near Sri am enabled to furnish you with
most extraordinary cure effected by your
invaluable Ointment and Pills which has as
ton,shed every person acquainted with the
sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W. Cum

thrown from his horse, whereby he received
very serious injuries; he had the best medical
advice ut the time, and was afterwards an in
mate of different infrmaries, yet he grew
worse, and at length malignant running ul-
Ger settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that he could not move without
crutches for nearly ten years; recently he
began to Use your Ointment and Pills, which
have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his
crutchcs, so that he can walk with the great
est ease, and with renewed health and vigor

To Professor HOLLOWAY,
SU-Some time since, one of my children
was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the
body and limbs. l obtained the advice of Sc
>yeral eminent Surgeons and Physicians, by all
of whom the case was considered hopeless. At
length L tried your Ointment and Pills, and
without exaggeration, the effect was miracu-
lous, for by persevering in their use, all the
eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child
was restored to perfect health.
l previously lost a child from a simil ar COM

adopted your medicines she would have been
saved also. 1 shall be happy to testify the
truth Of this to any inquirer

DEATH OF GEN. MCKAY.

We record, with feelings of regret, the death of
this distinguished citizen. He died quite suddenly,
at Goldsborough, on Wednesday evening last. We
indebted to the Wilmington Journal for the fol-
lowing notice of his death and sketch of his character
and public services:
"DEATH OF GEN. JAMES j. MCKAY. 1t becomes
our painful duty this morning to announce the IN
expected death of one of our most worthy citizens
Gen. James j. Mckay, of Bladen county. Gen. Nc
Kay arrived here last Monday night from Lis resi-
dence in Bladen en- route for Tarborough, in Edge
combe county, as witness in the of the State
against Armstrong. Whenw saw him on Tuesday
morning, he was IN apparently better health than
for some time previous, and converscd freely. We
learn, that his return from Edgecombe yesterday
afternoon he was taken suddenly i'll on board the
cars and on arriving at Goldsborough, it was found
necessary for him to stop, where he expired at Mrs
Bordens Hotel at before o'clock yesterday even
ing, of bilious Cramp choc, in the Gath year of
his age.
AS public man, Gen. Mckay was well known to
be firm and consistent Democrat, having served
his constituents for years member of Congress
from this District and, during that time, at one pc
Rod occupying with marked ability, the high and
very responsible office OF Chairman OF the Committee
of Ways and Means of which Committee he
Chairman at the time of the passage of the Tariff
Bill of 1916. As representative, no member of
Congress commanded more attention respect. He
might truly be said to have served his constituents
till he voluntarily retired, national representa-
tvealways looking to the best interest of the whole
country, and discardng all factions and sectional
jealousies.
Previous to his election to Congress, he had been
for many years practitioner of the Bar, with marked
success and had often represented his native County
-Bladen-in the State Legislature. After leaving
the Halls of Congress, he was elected Chairman of
the Court of Pleas of Bladen county, having previ-
ously been appointed Justice of the Peace, which
post he filled with ability to the day of his death.
In the death of Gen. Mckay, the public have lost
an oft tried faithful and able servant and his rela
tives and friends must long mourn his usefulness
a kinsman and neighbor.
We are informed that his remains will reach town
this evening in the Express train, about o'clock,
and will be conveyed on board of steamer engaged
to take him up the river for interment at his resi-
dence in Bladen county"

and resolutions were adopted which motion preYails
ed and he then moved that the preamble and reso-
lutions to be SO amended as to read as follows
The committee of four from each State, appointed
for the purpose of preparing business for the action
Of the Convention, have considered the resolutions
referred to them, and deeply impressed with the
importanceof railway connection between the great
west, through Lexington, KY, Cumberland Gap, the
valley of the French Broad to some of the Railroads
now completed or in course of construction in the
States of North and South Carolina. Your commit
tee do not deem it necessary to say any thing the
present occasion in regard to the importance of Rail-
roads generally, or the immense value of the one
now in contemplation by this Convention There
be no difference of opinion in regard to these
matters, and therefore they simply recommend the
adoption of the following resolution:
ResoLred, That this convention is satisfied that it
is emnently expedient and practicable, at moderate
cost to construct Railroad connecting the west
with the Atlantic through Lexington, KY, Cumber-
land Gap, and the valley of the French Broad to
some points in North and South Carolina, where
Railroads are now finished in the course of con-
structon leading to Charleston, South Carolina, and
to Beaufort, in North Carolina
There being no objections to the I'd and Sd resou-
TONS as originally reported they were re-adopted
and the above preamble and resolution as amended
unanimously adopted.
Whereupon Col. B. S. Gather arose and expressed
his entire concurrence in the resolutions as they were
last passed. and made able speech in favor of the
entire project Unwilling he said he was to see
the road taken to South Carolina he in favor of
Tennessee to Asheville, North Carolina, and one
branch to be constructed on through the State of
North Carolina, another in South Carolina, to some
point to be hereafter determined on.
William Johnston Esq, of Haywood county, ex-
pressed his entire concurrence in the views of Col
Gather the subject, and said that there was no
opposition so far he knew in his section of coun
try to the spirit of the resolutions amended and
adopted.
On motion of G. W. Baxter, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
ResOI0ed, That the officers of this Convention are
entitled to our thanks for the able and impartial
in which they have discharged the duties of their
respective stations
Upon the adoption of this resolution, the President
arose and responded in appropriate speech, which
was received with applause
On notion the convention adjourned sine die

SPEED OF RAILWAYS. Dr. Lardncr adopts some
ingenious illustrations to render familiar the extra
ordinary velocity with which our express trains
move:
"The Great Western express to Exeter, England,
travels at the rate of As miles hour, including
stoppages 81 miles hour without including stop
pages To attain this rate speed of go miles an hour
is adopted midway between some OF the stations;
and in certain experimental trips, 20 miles an hour
have been reached. A speed of 70 miles an hour is
bout equivalent to 35 yards per second 30 yards
between two beats of common clock.
sAIl objects near the eye of passenger travelling
at this rate will pass by his eye in the thrty-fth
at the side of the road, yard asunder, they would
not be distinguishable from another; II painted
red, they would appear collectively continuous
flash OF red color. If two trains with this speed
passed each other the relative velocity would be ~
Yards per second; and if one of the trains 70
yards long, it would fash by in single second Sup
posing the locomotive which draws such train to
have driving wheels seven feet in diameter, these
wheels will revolve five times in second; the piston
valve and the steam escapes ten times IN sec
ond but as there two cylinders which act alter
nately, there really twenty pufts OF escapes OF
steam in a second.
"The locomotive can be heard to cough when
moving slowly, the cough being occasioned by the
abrupt emission of waste steam up the chimney;
but 20 coughs per second cannot be separated by the
ear, their individuality becoming lost. Such loco
motive speed is equal to nearly one-ourth that of
cannon ball {; and the momentum of a whole train
moving at such speed would be nearly equivalent
to the aggregate force of number OF cannon balls
equal to onefourth the weight of the train. That
smash should follow collision is no subject for
marvel if train moving at such speed should meet
with any obstacle to progress"

DE4TH OF PERRIN BIIsBEE

| +
The painful duty devolves upon us of announcing
to our readers the death of PERRIN BUsBEE, of this
City, who expired after brief illness of bilious fever
on Friday evening last about half past seven O'clock
in the 9sth year of his age
Mr.. Busbee had been absent for several weeks, in
attendance as Reporter of the Supreme Court at
Morganton. He reached home the Saturday morn
ing previous to his death On Monday morning we
saw him in fine spirits and apparently excellent
health; but the evening of the same day he was
seized with the sickness which terminated in his
death.
Mr.. Busbee graduated with distinction at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, and was admitted at an
early age the practice of the law He rapidly
in his profession, and was justly regarded, at the
time of his DEATH as of our soundest and abest
lawyers. AS advocate he had no superior among
men of the same age with himself, while he was
nearly always associated in important with his
Seniors who had attained the front rank in the pro-
fession. He most attentive to the interests Of
his clients aborous in the preparation of his causes
and ardent in his pursuit of truth and justice
Mr.. Busbee was no seeker of public office. He
too modest to adopt any course in relation to
office which might leave the impression that he de-
sired it. had wish to obtain it the heads of
Others but at the same time served his party
principles than he did He was member of the
Baltimore Convention of 1840-repeatedly member
of the Democratic State Committee-Eector on the
Cass and Butler Ticket in 1s4S-Clerk of the House
of Commons for several sessions and at the time of
his death Reporter of the decisions of the Supreme
Court and Councillor of State. No one enjoyed
more than he the confidence of his party, and no
more popular with the masses in this Coun-
ty and District His popularity was the growth of
years. and was the natural result of his unseshness
and amiability of character. His death has
stoned profound sorrow in this community among
persons of all classes and parties The loss ndeeda
heavy to his family, to the bar, to his friends
here and in all quarters of the State and to the State
ITSELF for she had promising brilliant son.
He has been cut down in the vigor of manhood,
and at period when he had most to hope for,
and most to attach him to this present life. But
regrets are unavailing expressions of sorrow
have no effect upon the "dull cold ear of death.
The recollection of his many virtues will long be
cherished by his friends; and though to those near
to him by the ties of affinity and blood the bereave
ment is most stunning and agonizing still they have
the consolation of knowing that the gloom of the
grave had terrors for him. and that he has left to
them all the legacy of spotess and honored name.
His remains were inferred on Sunday morning
after most impressive funeral sermon by the Rev.
DIR. Lacy.

Coon TEMPER IS GOLD. npeople generally knew
what an advantage to them it was to be cheerful,
there would be fewer faces in the world and in
fnitely less i'll temper. A man never gains anything
by exhiting his annoyance in his face, much less by
bursting into passion AS it is neither manly nor
so it is alike foolish and absurd to allow feelings of
anger to deprive of selfcontrol There never was
any in any controversy who lost his temper that
If person plays the game of his enemies it is
when he is in passion. Acquantances shun men
of proverbially i'll temper; friends drop away from
them; even wives and children gradually learn to
fear them more than to love. Thousands of men
owe their want of success in life to neglectng the
control of their temper. Nor have they the excuse
that it is infirmty which cannot be restrained;
for Washington, though naturally of most passion
ate disposition, disciplined himself until he passed
for person utterly impassive. No man who neg
lects his temper can be happy any more than he can
health, everything Bad temper is curse to the
possessor and to society.
