Corruption.


Corruption.
Yesterday morning about nine
o'clock as Mr.. Josephus Daniels, editor
of the News and Observer, was COM
ing TO his Office, just as he passed the
Hotel Florence, he was hailed by
Marshal Carroll and asked to stop, as
he wanted to see him. Mr.. Carroll
opened the conversation, saying that
he understood that Mr.. Daniels had
said he would print nothing more
about him. Mr.. Daniels said that
there was no warrant for such under
standing, and that he would run his
paper as he pleased. Whereupon Mr.
Carroll made a rush for Mr.. Daniels
clutching him by the collar, and they
struggled for ten minutes on the side
walk when Mr.. Carroll tripped Mr.
Daniels up. and both fell to the ground
Mr. Carroll on the top. During the
scufle, Mr.. Carroll continued to say:
IF you don't promise to quit saying
things about me in your paper, III
beat you to jelly" Standing by his
father, with stick in his hand, was
the Marshals son, who continued to
cry ont: BEAT him, father, beat
him!" Mr. Daniels said: You and
your son may bully me as you have
the power, but I'll print what
please Finding that resort to ruff
fianism would not extort promise
not to expose his wrong-doings, the
300 pound bully Ga small crowd having
gathered) who had pressed Mr.. Daniels
to the ground, gave up his attempt, and
walked up the street in company OF
Col Odds.
Later in sfie morning, both parties
wege before Magistrate Roberts who,
after hearing the evidence, fined Mr.
Carroll $40 and costs for assault and
battery, remarlting as he imposed the
fine that the proper place for him to
haze seen Mr.. Daniels was at his of
flee, and not on the street, and that
there was sufficient law for all wrongs
without resort to assault on the street.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
The Bobbitt Drug Company Organized
to Manufacture a New Remedy That
Cures rheumatism.


Some years ago our popular drug
gist, Mr.. ]. Hal Bobbitt, who had been
a diligent student of pharmacy, suf-
fered considerably from rheumatism.
He made preparation that cured him
and he has not felt u return of rheu-
matism since. From time to time he
furnished this preparation to others
who were similarly afflicted, always
with the same happy result. 4 year
or so ago Mr.. j. l.. Ramsey, editor Of
the Progressive Farmer, had a stub
born attack of rheumatism from which
he got no relief until ne tried the pre-
paration that had cured Mr.. Bobbitt.
Ia four or five days his rheumatism
was cone, and he has had no return
OF it StHce. His own experience led
Mr.. Ramsey TO recommend it to num-
Der of his friends all of whom were
benefited by lis use.
This experience led MIR. Bobbitt and
Mr.. Ramsey to consider the ADVISABLE
ty of organizing a company to manu-
facture the remedy on a large scale,
so that the many others coula find re-
lief from rheumatism The result is
the organization of the l}obbitt Drug
Company which has made all arrange
ments for the manufacture Of this
new and scientific remedy called
"Rheumacide' They have Offices and
laboratory i'm the second story Of the
Bobbitt drug store building. Mr. Bob
bitt has charge OF the manufacture
and sale, and Mr.. Ramsey is to select
and carry out the measures necessary
to bring ii before the public. These
gentlemen have faith, based upon per-
sonal benefits received. that "Rheu-
macide" is a complete and radical cure
Of the stubborn disease, rheumatism,
and they are the very men to push it
wisely and actively. The remedy is
put up in large bottles, wrapped in
neat regulation wrappers, attractive
and solid, and retails at S100 per
bottle.
The News and Observer IS glad 10
note the establishment Of this new
business enterprise, and wishes for the
Bobbitt Drug Company the largest
measure of success.

YOUNG AND TALENTED
She Had Won a Warm Place in
All Hearts.
A STEADY STREAM OF CALLERS
Greatly Shocked And Grieved--PaY
Sad Tributes to the Memory of
the Popular Young Wife
and Mother.

On the morning of the 3tst of Janu-
airy, 1895, just a little over q year ago,
surrounded by company Of friends
and admirers, in her home in Green's
boro, Miss Adelyn Andrews, one of the
loveliest and most accomplished young
women in the State, was married to
Mr. e. b. Barbee, of this city, After a
bridal tour in the Southern resorts for
some weeks, the young bride came to
her new home in Raleigh. She found
Il warm welcome from the host of
friends of her warm-hearted and popu
lar husband, and soon by virtue of her
grace and accomplishments, made
place for herself in the regard
of all. She walked right into the
hearts of those with whom she
came in contact, and early became a
general favorite. To loneliness of per-
son and charm of manner she added
many accomplishments, possessing a
voice that charmed and thrilled ali who
heard her sing. She had invitations to
sing wherever music was loved, and
the highest talent was in demand. She
sang with the spirit and understand
ing, and as member of the choir in
Edenton Street Methodist church, her
contribution to the enjoyment of the
services was felt and appreciated by
the large congregations.
There was a sweetness and q depth
and a pathos about her music that
made it touch the heart of the I'M
cultivated as well as win the praise OF
the masters.
1t was in her own home that her best
qualities shone. Her husband was de-
voted to her, giving her a love and
companionship so full that it made her
Young married life full Of sunshine
and happiness. His children found
her a loving and tender mother and
gave her freely their confidence and
love. She leaves a daughter two weeks
old.
The news Of Mrs. Barbee's death,
which occurred yesterday afternoon
at four o'clock, spread rapidly all over
the city. Her friends knew that she
was not well, but on Thursday it was
believed she was getting along well,
and no apprehension was felt Of her
death. Thursday night she took
turn for the worse, and her mother
was telegraphed for, and DIR. Sexton
called i'm DR.. James MCGEE and DIR.
Hubert Haywood as consulting physi-
clans. Her sister, Miss Rose Andrews,
had been with her some time, and IN
response to a telegram, her mother,
Mrs. T.. W. Andrews, of Greensboro, ar
rived yesterday morning.
Mrs. Barbee was born in Greensboro
twenty-one years ago, and is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. i. w. An
drews. and sister Of Mr.. Greek O..
Andrews, editor Of the Press-Visitor.
i She was educated at Greensboro Fee
male College, and afterwards, while
living in Norfolk, Va, was a member
Of the choir in one Of the leading
churches in the city.
The funeral will take place from
Edenton Street Methodist church this
afternoon at o'clock, and will be con-
Quoted by Rev. w. g. Norman.

GENTRY SHIPPED TO NEW YORK

The Alamance Cleaner of this week
SAYS
.Messrs. Holt and Scott expect TO
ship the trotting stock at Alamance
farm Saturday for New York, where
they will be sold reXt week. There are
sixty head and all are in prime condi-
ton. Tt is expected that some Of them
will bring fancy prices. Though the
establishment is young in years the
proprietors had gathered together and
bred some of the very best that ever
took the word, and it had become a
matter of pride to the people of the
county and State at large which every
one regrets to see broken up so soon.
Tuesday morning car load OF
shetland ponies arrived at Alamance
farm. Though Mr.. l.. Banks Holt IS
going out of the trotting-bred horse
business, his innate love for stock will
not permit him to go out of the stock
business altogether. Two more ship
ments OF ponies are expected, we learn.
We hope the venture viii prove profit
able"
