The Honest
Stuff
It's the honest stuff that nine-tenths of the people are looking
for; the honest stuff, honestly priced. There is little or no satis
faction in buying the makeshift sort of merchandise, it may look
as well at first but it hasn't got the staying qualities. You may
think you have saved a dollar or a dime, but time proves the trick
and you find that your supposed economy was no economy at all.
This store is filled with honest stuff at honest prices. Suppose you
try it that way.

when foreign nations sent men to study

study their commissariat or their hospi
tal and sanitary arrangements. They
seem a most intelligent race, who see no
reason for allowing men to die of water,
food, or care, when the object for which
they are in Manchuria Is to die in driv
ing the Russians toward the north. Ja

as to cannon. Sue calculates that five
hundred thousand soldiers who are
properly cared for equal two million
subjected to canned beef and typhoid
germs. She real! zee how great a part In
war is taken by the bacteria, What a
contrast, what an inspiring catholicity
is presented by the Japanese officer
leading the world In using his miscros
cope as a weapon and the same Japanese
officer dying with cheerfulness and
living with the aplrit of religious devo

set for us all by Japan s? far has been

Congressman Thomas Delivers
Stirring Address.
The Career of Ibe Republican Presi

the Eyes of the Voting
Public A Splen
did Effort and
a Good Re
snlt.
There was a little disappointment
shown at the Court House last evening,
when Judge W S O'B Robinson, who
was scheduled to engage in joint debate
with Hon C R Thomas was not and
would not be present at the meeting to
sreak. It was expected that be would
surely be here, hut late yesterday after
noon Mr C B Hill received a felt-gram
to tbe effect that on account of sickness
'he judge was unable to come down. A
good sized number, however, was gath
ered to hear New Bern's brilliant son,
Hon C R Thomas, ray his respects to
the Republican party's candidate.
Mr Ernest Green introduced the speak
er and announced also the circumstance
of the absence of Judge Robinson. Mr
Thomas expressed the hope that he
would be given the opportunity of meet
log Judge Robinson here.
He liked the Idea of having a joint
political discussion for the reason that
the two sides were given to contrast or
compare the merits of the parties Invol
ved. Of the long list of places prepared
where these debates were to be held,
Judge Robinson had appeared at just
four of them. More thsn a dozen ap
pointments having been missed by the
Republican candidate.
There was a time in the history of the
world, said the speaker, when tbe great
army of Philistines gathered to defeat
the army of Israel, when the giant chitm
picn defied the forces of the Lord and at
that time there was one man, a mi re
youth, whose well directed weapon,
caused the dlscsmforture l tc hosts of
the enemy by the death of the champion
In the Intrepid and valiant leader, Alton
B Parser, the Democratic party Lave

the Gollah Roosevelt
Hs paid a compliment to his political
opponent by calling him clever but he
represents the principles and Interests
of the Republican party and being that
he can not bi any better than they
are.
This Is not a campaign of personali
ties. Nor me the personal characteris
tics of the candidates to be considered
The question in this campaign Is the
fair and square discussion of the princi
ples that each party stands for. Men
make the party, the nation and the is
sues. Men constitute the state and after
tbe vital Interests are considered the
kind of men who have been chosen as
party standard bea.ers ought to be given
a little attention.
Speaking of the Democratic Conven
tion at Greensboro , he made a compari
son between the gi eat assembly of 5,
000 members of tbs Democratic party
and the Republican convention which
he described as a cowd of federal office
holders interested In but one thing and
that being to continue their party in
power.
He said he waa not criticising the Re
publican party of yesterday, the party
of McKlnley, but we are fighting Roose
velllsm. Judge W P By num. a prominent Re
publican of this State said of his own
party in North Carolina: "If Federal
office holders continue to control In this
State, no self respecting man can take
part In politics.
The two National conventions were
then compared. The Chicago conven
tton was spoken of as a out and dried
affair which bore the mark of Roose
veltlsm In every act. They merely went
through the form of noflslnationbowed In
meek submission to the high potentate's
desires. At 8t Louis a few days litter
was gathered the brains of the nation
determined upon methods to put the
affairs ot the country on a better
basis.
It was a time when masterful minds
like those of William J, Bryan and
G rover Cleveland united in the choice of
Alton B. Parker to represent the princi
ples of Democracy. Parker waa spoken
of ts a man who has united the factions
of the party by his wise and prudent
conduct his Inspiring words and sterling
worth. He had secured the support of
the Independent precs of New York,
which is a powerful factor for any can

for a space of nearly two hours.
OYSTER LAW VIOLATORS
Virginia State Board Fisheries Will Pro-
tect Oyster Icdattry From
Ruin.
Virginia Pilot 27th.
At the meeting yeBterday of the sta'.e
board of fisheries the oyster situation in
its entirely wai gone over, there having
been quite a dlssussion regarding the
depredations of the oyster laws which
threaten to cripple If not eventually
kill the Industry miles, the legislature
corrects tbe abuses, Drastic sctlon will
llkely.be recemtntnded to eradicate the
evil.
From time to time there have come
reports of violations of the cull laws
that is, the taking of tbe oysters from
the natural rocks out of season and be
fore the young bivalves have had a
chance to mature.
It has been alleged that certain parties
who lo irc rocks inside the Baylor sur
vey go out of their territory end take
the young oysters, which are brought to
Norfolk and other places and sold, and
that when the police boats approach the
violators scury bsck to the lease grounds
so that It Is difficult for the officers to
secure convictions.
A number of local packers appeared
before the board and made complaint
regarding the violations, statlug that
the supplies have been greatly reduced
and that the quality of the oysters has
been greatly impaired. Some of the
packers, it has been stated, have been
dned by the Inspectors for purchasing
the oysters under size.
The meeting between the board and
packers was entirely harmonious. Noth
ing was given out regarding the steps
to be taken by the board looking to
stopping the violations, but It Is under
stood that the attention of the legisla
ture will be called to the serious state
of affairs. The board was frank In
stating that It would like to see the cull
laws enforced, and the packers urged
legislation.

A Remedy That No One Is
Afraid To Take,
Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
has been used in thousands of homes for
fifty-two years with perfect confidence
and the most remarkable results.
The great success of this remedy is due
to the fact that its formula (which con
sists of Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake,
Yellow Dock, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla,
Gentian, Senna and Iodide of Potassium)
has been freely published.
Doctors and Druggists everywhere do
not hesitate to recommend a preparation
which they know contains the best
known remedies for correcting all irreg
ularities of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood,
end the diseases caused by the failure of
these functions to perform their proper
work
Thousands of sick ones to whom life
has been a burden liave written grateful
letters that others might profit by their
experience.
Blooming Gkovb, Tux., Nov. 18. 1902.
I'wns suffering terribly with indigestion an
kidney trouble and sent to ray druggist ft
and
for
sjmetiuuff to relieve me.
As lie sent nie a package of Dr. Thacher's
I. tver and Blood Syrup I concluded to try it,
and now I am deeply grateful to my druggtat
as well as to you.
I had been a sufferer from these things and
a general run-down condition for ten years,
nud had only received temporary relief from
other medicines. But after using not quite two
packages of your liver and Blood Syrup I reel
as stout and hearty as 1 ever did in my lire, and
I am satisfied that I am entirety cured. I feel
no symptoms whatever of kidney trouble, and
my digestion is as good as any living man's.
1 can now eat whatever I choose.
I never had any remedy give me such quick
and permanent relief, and I can not put a cor
rect estimate on the value your medicine has
been to me. 1 would not take any amount of
money for it. Very gratefully yours
J.C.BROWN.
If you nted a medicine write to-day for a
free sample bottle and "Dr. Xhacher't
II, nil h Boolt."
Give lymptome for advice.
We Hmply aeh you to try it at our s
