Contagious Blood Poison has been ap- iropriately called the curse of mankind, t is the one disease that physicians can not cure; their mercurial and potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth in a more virulent form, resulting in a total wreck of the system. Mr. Frank B. Martin, a prominent jeweler at 926 Pensylvania Ave., Wash- ingion,u.u.lsays: I was for a long time under treat ment of two - of the best phvsi- of blood poison, but my condition grew worse all the while, not- The Democratic Club at Asheville has been reorganized with nearly 1,000 members.

I had tried various treatments, and was nearly dis couraged, when a friend recommended S.S.S.

Asheville Citizen: While . blasting was being done on Depot street yes terday by the sewer force under Pen niman & Kelly a rock weighing more than one hundred pounds was hurled through the roof of the house occupied by A. C. Roberts. In falling the stone broke through two rafters and two heavy joists and fell upon a bed, break ing, several slats.. No one was in the house at the time the blasting was done. A small stone also fell on the house this morning while the blasting was in progress, but no damage was done. The stones were thrown from the sewer line, a distance of about fifty yards. "The Pearson revival will close this week," says The Bristol, Va., News, ed itorially. "The attendance has been large, the spacious tent having been crowded every night. Mr. Pearson has made a good impression. His sermons have been plain gospel ones, and in his presentation of them he has been very earnest and impressive, without being ostentatious. He has awakened a gen uine religious feeling in our midst, and the excellent work he had done will, we believe, be of lasting benefit to our people. Everybody will be sorry to see him leave, and should he return at some future time. Bristol will receive him with open arms." Warrenton Gazette: There was quite a little excitement here on Monday over an elopement case. Tn days ago a German and his wife and another Ger man located on the Brown tract at Vaughan, and on Monday the single mah stole the other's wife and eloped, the last seen of them being at Ridge way. The woman- was unusually hand some and was about twenty-five years old and is said to possess considerable means. The couple had been married a month and had never seen the other man until after marriage. Captain Shell says he got up the other morn ing and cut a cord of stove woodi milk ed his cow and worked three squares in his garden before breakfast, but it pushed him so he did not have time 'to wash his face. His breakfast hour is- 6 o'clock. Winston Republican: Folks like to be humbugged. At any rate the gen eral public seem powerfully easily dtfped by slick-tongued sharpers. The "other day a fellow landed in this city and began to offer for sale a medicated soap. Each cake was wrapped in tin foil and had a small red paper Dana around it, and smelled as sweet as a Winston dude at a Twin-City club re ception. By the printed label the soap was guaranteed to relieve or cure any ailment from the falling out of the hair down to in-growing toe-nails. The price was two cakes for a quarter. At court in an adjacent county his sales amounted to $18 in sne day. The soap he bought of a Winston mercantile broker at $1.60 a gross. Cutting the same in two he made 288 cakes which he sold at 12 cents a cake, realizing just $36 for his deal, less $1.60, the orig inal cost of the soap. This is a fact and no fooling. Those who bought the soap got fooled. Kinston Free Press: We are glad to learn that the New Bern fair is now on a more solid financial basis than at any time in its history. The entire floating indebtedness has been liqui dated. The directors are fully deter mined that the exhibition next yer shall eclipse any of its predecessors. Mr. R. E. Rhem, who lives in South West township, lost his kitchen by fire yesterday morning about 12:30 o'clock. It is not known how it start ed. The loss was about $40; no in surance. Mr. Rhem was fortunate to save his residence, which was only ten feet from the kitchen.- The prompt suppression of the negro mob at Eliza beth City a few days ago was due to that city having a battalion of naval reserves, otherwise there might have been much bloodshed. Kinston has a fine battalion of naval reserves, and that organization deserves the help and encouragement of our people.- Now the Scotland Neck people are try ing to get the proposed Snow-Hill rail road. Representatives from Scotland Neck went to Tarboro and held a meet ing with business men of that town to try to get a road from snow ttui oy way of Farmville, Crisp, Tarboro and Scotland Neck to the Roanoke river and to connect with the Seaboard rail road. So the proposition, we believe, of these people, is to build from Golds boro nearly to the Virginia line. It would make a long road and would be parallelled closely almost its entire length pn both sides by otner roaas, and we do not see how it could be made to pay, Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER WILMINGTON MARKETS.

Private crop ac counts were of an unfavorable tenor to day and some life was Installed into the cotton market. Liverpool was Inclined to react and cabled us an advance this morning of l-64d to iV4-64d. The market here opened 4 to 6 points higher. It eased for a moment after the opening1, but the less encouraging news from the south induced some covering of shorts and New Orleans bought here freely. As a result prices shot upwards, the market ad vancing 6 points In a very short time. The demand, however, was soon supplied and "when the government weekly crop bulletin, which reported an excellent out-? look In Texas and a fair outlook else where, was announced, free selling ensued and almost the entire advance was lost. August opened at 7.18,- declined to 7.16. ad vanced to 7.22, declined to 7.17 and closed at 7.18 to 7.19, with the tone of the market steady. The government bulletin was not in our opinion sufficiently favorable to warrant short sales. The market will probably go lower,- but there must be a decided improvement in the reports from the south to compass any serious decline. RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, May 25. The cotton market was helped by a better class of cable news than had been, expected and the first call developed a steady feeling with an advanc of 3 to 5 paints on th general list. There was a further adva?- - of 2 to 6 points on covering, with r-'lers scarce, after which the market partially reacted under renewed selling, following generally favorable private and public accounts regarding the process of the crop and weather conditions. Through out the session, however, the market maintained a fairly firm undertone, being supponea Dy mcreasea strength in the spot cotton department locally as well as at southern points of accummulation Selling was also checked by somewhat conflicting reports regarding too much cool weather in the south. Several at tempts were made to break the market without much success. The close was steady at an advance, of 3 to 6 points. PUBLIC OPINION. FNANCIAL. NTw Tnrk. Mav 25.

The New York Stock Market, New York. May 25. There was more animation in the dealings on the stock exchange today than for many weeks past and some buying by commission house agents gave evidence of a slight awaken ing of outside interest in the markets. Sales for the day reached an aggregate of over 200,000 shares and were much better distributed through the list than has been the case in the recent trading. There was a display of considerable strength which carried most stocks at one time or another above last nights close, out sales for profit taking were quite heavy and carried prices down at tne ciose. The market is still In the control of the professional traders and their tactics off set the elements of strength. New Jer sey Central gave evidence or naving reached a point or resistance to iurtner depreciation and the shorts were driven to rather strenuous exertions to cover. The loan rate of the stock was bid up by manipulation in order to embarrass the shorts. The removal of the severe pressure on this stock for the time being was quite a relier to tne market, tnougn there was a late reaction in the price. Sugar was strong on the belief that the It is an, told story, rehearser! anew, and perhaps o be repeated yet again. But it can scarcely last forever. The slow years turn ever forward, never backward. The power of Spain upon her colonies Is waning, and must one day cease. The demand of the people for self government Is growing strong er, and must some- time prevail. But beyond that inevitable change there lie harassing problems, such, as more than one emancipated Spanish colony naa found almost to overtax its strength, and such as even the United States has not yet fully settled. The end of the old story will come. But It is to be sought not lightly and heedlessly, but with grave appreciationi of its mighty import. New York Tribune. The debate on Wednesday In the sen ate, followed yesterday by the passage of Senator Morgan s resolution recog nizing the Cuban patriots as belliger emts, indicates that the almost univer sal desire of the American people to stop the hellish atrocities which for two years have gone on in Cuba will presently be gratified. The suspicious resistance encountered by the dictates of the national 'conscience from a little knot of New Englanders In congress, who would have found congenial sprr its among the tor'ies of the revolution and among the skulkers of the Hart ford convention, seems likely not to scandalize uss longer. Either these men are not incapable of shame, or they shrink betimes from exposure of their motives. New York Sun. It is becoming apparent to almost every one now, even the protection re publicans, that the new tariff "bill will prove to be a disastrous failure In the way of a revenue producer, so nearly prohibitive is it of the general list of imports. Another fact that is 'becoming apparent to thoughtful people is not so generally recognized by these extreme advocates of protection, viz: that our exports or sales abroad are likely to be cut down as much as our imports for revenue. Aside from the general fact that trade must be something of a mutual affair and that we must buy, when possible, from those to whom we sell; that we must engage, in a word, largely in an exchange in commodities, oth.er countries are becoming so indig nant and resentful of our extremely selfish policy that they are proposing to rearrange their schedules so as to favor other nations than the United States. Not only will our natural loss be marked, but adverse legislation will add another element that will still fur ther decrease our sales.

Washington, 'May 25. The weather bureau, in its report Of crop conditions for the week ended May 24111, saystl" The week has been generally favora ble for farm work, but cool nights gen erally throughout the states of the cen tral valleys, lake region and middle Atlantic coast have proved unfavora ble for some crops, while the need of rain is beginning to be felt in the cen tral Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys and in the south Atlantic states. H Cotton has experienced general im provement in Texas and has made rapid advancement jo ver the southern part of the state, where squares and bolls are forming. Decided improve-, ment is also reported from Alabama, with favorable reports from Arkansas and Georgia. Cool nights have proved injurious in Tennessee, and but slight improvement is reported in Louisiana, where the plant is sickly and is being injured by lice. While cool nights have unfavorably affected- the crop in Mis sissippi, it snows improvement. In the Carolinas the plant is small .hut healthy. " In Indiana and Ohio, where corn planting has been much retarded, rapid progress in planting has been mad during the week. Planting is well ad vanced in Michigan and continues rn Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Da kota. Cultivation has begun Ini south- ern Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, where planting is practically completed. Con- sideraMe replanting is necessary in Ne braska, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and portions of Kansas, owing to poor stands. ' Coot nights have proved un favorable in the Ohlo valley, Tennessee and east gulf states. THE WAYS OP THE WOULD.

San Francisco Argonaut. - An authority in one of the medical papers has recently called attention to an evil which many persons would do well to reflect upon'. It is the danger which lurks in "temperance drinks" and nostrums which may be classified under the general title of "spring medicines." Murdered by Her Husband. Baltimore, May 25.

In Kansas the crop is much improved. Complaints of chinch bugs are reported from Missouri, and in Illi nois the crop is unimproved and some fields are still being plowed up for corn. Harvest has begun in Georgia and Texas and will soon begin in Arkansas. In Washington the crop is needing rain, but in Oregon and California the conditions have been favorable. Spring wheat has made good pro gress in IOw a, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota, al' tnougn needing rain in some sections of the last named state.

The dealings in the stock were larger than for some time and were second only to those in Chicago Gas. The dealers . in the latter stock were inclined to take an exceedingly con servative view of the benefits assured by the action of the Illinois senate in passing the gas frontage and consolida tion bills on reconsideration. The stock did advance sharply on the news of the passage, but was carried down by heavy realizing sales. The tone of speculation generally held considerable confidence, specious causes contributing- to this feeling, 'lhe weak ening of the exchange market" during the day was also regaraea as an encouraging factor in tne general ouiiook, ana ac count was also taken of the week's state ment of merchandise exports from New York, showing a total of ?10.127,lbb, an in crease of $4o0,490 over last ween ana ai $2,031,782 over last year. This large ex pansion of exports is looked to to offset the heavy imports in anticipation of the new tariff and to help adjust tne ex change balance. Statements of railway earnings were also good, especially tnat of the Southern railway, showing an in crease of net earnings for April or iu.sia and of gross earnings of $S8,614. he effect was to raise the priceuf the stocKs. The inird week s statements ot gross earnings of St. Paul and Missouri Pacific caused a cheerful teeling among owners of railroad stocks, the former showing an increase of $34,346 and the latter of $49, 000. New Jersey Central's range was 3 points, the net gain being 1 point. The toal sale of stocks for the day amounted to 202,050 shares, including American Sugar 30.700, Bunngton ana Quincy 18,700.

The first sign of a reaction came when the decision was reached, a few months ago that Yale and Harvard should have no more contests except on college grounds.

Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER there has been a marked change for the better in the attitude of faculties towards students engaged in athletics, so far as regards their stand in their studies. No educational institu tion can afford to permit training methods under which a freshman try ing for the foot ball team may find that he has only one hour a day for his studies during the opening term of his course;- nor to let a professional player masquerade as a scholar, when he Is really paid to use his muscles for the college in which he is only nomi nally a student ; nor to let a ycung man on the crew, the nine, or the eleven re main in his class when his standing is so low that he would be dropped in a moment but for his membership of such an organization. The return of common sense in this matter is cause for: rejoicing. New York Evening Post. , The Chicago Markets. Chicago, May 25. Wheat today closed at a decline of c.

Mittman, a danciner teacher, while walking around the corridor on the Thirteenth noor or the chamber of commerce building, corner of La Salle and Washington streets, sua denly drew a revolver and shot himself. He threw himself over the railing into the court thirteen stories below, s narrow ly missing pedestrians in the main lobby of the structure. It is thought the man was dead before he struck the pavement The corpse was horribly ' crushed. 1 h fall was a distance of 180 feet.

We pointed out that the effect of such an institution would bp ruinous to the people, and the tendency of the scheme in operation would be to centralize the lands in a few hands the, hands of the capitalists. Peo ple who did not need money would borrow just because money cajild be had on what appearea to De easy terms; anu Liit.ii would follow extravagance, defaults in . payment, and finally foreclosures. V Ithout further discussing the bad fea tures of the scheme, we may say, point edly, that the south does not need the kind offices of this projectea benevolent institution. The south is neither bank rupt nor pauper. The- average farmer of the south does not desire or need to mort gage his lands. Indeed, he Is paying oft all of his debts at this time; and when he has got them paid he will never' again put the scratch of a pen upon' a mortgage not' while he retains his right mind. And the -southern farmer is a particularly . well-balanced and hard-headed individual. It would be perfectly safe to say that there is not an industrious and frugal farmer in the state of Georgia but can borrow all of the money he needs from year to year from local banking institutions, or mer chants, and at reasonable rates of inter est. In this very newspaper there have appeared from time to time recently ad vertisements of money to be loaned upon real estate, and we hear that no dirticuity is experienced by farmers in securing all the advances they want, in some in stances farmers have to be solicited to open accounts with factors. The farming classes, as a matter of fact, are rapidly becoming the most prosperous and inde pendent in the countryr sseverai years oi real hard times taught them the lesson of economy, and they are now profiting by it. The president of the Georgia State Agricultural Society says the Georgia far--mers are In a better condition than they have been for twenty years; that they. are prosperous, and that he would be delight ed to have the same degrees of prosperity guaranteed to them for twenty years to come. Where, then, is the need of an eleemosynary institution, to make them loans of money on their lands and take mortgages'? . j Bucklen'a Arnics Salve The best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, 'Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores.
