Crusade Against Kissing.
Dr. J. L. Taylor, of Philadel
phia, Pa., has recently started
a crusade against kissing,
which he declares to be one of
he chief factors of the present
lay in the spread of contagious
diseases.
Of course this contention is
in no wise new or startling, but
it will be given increased em
phasis by reason of the circum
stances under which it is re
affirmed at this time. l)r.
Taylor is one of the members
of the Philadelphia board of
health and is well known in
professional circles throughout
the north and east. Speaking
with special reference to con
sumption, Dr. Taylor says that
tuberculosis germs are frequent
ly communicated from one per
son to another in kissing, and
he advises people who wish to
•;njoy good health to proceed
cautiously in using this sign of
affectionate endearment.
Dr. Taylor disclaims any de
sire whatever to subtract from
the sum of human happiness bv
making war on love's favorite
token, but he contends that the
welfare of the race will be best
subserved by exercising the
habit with extreme caution and
reserve* —Atiwt> -Coastitutioai
[ his friends not to vote for him.
Mr. Lane moved that Mr. Hol
liday's nomination be made
unanimous, which was done.
Mr. W. A. Stewart put the
name of Mr. V. L. Stephens
before the convention which
met with a second from Mr.
James Pearsall. His nomina
tion was made by acclamation.

For Lunatics to Read.
(Jacksonville, 111., Dispatch to the Bal
timore Sun.)
I The Lunatic Herald, a new
paper issued here by Gen. A. B.
Leeper, who declares "it is no
disgrace to have gone crazy,"
is bound to create lively inter
est in its bold plunge into the
journalistic sea.
The oaitor admits that he is
a lunatic, and states that the
object of his paper is to promote
the interests of asylum inmates.
Its first number bears date of
April, 1901, and the first article
begins in this bieezv way :
"Gen. A. B. Leeper of Owan
eco, 111., U. S. A., the man
who put down the
also the man who has the best
record as a first-class lunatic of
any man in the State or nation
perhaps, having been declared
insane three different times,
and served fivo different times
in the Illinois Central Hospital
for Insane at Jacksonville,lll.,in
the last three years, and expects
to take a post-graduate course ;
the man who has been lied
on and misrepsented more than
any man or woman on earth,
except St. Paul and Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy ; and probably
the only man in the United
States having two conservators
at the same time, besides one
ex-conservator, all living and
doing well, has established a
two-column, 32-page handsome
ly illustrated international hu
manitarian monthly magazine,
known as The Lunatic Herald,
owned, edited and controlled
exclusively by a chronic lunatic,
and devoted to the interest of
that most fortunate (?) or un
fortunate (?) class of people
who are inmates of the various
hospitals for insane, both pub
lic and private, throughout the
civilized world ; also to secure
amendments to the lunacy laws
of the various States, many of
which are imperfect, and also to
counteract the prevailing senti
ment that it is a disgrace to
have gone crazy or been an in
mate of a hospital for insane.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
AN INGENIOUS TREATMENT lIV
WHICH DRUNKARDS ARE BE
ING CURED DAILY IN
SPITE OF THEMSELVES.
No Noxious Doses. No Weak
ening of the Nerves. A
Pleasant and Positive
Cure for the Liquor
Habit.
It is now generally known
and understood that Drunken
ness is a disease and not weak
ness. A body filled with poison
and nerves completely shattered
by periodical or constant use
of intoxicating liquors, "re
quires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating
this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoxicants. Suf
ferers may now cure themselves
at home without publicity or
loss of time from business by
this wonderful "HOME GOLD
CURE" which has been per
fected after many years of close
study and treatment of inebri
ates. The faithful use accord
ing to directions of this won
derful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most
obstinate case, no matter how
hard the drinker. Our records
show the marvelous transfor
mation of thousands of Drunk
ars into sober, industrious and
upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUS
BANDS!! CHILDREN CURE
YOUR FATHERS!! This
remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully de
vised and prepared that it is
thoroughly soluble and pleasant
to the taste, so that it can be
given in a cup of tea or coffee
without the knowledge of the
person taking it. Thousands
of Drunkards have cured them
selves with this priceless reme
dy, and as many more have
been cured and made temper
ate men by having the "CURE"
administered by loving friends
and relatives without their
knowledge in cofl'ee or tea, and
believe today that they discon
tinued drinking of their own
free will. DO NOT WAIT.
Do not be deluded by apparent
and misleading "improve
ment." Drive out the disease
at once and for all time. The
"HOME GOLD CURE" is sold
at the extremely low price of

A Wait From Geo. H. White.
Washington, April 16.—Geo.
H. White, the last of his race
in Congress, has his lightning
rod up for a government job.
He went to see the President
to-day about it as he is impa
tient in being off the pay roll of
Uncle Sam. "I have not de
cided yet what I shall do in the
future," he said, "Perhaps I
may practice law in New York
or Washington, as I have sever
al offers. I shall not make up
my mind, however, until after
the constitutional amendmend
that disfranchises the negro in
North Carolina shall be finally
passed upon by the courts. If
it is decided to be constitutional
I shall give up my residence in
North Carolina. I cauDOt bring
myself to live louger where I
will be a man marked and perse
cuted for my color.
\'The constitutional amend
ment in North Carolina is not
aimed at the illiterate and vi
cious element of our race. It
is framed to kill off the negroes
who try to make something of
themselves; those who try to
enjoy the rights and privileges
that our constitution is sup
posed to guarantee to all law
abiding citizens, regardless of
color. I paid a visit to my old
home the other day and found
that there were few Republi
cans left down there. Many of
those who formerly voted the
Republican ticket have become
Democrats rather than suffer
social ostracism or be shot down
in their tracks."
There is a vacancy on the
Supreme Court of the District
and among others who are
looked upon as applicants for
the place is former Congress
man Linney.—Special to Char

Death of Mr. W. H. West.
On Tuesday morning April
9th Mr. W. H. West ched at his
home in Mingo township Samp
son county. He was born Dec.
13th 1823 and died April 9th
1901, age 77 years, 3 mos. 26
days. He had not been in the
best of health for several years.
But he had not had any serious
illness prior to his death. He
worked up until the last day,
and the day prior to his death
he was as well as usual. After
tending to his domestic affairs
in the evening and eating his
supper he retired to his room
for rest, having told his family
that he was tired and would
rest. He was heard to get up
sometime during the night and
walk across the house, but was
not heard to make any unusual
compfaint. On waking next
morning, the family thinking it
an unusual late hour for him
to be sleeping and on going to
the room his daughter found
him lying across the bed dead, as
if he had gotten up and dressed
himself ready to take his morn
ing exercise and set down on
the edge of the bed to rest,
when from all appearances he
fell back across the bed and God
claimed him as his own. He
was a sufferer of Asthma and
heart trouble.
Mr. West was a native of
Sampson county, in which he
had lived a peaceable and quiet
life, always ready to help and
accommodate his friends and
neighbors in health as well as
in sickness. While he was not
a member of any church he had
religious tendencies and a short
time before his death expressed
a desire to connect himself with
the Primitive Baptist church
and a good hope and a willing
ness to meet God. The funeral
was prepared, but owing to the
illness of the minister (Elder
Lundy Lee) it was omitted.
Mr. West was twice married
and by his first wife he had
seven children, four of which
are now living. By his last
wife there were two children
both of which are living. He
leaves thus a wife and six
children and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn his death.
In their sorrow may they re
member that the same kind
hand that cares for the lilies
and sparrows will care for them
also.
B
He Kept Bis Leg.
Twelve years ago J. W. Sul
livan, of Hartford, Conn.,
scratched his leg with a rusty
wire. Inflamation and blood
poisoning set in. For two years
•he suffered intensely. Then
the best doctors urged amputa
tion, "but," he writes, "I used
one bottle of Electric Bitters
and 1± boxes of Bucklen's Ar
nica Salve and my leg was
sound and well as ever." For
Eruptions, Eczema, Tetter,
Salt Rheum, Sores and all
blood disorders Electric Bitters
