A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. These indl-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness IN
throat and stoppage OF the nasal passages and
in fact ere incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief.

ON THE COTTON MARKET.

The receipts on the Raleigh cotton
market for the week ending Thur sday
night were 4S2 bales. For the same
week last year the receipts were 4g9
bales This shows nearer equal re-
ceipts than any previous week OF the
market year
The total receipts 10 date are l6.296
bales this year, against about $4,000
last year The price this year has
averaged about IA cents, while last
year the average was less than cents.
1t is estimated, on the basis of the
receipts here and the reports of the
farmers from the county, that in Wake
and the surrounding counties the cot
ton crop the past year was little more
than half what it was the year before.
And yet the increased price has
brought to the section nearly as much
money as the larger crop OF the year
before
The Memphis Chamber OF Commerce
and the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
have issued circulars to the farmers.
urging them to reduce the acreage of
the cotton crop the coming year.

THEY WENT TO LAW.

W. NJ. Wellons attempted to put
the law" to Riley Thomas yesterday.
Thomas was arraigned before Justice
Roberts for stealing the exact sum OF
$3.50 out of the pockets of the afore-
said Wellons.
The evidence showed that they We're
both drunk, and had been partners in Il
painting-the-town-red expedition.
Both had a hay recollection of what
happened
In the court all the ground was gone
over, the hack fare, the bar rooms,
and lunch counters all coming in for
explanation.
There were Il number Of witnesses
for each side, and neither side had "a
lawyer.
Wellons did some expert calculating
to show how he knew the sum taken
from him was S22.50; but there was no
evidence showing that Thomas had
taken the money, and there was no
evidence, except Wellons' affirmation.
that Wellons ever had twenty-five dol
lars in his purse.
THE evidence is not sufficient for
me to bind him over" said Mr.. Roberts
When he told Thomas to go, Thomas
was the happiest man in town.
Wellons was taxed with the costs,
something over IS.

Prominent Gentleman Is Glad There
Was a Change Since Those Gentle
men Were Promoted.

1T is Il great relief to me" said a
gentleman of long railroad experience
in his younger days, that the Sea-
board Airline did not import a west
ern man here TO take the position
formerly held by Mr.. John II. Wintler
His successor is virtually Il North
Caro!inian. although / think he was
born in South Carolina. He has MANY
relatives in Lincolnton and other
places, is deeply interested in the
prosperity of the State and section.and
is railroad man of large experience.
He will do his work well. and as the
change is made | am glad that Melee
succeeds Winder. 1T is one first-class
gentleman to the manner born sue
ceeding another gentleman of the
same calibre."
II was also glad to note that Capt.
Berkeley goes 10 the Seaboard to sue
ceed Capt. McBee. His retirement
from the Southern was a source of re-
gret to his host of friends in Piedmont
North Carolina and they rejoice that
he is to be associated with another
great system of North Carolina roads"

II consider that question an insult
to Mr.. Wood and entitled to silent con
tempt.
''Attributing the authorship of this
letter to various persons other than
Mr.. Wood, is, in my opinion, a poor way
of avoiding what he says. The public,
| take it, do not care who wrote the
letter. The only question is: Are the
contents of the letter-the charges and
limitations therein--true or false ?"
Are you related to Mr.. Wood?"
Il am not; nor are his family and
my family in any way whatever, by
blood or marriage related"

His death causes genuine sorrow to
