THE RACES. battle Tobe, the Famous Son of Pamlico, Will be Here. All the entries in the races at the!

Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond, St. Charles, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Augusta and other prominent stables are represented. In the free for all race will be Little Tobe, who has added to the fame of his gTeat sire, Pamlico, and in this race will also be Birdeye, Calla Lilly, Bursar and other*.

Jacobs, proprietor of the Ral eigh Loan office, has the largest watch ever made. It is a solid silver watch and chain and weighs two pounds. We do not mean to say this watch represents I the much discussed question of the ratio of silver and gold for it seems to be of a fdlver-buggest disposition, being all silver, but that it would take 16 ordin ary watches to make one like it. It has a history, too, which is too often true. It was made for a wealthy citizen of the Old Dominion, who by riotous living spent a fortune in a few years and as a last resort placed his watch in a pawn brokers’ shop and could never redeem it. WAS ROBBED IN ATLANTA. John Andrews, from Burlington, N. C., went to Atlanta Thursday, and that night he fell into the hands of a gang of hobos, who soon got him completely drnnk and robbed him.

John Chap fell, was arrested for disorderly con duct and deposited $3.75 of Andrews’ money for his appearance next morning. Harry Hare and Chappell were later ar rested for the robbery by Detectives rested for the robbery. Andrews was left without a cent and had to get his din ne* next day at police headquarters.

DEATH POSTPONED. : The Secret cf Perpetual Life About to be Discovered. The celebrated Dr. Virchow, of Ber lin, recently stated his belief that the secret of all diseases is about to be dis covered. He believes that all disease germs can be destroyed, leaving human life free to continue indefinitely. Taut it is minute organisms that cause dis ease; that they can be destroyed; and, when destroyed, there will be no dis- ; ease, and people will continue to live, if not always at least to attain great age. .like the fabled Antediluvians. In the meantime, however, we have the disease germs to cope with the best ! way we can. They attack us morning, I noon and night. They are in Ihe air ! we breathe, the water we drink and the ’ food we eat. The only thing we can do Ito protect ourselves is to fortify the system against them. The strengthen ing effect of Pe-ru-na is a reliable pro- I teetion. The disease germs can not I exist in the system when Pe-ru-na is taken. It is a perfect remedy for all low, weak states of the system, and brings vitality and strength of youth, i Ii the mucous membranes are heaitay j thp disease germs can not euter the ; system. Pe-rn-na produces clean, healthy j normal mucous membranes. Send for Dr. Hartman’s latest book on chronic malaria. Address the Po ru-na Drag Manufacturing Co., Colum bus, Ohio.

It is sometimes a severe strain upon one’s charity to hear a man say he wants to quit drinking but can’t. Very often the will is not on the side of sobriety and the plea is not sincere. We have known men who drank from pure cussedness, because they wanted nothing better. We have known others who lamented their weakness and made a manly fight to keep sober. Sometimes the appetite could be kept under for months, when in an unguarded moment it would reassert itself and 6end its victim back to his cups. We were talking with onr old -friend, Mr. J. 11, Bennett, not long since and he remarked that before he was cured of the thirst for liquor if he said he hat ed the stuff nobody would have believed him, yet such was the case. He often shed tears over the habit which he knew had the mastery over him and then would go and drink again. “How long has it been since you took the Keeley Treatment?” we asked him. “It will be five years the sth of Octo ber,” he replied. “Have you had any desire for liquoT since then?” “Not the least hit,” he answered. “I consider my cure permanent, and I never expect to want any more liquor. I do not give it a serious thought.” Mr. Bennett said further that he used to be such a slave to drink that he could dispose of a pint before breakfast. Now he would as soon think of drinking that much stump water. In answer to our inquiry, be said he had no objection to being quoted publicly and hoped his ex perience would influence others to take ♦he treatment at the Institute at Greens boro.

I used one-half dozeD bottles ol Mrs. Joe Person’s Remedy, without stopping on It, and it made a perfect cure of me. The lump disappeared gradually and I have never had any trouble from it since.
