CATARRH, NOT LOCAL, But COSsTITU-
DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in a magazine article says
"A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarrh. 1t is
not disease OF the mans nose it is a
disease of the man, showing itself in
the nose-a lacal exhibition Of a Con
stitutional trouble" Therefore, he
argues, the use of snuff and other local
applications is wrong, and while they
seem to give temporary relief, they re-
ally do more harm than good. Other
leading authorities agree with DIR. Lew
is. Hence, the only proper method OF
cure for catarrh is by taking a constitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which reaching every part Of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all
impurities and makes the whole man
healthier. 1t removes the cause OF the
trouble and restores the diseased mem
brane to proper condition. That this
is the practical result is proven by
thousands OF people who have been GU
red of catarrh by taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.

SEVEN HOURS SUSPENSE.
The Lost Boy Found.

Master Archie Mcdowell, the 49,
/ year ole son Of DR.. W. .. Mcdowell.
having suffered much recently from
! disease, has grown more or les> peeyish
and last Saturday afternoon. while In a
| fit Of anger. made good his threat that
be was going to run away. He became
displeased with some of the other child
REQ and being somewhat reproved
asked permission to 60 on the back
yard. The permission was grarted By
| his mother and after he had been out
as long as she thought he ought 10 stav
his mother looked for him on the back
lot, and after continuing her futile
search for some time she became alarm
ed and made known his absence to 9TH
er members of the family Every nook
and corner on the premises having
been searched in vain, at 5 80 O'Clock
the matter was made known to the
neighbors. Soon large number OF
i
was thought that perhaps he had been
attracted by the music Of brass band
that was playing in town. 1t was now
dark and company with lanterns In
stituted thorough search The fields
west of the town were searched. Some
one reported that he had been seen to
pass out of the east side of town lust
before night. The woods and fields
east Of the town were thoroughly search
ed. Persons went on horses several
miles from the town on different roads.
About II o'clock it was learned that
some one had seen him cross the road
near Mrs. Madry's, mile and half
west of the town. A crowd went in
that direction breastng the fields and
actually tracking him as he circled to-
wards the railroad. About the time
the crowd went in the direction in
which the boy was seen to pass out
Of town colored man met him on the
railroad about one and half miles
from town coming from towards Wei
don. Dr. Livermon and Mr.. H. E.
Biggs who were making a circle around
the town on buggy just at that time
drove up to the store of C. c. Baker,
colored man living at the tank mile
from town, and found the boy with the
colored man who met him on the rail
road. They fastened to bring the
straying boy to his suffering parents,
and delivered him to them in safety,
though cold and much fatigued He
had been walking ever since 3 80
o'clock in the afternoon. The church
bells were rung to call in those who
were still searching IN the woods, but
they did not hear the call and it was
late before they all heard that the boy
was found, it being O'Clock Sunday
morning when the last ones got home.
1t is believed that the boy was inhu-
enced by reading story book which
related some such incident in the life
of another boy. Archie says that he
is sorry he went away and gave so many
people so much trouble.

The Colored People Jubilate.

After the election the colored people
were jubilant for several nights with
drum and tin-pan and other utensils
of noise Last Saturday the colored
brass band came up from Greenyille
and they had an all-day jubilee. But
withal they were orderly and gave nc
one any offense In the afternoon
they formed a procession about thou
sand strong and went up to Capt. w
H. Kitchin's, about mile from town
and gave him a lusty serenade.

That Tired Feeling

Is dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. 1t should
dot be allowed to continpe, as in its de-

serious attacks of illness. Hoods Sar-

dition, and also for that weakness
whic prevails at the change of season
climate or life.

THE CHARGE.

LII lIlo OpCullS SCutCIiICS III ouC
charge to the grand jury, Judge Arm
field said that the reason that England
and America are the best governed ma
tons on The globe is because of the fact
that these countries have adhered tC
the jury system.
The jury system was defended
against the attacks made by those who
oppose it.
He said that one of the excellencies
OF the jury system is the fact that ju-
ries are composed of men who neither
know nor care anything about the mys
teries of the law He said that if only
able lawyers were put on juries few
verdicts would be reached in the courts
because the jurors would all the while
be discussing the various questions o.
law instead of passing upon the ques
ton whether the accused is guilty OF
innocent. He said that he believed he
has never heard a verdict, in all the
thousands he has heard, that was cor
rupt or that had been bought with
money Under our present jury sys-
tenn he said that our liberties are abso
lutely safe.
DUTIES OF JURORS.
Referring to the jurors oath that
they are to favor neither the poor MOI
the rich. he said that the same law was
given from Sinai more than 5000
years ago.
The charge covered the whole crimi-
nal law.
He paid high tribute to North
Carolina in saying that it was the first
State in the Union to pass an act max
ing it an indictable offense to imDugn
the character of virtuous woman.
North Carolina, he said, was ahead OF
England in this. The home of the
citizen is regarded with more sanctity
IN North Carolina than in any other
part OF the world. The charge was
long and able and the very closest at
tention was paid by the spectators.
The criminal docket was short, there
being only 80 cases, Of these several
were for larceny, several for carrying
concealed weapons and some for as
sa,,lt and battery. One case was for
disturbing religious assembly A
number of the cases we're matters OF
cost coming over from previous courts.
