ANDREW LARSON. the captain of the
schooner Mary Anderson, has arrived
i'll San Francisco with one finger less
than he sailed with. While fishing one
day on one of the southern islands he ran
across a lot of abalones on some dry
rocks. In attempting to pick one off
he put his little finger under the shell,
when the animal closed Oh it, making
him a prisoner. The tide began to rise.
and the gallant captain still found him
self held fast, Notwithstanding hat he
had broken all the blades of his knife
save II in trying to pry open the shell.
When the tide went above his waist he
concluded that it was better to lose a
finger than be drowned, and so with
the remaining blade OF his knife he cut
his little finger Off.

HEALTHI HEALTH

Great Southern Remedy.

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, the result OF prOtracted chills and indi-
gestion, terminating in diseases OF LIVER,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimentlng, I succeeded in discovering a
combination of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a , emcdy for diseases
OF all the internal organs superior to any
known in a life OF suffering and practice of
fifty years. AS by it | have been restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect hea. tn, without any other medicine,
for those diseases over three years past. It
also Ell abled me to travel all the winter of
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, IN all kinds
of weather, and eating any and ever thing set
before me with impunity. 1t has since cured
me of chills and prevented ms taking ola
grippe" and relieved those Of the late cpl
demic who tried it. 1t is also proving valua-
bic in many email diseases.

H BATTLE IS ON.

Step by step the LABOR movement IS
making Roadway against party rings
and bossism, and we see many OF the
old partisan leaders RELOCATED to the
rear. An avalanche of condemnation
is coming upon those who have broken
faith with the people. From every
nook and corner We read of the great
movement which IS uniting the labor
element Ill over the nation, and we
predict that two years more will bring
a revolution undreamed of at the
present time. So strong has the
move ment become in some sections of
the country that the two old parties
are talking of coming together for the
purpose of fighting the reform move
ment. 1t will do no good, gentlemen.
The die is cast" and the people are
going to rule this Republic in spite
of partisan leaders and m%onopolies.
Within the next four years many of
the present partisan leaders will go
into oblivion with their memory clothed
with universal detestation by those
whom they have betrayed and sold to
monopoly. We have about reached
the crisis; the battle between the peo-
pie and the corporations is on, and
will continue. It's a struggle between
right and wrong, liberty and slavery,
and money and flesh and blood

WEEKLY WEATHER CROP Bull.
LETIN
For the Week Ending Saturday, Sept,
goth, 1890.

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. G.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bull, tin, issued
by the North Carolina Experiment
Station and State Weather Service,
cooperating with the United States
Signal Service, show that the week
ending Saturday, September 20, 1890,
has been unfavorable for crops and
farm work of all kinds. The first
four days of the week continued to be
very damp with frequent rains, and
the injury done to cotton is consider
able. Excessive warmth and mois.
ture has caused cotton to rot or sprout
IN the bolls, while that which had al
ready opened has been stained and
otherwise considerably damaged. The
latter part of the week, Wednesday
to Saturday, has been cooler and
clear, and altogether more favorable,
permitting farmers to resum picking
where it had been interrupted. In
many places TOBACCO is nearly all
housed. In the western portion of
the State a light frost in low places
occurred on the 18th. At Fork
Church, Davie county, a heavy rain
and hail storm on the 18th injured
crops to some extent.
