and painful sic4bess to robust health
marks an epoch in life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bitters. So many

health to use of the Great Alter
ative and tonic. Ifvou are troubled

THE BREATHING GAVE.
"A PHENOMENON OF WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Western North Carolina is a section
fulL1of wonders and curiosities. When
all the freaks and strange things in
among those mountains shall be discov-
cred, the state will be in danger of be-
ing known as the Museum State. -
One of the wonders is described by a
recent tourist as follows:.
In the range of mountains known as
the fork range" most singular phe-
nomenon exists. 1t is the breathing
Cave.n In the summer months cur
rent of air comes from it SO strongly
that person cannot walk against it.,
while in the winter the rush of air in
ward is just as great.
The cool air from the cave in summer
is felt sometimes for miles in a direct
line from the mouth of the cave. At
times an unpleasant oder is emitted up
on the current from dead animals suck
ed in and killed by coming in violent
contact with the walls. The loss of
cattle and other stock in that section
during the winter months Is always
great, and is accounted for in this way.
They range too near the mouth and the
current carries them in.
At times, when the change from in
halation to exhalation begins, the air
is filled with hairs of the various ami
mails not infrequently small dry bones
have been carried for over a mile from
the mouth of the mouth of the cave as
though shot from an air gun. The air
has been known to chang quite sudden

hot, accompanied by terrible roaring
and gurgling sound

Canal Work at Weldon Begun.

The long expected event which is
to give new life and impetus to this

BONDED SALT TO BE USED ONLY
FOR CURING FISH.
AN INSPECTOR VISITS EDENTON TO IN
VESTlGATE ALLEGED IRREGULAR USE
OF SALT WITHDRAWN FROM BOND
ED WAREHOUSES.

Mr.. James T. Caulk. Special Inspector
of Customs. has been in EdentOn dur
ing the week, having been sent from
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton to investigate alleged irregular use
of salt withdrawn from bonded ware
houses for curing fish caught in the
sound waters. Complaints have been
made to the Department at Washington
that gross irregularities exist at Eden
ton, N. c., and that persons are guilty
of flagraEt violations of the Z. S. Laws
by disposing of good portion of the
bonded salt to customers who use it for
all purposes when the same should only
be used for curing fish caught in the
sound waters.
In order to protect the government
from these irregularities, the authori-
ties at the Treasury Department exact
certain certificates from the receiver of
bonded salt, together with the o tth of
another person actually employed in
curing fish on shore, and to the quantity
Of salt used for that purpose. And all
persons knowingly making miscepre-
sentations in order to secure the cancel
lation of the bond given, places them
selves liable to prosecution by the gov
ernment.
Mr.. Caulk has counceled with Collec-
tor Bond, of Edenton Port, with the
view. if the complaints are true, that
close supervision in the future will ally
all complaints.
The Inspector favors the preventative
policy and will return to Washington
hoping the complaints will cease.

IN THE CHAIN GANG.
CROSS AND WHITE SERVING OUT THEIR
TERMS.

Cross and White have been turned
over by the Sheriff of Wake county to
W. G. Allen, superintendent of the
work-house- At once they were trans
ferred to the gang at work in Raleigh
township, on the roads, under Mr.
McMackin. A reporter was told by
Mr.. McMackin that Cross and White
were right at work, uncomplainingly
and in earnest.
1t is quite probable that petition
will be made for the shortening of
their terms of sentence. They naturally
have many sympathizers, and White
has petitions with hundreds of sigma
lures.

OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN !
WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS DURING
THE WEEK.

Our man finds it quite cool this
week as he takes his usual stroll
about town, but, he gets there just
the same"
Tue weather has changed from
genial warm sunshine and Ap-il-like
showers to cold north winds and
rainy. and indications point to the
idea that "winter will linger in the lap
Of spring.
Our man takes a walk in the upper
portion Of our town where he finds q
number Of Improvements going on.
Surely the old town is on genuine
boom, in the way of building-every-
body has the building fever Even
some of the "'old fogies' have the
fever and are useing some Of their
''old cankered coin" The town is
building and our population is
swelling. What we now need is
more push and plenty of it among
our men of business. Edenton has
large number of business men, and if
they would only throw off the yoke of
lethargy and buckle on the "armor
Of progress" and work as they should,
we have no fears in saying that she
would soon attain TO that eminence
for which Nature intended her-the
manufacturing and commercial cen
ter Of Eastern Carolina. If our bus
mess men would practice more lib
eraliUy, public spirit and sagacity
they could give new impetus to the
growth and trade of this town. and
at the same time would greatly en-
hance the value of their own pos
sessions. If the money which some
keep locked up for safety was en-
ployed in establishing
NEW INDUSTRIES
they would not only entitle them
selves to the gratitude of the public,
but would themselves reap larger
profits. The natural advantages of
Chowan county are surpassed by
those of no other county In the state,
and we cannot understand WHY our
people do not care for and develop
them. All that is wanted is brain.
capital, push and patience to win
success.
We should work together, pull long
and strong. In union there is
strength. We should take upon
ourselves new life and do everything
for the advancement of our place
Let erybOdy feel that part of the
success of the growth Of the town
depends on him alone. When a new
fellow comes to town and wants
to start a new thing, encourage him,
If his calling is at all worthy. IF you
want to see your town take on new life
try to do something to create new lite.
Let all pull together for one noble
purpose. Bury every personal feel
ing deep in oblivion when in the way
of our towns prosperity. Don't
growl; that is natural for BEARS;
speak well of the place in which you
live and if business happens to be
a little dull at the time, don't grunt,
hogs do that, but 60 ahead and
turn new thing, that makes trade
start. Above all, give your poor
town newspaper a good word and
a years subscription, at least once
year, for it is poor paper indeed
that does no good.

ed and blame the postal authorities when
in fact they themselves are only to blame.

causes which occasion the failure of mail

tho case of mail addressed to small Off
ces, or where there are offices of like
names in different states, the name of
the county should be added.
As the immense quantity of matter cent
through the mails is necessarily required
to be handled rapidly by the railway mail
clerks and at the postofices in the cities,
too much care can not be exercised in
