Blackburn Arrives i n
Greensboro. Denies Re
ports, Saying he Can
Sue all The Papers
That Published Them.
Raleigh, N. C., January 2. —Gover-
nor Glenn announced lie would leave
for Greensboro to-night to appear be
fore the grand jury which will be ask
ed to indict Congressman E. Spencer
Blackburn, on the charge of criminal
libel.
"I have not been able to hear from
the solicitor of the district," said the
governor.
This action follows the charges made
in a letter from Blackburn sent out
from Washington, Saturday last, in
which he stated to Congressman R. M.
Hackett, Democrat, elected in the
Eighth Congressional district, of North
Carolina, his grounds for contesting
the election, alleging among other
things that there has been -conspiracy
in which Governor Glenn used his in
fluence to secure Hackett's election,
and, as a member of the state text
book commission voted to put the
books of the American Book Company
on the state list of public school books
in return for which the American
Book Company contributed large sums
of money to corrupt the voters of the
Eighth Congressional district, while
in return Hackett was to use his in
fluence to have Governor Glenn elect
ed United States senator to succeed
the present senator from North Caro
lini, Hon. Lee S. Overman.
In a card published to-day Mr. Hack
ett denies the Blackburn charges.
"I shall prosecute Blackburn to the
full extent of the law/' he so declares.
Governor Glenn said to the Associat
ed Press correspondent: "One of two
things must be done—l must be im
peached or Blackburn must be sent
to jail."
It is Up to Blackburn.
Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 2. —Governor
Glenn received a telephone message
from Greensboro this morning in
' forming him that Congressman Black
burn had arrived in that city from
"Washington. ' He at once instructed
E. J. Justice to secure a warrant
ier the arrest of the Congressman.
Later the Governor received a mes
sage from Solicitor Brooks, stating
:hat he (Brooks) had just had a talk
with Blackburn and that he latter
disclaimed all responsibility for the
articles published in the Sunday
papers in charges were made against
the Governor.
On receipt of this informa
tion, the Governor said that it was
up to Mr. Blackburn to prove this,

Uu in Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 4. —The milk
trust of Pittsburg, which has just de
clared an advance of two cents a quart
in the price of milk, will eat up the
greater part of the much-talked of
wage increase in the Pittsburg district
which goes into effect with the new
year.
Pittsburg consumes 200,000 quarts of
milk every day, and the advance there
fore means $4,000 a day, or $1,460,000
for this year.
The wage advance in the Pittsburg
district in some instances amounts to
as high as. 10 per cent. The total
vanee foots up $2,000,000 a year, so that,
the increased milk bill almost counter
balances this, to say nothing of the ad

CATARRH JS,
AND SYSTEM DISORDERED
Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the'tissues of the head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi
cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cpld will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal potson affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
! feeling, iiosc continually stopped up, pains above, the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered nsd
- affected by this disease. It is a waste of
yJaSf time to try to cure Catarrh with sprays,
been worse. I tried everything washes, inhalations, etc. Such treatment
S° and does not reach the blood, and can therefore,
could see a little improvement do nothing more than temporarily relieve
takTngH was cured, the discomfort of the trouble. To cure
This was six years aero, and I am Catarrh permanently the blood must be
oitlrrh bloo/dsSis" aSd thoroughly purified and the system cleansed
know there is nothing on earth Q f ail poisons, .and at the same time
sto&d? I: s! s: strengthened and built up. Nothing equals
than I do. M. MATSON, S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks the
Lapeer, Mich. disease at its head, goes down to the very
bottom of the trouble and makes a complete
and lasting cure. S. S. S. removes every

and healthy. Then the inflamed mem

and cleared, the hawking and spitting cease,
every svmptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health
restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts a3 a

Children of Archduke Otto.
Vienna, Jan. 3. —It has just been
' publicly disclosed that since the
death of the Archduke Otto, which
! occurred several months ago, two
, letters from him have been found,
one being addressed to the Emperor,
; and the other to his brother, the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, disclos
ing the fact that he was the father
of two natural children aged live
ind six, by a Vienna actress. The
Archduke Otto implored the Emporer
to take care of these children. It is
leported that his Majesty gave the
rum of 200,000 crowns for the main
tenance of the children, but the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand gave
nothing. The mother of the children
was present with the Archduke Otto
until his death, retiring only when
some member of the imperial family
raid a visit to the sick room.
