one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the contsitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars

The Morganton Herald prints
from a California paper the con
fession of C. R. Snipes who 11
years ago killed John Brittain in
Burke when all had been drink
ing from a jug of moonshine.
A letter from his wife told him,
soon after he fled, of the birth of
a little girl, Laura, named for
Snipe's mother. He went back
from across the continent, and
took a look at little Laura by the
light of the moon on a lonely
road. Then he went off again
but the desire of the little 10
year old girl to see her father,
of which his wife wrote him, has
led him to give himself up. He
claims his killing was done in
self-defence.

Mrs. foodroi filsoa Has De

A CONFUSION 8F NAMES
Wife of Democratic Candidate Gives
Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on
Smoking Habit.
New York. —For the first time since
Woodrow Wilson t«»me the Demo*
cratic presidential candidate has Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She attended in
person her husband's dally conference
with reporters, although heretofore
she has made special requests that MS
be not quoted nor written about in the
papers.
What Mrs. Wilson wished to have
fully understood was that If "h® be
comes the first lady of the land she
will not, at has been said in a widely
distributed interview, package*
of cigarettes in her personal desk at
the White House and Indulge In smok
lng them with her caller*. .
Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wil
son asked that publicity be to a
letter she had written to the editor of
the State Journal at Columbus, 0.,
repudiating an alleged interview with
her in which she defended cigarette
smoking for women. The interview
nad come to her in S letter signed
"American Citlsen." whioh said:
"Dear Madam—l can ecaroely think
of any greater calamity to the young
women of the nation than to read such
a preachment as your interview offers
tnem. I am a worklngman, and I see
men lose their Jobs almost ovary da*
because they are incapacitated for
worlr by the use of the oigarette. If
smoking does this for strong men
what will It do for girls and women?"
The "interview" was indeed a cor>
dial indorsement of the woman smok
er. Here are some sf ita assuring
phrases, all credited to Mrs. Wlleon:
"A woman writer for a syndicate of
Sunday newspapers asked Mrs Woodr
row Wilson if she agreed with Ger
trude Atherton's opinon of the smok
ing of cigarettes by women. She smil
ingly exhibited three cigarette boxes
piled in the corner of her desk, all but
empty.
" 'Why shouldn't a woman smoke It
she enjoys it?* she queried.
" 'Why hasn't she just as much right
to a cigarette as a man Certainly 1
agree with Mrs. Atherton that any
existing prejudice against women
smoking is to the last silly and ab
surd.
" Smoking cigarettes is a question
of manners, nft morals. It promotes
good fellowship.
" 'Some women feel that a cigarette
calms their nerves and helps their
brains into working order. -Personally
smoking diffuses my thoughts instead
of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I
enjoy after dinner coffee. Both ars
pleasant ways of ending and finishing
off; both add to conviviality and good
fel'. iwship.'"
The editor of the Ohio State Journal,
It was clear, had besn much Incensed
at the apologies for the cigarette habit
among women attributed to Mrs. Wil
son, as he wrote eh Aug. 10 an edito
rial in which he ealled for the defeat
of Governor Wilson or a repudiation
from his wife. If there was ne mis
take about it, hs wrote, "Mrs. Wood
row Wilson shouldn't hs mistfsss of
the White House."
If the Ohio editor VM emphatli
Mrs. Wilson WM oertalnly not lest DO.
After the reporters had said they
would gladly publish her letter to the
Ohio editor she asked for an hour's
time In which to write one. This was
what she prepared:
"Dear Slrv-I have just received a
copy of the Journal wltfe your edito
rial entitled 'Smoking Women,' and I
beg leave to deny indignantly the
statement that I approve of women
smoking cigarettes. The interview
upon which your editorial was based
is a pure invention. I Intensely dis
like the olgarette smoking habit for
women—in fact, so strong is my feel*
Ing on the subject that my real danger
lief; in being unjust and unkind In my
judgment of those who differ with me
in this respect
"But oertainly no woman in our
household ever has or ever will smoke,
i.uite apart from the bad taste of It, I
believe with you that it has an ex
tremely injurious effect on the nerres.
"ELLEN A. WILSON.
("Mrs. Woodrew Wilson.")
Governor Wilson, la approving the
letter sent out by Mrs. Wilson, offered
what he thought might prove an ex
planation for the interview.
"I do not think it was maliciously
Invented," be said. 'There is a rather
well known writer who sighs herself
Mrs. Wilson Wood row, and she no
doubt has been confused with Mrs.
Wilson."
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow was formerly
married to a relative of Governor Wil
son, and it fs understood that her
views on the matter at women who
smoke are different from tbose held
in the household of the Democratic
candidate.
