SKINNER CALLS BUTLER
NAMES.

The Washington correspondent to
the Charlotte Observer says:
Harry Skinner thus expresses him
self to the Washington Post concerning
Buffers interview, in which Skinner
Is charged with being "Hanna's agent ~
II have just been considering" said
he, whether Senator Butler is knave
or lunatic. It is rather a puzzling
question to solve, and 80 my conclusion
is that the Seuator is both. He is a
knave by nature and lunatic by rea-
son of having his hand disclosed when
he becomes desperate, violent, and
crazy. Like all other lunatics, he is
harmless in an asylum. The lndepeno-
ent, brave, and patriotic Populists of
North Carolina, who are on my side in
this fight, will shear him Of his power
and nothing will remain to him except
the wagging tongue of lunatlc. His
influence and prestige in the State are
the obscurity that awaits all tricks.ers
OF ais etrlpo.
"He will 60 out of Office 'unwept, un-
honored, and unsung,' and it will be q
good day for the State when it is no
longer represented by such an I'M
worthy son. He boasts of having the
Populist party of North Carolina at his
back, but the truth is that large ma
jority of the best men and the most
influential leaders in the party haye
found him out and utterly repudiate
his claims to the dictatorship. He has
but bare majority of the central COM
mittee, but in the executive committee
there is majority against him. His
charges of fraud and corruption in the
election of Senator Pritchard are false
in every particular, wilfully and mali
ciously false, and no one knows this
better than the author of the SANDER
Gus statements"

BY Mr.. Cox, to define lawful fences
in Pitt county; to require owners OF
personal property TO list it at Its full
value.
By Mr.. Purgason, to make it mis-
demeanor to give or sell intoxicating

Mr.. Sutton's bill empowering the

such court is to be convened. The bill
then passed as amended.
By leave a bill was introduced by Mr..
Ferrell to enlarge the jurisdiction of
magistrates. 1t provides that the pun

tenn pied to be used or is used but no
permanent injury Is inflicted, shall be

ment for thirty days. 1t further pro-
vides that whenever anJ person shall
be convicted of carrying concealed
weapons before any justice OF the
peace 1t shall be the latter's duty to
fine the defendant not less than $50 or
| Imprisonment not more than thirty
days If he cannot pay it and the justice
of the peace shall not have authority
to suspend the judgment OF imprison-
ment and on appeal to superior court if
there be conviction judgment shall not
be any less than that of the justice OF
the peace. The common law mlsde-
meanor of forcible trespass shall here
after be punished by fine not exceeding
$50 or thirty days. imprisonment that

WOMAN PA Us POLLTAX.
Dunn Union.

Dunn Union.
It issaid there is nothing new under
the sun, but our reporter has found
something entirely new-a woman who
pays poll tax. There lives woman in
Robson county, near the little town OF
Rowland, who pays poll tax every year.
She says she has to take the place of a
man on the farm. She ploughs, hauls,
chops cotton and does other work on
the farm and says that she feels it her
duty to pay poll tax as a man. She is
undoubtedly more public spirited than
most men. Our reporter did not find
whether she desired to vote or not.
She is probably the only woman in the
United States that pays a poll tax.

EXPOSURE TO DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
tion OF disease provided the system Is
IN vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs In healthy ac-
tlon. When in such a condition con-
taglon is readily resisted and the disease
germs can find no Judgement. Hoods
Sarsaparlla Is the best medicine to
to build up the system be cause it
makes pure, rich blood and pure blood
Is the basis OF good health. In cold
weather it is especially necessary to
keen up the health tone because the
body Is subject to greater exposure and
more liable to disease. Hoods Sarsa-
parllla Is the safeguard of health.

The somewhat startling proposition
was made in the January Arena of
of having estate physician" and "a
Court of Medicine and Surgery" in hos
pitals, clinic, etc. The idea appears
to have originated in Minnesota, where
especially it is proposed to bring the
matter before the legislature this win-
ter. The subject is agitated further in
the February Arena, in symposium
written by three prominent physicians
and two lawyers, followed by correspon-
dence from two medical-college plofes-
sors and a well-known physician in
Minnesota. The discussion is pro and
con, while the criticism and modiica-
tions urged are so cogent that it may
perhaps truthtully be said that so far
the weight OF authority seems on the
whole to be the adverse to the project,
still so many valuable suggestions have
been struck out that in any case much
and permanent good is likely to result
from the discussion. The medical
men and lawyers In almost every State
have taken the subject to their newspa-
pers and journals, and the end is not
yet.

THURSDAY, FEB. IL. 1897.

The Rocky Mount Argonaut last
week sent out a special trade issue. 1t
made good showing for almost every
business concern in the town. 1t con-
tanned no advertisements, but was
DEVOTED exclusively to a write-up Of
the town. It showed considerable
energy and enterprise, and the work is
to be commended.

His last visit left rather a non-com-
initial impression, and Hopper himself
in the carefully rehearsed impromptu
speech frankly admitted that he had
not looked for this sort of reception in
Salt Lake. But he fits lei Captain as
Ell Captain" fits him, and from hence
forth he may count himself as one of
our assured favorites. He is welcome

day over the decision of the court in
the case of Beauchamp VS.. the Salt
Lake Dramatic association. The case
was one in which a courtesan was re-
fused admission to the lower part of
the theater; she brought suit for $500
damages; the theater company adj
mitted her statement but set up her
character, offering to prove their ale
cations by the police records. All the
facts were admitted on both sides, a
jury was waived and Judge Cherry
found for the theater corporation. This
ought to settle a very annoying Gus
tom about which a great deal of COM
plant has been made at the Salt Lake
theater. and women of the class of this
plaintiff will have to content them
selves with seats in the upper part of
