He begged that we stand solid for Democracy, for the up-building of the State's interest, for higher and better citizenship, and that form of government which is the most ideal, from the fact of its being founded upon a rock as solid as Gibralter. North Carolina has been blessed in deed with good Christian Governors who have dared to stand for all things good. Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the Civil War, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: "The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dollars to nie. I spent much money doetoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well." 50c. at E. T. Whitehead Company's drug store. Notice.
