peal to treason."
Through their party organ, the
"Appeal to Reason," and through oth-
er channels, the Socialists urge vot-
ers to vote against every one of the
nine constitutional amendments sub-
mitted at luesday s election.
In their mad opposition to the lit-
eracy test they urge people to vote
against the other eight amendments
as well. This, notwithstanding there
are among those amendments some
which all good citizens agree are vi-
tally important and should be adopt-
For instance, the amendment to the
workmen's compensation law, which
will make it possible for the state
industrial commission to settle speed-
ily the amount of damages due to the
widow aud children for the death of
a workman, without the delay and
uncertainty and expense of a law suit.
Doth labor aud employers are prac-
tically unanimous for this amendment. ^
- all but the Socialists and some re- j
publican politicians.
In their insane zeal to defeat the
literacy test, these Socialists and their i
allies "by their attitude say; "We care i
nut how many laborers' orphaned chil-
dren cry for bread—Just so we can
save the illiterate, criminal negro's
right to vote!"

farm, are among his best friends and
In that connection wo are glad to
state that his rent houses, barns, and
other rental improvements are among
the very best in this county. He is a
good business man, meeting the oblt-
cations with bis creditors, even those
at the bank as endorser of the notes
of others. Ho payB his taxes and
obeys tho lawB.
Wc, therefore, denounce as untrue
any and all statements to tho effect
that .Murray will fall to carry his
< ounty and good conscience compels
us to state that he will poll more
votes than he lias ever polled before
in Johnston county; many men in
different sections of the county who
never supported him are openly sup-
porting him In this race.
In view of the false statements
scattered over the district we would
call upon Bill Murray's friends every-
where to be alert upon the day of the
election for any new falsehood or
raise rumors which may be attempt-
ed to be used by the opposition to
him, and we hereby authorize his
friends to deny them as untrue and
without foundation In fact. We sub-
mit that "Eleventh-Hour" charges,
should any such be made, are not
worthy of belief, otherwise they would
have been made earlier in the cam-
paign.
We call the public's attention to the
fact that during all of Bill Murray's
public career he has boldly and fear-
lessly stood for all things he has
promised and for proper practices on
the part of the public officials, crit-
icising freely the highest official iu
the state whenever such official at-
tempted to use Ills power or to set
practices contrary to the best inter-
ests of the people which has caused
him to have the enmity and hatred of
all tho corrupt politicians and poli-
ticial machines in the state in every
campaign in which he was a candidate
and through it all he has come forth
stronger in the face of every charge
until everybody recognizes Hill Mur-
ray to be (he embodiment of integrity,
moral courage, and qualifications,
t'e urge all to vote on the first day

Pains Disappeared After Use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
■Wilmington, Del.—"I was suffering i
from a terrible backache and pains in |
my side, with bear- j
ing down pains and i
was very nervous.
I was always tired,
always drowsy,
never could get
enough sleep and
could not eat. I had i
four doctors and j
each told me some-
thing different I j
read of Lydia E. I
Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound and decided to try it. I j
got good results and I now feel better,
than I have felt for years and I am gain-
ing in weight. I can gladly recommend i
it to all women."—Mrs. George w. !
SEBOLD, 1611 West 4th Street, Wilming-1
ton, Del.
Backache and bearing down pains
are danger signals which every woman
should heed. Remove the cause of these
aches and pains by taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, that good j
old root and herb medicine. Thousands
of women have testified to its virtues.
For forty years it has been making
women strong, curing backache, ner-
vousness, ulceration and inflammation,
weakness, displacements, irregularity
and periodic pain.

Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old-time
ltecipe that Anybody can Apply.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat-
ural color datee back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
lialr beautifully dark, glos6y and at-
tractive. Whenever her hair .took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied wlm wonderful effect.
Hut brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
auy drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
pound," you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
l well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw through your hair. taking
one strand at a tlmo. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two. it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for thoee who desire a more youthful
aippeanance. It Is not intended fcr
the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.—Adr.
