Can You
Eat
anything you want ? Most people can
ntt. When you can't, its called "indi
j K-Stion," which develops "dyspepsia"

and dyspepsia. "Take it, eat what you
want and be happy."
CURED BY ONE BOTTLE.
I suffered for several months with indigestion
and ct uld scarcely cat anything without intense
; afterwards. I found no relief until
Coleman's (Juamutec" was recommended. I
, bought one bottle, and took it as directed, and
from the very first found relief, and by the time
I -had taken the first bottle was not only feeling
better, but was entirely cured."

to one's
lot means that one should sit
helplessly before sorrow and
disappointment while weeks and
months pass by, is a terrible
misapprehension. Life should
be growth. These trials come
to us that Ave may conquer
them, wrest power from them.
To yield faint-heartedly is sure
ly in noble, for their is no life
so barren, so hard or sorrowful
that does not hold some door to
wider living, if we will but
seek it.
"Is it loneliness that closes
about us and shuts joy from our
days? Have we tried honest!v
and patiently to touch other
lonely lives? Is it because we
have no time for study that life
seems so hard and barren? A
friend of working girls advised
them to learn a poem as they
went to and from their work in
stead of simply reading street
car advertisements. A verse, a
line of poetry, a single noble
thought every day—who of us
eouid not make time for this, if
we would. And how rich a
harvest one short year would
give us! Is it poverty that is
eating the gladness from our
days? It is hard; but there
are tilings within our reach
that no gold could buy for us—
friendship, the power of an up
right life, the joy of earth and
sky.
Dare we, with all we have
within reach, bemoan our pov
erty ?" —Exchange.

When the humming bird brays

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF
DIARRHOEA.
"About six years ago fot the
first time in my life I had a sud
den and severe attack of diar
rhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller,
of Morgan, Texas. "I got tem
porary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six
long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than I can
tell. It was worse than death.
My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians' prescrip
tions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque couuty. our present
home, and one day I happened
to see an advertisement of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with a testi
monial of a man who had been
cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I con
cluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. T could
hardly realize that I was well
again, or believe it could be so
after having suffered so long,
but that one bottle of medicine
costing but a few cepts, cured
me." For sale by Hofed & Gran

Republican
spiracy
Senator Simmons Exposes Their
"Scheme to the State Next
" Fall.
FEDERAL JUDICIARY TO
LEND ITS AID.
Washington, July 2.—Special |
—Chairman Simmons of the
Democratic State Committee
authorizes the following state
ment : ,
For some time past promi
nent North Carolina Republi
cans in Washington have been
intimating that their party
would control the next North
Carolina legislature and that
Senator Pritchard would be re
turned to the Senate. Demo
crats have been unable to un
derstand the grounds of this
hope in the face of the fact that
that party lost the State in the
August election in 1000 by
about sixty thousand majority,
and since that time has lost, by
the educational provision of the
amendment, between seventy
aud eighty thousand of its foi
liier voters.
The persistency with which
this claim was made aroused a
suspicion in my mind that it
was based upon some secret
scheme and led me to an inves
tigation with the view of ascer
tabling what it meant. As a
result of this investigation, I
have discovered a shrewdly de
vised and well developed con
spiracy.
- The scheme, briefly stated, is
to stir up and promote dissen- |
tions and independentism and ,
by raising the cry that the i
amendment has eliminated the
negro and freed the white man, j
to bring about during the early
stages of the campaign a hope- '
less division among Democrats, ,
and then on the eve of the elec- |
tion have the Federal Court set
aside tiie amendment. In this .
enterprise and in organizing (
the opposition forces, the con
spirators are to have unlimited j
money furnished them by the ,
National Republican Committee '
upon the promise of two, if not ,
three, Republican Congressmen
from the State and the reten* J
tion of the present Republican j
Senator.
In order to divide the Demo
crats, every local dissatisfaction
every local quarrel, every fan-
cied complaint and grievance
against the party and State ad
ministration, every disapoint- \
ment growing out of the nom
ination or defeat of candidates, J
is to be assidousiy nursed and (
fanned. The Democratic party j
is to be charged with hostility to j
certain interests aud with nomi
nating men to ofiice known to
be prejudiced against these in
terests, and conservative voters
are to be appealed to to resent j
this alleged assault and to cast
their votes against these objec- j
tionable candidates. It is ex
pected that the opposition to ;
Judge Clark's nomination will
start the bolt and that on ac
count of the unusual number
of Democratic candidates" this
year, defeated candidates all
over the State will be found
who' will be ready to hazard
their chances by allowing the :
use of their name.
On these lines our adversa
ries propose to open and for a
time conduct their campaign.
When the lines of battle have
been drawn and tightened,
when passion has been stirred
to white heat by the friction of
conflict, when alignments have
been made, and when it is be
lieved that the bolters have
gone so far that passion and ,
pride will not allow them to re
turn to their old associations,
as the day of electiou draws
near at hand the courts will be
asked to declare the amendment
unconstitutional and void.
Every detail to this end has
end has been carefully arrang
ed and the conspirators are con
fident there will be no hitch or
failure or delay in carrying the
program at any point. Between '
! the Ist and the sth of October a '
white man, who has failed to
nay his poll tax, will apply to a
Republican Federal Judge, who
has already been selected, for a
mandamus to compel the regis
trar to admit him to registra
tion. This judge will hold that
it is within the authority of the
State to make the payment of
poll tax a condition precedent
to the right to vote, but he will
also hold that the grandfather
clause is unconstitutional; and.
as the amendment provides
that the whole shall stand or
fall together, every part of the

To County Superintendents.
I enclose a printed list of
books adopted for use in the
public schools by the State
Text-Book Commission and of
prices and exchange prices of
these books. I desire to call
attention to the fact that the
use of these books in the pub
lic schools will be compulsory,
under the law, aft.pr July 1,
1902, and that, if old books now
in use are not exchanged be
fore that time, the exchange
prices, according to the con
tract entered into with the pub
lishers by the State-Book Com
mission, can not be taken ad
van take of by patrons of the
public schools. I wish to urge
you, therefore, to send written
official notice to all the teachers
in your county urging them to
notify all children and patrons
of their schools, and to give
notice to all the people of your
county through your county pa
per urging them to take ad
vantage of these exchange
prices before July 1, 1902- If
the patrons of the public schools
fail to avail themselves of these
low exchange prices before the
beginning of the next school
year, they will find themselves
under the hard necessity of be
ing compelled to buy new books
at the full price, and their old
books will be left as useless
property on their hands. This
would mean, of course, a great
loss to the people of the State
and a decided gain to the pub
lishers, Any book that has
been used or could have been
used by any child in the pub
lic schools of North Carolina
before July 1, 1902, may be ex
changed for a new book of like
grade upon the same subject at
the price quoted.
I send you under separate
cover 300 copies of this letter.
Send a copy to every teacher
and school committeeman.
Very truly yours,
