We learn this will be one of the duties of the next legislature tc consider this question which will, I am Informed be presented by a petition of tbe people of these three counties. . To The Democratic Voters of Craven County. The many frlenda of Sheriff J. W. Blddle desire to present his claims to the voters of Craven county for renomtna- tlon and reelection. The county has never had a better officer; he is courte ous, accommodating, faithful and In every way thoroughly competent. When a vacancy occurred In the office of Sheriff, on account of the resignation of ex-Sheriff Elnsey, the Board of Com missioners endeavored to ascertain two things: first, who was tbe most compet ent man In the county for the office, and second, who would be most acceptable to all the rotors of the county.. They finally selected Sheriff Blddle as they were satisfied that he filled these two qualifications better than any othor man in the county. He has only been in of fice a part of one term, and It would not seem right to refuse to endorse his ad ministration the first time he comes be fore the people.. The people are fair and just and would not Intentionally dis honor any man without cause. . It has been claimed that all of the candidates are from the town of New Bern except one. This Is not strictly correct; three of the County Commissioners are from the country, and two yean aso No. Township had a most excellent candi date for Register of Deeds who would have been elected If , his own township had supported him properly. Sheriff Blddle was born and raised at Fort Barn well and lived there until the war came on, when he entered the service of the Confederate States and waa a moat gal lant and faithful soldier. The people can not do too much for the men, who auf. fared and fought for the South during the war. Of all the candidates upon the ticket Mr. Blddle is the only representa tive of the soldier rote. It Is true a man ought not to be selected to fill an office because he was a brave soldier, but when ha is In every way competent, the peo ple ought not to forget such services as these, i While Mr. Blddle lives In New Bern, he was born and 'raised In the country and still owns the lands Where his father Hred before hlmw , we ao not wish to disparage any other candidate,- as all the candidates for office In ' this County are good and true men, whose; past services to the Democratic party merit recognition and entitle them to aspire to any office in the County; But we do say -that we do not wish to east any reflection upon Sheriff Blddle by refusing to elect him when he hu only served a part of one term. We hare never heard of an In stance where a good man capable and Competent, who had been appointed to the office of Snerlff hu not received the nomination at the hands of his party at the succeeding Convention, h -.: lm submitting the 7 claims of Sheriff Blddle to tin people' of Craven tsountv we are only actuated by a desire to see Justice done to a good officer, and we bsve every confidence that the people of Craven county will treat bherlff Blddle at the coming Primaries.

They take medicine for sick headache. They take medicine for nervous prostration, for palpitation of the heart, for dyspepsia. None of these medicines do any good because they do not reach the cause of the complaint. Jfenma at once mitigates all these symptoms by removing tbe cause. Systemic catarrh Is the trouble. Sys temic catarrh pervades the whole sys tem, deranges every organ, weakens every function. No permanent cure can be expected until the systemic catarrh la removed.
