BABY'G SMOOTH, FAIR

SCANDAL MONOKKS.
Once or twice during tbe past two
years, attention has been directed to
tbe fact that tbe Legislature of 1895
have found it necessary, in the inter
est of tbe State, to officially declare
the Democratic press of North Caro
lina to be a collective calumniator and
liar. The fact was quite well known
to the people living within State lines,
and therefore the action was taken .to
simply advise people living in other
States who might happen to read that
press that it wai false, fraudulent and
malicious in its course.
This action of the Legislature was
amply justified at tbe time (1805) and
since that time this same Democratic
press has pursued such a course as
can only give emphasis to what the
Legislature declared. There was some
hope and some little expectation that

The divisions of soils of the Agri

conducting some of the most inter

in charge of the division, is engaged
at present in the investigation of the
climatic conditions of moisture and
temperature in their relation to the
local distribution of crops. The work
has a scope as broad as the country.
It will eventually embrace all the
soils and staple crops, and in its re

when crops must be specialized un

of the utmost economic and practi

I had catarrh for five years; c;ot
so bad that I could not do a day's
work. I was so poor and weak that
my physicians could do me no god.
Seeing Dr. llartman'8 name in the
leading papers concerning catarrh
induced me to write to him. Ik
sent mo instructions how to cure
it. I got Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin,
and Improved more with every
bottle I took. My blood was in
sueh a bad condition that i .i!m
took one bottle of Iaru-pi-a. I
regained my usual weight and all
the symptoms of catarrh left me.
