REMARKABLE Forensic DISPLAY

The argument before Justice Lippin-
colt on the appeal from County Clerk
Fishers decision to issue official ballots
to the National Democratic Party, whose

in it distinguished themselves. The arr

and repartee. It was after two O'Clock
yesterday afternoon when the case was
closed. Justice Lippincott will give his
decision on Monday.

Dlsgracefu1 Conduct.

Dlsgracefu1 Conduct.
1t has been frequent talk for the
past few days that some persons have
repeatedly gone at night to the board
ing house of the female academy and
engaged in very ugly behavior. They
have made cat calls around the prem
iseses and ratified the front door and
otherwise made themselves annoying.
The English language is rather too
poor to furnish us with epithets suffi-
GENTLY condemnatory of such conduct.
It is in the highest degree ungentle-
manly for any one to take this method
OF annoying innocent and respectable
ladies. Everybody in the community
knows that while Mr.. w. e. Whit
more, the chief of police, is down
the street at night attending
to his duties as town officer,
there is no male person on the acade-
my premises. Miss Lena Smith, the
Misses Ballou and the boarding stud
ents have been greatly annoyed by the
conduct of the toughs who have passed
about the premises and thus sought to
frlghten them.
Such conduct is mean and low and
contemplate, and everybody in Scot
land Neck except that ilk is heartily
ashamed of it. The offenders against
the peace and quiet of one of our insti-
buttons of learning ought to be brought
to Justice. And the offense becomes
doubIy reprehensible when committed
against ladies. Such conduct merits
as its punishment the confinement In
common Jail the perpetrators of the
deed, and we believe that the univer-
sal sentiment of the town and COM
munity would heartily commend such
sentence could the offenders be
brought to justice. We are heartily
ashamed to chronicle such an occur
renee in Scotland Neck and hope to
hear of no more such conduct.

EADS IN MEDICINE.

There are. fads in medicine as in ey-
erv thing else and a "new thing" fire.
ouently sells for short time simply
because 1t is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, alb
solute merit. The fact that Hood
Sarsaparilla has stood it's ground a
sainst all competition, and its sales
have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, be-
vond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
Of this medicine. The ne things
have come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foundation
of absolute merit and it's power to cure
and it's sales continue to be the largest
IN the world.

there, have it ground and reship the

make a note of this and put in facili-
ties for grinding wheat here.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED.-Mr. F. P.
Shields says that he once thought this
year he would get an average of
$50 pounds Of cotton to the acre, and
then again thought his crop would be
very poor. Now, he says he will get
an average of 425 pounds to the acre
on his entire cotton crop of 40 acres.
This is most excellent crop for this

we hardly think there is any signiti-
canoe political or otherwise to be attach
to it.

needs nothing just now more than some
good and comfortable dwelling houses
for rent. frequently good people de-
sire to move here to live but can not
find suitable houses. AS a proof that
the town needs more houses for rent.
there is not comfortable cottage of
any kind in town that is not already oc-
cupied, and every new house that is
built is rented before it is completed.
Let some one who has the lots and the
build more houses and he will
be doing much towards building up the
