The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or counterfetted. This
is especially true of q family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the rene
dy initiated is of the highest value. As
soon as it had been tested and proved
by the whole that Hop Bitters was the
purest. best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices
in which the press and people of the
country had expressed the merits of H.
B.. and in every way trying to induce
suffering invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in simi
lar style to H. B., with variously devils
ed names in which the word Hop or
Hops" were used in way to induce
people to believe they we're the same as
Hop Bitters, All such pretended rem
edies or cures, no matter what their
style or name Is, and especially those
with the word Hop" or Hops in
their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are imitation or
counterieits. Beware Of them. Touch
none of them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters with bunch or cluster of
green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers
are warned against dealing in limitations
or counterfeits.

The people along the entire route FROM
Raleigh to Tarboro are anxious for the

Everybody otcoUrse have their preference,
and tor this reason we want the Road
surveyed. SO as 10 let the people know
precisely where the bed of the Road will
be. and thus put an end to all clash and

We then wait the company to give Us
proposals for subscriptions, TO be taken

SO as to let us know what is wanted To
build the Railroad We desire Northern

at Raleigh, it will then open the way
from Raleigh to GAINESVILLE, the nearest
water navigation to Raleigh by number
Of miles, it being only ninety seven miles
from Raleigh to GAINESVILLE, making it
the shortest line for heavy freight to wa

is right in the midst of the finest grain

We think the company should survey
the Road at once, and show us where the
bed of the Road will be. Everybody in
this section favors the first survey, it be

Guilty in the way. A careful examination
of the company with the map of all the
Railroads will show them the best situa

number of Railroad meetings at various
places along the line, at once, SO as to
show the company that when the iron is
hot then is the time to strike. We are
all now in full blast, let them set the
pegs and We will try to get to them.

THE LOSS OF THE EsoAMBIA.

On Monday British iron steamer named
the Escambia, after having taken on board
2, 400 tons of wheat and so tons of coal,
went to sea, bound for Portugal, and cap
sized and sank FIVE miles from the Heads.
The Captain, engineer, cook and steward,
reached the shore yesterday morning, they
being the only survivors out of boat.load
of ten men. Another boat-load of seven
men has not been heard from. So sudden
and swift catastrophe has of course given
rise to all sorts of stories, but the general
opinion is tina. the steamer was badly
loaded, that she was top. heavy, and that
she could not stand up under the heavy
swell on the bar. The pilot who took her
out observed that she did not behave well.
and that she rolled in an alarming manner,
and he told the Captain that he did not
think her safe. The Captain, however
was determined to go to sea, and so he has
lost his ship and the greater part of his
crew. a very curious story is told about
the loading of this steamer so curious
that we lind it very difficult to accept it
though if it were true it certainly wonld
account for the capsizing of the yes.
sci. 1t is said that the Escamb;,
had number of iron tanks at
the bottom of her hold, for water
ballast, and that the water was pumped
out Of these tanks before she was loaded.

THE CYCLONE REGION

We do not know whether cyclones are
more frequent than formerly on the
Western prairies, for it is quite possible
that the spread of settlement makes them
appear so. 1t is, however, evident that
life in the regions effected by these phe.
nomena is at least as uncertain and full of
danger as life in a volcanic and earth
quake circle. Indeed, it is seldom that
earthquakes are so destructive as these
tornadoes. When the latter strike a
town or village they NOW regular
swathe through it, cutting down and
grinding into fragments everything in their
path. No buildings are capable OF with.
standing the immense pressure of the wind
under these circumstances. Stone, brick
or wood alike melts away before the ire
mendous blast. The recent tornadoes have
been more than usually destructive. 1t is
estimated that the loss of property alone
will reach at least million dollars, while
the number of lives lost is really appalling.
The worst of it is that there is no remedy
for the evil. Science suggests no methods
by which cyclones can be prevented or
diverted from their course, nor can their
advent be predicted, nor the places in
which they will appear. This total I'M
certainty must sooner or later exert de.
preciating influence upon real property in
the regions which have been visited by
the storms more than once, and it is even
possible that some such places may be in
time abandoned,

A SCRAP OF HISTORY

EDS. RECORD UNION; Permit me to re.
mind your readers of part of the recent his
tory of the debris case. In November, 1879,
the miners offered the city of Marysvills $780,
600 to postpone action in q suit, brought
against certain hydraulic mines, for 60 days.
This offer was refused by that city, and yet
not single melton has been made in that
case since. Marysville brought suits, but
they were allowed to remain untried. OF all
the suits brought, only that brought by Sac.
ramento county has been forced to trial, and
that was tried only because Attorney. General
Hart took the case out of the management OF
George Cadwalader and forced it to till. II
any of the suits brought had been tried, de-
cision like that rendered by Judge Temple
would have been obtained. The people of
Msrysville let their own suits die on the
docket and, through a Sacramento attorney
and Sacramento Board of Supervisors, forced
Sacramento county to bear the cost of test
case. After years of delay and Encouragement,
suit is at last forced to trial by the Attorney.
General and verdict in favor of the valley
obtained. But after all the boasts and
threats of the injured district, the whole
cost of the 6ght is forced upon Sacramento
county. But that even new any case has
been brought to trial is due solely to the pres.
ence of the Attorney General in the case;
and that the decree is what it is, may be at.
tributed to the same fact One case settled
the law for all, to the infinite disgust of the
advocates of numerous suits with big fees in
EACH WILL CUMBACK,
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1882-06-21

and that she was then filled up with wheat,
while eighty tons of coal were piled on her
upper deck. If this report is true there
is nothing mysterious about the capsizing
of the steamer, though there certainly is
something mysterious about the course of
the Captain and consignees in allowing so
crazy thing to be done. For this process
of emptying the tanks, and leaving them
to occupy space with air which ought to
have been filled with cargo, would have
been eminently calculated to produce the
capsizing OF the vessel at the first strain
upon her, and we did not suppose that any
man thought fit to be intrasted with the
command of large steamer was lmbecile
enough to allow his ship to be loaded in
such way. In fact if this story OF the
tanks is confirmed it would really look as
though the steamer was deliberately thrown
away. for under such conditions no sane
man could have expected her to make the
VOYAGE, even if she got safely out Of port.
Altogether the case is one which calls for
an investigation, but we do not suppose
any effective inquiry will be made unless
it is undertaken by the press.

THE LOYAL LEAGUE AND soYcorr1sa.

We have received letter from the
Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Loyal League of California, stating that
in a recent editorial on " Boycottipg" we
Internationally did that organization an
injustice, mentioning it among some bodies
which adopted that method of coercion
Our correspondent suggests that the error
probably arose from mistake of one of
the city tSan Francisco) press reporters"
This was the case. We took statement
in San Francisco journal as the basis of
our reference to the Loyal League, and
since we see that its Constitution has
no hint of Boycotting," and since eur
correspondent assures us that the organiza-
ton does not contemplate recourse to that
method, we very cheerfully put the fact on
record that we were misled in this instance,
and give equal publicity to the. statement
that the Loyal League is not and does not
mean to be, " Boycotting" organization.
There are several other societies from
which we should be glad to hear in the
same way, but thus far they have main.

THE LAST STRAW.

Guiteau's last straw has given way.
His counsel's appeal for ga writ of habeas
corpus has been denied by Judge Bradley,
and now only nine days intervene between
the assassin and death. BE has had far
too much time to prepare himself for that
change which so few people are ever pre-
pared for, but he has been SO borne up by
his sanguine spirit that he has probably
never yet realized the imminence of his
fate. Even now it is said that he looks
forward to a reprieve from President Ar.
thur, and it is possible that this hope may
sustain him until the day and hour of ex-
ecution arrives. Then, when at length he
realizes that there is no hope, it is highly
probable that he will break down. But it
is to be regretted that he could not have
been made to suffer in his own villainous
person something of the torture which he
inflicted, not only upon his illustrious VIC
tim, but upon fifty millions of his fellow.
