BETTER GO SLOW.
We are very much surprised at
an article in the Times-Mercury
last week in which it advocated
Mr. Jeff Fry for County Commis
sioner. Not that Mr. Fry isn't a
good man, but it is generally un
derstood that the Couniy Officers
shall hold their respective cffice
for two terms. Mow do not get
it. into your head that the Re
publicans will elect any of the
officers in 1916, for the Demo
crats]are going to carry the coun
ty. However, if we are to have
a Republican County Commis
sioner let it be Mr. W. S. Stroup.

PARKER, N. C., MAN
, GETS QUICK RELIEF
W. R. Davenport Better After First
Dose of Remedy.
W. R. Davenport of Parker, N. C.,
long suffered from a peculiar malady
of the stomach, he sought treatment
with but little relief. At times it
seemed that he would have to give up
hope:^
He took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy
and found immediate benefit, ll'e
wrote:
"For years I have suffered from a
disease which puzzled doctors. They
termed it catarrh of the stomach,say
ing the only hope would be a change
of climate, and that in all probability
1 would never get well. Then I
heard of your remedy. One bottle
gave me instant relief. It made feel
likeanewman. Your full course of
treatments has about cured me. *ev
eral of my friends have also been cus
ed."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy give
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis"
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart
Get ohe bottle of your druggist now
and try it on an absolute guarantee
not satisfactory money will Le re

WHY YOU ME NERVOUS
Vhe nervous system is the alarm 6ystem
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is decline
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets iuto the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
