The enemies and rivals of Judge
Crisp are circulating the report that
the Union Pacific Railroad is one of
his hackers for the speakership.
Crisp's friends Indignantly deny this.
do not believe there is one word of
truth in it.
Even this city, distant as it is,
praises the Winston Baseball team.
They have earned an enyiable repu-
tation which sincerely hope they
will maintain.
The Civil Service Commission has
adopted new set of rules which have
been approved by the President. The
most important of these regulates
promotions in the departments and
makes them dependent on the marks
secured at examinations. Hereto
fore personal favorites have been
promoted over the heads of those
whose merit entitled them to prece-

North Carolina,

Our State is a magnificent empire

It is land of grandly swelling

Electricity for Bicycles.


A mechanical genius that the Bos
ton Herald knows is at work on an
interesting bicycle attachment. "a
small electric machine is to be placed
under the saddle and operated by a
connector with the tire. The cleo
tricity thus generated is reserved in
storage battery and used to assist
the rider in climbing hills. No pow
er is lost, as the device is to be SO
arranged that the connection with
the tire can be made when descend
ing the hills this acts as a brake,
and utilizes the surplus energy. The
contrivance is not intended to be
powerful enough to drive the ma
chine alone, but will furnish assist
ance to the rider to make hill-climb
ing very easy"

Mormans Prospecting In Mexico

According to M. Lopez, a Mexican
miner, who is quoted in the Spanish
newspaper Eft Monitor, of Nogales,
Arizona, the difficulties experienced
in the United States with the Nor
mons of Utah are likely to be repeat
ed in Mexico within a few years. The
Mormons, he says, are making ex-
traOrdinary progress in the Mexican
States of chihuahua and Sonora. In
the single valley ofCorralitos, in Chi
huahua, there are more than 1000
families, living in several colonies.
The colony Diaz, the largest of these
settlements, was established about
seyen years ago. The Mormons are
Transforming the desert into gar
den. Their prosperity is remarkable.
Each year they accumulate enough
to enable them greatly to extend the
area under irrigation. The people of
Diaz have wells, and in addition
bring the water from the mountains
for the irrigation of their lands.

A CO0l>Hoaded Engineer,

It is said that Mr.. A. ]. Martin,
the young engineer on No. 3 of the
r. & S. road is one of the best and
safest engineers on the line. Those
who saw his action on the occasion
of the wreck on tho Ladford excur-
sion train on lst of August, praise
him for his GOODNESS and presence of
mind. Mr.. A. c. Preston, city en-
gineer of Winston, says that but for
the promptness and presence of mind
with which he saw and ayerted the
danger, there would have occurred
on the above occasion, a heavy
wreck, causing perhaps q terrible
loss of life. There have been sever
al instances in which Mr.. Martin
showed himself worthy of the posi-
ton he holds.-Madison News.

Fashion in Diseases.

"Dise asesbecome fashionable just
like styles of Dress" says a physici-
an. 'Look, for instance, at the re-
markable run that malaria has had.
About two dozen distinct ailments,
not one of which Is due to bad air.
(malaria,) now go by that name,
Even the physicians humor many OF
their patients by using the word when
they know that something else is the
matter. Then take heart failure. A
few years ago there was no such a
thing as heart failure. There is no
such thing now outside the newspap-
ers. Or rather to speak more accu-
rately, every death is due to heart
failure; that is, to the inability of the
heart to work any longer"

STATE OF WILKES"
The Members Of the Press and Other
Invited Guests
GIVEN AN EXCURSION ON FRIDAY
A Delightful Ride Through a Beau
tfful Countrywide Hospitality of
North and Old Wilkesboro-A Stop
at Elkin.

The members of the Press Associa-
tion and about one hundred invited
guests went up to Wilkesboro Sat-
urday on an excursion train tender
ed by Col. A. B. Andrews, End Vice
President of the Il. & D. system.
Among the party were the members
of the Salem Orchestra and three or
four ladies'
The excursion train, including one
observation car and two other
coaches, left Winston at $50 a. M,
and arrived at North Wilkesboro at
noon.
The train glided smoothly and
swiftly over the magnificent road bed
which is furnished with the best of
60 pound steel rails; passing at each
successive moment through new
scenes of loveliness.
Upon arriving at North Wilkesboro
the visitors were escorted to the ele-
giant hotel, which has lately been
erected on an eminence near the
depot, where they partook of a
sumptuous dinner, rendered them at
Hotel Gorden by the North Wilkes
boro Land Company. Spending some
time here enjoying the cool breezes
and the magnificent mountain seem
cry, after which they were driven in
carriages over the property of the
Improvement Company, and then
across the river to Wilkesboro.
The people Of the good old town of
WilkesbOrO entertained the visitors
in royal style at their fine new hotel,
and persuaded 4 number of the edit
ors to spend the night iii the town
and take a trip across the mountains
to Taylorsville. Among those
who remained were Messrs. Caldwell,
Williams, and Harper.
About 5 O'Clock in the afternoon,
the crowd returned to North Wilkes
| horo and started for this city. A
stop of half an hour was made at
Elkin where the excursionists were
warmly welcomed and treated to
| fine peaches, cider, lemonade and
beautiful bo1uets, the flowers being
| distributed by number of exceed
ingly pretty little girls.
| Everybody seemed delighted with
the trip, and praises of the Yadkin
Valley were to be heard on every
hand. 1t is indeed a grand country
inhabited by grand people.
The train reached Winston about
8 o'clock.

trained assistants, who accompanied
him from Richmond and who served
with such skill and efficiency in the
role as assigned them, contributed
largely to the perfect success of this
grand affair.
During the royal feast, the Salem

music, which lent an additional
charm of enjoyment to the occasion.

declaration, which was put in the
form of resolution, that the Farm

that any publication that the farm

learn that Mr.. Frank A. Richardson,
the Baltimore Suns European COR
respondent, had a taste of the old
Duke of Nassau's deserted vintage
at Wiesbaden. His very excellent
letter from that city, dated July q,
seems proof that the nectar from the
musty old bottles had not only filled
the circumamblent air, but found a
lodgment where it would do the
most good.
