Steubenvoll Is the possessor of two bibles presented to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one of the bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text. ' This honored pastor in a recent letter to the Peruna Medieine Co., of Columbus, O., says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna: Tbe Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen: had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time, and all despaired of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it would save many from death every year." Yours very truly, RBV. H. STUBENVOLL. Thousands of people have catarrh who Would be surprised to know it, because it has been called some other name than catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh Wherever located; and another fact Which is of equally great importance, is that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Catarrh is an American disease.

"I have been connected with the Chicago Police Department for the past twenty-eight years. I can cheerfully recommend Peruna to anyone suffering from catarrh." Andrew Barrett.

He enjoys the confidence, respect and esteem of the people of Iredell and the Democracy of Iredell will gladly support him for any office to which he may aspire. He enjoys the coDfide&ce not only of Iredell but of this section of the State where be is hest known because he could always be depended on in every struggle for the party to which he has always rendered valuable service on the -tump and around thecouncil board. Since he was defeated before for judge in 1894 with all of the Democratic ticket, he has labored in the ranks aod unselfishly aided in promoting others and the success of his party. The State chairmen aod many of the county chaii men know how true this is. Perhaps no lawyer in this district practices in so many counties in the iistrict as be does, and he is there fore probably more intimately Known by the people and bar of this judical district tnan any of his broth- r lawyers. He is so eminently qualified for judge that it would be the just and appropriate thing for the Demo cratic judicial convention of this ustrict to nominate him forjudge f the district by acclamation. If fie distriet contention does this he 10th district and the State will nave a judge on the bench who can oe relied upon on all occasions and ho will be equal to any emergency. SUtecrille tandmark.

Mr. Long needs no introduc tion to the people of the district For eight years he was solicitor of the district and was an able and popular prosecuting officer He has for years been recognized as one of tbe leading lawyers at the States villd bar, as a gentleman of distin guished legal ability, enjoying a large and lucrative practive through out this section of the State, and whose reputation as a lawyer is State-wide. On the bench he would reflect credit upon himself and upon the people of the State Salisbury Sun. March 5. The Statesville Landmark says 'he indications are that Mr. B. F.

Hlairir Enterprise March 6. The Enterprise is glad to note the candidacy of Hon. iienjamin X. Long for the Democratic nomination for Judg -ship of this district. Mr. Long is no politician, and comes out only after most urgent appeals irom bis friends over the district, and it affords us no little uleasure that he has consented toae pi tKT. jj'"' tion if tendered nim. He v t;u nated in 1894 and was defea-ed with the baiance of the ticket at the polls under the Populistic wave. Since then he has labored faithfully for the party content to remain a private cituen, asking for no office, and wat ting no higher privilege than to apply himself to the demands of a lucrative law practice at his home in Statesville. He has been a hard studeut at law, and there is perhaps rot an abler lawyer in the State to day than Mr Long. He has every qualification for a Judge, is sober, upright, a man of intelligence and great strength of character. He de serves the nomination at the hands of his party, and Stanly will feel it an honor to give bim ner practicauy unanimous support. Mascot. March 13.

And at this time his uecision to stand for this nomina ion was made only after prominent men in all part of the district had urged him to come out as a candi date. Everything points to his nomination and election. Let's make the nomination unanimous and thus secure for judge of this dis tnet one of the strongest men in the State bar.

Raleigh Post. 20. The Baltimore News printed the following interview this afternoon: "Senator Simmons of North Caro lina believes the Democrats will elect a maj rity of the next House of Representatives and that they will enter the Presidential campaign wih charces in favor of election of their candidate. Asked why he en tertained these expectations, Mr Simmons said: 'Because the Democratic party is becoming united and because it shows a disposision to go before the DeoDle with issues that are sensible and ut to-date. The feeling in tbe party seems to be that it no longer chained uu: that it is no longer Tiitic- obligation to reamrm aoc iritjui which have been condemned by the people, and all the Demo cracts admit that the great question on which the party divided has been settled and taken out of politics.

It is in effect that during ail of March the sua is com ing farther north. J.oout cho twen tieth it shines directy on the Equa tor and the day is just as long as the night. The time of the old Jew ish Passover, and hence of our Eas ter. depends on this date. This lat ter always comes on the Sunday fol lowing the first full moon after the sun crosses the line.

It should he read bv every school committee man in North Carolina. "If good schools cannot be brought to the children of sparsely settled areas, cannot the children be brought to the schools? The experiment has been tried and it is found to be prac ticable to unite the weak schools of a scattered country settlement into one strong, well equipped, well con ducted, central graded school by conveying the remote children to and from their homes an public ex pense, and that, too at a cost less than that of maintaining a number of isolated and inefficient small schools " New York has a statute for con solidating rural schools, Wisconsin has a large number of consolidated rural graded schools. Maryland is preparing to create a stat ute for consolidation. Massachusetts for thirty years has transported chil dren to central schools. One dis trict saved $600 a year.
