This woman says she was saved
from an operation by Lydia E.
Pinkham'sVegetable Compound.
Lena V. Henry, of Norristown, Ga.,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
" I suffered untold misery from fe
male troubles. My doctor said an opera
tion was the only chance I had, and I
dreaded it almost as much as death.
" One day I read how other women
had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and I decided to
try it. Before I had taken the first
bottle I was better, and now I am en
tirely cured.
" Every woman suffering" with am
female trouble should take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges
tion, dizziness or nervous prostration.
Why don't you try it ?
Mrs. Pinkham invites sll sick
women to write her for advice.
She has guided thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
Stanley Enterprise: "The mar,
who stops reading newspaper?
now to save a few cents is prac
ticing a doubtful economy. One
man who sometime as;o had his
paper stopped because he couldn't
afford it, remarked to us that he
realizes now that he lost more
than he gained. If. there was
ever a time for the farmer and
readers generally to keep abreast
with the times it is now."

Another for Ashley Home.
Mr. Editor:
Please allow your correspond
ent to speak a good word for the
honorable Ashley Home e
think him quite a nice old gentle
man, as the boys call him, and
he is not old neither, just the
right age to make a good gover
nor. Thoroughly established in
all things that go to make up a
good citizen. Endowed with all
the qualities that make up the
business man, the man of affairs
given to charity and deeds of
benevolence.
The burden of his sixty years
has not bowed his stature, but
with form erect like the true
soldier he was forty years ago.
He can catch the step to martial
music or the drum beat. Like
old Moses his eye is not dimmed
nor his power abated. He is a
combination* man (so to speak.)
He has forged his way from
poverty high up the ladder of
business success.
As chief executive of our great
State he well knows how to sym
pathise with the poor man for
he has trod the path of poverty.
The industrial workers can con
fide in him. He has large hold
ings on these lines, and should
be called one of the captains of
industry. The bankers and
moneyed men can rest assured
of his care for he has the cash
laid up in banks of his own earn
ing and knows how timid and
shy gold is at all times and
especially gold eagles, how they
take wings of the morning and
fly away. His bank account at
tests his knowledge of the ways
of these valuable birds. And the
farmers, Ashley knows farming
from start to finish. He started
pulling the bell cord over Buck,
on rented land, plowing the good
old way, barefooted. Thus, step
by step he climbed to the very
pinnacle of success as a farmer,
and no one up to this writing to!
our knowledge has ever said |
ought against him or intimated |
that he ever took any unfair ad
vantage of his fellow men in
business competition or trade.
But when as a farmers' supply
merchant and crops were short
and seasons bad he always carried
the boys over till they grew an
other crop.
He is a Democrat of the Demo
crats—never wandering away
after the manner of some, fol
lowing after the false idols of
liberals, Butlerism, populism, nig
ger and radical fusion, but has
kept in the beaten paths of Dem
ocracy always coaxing and plead
ing with the boys to keep to the
Democratic fold as their political
stronghold.
1 As a soldier of the lost cause
j his record grows brighter as the
/ears go by. See him surrender
ais musket to his conqueror at
j A.ppomattox and receive his
permit to return to his devastated
I home, ragged and dirty, without
?hoes or rations, poorer than
Job's turkey. See him as he is
ttday, the well rounded capable
citizen, successful in every de
partment. We say three cheers
cor the honorable Ashley Home
! she next governor of North Caro
lina!
Now soldier comrades hear the
call,
\nd vote for Ashley Home
lopsided, lame, piglegs and all,
braver has been born.
[lis is no dingy, dinted Horn
Its notes are clear and round;
Though with long service it is
worn
There's no uncertain sound.
Then rally round him to a man,
You ask whats all this for?
To have a gray coat veteran
For our next Governor.
To show these upstarts since the
wars
These Kitchins and these Cralgs,
If we did train the stars and bars
i We still can pull their legs.
The little imps behind our backs
Say we're not in it much,
With our piglegs their heads
we'll crack
For cussin and all such.
But still we know its getting late.
The shades are -lengthening fast
And soon the boys must run the
State.
When we heed Gabriels blast.
Lets vote our best for Horne next
fall,
And beat the boys this year,
Some will be left but not near all
To vote next time I fear. —W. L.
Wolf.
Roosevelt and Devastation.
High Point, N. C., April 17.-
Mf. W. G. Newman, a prominent
financier of Wall street, on a re
cent trip in this locality, .handed
out an interesting circular of
which he is the author and one
has reached the newspaper men
of this citv. The cicular which is
illustrated gives the results as he
saw it from Mr. Roosevelt's poli
cy and as it has not been in print
in the State as for as we have
seen itwwuld nodoubt prove in
teresting reading. The illustration
reviewed the result:
"There was devastation and
ruin in the United States trees
growing up between the rails of
the railroads and through the
walls of the largest factories of
the earth; Morgan, Rockefeller,
Rogers and Harriman begging
for something to eat loaded down
with millions of securities, and
in the heavens there loomed up on
a golden throne Emperor Roose
velt crowing aloud between the
peals of thunder and lightning,
"My policies shall continue for
ever," while the angels in heaven
were wailing and gnashing their
teeth and hungry dogs and wolves
were gnawing the bones of wid
ows and orphans and thousands
of working men striving and
fighing against the famine of
the country with empty pails
and empty stomaches crying a
loud, the wrong policies pursued
the wrong light turned on des
troying our employers' factories,
a million homes ruined, fen bil
lion dollars lost and only one dead
bear. We have all been humbug

It was learned that hundaeds
of thousands of these circulars
are being sent out all over the
country by the business men of

Unearthed Confederate
Treasure.
Blue Mountain- Correspondence
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Wore than $1,000,000 in Con
federrte currency and about $4,
000 in gold coin and bullion was
unearthed by the prong of a
plow on Bret Knox's farm near
here today by the planter, who
had just taked the reins of the
mule in hand in an effort to show
a negro how to "ditch" a trough
intended to carry the accumula
tion of water from the plot of
ground in cultivation.
The treasure is believed to
have originally belonged to Sam
uel H. Thompson, whose farther
was prominent in the Confeder
ate cause during the civil war,
but as there are no heirs Knox
will retain possession unless a
claim is mad®.
The Confederate bills were
mostly of $5 $lO and S2O de
nominations, and were so mil
dewd from age that they fell to
fragments when handled.

Negro Shoots His Wife. '
Joe Hoke and wife, colored, of
Bobtown, began a qurrel which
grew with what it fed upon Fri
day night. About midnight Dr.
J. H. Shuford was sent for to
sew up Joe's head, which had
been cut oyen by his wife. Af
ter this, the quarrel plainly be
gan once more and about six
o'clock Joe shot the woman
through the bowels inflicting a
dangerous, if not mortal wound.
Reliable details of the matter
are somewhat hard to get, as the
' cloud of witnesses" on such oc

the testimony obscure. But it
was a bad scrap that is certain.
PUNY CHILDREN NEED VINOL
It Builds Them Up and Makes
Them Strong and Robust.
Rapid growth, overstudy, insufficient
nourishment, ■« convalescence after
children's diseases, and run-down con
ditions mak children thin and delicate
and stops development.
Because Vinol conntains all the med
icinal, bone, tissue and body-building
elements of cod liver oil, actually
taken from fresh cods' liverr, the use
less oil elemented and peptonate of
iro added, it quickly restored robust
health and children love it.
Mrs. C. W. Stump, of Canton,
Ohio, writes: "I wish I could induce
every mother who has avweak, sickly
shild to try that delicious cod liver
preparation, Vinol, as it restored
health and strength te our daughter af
ter all else had failed."
We have never sold a medicine in
our store equal to Vinol for delicate,
ailing children, weak old people, or
sickly women and children, and we re
turn money if it fails to benefit. Men
