Case of Poisoning
Hood's Sarssparilla Drives the Poi
son from the System, Quiets
the Nerve?, Relieves Dyspepsia
and Catarrh.
" While in the army I was poisoned in
wardly with poison oalc, and I did not get
well for 15 years. My blood became bo
affected that I was taken with a hacking
cough, and I was thought to be goinjj
into consumption. I took many different
medicines without avail, and finally re
solved to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. When
I had finished taking the first bottle the
pimples beeran to disappear Horn my
bo J v- and af tt-r I Lad taken three bottles
I was well. I have also suffered with ca
tarrh in the head and have been taking
Hood's ParsapErilla for this trouble, and
it helps me. In fact I take it for all ail
ments and believe it has no equal as a
blood purifier. It quiets the nerves and
gives refreshing sleep. It has relieved
me of dyspepsia and built me up." J. I.

In a Mudd e Over Tax Hooks.
It appears that the Commissioners
and Sheriff of Wilkes county are iu a
"muddle" over the tax books, which,
it is claimed, were irreurularl y turned
over to Sheriff Call. The delinquent
taxes had not been run up on the
books, as was ordered to be done sev
eral meetings ago. However, the
books were turned over to the Sheriff
and an order to that effect apjeared
on the minutes, though three of the
Commissioners say the order was put
on the minutes without their knowledge
or consent and they entered their pro
test on the minutes. There will proba
bly be trouble over the matter yet,
says the Chronicle.

WORK OF REPUBLICAN COUN
TY CONVENTION.
Kapp i-nl Wilson Renominated Mil
ler and Kerner Defeated Ijinney
Made a Speech After Adjourn
ment of the Convention.
The Republican County Convention
was called to meet at 12 m. Saturday
but it was 12:.r)0 when it convened. The
delay was caused by the bosses havinr
to caucus with a few of the "faithful
in the witness rooms.
"Brother John" Reynolds was the
"ring-master" and chairman Jessup
received his instructions before calling
the convention to order.
There was a bir crowd present but
many were there as spectators Demo
crats as well as Republicans. A few
Populists were also in attendance.
The bosses and delegates occupied
seats within the bar. Several colored
brethren were on hand. This is all
the recognition they get in Forsyth.
Chairman Jessup, not feeling equal
to the occasion, called upon Mr. J. T.
Benbow, of the law firm of Benbow &
Hall, to act as temporary chairman.
It might be stated that Mr. Benbow is
a native of Yadkin and that he spends
most of his time in that county. He
stated the object of the meeting to
nominate candidates for General As
sembly and county officers.
The Secretary called the roll of town
ships. He then stated that all were
represented and that there were no
contests.
The Chairman stated that this being
true he did not deem it necessary to
appoint a Committee on Credentials.
On motion of John Reynolds, the
temporary Chairman was made per
manent, rxiitor Hall, of the Republi
can, was elected assistant secretary.
On motion of John Reynolds, Edgar
Lineback was endorsed for the nomi
nation for State Senator.
Messrs. W. A. Lowrcy, of Kerners-
ville, and James Carter, of Belews
Creek, were nominated for the House
of Representatives.
sheriff Kapp and Clerk of the Gouri
Wilson were renominated by acclama
tion.
Three candidates were put in nomi

was declared the nominee.
Iveson Crews and J. J. Kerner, of
Kernersville, were put in nomination
for County Treasurer. Crews got the
plum, he receiving votes and Ker
ner ;$.5v
J. W. Jones and Dr. Linville were
enominated by acclamation for Sur
veyor and Coroner respectively.
Ed. T. Linville, Joseph Ueeson and
A.Vance were "named for County
Commissioners.
Shortly after the Convention met it
was discovered that the "bosses"
iixed the slate in the caucus held prior
to the Convention. The Chairman
appointed Lieut. Gov. Reynolds and
Edgar Lineback to escort Congress
man Linney into the Court-room.
the Convention was then declared
adjourned. While awaiting the ar-
lval of Congressman L.inney, some
one called upon G. W. Hawkins, col
ored, to make a speech. He respond
ed and announced that he was again
n line with the Republican party.
LIXNKY'S SPEECH.
This writer has heard the "Bull of
the Brushies" make several speeches,
ut his effort Saturday was the weakest.
He labored hard but his sieech fell
Hat. Many Republicans left the room
shortly after he began speaking. The
Congressman made no direct allusion
to the insurgents. He stated that there
were not enough offices for all the Re
publicans.
He eulogized McKinley and his ad
ministration for the victory won dur
ing the recent war with Spain. He
complimented Duke for giving $400,
000 to Trinity College, but he failed to
tell his hearers that Mr. Duke is a
member of a trust and the money was
made out of the poor farmers. He
also referred to the gift f Peck, an
other Republican, to the Vance monu
ment fund, but again he omitted to
state that the giver was a member of
the great oil trust.
" i ou may throw me out," said l.in-
ney, "but you may not get one who
will watch your interests so closely as
your humble servant."
Liinney rode his "old hobby" fair
elections and ballot box. Not a word
was said about 5 cent cotton during
his entire speech.
May Postpone Their Trip.
Mr. S. E. Hough, the photographer,
was arranging to take a trip in No
vember with his brother, Mr. E. K.
Hough, formerly of this city, now of
lew York, to either forto Rico or the
British West Indies. On account of
yellow fever in the first place and
cyclones in the latter they may post
pone their trip. Mr. K. K. Hough was
going in the interest of bis health.
A Sudden Death.
Mrs. Charles Reavis, aged about
seventy-eight years, died suddenly
at Hamptonviile, Yadkin county on
Sept. 11th. bhewas as well as usual
Sunday evening. The girl with whom
she was sleeping found that the eld
lady's feet were cold some time after
retiring and tried to arouse her.' She
drew only one or two breaths after
the discovery.
Death of a Good Man.
Mr. Allen Crater, one of Forsyth's
good farmers and highly esteemed cit
izens, died last week at Crater's, a
few miles west of Wiuston. He was
about 62 years old and had been sick
some time with typhoid fever. He
was an honored member of the New
Philadelphia Moravian church. The
funeral services will be held there at

Especially valuable to women is Browns'
Iron Bitters. . Backache vanishes, headache
disappears, strength take the place of
weakness, and the glow of health readily
comes to the pallid cheek when this won

A RIOT ATST. LOUIS.

OTHERS WOUNDED.
I Precipitated by Striking Plasterers-
Mounted Police Responded to Riot
Call and Were Met by a Fusl
lade of Bullets Arrests.
St. Louis, Sept. 1.5. Striking plas
terers precipitated a riot today in the
western limits of the city, in which
William Lane, a non-union worker,
was fatally shot and three others se
riously wounded. The mounted po
lice responded to the riot call and
were met by a fusilade of bullets from
the strikers. The police replied with
a number of shots and charged the
crowd, disiersing them and resulting
in the arrest of Nat Brown and Joe
Lee, who are thought to be the ring
leaders. CAPT. GLKNN IN PKNDKIt.
He Makes a Fine Speech at a Big
Democratic Rally.
The Democrats of Pender county
had a big rally on Sept. 12, at But
gaw. Fifteen hundred people were in
attendance, many of them being Popu
lists. Eloquent speeches were made
by Messrs. John D. Bellamy, W. II.
Kitchin and Capt. R. B. Glenn, in the
order named.
The Wilmington Star gives an ex
tended report of the meeting. The
two concluding paragraphs are given
below:
The best and last speaker was Capt.
R. B. Glenn, of Winston. It is need
less to say to those who have heard
"Bob" Glenn, or who know him by
reputation, that he made a rattling
speech.. It was characterized by every
phase of oratory. Eloquence, pathos,
argument, stinging sarcasm, wit and
humor made up a combination that
carried his audience tiy storm. Gray
haired men, beardless boys arid
charming girls all joined in the cren-
erous and, at times, tumultous ap
plause that shook the Courthouse
building "from turret to foundation
stone. "
Mr. Glenn said that there would be
no election this year for Governor,
but he wished to God we had a Gov
ernor to elect, so we could get rid of
the present ineumljent who had brousrht
disgrace upon the State.

Republican State Executive Comittee
would put up a candidate forjudge in
that district. This means that Mr.

This Is Good News !
A Southern Railway official tells the
Raleigh News and Observer that he
has good reason to believe that the
Reidsville-Kernersville link will be
built at an early day.
The Ga3tonia-Mt. Mourne link, he
thinks, will not be built for sometime
yet, probably several years. Con
struction of the Reidsville link will do
away with the necessity for a double
track between Salisbury and Greens
boro, and will make the through line
a few miles shorter.

Salem's public schools opened last

TERRIBLE HURRICANE
STRIKES WINDWARD GROUP
OF ISLANDS.
First Reports Were Not Kxaggerated
Impossible to Aggregate Dam
age at This Time Some Por
tions Completely Devastated.
London. Sept. 15. Advices this
morning show that the first reports
regarding the destruction of life and
property by the hurricane which
swept Barbudoes, St. Vincent, St.
Lucia and other Islands of the
Windward group, were not exagger
ated. Iudeed, as appalling as the de
tails are, they fail to present an ade
quate idea "of the terrible havoc
wrought by the storm. The estimated
los of life is believed to le far short
of the actual number killed, while the
number rendered homeless is greater
than at first stated.
The aggregate damage to property
cannot he estimated even approximately-
as the winds, rainfall, tidal
waves anu landslides have completely
devastated the country. It is believed
the dead at Kingston, capital of St.
Vincent, which was totally destroyed,
will reach three hundred and the num
ber of homeless will reach twenty
thousand. The British man-of-war
Alert went to sea to escape the storm.
There is heavy loss to shipping Guad

TWO N EGROES CAPTURED.
Irviii Royal and Jim Patrick, Who
Broke Jail.
Irviu Royal, one of the four negroes
who escaped from jail Monday night,
September 12th, was arrested Tuesday
near Dan river, beyond Walnut Cove,
by Constable Joe Lewis, of the latter
place.
Rom Lewis, the assistant jailer, who
was knocked down in the jab by
Royal, went out to the Cove on the
N. & W. freight train Tuesday after
noon and returned with his prisoner
on the passenger train at H:4l). Royal
made several attempts to get away.
Ollicer Lewis found the pistol on Royal
which he took away from the assistant
jailer. The negro tried to pawn the
pistol yesterday to David Boyles, of
Stokes.
ft is said that Royal, as soon as he
;ot out of jail, took the road for Ger
lanton. He went down the C. F. &
Y. V. road to Walnut Cove yester
day.
He will now have three charges to
answer for at the next term of court

Constable Lewis found another
negro with Roval and lie arrested

arrying a concealed weapon.
Sheriff Kapp received a teleirram
Thursday from Martinsville, in
forming him that Jim Patrick, one of
the negroes who escaped jail here
last week, was arrested by one of
the policemen Wednesday night, Sep
tember 14th. Jailer Masten went after
Patrick on Friday and returned with
the prisoner that night.
FROM ON K OF FORSYTH HOYS.
Only the Olliccrs Wuiit to Go to
Cuba Their Reason.
One of Winston's business men re
vived a letu r last week from a sol
dier bov at Jacksonville. He savs
that lie is like !). er cent, of the First
North Carolina regiment ready and
anxious to come home especially
Company C and the members don't
feci that their patriotic principles are
owered the least bit by such a wish.
The only men who wish to go to Cuba
are the officer i and tins is on account
f the big salaries they are receiving.
The writer adds that they get very
poor meat. Their ieef comes from
Texas, a istate noted for raising "hair
and hide," but very little beef. Con
tinuing, he says: "I want a chew of
tobacco so bad I am afraid I will
chew my tongue off, as stubs of Pal
metto are too drv and hard."
Most of the boys are quite well;
some are looking badly, while others
are as fat as pigs but all are longing
for home and the soil of old North
Carolina, and a good drink of pure
water. The water there is sulphur.
Onexf the soldiers caught a big
possum in the swamp on Sundav.
Such is camp life.
BIRDS ARK P 1j KSTI F U Li.
Why Not Invite Sportsmen from the
North?
The bird hunting season will soon
be on and it is reported that there are
more partridges this year than usual.
This means that the sport promises to
be fine when the season opens.
If people who have comfortable
homes in good shooting sections
would let the fact be known through
out the Northern States, they would
attract sportsmen who would beard
with them, to the mutual advantage of
all concerned, bportsmen are good
fellows, too, and make the best of
good company. Some of these North
er men, wno come down ssoutn dur
ing the bird hunting season, with their
fine guns, can hardly hit a barn door.
It is the outdoor life and novelty of
the thing that catches them, and they
don't mind paying for the pleasure
oi it.

Will the Postal Come Here?
Last vear
Postal Tele:
it was talked that
jrraph Co. wanted to
the
ex-
tend its line from Raleigh to Win
ston-Salem, but that the Southern re
fused to allow the Postal a right of
way along its line. The telegraph
people entered suit and the Asheville
Citizen says that Judge Simonton has
hied his opinion in the case in whicn
he holds with the plaintiff and directs
that commissioners be appointed to
assess damages in accordance with
section 1W4.J of the code of xsortn
Carolina.
The plaintiff sought to condemn
right of way along the line of the
Southern in certain counties of the
State in which, the Postal Company
desired to erect poles for a parallel
telegraph line. It is presumed that
the case will be appealed.
Will Not "Sport" With It.
The Reidsville Weekly says that the
stealing of Rev. Dr. H. A. Brown's
baptizing suit and a collection plate
Irom tne .r irsi uapiisi cnurcn, recalls
the experience of Dr. B. F. Dixon,
when he was supplying the pulpit of
the Methodist church at Statesville
several years ago. A suit of clothes
was stolen from him and the genial
divine announced that if the gentle
man proposed to enter the ministry it
was all right, but if he took his clothes
to sport in he would kick. It may
afford "Mr. Brown some comfort to
know that the thief will hardly attempt
to sport in his baptizing suit.

SHOT TO DEATH BY CITIZENS.
A White Man Named Puckett, for an
Attempted Assault.

On Monday he was taken from the

X gentleman who form all v lived in
Patrick county tells Thk Skntinkl
that the trouble occurred near Friend's
Mission, about ten miles from Mt.
Airy. He says onlv one man has
I teen hung in Patrick and the slowness
f the courts, he thinks, is resnonsible
for the action of the men who killed
uckett.
From another source it is learned
that Puckett, about a year ago, was
discharged from a prosecution for
house-break ing upon the pica of lunacy.
He was sent to au insane asylum, but

m-on going at large.

to assault the two ladies Puckett, was
