GET WELL AND STAY WELL
GET RID OF WHAT MAKES YOU
SICK AND STAY RID OF 1T.

1t is so simple to be well that we won
der why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent
it, and when they were sick in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we
don't take more care Of our health, we
shall always be more or less sick
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half of our disease and troubles come
from the poisons OF undigested food.
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when
we think we are sick, we are only weak,
and a course of nourishing food digested
without effort by the stomach with the
aid of Shaker Digestive Cordial, would
re-invigorate the system and make as
well.
A ten cent trial bottle win prove it.

NEARLY NINETY MILES AN HOUR

The Seaboard Airline has issued a
little leatlet giving the details Of the
remarkable record OF speed made by
Engineer Heilig with the Directors train

statement says:
Total distance from Weldon to Ports
mouth shops, Va, 76.S miles. Time con.
samed, TN minutes, which is subject
r. deduction of about five minutes lost
by reducing speed to comply with city
ordinances at Seaboard, N. c., Franklin,
Va, and Suffolk, Va, and in crossing
Nottoway river, at which point a new
bridge is under construction, which would
leave actual running time 671a minutes.

OFFICES GOING A-BEGGING.

A remarkable state of affairs exists in
the revenue service here at this time
there are more ffices than there are apph-
cants.All those-except three, two clerks
and one store-keeper and gauger-who are
eligible to office under the civil service,
have received appointments. And there
are at least a dozen vacancies now for
store-keepers and gaugers and two or
three for deputy collectors. A store
keeper and gauger's place pays 81 per
day, while employed, and a deputy col
lector gets from 81 200 to 1000 a year
and his expenses. Clerks get from $500
to $500 a year.
s The United States civil service COM
mission has ordered that an examination
be held here on Saturday, Jan. Is, 1897,
commencing at 8 O'clock a. M, for the
internal revenue service. The examin-
ing board is very DESTROYS of having a
large examination and the successful
ones will not wait long for appointment

AN INSURANCE COMMISSION.
Auditor Elect Hal. Aver Says He Doesn' I
Think it Will be Created.

Auditor-elect Aver says that he viii
not appoint his pension clerk until after
the Legislature adjourns. There are two
reasons for this, he says. One is that
the pension warrants for this year having
already been made out there will be moth
ing during the months OF January and
February for such a clerk to do. In ad-
dition to this Mr.. Aver thinks it possible,
though not at all probable, that an In
surance and Pension Commission may
be created by the incoming Legislature.
III such case he would, of course, have
to discharge his pension clerk after only
two months service.
Mr.. Aver does not believe there is any
great probability OF such a commission
being established, but he says it has been
talked about a great deal OF late. DIR.
Cyrus Thompson, on a recent visit to
Raleigh. said he did not contemplate any
change in the present arrangement. He
will, of course, use all his influence to
prevent it, as about half of the salary
attached to his Office comes from the
insurance companies doing business in
the State. This makes the Office of
Secretary OF State the best paid Office
in the gift OF the people, and the salary
becomes larger as the insurance business
of the State increases.

ROBSON AND JANAUsCHEK

These three" Our Boys" ''Evangel-
ine," Mrs. Ponderbury's Past'-but the
greatest of these is, of course, the one
in which Robson figures. Raleigh has
been given a delightful theatrical week
first, the local amateurs, who made such
u decided hit-second, Evangeline, with
its music and gorgeous stage setting
third, the sparkling, pleasing farce Of last
night laughable, ridiculous, side-split-
ting ut every entrance, ut every situa-
ton, and as cleverly acted rs it possibly
could be- 1t is relief TO have such a
meritorious troupe appear on our boards.
Mr.. Robson ranks with jefferson, Crane,
and, of course, Goodwin and Wilson, and
that's the very tip-top, and the play pre-
scented afforded ample opportunity for a
display of his remarkable talents. His
characterization of Mr.. Ponderbury is as
much creation as is Jefferson's Bob
Acres" or Mansfield's Beau Brummel"
1t is rather wonderful how Nine.
Janauschek, who rarely goes outside OF
tragedy, has adapted herself to the part
of Mrs. Ponderbufy. But the shadow of
that deeper drama. which she used to do
so well, rather added a strength TO the
play. The support was excellent.
The audience, not as large as it should
have been, though quite a fashionable
one, thoroughly enjoyed three hours OF
delightful entertainment, made entirely
too short by continual laughter.

the apprehension and delivery, to the
sheriff of Swain county, of Thad Nick,
a desperate man, three-fourths Indian
and one-fourth negro Two hundred dol
lars OF this reward was offered by Gov.
Carr yesterday, and 5000 Of it had pre-

Steamsey Sheriff., a full-blooded Chero-

killing. The murder which occurred on
December 4, is said to have been very
brutal one. Nick is believed to now be in
Tennessee, and it is said his Whereabouts

the committee has issued an address
earnestly requesting the various sub-Al-
l;ances to meet in special session on Sat
urday the 9th day of January, at their

earther recommends that the cOntribu-
lions Of the sub-Alliances be supplement-
cd nv the county Alliances at the regular

amount. they say, with other funds avail
able. will enable the factory to run sew
eral months uninterrupted.

THE HABIT OF NAIL-BITING.
It Il = Mark of Degeneration Of the Nerv.
GUS System.

1t Il Mark Of Degeneration Of the Nerv-
GUS System.
There has just been issued from the
Paris press brochure which is creating
a large amount of interest in French
medical circles, both on account of its
originality and the experimental re-
suits which it embodies. 1t is from the
pen of DIR. Edgar Berillon, so well
known in the surgical world by reason
of his prominent connection with the
dead Charcot in the latter's hypnotic
experiments, and at present Secretarie
General de la Societe d'Hypnologie ct
de Psychologist of Paris and medical in
spector of the state lunatic asyIums.
The work is scientific treatise on ony-
cophagie, or fngernail biting, and con-
tains the results of series of observa-
lions in the public and private schools
of France, and extending through a
period of more than seven years. At
the congress of the French Association
for the Advancement of Sciences, held
at Nancy in 1886, Berillon first an
nounced his observations on the habit
of nail-biting, and since that time has
been in almost continuous experiment
In his thoroughly scientific treatment
of what the world has never before con-
sidered worthy of prolonged or special
study Berillon has arrived at results
really remarkable. His experiments
lead him to pronounce the habit far
more widespread and pernicious than
Il 80
to conclude that, if not disease itself,
it is an unfailing mark Of incipient de-
generation of the nervous system,
which, ,unrecognized, may be productive
of the most evil results.
