FRIDAY, DECEMBER "a, '97
1897.

The year Of 1897, now almost
gone, has been, upon the whole,
good year with all our people We
have all had our sorrOws-sOme OF
us grevious ones, perhaps-and the
shadows have mingled freely with
the sunshine, but in the majority Of
cases the sunshine has succeeded
the shadow, and sunrise has fol
lowed the night. Across the hearth
stones of only few of our homes
has the death-angel passed, and
left a vacant chair. We have all
had a suificiency of the necessarles
of life. In short, a benliicent
providence. who takes cognizan ce
of our minutes needs, has shOwered
blessings upon us beyond our
deserts. Let the lessons OF the
past year abide with us. Night and
day succeed each other in rapid
succession is followed by
sunshine tears by laughter. The
snow which gathers its cold wool
about the fee tot the shiverlng trees
has daisies sleeping beneath, which
will awake and bloom. Let all
our prejudice and illfeeling if we
have any, die with the old year,
and peace on Earth, good will to
men, he our song. Tho future will
be better than the past. Happy
the man who looks not regrettully
and deSpairingly to the past, but
ioyfully and hopefully turnes to the
future.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not Liable to
any form of disease except by one or
two ways. The first way is from inn
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der was created for one purpose, and if
not dOctored too much is not liable TO
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore anv

trouble of some sort. The error is east
iy made and may be rs easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or

FIFTY YEARS.

With the close of the present
year the News completes the Fiftieth
yeas of its exiStance as a news
paper, having been established in
1917. The pepper has seen many
changes during this wonderful half
century Of American history. 1t
would be Interesting, were the
material available, to give the list
of the men who, at different times
have edited the paper, some of
them-moSt Of them perhaps. were
men of strong and vigorous intel
lects. The paper has been, we be.
lieve, SOundly democratic through
all these years. So far as we can
learn the banner of Democracy has
never failed to float from its mast
head At some future time, if pos
slble, we hope to give brief his
tory OF the paper from Its birth.
We feel to thank our patrons of the
paper for the liberal patronage
given us during the brief time we
have had charge.

A GOLD BUG JUDGE DEFEATED

Judge Il. ID. Newman, of Shen-
andOah County was renominated,
in the Legislature, for the Judge
ship. His opponent, F. S. Taven-
ner, Free Silver Democrat, was
unanimously elected. We believe
that Mr.. Newman received one
vote. 1t was stated, that although
Judge Newman worked and voted
for the State ticket last Fall, that
in 1896 he voted against Bryan,
and for Palmer and Buckner, and
his friends could not say what he
would do, should Free Silver be
the Issue in 1900. This ended it.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

1t was Mr.. Folkes, and not Mr..
Opie, as we stated last week, who
offered the resolution to appoint a
committee of five to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY Of the State printing
the Public School books Of the
State. The House passed the res
OlutiOn. This seems to It's a very
important measure. For a mum
Der of years we have been in the
clutches Of the American Book
Company, and bitter fight has
been waged over this contract.
The recent and former inveStiga-
tiOns and scandals connected with
the school book question, and the
enormous prices paid for these
books by the patrons Of the schools
is clear proof that something
is decidedly wrong with
the whole business. The best
thing that has happened for years
is the recent Investigations con
Quoted by the Confederate Veter-
ans The farther the inves-
tigation goes the worse the whole
business will show up. Mr..
Folkes, in explanation of his bill
says: / had no idea of the State
establishing a printing house, but
that the work could be done on
the same principle as at. present
for other work. The State Of Cali
lOrnia publishes its own text book 5
and L understand FROM people who
have looked into it that text books
are far cheaper there than here.
Under the present system we hav e
nothing but scandals and dis
satisfaction. If we change from
the present text books we JUMP
from one book company to another
and it costs us 100000. That i,
the trouble that cOnfrontS us now
The poor children have not the
tribute to pay book companies
and SO | thought then and think
now that it is Il matter worthy Oi
consideration. 1t might encOurag,
our present efficient teachers t.
write the books for the publ,
schools. 1t might mean 100000
for our manufacturers, publishers

might also end this thing abOu
unfair histories to the people o
the South. We could publish
those of Southern authors tina
place our construction on the con
Stitution and above all things We
could let the young people of the
South know who were the true
heroes on the Confederate side and
compel these fellows who never
smelt gun powder and who have
won titles in street paradeS to take
down their signs and let honor bC
accorded to those to whom honor
is due. Under the present sy stem
our people cannot even sci: five
cents blank book or pen points tC
the children without the consent
of publishing trusts. IfCalifornia
can publish her OWE books cheaper
for the people let us at least invcS
tigate. That is all the resolution
asks for.

The very many friends of Messrs:
Jones & Powell will be greatly gratihed
to learn that the damage suit brought
against them in Durham by j. 5. Dur
ham has been finally ended in their favor.
1t will be remembered that this man Sc
cured two car loads of ice from Jones d
Powell under circumstances that they
regarded as suspicious and was arrested
at the October fair of 1895, but discharg-
ed by the magistrate. Thereupon Dur
ham sued them for $4,000 damages to
his character. 1t was tried in March,
1896, and the jury gave verdict for
Durham for 81 800. Jones & Powell APP
pealed to the Supreme Court and the
case was decided in favor of Jones X
Powell. Today, realizing the futiEty of
his suit, after the Supreme Courts de-
cision, Durham took non suit. This is
a complete vindication of Messrs. Jones
& Powell and is a great victory. They
were represented by f. III. Busbee, of
this city, and Maj. w. A. Guthie and
Manning & Foushee, of Durham.
