Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical T)icoverv main tains a person's nutrition by enabling one to eat, retain, digest and assimilate the proper nutritious food. It overcomes the gastric irritability and symptoms of indi gestion, and thus the person is saved from those symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache, etc., which are so common. A tonic made up largely of alcohol will shrink the corpuscles of the blood and make them weaker for resistance. "This is to certifV that I have used Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, think it's the grandest medicine in the world," writes Mrs. V. M. Young, of Weir, W. Va. " I had dyspepsia In its worst form. I decided to try your med icine. I used five bottles, and now I am doing my own housework. A number of my friends also are using Dr. Pierce's medicine and they recommend it highly. May God bless you in your grand work." Dr. Pierce believes that a tonic made with alcohol will shrink the red blood corpuscles and make the system weak for resistance; that is why he avoided the use of any alco hol or narcotics in his "Medical Discovery," which contains the pure extract from roots and herbs without a particle of alcohol. Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing "just as good " for dyspepsia or debility. Biliousness is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

We should consider which side of the question weareon.wheth ter for the cauae of the Protective Tobacco Growers Association or not. Clubs have been formed in the coun ty and other counties In North Caro Una and Virginia for the protection of tobacco larmers who are depress ed and completely parallzed financial ly as relates to having a say in the price of his tobacco, lie haa had no say In It since the formation of the American Tobacco Company which la detrimental to the Interest of the farmers.the depreaslon getting worse every succeeding year. . G rowing to bacco below the cost of production, makes tenants and slaves of our wlfea and children as well as our selves. Low price tobacco makes the manufacture and American Tobacco Company rich with millions of capl tal, a large part of which should have remained In the hands of the grower of the raw material to en able him to hire labor to protect his wife and children from alavedom The farmers of Granville county and North Carolina are the big wheel that cause all the machinery of the coun ty and State to move. You depress the farmers in the price of his produce you proportionally depress and crip pie every other business in the coun ty. Talk about education when the average farmer has to keep his large boye and often his girls home to sup ply the needed labor on the farm, the very poor children not going to Bchool a day during the session for want, aa the parents say.respectable clothing. The American Tobacco Company and other manufactures of tobacco have withheld from the far mers of Granville county on the price of tbelr tobacco the total amount for twelve years, the time that the American Tobacco -Com pany has been organized, would have macadamized the principal roads of the county and have put the far mers and everybody who came In di rect contact In a prosperous condi tion, free from mortgages on their crops. God in hla allwlse wisdom has or dained that man should work out hla own salvation In temperate or material tnlnga aa well as spiritual. He has given you a right to choose who you will serve God or man more and according to the book God is always on the side of right and the oppressed and against the op pressor. Brother tobacco farmers, I ask you In the name of duty to make a wise choice. Of coure you desire to do and be on the aide of what la right, just and equitable. I appeal to you to consider the situation and act at once' as It la a needy time with we farmers. Our Tobacco Growers Pro tective Association Is organizing cluba afl over the blight tobacco belt ol Virginia and North Carolina and we want to enlist every tobacco far mer In the bright belt by the 1st day of August and get ready for the new crop eo we can control the price of our raw material or leaf.

Final Attack con For A FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR. STORY. January 15lh, 186S. Copyright, 1906, toy G. L. Kilmer. 1 TTORT FISHER, N. C, the most III powerful earthwork in the Con jf federacy, was carried by a bold assault on Jan. 15, 18G5, after a heavy naval bombardment. The Fed eral transport fleet sailed from Fortress Monroe Jan. 6. The force was led by Major General Alfred H. Terry and, numbered 8,000 men. Terry's orders were sealed and were to be opened when he was out at sea. His destina tionwas not known to any one In the army or navy, except those who had to know it. Terry himself was Ignorant of it until he broke the seals of his In structions out at sea. In these instruc tions he was told to communicate free ly with Admiral D. D. Porter, com mander of the fleet which was to co operate in the attack, and seek to have entire harmony between the army and navy in the expedition. Porter had a total of forty-eight ves sels, which he formed in three lines, with a reserve. During the night they anchored off Fort Fisher, and on the morning of the 13th the New Ironsides ran up to within 1,000 yards. Some of the Ironclads reached as near as 700 yards and got into position under a heavy flre. The landing of Terry's men was covered by several vessels not en gaged in the bombardment. The troops went ashore on the seabeach about five miles above the fort and hetween it and the intrenched camps of General Bragg's Confederate army of Wilming ton. By 2 o'clock p. m. the Federal troops and stores were safely landed, and General Paine's colored division pushed forward to Cape Fear river, THE NAVAL COLUMN the other side of the peninsula. Here a line of defenses was begun In order to repel any advance of the Confeder ates from Wilmington. It was seen that the flre from the navy was doing much damage, and an assault was de termined upon for th afternoon ef the 15th. Terry was to send in three bri gades In columns of a brigade front to storm the land side, while 2,000 sail ors and marines should assail the works on the sea side. The Confederate garrison of tie fort numbered 1,500 men. General Whit ing, Confederate commander of the de partment of North Carolina, had en tered the fort from Wilmington on the 13th, after the hostile armada and troops appeared, and had told the com mandant, Colonel Lamb, that he and his command were to be left to their fate, for General Bragg was looking for a position to which to retreat and would not aid in defending the fortress. The preparations for assault were discovered in the fort, and aa attempt was made to confuse the Federal co umns by firing grape, but the storms of shot that swept the works from n-rv vy guns cut down the Confederates' cannoneers at an appalling rate, and it was evident that the danger could only be averted by hand to hand struggles on the walls. At 3 o'clock promptly the signal for assault was given by the noise of more than fifty steam whis tles of Porter's fleet, and the land col umn sprang forward to the charge. General N. M.' Curtis' brigade had the lead in the charging line and push ed forward to the northwest bastion, near the river. The Confederates were seen to man the parapets the moment the naval fire ceased, which was done to allow the Federal troops to move up. Colonel Lamb Judged by the soul stir ring whistles that the hour, had come, and he desired to receive the assail ants on his torpedoes as soon as they reached the walls. Leaving instruc tions with the commander of the north west front, he went to the angle of the works where the naval column had been sighted, fearing that at was the vital point. The sailors had landed successfully and halted beyoad rifle range under cover of the sand .hills that formed the surface of the beach. The men were in one long line and made a formidable show, deceiving the enemy into the belief that this was the main assault and dividing his garrison. At the signal the sailors moved down the beach, sheltered by a line of sand hills, and fhen turned squarely upon A Creeping Death. Blood poison creeps up towards the heart, causing death. J. E.

But the batteries farther down the Confederate line could sweep the stretch of beach, which at that point was nearly half a mile wide, and the muskets in the fort did terrible ex ecution. Three cannon in the fort poured canister into the assailants, and both General . Whiting and Colonel Lamb stood on the parapet cheering the men at their work. The foremost body of sailors was nearly annihilated. The present commander of the north Atlantic squadron. Admiral Robley D. Evans, was an ensign at the head of sixty-four men. He was wounded four times, and all but ten of his followers were killed or wounded. The sailors were unaccustomed to land maneuvers and very soon showed the seriousness of this defect. Their officers, among them the gallant Lieu tenant W. B. Cushing, rallied and led them as well as possible, but the for ward columns halted under the walls of the fort, lying down to escape the fire from above, and the rear columns on closing up did the saici The delay thus caused was fatal. The Confeder ates were cheered by the sight of a sort of panic that had seized these nov ices in war and turned away to receive the land column, which was announced to be close at hand by the sharp mus ketry and the booming of grape shot ted guns on the, north front. Simulta neously Whiting and Lamb saw in that direction three of General Curtis' battleflags on the ramparts adjoining the northwest bastion. Curtis' advance had not been without difficulty. At places the hollows in the sand were filled with water, and this CHARGING V UP THE BEACH. nad to De waued tnrough, at some points waist deep. The fire from tho fort was scattering, but when the pali sades were reached they could not be scaled and had to be cut away. When Curtis' flags crowned the breastworks the division commander, General Ames, who was up at the front, Imme diately ordered Colonel Pennypacker'i brigade to his support, for the first sue cess was no more than a lodgment. The stronghold was in the shot proof chambers, where every foot of ground could be disputed, and to the defense of them the Confederates rallied. Gen eral Whiting, moving down the line from right to left, had led some men to the first chamber, held by Curtis, and succeeded in recovering that and the adjoining parapets, although be receiv ed wounds that cost him bis life. Colonel Lamb had gone outside the parapets in order to get a view of the distant parts. He found the front cov ered with assailants and also discover ed that his torpedo wires had been de stroyed by the navy shots that had plowed the sand many feet deep, and these terrible weapons were useless. But the garrison was fighting bravely, and Lamb cheered them with the hope that the fort could be held until dark, when Bragg would come to their aid from Wilmington. His sharpshooters cut down all the Federal color bearers and the hostile flags vanished from the outer walls. The traverses which Inter sected the parapets every few yards now became barricades, over which the combatants fought, often at arm's length. The Federal naval column was out of the fight entirely, and the guns on the vessels kept up a steady flre along the sea face wall, where the sailors had been repulsed. Gradually taking a wid er target, they poured their shots into the active Confederate batteries. Thi greatly demoralized the garrison, anr! the assault was rapidly pushed by the remainder of General Ames division. Some of the sailors on leaving the ground where they charged on the sea face had gone north into the works of the land column. Here they were form ed into parties to defend the trenches against a rear attack on Ames, and all of the troops of the army were sent down to the fort. A desperate struggle over the parapets and traverses was maintained until 10 o'clock at night, the Confederates making a heroic de fense until overpowered. The conclud ing features of this remarkable fight will be described in a succeeding article. GEORGE L. KILMER.
