LETTER FROM FEB VANCE
THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT HIS
HEALTH
Gives His Views of the situation
He Says the Democrats VIII
Garry the state TriuInphantly
and Gives His Reasons.

GoMRRooN, Sept. II.
Wade II. Harris, Editor Charlotte News.
DEAR SIR: In answer to yourIkind let
ter of inquiry concerning my health and
my opinion Of the political situation,
give you this brief note.
am recovering my health slowly but
quite surely and uninterruptedly. Every
day l feel stronger, my appetite is good,
my digestion perfect and sleep like a
just man and Democrat. This glori-
Gus mountain air and the quiet of the
wooded highlands have been of inestima-
BILE benefit to me. Though shall most
likely not be able to take any part in the
campaign as speaker, | hope l shall
be quite well enough to resume my du.
ties as Senator when Congress meets.
For the first time in my political life
sit quietly at home and listen to the dis
tant roar of Il great conflict of American
ireemen i'll the process of selecting their
rulers. To sit still and give no blow is
novel sensation to me, but it may be that
rs my blood is not heated by the strife
can see things more clearly and Judge
more accurately and this is my opinion
of the contcsti the Democrats will carry
the State triu,nphantly. The average
citizen of North Carolina is sensible,
practical and patriotic, and notwith-
standing the present distord and confu-
sion in our ranks, before he votes he will
reason it out that by voting for the Third
party candidates he will probably help
throw our State into the hands of the
negroes and scalawags, and elect a Re-
publican President and House of Repre-
sentatives, whilst her own cherished re-
forms would be indefinitely postponed.
There is no other view a sensible man
can take. Our people illprove equal to
the occasion now as heretofore.
Yours very truly,
Il, y, Vance,

SOME JOINT BOARD WORK
WORK AT THIS MORSING'S
SESSION.
There ~ Great Deal of Talk
About More E'aViug, But Very
Little Is Done-8auipic of Brick
SubIiittcCs with Prices.

The special meeting OF the Joint Board
was held today in City Engineer Lees
office, Mayor Blanton presiding. There
were present Aldermen Gudger, Starncs,
Mcdowell, Baird and Leonard; Advisors
Scott, Cummings and Green.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of considering paving matters. Two
samples of brick were submitttd to the
committee, and by it submitted to the
Board. One was from the Knoxville
Brick company, the price being $40 a
thousand on board cars at Knoxville
The second sample was from the Roam
oke Brick aud Construction company,
the price being $21 thousand delivered
in Asheville.
There was long discussion as to
whether the Board SHOULD authorize the
sale of another 500, 900 worth of bonds
and advertise for bids for paving Hay
wood and College streets and Mcrrimon
avenue, but there was no decision,
hS N'Nb NiSllISNli VIZ holioll VI A'i ,
Starnes, was instructed to make an esti-
mate OF the number of yards of paving
on College street from North Main to
the foot of the mountain; Merrimon
avenue, entire length, and Haywood
street from Buttrick street to Smiths
bridge.
On motion of Mr.. Stalnes Webb, Oates,
l>skridse s. Co., will hereafter be paid
80 per cent. of their estimates instead of
S5 per cent.
The city engineer was instructed to
test the samples of brick and report to
the Board on Friday.
A motion was made by Alderman
Starnes to the effect that Webb, Oates,
Eskridge & Co. be allowed to lay on
Patton avenue as many brick as they
could get over three car loads day.
The three car loads are wanted tor South
Main, according to tic motion. But it
was defeated.
Street Superintendent Henderson called
attention to the need Of new sidewalks
on several streets leading to the graded
schools. The question is one for the
Board OF Aldermen, but the Joint Board
will lend it's aid IT necessary i'll getting
better walks.
| The Adjournment was to Friday at 3
=. nl,, when decided steps are expected to
be taken in the paving matter.

vile, as State Superintendent of Assem-
bly,.
The reports of all committees were
read on Saturday. The resolution on
kecley cures brought forth round of
applause. The resolution was as follows:
Resolved that we express our SYM
pathy and interest in Kelley cures, pray
ing meantime that they may be used in
the hands of providence for aiding in the
destruction of the liquor traffic, by pre-
sent'ng an object lesson, showing the in
consistency of our government in licens-
ing business that necessitates the es-
tablishment of institutions for the heal
ing of its victims"
Several invitations were extended for
the convention in 1898, but the decision
as to place of meeting, was left to the ex-
ecutive meeting. Hopes are entertained
that session will be held at Waynesville
Just preceding the Assembly of next
year.
Greensboro deserves the palm for most
perfect preparatory arrangements for en-
tertainment of the convention. The dec
orations were beautiful in the extreme
and every wish seemed anticipated as to
convenience. Bountifu lunches were
served daily, in the basement Of the
church, to prevent the hurry ofreturniug
to the homes for midday meal.

.Antimi5raine
THE MEYER FAILING CURE FOR
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always
Speedy.
Cures Every Variety Of Headache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE

Has earned for itself the enviable reputa-
ton of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. 1t is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antipyrine, Morphine, C1alO-
raj and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. 1t is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. 1t is not Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi-
graine consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as a cure for any kind of head
ache-without respect to caust-leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after effects,
as i'll the case of other so-called "harm-
less remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever known.

PROF. BRIGGS TRIAL BEGUN.
He Objects to the Form of All the
CHARGES

ne oDJects to the Form OF All the
Charges.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The trial of the
Rev. Charles A. Briggs, on a charge of
heresy, began yesterday before the presby-
terry of New York in the Scotch Presbyter-
ian church on West Fourteenth street.
The Rev. John C. Bliss, pastor of the
Washington Heights church, was selected
as moderator, and only those members who
attended the ecclesiastical court two weeks
ago are permitted to serve as judges or
jurors. Professor Briggs conducted his
own defense, aided by Professor Brown, of
the Union Theological seminary, and the
Rev. II. NJ. Field. The memorial sermon
which the presbytery objects to was deliv-
cred by DR.. Briggs on Jan. 90, 1871, and
was the inaugural address at the Union
Theological seminary. The trouble which
followed resulted in the withdrawal of the
seminary from the general assembly.
Adjourned Without a Decision.
The institution supported DR.. Briggs,
and did not believe that his teachings were
contrary to the standard Presbyterian doc
trine. The business yesterday was Briggs
answer to the charges against him. He
made long argument on technical grounds
against the charges, although saying he
was willing to be tried on them all if prop
eriy presented. Two of them, he said, had
no business there, as he had disclAime
what they charge him with teaching DR..
j. j. Lampe replied to Briggs and when
the presbytery adjourned a resolution was
before 1T requiring thu prosecuting commit
tee to strike out charges and (which
