Sept. 14 Pellagra claimed another victim in Durham yesterday in the person of Mrs. J. M. Matthews, who died at her home on Railroad street yesterday afternoon. The mysterious disease manifested it self in its most virulent form in the latest victim who had been ill for sev eral months. She was only twenty flve years old. The physicians who had her case in charge declared themselves unable to cope with the disease on account of the great hold it had taken upon her. The funeral took, place this morning, being con ducted from the home at It: 30 by Rev, W. C. Barrett, pastor of the Second Baptist church. Robinson's Circus In Town. The big event of the day, not only from the standpoint of the small boy, but from that of many grown-up, was John Robinson's circus, which gave two performances today with a large free parade. Excursions on three of the roads helped to swell the crowd that thronged the streets. The Norfolk ft Western excursion from South Bos ton, brought about five hundred and the Seaboard coming from Hender son carried extra loads. The Durham & Southern, which arrived at 12:15 also carried extra cars filled with country-folk along the line who had taken advantage of the cheap rates to witness the great free parade and the startling stunts beneath the large tents.. The parade was there with all its traditional glory. A mile or so of gilded chariots drawn by horses in glittering' harness, and carrying the painted plerettes of the tented world high in the air on bewildering tapes tried seats. The inevitable steam piano was there, too, to render the at mosphere hideous with its cacophonic medley, and to attract in its rear the usual horde of genus pickaninny of all sizes. The accounts of those who went have it that the circus is much improved this year and that the per formance lacks none of the hair-raising feats and animal features which have made Robinson a household word in the south. The twenty-odd carriers of the Sun were given free tickets to the circus and they enjoy ed themselves immensely. Funeral of Mrs. Wooten. The funeral of Mrs. J. C. Wooten, whose body was brought here from Wilminplon Monday afternoon took place ' yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, from the Memorial Methodist church.; The services were conduct ed by Rev. T. A. Smoot, of Wilming ton; Rev. H. M. North, of Raleigh, and Rev. M. Bradshaw, of Durham. The burial took place in Maplewood cemetery. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Oneof the most touching of these was a large wreath sent by the students of Trin ity College as a body, by whom Mrs. Wooten was held in high esteem. The floral bearers were: Messrs. Vick, Hedrick, Eller, E. L. Jones, Leonard Hurley, Pratt, and White Ruark, all of the student body. The ' pall-bearers were: Profs. Prooks, Cranford, Edwards, Newsom, and Mr. Breedlove, of the faculty. , The untimely death of this well be loved woman has cast a gloom upon the whole college community which will not easily be dispelled. The col lege flag still floats at haW mast as a reminder of the sad occasion. Classes which have been suspended until after the burial were resumed this afternoon at 2 o'clock. : A picture of the Hrnt IVinisjlvaiiia Kailrond nniii to u..fe Uu borough of Mauluittaii for Long; Lslmid by way of tunnel from the new IVnnsyl viinia station in Xew York the largest in - the world under the Kast" River.

The Chamber of Commerce Has Meeting (Continued From Page One.) ed and marking out plans for further development. The things which have been done are compassed in the ad mirable report of the chamber's effi cient secretary, who will himself give you the details at this meeting. In that report will be found evidence of Raleigh's astonishing growth and a splendid record of achievement on the part of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Our organization has had a large share in the making of this chapter of progress. It has been our aim ana it saouia always ue our aim to regard this chamber as the open forum for the people of Raleigh, a place where every citizen may propose, condemn, sanction, or discuss any movement for the benefit of the city. Here, is the common ground where suggestions are to be offered, grievances aired, enterprises launched, and these are welcomed alike from those with means and those without means, from young and old, from long-time residents and new comers. This thought must be pressed home to those who would see Raleigh go forwards-whatever makes foi the good of the city as a wiiole makes for the good of every man, wo man and child in the city. The indi vidual, then, must see that he is ben efited when the community thrives and that he cannot shirk the respon sibility of helping those who are try ing to help him. "The noblest mo tive is the public good." The most important matter con fronting us at this moment is that of membership. The number of mem bers is not sufficiently large, and it has seemed difficult to induce even some of our most public spirited citi zens to come in and give us their aid and counsel. We ought to have a large and enthusiastic membership. During the past three weeks special effoffrt has been made to urge new members to join and a campaign for four hundred has been inaugurated. This would put the chamber on a firm financial basis. The response has given some encouragement, but it is not what it should be. I commend this problem to your careful consid eration. During the past twelve months I have been in close touch with the work of our secretary, Col. Fred A. Olds, and I am impelled to say that if you take a search the country over you could not find a more competent man for this office or one half so well suited to your needs. 1 I happen to know that he has received flattering Inducements to go to other towns and states, but he does not wish to leave Raleigh, and I have persuaded him to agree that he would give up all his other work, devoting his whole time to this chamber and to the task of exploiting the city, provided we make it possible for him to do so. With the assistance of the Retail Merchants' Association, an organization that is doing great things for this city.-1 am prepared to say that the matter may be satisfactorily arranged. Here again comes up the question of mem bership. With a long roll of paid-up members the thing is done. I leave it to your judgment to decide whether it is not advisable to .retain the ser- WHEN YOUR FOOD DOES MOT DIGEST well and you feel Vblue" an(l tfred and discouraged, you should use SIMMONS ' RED S : LIVER REGU L A T O R : ; (THE POWDER FORM) , It opens the bowels, sweetens the stomach and strengthens the -digestive organs.

No organization, lodge, so ciety; or church, can succeed unless its members are promptly present at meetings. Thut really marks the dif ference between a live and a dead or ganizationattendance. There is great need now for each one of you to be a really active member. Raleigii has done big things in the past live years; think them up and see. But the' next five will show still greater growth and it will be a tremendous satisfaction to see ;thnt you had a hand in it. In conclusion, allow me to say that 1 consider it an honor to nave been the presiding officer of this body. My predecessors in this chair have been men who stood out in the community, who would stand out in any com munity as possessing character and ability, and, while 1 have fallen ''far short of the standard they -set, I feel glad that I have had this opportun ity of being associated with them and with you in the work of building up my native city. Respectively submitted, H. A. ROYSTER, ' President. Secretary Old's Report. , : Secretary Fred A. Olds' report was a most extensive report and we re gret we cannot give it In full, but will quote the following: The year 1910 has been a record, and its progress, though at times slow, has been steady, and its affairs, public and private, are on a sound basis. : The growth it is now making is of a substantial sort and the out look for 1911 is for even greater things. . .,; The city administration has press ed the work of improvement, though handicapped by lack of funds, but municipal affairs are on a very sound basis and the debt is far smaller than of most other places of similar size in the country. During the month .of August the representative of one of the greatest corporations in the world was the guest of , the Chamber of Comerce, having come particularly to view Ral eigii and its suburbs. Your secretary was able to answer all the scores of important questions asked and to set out the city's many advantages in the most practical and pleasing way. The result is that the expert has rated Raleigh A No. 1 as an investment point, this applying not only to city, but to the country properties near here. This is another evidence of the impression Raleigh is making upon the business world. The assessed value of property has increased to 12,000,000 from y 19,000,000 in 1907.; . . City Engineer Seawell reports that the total mileage of ,streets is, fifty six, there being nine miles of macad am pavement, a mile of granite block, a mile of asphalt under construction, sixty miles of paved sidewalks, twenty-seven miles of sewer mains. There are over two hundred street electric lights and these under a sew contract made between the city and the Caro lina Light and Poker . Company, are to be replaced by the magnetite light, the latest type and the most brilliant, and no city will be more ef fectivey lighted. The City has install ed an electric street sprinkler at a cost of $5,300, and this is of great value. .' " , The most important street cotr struction of a permanent character made in years Is that, with the Peter Company for laying the principal bus iness streets with asphalt, the. con tract being to the amount of $45,000 and extensions- are to be made. ' Secretary Olda stated that one of Raleigh's greatest needs is a large weekly pay roll . aad that to secure this there must be more manufactur ing plants. The railways announce that they intend to give Raleigh a great deal of publicityln future, be ginning this autumn. SonWspeclally attractive advertising Is befhg done this month la a very extensive publi cation, .under the auspices of the Norfolk-Southern" 'Railway. . Special advertising matter is being distribut ed with cale at the Ohio Valley Rail way Exposition at Cincinnati,,; The secretary has prepared a special story about Raleigh to appear in the au tumn number of the Outlook, the ex tremely .attractive- weekly paper is sued by Mr. Leonard Tufts to adver tise his famous resort, Pinehurst; this number to have a great circula tion throughout New England. The secretary will prepare other articles about Raleigh, to appear in later is sues of that paper. . Secretary Olds announces that the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York City, one of the greatest companies in 'the world, has passed upon Raleigh as an investment point and finds it first-class, its expert, Mr. Cornell, having come here and gone over the wiiole situation with Sec retary Olds so far as Raleigh and the surrounding sections are concerned. This announcement by the company through the Chamber of Comerce is very important to Raleigh and opens an avenue to people who. may desire to promote enterprises, erect build ings, etc. , ' ' -; ' ' Directors Appointed. President Hubert A'. Roystei' today appointed the following directors ot the Raeigh Chamber.;, of Commerce and Industry for the year ending 4u pust 31, 1911: Albert Anderson, Joseph G.

Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women, v '. ;. :j- Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to ' worsej knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to. shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult " a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. ,. - : u;:MR3. FiNKHAM!S STANDING INVITATION: '-. Women sufferingfrom any form of female weakness arein ; vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this . confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never , has she published a testi monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun dreds of thousands, of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink-. ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed ' fn your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be, glad . to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

The inflamma tion, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that local applications have no permanent effect toward healing the ulcer, shows that deep down 'in the system there is a morbid cause for the sore. Btit raorb convincing proof that bad blood is the cause for these places is furnished by the fact that even removing the sore or ulcer by surgical operation docs not cure; they always return. Nature will heal any sore if the blood is pure and healthy, but until the circulation' is clcansewj. of all impure matter and supplied with nourishing and plasniic qualities the infected condition of fio h i: OBLIGED to remain.
