The Advertiser says: The Press was in
error in stating that the local health officers
have no authority to prevent the landing of
the rags from the Susanna. The last in
structions received at the custom house
from the Treasury Department are as fol-
lows:
All old rags imported into the United States in
vessels which have passed local quarantine at
the port of importation will be admitted to entry
in the same manner as other imported cOmmOdi-
ties-that is to say without requiring special per
mits from the health officer as to their landing.
The fact that the vessel has passed quarantine
will be considered as sufficient evidence that her
entire cargo is free from infection.
The local board of health stated that the
last instructions from the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury takes the matter out OF
their hands.

AS healthful summer drink, with water, milk,
iced water lemonade, efferyescent draughts and

addicted to their use, allays nervousness assists
digestion, promotes sleep, and builds up those re-
duced by debility, and oyerwork.
Mothers worn out with the cares of maternity or

of 10th February, furnishes an inter

Lynch Clemmons, on his connection
with the invention of the electric
telegraph. Mr.. Clemmons was born
in the village OF Clemmonv lie,
then in Rowan, now in David
son county, in the year 1913. At
the age of Is he was sent to Ran
dolph-Macon College, Virginia, where
he graduated in 1897. In 1893 he at
tended lectures on chemistry and
took much interest in the subject of
electric currents, conceived the idea
of the telegraphsa drew a scheme
which he submitted to some of his
fellow students, who laughed at him
as a visionary when he asserted that
the time would come when men
would converse across a continent
by means of wires and galvanic bat
teries and that the inhabitants of
different countries. separated by
oceans, would SO converse. Hearing
of a scientist named Page, in Wash

est in the subject Of electricity, Mr..
Clemmons wrote to him, giving his
views, a diagram of the method he
proposed, the manner of arranging
and insulating the wires, and the al.
