I want to endorse those fine
views laid down in last week's
Democrat by my friend and fel
low-Democrat, Mr. E. L.Shuford
as a eood foundation on which to
build the Catawba County Demo
jcratic platform. I believe that
! every. Democrat and Republican,
too. for that matter, could readily
stand on such a platform. And
I want to say right here, too, as
I have said heretofore In the
Newton papers, that I think it is
high time that Democrats should
qtfit fighting each other, as it
may work great harm to the
party.S Just at this time there are
! great, as well as grand, issues at
| stake and there is a great oppor-
I tunity in these in the near fu
jture for us, both in the county,
! state and nation, if we will onlv
take advantage of it and work in
harmonv together.

One of the most startling changes
, ever seen in any man, according to W.
B, Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex., was
effected years ago in his brother. "He
had such a dreadful cough," he
writes, "that all our family thought
he was going into consumption, but
he began to Dr. King's New
| Discovery, and was completely cured
by ten bottles. Now he is sound and
well and weighs 218 pounds. For
many years our family has used this
wonderful remedy for coughs, and
II colds with excellent results." It's

Often The Kidneys Are

Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness and suffering,
f therefore, if kidney
trouble is permitted to
continue, serious re
sults are most likely
to follow. Your other
organs may need at
tention, but your kid
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire body is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its great merit.
The mild and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousands of the most distress
