: A Witness WORTH HearInr.

Mr.. H. C. Erminger Of the firm OF FIR
minger & Goldsmith, large candy manu-
facturers Atlanta Ga, cheerfully and CRATE
fully gives us the following wonderful
facts:
II reached Westminster August the 18TH,
that night was seized with u violent at
tack of cholera morbus. Fifteen actions on
he bowels occurred in less than four hours.
Tho pains kept on increasing and the nc
tions on my bowels were more frequent.
The usual remedies, Paregoric, Jamaica
Ginger, &c, were promptly, vigorously and
persistently used, but without avail. The
symptoms were growing worse and these
remedies were more than useless. BY a
lucky and happy thought Norman's Neu-
tralizing Cordial was procured and enc
dose, in u few minutes, brought marked re-
lief and four or five more effected a COM
plete cure. Before began the use of this
medicine, I was in the greatest agony, nv
bowels unchecked, and I was so completely
exhausted as scarcely to be able to speak
above n whisper. The relief was so sudden
and so complete, that could hardly realize
it, and knew no bounds to the ex preston
of my gratitude for tho remedy that saved
me from impending death. l now feel,
am doing a service to my fellow men IN
letting them know its merits that they also
may have its aid in time of their danger.

Grocery firm Of A. G. Wyly, Atlanta, Ga.

others will cheerfully testify to the above
facts"

CARLISLE CONSERVATIVES.

Mr.. Carlisle, upon assuming the duties
of the Speakership Of the House for The
Forty.eighth Congress, delivered a short
but admirable address-onc that WAS
faultless, and is most highly commended
by the press. If, previous to his elec-
ton, there. was fear expressed by his
opponents that if elected the business Of
the country would suffer from radical
legislation OH the tariff and other kin.
drcd subjects, there is now no room left
for any such apprehcnsions. Mr.. Car
Isle, in the extract :ron his address
which we publish below, has very briefly
stated the principles upon which the
Democratic party will wage the contest in
1854, aud which will lead to victory
Radical changes in the laws and regu-
lations affecting the commercial and in
dustrial Interests Of tho people ought
never to be made unless imperativcly de-
manded by some public emergency, and,
in my opinion, under existing crcum-
stances such changes would not be favor
ably received by any considerable mum.
DcT Vi tlpSc WHO ndfe given SERIOUS NJ
tention to the subject. Applause. |
Many reforms are undoubtedly necessary,
and it will be your duty, after careful
examination of the whole subject in all
its bearings, to decide how far they
should extend, and when and in wha:
manner they should be made. APP
rlanse, If there he any @hc fear :.a:
your action on this or any other subject
will actually be injurious to any interest
or even afford reasonable cause for alarm,
am quite sure tha: they sill be agree
ably disappointed. Applause.
What the country has the right to
expect is strict economy in the admins
tration of every department of govern
ment, just and equal taxation for public
purposes, the faithful observance Of the
limitations of the Constitution and q
scrupulous regard for the rights and in
terests of the great body of the people, in
order that they may be protected, as far
as Congress has the power to protcc,
them, against encroachment from every
direction. Whatever can be done under
the circumstances surrounding us to meet
this expectation, ought to be done, in my
judgment.

North Carolina 8 Lucky Hit.

1t is reasonably certain that no State
tax will be levied or collected in North
Carolina next year. AS has been hereto
fore mentioned by us the Legislature, q,
its session last winter, released the pur.
chascrs OF til; Western North Carolina
Railroad from complying with certain
provisions Of their C ,ntract, and in con-
sideration therefor they were to pay the
State 100000 before next May: and
the Legislature passed an act declaring
that If this payment of $600,G"o WAS
made no taxes for State purposes should
be paid, rs that sum would support the
Stute government. If tho railroad peo-
pie do not make this payment they are
not to be released from the original con-
tract, but We are pleased to learn from a
reliable source that the payment will
certainly be made at the time designated,
arrangements having already been made
by the railroad authorities for raising the
money. Our people will doubtless re-.
joice greatly to be relieved for one year
from the payment of a portion of their
taxes, but We doubt .he wisdom or policy
Of the Legislature in taking such actio n.

Whiskey Wins in Greenyille.

GREENvILLE, December 1.-The cleo
ton here to day on the question Of "Li.
cense" or "No License" passed off with
exceeding good humor and quiet, not.
withstanding the intense interest mani.
tested and the unusually heavy vote
polled. The polls opened at six o'clock,
when the liquor men rushed in crowd

solidly for License" The phnlanx was,
however, finally broken, and the voting
was quiet, with alternate squads of wet
and dry men, during the day. The
ladies of the Women's Christian Temper.
ance Union had an abundance of free
lunch at their rooms, near the City Hall,
where the election was in progress, and
in another building in the aamo vicinity
the colored temperance women were con.
Quoting similar institution. In other
portions Of the city the liquor men had
an abundance Of something to eat and

whites and blacks last night and to-day.
At twelve o'clock to-day, touching
demonstrations were made by process.
sions first OF white anu then of colored
children. Temperance banners were
hanging in profusion about the streets
and either side had band Of music on
hand and numbers of men were Mt work.
There was a continued, steady, quiet,
earnest and determined effort for either
side.
When the poll closed at six O'Clock
this evening sll that was known was
that the election was a close one. Both
sides were more or less confident but
uneasy. Twelve hundred and forty
eight votes were cast, six hundred and
siSty.four were for license and five
hundred and eighty four for no license.
giving majority of eighty for the
former.
The result is received with but little
show of disappointment by the "no Ii
cense" people, but with boisterous rejoic.
ing by the liquor %1eo who Sosrs are sending up
with drums, music and yelling. A
considerable majority of the colored vote
was for "license."

by the good people Of the city. The
sentiment against barrooms 10 day is
very strong and many respectable voters

negroes among the Wet men early on
Saturday morning are not legal voters
and that many voted who live beyond
tue limits of the city. They had been
drilled in squads the night before and
furnished with plentcous supply Of
whiskcy and were voted in body in the

whiskcy was lavi,hly, illegally and sue.
