1 (Special Correspondence. )
Greensboro, N.-C, Feby 2. The
cross examination or u. w. Samuel
was concluded just before the adjourn
ment of court Friday afternoon. His
re-direct examination will be complet
ed early Friday morning. Explaining
why he always stopped with blockaders
on his raids; especially with Jim Corn-
Mark Myers, Wash Lanaford or
Garfield Foster, noted blockaders,
Samuel said: "There were plenty of
good people in each neighborhood who
were not blockaders; but they were
afraid to feed the revenue officers. No
body but blockaders would feed the
horses or give us anything to eat Dr.
Summers was a good man but he re
peatedly turned me off. Finally he
said "Samuel" I'm going to break my
record and let a revenue cmfcer spend
the night here, come in. " It was about
two o'clock one night, even the mer
chants at country stores would not sell
us things to eat for ourselves or horses
when I first went to Wilkes. They
wSre all afraid the blockaders would
burn them up or shoot them."
District Attorney Holton . showed
from the official diary of Samuel's
movements that he had taken dinner
with men whose stills he reported aal
havinir destroyed the same day. Samuel
explained by declaring, "it was not an
unusual occurrence to take dinner or
Hipper with a man after cutting up bis
(till. If he was a good man he never
;ot mad with us for doing our duty. I
wo'"ld not have hesitated to take dinner
with Jim Combes the day I cut up his
atcam still if he had been at home. One
ay I took dinner with Whittington and
while he was hitching up my horse 1
was looking round and found a lot of
unstamped whiskey and seized it. He
was a good man. he didn't get
mad."
His evidence abounded in singular in
teresting and plausible explanations of
apparent misconduct. When confront
ed with official reports contradictory to
his testimony; he would not admit hav-
ng made a false report, but simply
said he had made a mistake. He never
bocame excited or rattled.

TREASURER
Uses Pe-ru-na In His Own
Family as a Catarrh
Remedy.
V. HONEY, Ex-Treasurer of
the State of Wisconsin, is a man of
wide acquaintance and extensive ex
perience. lie has used Pernna In his own family
with the most gratifying results.
He gives it unqualified endorsement
aa an efficacious catarrh remedy.
It is Just such testimony as this which
has given Peruna such a high standard
in the estimation of the American
public.
There is no possible way to gainsay
such frank and genuine testimony.
The only way to account for such tes
timony is the fact that Peruna really
does what is claimed for it.
Because it relieves catarrh, It clears
I the way for Nature
to re-assert her
The Reliable I sway over thephy
Catarrh Remedy.! Biological forces of
the body and thus
rid the system of a great many different
chronio diseases.
Catarrh is the stronghold of lingering
diseases. Once rid the system of catarrh
and it is very difficult indeed for disease
to linger very long.
Followed Dr. Hartman's Advice.
Mr. John O. Nelson, Dayton, Tenn.,
geologist and mining engineer, while a
Captain In the Federal Army during
the Civil War, contracted a case of rheu
matism. This malady was constant and per
sistent, inducing the development of
other ailments, which also became
chronic. After taking a course of
Peruna, Capt. Nelson writes :
"Having been painfully afflicted with
chronic rheumatism and the adjunctive
complications-for many years, and'after
having received many general and
special treatments with only temporary
relief, I read your scientific treatise on
catarrhal diseases.
"At my request, you prescribed for
me a special courso of the Peruna reme
dies, which I clo6cly followed, and am
happy to report that my rheumatism
and complicated ailments are subdued.
and I feel young again at the age of
sixty-nine years.
"Reason will accept your classifica
tion ot catarrhal diseases aa scientific
and true, and the Peruna remedies aa
a standard treatment for them.
'I thank you heartily for your skilled
and logical advice."
