COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARPH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these uioerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
tion and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.

which he rented to night dodgers. He had
been for some time annoyed by un-
known people trespassing in the rooms,
and committing nuisances in there On
the night of the killing he heard noise
in one of the rooms and took his pistol
in his hand, with no intention of using it
unless for defense became necessary. Just
as he got to the door in the pitch dark
some one ran by him, jammed his arm
against the door frame and the pistol
went off accordingly. The person was un-
known to him, and he had no idea that
any one was hurt until some time after
when standing on the street, some one
told him a woman had been shot up in
the hall, whereupon the young man
stated that a pistol had discharged in his

woman, and he at once procured medical
attention for her. He did all he could for
her, though he did not know the woman.

UBIQUITOUS SYSTEM OF PlLLAGE. "

There is need for an equalization Of
property, and the original act making the
Railroad Commission board of equaliza-
ton was a wise step. The work COM
mitted to them was the most difficult
that could be entrusted to any body of
men. 1t cannot be done in a hurry, and
it had better not be attempted at all
than to be done at random.
News comes from all sections of the
State that the people are incensed at the
pretense of equalization practiced by
the Railroad Commission. The Windsor
Leader says that the Register of Deeds
of that county has received orders to in
crease the value Of every mule, cow,
yearling, bull, steer and cattle beast
generally, one fifth. The Ledger truly
says:
mo matter what your mule or cattle
beast is now valued at, it is to be in
creas ased twenty per cent or one fifth. 1t
may now be valued at it's full value
No matter it must go higher. No more
iniquitous system of pillage was ever
devised to rob an unsuspecting people.
The fifty dollar mule goes up to sixty
dollars, the ten dollar OK, goes up to
twelve dollars. There is but one reason
for this. Increased offices to make
places for Populist Republican strikers
who have taken up the money
of the treasury and more must
be had. We desire to make
plain the effect of this action.
Every man who listed his cattle at their
value, will be compelled to pay one fifth
more taxes on them and it is the same
with his mules. An ad valorem tax on
the venaIity and rescality of the last
Legislature would give enough revenue
to coat North Carolina with silver dol
lars. But men who provide for taxing
others generally let themselves out"

THE OvERsHADOWlNG NATIONAL ISSUE.

The rise in. the price Of wheat has
saused some superficial people to think
no temporary and accidental thing
would work a change in the convictions
of the people, and that the six and half
million men who voted for Bryan last
year would be ready to desert. Ihe
Wilmington Star, one of the most level
headed papers in the South, states the
truth clearly when it says:
"Mr. Bryan was right when he
said in his speech in the Democrat
n convention at Lincoln, Neb., Wed
nesday, that bimetallism was still
the paramount issue and would re-
main SO until it was settled. II 1t
was right a year ago it is right now,
and it's claims to serious attention
and earnest effort cannot be lessened
nv fortuitous advance in the price
of farm products or the forced de-
crease in the price of silver bullion.
These are mere incidents which do
not affect the merits of the question
at all, because one may be consider
ed an accident and the other the re-
sult Of combined movement by the
gold monometallists, against whom
we are arrayed. If we have any
hope of preserving bimetallism, it
would be folly to abandon that issue
row or even relax our efforts in de-
fence of it, for any yielding on the
part of silver men will be interpreted
as a weakening indicative of surren-
der and will embolden the opponents
Of silver and encourage them to
make more aggressive, vigorous, and
concerted war upon it. Their deliber-
ate purpose is to beat it down until it
ceases to be used for or recognized
as money the world over, other than
as mere token money, for which at
any time aluminium or some other
manufactured metal might be substi-
tuted, thus getting rid Of silver alto
gether. To keep up the fight is not
only good policy, but it is absolute
" necessary. To fail to do SO, or to
relax our efforts, will be virtual
surrender"

THE ANNAPOLIS NEGROES.

Washington, Sept. 3.-One Of the two
negroes nominated for cadetship at An
napolis, has lost his chance of appoint
ment. This is J. s. Smith, who was
named by Representative Geo. White, Of
Chicago, to represent the Fifth Illinois
district at the Naval Academy. Smith
was to have been examined some time
ago, but at his request the time was ex-
tended to Sept. 1st, in order to afford
him further opportunity for preparation
in his studies. He failed, however, to
appear at Annapolis for examination last
Wednesday and the Department being
so informed, the person named from the
Fifth Illinois district as an alternate
has been directed to appear for examina-
tion. He is Ernest 4Schoeter. also Of
Chicago. and has been allowed ten days
in which to appear. If he passes the ex-
animation he will receive the appoint
ment that was within the reach of Smith.
The other negro nominee. Bundy. is
now under examination at the Academy
and 1t is expected that this will consume
several days. Meanwhile ii will not be
known whether or not he has passed nm

THE RESULT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The complete vote in the South Caro-
lima primary was: McLaurin, 29,25o;
Evans, 1O,690; Irby, 6,149. The result
is most gratifying. The victory for
Senator McLaurin personally over two
very Objectionable and unworthy men IS
an evidence that South Carolina wants
no blackguards or little fellows rattlins
around in the Senate.
In the recent discussion ON the tariff
IN the Senate, Mr.. McLaurin voted to
nut raw materials on the dutiable list,
and Irby. The result of the election
shows that this vote did not defeat Mr..
McTaurin, though it cost him some
votes. The hopeful thing about the re-
suit is thus stated by Senator McLaurin:
with regard to internal affairs in
South Carolina l regard the result
of this primary as meaning pre-emi-
nently the end Of factiOnal feeling in
the State. A new political era has
dawned on the State. Up to this
time for the past six years the cleo
tons, State county municipal,
from county coroner up. have only
been a question as to the man who
could shout the loudest for the reform
faction and for Tillman. l do not
smean to say anything against Sena-
tor Tillman or to impugn the mo-
tivcs of the men who have been call
ing for reform; but believe the time
has come when something else is re-
uuired of public men and asplrants
for office generally. The decision Of
the people from this time forward is
going to be based on the ability and
the character of the man and the
doctrine and principles he advocates.
That is one meaning Of the result of
this primary and so far as South
Carolina is concerned it is by no
means the least"
1t is a bad thing for any State when
little fellows can climb into office by
boot licking boss, :. whether it is a
good boss or a bad boss. Tillman is
strong in South Carolina because he is
man of strong natural powers and the
people believe he is honest. But, though
big majority believe in him, the South
Carolinians will not let him dominate
them as Quay dominates Pennsylvania.
Tillman has shown great wisdom in
that he has not sought negro assistance
in his crusades. He has recognized that
the white man will control the South.
No man can rise to prominence ON the
negro vote who is not doomed to politi-
cal annihiation. 1t is only question
of time, and when he falls, the man who
puts the reins of government in negro
hands, in order to get an office for him.

C0NGER'S BILL OF PARTICULARS.

It is gratifying to see that there is
At least one Ohio Republican who has
not grovelled in the dirt before Mark
Hanna and his money-bags. In the
history OF this country there has been
no spectacle in any party so shameless
as the domination of Hanna. He has
no idea of politics except as a game
where money tells. He hasn't dared to
open his mouth in the Senate for fear
Vest would peel him from head to heels.
He is the most disgusting product of
corruption who has come to the service
in an age where money dominates
brains.
Col. Conger furnishes bill Of partic-
ulars Of Hanna's bolting the party when
he had nothing at stake. The following
in an extract from letter written by
Conger and read few days ago at
Akron before six thousand people:
sWhen l went to Hanna at the re-
quest of Myron T. Herrick, A. G. How
ard and some of the young Republicans
OF Cleveland with. the request that he
and his friends help Foraker, he put
his hand on my knee, looked me square
in the face and said:
"'Not a d-n cent for Foraker. i
don't like him, and I'll be d-n if l will
vote for him. On the contrary l will
do all I can against him. I then mem
toned Foraker to him for Senator, and
his reply was: Not d-n cent for the
close counties. If we carry the Legisla-
ture Foraker will be candidate for
Senator / then said to him: DO you
mean to say that you would rather see
a Democrat in the Senate than Fora
kerY THAT is about the size of it. said
he. That's the kind of Republican
Hanna was in 1889, and the Cleveland
Leader says we must be loyal to him
now."

AS TO MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

In another column will be found, from
the Birmingham Age-Herald, a singing
criticism of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and
her daughter. It's bitterness seems to
have to do with the fact that Mrs. Davis
spends most of her time North We do
not medde here with a matter so delicate
and personal except to suggest that we
do not believe that the residence Of Mrs.
Davis is ordered from any apathy toward
the South. We are not prepared to charge
that distinguished woman or her daugh-
ter with being estranged from the land
of Jefferson Davis as well as of them
selves. We believe when the facts are
known, the reasons will be quite clear
why Mrs. Davis spends her time where
she does. And if they were known as
well to the writer in the Birmingham
Age Herald as they are to some others,
such an unjust and hasty utterance
should be impossible.
Beyond the fact that her position i'm
poses silence upon her, there is another
overwhelmingly pathetic set of circum-
tances that will doubtless leave the Age
Herald master of the situation as far as
any defense from Mrs. Davis is con.
cerned.
Such writing we do not believe is wise
specially when its tone indicates sc
clearly that the writer is stabbing in the
dark heart, if the truth were known
quite as loyal and. loving to the South, as

RAILROAD RATES HIGHER.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Permits It.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Permits It,
To the Editor: On all points along the
the Southern Railroad West Of States
vile and east of Morristown, Tenn,
there exists an unjust discrimina ton
in freight rates to and from eastern
cities.
Take as an example the rate on first
class freight from Boston to Morristown
and Knoxville, Tenn, via Hickory of
S1.O0 per 100 pounds while the rate
from Boston to Hickory straight is SLIP.
The same proportionate discrimination
exists on all other classes of freight
handled in this territory to and from
Boston. New York and Baltimore.
The Southern Railroad will haul Balti-
more freight right by Hickory on to
Knoxville for 95 cents per 100 pounds.
but if billed to Hickory it is $1.01 and il
to Asheville $1.01. Not only do we
catch it from Eastern points, but also
from Western cities. The rate ON sixth
class from Cincinnati and Louisville to
Statesville is 80 cents via Hickory, but
if the same freight stops at Hickory this
side of Statesville 45 cents is charged.
We have understood that all these
charges are in violation of the Inter
State Commerce law, but cannot think
that the Southern Railroad Company
would take an illegal position.
We would be glad to have you publish
whether a railroad company can legally
charge more for the short than for the
long haul or is it simply matter for
adjustment by the Interstate Commerce
Commission?
