The Dry Town Matter.
The State.

The State.
While it was expected that
Judge Simonton would decide as
he did in regard to the 90 p
stores in dry towns, there was all
the same no attempt on the part
of the State officials yesterday to
conceal the pleasure they felt over
their victory. Governor Ellerbe
said that he had felt perfectly
confident of winning these cases
and was in no wise surprised.
The decision that % p stores
cannot be run in dry towns means
a good deal, when it is said that
there are about 100 such towns in
the State. The policy of the
State board has been not to at
tempt the establishment of dis
pensarles in such towns. Had
the decision been otherwise the
90 P's,' would have had this ter
ritory to themselves.

Some of Lincoln's best stories we're told
in answer to the criticisms made upon his
administration. There was a large class OF
Northerners who were always Directing TO
everything that was done. They made great
fuss, and they greatly injured the administra-
tion The worst Of these critics were those
who complained about the war not moving
fast enough To party Of such men from
the West he once said:
Gentlemen, l want you to suppose case
for moment. Suppose that all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you had put
1t in the hands of Blondin, the famous rope
walker, to carry across the Niagara Falls on
. tight rope. Would you shake the rope while
he was passing over 1t, or keep shouting to
him:
'Blondin. stoop little more! 90 little
faster? !"
mo; am sure you would not. You would
hold your breath as we'll your tongue, and
keep your hands of until he was safely over.
Now, the government Is in the same situation.

been among them in his religious ca
pacity and entertained no fears for
the safety Of himself and companion.
The men, says the letter, procured

than any Of the African tribes, cap

From the Chronicle Chicago. ILL.,
-Four years ago, at the age OF TWEEN
ty-nine I found myself q total wreck
from the use of tobacco, to which 1
had been a slave from early child
hood" said John Mackey, of English,
Ind, few days ago. Dyspepsia, with
its multitude of fortunes, was my prln-
cipal complaint. I called upon ply
stefan In whom I have all confidence.
I had the ever present pipe IN my
mouth. After an elaborate examina-
ton the doctor spoke tersely, saying:
yes, I can cure you, conditionally.
You must first quit the use of tobacco!
Having a strong will I stepped to
the Office door and threw my pipe and
tobacco into the street with a VOW to
touch the weed no more. Perhaps the
doctor might have cured me, but he
died within one month and no other
physician found a remedy for my ills
pepsia was now laid in the shade by
vertigo, nervous headache and general
twitching Of my nerves. Neuralgia, the
king Of torments, racked my system
until my head could be raised to take
nourishment only by raising the pillow
with it. The veins Of my head swelled
until they were as large as ones little

but few doses Of Pink Pills when I
found relief from pain, and balmy

II continued the use of the pills until
had taken thirteen boxes. I have had.
no recurrence of any of my trouble, and

Steel Company Strikers.
CLEVELAND, O., May "a knock
out blow to the strikers Of the Con-
solidated Steel company was delivered
by. Judge. Sage, Of the United States
circuit court. this morning. He al
lowed the. temporary injunction against
them to stand at the conclusion of an
exhaustive opinion. Judge Sage main
tanned that the proof was conclusive
that violence had been done the men
in the employ of the company. He
held that, If the strikers were not ac
tually engaged in violent acts, they
were at least the ruling spirits of them.
Furthermore, he held that the rod mill
workers union was the fountain head
of the trouble, and that 1t was clear
that the strikers had interfered with
the lawful right Of the company The
judge called attention to the fact that
since the temporary injunction was
granted the company had not been
molested. During the reading of the
opinion the court room was crowded
with attorneys. manufacturers and
strikers
