It is not a noisy campaign the
several aspirants for the nomi
nation for Congress in the
Sixth District are seeking to
arouse. Their supporters, too, |
are pi en >mally quiet. It may {
be that the work is over.
Nothing cau now be clone for
ihere is nothing left to be done.
At least no tintraversed ground
can be found. What the still
ness signifies is today, neverthe
less, to be a mystery. Does it
mean the stillness that often
precedes the terriffic storm
cloud? Or does it mean that
there is a strong inner consci
ousness that the people have
formed a fixed purpose that
will make the action of the con
vention almost a mere form—
an action quick and decisive.
We can make no prediction It
is a clever and honorable bevy
of gentlemen whose names will
be presenttd for the nomina
tion. He who bears off the
honor will decently and accep
tably represent the district in
Congress. There is no occasion
therefore to lie awake all night
and consume our strength with
anxiety over the result before
hand.—Robesonian.
The reason a Hammock is so
fascinating for two is that it is

DYSENTERY CURED WITHOUT
THE AID OF A DOCTOR.
"I am jlist up from a hard
spell of the flux" (dysentery)
says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well
known merchant of Drummond
Tenn. "I used one bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and
was cured without having a
doctor. I consider it the best
cholera medicine in the world."
There is no need of employing
a doctor when this remedy is
used, for no doctor can pre
scribe a better remedy for bowel
complaint in any form either
for children or adults. It never
tails and is pleasant to take.

Major Hale the Most Suitable
Man.
To the Democrats of the Sixth
District:
We, the undersigned, citizens
of Fayetlville and Cumberland,
respectfully present to you the
name of Edward J. Hale as the
most suitable person who could
be chosen to represent this Dis
trict in Congress, and we earn
estly urge that you nominate
him at the approaching conven
tion to be held in this city.
His election would recall the
best traditions of North Caroli
na at Washington. He has
hud a distinguished career—at
:he University, in the Confed
erate Army, and in the Foreign
service of the Government.
Though never before seekiug
the suffrage of the people for
office with pay attached to it,
he has been repeatedly honored
by Democratic State Conven
tious with positions of high
party trust, receiving in the
great convention of 1000 the
largest vote ever given in a
Democratic convention in
North Carolina. But the
ground uuon which we make
this appeal is the proposition
that deep water in the Cape
Fear up to Fayetteville is of
paramount importance to this
community ancl secrion, ai.d
that, as Major Hale was the
originator of that idea and
movement and the successful
leader of the fight for it up to
this point, he is best fitted to
promote its accomplishment iu
Congress.

His DISTINGUISHED CAREER.
| From the "Southern Publish
er," for July, 1899. Compiled
from History of Lane's Brigade
and tho files of the State Depart
ment at Washington.]
Edward J, Hale was born
near Fayetteville, N. C., on
December 25, 1899. He was
graduated from the University
of North Carolina in 18G0. with
the first.distinction, delivering
also the valedictory. Being de
signed by his father for a politi
cal career he took the Univer
sity's special course in constitu
tional and international law.
In October, 1800, he became as
sociated with his father and
brother, the late Maj. P. M.
Ilale, as one of the editors and
proprietors of the Observer, and
was carried on its rolls as such
until the destruction of its office
and plant by General Sherman
in 1865.
The day after Lincoln's proc
lamation he volunteered as a
private soldier in the Fciyette
ville Independent Light Infa l
try, though offered a commis-j
sion dy the Military Secretary
of North Carolina.
In this company, which was
• a part of D. H. Hill's First
| North Carolina regiment, he
i first saw service at Bethel June
10th, 1861. On this occasion,

he left the hospital at York- i
town in order to join the move
ment of his regiment to the
front. After the disbandment
of that regimeut he was ap
pointed by Governor Clark, a
second Lieutenant of North
Carolina troops. On the 31st of
July, 1862, he was appointed
first lieutenant and adjutant of
the Fifty-sixth regiment, Ran
som's Brigade. He was soon
after offered the position of
private secretary by Governor
Vance, but thought it his duty
to remain in the field. In Jan- '
uary, 1863, he was appointed ,
by General Longstreet judge
advocate of his department ,
court martial.
Shortly after this he was
offered by General Pender the
position of commissionary on
his staff, with the rank of Major
but this he declined, prefering
to remain in the fighting part of
the staff. In October, 1863, he
was promoted by President
Davis to the position of assis
tant adjutant and inspector gen
eral of the arni3% with rank of
captain and assigned to duty
with Lane's Brigade. Upon
the close of the campaign of
1864 the major commanded the
Twenty eighth regimeut of
Lane's Brigade and the
rest of the officers present
petitioned the President for his
appointment as their colouel.
lie was also recommended for
this positiou for "conspicuous
merit and gallantry" in many
specified battles by Brigadier
General Lane, Major General
Wilcox and Lieutenant General
A. P. Hill, but the technical dif
ficulty that he was uot a mem
ber of the regiment delayed mat
ters until too late for action be
fore the war ciosed. lie was,
however, promoted by the Pres
ident to be major aud assistant
adjutant and inspector general
shortly before the surrender.
During General Lane's absence
from wounds in 1863 he com
manded Lane's Brigade in a
number of engagements, nota
bly the victorious assaults of
that brigade at Fussell's Mills
and Ream's Station. After the
former battle he received the
thanks of the engineer in chief
of Lee's army (General Steveus)
for his skillful alteration of sev
eial miles of the defensive work
of Richmond. General Lane
in his history, in his splendid
attribute to Adjutant General
Ilale, from which the foregoing
details are abbreviated, recites
many instances of the latter's
extraordinary courage, cooluess
and genious for war. Among
those is the declaration that he
did an act of battery 45, on the
2nd of of April, 1865, that was
more courageous, as well as
more important, than that which
made Jasper famous. He sur
rendered with Laue's Brigade at
Appomattox.
After the war, having lost his
fortune, lie sought business
in New York, where he
1 speedily rose to be partner
in a large wholesale
house. Failing health, conse
quent upon his service in the
> war, sent him to Western North
, Carolina in 1875, where he re
