A case in point is Master Willie Hannah,
aged 7, whose parents live on StanwiX ST.,
Mt. Washington. When first brought to the
office of DR.. Byers he suffered with continual
headaches, coughed all the time, was always
hawking and splitting to clear his throat,
had pains in the chest both ears troubled
him a great deal and he frequently had
spells of sickness at the stomach, ETC., etc.
His mother said che just laid around all the
time and didn't feel like playing" DR..
Byers directed his treatment to the nose,
throat and ears, and gave him medicine
internally for his stomach, and was soon re-
warded by noticing an entire disappearance
of all the annoying symptoms-the little fel-
low has now all the vim peculiar to chill
dren of his age, is feeling we'll and growing
Dr. Byers has at the present time great
many children under his care, and has but
little trouble in treating them, as he wins
their confidence and affection from the first.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Grand Master Sweeny,

"This is not lockout now; it is a strike.

less number of men and switch engines than
usual, but it is being done, and the trainmen
wherever called upon are proving their
loyalty to the company by doing switching
duty in addition to their own.

VIOLATED THE COMMERCE LAW,
An Iowa Shipper Who Can Recover From
the Northwestern Road,

hIic cINOrth"tsttTu nOdus
DES MONIES, May 15.-Judge Shiras, o.
the Federal Court, rendered an important
decision under the interstate commerce law
to-day. The plaintiffs were grain shipper,
of Carroll, Ia, and the defendant the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway Company.
The plaintiffs claimed they were charged Is
cents per 100 pounds of grain shipped tc
had an 11-cent rate for the same dis.
tance.
The Judge ruled that the rate was in
violation Of the interstate law and the
plaintiffs have the right to recover the diff
ference between the rates, and also interest
on the money paid in excess of the Ne.
braska rate. A large number of similar
cases are still pending and the same de.
cision will no doubt be given.

CATARRH IN CHILDREN.

Children are as subject to catarrh as
other diseases, such as habitual headache,
cough, worms, collie, etc., is caused by this
disease. They become weak and puny, and
look like little dried-up old men and women,
when they should be sleek and fat and rosy.
Children who have become weak and puny
soon take on new life and growth under the
combined local and internal treatment as
practiced by Dr. Byers.

THE GREAT ISSUE NEXT YEAR

Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge under
takes to play the role of a politi-
cal prophet in the September
number of The Forum, in an ar
ticle on "The Political Issues OF
1892" and he predicts that the
most prominent issue in the next
presidential campaign will not be
the tariff question, but the ques-
ton of the fl lee coinage of silver.
The tariff question, he maintains,
is one that is always with us,
and is not settled now, and will
not be settled at any early date,
but that the agitation of the
free coinage of silver has now
reached SO acute a stage that it
is not going to pass away before
some definite action is taken, and
that the popular feeling is such
that this is obliged to come to u
crisis in the next years campaign.
In the first place it is not known
what will be the predominant
issue in the next campaign; as a
matter of opinion, however, the
silver discussions has already
reached it's zenith. The position
of Cleveland precipitatsd rumors
and discussion that are now
wearing off in the strong afflllia-
ton to his views. The tariff is
therecognized issue, ever, between
Democracy and Republicanism
and must be in the coming cam
paign.

SENATOR" PROCTOR.

The letter of Gov. Page an
nouncing his intention to ap-
point Secretary of War Proctor
to fill the seat made vacant in
the United States Senate by the
resignation of Senator Edmunds
did not create surprise, as this
result was generally expected.
It is considered quite likely that
Mr.. Proctor's successor will come
from the New England States.
There are those who think ex-
Governor Cheney of New Hamp-
shire, will be selected. Mr..
Cheney is a warm friend of the
President, and is said to have
been offered a place by Mr.. Har-
rison when he was first making
up his Cabinet. Gen. Veazey's
name has also been mentioned in
this connection. Whether Gen.
Veazey would accept or not is
another matter. The place he
now holds is thoroughly suited
to his taste and abilities, which
lie in a judicial direction. The
pay, 81, 900 per annum, is nearly
as large as that of a Cabinet Of
ficer, and he has still four years
and more to serve. That is q
good deal better, viewed only
from II business standpoint, than
the war portfolio for the balance
of the Harrison regime.

PAYS 6t' asRH ptsAs#HAs.

A few DAYS past the walls of a
great building in the city of New
York fell in and crushed the lives
out of sixty human beings. 1t was
from health, hope and happiness
that they dropped into the jaws of
an awful death.
We had hardly stopped to reflect
ui.on this dreadful calamity before
another crash comes, and the people
of our own State drape their homes
in mourning.
Thursday morning at thirty min
utes past two o'clock as the west
bound passenger train on the Wes-
tern branch of the North Corelina
road was speeding its way toward
Asheville, and when about two miles
beyond Statesville at a point where
the track crosses Third Creek over a
culvert, the rails spread and the en-
CINE jumped the track and made a
tremendous leap down sixty foot
enbankment, dragging in its awful
wake every car attached to the train.
The crash was like the tumbling
of a mountain, or the bursting of a
volcano. The ground trembled from
the awful jar, and then there was a
hush-a hush for one brief moment.
It was the silence that heralds the
storm. The pent up pain in broken
and crushed bodies writhing in I'M
utterable agony gasped one breath,
and then there broke from their
quivering lips wild shriek-a
shrek of horror and suffering-a
shrek that only comes from the lips
of dying men.
Attempt to paint the picture of
that awful scene and the pencil
would drop from a nerveless hand.
It was as if the East India Jau-
gernaut had rolled over thousand
victims and left just life sufficient to
utter its wall of woe and suffering.
There was mercy in instant death-it
sealed the lips and hushed the ears
of the suffering.

While recent legislation has
greatly restricted the privileges
of appeal to the Supreme Court
of the United States, there is one
respect in which the appellate
jurisdiction of that court has
been enlarged rather than d.
minished. The act of March 3,
1891, provides for appeals to
the Supreme Court from United
States district and circuit courts
Gin all cases of conviction of a
capital or otherwise infamous
crime" As it is. held by the
court that all crimes which are
punishable by imprisonment for
a term of years are Infamous
crimes, appeals in all such cases
may be taken directly to the
Supreme Court. Formerly only
capitalcases could be SO appealed,
and the effect OF the act, is there
fore, to greatly enlarge the
courts jurisdiction. The act
provides that the new circuit
courts of appeal shall exercise
appellate Jurisdiction, and that
their judgments shall be final Gin
all cases arising under the patent
laws, the revenue laws, the crimi-
nal laws, and in admiralty
cases." 1t Will thus be seen that
the new courts of appeal will
very considerably lessen the vol
ume of work which now reaches
the Supreme Court, and that a
vast proportion of the business
and other litigation of the coun-
try will terminate in these inter
mediate courts. Our highest
tribunal will now be able in a
great measure to cOnfine it's
work within the special jurisdic-
ton assigned to it by the Con-
stitution.

Considerable excitement is repor>
ted as existing in Harnett and john
son counties, this State, because
Judge Whitaker ordered the sheriff
not to allow any one to enter the
court house without a coat on. The
Smithfeld Herald thinks that the
Judge was transcending his power,
and says that this rule works hard
ship. One man who had a case in
court left home without coat and
his lawyer had to lend him one be-
fore he could have his case heard.
The Herald declares that if Judge
Whitaker has the power to compel a
man to wear a coat in the court
room, then he "also has the power
to say that man shall wear his
coat buttoned and that he must have
three buttons on it and they Of diff
ferent colors, aud that the coat must
be Of certain kind and made in a
certain pattern, ard when he enters
the court room that he must bow to
the court" Whether the Judge has
the power to order the wearing of
coats in his presence or not, the APP
pearance of a man in court without
such garment is certainly not the
thing.

A NEW METHOD.

Judge Winston, one of the
youngest men on the bench in
this State instituted new de-
parture in the punishment of
criminals, at the Roxhoro Super
ier Court last week.
Two negro men who had been
bound over to appear at court
failed to give bond, and were put
in Jail for safe keeping. They at
tempted to overpower the jailer
and escape. They failed, but in
flicted considerable bodily injury
upon him. They were brought
into court and convicted.
Judge Winston told them the
penalty would be quite severe,
and gave them their choice be-
tween submitting to whatever
the judgement of the court might
be, and being whipped with coats
off with a buggy whip by a col
ored man, each to receive thirty
nine lashes well laid on. They
concluded to take the whipping,
but no colored man could be got
ten to do the work, 40 the services
of a white man were procured.
The men were carried inside the
jail enclosure, which screened
them from public view. Being
short of funds, it was suggested
that they would admit those
desired to see the mode of justice
executed at a charge of 25 cents
q seat. The prisoners agreed to
this arrangement, and received
gate money enough to pay all
costs. This is q startling inno-
walton upon the administration
Of Justice to North Carolina, and
Judge Winston has made HIM
self famous.
Hmore such modes Of punish
ment were resolved to in cases
of this kind, it would be better
for the State and decidedly more
effectual in eliminating crime.

THE POLITICAL BLATHER-
SKITH.

That old political blatherskite
and turncoat of many colors-
one Jerry Simpson, oil the way
from bleeding Kansas" is now
"orating" in North Carolina tell
ing the men of 1865, and their
descendants, their political duties
and responsibilities in this year
of grace 1891. Did old Jerry
fight those men in the war times?
He gives the precise advice we
suppose a man of flatulent ora
tory and demagogical turn would
give-to split up the grand old
Democratic party, betray the
South to it's enemies and turn
traitors to the past-its hallow-
ed memories, its precious sancti-
ties, it's noble traditions, its
grand associations, it's imrerish-
able glories, it's splendid record,
and to unite with the enemies of
our people to farther blind and
strip our people. By the way,
was not this Jerry Simpson a
Republican? We mistake the
character and temper and intel
ligence of North Carolina farm
ers if they follow the advice of
the Kansas Wil-o'-the- Wisp.-
Wilmington Messenger.
