The modes of deaths approach are yari-
Gus, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the Throat
and Lungs than any other. 1t is probable
that everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop,
at first slowly and is shown by a slight tick
ling sensation in the throat and if allowed
to continue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to the
head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is
dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may lose
you your life. As soon as you feel that
something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup. twill give you immediate
relief

The Heroes Of the gettysburg Fight.

Ell. c., writing from Gettysburg to the
New York Evening Post, thus speaks OF
Pickett's charge on July 3, 1868: 81 do not
recall anything in military history which
can quite match it, among even such ex-
PLOTS as the march of the English column
at Fontenoy, the rush of Macdonald's col
umn across the plain at Friedland, the
crowning of the heights of Albuera by the
British in Spain, or the attack on St Priyat
bv the Prussian Guards in 1870. No cav
airy exploit can be compared to it, neither
the charge of the Light Brigade nor that Of
the French Cuirassers at Reichsofen. In a
cavalry charge there is exhilaration in the
swift motion through the air, and no strain
of exertion on heart or lungs, and the eX-
element or agony of expectation Is sure to
be brief But Pickett's men, laden with
arms and ammunition, had to make their
way under burning July sun across fields
heavy with grass or grain, over 200 yards
fully equal to a mile on the high road
under the shells aud grape shot Of l2O guns,
and towards the end the pitilcss peldng of
10000 rifles, leaving heaps Of dead at every
step, without Sinking, and they carried
their flag into the enemy's lines. No
American who admires human courage and
endurance can walk over the ground they
covered with their dead without feeling
proud that this continent has produced such
men,"

Ina the Supreme Court there is suit pend
ing for 100000 brought by Morton, Bliss
az Co. agaiuS. She State of North Carolina.
The Norton here named is the Levi of the
Republican ticket, the an lie Mortong," Of
Paris. NJ. le Mortong's firm desire the State
of North Carolina to make good S9O00OO0
worth of bonds which Morton, Bliss q Co.,
bought while North Carolina was in the
possession of the carpet-bag government
If the Court decides that this nine millions
of dollars is good the State of North Caro-
lima will have to pay Sll5,Ooo,oo0 more on
the same issue of bonds.
This suit Of NJ lie Mortong's is in har-
mony with his record as q consistent Repub-
lican. If he wants this nine million dollars
from North Carolina he will not be the first
Republican who has made much gold out Of
the suffering of the Southern States at a
time when they were powerless within the
grip Of the arpet-baggers. NJ lie Mortong
is a rich man. He was put on the Repub-
ican ticket because he had much Doodle.
How much of this has he gotten from the
South How much more will he get from
the South with his party in power? If he
carries North Carolina will not that fact
enable him to collect that nine million dol
lar claim All these questions are strictly
