Do Not sleep on the Left side.

There is little doubt that an i'm
mense number of persons habitually
sleep on the left side, and those who
do SO can never, it is said, be strictly
healthy. It is the most prolific cause
of nightmare and also of the unpleas-
ant taste in the mouth on arising in
the morning. All food enters and
leaves the stomach on the right side,
aud hence sleeping on the left side
soon after eating involves sort of
pumping operation which is anything
but conducive to sound respose. The
action of the heart is also seriously in
terfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cul-
tivaLe the habit of always sleeping on
the right side, although Sandow and
other strong men are said TO invaria-
bly, sleep on their backs:-

BALTIMORE, Jan. The explosion
of an oil tank in a warehouse Of the
Standard Oil Company at Canton last
night caused loss by fire of $500, 900.
The flames spread so rapidly that
fourteen horses that were tied in their
stalls in a stable near by were burned
before they could be released. The
burning oil ran in streams down the
cutters, communicating the fire to
the adjoining property, and in few
minutes whole block of buildings
was in flames. The fertilizer works
of Griffith & Boyd, together with
their Office building and stables, in
Guiding fourteen horses, were totally
destroyed.

Edgar Lineback, member-elect of
the mixed Legislature went to the
freight depot yesterday morning and
called for d ticket He was directed
to the passenger depot. He replied
that he did not know there was such
a thing IN Winston-thought the old
freight depot was the only place to
buy tickets. He added that if it
suited the railroad folks he would buy
a ticket TO go on the freight as he sup
posed the rates would come little
cheaper. Being refused ticket at
the freight office, Edgar pulled out
for the passenger depot where he pro-
ceeded to air himself in tones loud
and lonesome. He told the crowd

CHAIRM'N HOLTON'S TALK
SAYS THE PoPULIsTs WANT
EVERYTHING.
Has Great Contempt for Ewart-How
Editor Goshen Sneezes When Hot
ton Takes Snuff-Two Rings.


Chairman A. E Holton, who was
in Winston few days ago, is quoted
by Republican as saying that he has
had great contempt for Ewart ever
since his attempt to show that the
elections in North Carolina under
Democratic control, were fair and de-
void of fraud, etc. Evidently Mr..
Ewart is in the way of the little man
from Yadkin who wants to be Senator.
Mr.. Holton is also quoted as saying
that the Populists want to absorb
everything; their cry is like the horse
leach for more and more. What does
this mean? Is the chairman too
against Butler
Editor Goshen, who sneezeS when
ever Holton takes snuff, is charged
with saying that he will not submit
, to the Populists having all the good
things. GOslen must be returning to
his first love or rather his hate for
the Populist party, says Republican,
who knows MIN. 1t is well-known
that he opposed cooperation in every
conceivable way, until Holton told
him he was acting fool; that Coop
Grafton was a strong cord and would
win: that this was the time to go in
and then claim the credit of having
won the victory. Goslen could not re-
sist this argument, as he is always on
the buttered side of the bread.
This Republican also says that the
public may soon expect to see the
editor of the Republican defend
ing trusts and combines as he hears
that MIR. Duke, of Durham, has taken
two thousand worth Of stock in the
publishing company which he is try ing
to organize.
The latest is that the Winston aud
Greensboro rings, with the assistance
of HoltoD and Tom Settle, who say IS
he can vote all the members of the
Legislature from his district, is to
have the Legislature TO seat the Re-
publicans VINO are contesting. This
done the Republicans will have ma
jority over the Populists. They will
then be in a condition to go into a
joint caucus and make their demands
and nominate two straight-out Re-
publicans. Boss Butler will then have
to beg for terms.

Irl Hicks, the weather prophet Of
national fame, predicts that the
toughest and most trying part Of the
present winter will fall in February
and March. He says:
Let all concerned make a note of
this. We believe that April and May
will usher in an early season, and that
the conditions will be good for pursu-
ing agricultural pursuits. Heavy hall
storms and marked tendency to local
cloudbursts will characterize the pre-
cipitations of these months June
will prove the most stormy month Of
the summer, and the heaviest rains
Of the season will occur in that
month. Rains may not be distribut-
ed as is greatly desired, but all Sec
tions will be visited by seasonable
fails, while enormous dOwnpCurs,
amounting to local foods, will occur
in many places. The remaining
