There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be i~ncurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scrlbed local remedies and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treat
ment pronouced it incurable. Science
has proven acatarrh to be a constitu-
tiona disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by r ]
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on tho market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the hood and mucous surfaces Of
the system.
We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward
Tor any a : of Deafness (caused by
Catarrh) thai cannot be permenently

Goldsboro is the home of char
ity. 1t has ever been ready to
lend a helping hand to the dis
tressed and needy. None who
come within her gates destitute
and suffering are turned away
without relief. 1t is the one COM
mon principle upon which all her
citizens are united, and it seems
that each one tries to outvie the
other in alternating suffering and
making glad the hearts of worthy
subjects of charity.

Elkin Times: Mr.. Calvin
Cobb, of Granite Fails, Caldwell
county, writes State Geologist
Holmes as follows: "On my plan
tation there is a piece of land
where fire is to be seen both day
and night time. The light appears
like fire, moves like it, yet the
vegetation is not burned. Plants,
etc. grow ON the spot as well as
they do anywhere else. There are
broom sedge and grass on the
place every year. The blaze is of
various sizes. Sometimes it is
much higher than others. | saw
it once cover a space of thirty feet
and more. The blaze rose fifteen
or eighteen feet, and then seemed
to die out at the lower part. Ten
or twelve times smaller fires have
been seen, four within the past
month. The stones near by are
white flint. A branch is near.
There are many flint stones.''
Greenville Weekly: The col

Now we believe such often de-

have lately had, go scott free and
then treat the cololed thus. Treat
all alike.

Our city is surrounded by char
liable institutions. Looking west
ward across the green farm fields
and over the placid stream and
shady banks of Little River can be
seen the tall spires of the Colo1ed
Insane Asylum. The wise
Democratic statesmen of a few
years past could not have selected
no more'fitting or appropriate site
for this charitable institution. They
recognized the charitableness of
Goldsboro and wanted to place
the institution where it would be
most appreciated. Hundreds of
unfortunate human beings whose
minds have lost their equilibrium
T here sheltered, clothed and fed.
To accommodate the many appli-
cants who seeks its benefaction it
has been necessary to enlarge the
already large building some two
or three times.

During the short time of its ex-

Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, March 23.-The combina-
tion slate which the New MEXICAN named
a week ago as having agreed upon by the
Republican bosses was put through the
territorial convention with whoop to-
day.
The delegation to Chicago was selected
as follows:
Pedro Perea, of Be-nalillo.
Sol. Luna, of Valencia.
w. H. H. Llewellyn, of Dona Ana.
J. H. Clark, of San Miguel.
A. L. Morrison, of Santa Fe.
Thos. ID. Burns, of Rio Arriba.
There we're ninety-three delegates in the
convention, Col. j.. Franco Chavez pre-
sided and A. l.. Chrlsty served as secre-
tary.
In caucus there were several animated
contests. The warning factions from
Grant county served to cement the out
side sentiment on Tom Burns. Some of
Frank Springer's friends didn't like the
way he was treated by the San Miguel
Republican convention and Mt one time
it looked as though Clark would be
shelyed and Springer put on as delegate
at large but this fell through when it be-
came known that Springer's first choice
for president was Allison. Clark is Reed
man but the other delegates are for Nc.

Nobody dared offer free coinage reso-
luton. Delegates to the convention
were instructed in advance to let the sill
yer question severely alone, and the
dictum of the bosses was obeyed to the
letter.
The convention applauded when Nor
rison, of Santa Fe, made speech.
There are good many sore spots
noticeable among the delegates. The
members of the convention from Grant,
Chaves, Lincoln, Socorro and Colfax
counties feel that the whole arrangement
was long since cut and dried by few
bosses and they ara not very hilarious
over the outcome, although some of the
more outspoken ''point with pride" to the
fact that the original Gatron seheme to
secure give Reed men, was effectually
side-tracked by strong sentiment in
favor of Mckinley.
