all medical treatment that money

edies he could hear of, but got no
relief; spent many nights sitting up
in a chair; was induced to try DR..
Kings New Discovery, and was cured
by use of two bottles. For past three

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the announcement Of Fred
Heilman as a Democratic candidate
for the office of county commissioner.
We suggested to Fred. when he
brought US this notice for publication
that the REGISTER was not exactly
an othOdOx Democratic paper, but he
said he wanted to let every body know
that he was a candidate. That settled
it. The intimatiOn that the only way
to serve notice on everybody was to
put that notice in the REGISTER,
was fiattery too delicate to be resisted
to say nothing Of the regulation fee
so the notice goes in. And we
particularly commend Mr.. Heilman to
the Democrats of Allen county as the
first Democrat for more than ten years
who has had the courage to announce
his candidacy for an Office in Allen
county. If it is nerve you are hunting
for there it is.

night was most enjoyable affair.
A number of speeches were made
both by members and citizens.
The committee adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
We, the committee Of members Of
the Senate and House of Represen-
tatiyes of the Senate of North Caro-
lima, invited to visit and inspect the
roads of Mecklenburg county, hav-
ing performed this duty, find,
First, That the county which led
the State and the Union, in the
struggle for freedom from British
rule, has also led the State and the
South in the grand movement for
road improvements.
Second, That the wonderful
growth in prosperity, the increase in
value of farming lands and the
greater employment of labor at re-
munerative prices, instead of starva-
ton wages, is in a great measure
due to the better facilities for trans.
portation. Now, therefore, be it,
Resolved, First, That we are con-
vinced that next to educational fa-
cilities the greatest factors in the
upbuilding of our State will be the
improvement of our public high
ways, and through this means the
abolition of the five-million dollar
tax which our present bad roads i'm
pose annually upon the people of this
State.
Second, That Mecklenburg coun-
ty has the best roads and best sys-
tenn of working roads in the State,
and,
Third, If there is more kindly,
genial and hospitable people than
| the inhabitants of the "Hornets'
Nest" they have never crossed our
path, and,
Fourth, That we extend our
thanks to the citizens of Charlotte
for their thoughtful kindness in
providing for our comfort and pleas
ure while in their midst, and to the
State Good Roads League for the
kindness shown us while en- route
through its secretary.

TREATY WILL GO OVER.
The treaty of arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain
was not taken up today. 1t will be
taken up in the Senate again tomor-

will probably be simply to announce
that further consideration will be
postponed until the next session of
Congress
1t was Senator Sherman's wish,
and also the desire of Secretary Olney
and the Cleveland administration,
that the treaty be ratified at this sest
sion Of Congress, but the Senate de-
cided to leave the treaty for the new
administration to deal with.
The immigration bill will probably
become a law at this session of Con-
gress. 1t has been realized for some
years that something must be done
to regulate immigration.

To Adopt English Methods.

A pitiful story for the ear of mill
workers is that told by United States
Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, in
the course of report to the State
Department upon the struggle for
supremacy of the German weavers.
He says that seeking the reason for
the loss to England of American
snd other markets for textiles, the
German manufacturers believe they
have found it in the fact that in
England a mill hand tends two
looms, while IN Germany he tends
but one. Hence the word has gone
out that the English practice is to
prevail in Germany. The mill hands
are in despair.-Washington Post.
