that I could keep nothing on it

my throat and lungs were raw -and

It mattered little to me what

OURC3 NEURALGIA. I
GEN. CARR FOR CLEVELAND.
He Thinks He Is Strongest Mao The
Durham Democratic Light Discusses
the Question Before the People of
the Nation He Endorses Senator
Simmons and His Vote on the Canal
Roosevelt a Strong Man to Con
tend With He Must be Opposed by
a Greater Man.
H. E. C. Bryant, in Charlotte Observer.
It has been my jrootl fortune to
visit in Durham for the last few days.
The citizens of that busy city call it
"The Hub." I rode about the town
on the street cars the Durham sys
tem is new ami well organized saw
the large tobacco factories, the hand
some cotton mills .and the hundred
and one other manufacturing enter
prises. Durham is a dignified town
with public parks, vaudeville show
halls, a market house, a theatre and
scores of active churches. The Dur
hamites areproud of their prosperity
and wealth.
The other day, while returning
from a pleasant ride to East Dur
ham, I met with Gen. Julian S. C'arr.
The car stopped in the swell end of
town, the General came out from his
pretty home and boarded it. He
was radiant with smiles. His face
was the picture of health and happi
ness. He fairly shone in the morn
ing sun. His linen was spotless, his
ruddy face cleanly shaven, and he
wore a pink carnation in the lapel of
his coat. The general, always agree
able and cheerful, had evidently en
joyed his morning coffee and roll, and
felt at peace with the world and man
kind. After saying a good word for
mv story about Uncle Nick Slaughter
and '?-ey Cole's ghost, (it appeared
in the Monday Observer) the general
was inveigled into a discussion of the
national issues most prominent be
fore the American people today. I
tlrew fare by referring to the untimely
death of Senator Hanna. This
brought forth a general review of the
political situation.
Gen. Carr declared that his happy
work now was to manage and develop
the First National Bank of Durham,
ind superintend Oeconeechee Farm.
These two institutions engage his
entire tune, and both are prosper
ing.
With an airof honest sincerity Gen.
Carr said:
"Like my friend, Knight Sir Walter
Richmond Henry, 1 am done with
politics.
This was from tue (jeneral s heart,
vet he likes the political arena the
contest of the hustings. He is neither
soured nor disgusted; still enjoys the
privileges of serving in the ranks,
but delights more, vastly more, m
the love, the confidence-and respect
of his friends. His ambition is to
serve his friends and to vote the
straight Democratic ticket. He en
thusiastically endorses Senator Sim
mons posit ion and vote on the canal
question. He declared:
"Mv position is: Dig the canal, and
discuss the high-handed outrage of
the Chief Executive afterwards. But
dig the canal. It would be placing
the Democratic party in a most em
barrassing position before the people
of this country to antagonize the
canal. This is my humble judgment.
The shibboleth of the party should
be: 'Dig the canal.'"
The general contined: "I have this
to say regarding the leadership of
the Democratic party: My convic
tions are decided. No man, I take it,
is rash enough to question my De
mocracy. Twice I loyally followed
Bryan, through a slaughter house to
an open grave, and I do not feel called
upon to make any apologies there
for. He was the candidate of the
Democratic party. But the country
has had quite enough of Mr. Bryan,
the chief issue of which he promul
gated is dead, past resurrection. He
is no longer the party, and ought to
be required to shut up and sitdown.
He must be required to do so, else
the partv stands alreadv shackled
with the shame of defeat. Mr. Brvan's
Nebraska speech and, later, his speech
in New York, thoroughly satisfies me
that there is no hope for the future of
the partv, so long as he dominates
His insistence that the party reaffirm
and reiterate the Kansas City plat
form, is worse than suicidal. For the
approaching campaign it simply
means to murch up the hill and then
to march down again. Conditions
are different from then, and besides
the eountrv has tired of the man with
one idea.
"I am at a loss to sav who will be
the next Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, but I feel assured that
the South at least will never worship
at the altar of the Nebraska states
man. Mr. Gorman's unfortunate and
unwise position on the canal ques
tion, and his recent display of 'poor
politics in his own State, 1 take it,
eliminates him. I doubt if he could

carry his own State, and I don't
think that I underestimate his
strength as a smart politician. The
party will demand as its caudidate a
wise man, not a particularly 'smart'
man, the one will win in politics,
but the other is essential in state
craft. "Say what you may, President
Roosevelt will be a strong candidate,
and will enter the race with the pres
tige of a unanimous nomination, at
the hands of one of the largest and
most enthusiastic conventions in the
history of this country. Mark my
words! It is right that he should be.
He is the logical candidate of the Re
publican party. The death of Sena
tor Hanua removes anv possibility
even of a competitor for the nomina
tion. But really in truth this never
amounted to a great deal. Even now
this 'cloud to the title' has been re
moved. President Roosevelt plays
in the finest luck of anv man ever be-
ore the American people in public
ife. The grim messenger of Death
has twice come to his relief. Certainly
he must have been born under a lucky
utar.
"To defeat Roosevelt it behooves
the Democratic party to nominate its
strongest man. Who is he? Cer
tainly not Gorman, is I said just a
while ago.
"Respecting Judge Parker can
and will he carry New York? If he
can, perhaps he is the man, and if
this can be made to appear to the
satisfaction of the convention most
ikely he will receive the nomination.
A close study of Mr. Murphy's posi
tion touching Judge Parker s candi
dacy, is not very assuring, and Mr.
Murphy has got to be reckoned with
n this matter. 1 take it that Judge
Parker is too closely allied with Mr.
David B. Hill to suit Mr. Murphy as
a Presidential candidate.
"I am not unmindful that it is gen
erally an accepted fact that Mr.
Cleveland has virtually placed him
self beyond the pale of Presidential
candidates. I am thoroughly satis
fied that Mr. Cleveland was honest in
the position he took, and - that he
does not desire t he nomination, m tact
shrinks from it. I regard the further
fact that already a very respectable
per cent, of the party has gone on re
cord against Mr. Cleveland's nomina
tion. But that does not count.
"Let the Democratic party take a
sane and dangerous position anu
nominate Mr. Cleveland, and we will
come nearer succeeding tnan witn
any other man. Call the S;ige of
"nnceton as the Roman Vox Populi
called Cincinuatus, and command
nm to act as the Moses of the party,
to lead us out of the wilderness, and
believe he will and can do it.
"With Mr. Cleveland as the candi
date of the Democratic party we can
hope to win the electoral vote oirsew
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connec
ticut. Indiana, Oregon, California,
and perhaps Illinois and Michigan.
will not dishonor the Democratic
record of the South by supposing
that he would not receive the solid
electoral vote of the 13 Southern
States. This insures a Democratic
President, with votes to spare. The
long and short of it is, with Cleve
land as our candidate, 1 have very
great hopes of success; with some
other candidate it is a verv doubtiul
proposition to say the least."
Gen. Carr is very hopeful of Demo
cratic success m the nation if the
Democrats will nominate their
strongest man.

Wept at Senator Hanna's Death.
The Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing Senator Hanna's death
contained this paragraph:
Mr. Dover, the Senator's secretary,
read the bulletin to newspaper men
who were waiting. Word went over
the hotel like a flash. The lobby was
crowded and a score of friends were
waiting in Mr. Dover's room. Though
it was known five minutes before that
the Senator had breathed his last,
the effect upon his friends was almost
that of a sudden shock. No attempt
was made to restrain grief. Senators
Fairbanks, Scott and Kittredge
broke down. They stayed at the
hotel the entire day and knew there
was no hope, but that proved no
guard against the tears which sprang
unbidden to their eyes and ran down
their cheeks. General Dick wept his
sorrow at the loss of a friend who
had been a brother. His associations
with Senator Hanna were born in
politics, but became bonds firm as
though bred in the blood. None
knew Senator Hanna well but to ad
mire him, and the sl-.mder step from
admiration to love was crossed in the
days of anxiet' which attended the
Senator's illness. So it was that con
versations were a curious admixture
of whispers and choked sobs.

The War.
Charlotte Observer. -
It appears as though the naval
portion of the war between Russia
and Japan were practically ended,
with Japan decidedly the victor.
There remain, however, the land con
flict, and unless the unexpected hap
pens, the next few days will furnish
news of battles in which the smaller
arms will get in their deadly work.
The reports indicate that Japan is
pouring thousands of troops into
Korea and is also preparing to in
vade Manchuria,
Russia seems to have gone into this
war with her hands tied, if not ac
tually suffering from the dishonesty
of her own officials. Wre have been
prone heretofore to reckon the
strength of the navies of Russia and
Japan merely by the number and
power of the vessels possessed by
each. The erroneous character of
this calculation is now apparent from
the fact that so far as this war is con
cerned, at least at present, all the
vessels that Russia possesses are
those at Port Arthur which have been
badly crippled and are now said to
be frozen in the harbor, and a squad
ron at Vladivostock. The latter, it
appears, is afraid to attempt to go
to Port Arthur, and therefore no con
junction of these forces is likely. Rus
sia has in the Baltic Sea a formida
ble array of ships of war, but in order
to reach the present scene of hostili
ties it is necessary for them to travel
some 15,000 or more miles, when
they would find on their arrival that
there is no place for them to re-coal
jand re-victual, this fact placing them
at the mercy of a Japanese navy,
which has everything it needs at hand.
Some idea of the magnificent dis
tances, for Russia, involved in the
present conflict may be had when it
is stated that it is as far from St.
Petersburg to the seat of war as it is
from New York to St. Petersburg,
while San Francisco is as near Vladi
vostock as is St. Petersbug. The
distance, in this iustance, as between
St. Petersbunr and the "zone of hos-
tilitie," is overland by direct route.
By water San Francisco is about a
third the distance from Vladivostock
as is the capital of Russia. The dif
ficulty involved in sending troops
over the railroad is that the trains
must carry all provisions with them
for such great distance through a
barren country that even though the
line remained intact it would be rather
a perilous undertaking. It has been
stated that the provisions at Port
Arthur cannot be made to last longer
than six months, and at some of the
stations in that vicinity less than
that length of time, which would seem
to indicate that Japan could starve
out the Russians if she desired to
adopt a waiting attitude. It is un
likely, however, that the energetic
little brown" men will adopt any such
course of inactivity.

FOR.
THAT'S ALL!
Marcus Alonzo Hanna.
Charlotte News.
The passing of Senator Hanna re
moves a conspicuous figure from the
arena of national politics. He prac
tically began his political career as
distinguished from his business
career, which was a most successful
one, as a delegate to the Republican
Conventions of '84, '88 and '9G. In
the latter year he occupied the posi
tion of Chairman of the Republican
Committee and his management of
that campaign was the wonder of
his friends and the despair of his
enemies.
During the progress of this cam
paign he was the target for most vin
dictive cartooning and lampooning
with which any politician in America
has been assailed. When he was ap
pointed to the Senate, to succeed
John Sherman, there was a feeling in
his own partj' that his appointment
was too high a price to pay for his
services and that a merecommercial
ist, with low ideals and small attain
ments, had been unduly exalted.
But Senator Hanna was also the
finest example of the rehabilitation
of a public man, in public estimation,
by the unaided force of his character
and ability. The nation came to
know him as a business man of in
tegrity, as an employer of labor who
had the absolute confidence and to a
large measure the affection of his
working-men, as a politician who
kept his word and had the fault of
his good, qualities, that he would
stand by 'a friend in trouble, right, or
wrong. Theeartoonists have softened
his outlines until they are nearer his
likeness, and a good, benevolent face
he has. The newspaper men have be
come his devoted friends. The old
time Republican would gladly have
seen him the nominee of his party for
the Presidency, and if he had not been
afraid that his health would not
stand the strain, he would have made
a formidable competitor with Mr.
Roosevelt for the nomination.
Peace to his memory! He was a
large man and a square man. He did
his duty as he saw it nnd he kept
faith. The death of no politician of
the opposite party could occasion
such deep regret as that of Senator
Hanna.

Sees Chance for Party Success The
Democratic ex-President Urges the
Rank and File to Unite for the Con
test in November Unrest Among
the People Caused by startling and
Flippant Conduct of the Party In
Power Obsolete Issues Should be
Manfully Abandoned.
Philadelphia, Feb. 17. In an ar
ticle written for this week's Saturday
Evening Post former President Cleve
land urges his "rank and file asso
ciates" of the Democratic party to
unite and take advantage of theop
portunities of next November. '
"1 am one of those," he writes, "who
believe that there is an opportunity
for Democratic success iu the coming
Presidential election.
"Though attachment to the party
iir which I am enlisted and au intense
desire for its ascendency make Buch
belief exceedingly welcome, they cer
tainly don't create it. It is built
upon an unshaken and abiding trust
in the patriotism and intelligence of
my fellow countrymen."
Mr. Cleveland's paper opens with a
re-iteration of the declaration that
he made three years ago:
"Our fighting forces will respond
listlessly and falteringly if summoned
to a third defeat in a strange cause;
but if they hear the rallying call of
true Democracy they will gather for
battle with old time Democrat ic en
thusiasm and courage."
Referring to his faith in his Demo
cratic associates, he continues:
"This trust will not permit me to
overlook the meaning of the daily in
creasing unrest among our people,
growing out of the startling and flip
pant abandonment by the party in
power of our national traditions and
maxims, its disregard of our nat ional
moral restraints, its inconsiderate
tendency to set aside national good
faith, its willingness to break away
from safe and accustomed moorings,
and its contemptuous neglect of our
national mission. Surely these con
ditions, together with' the broken
pledges and forgotten promises of re
form that vex the sight on every
side, not only abundantly explain
the popular distress and fear prevail
ing everywhere in the land, but sug
gest that in such stress of political
weather those of our fellow citizens
who thoughtfully and constantly love
our free institutions will not be un
mindful of such safety and quiet as
may be offered them by a patriotic
and conservative Democracy."
Mr. Cleveland thinks these condi
tions justify the assertion of Demo
cracy's opportunity. He gays:
"It should be remembered, how
ever, that opportunity may be only
distantly related to actual accom
plishment, and that it does not of it
self, unaided and alone, warrant the
expectation of reaching successful re
sults. "This is no time for cunning finesse,
nor for the use of words that conceal
intentions or carry a double mean
ing. The Democratic party has a
message to send to its followers and
to the masses of the American peo
ple. Let that message be expressed
in language easily understood, un
confused by evasion and untouched
by the taint of jugglery. Obsolete
issues and questions no longer chal
lenging popular interest should be
manfully abandoned."
Mr. Cleveland urges tariff reform,
pleads for economy in the expendi
ture of public money and charges the
opposition with having made prom
ises and broken them. He arraigns
the administration's Philippine pol
icy and refers to the Isthmian Canal :
in these words:
"The Democratic party has been
consistent und unremitting in its ad-'
vocacy of inter-oceanic canal, and
has looked forward to the day when
such a highway of commerce, built i
under the auspices of our govern-
ment, would be contributed by Amer-!
ica to the world's progress and civil- j
ization. It is, nevertheless, not with-'
in the mandates of the Democratic,
creed, that even in consummating so (
nooie an enterprise as tins the tern-1
torial and other rights of any other !
nation should be disregarded and !
the good faith of such nations
shaken."
Mr. Cleveland concludes as fol
lows: "At such a time as this the Demo-i
cratic party cannot with honor un
dertake the battle of tii. people ex
cept under a leader that i.ot only
represents its best traditions and
purposes, but fully realizes what is
meant by the tremendous issue of the
conflict; and his selection should not
depend upon so small a considera-1
tion as the locality whence he comes.
"The Democracy's opportunity isi
already in sight; but only in a cam
paign waged in reliance upon the
people's love of country and devotion
to national morality and under a
leadership that personifies these sen-
j timents will be found the Democracy's
hopes."

Iiwas suffering terribly witn indigeation and '
kidney trouble and sent to my druggist for
something to relieve me.
As he sent me a package of Dr. Thacher'a
Liver and Blood Syrap I concluded to try it,
and now I am deeply grateful to my druggist
as well as to you.
I bad been a sufferer from these things and
a general run-down condition for ten vesra,
and had only received temporary relief from
other medicines. But after using not quite two
packages of vour Liver and Blood Syrup I feel
as stout and hearty as I ever did in ray life, and
I am satisfied that I am entirely cured. I feet
no symptoms whatever of kidney trouble, and
my digestion is as good as any living man's.
I can now eat whatever I choose.
I never had any remedy give me such quick
and permanent relief, and 1 can not put a cor
rect estimate on the value your medicine has
been to me. I would not take any amount of
money for it. Very gratefully yours
