FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Believed Favorable Report Will be
Made on the Morgan Bill.

The Senate Committee on Foreign
relations did not consider the Hawaii
an treaty at it's meeting on the Sth,
as expected, the friends of The meas
ure believing that there was greater
strength for annexation if more time
was given to the preliminary consid-
GRAFTON of the matter. The belief con-
tinues strong however that there will
be a favorable report of the Morgan
bill, and the next step will be hard
one, for the debate will not end spec
dily.
Both sides desire open sessions.
Senator Foraker of the Foreign Reia-
tions Committee said that he
favored the passage of the bill for
the reason that it would offer an OPP
portunity to show up the sugar trust,
which alone opposed the measure and
had a strong lobby here to fight it..
Meanwhile the agents of the trust say
they are sure if the full meaning of
annexation is exposed the people will
soon show that they do not want an
neXation.

GARDEN SPOT OF THE STATE.

That's What Mr.. r. A. White, of Per-
humans. says of the Albemarle Sec
ton.
Mr. E. A. White, collector of Internal
Revenue of this district under Harrison,
is in the city. He says that the cotton
and corn crop of his section are fine. but
the farmers are blue over the failure of
the rice crop and the low price of cotton.
Mr. White believes the Albemarle sec
ton is the best portion of North Caro-
lima. and the garden spot of the world.
There is no doubt, in his opinion, that
when the people of the world come to
know Of the fertility of Eastern North
Carolina it will be a favorite home for
settlers They have been kept away all
these years by fear of malaria, but now
that the people are using driven wells
and driving chills into the ocean, the
East is destined to blossom as the rose.
Asked Ms to the good effect of driven
we'll. Mr.. White said:
Il have a driven well thirty-two feet
deep. and since ! have had ii there has
not been one chill in my family. 1t
gives excellent water. The health Of
the town of Hartford has improved fifty
per cent since The general use of water
from driven wells"
What do these driven wells costY'
asked Mr.. White.
1T cost me only $3.50 to buy driven
well. and it cost $3.50 or $500 to put It
in. | tell my neighbors that they would
save. enough money on quinine to pay
the cost Of well in very short time"
The completion of the Dismal Swamp
canal will. Mr.. White thinks, make
Elizabeth City one of the first towns in
size and Importance in the State. He
says it has grown very rapidly in the
past few years, having doubled its popu-
lati0n.

day morning, again caught last night,
never having been completely extinguish-

age was done by the fire.
A danger signal has been placed at the
scence of the fire since there is danger

insured, and he says that he had thought
several times recently of insuring the

recommendation of friend whom 10
had cured OF fearful case of insomnia,
and whose wife, understand, was first
relieved of a long-troubled rheumatism
by the same remedy"
Work is necessary to a healthy hedy
and brain; but when it runs through the
same grooves through the twelve months,
year in and year out, the effect is as
disastrous as a fire in a bundle OF wood.
When the nervous system is tagged
out none of the organs Of the body do
their duty; the purifying, excretory Or
gans do not thoroughly cleanse the blood
and the digestive and assimilative organs
keep the nerves badly nourished.
1ne tired system needs help. here
is where Paine's celery compound ae-
complshes it's wonderful work. The
radical purifying of the blood and the
rapid feeding of the nerves by this great
remedy prevents the development Of
diseases that often lurk unrecognized N
the system.
Every one who has taken Palne's
celery compound has noticed and re-
marked to others its wonderful strength
ening effect upon the entire nervous or
ganization and its cleansing action on
the vitiated blood. 1t cures the body Of
that nervous habit, eradicates headache,
cures insomnia and wasting diseases,
and quickly drives out the poisonous
humors that cause the aches and pains
of rheumatism and neuralgia. Bor
building up the body against general de-
bility, poor appetite and the tired lifeless
feelings that accompany a low nervous
tone, Paine's celery compound is beyond
all question the surest, most responsible
remedy any one can use.
An ailing habit, with frequent bodily
pains over the seat OF such vital organs
as the heart, brain or kidneys is serious
and urgent. The descent to fatal disease
is easy, whenever the body becomes
run down" Build up the strength
and resistance of the nervous and diges-
tive systems with Paine's celery COM
pound, get rid Of unhealthy conditions OF
these organs, and get out OF danger.

DIR OLDEST SUBSCRIBER.
DR.. r. w. Thomas, of Thomasville, is
Praying to Live to See Bryan lnau-
grated in 1900.

DR.. r. w. Thomas, of Thomasvilie, is
Praying to Live to See Bryan Ihau-
grated in 1900.
Among the visitors to the Fair yester-
day | was glad to meet DR.. IL. w.
Thomas, of Thomasville, the Oldest Nv
ing subscriber of the News and Observer.
He has taken the paper consecutiveiy
without missing an issue since It's com
mencement, and is a subscriber -nlgniy
valued. DIR. Thomas has practiceo
medicine without interruption for more
than forty-eight years, and though now
over seventy-four years of age, continues
in the active practice, going into the
country at night to visit his patients
as he did in his young manhood. lie
is as alert active and vigorous In mind
and body as he was twenty-five years
ago. In all his life he has not tasted
LIQUOR or given himself up to any ex-
cesses. and he attributes his strength to
his temperate habits, and tells the young
men about him that long life can come
to them only through taking care of
themselves.
Or. Thomas was an old line Wing be-
fore the war, but has been an unterrlhed
Democrat since the party of Clay and
Webster passed out of existence. lie
takes a deep interest in politics and says
he prays to live till 1900 so he can see
Bryan inaugurated as President. He
is an ardent and intelligent bi-metallist,
and SAYS that this talk of ignoring the
silver issue means utter defeat to the
party. "1'he white man and the white
metal cannot be separated any more
than you could separate the Simese
Twins. To separate them is to let the
party fail by loss of blood. Besides the
people wouldn't submit to it, and each
issue helps the other.
II read after Bryan closely. He is the
greatest man Of his day. They preach
his funeral every week, the trains he
travels on have accidents, platforms on
which he is speaking tumble and fall,
but he is in no danger. He will be
preserved by Providence for the great
work the Almighty has for him to do
the government of this country. The
hope of the country is in him to break up
the power of money to control and to re-
store bi-metallism. l believe sincerely
that God Is behind him and will protect
him."
Dr. Thomas was for years Director
of the North Carolina Railroad, and is
still large stakeholder. He believes
it is the finest railroad property in the
South Whatever difference of opinion"
he said. there may be about the lease,
/ am glad that the road has not fallen
into the hands of this administration that
shows it cannot attend TO any public
business properly or conduct any public
institution without scandal"

An Outrage on the Citizens of Rocky
Mount
(Rocky Mount Argonaut.)

We had hoped against hope that oul
colored postmaster when better acquaint-
ed with the duties of the office would
conduct it in more business-like man
ner, but instead of getting better, it
seems to be getting worse every day,
and is now in such a shape that the
people of Rocky Mount cannot depend
upon getting their mail, or having their
letters posted here reach their destina-
ton. We continually receive complaints
from our subscribers that they have
not received a single copy Of the paper
since Targets advent into the post
office Why this should be we can read
ily perceive, as we seldom get mali
without finding in the box letters ana
papers addressed to other parties. Take
this morning for instance, in sorting over
our mail we found mail for Mrs. G. Il.
Dixon. G. w. Robbins and Motor. This
shows the grossest carelessness.

Charles E. Osgood, of Boston, the
owner Of the largest and most successful
furniture business in New England, if
not in the country, was one OF the few
large buyers among furniture dealers
during the hard times Of last year, who
did a great business, always paying
cash, moving on as if times were good,
while rival concerns were going to pieces
right and left all about. His credit from
Michigan to Maine became so conspicu-
ously "solid" that he was one of the
most talked of young men in commercial
circles.
With limited means, but we'll bred,
full of character, straightforward, and
well-educated, he started in business
only a few years ago in a very moderate
way in a little store on fremont street
in Boston. The city began to know him
quickly. His business rapidly assumed
big proportions. A newspaper one day
interviewed him in the column Of "Men
Worth Knowing"
'To what do you attribute your sue
cess" asked the interviewer.
Mr.. Osgood replied very shortly:
when In doubt, buy the best goods"
He is known everywhere to-day by
that expression.
Work told on Mr.. Osgood's health.
With characteristic Judgment he put his
reliance upon natures best remedy to
make him well again. The best OF med
ical treatment was at his disposal; there
certainly was no physician that a man in
his position could not employ. He got
the right advice, and followed it. To-
day he is perfectly well, good-tempered,
aggressive and energetic to the last de-
gree.
In letter TO the propr1cr"rs Of Teine's
celery compound written Sept. %, 1897,
Mr. Osgood said:
II have derived great benefit from the
use OF Paine's celery compound, and can
unhesitatingly recommend it for build
ing up the system when 'srun down"
and tired out with worry or work. first
used this really great remedy on the
