Safety in uhe Midst of Danger.

Safety in she Midst of Danger.
 This would seem a contradiction IS so, in fact, to the eye But exper- fence has proved it's possibility. Take the case of the individual who dwells in malarious region. A robust con- stitu.ion is no certain defense against the dreaded chills. What is? Re- corded testimony, covering period little short of half century, proves that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely this. This continent does not unit the field where the medicine has proved its efficacy, In South America, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico, everywhere, in fact. where miasma born disease takes on its most obstinate and formidable types, the Bitters is a recognized specific in il- limitable demand, and prescribed by physicians of repute. Potent, too, is it in disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, and against that destroyer, Ia grippe. It improves appetite and sleep, peutralizes rheumatism and kidney complaints. :

FAyORS HILL.

Los ANGELEs-Carter Harrison, ed- itor and proprietor of the Chicago Times, was interviewed here today up- on the political outlook. He said in part: Senator Hill of New York I consider one of the most vilified men in this country, yet you cannot point 10 single act on his part that has not been upright and honorable, The men who supported Cleveland in 1884 are now with Hill. The Mugwump friends of Mir. Cleveland claim that Hill knifed him in the last campaign This is the most insensate folly; no politi, al leader can knife an oppo- nent without exposing the knife-blade, and no proof has been advanced that Hill stabbed Cleveland. He stabbed himseli by the enemies he made in his own party.

SILVER TALK

WAsHINGToS-There is reason to believe that the house may yet find itself in position of embarrassment on the silver question. One of the strongest advocates of the silver bill said today that the silver men had about decided on a course they would pursue. That course is one of ob- struction to all legislation (except tariff measures) until silver was given the right Of way. He did not criti- else MT. Crisp in his action, but he said when the house adjourned on the famous silver bill Thursday, it ad- journed under misapprehension. There were eighty men who would unite in preventing any legislation in the house. When asked whether ob- struction would be made to the appro. priation bill be said: "Bless the ap- propriation bills, nothing but tariff until we secure a fair consideration of the silver measure.

CHEAP WATER,


 bids fair to be settled in the near fu- ture through the enterprise of E. B. Mason, of this place, who has located one of the finest reservoir sites in the country and is now corresponding with eastern capitalists with a view of building dam at once. About four or five miles from Bisbee and two miles from the Sulphur Spring valley Dixie canyon narrows to a gorge not more than twenty-five feet wide with perpendicular rock sides forty or fifty feet in height. Here at compara- lively slight expense dam can be erected that will impound at least 2,O0O, 100000 gallons of water. By piping it two miles it can be led for miles over the valley in open ditohes. It is in the development of this and similar enterprises that the road to wealth and prosperity for the entire southwest lies.

TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.
Clean Streets and Good Lights.

The wisdom of our Commissioners
has been especially shown by their
efforts to clean our town. Certainly no
one who ever looked around here could
fail to notice the absence of care along
that line. Sach an effort has been need
ed, and we see that we are going to
realize it. The authorities have been
busy for the past few days cleaning up
the streets, back yards and allies. We
once ore have clear light through clean
street lamps. Our fire engines too were
brought cut, and hoops falling oft were
put Cd, and what should be fire en-
CINE was at least made so it would ho.d
water. The Commissioners tell US that
this policy Of cleaning tie town shall be
rigidly carried on.
To protect themselves and the public
in general they have wisely passed the
following ordinance:
''That any person who shall place any
trash, litter, Stops, or other things OF
like kind, from any store, yard, Office,
or residence upon any street, back yard
or ally within the corporate limits of the
town of Clinton shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall be fined
$1,000. But the Mayor shall have pow
er to emit all or any part of the same
Any violations of this ordinance shall be
deemed nuisance"
Such a policy diligently carried out
will prove genuine blessing to eur peo
pie now and especially this summer

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Interesting Facts and Figures by the
County Superintendent,

For the information of the public /
present the following statistics, taken
from the reports of 1891, and from the
work of 1892, because some reports have
not been received:
There are five thousand eight hundred
and twenty-four white children in Samp-
son county between the ages of six and
twenty-one years, and four thousand and
forty.eigbt colored. The number OF
school districts is lightweight white and
fifty four eolored, making an average Of
sixty six and two-elevenths for white
districts and nearly seventy five for col
ored. 10 these districts there are seven
ty-three public school houses for whites,
valued at (inclnding the land) IS, 1928,
and forty. five colored valued at So. OOS.
Teachers examined since July LIST, '91:
Whites, males, first grade, %; second
grade, 81; third grade, 2. White, fe-
males, first grade, II; second. 16; third,
2 Colored. males, first grade, 6, second
grade, 16; third grade, 2. Colcred fe-
males, second grade, 6; third grade, IL.
Total exam ned whites, 81; colored Al;
total, 1872. First grade 46, second, SO,
third. II, Total, 1872. Average salary
of teachers July '91, white males, 500.
Females, $22 &c; colored males, $22. SO.
| Females $16 %. Length of school terms
1O4 weeks. The average apportionment
| made January 90 is about 803 cents per
capita, and small sum applied to ne
cessarily weak districts.
Since December LIST, 1891, there have
been fifty eight schools taught for whites
and forty for colored. The number en-
rolled. the average attendance and other
statistics will be given when all the re-
ports are received. the teaching for the
last year, with few exceptions, has been
very good, and the progress OF the child
rem has been excellent, the teachers hay
ing taken more interest in their work aud
many of the patrons having manifested
more care in the training of'their child
rep, aud having given the teachers the
meet ssary encouragement. The lenatt
of school terms has been increased by
an increase in school taxes, and in many
districts there has been another increase
by private subscriptions. Ii this were
done in every district there would be nc
difficulty in haviog at least four months
school in each district and in some long
er terms. This plan will make the pnb
lie schools a complete success and it vii
be done in few years, for there is {
, general improvement all along the lines
We .eeeive all that We ought from prop
erty and poll tax; more would crippi'
the other interests of the county.
If we had longer terms our teachers
could we'll afford to prepare themselvs
better, and nearly every district won.s
be demanding first grade teachers. a
many are now doing.
| Taking all things iGto considerable
our public schools are doing well, an
there is no re: son why Sampson count.
with ell her high schoois, academies az
public schools, and her earnest, har,l
working, teachers should not be the kan

RACKET STORE.

Some people cannot understand
how it is the Racket Store has such
large trade, il is because we buy
cheap and sell cheap, we don't be-
lieve in charging two or three prices
for goods but one fair square price
ID everybody. We sell for the net
spot cash, no time nor discount.
The credit business hal ruined scores
Of men and women, and caused
them to sink to the very lowest
depths Of despair.
We sell for the net spot cash and
by doing so we run no risk of loos-
ing anything, and we sell so cheap
that it is money in your pocket to
buy from us. We are receiving new
goods every week, and they are sell
ing as fast as we can open and put
them up. We are not afraid to adj
vertise our goods, for they are just
what we recommend them. We
have the cheapest let of millinery
in town, and we are selling from
fifteen to forty ladies hats nearly
every day. Our ladies slippers and
parasols cannot be beaten in price
and quality. Our dress goods and
lotions are sure to please, for they
are 50 cheap it is almost like giving
them away. If you have not called
on us just come once and you will
be sure to come again if you are
anxious to save some money.
