in conneotton with beadacheai>backacbes and a general worn-out feeling.
On consulting a doctor he suid that I had womb trouble and ulceration nnd must undergo an operation. ' I felt
?o weak that I was sure that I would not live to go through it and decided to try Wine of Cardui which ] had seen
advertised so much and see what that would do for mo before I underwent an operation, I am pleased to state that I
felt better much better in two weeks and by using Wine of Cardui for two s? ? ?

Women who know that operations are dangerous, and that too frequently one operation leadi
to another, rebel against the operating table. Many surgeons are too ready to advise an operation. ^f^S.MafieJti/fede^V,
Mrs. Medcr's case and the experience of thousands of other women prove that such extreme
measures are usually unnecessary when Wine of Cardui can,be obtained.
Wine of Cardui is the best medicine known for the cure of the diseases of women. It strengthens the womanly organs
and assists nature to restore healthy functions. It relieves all menstrual disorders and cures bearing down pains and ovarian
troubles. It corrects barrenness, relieves the worst pains at childbirth, and is beneficial for women of all ages and conditions,
It is not only an emergency medicine in the time of pain and sickness, but it is a sure preventative, an occasional dose of
which tones up the general health.
m ' If you are suffering, remember the good that Mrs, Meder got out of this medicine and give it a trial. All druggist!)

It Is admitted on all sides that the North?

last .few years, and that it has great
possibilities, but it oannot bo success?
fully denied that Its future depends very
largely upon tho work of lawmakers In
regard to tho tlsh and oystor Industries.
Injudicious legislation on these stupend?
ous Industries Jvu-uild .{not buly Ibe a
death blow" to immigration, but would
very seriously rotard tho progress being
made by tho natives, who havo for years
been directing'their means and best ener?

Of the large number of persons Inter*
viewed by yonr correspondent on the
subject,- not one lias expressed himself in
fnvor of viva voco ' voting In primary
elections, A very large majority of the
King Georgo peoplo aro openly opposed
to that' system of voting, and many of
them give good reasons for their objec?
tions. It l? not at ah probable that Uw
viva voce plan will ever be adopted here.
Such are the airoumstances, where there
is,a variety of business enterprises?ona
depending largely, upon the other?and
"mixed" and varied conditions, that
many a man would lose his vote rathe*
than.march up to the ballot box and ox-,

BARKSDALE LAW.
The Barksdale election law has cer?
tainly grown In publlo favor here with
a large percentage of the best ele?
ment of citizens. Of course, those i
who' are "politicians," ' "campaigners"
and voters only for what It pays, havo
no good blood for tho new law, by which
they lose their "occupation." Both tho
elimination of monoy from campaigns
and from tho election means the elimi?
nation of much fraud and rascality. The
good effect of the law has already been,
noon In this county, and lota of folks are
hoping to seo still hotter and moro far-.:
reaching effoots after tho election.
Hon. M. K. Lowery. of Stafford. Re?
publican candidatu for tho House of
Delegates for that county and King
George, has hetMi making campaign
speeches at a number of places In this
county since Tuesday evening, wlion ha
began his programme by "talking" to
a gathering of voters at Weedonvllla.
As already intimated. Mr. It. M. Jones,
tho Demoornllo candidate for tho House.
In opposition to Mr. Lowery, Is laboring
under the 'disadvantage ot not being
known to tha peoplo in this county. But
It was said by a high authority the other
day that Mr. Jones would receive "nearly
tho full Democratic vote of King George."
This conclusion was reached after a can-*
vass of tho county by tho gentleman who ;
mndu tho statement.
Ex-Judga C. II. Ashtoil, Democratic |
candidate for the Commonwealth's at- i
torueyshlp of King George, said to The
Times- Dispatch correspondent aovoiul
days ago: "Altar visiting all parts of !
tho county and talking with tho people,
I feol entirely satisfied with the out'. '
look, and am confident' of my election |
by a good majority." Mr, W, A. Rose, ,
Judge Ashton's Republican opponent, It I
said to be very sungutnu, and ha seems;
to feel confident of his election. Th<?
contest between there two gentlemen
will be alarmingly clos?. and the m?-%;
