or great business enterprises, SHOWS
that in the country villages the great
lawyers of the past were produced. The
tendency of later years is for them to
90 into the cities DR.. Manning not
only was leader of the bar to be fol-
lowed. In public life he was equally
sound, and as member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1875, served the
State so ably as to deserve the grateful
appreciation of his people for all time.
When able to leave his duties at the
University, he attends the Plttsboro
court and is looked up to as the Nestor
Of the bar.
Mr.. Henry A. London is the oldest ac-
tive member of the bar, and is employ
ed in nearly every case that is tried in
the courts of Chatham county. He is
an able, honest and successful lawyer,
enjoying the confidence and respect of
all men.
Womack & Hayes is law firm of ex-
ceptional strength. The senior MEM
Der of the firm, ex-Judge Thomas d.
Womack, has had many signal evidences
of the esteem of the people Of his county,
having been chosen solicitor of the In
ferior court, member of the House of
Representatives, State Senator and SUI
perior Court Judge, filling all these
places with ability and acceptability.
The junior member, Mr.. r. FL. Hayes,
has been at the bar here four years,
serving as county attorney two of these
years. He has attained merited popu-
larity in the county, having as the
Democratic candidate for the House Of
Representatives reduced the opposition

composed of two able attorneys, is en-
ployed on one side of nearly every case
tried in the county.
Knitting mills, flour and grain mills,
cotton gin, wood work shop, blacksmith
shop, harness shop, and shoe shop ate
some of the industries and enterprises
that give Pittsboro it's local business and
make the busy people of the town pros
porous and happy.
There are two newspapers in Pitts
boro. The Chatham Record, edited by Mr..
III. A. London, was established 10 years
ago, and during all these years it has not
missed an issue. The Record has been
no small factor in the towns history, and
its utterances have done no little to-
wards shaping the affairs OF the county.
Mr.. London is a strong editor-wise and
true-and his influence is always for
good.
The Chatham Citizen, edited by Mr..
r. B. Lineberry, was established a5ont
two or three years ago. 1t is published
weekly, is devoted to the exposition CT
the principles of the Populist party, and
to the progress Of the county.
Pittsboro is the county seat of a county
rich in the great men it his produced, in
fertile, soil, undeveloped resources, ard
all else that goes to make great
county.
Chatham county, drained by the Cape
Fear, is one of the most central rs well
as one of the largest counties in the
State, containing nearly 100000 acres OF
land and being exceeded in size by only

His head and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi-
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of friend we
gave him SIS. (Swift's Specifc), and
at first the Inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"

of the board of aldermen of that city,

VALUE OF LAND.
The eyes Of homeseekers have been di-
rected to this section Of the country dur
ing the past four years, and as one con-
templates the numberless advantages Of
fered he is not surprised-the only sur
prise is that people will remain in the
sterile hills of New England and en-
deavor to dig living from the hard,
rocky soil that there abounds or continue
to exist on the bleak prairies OF the west,
where the cyclone, the hot winds and
droughts laugh at the efforts Of man to
secure bread for his family and clothes
for those dependent upon him, when a
country like this offers it's salubrious
climate, it's hospitable, intelligent civili-
cation and its productive and varied land,
where all the crops that can be raised al
most anywhere, can be had for a mere
pittance of their real value. Every in
ducement is offered to good citizens, eth
er manufacturers or farmers who will
locate.
1t has been my intention here to give
n true statement of facts inst rs thew
are, without any booming or misrepresen-
tation, only for correct information.

Jeter Casts the Deciding Vote For the
Coyote ScaIP Bounty Bill
A Farce at Tie Bar Of the House and
Free But BlOOdeSs Fight In
duIged H.

It was a steady rush all through yes
terday's session of the Senate There
We're no fiaring bursts of oratory, and
the Senate lost none of its dignity, but
there was an even steady pressure all
day and night
The coyote scalp bounty appropriation
bill was one of the principal features,
and became more conspicuous because
the Senate was evenly divided on the
question land it took the vote Of the
Lieutenant-Gover to settle the mat
ter and pass the bill.
The fee bill was not so fortunate as
the scalps bill, and Seawell taking the
initiative, it was gently placed on the
table where it lies dormant, and over its
form the Senate has pronounced the
feeling words, rest in peace"
Then again the bill providing that rail-
road companies shall construct depots,
build switches, side tracks, etc, at every
crossroads, met with disaster on re-
consideration, after its friends had
imagined it safe in port. 1t died hard,
but it died.
While the Legislature is billed to adj
journ at noon to-day. the probability is
that when the sun drops behind the
Coast Range they will be still in ses-
sion. It is thought special manipula-
tor will be stationed at the clock, and
that the hands will be twisted back with
persistent regularity.
At caucus held by the Republican
members of the Senate yesterday after
noon, it was decided to refuse to confirm
the appointment by the Governor Of
John T. Bohen for Harbor Commits
sioner for the bay Of San Francisco, and
continue in the position John Haskell,
the present incumbent who was ap-
pointed by Governor Budd, and whose
official term, four years, has not yet ex-
pired.
1t was further decided to refuse to
confirm the nomination of Abbott Kin
ney for Trustees of the Whittier State
School, vice Trustee Patterson, and it is
believed that the position will be filled
ellner by ii. w. ration OI <aSSSlilply iiioi
Meade.
1t is believed that the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges OF
bribery preferred against the Senate by
the Examiner viii this morning be
continued after the session, with limited
powers to act.
LAST T LEGISLATIVE DAY
In the Assembly the nervous strain
andfthe wear and tear Of three sessions
a day for several weeks have told on the
ternpers of the members as we'll as on
their physiques.
Yesterday was signalized by some hot
enconters of a wordy nature and petty
battles We're frequent. Nevertheless
there was good generalship and pretty
steady push of file work from 10 a. m.
till the hours had "a. m" tackled to them
again. The small and early hours
had arrived before the well worn gavel
was laid down.
To-day the raveled ends will be gath
cred up, good byes said and grip sacks
packed, and tomorrow the thirty-sec-
ond session of the Legislature will be
ancient, instead of current history.

CALL OF THE SENATE.
The roll call proving indecisive, call

was ordered, stood 20 ayes, 10 noes.
1t was understood that Wolfe's vote
was the one relied upon by the propo-
nents of the measure, but it was long
half hour before he was brought in.
Bulla moved he be scalped, but as
there was no adept scalper present.
the motion was ruled out of order.
THE BILL LOST.
Even then nothing was accomplished.
Feeney, Hall, Henderson, Toner and
Wolfe sat in their seats and sturdily
refrained from voting
Wilmington changed his vote from
aye to no. and the bill was declared lost
by vote of 10 to 16
NOTICE OF RECONSIDERATIO
Wilmington gave notice that at 2

fused passage.
So, for brief space the noted coy
ote scalp bill was relegated to a back
seat, the clouds which had gathered
rolled away, and the sun shone.
DEPOTS, SWITCHES, ETC.
Then Wmght's bill, 327, providing
that railroad companies shall be COM

passage of the bill and it was defeated

without murmuring.

A man who travels for a San

ness takes him all over the coast,
said in our store the other day,
that he always bought his clothing
here. In fit, quality and value he
could do better with us than any,
where else. This man is extra
large, but we make it a point to be
able to fit men of unusual build as
perfectly as we do those requiring
regular sizes.
One of the suits which we have
in these special sizes, is a blue
worsted Serge Suit, all wool, and
fine texture. 1t will hold its color
