1,400 MILLION

The Estimated Population Of the Earth.
One billion. four hundred million OF
human beings are living or trying to live
to-day in the world. A little more than
one-half of these are women. We have
about S00,000,000 female frailties on this
planet. OF these nearly 500,000,000 are
semi-civilized, about whom little or 10th
ing is known. or the remaining 3OO,-
100000 at Least one-half are suffering
more or less with some chronic ailment
peculiar to their sex. One hundred and
fifty million sick women! What an APP
palling statement. Seven million of akese
sick women live in the IIz6wi les
of Ameica. If this vast of
frail sufferers knew the valv Eu-
ma in ailments of this kind, no melicine
mandatory on earth could make Peru
ma fast enough to supply the demakd for
it. 1t is undoubtedly the greatest emedy
yet devised for nervousness, irregular

TlRRELL GETS OFF LIGHT
THE SLAYER OF JOHN GILL GIVEN ONLY
FOUR MONTHS.
The State Could Not Make Out Case OF
Murder--Eyidence Showed John Gill to
Have Been the Aggressor.

ON Terrell. the negro boy who last
.nring stabbed and killed John Gill, at
Wake Forest, got off light yesterday. 1t
anneared from the evidence that Gill was
q |sfussy" sort Of negro and the aggressor
in the fight in which he was killed. 1t
was therefore agreed by the solicitor and
counsel for the defendant that verdict
of manslaughter be entered.
Before dsing this, however, number
of witnesses were examined. The first of
these was Ida Gill, the sister of the MUIR
dered man. She said John Gill lived in a
house of his own, but boarded at his
fathers and came there about 3 O'Clock
for his supper. Tom Terrell lived with
John. Soon after John got to old man
Gilrs. Tom arrived and wanted the keys
to Johns house to get his bed-clothes.
John said Tom owed him for living in his
house and he didn't know whether he d
let him have his clothes or not. Then
they began to quarrel, Tom saying hed
have his things or somebody's lie; that
he'd been jumping the bushes ana ne
didn't mind keeping it up. linen John
went out into the yard and ordered Iom
to get out of the yard. Ihereupon ION
stabbed him in the side. John lived elght
days and then died of peritonitis.
Tom Terrell, the defendant, told about
the same story, except he said that he did
not cut John Gill until after Gill had
kicked him several times and kept fol-
lowing him. He denied that he had made
threats or that he had gone there intend
ing to have a fight. He said he had had
a quarrel with Gill about a pair Of shoes
before this, but no fight.
Susanna Nelson, who lived within
fifty yards of ellis, testified that she
heard John tell Tom Terrell if he went
into his house to get his things without
paying him he would kill him; she didn't
hear Tom make any threats. She heard
them fighting, but didn't see them.
George Terrell, the defendants half
brother, said Tom was about IL years
sold and had never been in difficulty be-
fore.
Henry Mayo, shoemaker, testified
that Terrell sharpened his knife in his
khop and said he expected to ride the
Eain that night.
7 A petition from citizens of Wake For
st was read, asking the leniency of the
court, on the ground that Terrell is not
Quarrelsome man and has hitherto
aprne a good character.
Upon this showing the court gave Ter
rell only the minimum sentence-four
months upon the roads.
This completed the criminal docket
and after hearing a number of motions
on the civil docket the court adjourned.

decision in the case of Marcus M. Smith
against Secretary of State Thompson, in
which the court was asked to restrain
him from giving to Alfred Will
liams & Co. the exclusive sale # the Su-
preme Court Reports and other law
books.
The decision is very brief and does not
go into discussion of the questions in
volved. 1t simply declares the injunction
dissolved and sets forth that it is adj
judged that the contract entered into be-
tween Cyrus Thompson, Secretary of
State, and Williams & Co., bOoksell-
ers, lis in all respects lawful; us not in re-
straint of trade; is not against public pol
icy, and does not constitute monopoly"
Mr.. Smith had sued out an inju etion to
prevent the carrying out of the ntract
between Secretary Thompson and alfred
Williams & Co. in regard to the sale of
North Carolina Reports and asked tnat
the injunction be continued in force un-
til the final hearing. The court decides
against Mr.. Smith and in favor of Secre-
tary Thompson and Alfred Williams &
Co., refuses to continue the injunction
and dissolves the restraining order here
tofore issued. The case was ." ued
by Douglass & Holding, for
Smith. and McRae & Day, .heys for
Thompson, and Jones & Boykin, attor-
neys for Williams q Co.
