House Judiciary committee
united in a minority report against
the bill for the amendment of the
Bankruptcy law, which has been
favorably reported by a majority of
the committee. The minority report
does not stop with opposing amend
ment of the Bankruptcy law, but
advocates its absolute repeal. It
says: "We do not believe there is
any neceBBity or any general publio
demand for the longer retention of
this law. It has tended to burden
the Federal courts with litigation,
which could be just as well con
ducted by the courts of the States."

A PECULIAR COINCIDENT.
Confederal Veteran Neighbors Sodden-
ly Prop Dead.
Raleigh Post: A sad but pecu
liar coincidence was related to a
Post representative yesterday by
Hon. II. A. London, of Pittsboro,
who spent the day in the city.
On Tuesday of this week Mr.
Thomas J. Poe, of Chatham, resid
ing near Moncure, conducted a fu
neral service at Gum springs Bap
tist church over the remains of one
of bis neighbors, Mr. George A.
Thomas, a worthy citizen who drop
ped dead of heart disease the day
previous.
Yesterday morning Mr. Poe was
in his yard, and without having
complained of any illness suddenly
dropped dead himself. Mr, Poe
was about 70 years of age and a
good man. He leaves a family.
Both men were Confederate vet
erans and stood well in their com
munity. Their sudden taking off
has cast a gloom of sorrow over that
portion of Chatham, and will be a
source of regret to their friends
wherever they were known.

city suffered another heavy lc? by
Ere today, the third in foar months,
and v&kiable property io the heart
of the city wai destroyed. The fire
raged for nearly three hjursinthe
business section, and the loss is es
timated at about $200,000.
The fire is supposed to have start
ed in tbe Virginia Candy Compa
ny's factory, owned by' Lmtn Jc
Lobruan, situated on Commercial
place. An eltturio spark, due to
defective insulation, U onppwd to
have been the cause. The dimes
soon reduced the building to a mass
of smoking ruins nd theu spread to
other building." Tbe Norfolk Dis
patch, an afternoon newspapei; L
W. Davis, tobaccu raaouf luturer;
M. Hofheimer & Co., tobacco manu
facturers, and R YV. MaeDonald,
restaurant keeper, were the princi
pal sufferers, tbe building being
ruined by fire. A riU-nber of other
buildings were more or less damaged
by fire and water.
Among other persons who suffer
ed property loss were L. P. Rob
erts, Mrs. K. H. Jones and C. Ko
che, owners of valuable business
property. Two vacant stores and a
wholesale grocery establishment
were destroyed. Insurance on the
burned property will amount to
about 1175,000.
W. II. Nedlson, a fireman, was
seriously injured by falling bricks.
Portsmouth and Berkeley, neighbor
ing towns, sent their fire apparatus,
else the loss would have been much
greater.

The liniment bottle and fiannt-l strip are
familiar objects ia nearly even- household.
They are the weapons that have been used for
generations to fight old Rheumatism, and are
about as effective in the battle with thi o-int-
disease as the blunderbuss of our
would be in modem warfare.
Rheumatism is raused bv an
condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irrittins matter that settles
in the joints, muscles and nen-es, and liniments and oils nor nothing
else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They
were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood.
Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and
pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every
change of the weather ; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system
are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured
until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly
and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream
exhilarating tonic. Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who
.write about their case, and we will send free our special book on Rheumatism
and its treatment THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, fia.
