The BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five yeats his
wife has been a aufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
slclan he went to the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly in an hours time was able to
go to go to sleep. She now applies 1t
whenever she tuls feels an ache or pain
and finds that 1t always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. Fair

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kllmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part OF the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scaiding pain in passing 1t, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest tor its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention The Con-
MoNwEALAH and send your address to

Mr.. Foster had no doubt that Japan was
equally ready to cooperate with the Uni

Speaking Of Hawaii, Mr.. Foster said:
we learned the sentiments of Russia
and France during our visit to st. Peters
burg and Paris. They wont object to
annexation and regard it as natural and
inevitable. l do not believe Great Britain
will object. The European governments
may not like it but they are reconciled to
it. The annexation of Hawaii would not
presage the annexation of Cuba. The
cases of the two islands are entirely dis
similar Hawaii is settled in large part
by Americans and the United States has
obligations to fulfill there, whereas Cuba

Winston, n. c.. July 6.-(Special.)- J.
Deputy Sheriff Davis arrived here last
night with Luke Richardson, the negro
who attempted to make an assault upon
Miss Seifert, in Greensboro, Sunday af-
ternoon. The brute was brought here for
safekeeping. There was some talk of
lynching in Greensboro and the sheriff
deemed it advisable to take him away.
Richardson is about 40 years old and
has a wife. He is of medium size. He
served on the Guilford county roads last
spring for slapping his wife. He denies
the charge against him, but at the trial
before the Mayor in Greensboro last
evening, he failed to prove where he
was when the attempted assault was
made. Miss Seifert, who is 1S years old
and quite pretty, is confident that Rich
ardson is the guilty party.
The County Commissioners this after
noon passed an order authorizing the
sheriff to employ sufficient guards to
protect the Jail and for the safekeeping
Of Luke Richardson, who was brought
here, from Greensboro, last night Sheriff
kapp received telegram from Green's
boro this afternoon stating that he need
have no fears about party coming here
to lynch Richardson.

Evening Lectures by Prof. Gore and
DR.. Battle-Reception by the d. X. L.
Fraternity.
Chapel Hill, n. c.. July 6.-(SpeciaD-
Prof. Gore, of the Deartment of Physics
in the University, lectured on Monday
evening. His subject was, Thine and
its Reckoning" The lecture discussed
the causes of the variability of the appa-
rent solar day; the necessity OF using
mean solar time; the difference between
mean solar day and siderial day; equa-
ton of time; systems of standard time;
the lunar month, it's length; the part this
period has played i'll counting time espe-
clally i'll religious observances. The
Hebrew calendar has for its basis the
lunar month, hte years differ in length,
the beginning of the year fixed so as to
make the passover fall on the full moon
| of the vernal equinox.
The Mohammedan calendar makes
twelve lunar months a year, making their
year little more than II days shorter
than the tropical year. The civil calen-
dar of all the Christian countries uses
the mean solar day and tropical year.
The Julian calendar, fixing the year at
365H days, originated 46 B. c., the
twelve calendar months were also adopt
ed at that time. The Julian year is a
lite too long about three days in 400
years.
The Gregorian calendar was an i'm
provement on the Julian. Russia is the
only Christian country now using the
Julian, their count being twelve days be-
hind our.
Dr. Battle lectured yesterday evening
on the early history Of the University.
| His lecture was thoroughly enjoyed
The teachers were anxious to know
something of the early history Of the
| University. DR.. Battle called the atten-
| ton of his audience to the wisdom OF
our ancestors when they made the Con-
stitution in 1776, in the darkest hours of
the Revolution in that they provided for
the interests of the rising generation
and unborn children. They knew that
money spent for schools would be wasted
without teachers, and hence provided
| University where they could be repaired.
The character of William r. Davie was
then portrayed and the interesting fact
was stated that it was his action which
carried North Carolina in the vote for the
compromise between the large and the
small States, and thus saved the Consti-
tuition. He was rightly styled the Fa-
ther of the University. The endowment
of the University was described, mainly
escheated land warrants in Tennessee,
