(International) FEELS BETTER THAN IN YEARS, THANKS RETONGA Mr. T. W. Dobbe J*avs He Eats And Sleeps Fine Nov And Works Every Day. “Retonga gave me so much relief that it is a pleasure to tell others about such a grand medicine,” grate fully declared Mr, T. W. Dobbs of 455 Luckie St., N W„ Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Dobbs who is engaged in special machine work, has been outstanding in his field for many years. Discuss ing Retonga he happily continued: “My appetite was so poor that I scarcely ate enough to keep going, and even this little seemed to cause gas pains and indigestion after ev ery meal. I hardly knew what a good night's sleep was. Sluggish elimination caused me trouble, 1 felt toxic and weak, and mornings I would wake up feeling almost too miserable to drag myself out of bed “It would be hard to describe the relief Retonga gave me. My appe tite returned, the gas and indigestion were relieved, and I sleep well. Ev MR. T. W. DOBBS en that troublesome constipation has been relieved. I am glad to pass the good word on to others who need Retonga as I did.” Thousands are praising Retonga. Retonga is intended to relieve dis tress due to Vitamin B-l deficiency, constipation, insufficient flow of di gestive juices m the stomach, and loss of appetite. Retonga may be ob tained at Clark's Pharmacy.—Adv. Hail, Windstorm Insurance DON’T WAIT until the “horse is out before you ioek the burn door” . . .

C. May 16th, 1914. Mr. Gregg Cherry, Candidate Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. N. C. Dear Sir: I read Marvin Revel’s “open letter’' addressed to you and pub lished in the News and Observer on May 9th. I attended tlie Convention referred to by Mr. Revel, and I re eall distinctly that after Valentine had presented his resolution, the purpose of which was to eliminate your vote as a Past Commander unless you were also a delegate, you not only said everything Mar vin Revel attributes to you, but in the course of your speech you also said, "Let me talk. Who is this Itimous Valentine? Nothing but a Private—Raised down here in Nash County-—Most of you don’t even know irhere Nash County is, let alone Spring Hope.—a one-horse lawyer from a country town.” Probably no two people will agree precisely upon the words you used but if it be granted for the sake of the argument that none of the words attributed to you were actually spoken by you, (you have not denied them), how can you explain the effect of the words you did use, the impression you made, and the deep feeling of in dignation you stirred up in the hearts of your fellow legionnaires? Cries of “Throw him out!” were directed against you from all over the liortse; others asked, “Who ever heard of you before you became Commander?” One reporter covering the Convention wrote in his paper that your own Post, Gastonia, handed you a “slap in the face” by voting for the amendment and against you by 19 to 11. No amount of denial on your part—no printing of the record not even publicizing the fact that you changed your vote and vot ed with the majority, (after you saw that you were beaten), or that you shook hands with Valentine after the voting was over, can ex plain away the contempt and indignation which your fellow legion naires felt us a result of the insult you offered to the manhood, to the self-respect, to the patriotism, of a gallant Private in the first World War. "Nothing but a Private/” Frankly, Mr. Cherry, whom do you think fights those bloody uars anyway? When “D-Day” conies, whose names will be first, second, third, fourth, etc., on the list of casualties? Will it be the Privates, or gallant and brave as they may be, only the Majors, Colon els and Generals? \\ hat kind of a Governor do you think you would make for tin* returning Privates, their fathers, mothers, wives and sweet hearts? If you lacked respect for him as a soldier, how could you respect him, or be willing to serve him, when he comes back here as an ordinary citizen? 1 am a Legionnaire, Mr. Cherry, a Past Commander of my Post. But (Ids is not a quarrel between us legionnaires, nor is it simply a protest against your dragging the Legion into politics against the plain provisions of our Constitution, which you swore to uphold. These are involved, to be sure, but it goes far beyond that! In fact, \ onr conduct on the occasion referred to indicates your fun damental thinking, your basic attitude toward those who come from the country and small country towns; toward those you con sider “little and inconsequential,” whether they be Privates, or dinary citizens, or mere members of the Legislature while you were Speaker. It goes to the heart of the question cf whether a man like you ought to he Governor of our State at a time when our men and wo men—so many of them Privates—may be returning, God willing, to their businesses, their homes, to take up again the broken thread of their lives. It goes to the heart of the question of whether a man like you ought to be Governor of a State that has so many of us “little and inconsequential” people in it. With scads of money at your command, I -have been inform ed that you have canvassed North Carolina thoroughly for the ab sentee votes of our men and women in the armed forces; you have had letters and blanks printed and mailed at the same time indi cating that you were instrumental in providing them with a ballot, and asking that they vote for you. I believe, however, there are enough of us “little and inconsequential” citizens; enough of us Legionnaires, also fathers, mothers, sisters and wives of the mem bers of our armed forces now fighting alongside of Valentine, to see that wc do not lose in North Carolina what they are fighting and dying for over there.** Yours truly, Robert Dennis. **Excerpt from letter received by Mr. Revel from a Wake County mother who has a ton in New Guinea: “I am glad about your open letter to Mr. Cherry in yes terday's News and Observer, and I am sure that thousands who read it will be grateful to you for your timely warning. It gives me the creeps to think what might have happened if you had not written it. Folks everywhere must have stopped to do some serious thinking as a result of your letter. I proudly clipped it and sent it to my son in New Guinea. He will show it to his fellow officers and all the North Carolina men he meets.”
