ANTHRACITE COAL VEIN.
An Inexhaustlble Supply Unearthed in
North Carolina.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Jan. 3.-WhilS
la5orers were at work recently cutting
ont new road near Hot Springs,
Madison county, indications OF coal
were found on the land OF Thomas Gar
rett. Mr.. Garrett at once sent for an
expert, who has pronounced the de.
posit anthracite coal OF good quality
andin apparently inexhaustible quan.
tity. Workmen have iunnelled into
the mountain about forty feet in ex.
posing the deposits, and as yet there
are no indications OF the deposit Civ.
ing out This deposit is about thirty
miles from AsheviIle and within half
mile OF the railroad. If it proves that
there is large quantity of the coal
there it means much for this section,
as just across the river from this de.
posit OF coal, orly a short distance
away, there is great quantity of lime
rock, and these mountains in every
direction contain plenty of iron ore,
the finest deposit being the celebrated
Cranberry ore.

Hicks, Grta Works.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the celebrated
storm prophet, Of st. Louis, is now a
household name in nearly every
home in America. His wonderful al
manac predicts the weather for year
ahead more correctly and accurately
than any other publication or any
other system. The testimony OF a large
number of careful Observers is that SO
per cent. of Hicks predictions are full
filled to the letter. His series of an
nuai almanacs are now we'll and favor
ably known in all parts of this couu-
try and in foreign lands. The new al
manac for 1896 is the most practical
and instructive as we'll as the prettiest
of this splendid series. 1t contains 100
pages, printed on fine book paper, with
covers elegantly printed in colors. The
matter, although scientific, is written
in popular style, there being nothing
difficult to understand about it. It'is
also finely illustrated. Don't confound
tnis with some patent medicine

A Tarheel Senator.

Commercial Appeal, is not an admir-
er of Senator Butler,on theNorthOaro.
lima senatorial accident:
Marion Butler, of North Carolina,
turned loose in the senate yesterday.
We venture the assertion that no man
who ever sat in that body has 80 firm
q grip on fame as Marion Butler. But
Ter reminds us of Daniel Webster. He
is 80 different. We seriously doubt
whether there is any living thing
from man to bacillus, that has as
little sense as Marion Butler, OF North
Carolina. This is why he will be 80
famous. PETER, of Kansas, got mighty
short weight when he laid in his brain
supply, but PETER is to Marion as Jove
is to worm. Yet this thing can
open its mouth and talk for hours on
stretch, and at distance of hun
dred yards looks almost human. The
way North Carolina happened to send
this freak OF nature to the senate was
this: A motion was pending to send
him to dime museum some body in
spirit of fun moyed to strike out
"dime museum" and insert "United
States senate" and the legislature be-
ing drunk and porulite to boot, adopt
ed the amendment, tabled a motion to
reconsider and let it 90 at that. Butler
will do much to promote the gayety
of nations while he is there. He is o
fountain Of folly that is meyer at rest
and never goes dry. He is a spouting
geyser of hot mud that will attract Wis.

mer with them hen. .pecked husbands,
undertakers, Englisbmen and all kinds
of solemn and sunless natures have
been known to look on Marion Butler
and laugh joyously. North Carolina
has been noted for its humor, but the
broadest joke it ever sprung on the
convulsed and hilarious earth is its

WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
How IL ReYOlyed to Mr.. Arthur's
Career.
"What a fall was there. "

"What fall was there"
There is story quietly ahoat in the
circles OF the upper ten that Alexan-
der A. Arthur has written to one of
their number asking financial assist
ance to the extent of 500 to tide him
over to expectant prosperous times
and relieve him from temporary en-
barrassment.
Those who knew Mr.. Arthur in his
palmy days will no doubt be surprised
to hear this. Arthur's career Tor the
past ten years has been splendidly
brilliant one in the business world
He has induced the investment of
millions of dollars in Kentucky and
Tennessee and has personally directed
the investment.
In 1886 he located at Newport, Tenn,
as manager of the Scottish Carolina
Land and Timber company.
An immense boom was built atNew-
port and the company built magnii-
cent mills acrose the river from Knox
vile. At Newport Mr. Arthur built
fine residence costing $4,000.
He it was who organized the Amer
ican association limited aud Mid
dlesborough, KY, the Magic City, in
which fortunes were made and plant
ed.
Through Arthur's instrumentality
the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and
Louisville railroad was constructed.
1t was due to his efforts that the
-Four Seasons hotel, on the Knoxville
Cumberland Gap and Louisville roac
was built costing, together with fine
sanitarium and other adjuncts, the
princely sum OF $1,SOO,0OO.
Near Four Seasons Mr.. Arthur
built Il mansion for himself costin(
$4,000, which is the equal of any resi-
dence in the south.
During his residence in Knoxvill,
Mr.. Arthur owned the Rose residence
corner Hill and High streets, which
with the grounds occupies a who'll
block.
That such man should have sucl
fall-to call upon friends for assist
auce TO secure the necessities OF life
is truly pitiable spectacle. But Al
thur is not man to be kept down
He will come again and dazzle hi
friends with successful career

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had Severe Kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back and also that his bladder was af-
fected He tried many so called Kidney
cures but without any good result.
About year ago he began the use Of
Electric Bltters and found relief at once.
Electric Bitters is especially adapted to
cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles

THE NEV-Y0RK TINES

THE TIMES is q newspaper for intelligent men
and women who want to read all the news of the
world every day. The paper has distinguishing
merits of it's own 1t is neither sensational nor
dull 1t is not sour-tempered. 1t is not frivo-
lous and visionary 1t sees plenty of good in
the world and tells about it. 1t tells of the bad
when it must, but not unwholesomely. 1t prints
with fulness the record of human endeavor in
many fields outside of business, politics and
war-in literature, religion. science arts,sports,
and household matters. No paper in the coun-
try prints so many book reviews and so much
book news. No paper has so completea imam
cial page-a daily manual for investors and offi-
GERS OF financial institutions. It's market re-
ports--wool, cotton, breadstufs, farm products,
&c.--are the best in the country.
The Democracy of THE TIMES is of the old
fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson;
majority rule no bosssm, no machine tyranny,
the divorce of politics from private money
making, a sound currency. industrial emancipa-
tion, and everyday honesty. To promote the
advance OF the Democratic Party along these
lines it labors with heart and conscience and
all its might.

What 1t Is, and Where 1t Comes
From.

Sick poison is what makes YOU sick. irri-
tates your nerves, disorders your functions.
saps your strength, makes you miserable.
Different diseases have different poisons.
some have several, indigestion m ore than
any.
That is, the symptoms of indigestion are
caused by the poisons which are created by
undigested food.
When you are sick, try to get rid of your
poison.
1t is often easier than you think, for all
nature is helping you. Only the poison is
obstinate, but the first step is to go to the
root of it.
The poisons of undigested food which cause
lethargy, headache, dizziness, weakness,
bad taste, stomach ache, fever, f1atulence,
nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, jaun-
dice, anaemia, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc.,
these po1sons can be swept away and ami
hilated by the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Curing the stomach and helping it to digest
food, when it is too weak to do so by itself,
will purify your system of poison and renew
your stength and health
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a pure, vege-
table, digestive tonic, made by the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon, will cure all disorders
caused by the poisons of undigested food
when nothing else will give any relief.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents for a trial
bottle.
