Death of an Infant
Lucy Isoline, infant daughter of
John Hopkins and his wife Annie
M. died Sunday morning at the
early age of three months and
twenty days, she was a bright pre
cious child, the idol of the home,
and it was sad to have to part with
tbe little darling so early nfter its
entrance into the household where
it had so graciously endeared itself.
But God knows best, and He gath
ered the bright little bud and took
it to his own garden, where He
Himself fiiay watch over it, till it
shall bloom and blossem into rich
est perfection. The funeral exer
cises were conducted from the home
on Monday afternoon by Rev. Geo.
J. Dowel!, and the little white
casket containing the dear little
body was deposited in the Hopkins
cemetery, where it will sleep In
undisturbed repose until Jesus snail
call for it on the morning of tbe
resurrection. T'ae parents have
the sympathy of many friends who
were present to sympathize with
them, in the less of thei» child.
Alabama, Florida, North Caro

Tecnes-see. Twinges of rheuma
tism, backache, stiff joints and
shooting paint all show your kid
neys are not working right. Urin
ary irregularities, loss of sleep,
nervousness, weak back and sore
kidneys tell the need of a good
reliable kidney medicine. Foley
Kifcey 'ills are tonic, strengthen
ing and restorative. They build
up the kidneys and regulate their
action. They will give you quick
relief and contain no habit" form
ing drugs. Safe and always sure.
Try them. Saunders & Fowden.
Hurt by Engine
Mr. Eli Rodgerson, of Bear
Grass Township, was painfully
hurt on Tuesday morning by be
coming entangled in the shaft of a
gasoliue engine which was being
used to ruu a peanut picker. Dr.
J. H. Saunders was summoned and
fouud the unfortunate man suffer
ing intensely from his bruises and
lacerated arm- It seems that the
clothing of Mr. Rodgerson was
caught in the shafting and he was
thrown around and thus received
Tiis injuries. The engine was s.top
ed as soon as possible and the in
jured man removed to his home.
"Tells the Whole Story." To
say that Foley's Honey & Tar
Compound is best for children and
grown persons and contains no
opiates tells only part of the tale.
The whole story is that it is the
best medicine for coughs, colds,
croup, bronchitis and other affec
tidns of the tniroat, chest and lungs.
Stops la grippe, coughs and has a
healing and soothing effect. Rem
ember the name, Foley's lioucy &
Tar Compound, and accept no
substitutes. Saunders & Fowden.
Mr. Bond of Edenton
The appearance here of W. M.
Bond, or Edtnton, on Tuesday
uigbt, was.awaited with interest by
both the friends of Senator Sim
mons and Gov. Kitchin. Mr.
80n37 of Edenton, who is oue of
the foremost lawyers in the East
and a man of splendid character,
has been advocating tbe candidacy
of Senator Simmons in many places
in the State. He was here by in
vitation of Simmons' frien-ls who
were asked to divide time with
Albion Dunn, elector for the Hirst
District and an advocate of Gov.
Kitchin, but the request was de
nied
The speech of Mr. Bond, of
Eienton, woiiM hev>-'v-H *?
have b?en delivered before an uu
dience who was not in the least
versed in ancient historv, and in
cidentally in tbe historic evi nts
connected with Edunton, whers
Mr. Bond was reared. OIK T .UQHT
a glimpse of Cjluuibus, the I).jkt
of Wellington, Mrs. Suiratt,
"Mar yann" Butler, the Third 1' iriv
and the sainted dead whose quiet
repose has made Kdknton .>-o;l the
Westminister of the Western
World. His audience was au in
telliget.t one, uud probably liad
learned all those things in history
in the common schools of NV>rth
Carolina. What every one wanted,
and failed to get, was an explana
tion of why Senator Simtnous bad
voted with the Republicans so of
ten. The Kitcbin adherents, who
are fair-minded, were anxious to
hear both sides of the great ques
tion agitating tbe entire State.
They heard only a slight reference
to Mr. Simmons' attitude on tbe
questions which have been upper
most in the minds of tlie Nation
with*® the last four years. Instead
be attempted to fix in the hearts ol
his hearers that Mr. Kitcbin bud
never done a thing in all bin life
but eat at a free lunch counter,
bad sought to keep the heel of the
negroes on the necks ot the white
people of the Kast. To this latter
charge, he returned repeatedly, HO
that it became laughable to thosi
who bad known all about the con
ditions of things in the trying time
of Fusion rule. He abused Col
lier's Weekly, but failed to mention
the fact that William J. Bryan had
said time and time again that Mr.
Simmons w.s not the man to re
present tbe great State of North
Carolina. This and other impor
tant things in the campaign now
waging, were passed silently, by
the m*an, who himself aspired to sit
at tbe free lunch counter, av he re
fers to any office held by Honorable
W. W. Kitchin, Governor of North
Carolina, but found that he was
not Bond enough to put the Small
man out of buiiness.
The speech wa« a disappoint
ment to the friends of Senati.r Sim
mons, who had hoped to hear his
coi'rse ably deluded. It made
friends stronger for the Governor,
who in his address here several
week ago, spoke intelligently of his
candidacy against Senator Sim
mons.
J. K. Cotton, 1303 No Market
St., says. —"I heard of Foley Kid
ney Pills and took them for my
case of kidnev trouble. After tak
ing them a few days the pain left
my back, my kidneys act.»d regu
larly and the annoying bladder
trouble was cured. I glaaly re
commend Foley Kidney Pills."
Saunders & Fowden.
Dan J. Joyces Sanville, Henry
Co., Virginia, sajs:—"l took a
cold with a cough which hung on
for two years. Then I comenced
using Foley's Honey & Tar Com
pound and the cough finally left
me and now lam perfectly strong
and well." Is best and safest for
children and contains no opiates.
Saunders & Fowden.
Help Save the Country
On Tuesday next, the fate of the
Nation for the next four years will
be decided at the polls. The fiee
men of these United States will
then decide whether they shall
wear longer the yoke of oppression
placed upon their necks by the
high tariff Republican pnrtv, and
whtjcli haj grown more oprcssive
wirh each administration.* Shall
we be the puppets of the money
tru-.t ind (iniquitous tariff leaders,
whp are just lining their own nests
with the small earnings of the
masses, which go to purchase the
common necessities of life at fabu
lous prices, or shall we throw off
the burden of Republicanism and
help the ps-«sj>le m!»> This de
cision can be made at the polls, on
Tuesday bv every voter in this
w b.;it land.
Woodrow Wilson stands for the
nil* of the masses, for freedom
from burdensome taxation which
cunch the rich and euipovcrish the
laborer. Me is leadei of pure
Democracy, the very essence of
whuli makes for the rale of the
people ami overthrow of tbe money
powers which are dominating the
Country, making us slaves to do
their bidding A vote for Wood
row Wilson and Thomas Marshall
will be a protest against the slavery
of the masses. It is the duty of
every North Carolina Democrat to
work .aid vote early for the man
who alone stands for a government
of and by the people. The sigus
all point to tbe election of our
National ticket, but even in defeat
it is good to feel that you stood for
the honor and integrity of your
country. Tomorrow is Wilson
Day. Remember to do your best
and be ready for the opening of the
polls at sunrise Tuesday morning.
Some Good Tobacco

all that he has made splendid sue

to cultivate, cure and care for the
weed, and second because he sold

crop at home.
A Mitchell, a geural merchant
oe-tr Bagdad, Ky., writes Us: —"I
think Foley Kidney Pills one of
the kidney medicinestheie
is. My daughter was in terrible
shape with kidney trouble aud 1
got her to take it. She is comple
tely cured now. I think it one of
the greatest medicines made."
Saunders & Fowden.
Tomorrow is Woodrow Wilson
Day. Let every man in Martin
County and in Noith Carolina,
who desires the rule of the people
do some thiug to aid the election
of the Lemocratic nominee for
ptesident. It is a critical period in
the history of this great Nation.
Work and vote for Wilson and

The way lo defeat the conspiracy

netting enough Democratic reac

Grover Cleveland was President,
tlitre will be no relief fcr the peo

Kitch«n on the Press
In his speech at Albemarle, N.
C., on Oct. 16, 1912, in behalf of
his candidacy for the Senate, Gov
ernor Kitchen made tbe following
reference to the attitude of the
St ite press.
'While a number cs the big
dalv papers of the state are bitterly
opposing tee in the senatorial cam
paig-i, I am gratified to note the
constantly increasing support I am
receiving from the county and
local papers which are closest to
the heart* and home of the people.
I .iui standing for tbe people in
thjs and I gratefully acknow
ledge my appreciation of tbe cor
dial co operation I am receiving
from so many of the newspapers of
tlie people. lam iuclined to think
more of these papers are now sup
porting tue than any other candi
date; at least I have a most gener
ous shaie. Tbe purest patriotism
and the truest democracy are not
to be found in the city haunts of
"big business," but on the farm
and iu the villages where men live

pathetic touch with their fellow
men."—Durham Sun.
DODSON'S LIVER-TONE
INSTEAD OF CALOMEL
Just as Sore — Always Safe -No
Effects Ever Follow this Pleas
ant Tasting Liquid
As a remedy for a torpid liver
calomel has more than met its
match in Dodson's I y iver-Tone. It
dees not the liver on to perform its
work at the cost of its strenght.
Colotnel depends for tis power
upon exciting the liver to do more
work, and often the liver is too
weak to stand such treatment, and
you are worse off than before.
Dodson's Liver-Tone cannot
cause any of the dangerous effects
that often follow the use of calomel.
It ii entirely vegetable and pleasant
to the taste, and is suitable for
children and grown people.
Get a 50c bottle at Saunders &
Fowden under the guarantee that
if it doesn't satisfy you that it is a
perfect substitute for calomel you
get your money back.
