ELECTIONS COMMITTEE MEETS
And Goes Into Mysteries at Mere Mention
of Broughton- Young Contest.

The House Committee on Privileges
and Elections met at o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the Supreme court room to
continue the hearing in the two con-
tested cases from Necklenburg county.
Mr.. Keerans, of Charlotte, one of the
counsel for the sitting members, made a
strong, forcible and elaborate argument
OF IN hour and half's length, reviewing
clearly aud concisely all the evidence in
the case and discussing in an able and
convincing argument the law bearing
upon the claims made by the contes-
tants. Mr.. Keerans closed his argument
at $3.50 o'clock and was to be followed by
w. R. Henry for the contestants. MIR.
Henry announced that the session of the
committee being nearly over he would
prefer not beginning his argument until
a future meeting, and his request was
granted.
Col. Jno. S. Cunningham, Of the COM
mittee, arose and made an appeal to the
committee to appoint a subcommittee to
take the delayed dispositions in the
Broughton and Young contest, that this
case might be heard at an early day and
decided on its merits.
Col Cunningham's suggestion was
earnestly supported by MeSsrs. Fergerson
and Duffy, of the committee, but the
mere mention of this call gave the op-
position a genuine case of nervous hys-
terics and a scramble to adjourn began.
The oratorical bump from Ashe jumped
to his feet, and while Mr.. Duffy was
speaking, moved to adjourn. Chairman
Cook was listening for the moment to
Mr. Duffy and paid no attention to the
motion, but the committee proceeded to
adjourn just the same, in general con-
fusion and disorder. 1t is evident that
the committee are not willing to let the
true merits Of this case come up as long
rs it can be avoided, although Chairman
Cook instructed the clerk of the com
mittee to bring the House resolution,
which was referred to the committee on
Friday, before this afternoons session
when the matter may come up again.

Shakers and Doctors
Talk Together.

In his able work entitled Longevity,
published a few years ago, DR.. John Gard
ner, of England, predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much be-
yond it's present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time TO time
upon the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to in
quire of them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants, in which these sincere,
simple minded and God-fearing people
are known to be wise and skillful beyond
ali other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use Of The most important
point was that if genuine and certain
remedy could be found for Indigestion and
dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
of it, long step would be taken in the
right direction. Old age, said these ply
sicians, begins in failure of the diges-
ton, and so do most diseases at any and
all periods of life. The result of these con-
sutations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made
wholly from herbs, and now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial Its action
is magical and worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth, biliousness, weakness and
WEAKNESS, cold hands and feet, aversion
to food, nervousness, or any other symp-
tom of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove
its curative virtues. Behind it is the
reputation of people who have never
defrauded or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy
is adapted to your case, at practically no
cost, you may procure a trial bottle for
ten cents of almost any druggists.

A PAIR OF JACKS.

1t seems almost pity for a dozen such
clever artists as those that compose Rich
and Meader's comedians to be playing at
such no-plotted and no-dated conglom-
crate rs "A Pair of Jacks" and yet these
clever people fill the little extravaganza
so full Of real good music, dialogue and
acting that they make it first class
show, and one that was greatly enjoyed
by a good audience at the Academy Of
Music last night The play has no plot,
and no date. and not much of anything
else, but this makes no difference. In
deed, the first act is not half over before
everybody in the audience is glad that
they hadn't got to be looking out for
connecting scenes, or worrying over
situations. for If they did they would not
have time to Iaugh enough to do the show
real Justice. and to show due appreciation
for the genuine fun-makers that compose
the troupe IT is good show, and merits
good patronage.

GREENWOOD.

Still so cold that there was q frost on
low land Monday morning, and It has
been so wet that much Of the sweet corn
failed to come up, so they have been
planting 1t over, either with corn or
beans. Ii Is now so late that the sweet
corn crop Is already looked upon as a
failure, as It must be unless the weather
changes at once for the better. and con-
tinues so until late into September.
The potato crop has also failed to
come up in some places. One man says
he will have his all to plant over, besides
being obliged to buy the seed, which Is
now 80 cents bushel.
The crows are making bad work with
corn in places, and occasionally they
come TO grief by so doing. Wesley
Warehouse set three traps In close
proximity and crow was so cute as To
get into all three Of them. He was
caught by his feet In two Of them, while
one wing was In the third. That crow
must have acknowledged himself fairly
caught. Another was so fortunate IA ia
get out OF the trap, but left part Of his
foot there. There ought to be liberal
bounty on every crow killed but instead
OF that probably the next Legislature
will make law to protect them.
