Treating Wrong Disease.
Many times women call on their family
physicians, suflering, as they Imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, Bother with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their eMy-rVng
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, p
arate and distinct diseases, for which tie,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only fympUmu caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, encourages this prac
tice until large bills are made. The suf
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolqnved misery. It has been
well said, tu base known is half
cured."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a
scientitlc medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to womah's delicate system.
It is made of native medicinal roots and
Is perfectly harmless In Its effects in any
condition of the system.
As a powerful invigorating tonic "Fa
vorite Prescription " imparts strength to
the whole system and to the organs dis
tinctly feminine in particular. For over
worked, "worn-out," "run-down," debili
tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers,
seamstresses, "shop girls," house-keepers,
nursing mothers, and feeble women gen
erally. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being un
equaled as an appetizing cordial and re
storative tonic
As a soothing and strengthening nerv
ine "Favorite Prescription " is unequaled
and is invaluable in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability. Irritability,
uervous exhaustion, nervous prostration,
neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St.
Vitus' s dance, and other distressing, nerv
ous symptoms commonly attendant upon
functional and organic disease of the
uterus. It Induces refreshing sleep and
relieves mental anxiety and despondency.

Special Term of Court For Lyerly
Murderers
Special to Journal.
Raleigh, July 16. Col. Arrington,
private secretary to Governor Glenn,
who is absent in Atlantic City, has or
dered a special term for the trial of the
alleged murderers of the Lyerly family
at Barbers Junction, Rowan county
Monday July 30th is the date named
for the trial and Judge B. F. Long will
be on the bench.
The crime mentioned above is one of
the most atrocious acts in criminal his
tory of ths State. Early Saturday
morning Isaac Lyerly, his wife, son
and daughter, were murdered; their
skulls being crushed by an axe. The
building was then set on ' fire in an at
tempt to cremate the bodies. Two
children who escaped the murderous
attack gave the alarm and four negroes
were arrested on suspicion. When
taken to jail the authorities had hard
work to keep the crowd from taking
summary vengeance. The evidence
against the men under arrest is circum
stantial but it is believed they are the
guilty parties.
Another Newbernian Robbed
For the past few days several burg

well remembered here.
"Friday night of last week one-half
a jar of chewing gum was stolen from
the cigar stand of Bryan Gardner at
349 Pine avenue. The value of the jar
was $2. At night Mr. Gardner, who
is better known as Shorty, places a

Reported Engagement of Gov
ernor Stokes of the North
ern State and Miss
Annie Dudley.
.- Green.
There was quite a little ripple of ex
citement in the city yesterday over
rumor that Governor H. J. Stokes of
New Jersey and Miss Annie Dudley
Green are engaged to be married. The
first inkling of the news came to the
Journal in a telegram from th North
American, a newspaper published in
Philadelphia. To verify this report the
Journal representative saw the young
lady's father, Mr. George Green. He
said that the news was the first inti
mation he had received and was not
able to give any information beyond the
fact that the Governor had been very
attentive to her during her visit in
Trenton, some two weeks ago.
Miss Annie is visiting friends at
Boonton, N. J., and Mrs. Green is also
out of town; consequently it is impos
sible to verify the report The an
nouncement must have been made
through the press as it is so implied in
the two telegrams received by the
Journal.
An amusing incident which occurred
at the unveiling of the New Jersey
monument last year when Governor
Stokes was a guest of the City of New
Bern. Governors Glenn and Stokes
were on the speakers stand at the Na
tional Cemetery. Governor Stokes had
finished a beautiful and eloquent tribute
not only to the soldiers whom they had
come to pay honor to, but to the State
of North Carolina, .and his words of
fulsome eulogy were taken up by Gov
ernor Glenn who is a master of repartee
and the latter said that every word
that our distingushed guest had said
was true and he would add that the
Old North State had brave men and
beautiful women. He would further
more state that Governor Stokes was a
bachelor and he would be welcome to
any of the fair daughters of the State
of North Carolina. It now seems that
Governor Stokes has accepted Caro
lina's offer.
Governor Stokes made a fine im
pression on his visit here and he made
many friends, although stopping here
but a Bhort time. He has a strong
place in the hearts of his people and is
a man who has the confidence of the
people. ' He is reported to be very
wealthy and a very successful law

The Public Put Wise as to
- When a Man is Good and
Mellow. ; -v
It has sometimes been a matter re
quiring much learned discussion and sub
tie distinction to state a person is
under the influence of liquor. It has
even been a task for the courts to say
what can be accepted as evidence that
a man has been put in an irresponsible
condition on account of absorbing too
much booze. It varies with different
persona as some can drink more than
others without getting drunk. '
Judge W, S. O'B. Robinson, the well
known lawyer and wit of Goldsboro has
come to the rescue with a rule that
will work every time. It is a poetic
version but now the less valuable as a
rule to be guided by.
' Here it ia:
He is not drunk who from the floor
Can rise again and drink once more,
But only he who prostrate lies
And cannot either drink nor rise.
