tbly dtfeudg the olantfer firtmtn
f tbe S.nie in the following con;.
meat, upon tbe bill introduced by
some hetrtleas mtmber of ihe Leg
islature :
"It is announced in our KaKigb

vices would be thankless, nngen.
erous, ungrateful and uncalled for.
The act which it is sought to re
peal provides "a fund for the relief
(only) of firemen who may be in
jured or rendered sick by diseast
contracted in the actual discbarge of
their duty and sworn to by the at
tending physician." The fund set
aside annually for this purpose if
only $2,500 and does not com from

t). nenlh the considera ion of a rea

The fifetutn are organiz d in'f
the "North Crolina State Firemou'e
Asoooiation," composed of whites,
ind the "State Volunteer Firemeti's
Association," colored, and they act
in perfect harmony. No politics,
no color, or sect Is known in the
ranks. They work toge'her as one
at fires. No discrimination is made
uetuei-n them at fires, and no dis
crimination is ma le lu the distnbn
tion of the fond. In Wi'wngton
we had 140 alarms of fire last year,
and tbe work and efficiency of tbe
Qremen bas been greatly appreciated
Tbey eaved a great d?al of proper'y

they are made sick or injuted then
is ODe member of the Legislature
who wants to say they cannot re
ceive a benefit. What is said of
Wilmington can no doubt be said of
svery city where there is an orgau
izfd fire department.
Captain James I) McNeil, of Fay

Newman, of Wilmington, obairman
of the legislative commit'ee, of the
IN .rth Carolina Firdnen's Associa
ioti, and Pn sidi'nt Valentine IIowo,
f the colored association, will no
doubt go to Kaleieh to uppose the
hill."
Every newspaptr and every citi
zen of the State should be inter
es'ed in this matter aud try lo pre
vent any measure to slop such an
appropriation. Men who compote
tbe fire companies of our town are
not property owners, and in case a
member is ic jured at a fire wbil
risking bn own life nd heroically
laboring for the welfare of others,
this appropriation is ouly a just
i-em of fipjior fir his fnni'lv

ced that Mr. Pritchard was elected,

1903. Ha made the declaration for
himself and Speaker Hileman"
Great and prolonged applause fol
lowed. Senator Pritchard was escorted to
the stage and addressed tie Asfeetn
bly, followed by Governor Russjll
and ilieu by Hon. Harry Skinnor,
Who said the proceeding were not
orderly, that only Piitchard should
bo beard from ; that each branch,
should, after his acknowledgement,
elc, retire to its chamber. Yet
Skinner went ou to speak, paying
this had been a wonderful campaign;
that he had done what he thought
best for tbe Populist cause and the
cause of free coinage. He said tbe
election of a Senator at this time
really meant nothing more than the
election of an ordinary Congress
man ; that tbe Senate committee
hd been already reorgnuin d by
I k' U -publican party. How can a
Republican pledged to free silver
nurt the Populist par'y or the came
if free silver? He declared those
P.ipn i i.-jt.M who voted for Pritchard
'in.J done the bet deed ever done
fur Hie Pugilist mrty and tb.
.nurt i'f humanity. He deried tin t
it would disintegrate the Pupiiiiet
party ; that tuo latter might nol

mid been purely in Populist inter-
WARNING.
We wisli to caution all users of Simmons
Liver Regulator on a sutiject of the deepest
interest and importanro to their health
perhaps their livoa. The sole proprietors
ami makers of Simmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers aro often deceived by
buying and taking somo medicine of a
similar appearam o or ta.te, believing it to
be Simmons Livr Kenlator. We warn
you that unless tlw word Regulator is on
the paekagfl or bottle, lhat it is not Simmons
Livor Keiiulalor. No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Keulator.or
anything rilled Siiuuum Liver Regulator,
but J. If. ZeiHn ,t Co., and no iiiedicine made
by anyone e n.1 is the san.j. We alone can
put it up, and we cannot he responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
will. liearthis fact well m mind, if you have
been in the habit of using a medicine which
yousupposedto be Simmons Liver Regula
tor, because the name was somewhat like
it, and the package die! not have tho word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. The Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know bow necessary it is for
Fever and Ague. Bilious Fever, Constipa
tion, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from a Diseased Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red Z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
wediciue calltd Siiiimons Liver Regulator.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
ft, aud he wanted a legislative
committee to examine his actions
and his motives; that Pritcharl
was under no obligation to him,
but that he (Skinner) was simp'v
paying a dfbt due the Republican
patty. He said the Republicans
ought to be given absolute power
to hring prosperity to the people,
and if they did be would applaud
them; but if tbey failed ibe Repub
lican party must go down as the
Democratic party has gone down.
Tbeu on tbe ruins tbe Populitd
party will rise. He said the man
taken was from tbe Republican
party, a parly considered immortal
to Populism, but yet the Populist
party bad bound him to its cause.
He paid if in four years protection

would walk out of tbe next national
