Under such treatment . the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and Increase .and multiply. i . Hyomei is the oolv sciantiflo and thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs in the air passages, It en ters the blood with the oxygen, de stroys the microbes la the blood and effectually drives from the system all traces or catarrhal poison. v - Thousands of testamohials have been given as to the astonishing cures made oy ims remedy.- J s, Nugent, treas urer of the American Union Life In surance company, of New York city, writes: "Hyomei has completely cur ed my daughter of catarrh from which she has been suffering for years." Probably the strongest evidence that an be offered as to the powers of Hy omei to cure catarrh is the fact that J. E. Hood & Co., will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. The "complete Hyomei outfits costs but 11. CJ and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, .a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.

With three bids In hand, two of which have guarantees back of them a fpurth bid for the lease of the A and N. C. is about to be presented to Governor Aycock. . The first information given of this new proposition was in a special to this paper sent from ; Morehead City, In which It was stated that Mr. W. L. W . a . . m m a jvenneay, pr. railing ureeic, was ar- ranging for a North Carolina syndi cate to lease the road. He is one of the State's successful business men and his name is a guarantee of business. Thts was confirmed yesterday when Mr. Kennedy come to Raleigh accon panled by two other prominent citi zens, these being Mr, E. B. Borden, of Goldsboro, known the State over as a most substantial citizen, and Mr. W. S. Chad wick,, of Beaufort, at one time president of the Allan tlo and North Carolina Railroad - These gentlemen came to confer with Governor Ayoock about making a proposition for a lease of the. road. In this they are not alone acting for themselves, but tor a long list of busi ness men between Goldsboro and New born. These three gentlemen are in a financial position themselves to lease the road, and with them are said to be such men as Mr. H. Well and Mr, Joe Rosenthal, of Goldsboro. No definite proposal was submitted to Governor Ayoock yesterday, but the indications are that in a fe days this will be done. The purpose of the con ference had with the governor yester day was to obtain his views upon the requirements of a lease, so that one might be submitted in acceptable form, with a guarantee behind it. . . This offer to lease if made, will be based upon the idea that as the com pany, behind it will be composed of business men along the road, that the road will be run so as to be of the greatest advantage to all the section it touches, and that it will have the warm support of the men who are stockhold ers, as these will also be large ship pars and receivers o! freight over it. . There are now three bids on hand for the lease, and these, with the fourth, if it ia presented, will be considered at the meeting of .the directors . ot the road to be held the first of September. It is possible that even other proposi tions may be submitted for the lease. The bids now in hand are: 1. The bid from Philadelphia made by Messrs. Delmas'& Wauicko. 2. The bid from the Atlantic Rail way Company, known as the Mills- Finlayson bid. Mr..W, W. Mill is, however, no longer connected with the bid made. 3. The Howland bid, this being that of Mr, W. S. Rowland, of Asherllle, i a millionaire whom it is said will great ly develop the road If he secures the lease. . - i For New Men. Kinston, Aug. 22, 1904. Mr. Editor: While we can say noth ing against our present board of coun ty commissioners, and we all know that they are good men, we do not approve of keeping one man in office all the time. We think four years at a time Is a plonty for a man to hold office. So let's go by (hat rale. Let no man hold ofilce but four years. Now I am going to mention some men for county commissioners that the I whole county knows will safely manage j our affairs. I know they will not want 1 tfao 'Glce. but the v are the men to out iaofflae. For chairman let's have J. W. Grainger and for the four others Thomas Worthlngton, S. H. Abbott, George West, the present commission er, snd C. W. Howard, Hub Davis. Now there is no man ho can doubt those men aa being safe. I know some will say they will not have ii; but if we elect them they will serve us. Let's not spilt up tho Democratic party by letting men. stay in office al ways, lam sure it will be the cause of many good Democrats leaving the party and they will see that it after it is too late.

Many boys and girls owe him for tbe success they have attained. He has given the best of his life to the development of good citizenship.
