Wheroaa we do nob believe this
condition is due to the overproduc
tion of eithor of these crops, but that
the cause lies in speculation entirely
and the manipulation of prices by
tliOMe who have no cotton or tobacco
to sell but are gambling on futures
and thereby misrepresenting actual
conditions,
"Therefore, be it resolved, that we
will, as far as we can honorably do
so, hold our produce, believing that
the demand for ppot goods will justi
fy in uch action.
"We further request all non-union
farmers to join us in this effort to
secure at least a living profit on the
products of our toil."

Cure For Smallpox.
Since the men who were sent to our
legislative halls to make laws for
the betterment of our citizens prefer
to pave a little money though North
Carolina be made one vast pesthouse
in consequence, it is well to publish
everything that will tend to stay or
destroy this loathsome disease.
More than half a century has passed
since this recipe was given to the
public, but that makes it none the
less etiicacious. This recipe to my
certain knowledge has been used suc
cessfully in hundreds of cases. It
will prevent or cure the smallpox. It
is as unfailing as fate, and conquers
in every instance.
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half a
teaspoon of water. When well mix
ed add four ounces of water, shake
well, and take a tablespoonful every
hour. For a child a smaller dose.
It will disappear in twelve hours.
If you value experience, use this. It
is perfectly harmless to all well per

In the great Ecumenical Confer
ence, now iu session in Toronto,
Bishop Kilgo, of North Carolina, has
taken quite an active and conspic
uous part and home people have fol
lowed his remarks with much inter
est. The Baltimore Sun has made a
summary of facts in regard to this
conference which we find of absorb
ing interest. Prefacing its editorial
with "Methodism was born in a
great missionary movement, and for
more than a century has gone march
ing on its way around the globe.
From thv days of Wesley it has ob
served the call to go into all the
world and has done its part in bring
ing nearer the time when the gospel
shall be preached to every living crea
ture. Its enlistment of men of every
land and tongue is exemplified in the
Ecumenical Conference now in session
in Toronto. Seventeen couu tries are
represented by the 500 delegates, and
the statisticians assert that the vari
ous bodies of Methodists now em
brace 9,000,000 communicants, with
30,000,000 adherents under Metho
dist influence." The Sun says no
Protestant denomination has shown
more remarkable growth than the
Methodists, and there appears to be
little ground for pessimism in regard
to the future. Dr. H. K. Carroll
pointed out in an address at Toron
to that in the past decade there has
been an increase of but 437,502, or
15 per cent, compared with 1,261,
209, or 33 per cent, in the decade
ending in 1891. But this is only rel
ative, and a denomination that can
show a net increase of over 400,000
in ten years is certainly moving ldr
ward. While conditions in England
are not so favorable as in America,
according to the accounts of Rev.
Simpson Johnson and Rev. flenry
Haigh, the reports from the mission
fields are more than gratifying. Rev.
William Williams declares that
"every tenth person in Australia is a
Methodist," while the conferences in
China, Japan, India, Africa, and oth
er mission fields have a membership
of 708,105, 1,444,292 adherents and
458,165 in the Sunday schools.
There are 2,528 missionaries in ac
tive service, while there are 52,978
ordained ministers in the home con
ferences, the consecrated captains
who lead a vast army of worshippers.
The address of President Lewis, of
the Methodist Protestant General
Conference for a union of all Ameri
can Methodists into one body was
an eloquent plea for a closer co-operation
of the 17 separate bodies,
which now bear the Methodist name.
Heretofore neither the efforts for
"organic union" nor for consolida
tion have been entirely successful.
But whether the Methodists main
tain their distinctive organizations
or unite in one immense body, they
will continue to be one of the most
virile and energetic divisions of the
Church Militant.
We learn from the Gold Leaf that
Mrs. T. II. Hill, of Henderson, is
raising ginger. North Carolina is
the garden in which everything in
cluding disturbances may be raised.
But for real ginger, just wait until
the pledge breakers get in the open
race for the House and Senate of the
next Congress. Maxton Scottish

Doan's Kidney Pills, I feel like a dif
ferent person and ia return for the
benefit received, 1 cheerfully recom
mend them to anyone afflicted with
kidney trouble. I was a victim of
this complaint for a long time, the
most annoying symptom being a
dull pain n my back. Upon arising
in the morning, I was often so lame
and sore that I could hardly
straighten and I even found it diffi
cult to get about. My kidneys were
also disordered and the secretions
caused me much annoyance by their
irregularity in passage. I at last ob
tained a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
from the Kerner-MacNair Cos Drug
Store and they enred me. I now
have no backache, my kidneys are
normal andj my health is better in
everyway. Anyone annoyed by dis
ordered kidneys will do well to give
Doan's Kidney Pills a trial."

We Back up Our Statements with Our
Personal Reputation and Money..
We are so positive that we can re
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost if
we fail.
We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics
may do much harm. They may cause
a reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
' Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves-and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expecta cure
you mu9t therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active princi
ple of our remedy involved the labor
of skilful research chemists. This
remedy produces results such as are
expected from the best-known intes
tinal tonics, and it is particularly
prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexal! Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of ihe bowels, having, it would
seem, a neutral actiou on other or
gans or glands. They do not purge
or cause inconvenience. If ihey do
not positively cure chronic or habit
ual constipation and thus relieve the
my raids of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, your money will be
refunded. Try Kexall Urderhes at
our risk-. Three sizes of packages,
10c, 25c, and 50c. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in this
community only at our store The
