1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired-out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach, gent
ly stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters inn

is pronounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and nerve

"WHITE CAPS" AT LAURINBURG
VIII Roper Arrested for the Murder of
Horace Goodson.

Horace Goodson.
I1aurinburg, JAN 21-(Special. "A
few days ago the News and Observer
contained an account of the shooting
of Horace Goodson, the porter of the
Merchants Hotel. The circumstances
connected with the shooting We're so ag-
grayated as to inspire the authorities to
do all in their power to capture the vi!
lian. They now think they have bagged
their game. The day after the shooting,
viii Roper, a bad character of the town,
was seen lurking around Hamlet and
his actions were so suspicious as to lead
to his arrest. He was Brought here
and tried before Mayor John III. Cook
this morning, after hearing the evidence,
bound him over to court in q boud Of
two hundred and fifty dollars. Failing
to give the bond, he was sent on the
evening train to Jail to await his trial.
One witness swore that Roper had con-
fessed to the shooting, and had nothing
to regret only hitting Goodson's wife,
Who was walking with him at the time
of the shooting. There seems to be an or
ganized gang of these white Caps"
in town. "A few mornings ago, a col.
ored man on walking out Of his house,
found small coffin on his doorsteps in
which was an anonymous warning, to
eibher leave the town within ten days
or go to the cemetery and select spot
in which he would like to be inferred.
They mentioned the shooting Of Horace
and said others would share the same
fate unless they would abide by their
instructions. Public feeling is running
high, and if the right parties are cap
tured, they will suffer the penalty which
they so justly deserve.
An epidemic of grippe is raging in this
section. 1t seems to be more fatal than
usual. In one family, the father and
mother died in the same week and the
remainder OF the family are now pros
trated with the disease.
The news Of Pritchard's election was
not surprising to our citizens. A great
many seem to think it best after all, as
they believe it means the downfall Of
Populism in North Carolina.
