Raleigh Press-Visitor: Gov
ernor Russell has not been in Office
lutte month, said well known
republican this morning, "but
during his short administration he
has appointed two democrats, one
republican and one lady to Office.
We never thought our Dan would
come to this.
The hunger Of the pie hunters is
becoming intense. The 10th Of
February is nearly here and no
democrats have been turned out
yet. The demand for immediate
action on the part Of the combina-
ton is heard on every corner.
Dozens of the bread and butter
brigade have been hanging out at
different '.joints" in the city since
the legislature convened in the
hope Of obtaining reward. These
people have nearly lost patience.

Rheumatism.

Is going down dailv ii tn, battle
with its only formidable enemy
RHEUMACIDE-the great consti-
tutional cure. The percentage of
cures is extraordinary.
The doctors, ever ready to recog
nize merit in new discoveries. are
now prescribing RHEUMACIDT.
A prominent physician in Charlotte,
N. c.. has adopted this remedy In
his practice and prescribes nothing
else for rheumatism. Other we'll
known physicians are doing Il
same. CT course they have beer
given enough of the formula to ena-
Bile them to decide that it is all that
the proprietor Gains, and that it
a scientific compound, for doctors
are the last people to prescribe
remedy manufactured b. irrespoi
sible firms, and without knowing
something of the ingredients.

the general public may expect at an early
date. to learn something of an official ma
ture regarding the young magnate's inten-
lions with reference to building towards
Houston and the gulf of Mexico. Notwith-
standing that he has denied, in terms em-
phatic, that he has purchased or even ne
gotiated for controlling interest OF The
houston and Texas Central, the story still
goes the rounds, in the face OF that, and
the denial of the roaG's officials both in
Houston and New Orleans
1t has been said upon good authority that
MIR. Green intended to extend the Midland
route from Ennis to Waco, and from the
course of his conversation with various
railroad men OF the state he has left the
inference that a continuation of the line 10
this part OF the country would be the ultl
mate result. The Midland will be built to
Dallas from Qulnlan. Texas about twenty
miles south Of Greouville, a, soon as the
