3oth. There has been a dearth of shows of the circus and menagerie kind in Henderson of late years. -The latest attraction was a dog and pony show, and now comes one of a similar character only more elaborate and better than anything of the kind we have yet had. It is the Rhoda Royal Shows, which will exhibit here on Tuesday, Oct. 30th.

This is a trained animal show horses, dogs, monkeys and wild animals together with funny clowns and acrobatic performances. Not a regular circus, but something newer and better. There are educated ponies, performing dogs and monkeys, trained wild animals and a host of specialty acts that make it one of the most unique and enjoyable performances imaginable. The Sea-ford, Delaware, News, of Sept. 29th, says: "No show ever visited this section of this State as well equipped, better recommended, and bringing with it as good a class of attractions as does the Great Rhoda Royal Shows.

Its menagerie contains the rarest of animals, its museum the oddest of features, and the performance furnished is made up of the highest salaried artists, and the trained animals better than any other similar organization on the road this Beason. In every city and town where the Great Rhoda Royal Show has been seen the press and public have DDi ted in sounding its praises. Conservative papers have pronounced it "ponitivelj the best and grandest exhibition ever seen in the town." Remember the date of its coming to Henderson Tuesday, Oct. 30th.

The Best Equipped flan for United States Senator to Begin With and Then He Has Fairly Deserved the A correspondent signing himself "Omega," writing from Chronicle to the Newton Enterprise, discusses the Senatorial question as follows. Recognizing that the contest is between Uen. Carr and Mr.

Simmons be says: We think him FGen. Carr! one of best men in the State, but Mr. Sim mons is, we think, the logical candi date, and we must support him. We hear it whispered around among Democrats that Gen. Carr is a better man morally than Mr.

Simmons, and for this reason deserves the support of all Democrats, who believe in morality. Friends, what is the matter with the moral character of F. M. Simmons? Don't you know that if Mr. Simmons didn't have a good moral record behind him his enemies, the fusionists, who hate him almost asbad as they do the devil, would have exposed him long ago? Perhaps you have based your esti mate of his character on the hard lings said of him during the late campaign by his enemies.

If so, let me tell you what one of the shrewdest Republicans in Catawba county once said to me, says he: Yon notice the Democrat that the Republican news- papers' and speakers abuse the most and say the hardest things about and ou will know who is your, greatest eader and most influential Democrat. No one was. ever more severely persecuted by his enemies than the late lamented Senator Vance. Why? Because they knew that he was the greatest leader and had more influence thau any other man in his party. And what was it that gave Gov.

Vance this great influence? His devotion to the interests of North Carolina and her people. Now, we do not claim that Mr. Simmons is the equal of Senator Vance, few men are, but we do claim that for great services rendered, Mr. Simmoas has got a hole on the hearts of the people of North Carolina that will be almost impossible for any one to shake, and the Democratic party would be very ungrateful if it were otherwise. But, says aTrother objector, Mr.

Simmons has already been greatly honored by being made State Chairman. Yes, he has been honored, for it has been by discharging his duties so faithfully, as chairman, that he has made his great reputation, but remember, brother, thai this is one of the most laborious offices to fill in the sift of the people, and there is no salary attached, no one can fill the office of chairman acceptably only at a crreat personal sacrifice. To elect Mr. Simmons to the United States Senate, will be rewarding a politician, objects another. Brother, what kind of man do you want for Senator, if not a politician? Accord ing to your gauge the proper man to select would be some good fellow who never takes any interest in politics whatever, not even enough to vote.

You would say to Mr. Simmons: "Mr. Simmons, you have made a wise chairman, you have twice lead our party to victory, and established white supremacy in North forever; but to do this you had to act the part of a politician, and for this reason I can not vote for you." Away with such stuff. Everything to eat and to wear, and at the right price, at H. THOMASON'S.

We get good reports from the canvass of Messrs Pou and Beckwith, our candidatls for Congress and elector respectively in this district in the county of Randolph. Good' crowds greeted the gentlemen, and manifested the closest, interest in the issues involved, which were discussed earnestly, plainly and effectively. The people, as the Post has suggested before, are much more concerned in the election than some have been disposed to think, and a full vote is expected in Randolph. The speakers were well received and their efforts gener ally and generously applauded. Mr.

Pou spends this week in cnat- ham while Mr. Beckwith, with Congressmen Atwater, speak at points in other counties. Haleign rost.

WHITTEN. The Capital City to be in Holiday At tire Next Week the Fair Management Provides for Amusement of the People. The Raleigh Post of Tuesday had this to say of some of the special eatures of the great State- Fair next week: Yesterday was another busy day with the Fair people. Many attractions were booked and the avalanche of exhibits continued to pour in. ine great interstate gun contest will occupy three days ednesday, Thursday and Friday.

-Special rates have been given by the railroad associations to accommodate all who take part in the tournament, which will include Charleston, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Richmond, and othr points out of the State. ine society has effected arrangements at considerable expense to give a number of free 6hows. The first show will be given Monday. These performances will include daily trapeece acting, balloon ascensions, and Prof. Median's extraordinary dog show.

These 20 trained ani mals will perform daily free to all. Ihe Midway will be the most attract-ve ever seen at any time. Not only will the Midway be open all day, but will also be in fall blast on Tuesday night and will continue during the week. A brilliant illuminated balloon ascension, with nre works will be made each night. This special feature is provided for by the society at considerable expense, for the amusement of the -general public.

No ticket will be recognized at night except the special night tickets. All life members and other complimentary tickets esed during the day will not be good. The society has spared neither pains or money to contribute to the comfort and convenience of the visitors. Thegrounds have been put in good order. The buildings and fencing have all been overhauled and repainted or whitewashed.

The East fence has been extended so that all carriages enter from the Southeastcorner which will prevent the danger, and does away with the main entrances being crowded as heretofore. Every effort has been made for the comfort of all. The entries for the races are already sufficient to secure the finest racing ever done by the association. Much less time will be made than has ever occurred pn a North Carolina track. The grounds are in perfect condition and the race course is all that could be desired.

"For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbus brought on by eatingcucumbers," says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Centerville, Iowa. "I thought I should surely die, and tried a dozen dif ferent medicines but all to no purpose. I sent for a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and three doses relieved me entirely." This remedy is for sale at Dorsey's Drug Store.

v. 1. Uneatham, were adopted Oct. 1, 1900. Wheheas.

It has pleased Almighty God to remove froni this earthly tabernacle Dr. W. T.Cheatham, for over twenty-five years a member of this church and of its official body: Resolved, That while we bow with humble submission to this exercise of Divine will, that we will miss his wise and discreet counsel and assistance in our work. Resolved further, Thatwefeel thatMetho- dism has lost one of its most earnest supporters and loyal members: every claim of the church receiving his cordial support. Resolved further, That we feel in his death that the community has lost a good and useful citizen, and the Medical profession one of its ablest members.

Resolved, That a copy ol these resolu tions be spread on the minutes of this quarterly conference, a copy be sent to his family, to the Evening Heraid, Goto Leaf and Raleigh Christian Advocate for publication. B. R. PlNKBTON, W.E.Gary, J. H.

Bridgers, Committee. It Happened in a Drug Store. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock," says Mr. C. R.

Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

I consider that a very good recommendation for tjie" remedy." For sale at Dorsey's Drug Store The prospect increases throughout the North of sufficient Democratic gains in Congressional districts to give a small majority in the House. Let not North Carolina contribute to the defeat of this hope by the loss of a member. If the Democrats do their full duty we will have a solid delegation, and it may be that this may really determine the majority in the House. It is of vast importance in this dav of extravagant tendencies that the Democracy should control this branch of the government at this time, regardless of who may bo elect ed President, and tne more so snouia Mr. McKinley succeed.

Let North Carolina do ner duty ai least. Raleigh Post. Wanted, about 150 cedar posts. For further particulars apply to r. 1111 Henderson, N.

0 W. B. SHAW, Trustee These Two Sturdy Champions of De mocracy Fill Their Appointment to Speak Here flonday Night. Hon. B.

C. Beckwith, Bryan elector for this district, and Hon. John W. Atwater, member of Congress, filled their appointment to speak here Mon day night. A small crowd was present to hear them but this made them all the more appreciative of the presence of those who did thns honor them.

Mr. Beckwith spoke first, being introduced by T. M. Pittnan, bsq. He spoke for about an hour devoting the larger part of his time to discussion of imperialism, Hanna- ism, Mckinleyism, the trusts; etc.

His arraignment of the principles and policies of the Republican party and iue present auminisirauon was strong and logical. Mr. Beckwith showed himself a clear and forceful reasoner and put up a convincing argument from the Democratic point of view of the issues discussed. At the conclusion of Mr. Beck- with's speech Mr.

R. S. McCoin, chair man of the Democratic County Exec utive Committee, introduced Hon. John W. Atwater, referring to his coursein Congress, his splendid work lor white supremacy during the last campaign, his candidacy before the Democratic Congressional convention for the nomination which was given to another and of his unselfish, patri otic efforts since in behalf of Hon.

Ed ward W. Pou, his successful opponent, and for Bryan and Stevenson. Mr. Atwater Was greeted most cordially. He has many friends and admirers among our people and the more they see ol nim the better they like him.

Air. Atwater made a capital and characteristic speech. He spoke with deep earnestness and his every utter ance was the emanation of an honest heart and patriotic spirit. It was full of humor and kept his hearers in con stant bursts of laughter and applause. He paid merited tribute to Hon.

L. W. Pou and urged every Democrat to work and vote for his election. Com ing to Mr. Bryan he emphasized the importance of his triumph at the polls on; the 6th day of November next and begged his hearers to be diligent to the end that Vance county roll up a big majority for Bryan and Pou.

Sallie J. Lewis, wife of Mr. J. Alex. Lewis, which occurred at her home in Oxford at 11 o'clock Saturday morning.

She had been sick but a short while and her death was entirely unexpected and caused a shock to her friends. Mrs. Lewis was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. VV.

H. Jones, both deceased, of Ringwood, Halifax county, and like her mother, whom we knew well in our boyhood days, she was a woman of superior worth, loved and admired by all who knew her. She was about 28 years of age, a consistent Christian, a devoted wife and mother a kind neighbor and sincere friend. Only about two years ago she came to Oxford a bride, full of joyousness and brightest anticipations of a long and happy married life and during that time she had drawn to herself many warm friends and well wishers who shed, a sympathetic tear above her untimely grave. Beside a devoted and affectionate hushand and two small children Mrs.

Lewis leaves several brothers and sisters and a wide circle of relatives and friends to mourn her death. A new remedy for biliousness is now on sale at Dorsey's drug store. It is called Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab lets. It gives quick relief and will prevent the attack if given soon as the first indication of the disease appears.

A NoWe Charity. It is understood that General Julian S. Carr, of North Carolina, has con tracted with- the Lafferty Mill to sup ply every Southern Methodist minis ter with the famous "Complete Flour," and every minister of every denomination in North Carolina at the cost of production. General Carr's use of the flour, tal lying with the opinions of a long ar ray of bankers, jurists, physicians, presidents of colleges, ministers as to its value for brain workers and persons with impaired digestion led him to put it into thousands of parson ages. The Lafferty Mill was forced to du plicate its machinery for triturating the germ and oxygenizing the pro ducts, as the whole wheat berry is used.

A superbly engraved booklet wjth portrait of General Carr and their scientific method of milling has been issued by the Laffertys. Rich mond Evening News. STOP THE COUCH And work off the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cold in one day. No Cure, no Pay.
