AN IMPORTANT SESSION.
Delivery of Opinion in the India
Timber Case.


District Attorney Glenn is home
from the Federal Court which closed
in Charlotte Friday evening. The
session was a very important one.
The submission and sentence of ex-
Cashier Holland would have made it
SO had there been nothing else. But
a great deal of business was disposed
OF, expeditiously and we'll.
The Observer says: "a year or
more ago we quoted Republican as
remarking upon the extraordinary
strength of two gentlemen who repre-
sent the government in this court
District Attorney Glenn and Assistant
District Attorney Covington. They
are flames of fire. The power of Mr..
Covington is well known in this sec
ton; that OF Mr.. Glenn was never
better eXemplified than in his appeal
for justice in the Holland case. In
all his connection with this case
he has done his full duty as an officer
never in fuller measure than at the
end.
another matter which signalizes
this term of court was the delivery of
opinion in the Indian timber case
which arose in Swain county and to
which reference has been made in the
news columns of this paper. The
Cherokee Indian council had sold for
$25, 900 the timber privileges on a
large body Of land. District Attorney
Glenn denied the right of the council
to do this, holding that the Indians
are wards of the nation and as such
cannot make contracts. The case was
argued in the Circuit Court at AShe-
vile recently before Judges Sine ntOn
and Dick, who reserved their opinion.
1t was handed down here last week
and sustained the contention of the
district attorney. Both judges filed
written opinions. The case is an inter
esting one and the principle establish

went to the door and called for assist
ance but could make no one hear.
Mrs. Proctor lay all night in perfect
agony without physician, and so
continued until death relieved her. Mr..

Keeping Blind Children at Home

A singular fact in connection with
the education and care OF the blind
children Of the State, is that but few
of them will take advantage of the
care offered them and provided for
directors of the Institute for the
Blind met in Raleigh last week. 1t
developed that the census shows a
total of 573 blind children in the State
of school age; of this number only I43,
white and colored, are at school: this
does not include deaf. They decided
to have the principals of white and
cOlored schools visit every county in
the State during the vacation to try
to pursuade these unfortunateS who
are growing up in ignorance to attend
the school which is maintained by the

CREATES SOME SURPRISE.
Sir Edward Grey's statement in
Parliament yesterday that Ambassa-
dor Bayard had been informed that
Great Britain would consent to arbi-
tration on the Venezuela question,
under certain conditions, creates some
surprise among the officials here, as
Sir Edwards statement is calculated
to show that Great Britain has &C
copied the suggestion OF the United
States, whereas it has been declined.
Venezuela desires to arbitrate the en-
tira boundary question. The request
OF Mr.. Bayard was in this direction.

Among all the structures that
make up the human body, the nerves
have been until recently the least
understood.
The role of the nerves in the diges~
ton and assimilation of food Is a
highly important one. The guess
ton whether the food shall nourish
or become mere load upon the sys,
tenn is a question of nerve force.
Neglect to satisfy the demands
made by the nervous system carries
heavy penalties. When this ner-
vous force is exhausted the digestive
processes are obstructed, the body is
weakened and pains of neuralgia,
indigestion, rheumatism, invade its
parts. During repose the nerves
and great neave centres feed upon
the nutritive material that is stored
in the blood and tissues. 1t is when
this supply of nourishmenti is prompt
and abundant that the nervous sys-
tenn is able to recuperate, but when
the system has become too tired to
appropriate sufficient nourishment
and the nerves too shaky to get the
rest they need, that the best of all
blood purifiers, nerve foods, and
nerve regulators, Paine's celery
compound, should be given at once.
Paine's celery compound has
brought health, strength, aud free
dom from nervous weakness to
thousands of tired women, "run
down" men, and sickly children.
1t makes them able to sleep soundly,
to digest their food perfectly, and to
win back health and strength. The
tired brain and nerves are rebuilt
and their wasted parts repaired
during sleep, and where neryous>
ness, irritability, and inadequate
nutrition of the nerve centres do not

Mr. Charley Lewis died at Wilkes
boro Monday. Greensboro was the
home of the deceased. He went to
Wilkes over a year ago, with the hope
of an improvement in this health.
He attended the last annual meeting
of the State Firemen's Association

formerly a member of the Greensboro
fire department and it is thought his
lung trouble was contracted during
fire in that city some two years ago.
His remains were sent to Green's

No Lawyers and Doctors.

Register of Deeds Miller sent out
postal cards last week to the various
tax listers in the county asking them
to give the names and addresses of
the lawyers and doctors in the several
townships. The first reply to his
cards reads as follows:
"MR. MILLER:-I am happy to in
form you that we are certainly blessed
in this township. There is not a
single darn doctor or lawyer in it.
This statement is endorsed by good
witness"
Another reply stated that there was
only one lawyer in that township, but
that when case was tried before a
magistrate stranger would think
there were no less than 500 attorneys
on the spot.

Couldn't Force Them.

A sensation developed in the supe-
rior court at Wilson, recently. Two
prominent citiZens-d young attorney
and ieweler-were indicted by the
grand jury for gambling. Five other
young men of good family and stand
ing were summoned to testify. They
refused to do so on the ground that
their testimony would criminate
themselves. The grand jury present.
ed them for refusing to testify. The
judge, however, decided that he had
no authority to force them to give
testimony.

Palne's celery compound guards
against all this by promptly feeding
ing the exhausted nerves and MAX
ing the blood pure, abundant, and
nourishing. 1t cures neuralgia,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, all forms
of nervous weakness, dependency,
skin diseases, and affections of the
heart, liver, and kidneys. 1t sends
pure, yitaliZed blood to every organ,
and thus makes people we'll. Paine's
celery compound has found its way
originally through prescriptions by
physicians, into every city and

1t would be very difficult to find
man or woman of mature age who
has not either been helped by this
remat kable remedy or has heard of
its marvellous properties at frst>hand
from some enthusiastic friend or
relative.
Paine's celery compound is the
only great popular remedy that ply

disorders of the blood and nerves.

The Raleigh correspondent Of the
Charlotte Observer says: "Mr. Guy
Barnes, of the firm of Barnes Bros,
tells me that the cause of the delay in
the issue of the acts of 1895 by Stew

latter did not obtain the copy of the

We regret to have to chronicle that
the very clever hardware firm of Over

deed Of assignment last Monday,
naming w. A. Blair as assignee. The
assets of the firm are double the liza

they have two dollars worth of prop

made for the purpose OF closing up
the business, which, we are sorry to
learn, they found Improbable. These
gentlemen have made many friends in

among us who will heartily join us in
the wish that they may find it to
their interest to remain here and that
whatever course their judgment may
determine them to pursue will bring
them large measure of prosperity.
