THE CHARLOTTE NEWotai 15,. m "Excellent Tonic" MRS. S. A. WEIR, 827 W. 15th St, Pueblo, CoL Feruna is an excellent tonlo for t-? weakness that follows grip. If fvenbody could have a bottle or two v,f reruna after they have had grip they would get well a great deal teener than, they usually do. There is no better medietas In tr-.e world for colds and grip than reruna. One bottle did more to re lieve rr.e of a bad cold and case of prlp than any remedies that I have over taken. Other things being equal, the ready - to - take medicine is the cheaper. On this phase of the sub ject Mrs. Weir says: I am a widow with a very small Income, and have to look to every ver.ny very closely. Under these circumstances your medicine Is a godsend to me. One bottle of Peruna has accomplished for .me more than an expensive course of treatment of ;iv.y other sort. Of this I feel sure. As a matter of economy "every one ought to. have a bottle of Peruna in th house." "I Speak from Experience" Registration Books Close Tomorrow Who Can Vote on Saturday The hours of the primary to be ield next Saturday will be from 2 to p. m. in the county outside of Charlotte, Matthews, Huntensville, 'inovillo, Cornelius and Davidson. In hese places the polls will be open rem 2 p. m. to S p. m. It is deemed accessary to hold the polling places .-spen to 8 o"clock in the Charlotte pre cincts and in the precincts in the incorporated towns mentioned above, as there are many voters in those rlace?, especially in Charlotte, who do not get off from work until nearly S o'clock. In view of the fact that there has been fome misunderstand ing as to the hours of the primary, Chairman Hamilton C. Jones, of the democratic executive committee, calls special attention to them. The "last call for registration for Saturday's primary is today and to morrow. The registration books will close tomorrow, (Thursday) at sun down. All who have not had their cames properly entered on the books '.n their homo precinct by that Jlme Rill be debarred from exercising the franchise on Saturday. . Chairman Jontn, of the county dem ocratic executive committee, also talis attention to the fact that fail ure to pay poll tax in 1913 will be no bar to voting in thep rimary Satur day, but will be a tar to voting in Lhe general election next fall. He states that there has been an inv r.ression over the county that one can ote in the primary if he had not paid his poll tax for 1913. It is said, aowever, that had the rule been to debar all from the primary who had not paid the tax for 1913, it would uot materially cut down the voting strensth in Saturday's primary, as the rreat majority of citizens have already attended to this duty. Pictures of Baraca- Philathea Meeting Moving pictures of the annual Ba-raca-Philathea Union meeting at Dur ham are being shown again today at the Princess theater on West Trade street. They were made by Mr. F. L. Plaisance of this city, and were shown there a few days after the ad journment of the union, where they v.ere witnessed by hundreds of peo ple. There have been so many re quests for them to be shown again, however, that Manager Powell has de cided to answer the request. The pic tures include the annual big parade through the streets of Durham, which was a very spectacular event. 1 think it better to have two strings to my bow. Terence. DRAWN UP IN A KNOT WALKING Peculiar Was in Which Lady Had to Walk and How Eas ily She Was Straight ened Out. Laurel Hill, Fla. The following tdvices from this town tell in detail if Mrs. Nellie Moore's peculiar condl :ion. "About three months ago, I was taken down with terrible cramps. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but slowly and surely I got worse until I could hardly walk, and I had to go drawn up in a knot, when I did walk. My husband got me some medicine, but it did me no good. I- suffered that way for a week. Finally, a motherly :-ld lady told me to get a bottle of Jardui, the woman's tonic, and I knew t was a good medicine from the start. I took it according to directions, and in a short while I felt like a new per son. Cardui is like a dear friend to come and talke hold and do women's tire acme work, such as washing. Ironing, sweeping, or sewing, I take a dose of Cardui and it seems to go to all my iching places and relieves me almost instantly. I advise all suffering women to give Cardui a trial. It will do wonders for hem." Give Cardui a trial for your trou bles. It has helpued over a million vocien in the past 50 years. Why not J on?

Instead of the 300 manufacturers, Jobbers, merchants and professional men of Charlotte who were expected to make the trip, vfi oUn tbat 373 made It. The Norfolk-Southern officials, anticipating that there might be more people to make the trip than had expressed in tention of doing so, had furnished a tram of seven passenger cars at the Sixth street station. So that all the o.3 passengers who left Charlotte and a number of visitors who were picked up along the way were accom modate with comfort. The Charlotteans met with a most cordial reception at every one of the thirteen stations they stopped at be tween Charlotte and Star. At many places the welcome was an official one, the city officials laying aside their duties and extending to the visitors from Charlotte expressions of wel come and appreciation. At Ridgeview, the first stop made, there was a crowd of people to greet the emissaries from Charlotte, many of them being ladies. They were addressed on behalf of the Charlotte folk by Mr. Joe Garibaldi, who ex plained the purpose of the trip yester day as one intended to bring the peo ple of Charlotte and the people along the Norfolk-Southern line into closer relationship. lie told them to buy goods from their home market, in so far as they could do so. and to come to Charlotte for tne goods they couldn't get at home. This exhorta tion was the basis of the remarks made by the Charlotte speakers to all the people along the route. At Wilgrove the train stopped for a few minutes, while representatives of Charlotte business houses distributed literature and information , regarding the firms they were connected with. At Allen, the last stop before leaving Mecklenburg county soil. President C. C. Hook of the Greater Charlotte Club, made a short talk to the people assembled and urged them to come to Charlotte for the goods they could not get at home. Mr. Thomas Allen, one of the leading spirits of the .commun ity about Allen station and vicinity, boarded the train and made the trip on to Star and back with the Char lotte party. Both at Cabarrus and Midland good sized crowds gathered at the stations and welcomed the Charlotteans. At Stanfield the welcome was expressed in the substantial terms of ice cold lemonade. The visitors were invited to the store of H. D. Crayton & Com pany, where the refreshments were on tap, and while there was hardly enough of the fluid to serve the 375 people aboard the train the evidence of hospitality was accepted in the gracious spirit that prompted It. Here Mayor Bland made a short address to the people asembled, urging them to buy goods at home, as far as the home merchant was able to furnish them and to come to Charlotte for those they could not obtain at home. It was the desire of the Charlotte business people, Mayor Bland explained, to co operate with them in building up their community and to secure their aid in building up this entire section, thereby building up the state. At Oakboro, Mt. Gilead, Norwood and Troy, the larger towns on the route, the visitors were, accorded a warm welcome by the town officials and citizens. At Oakboro the com mercial club of that thriving munici pality had prepared against the com ing of the Charlotte folks several tubs of ice-cool, refreshing lemonade, which the visitors partook of and showed their appreciation by three rousing i cheers for Oakboro and its commercial club. After partaking of the lemon-; ade the Charlotte delegation formed and marched through the town. A short stop was made at Aquadale, ! where the stores were visited and everybody's hand was shaken that showed himself. Norwood was the noon stop of the party. Here the Charlotte visitors were welcomed in the handsome new high school build ing," to which the delegation marched. Mayor T. W. Hunter first made a wel coming address and then introduced Mr. J. I. Campbell, who also made a very appropriate welcoming address. Mavor Bland, Mr. C. O. Kuester, Mr. Joe" Garibaldi, Mr. C. C. Hook and Mr. Robert Glasgow responded to the addresses on behalf of the Charlotte delegation. ; Mt. Gilead. Mount Gilead a dozen or more automobiles were awaiting the Char lotte visitors at the station. The machiDes were filled with all they would hold of the Charlotte folks and the others formed in line and march ed to the center of the town where the speaking took place. The parade was headed by Mayor John A. Lisk, who wore the .uniform of a captain in the Confederate army. He was of that rank in the Southern army ot the sixties and is the only man liv ing who served as pall bearer at Stonewall Jackson's funeral. He and Mayor Bland, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes posed for a picture. A tremendous crowd greeted the Char lotte delegation. Speeches were made by Mayor Lisk and other Mount Gi lead citizens and responses were made by Mayor Bland - and other Charlotteans. At Troy. At Troy another big crowd wel comed the Charlotte party, which marched to the court house. A wel coming address was made here by Mayor Hurley and was responded to by Mayor Bland and others from Charlotte. The mills and business houses were closed down in honor ot the Charlotte visitors and they were given a royal welcome. At Star. At the last stop, Star, a cordial welcome was also extended. The speakers -were Mayor Morris and Prof. Greene for Star, and Messrs. F. C. Abbott, and C. O. Kuester, for Charlotte. By the time the train ar rived at Star the number of passen gers had been increased by additions along the route until the entire party numbered nearly four hundred. 1 Uneeda Biscuit A crisp, clean, nutri tious food.

At every point along the route a cordial invitation was extended tc the people to come to Charlotte and stay during the. week of the Twen tieth, and it is likely that a large majority of them will accept the invitation. J Cigars Presented. At Star a pleasing incident took place. Engineer Davis and Conductor Chestnutt, who had conducted the special train to that point were called forward and each presented with a box of cigars by the Charlotte delega tion as a token of appreciation tor the way they had handled the train. Mayor Bland presented the cigars to Engineer Davis and Mr. W. S. Dorr did th? like duty toward Conductor Chesnuit. Accompanying the Charlotte delega tion on the trip were the following Norfolk Southern officials: Col. H. S. Leard, general passenger agent. C. WV Akers, general superintend ent. E. D. Kyle, traffic manager. J. F. Mitchell, traveling passenger agent. George B. Underwood and L. B. Johnson, commercial agents. W. R. Pennal, master mechanic. J. K. Powell, Charlotte, agent. Coulton Cobb, fireman. J. W. Murray, flagman. John Evans, porter. The Norfolk Southern officials were tireless in their efforts to provide for the comfort of ' the passengers, and a hand primary taken of the party would have said unanimously that they succeeded well in their task. Among the Charlotte party who ad dressed the people at various points along the route were Mayor Bland, C. O. Kuester, C. C. Hook, R. Kent Blair, John S. Blake, F. C. Abbott, W. s. Dorr, J. W. Lewis, C. W. Akers, Judge Little, David Shaw, Joe Garibaldi, Robert Glasgow, Dr. George Dennis, Ben Pillow and others. The Steel Creek band, under the di rection ; of Capt. R. C.

It Is Just natural To Admire Babies Our altrustic nature impels love for the cooing infant. And at the same time the subject of motherhood is ever before us. To know what to do that will add to the physical comfort of expectant motherhood is a sub joat that has inter ested most women of all timea One of the -real helpful things is an external abdominal application sold in most drug stores under the name of "Mother's Friend." We have known so many grand mothers, who in their younger days relied upon this remedy, and who recom mend it to their , own daughters that it certainly must be what its name indi cates. They have used it for its direct influence upon the muscles, cords, liga ments and tendons as it aims to afford relief from the strain and pain so often unnecessarily severe during the period of expectancy. A little book mailed by Bradfield Regu lator Co., 305 Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., refers lo many things that women like to read about. It refers not only to the relief from muscle strain due to their expansion but also to nausea, morning sicknes?. caking of breasts and many i1 'tresses. Real Good Dentistry at Living Prices.

A CURIOUS SITUATION. delivery and the increase in receipts is taking care of the increase in ex pense. This is one city convenience that Lumberton could have racked along without cheerfully, but those who were keen for it had not figured out what it would cost. The laugh is on those who clamored for it as a right since the town's postoffice receipts had reached the required amount. And we are .not denying that The Robe sonian is one of the guilty ones.

I Many people in Lumberton who' clamored for free delivery of mail and cussed the postoffice department out for that it was slow about putting it, on are now sorry they got it. It is one cf those town conveniences you have . to -pay for all the while. The other , day a man went to the postoffice with a big batch of letters for town de livery and put on each letter a one-, cent stamp. When told he would have, to put a two-cent stamp on each letter, he came near fainting. "Great guns,", he said, "aint there no way to stop this free delivery? Don't you reckon the government would call it off if we'd get up a petition and have every body sign it?" Assistant Postmaster R. O. Edmund, to whom this disgust ed . citizen was talking, laughed and reckoned not; he reckoned that now that the town has got what it thought it wanted it would have to keep it. j So.
