WiRENCHED AND RACKED.

Ry the pangs OF rheumatism, the joints
eventually become grievously distorted,
and sometimes assume an almost grotes-
que deformity. To prevent such results
by a simple and agreeable means is GER
tainly the part of wisdom. A tendency
TO rheumatic ailments may be successful
" combatted with Hostetter's Stomach
Ritters. a medicine with the prestige Of
a long and successful career, of unbound
ed popularity, and of emphatic profess
sional endorsement. 1t removes from the
blood those infammatory impurities
which Psychologists assign as the cause
of rheumatism, and not only purifies the
life current, but enriches it, promoting
vigor by fertil;zing its source. Diges-
ton, the action of the bowels and the
secretion Of the bile, are aided by it,
and it impels the kidneys and bladder
TO a regular and active performance OF
their functions. 1t is besides a thor
oughly reliable remedy for, and means
Of preventing, periodic fevers.

JUDGE ADAMS UPHOLDS TIL.
LAW.

The decision of Judge Adams that the
revolutionary legislation repeating the
charters of the insane asylums is illegal
and unconstitutional will be heard with
pleasure throughout the State. 1t is
gratifying that this young Republican
Judge has not permitted his decision to
be affected by the partisan clamor of
those pie hunters from whose greed not
even the insane can escape.
The case will be argued without de-
lay in the Supreme court, and there is
every reason to believe that the decision
Of Judge Adams will be affirmed Such
an ending to the litigation will cause the
people to rejoice that the most baneful
and revolutionary proceedings Of the pie
hunters failed, and the care Of the in
sane is not to be turned over to political
practitioners.

ONOD A TAR HEEL, ALWAYS A
TAR HEEL.

We published yesterday extracts from
an address made by DR.. j. w. Long
| upon the occasion of his retirement from
| the faculty of the Virginia Medical Col
| lege. 1t will crafty the people of North
Carolina to know that in surrendering his
lucrative practice and honorable position
| in Richmond, DR.. Long will return to this
State for the purpose of establishing a
hospital at High Point and engaging in q
general surgery practice throughout the
State. DR.. Long is easily among the first
men in his profession and he Will be
warmly welcomed and encouraged in the
enterprise he has in hand. There is need
for such a hospital in North Carolina as
DR.. Long proposes to establish.
Richmond, we desire to give emphasis
to the following utterance which shows
his devotion to his State:
'Innumerable friends have asked:
What are you going to leave Richmond
for? To tell the truth, / have no good
reason, except it be the fact that no man
ever left North Carolina, no matter how
we'll he succeeded, that he did not seize
the first opportunity to return to the
Old North State.
'The reason the Chinese can never
make good American citizens is not be-
cause they wear pig-tails and eat their
rice with chop-sticks, but because their
every thought, both waking and sleeping,
is to accumulate money enough to take
them back to the Flowery Kingdom, and
you might as well try to down Banquo's
ghost as to try to get Chinaman's
consent to be buried elsewhere than in
his native soil. 1t is but another illus
tration of the homely adage that Chick
ems go home to roost.'
"But, seriously. 1 feel that with my
enlarged experience, there is a wide field
for usefulness and an opportunity for me
to do much good in the State which gave
me birth. With thoroughly equipped
hospital and well-trained staff, shall
continue the same character of surgical
work which has been so pleasant to me
here"
Dr. Long is not the first man who has
surrendered larger opportunities abroad
to return home to labor, to live and
to die among his own people. There are
no skies so blue, no climate so delight
full, and no people so dear to a true son
of North Carolina as can be found in the
State Of his birth. We think that North
Carolinians have more attachment to the
apron-strings Of the old mother State
than people in more thickly populated
CONFERENCE.-The where the population is
less homogeneous. The words and re-
turn of DIR. Long afford new proof of
ed So true is this that "once a tar-heel,
always a tar-heep' has become automatic.

Durham, N. c., April 16.--(SpeciaD-
There was a bread contest in Durham
yesterday. Mr.. w. III. Proctor had of
fered three prizes to the ladies making
the three best loaves of bread to be
made from Pillsbury -four. The prizes
were $3.50, 500 and $500, in gold
The judges were Mrs. w. A. Slater, Mrs.
s. G. Anderson and Mrs. w. l.. Wall.
The loaves were all numbered and the
judges had no idea who the contestants
were. The first prize was won by Mrs.
w. Fl. McCabe, the second by Mrs.
Frank Howard and the third by Mrs.
Jno. N. Cole. The contest and the dis
play of the bread gave abundant proof
that in the hurry and hustle of Durham
life the ladies are pre-eminent in one of
the most essentials, the art culinary.
Trinity College has received another
gift that in magnitude does not rival
some other donations that have been
made, yet it will be far reaching in re-

in English has been ably filed by DR..
Few, who by his wonderful fitness and
superior aptness has greatly endeared
himself to everybody in connection with
the college and college work. In the
nick of time a broadminded, big hearted,
christian philanthropist comes upon the
scene and endows an additional chair in
English so that another year this great
work can and will be greatly amplifed by
the services of Prof. Minis and DR.. Few.
Trinity is destined to be the most largely
endowed and best equipped college in the
South.
