These facts need no comment They tell their own tale and Fpcak in tender tones of the glorious era of Democratic rule." . In its h.story cf the educational and benevolent institutions of North Carolina, under the twp parties, the Handbook unfolds a tale of hor ror that must, rouse, the ire of every Carolinian that has -a" spark of patriotism or a vestige of self re spect, and cart look above a piece of pie. Listen: I he Democratic Legislature of 1877 proceeded to establish the De partment cf Agricultnre. The Farmers needed jus-t the kind of information and help that the de: pai tment was aole to give. It purchased for the State a vulu able piece of property adjacent to the captol Square and erected there . on the finest buildings to be found anywhere in the South. It led to tht establifehment of the Agricul-I -tural and Mechanical College. Anil yet what has Republican Populist fusion done? To what base nses have they put this Farm era Department! They have put John It Smith in charge of it, and have made of it a sort of manure through the winter? If so, we are sure it quieted your cough, healed the rawness . in your throat, increased your weight, gave you more color, and made you feel better in every way. out perhaps your cough has come back again, or you are get ting a little thin, and pale. . Then, why not continue the same, helpful remedy right through the summer? It will do you as much good as when the weather is cold. Its persistent use will certainly give you a better appetite and a stronger digestion. It will' cure your weak throat and heal your inflamed lungs. It will cure every case of consumption, when a cure is possible. Don't be persuaded to take something they say is just as.good. All Druggists, i, pc. and i. .Cbcnxst. NV. and honor.
