TEIEGRAPHIC MESSAGES FOR LoNDoN-ilie
Boston Traveller reports that two business messages
from New York merchants to their correspondents
in England passed through the American Telegraph
office on Thursday, en- route for London: Ole ~
them, containing ifty-scven words, paid through
ifty-sevcn dollars, and the cthertwenty words,
Tor which twenty-sevcn dollars were paid
The Richmond Enquirer, speaking OF the benct
fits of this great achievement, very properly says:
"While the whole country to the North OF us
is rejoicing over the successful laying of the
TELEGRAPH, and concratuating each other upon d
result for which all hoped, but few confidently
expected, it may seem inopportune in us to ask
what good to us will be accomplished by this great
event? We are brought nearer to Europe in effect,
it is true; we are placed in almost instantaneous
communication with the great pecunary heart OF
the world; but still we do not see that this country
will derive very much advantage after all from the
Atlantic telegraph. As nation we must accept
its benefits only by consent Of England, and that
Low NAV hn
withdrawn at any moment, even after We have paid
the subsidy. The messages Of England are to have
precedence of all others. Her government can
stop the transmission of the dispatches of the
American Government whenever the Secretary OF
State in England shall think proper.

For Tie Nesfcrn Democrat.

Mr. EDITOR: wish through your columns to
say few words to the members of the medical
profession of this county, and to all who peruse
your paper.
| received this week the first number of the
Medical teyiew of North Carolina, edited by Ed
ward Warren, NJ. D., of Edenton and published
under the auspices of the State Medical Society
It is gotten up in good style, and although we
might reasonably expect the first number to be
rather uninteresting yet it will agrecably disap-
point any unprecedented mind 1t contains many
useful hints and several able articles, from the
pens of some of the first physicians in our State
think it worthy the patronage not only of every
member of the North Carolina Medical Society,
but of every member of the medical profession in
the State. 1t is what we have long since wanted,
n medium through which physicians can exchange
their views aud opinions, and mpart to their pro-
fessional brethren that knowledge which their in
diyidual experience has gained for them. 1t is
an enterprise in which, every member of the pro-
tession should feel an interest," for if it succeed
each one of us will be benefited thereby and if it
fail each of us will be the looser. Then let it
not be said that the medidal profession of North
Carolina cannot, or will not, support Medical

TIE CoTToN MANUFACTURE.-An intelligent
correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from Providence, furnishes some interesting infor-
imation in relation to the cotton manufacture. He
states that the best cotton now costs, when deliver
ed either in Providence Boston, 13i cents per
pound. Cotton has been steadily advancing in
price for eight or ten years, Notwithstanding a
rapid increase Of production. In 1913 the crop
exported from the United States was Sl4 ,274 600
lbs; the average price was 7.81 cents per ID. The
crop of 1916 exported was 1,354 43l ,701 lbs, at
Gal cents per lb. The exports of 1857 were
1,048, 2S2 47G lbs, at 1856 per lb. The home
market iii 1856 absorbed 100000 bales of 400
pounds each or little less than one-sixth of the
tire crop. At present prices this amount of raw
material would be worth S3l 100000. 1t is i'm
practicable to ascertain what additional value is
given it by the labor skill and ingenuity bestowed
upon its manufacture, but it is probably no exag-
geration to estimate the gross proceeds of this
branch Of industry in the New England States at
100000 eco per annum

THE BRITISH I'm INDIA.

4 letter from one OF the English officials in Eng
land has the following confirmation of the gross
misrule and miserable folly Of the British authori
ties in that land
LAS for the instruction being at an end, it Is
10 more so at this moment thau it was twelve
months ago. If anything, farther from it. He
maintains that it was not Il military mutIny,
but universal rebellion Of the people against
oppression and misrule. For years and
years. he says, ''evcr since that abominable
Affghanistan campaign, cur course has been all
down hill; and we have been acting as if We were
under moral responsibility whatever-as If India
were thing made for mere worldly adsant-
age and for nothing else-the natives of the soil
better than tlc wild beast of the jungle, or be-
ing more helpless, only fit to be made hewers Of
wood and drawers of water, the slave of the white
man-that any pretcnccs on their part to share OF
the inheritance God had ASST ned them, was rank
trcason-that opinions, customs and usages as old
as these hills, and tondly cherished as an Eng
shmans liberty, were to be given up and cast
aside, with lis much you would throw aside
al old bonnet, if they did not square with John
Bulls notions, OF stood in the way Of his selshness
and cupidity. This is exactly what we have been
doing for the last twenty years-wc have attempted
many, things which even the LOldcst and most
daring Of their own native princes would never
have had the madness to venture on"

EFFECT OF TOO MUCH ACID.

There are many persons in the world saws the
Scientific American, who, thinking themselves
either too thin too corpulent to accord with their
beau ideal of symmetry and beauty of person, are
constantly exercising their minds with view of
increasing or diminishing their rotundity, and in
many eases, applying remedies for their supposed
defects, which eventually destroy their health.
Young ladies Of full habit, fearing further
innovation upon the symmetry of their waists, are
not slow to resort to copous and constant draughts
ofacidulated liquids, Without rejecting that they i'm
pair and in fact arrest the operation of the diges
tive organs when taken beyond certain point.
There is reason in the vulgar notion, unhappily
too fondly relied on, that vinegar helps to check
any alarming obesity, and that ladies who dread
the appearance of their graceful outline in curves
Of plumpness, expanding into fat, may arrest so
dreadful an evil by liberal potations of vinegar; but
this can only be accomplished at the far more
dreadful expense Of health. The amount OF acid
which will keep them thin will destroy their diges-
tive powers. Portal gives a case which should
be a warning:
GA few years ago. a lady, in easy circumstances,
enjoyed good health; she was very plump, had
good appetite, and complexion blooming with
roses on polished ivory groundwork. She began
to look upon her plumpness with suspicion, for her
mother was very fat, and she was afraid of becom-
ing like her. Accordingly she consulted woman,
who advised her to drink glass of vinegar daily
The young lady followed the advice, and her
plum ncss diminished She was delighted with
the experiment, but she soon began to experience
the evil effects. A cough and slow fever came on,
with difficulty Of breathing; her body became
lean and wasted away, swelling of her lower limbs
and feet succeeded, and diarhea terminated her
life" y
Ifruddy and round young ladies pine for grace,
full slimness and romantic paor let them avoid
vinegar and other acids destructive to health, and
either accept with laughing grace what nature
has bestowed on them, or else practice proper
regimen and system Of habits, to avoid what they
so much dread. Take plenty of exercise, be less
INDECENT, and more moderate in the quantity Of
sleep INDUCED in, as much sleep implies much in
activity and leads to an accumulation of fluids in
the body, and the consequent deposition Of fat in
habits predsposed to secretion. Those, on the
other hand, who wish more obesity, we would adj
wise to indulge in good feeding composed of plenty
of frinaceous food with but little meat and plenty
pure, fresh water, and lead calm life, free from
mental inquetudc.

EIGHT BOYS SHoT.-The Pittsburg Journal of
Saturday has the following particulars Of an unfor
tunate affair:
MIR Robert McCurdy, old and we'll known
citizen resident Carpenters alley, on the east
side of Trinity, church grounds, was married
Thursday afternoon, to young lady of some % or
"A years. McCurdy is said to be over 60 years of
age This disparity in the ages of the couple ex-
cited remarks among the neighbors, who expressed
their feelings without at what they consid-
cred Unnatural union. 1t seems that the bows
fully sympathized with the feelings of the older
people. In the evening a number ofthem, perhaps
fifteen or twenty, gathered about McCurdys resi-
dence, and commenced pelting the house with
brckbats and stones, some of which were thrown
through the windows and doors Mr. McCurdv
went out and demonstrated with them, warning
them to go away, but they paid no attention to
him: The company present were much alarmed,
fearing personal injury from the mob without
Mr. McCurdy then seized pistol heavily loaded
with shot and fred upon the crowd, wounding, Az
we are informed, eight of the boys.
