MR. POU'S HORK IN CONGRKSS. A BrifJ Review of What Our Congress man Hjs Pone (or His Constituents. Mr Kdward W. I'ou, of Smitb tield, lite HeUioci iuc nou.iuee lor Congress in toe roattli I< strict, is scrviug hi* tuird term it-, a member of the National House of Representatives As is well known be wasunanimously nom inated at Raleigh last lulv for a fourth term. This uoiuioutiou in itself, c imii.g as it did, with out opposition, is sufficient proof of his efficiency as a Representa tive iu Congress. Young and am bitious, able and e inset vat ive. energetic Hid fearless, Mr. I'ou has made a record in Congress of whom any district might he proud. Not merely as the in mine* of t he I Vino f a tic roll vein .ion is Mr i'ou ;?mk 1 Ijlor t lie vot** o( t bis district bu h.-? is al *0 u-king the Mlippor of he ,ie< iple ? ? ? i tlin rec ord in I'nh.': >s. iirieliy let us review L - ecord- a record ul nervine fo. ?iis coin*' ituente ami the people 01 tie I .!Pd States Mr. I'ou was fV Oft man in Congress to introduce u bill to investigate the corruption fund* of both political parti*s. When Air. Cruuipacker introduced a resolution to reduce the number of Representatives ttie Southern States had in Congress because of the alleged intimidation of the negro vote, .Mr. i'ou came for ward with a resolution to ap point a committee to investigate to what extent votes were pur chased by the use of money all over the Foiled States. This resolution never became a law, but it put a quietus ou the move iueut to reduce Southern jepre sentation. Since he has been in Congress Mr. I'ou lias secured the estab lishment of 1 10 rurul free deliv cry mail r.mten in this district, thus giving to about 40,000 people liviug in the country e j daily mail six days in the week. This j* *'I untold benefit to our people- it increases interest in our national life, it stimulates the reading habit, it encourages education and instills new life into our educational system. VYheu Air. foil was tiret elected to Con grese titer*' were only three rural leliverv mail molts iuoperation, in the entire district, serving per baps but little over 1,000 people with a daily mail. Note what he has doue for his constituents aloim tuts line. And he is better prepared jow thun ever before to serve the people At the last s"ssiou of Congress Mr. I'ou secured an appropria tion to purchase a site for a pub lic building in Henderson. This site has already been bought and paid ior, and it is c uitidently ex pec ted that an appropriation to construct a handsome Govern ment building will be made at the next session of Congress. It takes hard work to get Congress I o appropriate inonev for Gov ernment buildings in sinal1 towus in the South, and hut for Mr. strong efforts Henderson might have bail to wait some years yet for a public building. One of the things done by Mr. I'ou iu Cougress which called forth much praise was his bill forcing the street cars of the city of Washington to vestibule all their cars so that the motormeu would be protected against the cold, sleet and rain For ten years bills have been introduced time and again to accomplish this humane legislation, but they wvre pigeon-holed in committee room* and nerer brought t<? a (vote. The bill was championed by Mr. Poll and passed exactly as he drew it, and President it xiferelt eaid he signed it with a jgreat deal of pleasure Mr. Poti received a vote of thank* from | the u^itoruieii of Washington City, and labor union*- all over j t he country tieortilv commended | mm for the victory he had won i tor the workiugmeu Mr I'ou ha- not only taken part in all of the important de imtcM which have taken place on the floor of the House. but he has al jo tried to do thinos for the people of hi- district. He has -eut, to the farmer* of hie district every year more than 25,000 packages of vegetable and flower -eede, and probably twice that number of public documents, farmers' bulletins, etc. He has promptly answer d a' | ett? r- re reived, not only from Democrats tnit. from Republicans a? well lew requests, if uny have ever been made of him as a Repre sentative during his stay in Con gress that have not been com plied with. In t hree campaigns the speech es which Mr. I'ou has made upon the floor of the House have been reprinted by the Democratic Congressional Committee and circulated all over the l otted States. This is considered in Congressional circles one of the highest testimonials of a man's ability that can be accorded to a Member of Congress. Several hundred tbousano copies of his last speech have been re printed by the Committee and distribnt ed, and t hey have been compelled to give the second order to the printer because the first order lias been exhausted. As is well known, the work of Congress is largely done in the committee rooms. The new Mem ber is always put at the tail-end ol the smull committees, and j therefore can have but little, if any, influence in the matter ol j legislation. My reason of Mr. l'ou's service in the House he I now has three excellent coininit I tee assignments?Committee ou ! t he Hint-rid of Columbia, Com mittee ou Reform in theCivilSer vice, and the Committee ou the Revision of Laws. The Commit tee ou the District of Columbia is one of the biggest and most im-1 portaut committees in the House. Mr. Pou to ranking Democratic Member of the Committe ou Re form in the Civil Service, which is also a most important commit tee, and if the Democrats carry tiie House he will be Chairman of that Committee. Resides these three committee assignments, Mr. i'ou has assurance that hej will be appointed a Member of the Committee on i'ostoffices at j the beginning of next session. This latter committee is one of; the three big Committees of the] House, and will give Mr. I'ou an opportunity to render greater) service to the people of this dis-! t riot. Mr. i'ou is stronger in the dis | trict than he has ever been. The j people of Johnston County ought j to vote for him out of county pride, not only because he has j made us u faithful and efficient j Representative, but because it is t he first time in about fifty years thatJohuston County has had a Democratic Representative in Congress. Of course he will be elected by an overwhelming ma ; jority, and the people of his home county ought to rally together | ? and give him a large vote. How He Became Smaller. An Arkansas paper tells a story of a man who was caught out in the woods during a storm. He didn't want to get Wet. aud the only dry place he could find was a hollow log, into which he man aged to crawl. The rain lasted a couple of hours, wuen the fellow j decided he had better be go-; ing home. He tried to estri- j cate himself from the log, but the soft wood had swollen aud he couldn't budge a peg. There, alone in the desolate wood, many miles from the nearest habita tion, the poor man lay for hours thinking of all the mean things he had done, when all at once it suddenly dawned upon him that he had read his home paper three years without paying for it, and thee refused to take it out of the post office. It made him feel so small that he crawled right out of the log through a knot hole. ? Fxehauge.

Butler Has Betrayed Every Party. There is one thing, if DOthiug else,that should deter any decent Democrat from deserting Lis old party and joining the Republican party in this State. and that ih the fact thai the Kepublican par l ty in North Carolina is now com pletely dominated and controlled i by Marion Dutler. Duplicity and deceit have mar iked the political career of Duller co that uobod.v cau have any Confidence in him, and no respec Lable man should be willing to : be led by him. He has betrayed every party he has vet belonged to and in due time will betra.v the Republican party. It is amazing that he snould be able to deceive anybody in this State any longer.? I'ittsboro Record. Letter to J. A. Campbell, Smlthfleld. N. C. Dear Sir: If we sell L)e\oe to paint your town, your road won't liave so much freight to handle. It takes 10 gallons to paint a fair size house, and that house won't want painting again for 5' or 10 years. That's true in a way; but people, you know, lather like fresh paint, and they paint for nothing but looks some times. That house would take 12 or 13 gallons of almost any other paint than Devoe, ' and would have to be painted again in half that time. Ten years is a very long time for a paint to wear; and five isn't short. Which makes the most freight, a 10 or 20-gallon paint? 5 or 10 year-paint? But the 10-gallon paint is the 10-pear paint; and the 20 gallon paint is the 5-year paint. Which makes the most freight? Ask your paint-dealer which he'd rather sell, and which he could sell most of. Ask your painter which he'd rather paint; whether good or bad paint is good for his business; which is good paint, the 10 or 15 gallon paint; which i>ays most freight, and which pays most wages. Which will you buy yourself, the 10 gallon 10-year, or 20-gallon 5 year, paint? Yours truly, h'. W. DbVoe & Oo. I' S : Sinithtield HardwaroCo. sell our paint.

Tlio glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce'* medicines greatly enhances the medi cinal properties which it extracts and holds In solution much I letter than alco hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of Its own, being a valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Oherrybark. Golden Seal root, Stone root and Quean's root, con tained in "Golden Medical Discovery" in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recom mended by standard medical authorities. In all casus where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with Weak stomach, as in the early stages of oonsumptlon. there csn be no donbt that glycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stooe root, Queen's root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up the flesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, it must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in Its earlier stages. It will cur* very severe, obstin ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn geal troubles, and chronic sore throat with hoarseness In acute cough# it is not so effective. It is in the lingering coughs, or those of loug standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from j lung*, that it has performed its most marvelous cures. Staid for and read the little book of extracts, treating of the | properties and uses of the several med icinal roots that enter into Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and learn to hp I thb medicine has such a wide range of application tn the cure of diseases.

"I wish I could Induce every mother who has a weak, sickly child to try that delicious cod liver prepar ation, Vlnol. Our little daughter was pale, thin and sickly.

I THERETIS A REASON FOR CHEWING I REYNOLDS' SUN CURED TOBACCO Lhewers becoming tired of heavily sweetened sun cured tobaccos caused REYNOLDS' SUN CURED to quick ly win from the old brands of much longer standing the place as favorite with sun cured chewers, because it contains just enough proper sweetening and fla voring to preserve the quality of the leaf and enhance its goodness, causing a large increase in the demand for sun cured tobaccos. REYNOLDS' SUN CURED is not only pure sun cured, but it is made from choice selections of the genuine sun cured leaf grown where the best sun cured tobacco grows. It is like that you formerly got, costing from 60c. to Si.00 per pound, and is sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. plugs, and is the best value in sun cured tobacco that can be produced for chewers.
