And follow faithfully where IL may lead;
Though il be far from all hold the dearest,
Well swerve not from course in thought

The present must be met with courage brave
The future hoped for. though the past shows

More Light.

1 honor him who still in age aspires,
Not satisfied by gains OF younger years;
Who sits not down to dream, OF shed vain tears
Because the heart has lost some high desires.
But searches on; his spirit never tires;
Though eyesight fail. the inner vision clears.
One the brotherhood of white-cowled seers
Who feed with sweetest oil truths altar fires.
He does not heed the fast-descending
The twilight gloom the terrors of the night,
But says. in words of Attica's wise one.
Il grow DID, learning youth inspiring sight
And breathes, exultant, when the day is done
With Wemar's dying sage. More light, more
light"

NORTON SUES FOR DAMAGES.
He Will Claim $4,000 or $4,000 From
the North Carolina Railroad.

He Will Claim $4,000 or $40, 900 From
the North Carolina Railroad.
Contractor Charles H. Norton has
just returned from the Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, where he has
been for some months under treatment
for the severe injury he received in a
railroad accident, the particulars of
which are well known to our readers,
and has entered suit against the North
Carolina Railroad for the damages he
received in the accident which occur
red at the foot of billiard street last
spring.
1t will be remembered that MIR. Nor
ton and A q. Bauer, the architect, of
Raleigh, were in buggy together,
crossing the railroad track when the
10:30 east bound train on the North
Carolina railroad struck the buggy and
produced the injury for which he now
asks damages.
He will claim some $4,000 or $4,000
damages.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Norton that the
ears were running at an unusual rate
Of speed; that the buggy was thrown
and carried a great distance, and that
the railroad company was careless in
leaving lot of box-cars in the way so
chat no one could see the coming train.
The railroad people deny all these
things, and say that 1T was not negll-
gence in any respect, and that the
train was not running at any great
rate of speed.
We suppose that if Mr.. Norton is en-
titled to recover anything, he will get
considerable damages, as he was badly
hurt and will be injured for life.
Mr.. Bauer, who was not hurt as bad
| Nv az Mr.. Norton, has not yet brought
| suit, but it is understood that he will
also be likely to sue in Durham where
| the accident occurred, and where the
witnesses mostly live.
Only the North Carolina Railroad has
been sued The Southern road, which
| is the lessee of the North Carolina di-
vision. has not been sued.
If this was done so as to avoid an
ATTEMPT to remove the trial to the Fed
eral Court because of local preju-
dices. we can see no reason for this
opercaution, because we believe that as
fair and impartial jury of twelve men
can be found in Durham county as any
where in the world.
Fuller, Winston 81 Fuller represent
Mr.. Norton, and we learn that Mr.. Bus
bee, Of Raleigh, W. A. Guthrie, ane

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as Fheumatism-tha de-
plorable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from a lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of 5. s. s.;
it thins the blood, gives 1t free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert III. King, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. was
