TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION;
HE won, BUT LOST.

An Olympia scientist says he has been
made to realize the truth of the old adage,
ga bet is FOOLS argument" The gist of
the affair is somewhat on this wise:
He paid young lady five dollars, cash
down, for the privilege of strapping an
odometer to her chin, to measure the space
her lower jaw would traverse in the act of
talking during a period of twelve hours.
He then bet her two dollars against one
that her jaw would travel 100 miles during
the allotted time, while he was to receive
two dollars for every mile travelled over
that distance. Well the odometer was
firmly strapped in place and locked at 9
O'Clock in the morning, when the trial
commenced. Up to 3 o'clock pm the
little tell-taIe machine had registered 5000
miles, pretty good beginning for the first
half of the race
Somewhat chagrined at this wonderful
and unexpected outcome of events, the
lady engaged in sharp alteration with
her colleague for an hour or NOR e. alleging
that the recording instrument was a fraud
denouncing its markings, ETC., although
be repeatedly warned her by showing that
the little instrument attached to her chin
was faithfully performing its duty and
steadily scoring a full inch for every ar
ticulation that passed her pretty lips. This
friendly counsel only had the effect to in
cense her all the more and she vented her
spleen in Yolley after yolley of wordy vitu-
peration.
The gentleman left her to her own sweet
soliloquy for the rest Of the afternoon, and
when returned at the appointed time at
9o'clock in the evening to take the odome-
ter from her chin, he found the startling
registration Of more than $1,000 miles for
the distance her jaw had actually tray
eled during a period Of twelve calendar
hours
But this is not the end of the story. The
willy word spinner, although she admits
that the gentleman has honestly won the
bet, refuses to pay him a cent of the $40, COO
she owes him, on the ground that money
won on wager cannot be legally collected.
The scientist has got blood in his eye and
vows he will spend fortune to recover the
debt. So the curious case may drift into
courts, when there will be plenty Of fun
ahead.
The gentleman considers himself en-
tirely safe in any event, since he has been
offered large cash prizes by several scien-
tifc associations for the manuscript de-
tails Of the experiment

For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food for time at
least. I was so weak that I could
not work. Finally on the recon-
mendation of a friend who had used
your preparations
A worn-out with beneficial re-
suits, I procured
Stomach. bottle of Aug ust
Flower, and com
menced using it. It seemed to do
me good at once. I gained in
strength and flesh rapidly; my ap-
petite became good, and I suffered
no bad effects from what I ate. I
feel now like new man, and con-
slider that August Flower has en-
tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in it's

EXPANDING THEIR PLANT!
BY MEANS OF CAPITAL IN A NEW
PORT NEWS ENTERPRISE.
One Million Addition-The Water Sup

! One Million A~ddition-The Water Sup
ply-A Few Facts for Investors
to Think Over.
NEWPORT News, Jan. IA bill ha:
just passed the general assembly of Vir
ginia which is of some interest to not :
few people of your section. This bill in
c~reases the capital stock of the Newport
News Dry Dock and Ship Yard plant
from So, 900, 900 to So, 900. When il
is stated that this enterprise is not
prospective one, but an established one.
with immense buildings, a magnificent
equipment of machinery, a school house
for the children of its own employees, and
a line of industry supporting an army of
skilled mechanics, it will be realized that
the Durham men who recently bought a
hundred and seventy-eight lots here knew
what they were doing 1t will be realized
that their investment was not a specula-
ton in a paper town, but an investment
founded on common sense and hard pan.
But this is not the only big develop
ment that is going on at Newport News.
Work has commenced on the new water
supply, and in order to accommodate
their increasing tonnage two new piers
will be completed by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway company as early as pos
sible.
That this, to say nothing of the stimu-
iation of minor industries, and the retail
trade necessary to accommodate the peo-
pie, must increase the population at a
very rapid rate goes without saying; and
it follows logically that with the increase
of population must be an increased de-
mand for houses and a proportionate adj
vance in real estate values. | give these
points for what they are worth to men
who have money to invest.
Since writing the above l learn Senator
Weekham, who is counsel for the c.. & O.
r. r., that the increase in the capital
stock of the dry dock and ship building
plant is specifically to make improve
ments and enlarge facilities.
l also understand hat the Durham
syndicate have organized their holdings
into a company known as the North
Carolina and Newport News company,
and are now Offering their stock to the
public. On the basis they build this can
not but be splendid stock.

A DISASTER.
A Train of Theatrical People Wrecked i'm
Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIs, Jan. 15.-A special from
Brainard, Minnesota, says a fearful rail.
road accident occurred on the Northern
Pacific, seven miles east of Brainard at 4
o'clock this a. M. The second section of
No. 8, with the Andrews Opera company
on board, left West Superior at midnight
for Grand Forks. Near Jonesville the
train struck a broken rail and the engine
and baggage car passed over in safety.
The sleeper was derailed and ran some
300 feet on the ties, when it toppled over,
breaking loose from the train and went
down an embankment, lying on its side.
1t was soon on fire and two of the inmates
were killed or burned. They were Mrs.
Ed Andrews and Mrs. Lila, members of
the troupe. The charred bodies were
taken from the debris after the fire burned
itself out. By the aid of the train hands
all the other inmates were gotten out,
but most of them were badly burned and
otherwise injured.

JERRY SIMPSONS SCHEME

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Farmers' AL

Kansas, has been at work upon q new
measure looking toward the l~oaning of
government funds upon real estate Sc
curity, especially farm property. He
has the bill nearly completed and ex-
poets to introduce it very soon. 1t diff
fers from projects of the same general
kind by making the amount of the money
to be loaned equal in value to the
amount of real estate owned by the far
mer. He proposes hat the counties
shall issue their corporate bonds to the
federal government and receive the
money at two per cent upon the real
estate within the jurisdiction and make
payment directly to the government.

THE DURHAM GLOBE is making strong
and earnest efforts to raise a creditable
sum, by subscription, to defray the ex-
pense of an exhibit of the states resources
at the Worlds fair, which is to be held in
the city of Chicago. THE GLOBE heads
the list with $3.50, and urges all patriotic
people in the state to join in. While the
bank account Of the Times will not bear
a very large subscription, we desire to
say that our heart is right with you,
Brother Fairbrother. The state should
be well represented, and the one thing
needed to make a grand exhibit is a sufi-
cient amount of money.

The Messengers All Go Out on a
Big Strike.
According to Information Things Are
Blue North.
DURHAM WILL HAVE NOTHING IN 1T

Plenty of Men Ready to Take the Places
of the Old Men and Business Is Not
Suspended for a Long Period.
An enquiry into the subject OF the
strike of the Southern Express messen-
gers. warrants the conclusion that the
Southern Express company has a big
fight on its hands. The Atlanta Herald
saws THE strike is the outcome of a
blow struck at the Brotherhood by the
company.
"The question is simply, Shall the
Brotherhood live or be disbanded. The
company is endeavoring to kill it."
Sometime before Christmas the mes
scngers running on the Illinois Central
road sent a committee to wait upon SUI
perintendent Fisher and ask him for an
increase in pay fsOm SO TO $50 a month.
The superintendent at first agreed to
make the advance, but later retracted
this and discharged the men at the same
time declaring that the Brotherhood
must die. The strike was ordered for
this"
The view Of the origin of the trouble is
endorsed by the old messengers. In an
interview with one Of the Oldest Of the
striking messengers, and an intelligent
man, he said in substance that the Broth
erhood of Messengers had been organized
but abouts six months; that repeated efforts
had been made to organize such a society
before, but they had been crushed by the
interference of the Southern Express
company and that now the messengers
were determined to assert their manhood.
They did not complain of The hard work.
Every trades organization in the country
has promised to sustain us, including the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
who will help us if the worst comes to
the worst. Touching this claim of the
messenger, the Atlanta Herald says:
"a committee Of the strikers yesterday
morning, in Lynchburg, Va, had a long
conference with the grand master of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and asked him, if necessary for them to
win the fight, would the engineers sup
port the messengers.
"The conference was held behind
closely guarded doors in Messengers
streets, and after 1t was concluded the
men refused absolutely to say a word as
to the result, but one messenger was
overheard to say later on that the en-
gineers would refuse, at the request of
the strikers, to draw out trains carrying
the freights of the Southern Express
company.
This would mean a suspension of
traffic that would extend from New Or
leans to Chicago, New Orleans to Cairo,
New Orleans to Nashville, New Orleans
to Atlanta and Atlanta to Lynchburg.
"Over all this territory the Brother
hood men have already quit work"
THE GLOBE has seen the agents in this
city, of the Southern Express company,
and they eXclaim that hundreds of mes.
sengers, as it were, are going through
and coming that there has been no de-
lay and hat the strike is f~arcical.
In Durham there has been no inter
ference, and between Richmond and
Goldsboro, A. III. Thurman, r. G.
Springs and j. G. dickson quit yester-
day.
Their places have been filled and all
will be well.
