Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sign Mean ? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the bus iness which is not " open and above board." It means that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs with out drugs ? Come and See. J*o the women of America continu ally use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential ? Coine and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents ? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women ? Come and See. This advertisement is only foT doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkhanvs Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben sfited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake,be taught confidence.for she also might just as well regain ner health.

John son, Progressive Democrat of Integ rity, Ability and Achievement, Suc cess Is Assured. / Wearied of twelve years of over whelming defeat in national elections, during which time the party has lost national ...political control of every northern state and has witnessed dev astating inroads even on the southern states, hundreds of thousands of Dem ocratic voters have In the last few months asked, "Who is the man who can lead the party to victory?" The best of armies, military or polit ical. require some measure of success to maintain their spirit and efficiency. Continuous and overwhelming defeat even in the worthiest of causes dis heartens the strongest men. Conditions are such iu this year 1908 that a united Democracy supporting a strong presidential nominee can win the presidential office and open the way for a return of the Democratic party to power. Not only do the best interests of the Democratic party call for a victory this year, but so also do the best interests of the nation. Twelve years of almost unopposed government of the republic by one party and for eight of those years practically by one man have brought about conditions that are repugnant to the"efficient and satisfactory administration of a gov ernment supposedly of the people. Prinoiple With Victory.- Victory can be achieved this year without sacrificing one iota of the stand for principle that has been made with so much sacrifice by the Demo cratic party of the United States for the last dozen years. It Is merely a question of changing leadership. Three limes iu succession our party has gone i to defeat because its leadership has not been able to inspire confidence in the masses of the voters, patriotic, progressive and sincere as that leader ship has unquestionably been. The party is greater than its individual membership aud greater than Its lead ers. The time has come when it should name its leader in a presidential cam paign and no longer permit itself to be defeated by a sentimental, though he roic. devotion to a great name that has dominated It for a dozen years. If in the ranks of the party there Is a tnan whose principles, whose party fealty, whose success in political bat tles, whose actual achievements in legislation and statesmanship—and a oinn holding a commanding political ■vltuatiou—are such that victory under his leadership is indicated, is it not the duty of reasonable, thoughtful, de voted Democrats desiring the success of their party to turn to him? Johnson the Man. The friends of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who have watched his remarkable career in re cent years, as well as impartial ob servers and journalists throughout the country, believe that he is the man of the hour, the man in every way equip ped to make a successful campaign and afterward to be a chief executive of the highest order. Let us briefly re view his career. John A. Johnson was born in St Peter, Nicollet county, Minn., July 28, 18»>1, of Swedish parents. His child hood and youth were passed in great poverty. At thirteen years of age he was compelled _to leave the public schools of his native city in order to support himself and the parental fam ily. Though his formal education was thus early cut short, his self education never stopped. A student at all times, a wide reader and a thoughtful one, Mr. Johnson, after some years of ob scure toil as a drug and grocery clerk and railway timekeeper, became at the age of twenty-four editor of the St Pe ter Herald. He soon became known as one of the ablest of Minnesota Jour lalists and was recognized as one of :he leaders of journalism in a state re markable for the number, vigor and in fluence of its periodical press. As a cpuntry editor he was gradually drawn Into politics and In 1898 was elected a member of the senate of the Minne sota legislature, and his first public po litical work was as a member of that body. From the first he was Identified with various reform measures which have since become law in Minnesota. Wherever Governor Johnson has gone he has Impressed men as being a man of the Lincoln type. He has the faculty of making many friends and few enemies. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea never fails to tone the stomach, purify the blood, regulated the kidneys, liver and bowels.

Maj E J Hall of the Fayetteville Observer read an elaborate pa per on How to prevent Freight Discrimination against North Carolina. A very able paper was read by Rev. J. 0.

Prof. Atkinson said, However a relig ious man may edit a political newspaper, in rare instances for a brief season. The paper on The Editor and his Subscribers was one of fbe best of the sesion Mr Bersley said the Editor's personal am bition, vanity, self aggrandize ment, and all other forms of selfness must be left behine. Other important matters were discused notably the Inland Waterway the Paper Trust and etc. The business part of the meet ing was imensly interesting, how ever the Editors their wives and daughter took no less interest in the social side of the question for ever open- hearted and hand ed Charlotte had prepared some thing for them in that line.

Repriuted from Mill News, Charlotte, April 9 1908. As a rule cotton mill people do not take much interest in poiitics and perhaps it is well, for it is seldom that they receive any ben efit from so doing. However, there are times vftien it is the duty of every citizen to assert his rights and demand a voice in selecting the men who a e oma - age the affairs of the State. Sua a time is now at hand. For twelve years North Carolina has been governed by lawyers, who constitute less than onetenth 0 c one per cent of the population. While I have nothing against the lawyers as a class, certainly noth ing rgainst these particular gen tlemen, I think it high time for the business interests to be re presented. There was a time perhaps when the old style of politics would do, but North Carolina is progressing too ranidly in an in indrustrial way to follow the old rules. There are millions invest ed in her enterprises and it is eminently fitting ttyat a business man be at the helm. „ Such a man is Ashley Horrie of Clayton. He is not only one of the largest and most successful farmers of the State, but is a cotton oil, fertili zer and cotton manuiacturer of unusual ability. It might be add ed that he is a Christian gentle man, a Confederate soldier and a philanthropist of more than local reputation. He has been in pub lic life enough to know what will be expected of him as the chief executive. He has been a mem mber of the State Senate and for any years has been on the ad visory board of the governor. I Nothing of moment has been un dertaken without Consulting him and he is eminently qualified in in every way to discharge the duties devolving upon the office. We, as cotton mill operatives need some one to represent our interest; and we can certainly find no one better fitted to do so than Col. Hoane.' There are more than fifty thousand cotton mill people in North Carolina and if we unite in voting for the right man, our influence will be felt For the benefit of those who may not be informed, I will say that in every voting precinct there will be held a primary elec tion to determine who shall be nominated. These primaries are held at different times in the several counties. Every qualifiea voter has the right to put in a ballot Let all mill men do their duty and the result will not be in doubt. I am not a politician, I do know Mr. Home personally; I have no axe to grind. I simply want to have the best man nominated. I have been in the cotton mills of North Carolina for fifteen years, have made a special study of the industrial progress of the State; and am satisfied that we can make no mistake in placing Col. Home inj the Govenor's chair. G. F. IVEY. Hickory, N. C. ■ / De Witt's Little Early Risers, te famous little liverpills. Sold by " C. M. Shuford and W. S. Martin. I '_- - .
