| Ashley Home, the Farmer's and Business Man's Candidate |
". '. • fl
b We appeal to the FARMERS to support Ashley Home, to make him their candidate. Coming glgggg«l®gl |jj
b out of the war without a dollar, he now owns more land and he is the biggest farmer in Johnston
X county. He knows the farmer's life and his needs, and is pre-eminently the farmer's friend. Now g||| ||
X is the opportunity to make a successful farmer a successful Governor of North Carolina. The farm- i,
9 ers owe it to themselves to support Ashley Horne. - - ®p «
K We appeal to the MERCHANTS to support Ashley Horne. Beginning with only a pittance, to- |
a day he stands at the head of the line, and at his side door, perhaps, more bags of cotton are bought g
X and paid for than at any store in the State. |
K We appeal to the MANUFACTURERS to support Ashley Horne. In- these days of stress, of - t|
S idle men and idle factories, but few, if any, men are furnishing employment to more labor than does- g
| Ashley Horne, in the cotton factories, fertilizer factories and the various other industries with which he is associated.
S We appeal to the BANKERS to support Ashley Horne; President of one bank and Director of several others, no line |j
S of banking institutions in the State stands higher or has more assets in character, (the influence that pays dividends these o
x panicky times), than the Banks with which Ashley Horne is connected. K
x A man of clean life; a friend to education; a friend to the Elemosynary Institutions of the State; a friend to the poor jk
© man; a friend to his fellow man; one who deserves the confidence and love of every--man, woman and child in North v
n Carolina; we call upon every man who can vote to show his appreciation of his great worth and great work, and sup- o
X port first, last and all the time, Ashley Horne for Governor. K
x He has been a big success in managing his own affairs. Make him Governor and give him an opportunity of apply- k
© ing his fine business sense to the management of our State affairs. S

We have Just this one lesson to cov
•r all the events of that night from
the time they left the Passover room
Until the next morning when He wss
led forth to be crucified. There was
never a night like that in the history
of the world, when the Son of God was
than the vilest criminal
by the creatures whom He had made
and who depended on Him. or, rather,
were Indebted to Him, for every
breath they drew. Comparing the ac
counts In the four gospels, we gather
the following outline of events: The
discourse being ended, and the prayer,
they sang a hymn, probably some
portion or all of Ps. cxlil to cxvttl,
which, considered In this light, Is full
of wondrous significance. Leaving the
city and crossing the brook Kedron,
He entered Gethsemane, and then fol
lowed the prayers and the agony on
His part, and on the part of the disci
ples the stupor of sleep. Then follow
ed the arrest, Judas betraying Him by
A kiss to the band which he led to take
Him prisoner. Simon Peter would fain
have delivered his Master from their
bands, and, having a sword, he drew
it and did cut off a man's ear, but this
!Was not the way, and Jesus, having
remedied Peter's blunder, surrendered
Himself into their hands and suffered
them to bind Him and lead Him away
as their prisoner. Then all the disci
ples, even the brave Peter, forsook
Him and fled. They never could have
taken Him unless He had permitted it,
tor Just a word from Him sent the sol
diers backward to the ground, but this
was their hour and the power of dark
ness, and He yielded. They led Him
to Annas, the father-in-law to Calaphas,
first, and then to Caiaphas, the high
pr'ast, where the scribes and elders
.were assembled. Here many false wit
nesses testified against Him, but no
two agreed, yet they struck Him,
blindfolded Him, spit in His face and
treated Him most shamefully. Oh,
/what a night it was of cruel treatment
of the Creator by His creatures I
One of the worst things that night
iwaa the conduct of Peter, who, stand
ing without In the palace and warming
himself at lb* servants' fire, denied
*rlth oaths and curses that he ever
the prisoner. After they all foe-
sook Him Peter and" John returned,
and John, being known to the high
priest, went in with Jesus into the pal
ace, but Peter stood with the servants.
It was so that Jesus could see Peter
from where He stood, and as the cock
crew Immediately after Peter's third
denial the Lord turned and looked
upon Peter, and that look broke him
up and sent liim out to weep as prob
ably he had never wept before.
In the morning they led Jesus, still
bound, to Pilate, the Roman governor,
for they had determined that He must
die, and they came to compel Pilate to
execute Him. Pilate, having examined
Him, testified repeatedly that he found
no fault in Him. His wife also, be
cause of a dream which she had, urged
him to have nothing to do with Him
Learning that Jesus was from Galilee
and Herod being then In Jerusalem, he
sent Him to Herod, but because Jesus
would not work some miracles for him
Herod set Him at naught and mocked
Him and returned Him to Pilate, who,
finding Him again on his hands, made
a last efTort to release Him by offering
to release the worst prisoner he had or
Jesus, for it was customary to release
one prisoner at this feast To Pilate's
amazement they demanded the release
of Barabbas, and then Pilate delivered
Him to their will to be mocked and
scourged and spit upon and crowned
with thorns and killed. He bore it all.
and for me, that I might not perish,
and how much do I care? Does my
life show that I care, and to what ex
tent do I hate sin because it made my
Saviour suffer so? Turning to our les
son chapter, we note that, as David's
son Absalom rebelled against him and
caused him to flee for his life across
this same Kedron, so Jesus, Soa of
David, Is now driven forth by the re
belllon of Ills son Israel, but as truly
as David returned and sat on his
throne Jesus will return and reign on
David's throne forever (Isa. ixf 6, 7;
Luke i, 32, 33).
Jesus knew all things that should
come upon Him, and that made it all
the harder. What a mercy it is that
we do not know what a day may bring
forth! Let us leave It all in His hands
who loves us and never try fortune
telling. Every cup which the Father
gives us to drink is a cup of love, how
ever bitter it may taste. We are call
ed to follow His steps who when He
was reviled reviled not again, but com
mitted Himself to Him who Judgeth
righteously (I Pet il, 21-28; iv, 12-14).
When our hands are tied, as we say,
by those who love Him not and we
are Beemlngly hindered from doing
what we would like to do for Him, let
us not chafe or fret, but meekly sub
mit to bearing all He permits to come
and ask only that He may be seen In
us and His beauty be upon us. Even
if the guilty go free and the innocent
suffer, consider Him.
If falsely accused and all manner
of evil be said of us, remember
Mfttt. y, JO-12. Jitm never on an^
I account be found warming ou&elves
at the enemy's fire lest we grieve Him
and need such m look as He gave Pe
ter.

when everything else failed."

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as the
digestive iuices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such, a way as to produce
the rich, red blood that flows through
the veins of our body and thereby
makes us strong, healthy and robust,
and it is the weakening of these
digestive juices that destroys health.
It is our own fault if we destroy our
own health, and yet it is so easy for
anyone to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take
something take it promptly, but take
samethiug you know is reliable
—something like Kodol For Dyspepsia
and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant

give relief It is sold by W. S. Mar
tin and C. MShnlord.

What Do They Cure?
The above question is often asked con
cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi
cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" aad
"Favorite Prescription."
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery " is a most potent alterative or
blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura
tive way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
a large percent, of catar
rhal cafes whether 4je disease affects the
' nasal passages, the th*oat, larynx, bron
! chia, stomaensfas catarMtal dyspepsia),
bowels*(as bladder,
uterus or other pelvic orgSTrs-* Even in

Is a powerful yet gentTy aelifiglrivfgsrat-
Ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked women—no matter what
has caused the break-down, "Favorite
Prescription "will be found most effective
in building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.
A book of particulars wraps each bottle
giving the formulae of both medicines and
quoting what scores of eminent med
ical authors, whose works are consulted
by physicians of all the schools of practice
as guides in prescribing, say of each in
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
nave more weight than any amount of
non - professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non
secret, and contain no harmful habit
