FREIGHT TROUBLES.
The Railroad Commission Should In
vestigate-A Practical Joker Pick
ing Rock-At Hymen's Altar.

Hickory, n. c., Dec 1S.-(SpeciaD-
The recent communication published in
the News and Observer relative to freight
troubles in Hickory seems to have awak-
ened the astonishment of the Railroad
Commission, one Of whose members in
an interview with a reporter of the Char
lotte Observer characterized the item as
absurd. or course it is surprising that
the great and good Southern should have
issued the order in question. Everybody
knows that it's meat and drink is to do
the will of the Railroad Commission.
Nevertheless the order was substan-
TALLY as given in the article to the News
and Observer The freight is placed in
cars and the cars are held until $4,000
pounds have accumulated. This in
formation was furnished by Mr.. e. L.
Shuford, wholesale shoe dealer of Hick-
DRY, and a gentleman of undoubted char
acter and Yeracity.
As he is large shipper of freight he is
able to speak as one having authority,
other reputable merchants will also certi-
fy to the accuracy of the statement.
1t would be well for the Commission
to investigate the facts, before coming
to the conclusion that he Southern Rail-
way has been misrepresented.
The spirit of Christmas is being mani
tested on our streets. Recently colored
youth, being in sportive mood, lighted
giant frecracker and thrust it down
the back OF another negro, between the
garments and the skin of the said second
negro. The latter gentleman hastily
Withdrew the cracker, which exploded
in his hand, sweeping away the bulks of
three fingers. The joker is now serving
the city on the rock-pile. This trifing
incident indicates the approach of that
season which is marked by peace on
earth, and good will TO men,"
On Tuesday Miss Lola Whitener and
Mr.. Rocco Latta. both of this city, were
married in the German Reform church.
They left for Raleigh by the evening
train, to visit the uncle of the groom.
On Wednesday Mr.. Carrier, of Hick-
DRY, was married to Miss Wesley, of
Pennsylvania. The bride met her fance
in Salisbury, where the ceremony was
performed by Rev. G. d. Coshmett.

CRIME ON THE INCREASE.
Wilmington Messenger,)

Crime is increasing. Look at twelve
murderers in one fine county either just
tried or awaiting trial. Look at the
great county of Mecklenburg. There are
nearly 400 cases to be tried before Judge
o. 2. Meares of the Criminal court. 1t
is the largest criminal docket the old
county has ever had. There are more
than 100 prisoners in the Jail and no
place for others. And yet Judge Rus
sell is reported as aiming to retire Judge
Meares who has done a great work for
the State, and to do away with his court
He ought to think long and look at his
bearings closely before he recommends
disastrous changes.

CooUETTING WITH SILVER.
Holton Wants to be District Attorney
Free SilyerAmendment to be Offered
to the Tariff Bill

10lton wants 10 De DlStflcI Attorney
Free SilyerAmendment to be Offered
to the Tariff Bill.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 17.-(Speeial.)
Major Guthrie OF Durham, was at the
Capital this morning.
Ex-Congressman Bower returned home
last night
Col A. b. Andrews, OF Raleigh, was at
the Capital to-day in consultation with
Senator Pritchard and Congressman
Pearson. Later in the day Senator
Pritchard had a conference in the Marble
Room of the Senate with Maj. III. t.
Grant and Hon. A, e. Holton. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Holton is a candidate
for United States District Attorney for
the Western district Of North Carolina.
The report is current tonight that
Senator Pritchard has again declared
himself for free silver, but it is not known
whether he stands by the statement Of
Senator Thurston, to the effect that he
would not vote for free silver amend
ment to tariff bill. 1t is well understood
here that such q course would be tan
tamount to opposing free silver entirely,
because in case the Republicans reorga-
nixe the Senate Finance committee, no
measure in the interest of silver would be
reported to the Senate, and a proposition
to amend the tariff bill could be the only
means of bringing about discussion and
vote on the silver question. The Populist
Senators agreed to-day that while they
would offer no obstacles TO the passage
OF tariff BILL they would bring on dis
cussion and vote on silver for campaign
purposes. That course would force Mr..
Pritchard's hand, and was no doubt
agreed upon with view to the Senatorial
situation in North Carolina and Ken
tucky, In which, according to Senator
Thurston, the Republican National com
mittee feels lively interest. Congress
man Shuford (Populist), said to-day that
free silver man, and none other, could
be elected to the Senate from North Caro-
lima. And since the Populists will de-
nounce the tariff and howl for silver,
this new programme of theirs seems to be
aimed specially at Senator Pritchard
and DIR. Hunter, the latter Of whom is
the leading Republican candidate for
Senator in Kentucky land is silver pro-
tectionist 1t shuts them both out.

ter with them, but attribute their i'll health
to some other cause. Some who do recog
nize the real trouble are induced to leopard
ize their lives by taking alleged medicines
prepared by inexperienced incompetents.
Some of these advertised preparations are
concocted by mere nurses, those possessing
no knowledge of the delicate organism of
women, the complicated and obstinate dis
eases peculiar to them, or the remedies
which may safely be prescribed for the re-
lief and cure thereof Now the nurse may
be very good and useful woman in her pro
per sphere, and yet be totally unqualified IN
prescribe remedies for the complicated and
obstinate diseases incident to women. Ne
woman suffering from these delicate all
ments should think of consulting a mere
nurse, however good she may be in her pro-
per field of usefulness but should go in
stead to an experienced, skilled specialist.
The services of such specialist are at the
command of every woman. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is discovery and In
vention Of a regularly graduated, expert
enced specialist in woman's peculiar mala-
dies, who may be consulted, free of charge,
either in person or by letter at the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
of which he is chief consulting physician
and surgeon The most wonderful prepare
ton of its kind that has ever been made is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t cures
where physicians fail, and it cures right at
home, with none of the distressing exam
nations aud local treatments SO uniformly
insisted upon by doctors.
Every woman ought to know about the great
remedy, above mentioned and she can find out
all about it in DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medi
cal Adviser work of over a 1000 pages, carefully
illustrated with over 500 plates. 1t contains sew
eral chapters on the reproductive physiology of
women, and hundreds of simple receipts for the
cure of many common ailments that come to ev-
cry family. 1t will be sent, paper-bound, a6Sol.-
keLy free, on receipt of one-cent stamps to pay
cost of mailing only Address the author as
above. If French cloth binding is desired, send
10 cents extra, 81 cents in all.
