ant Commander Morton and $50 others
Of the reserves were mustered in ac-
ing in the state militia, but that the
new call appear to ignore the state
commissions and ratings. and TO put
the standing Of all according TO the
rating Of the navy board. The adju-
tant general says: 1T appears to me
unjust, in view Of the fact hat the
navy department took part of the re-
serves under a different system"
The adjutant general is now apply
ing himself to the organization Of COM
panies in the various towns from
whence companies of the state guard
have volunteered. He says: "A COM
pany will be reorganized at Charlotte
and one at Winston: there are two
applications from Shelby; commits

from GreeneVille as to organizations;

missioned as captain; Greensboro will
be given a company, as it is a good
point. In other words. I propose to
give the towns and cities and the state
generally good protection"
Nothing whatever will be done as to
raising the seven companies to make
the negro regiment, until the First
and Second regiments are filled to
1850 each. The Second regiment has
in four days received yer ITS recruits.
These are sworn in by Colonel Bur-
gwyn. The recruiting parties Of the
First regiment, now in the state, are
very anxious to quickly get the 3S5 re-
cruits it requires.
Army officers say that if the war
ended eve now, there would be re-
Quired at least $50, 900 men to garrison
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The impression here in official circles
is that the regular army will be kept
up to something like 200, 900 men in the
future.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr ST., Men,
phis, Tenn, says that his wife paid no at
tention to a small lump which appeared in
her breast, but it soon developed into a
cancer of the worst type, and notwith-
standing the treatment of the best physi-
clans, it continued to spread and grow
rapidly, eating two holes in her breast.
The doctors soon pronounced her incurable.
A celebrated New York specialist then
treated her, but she continued to grow
worse and when informed that both her
aunt and grandmother had died from can
c>r, he gave the case up as hopeless.
Some one then recommended S. S. Sand
though little hope remained, she begun it,
and an Improvement was Noticed. The can
Ger commenced to heal, and when she had
taken seven bottles it disappeared entirely,
and although several years have elapsed
not a sign of the disease has ever returned.

Mr.. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes: "About three years
ago, there came under my left eye a little
blotch about the size of a small pea. It
grew rapidly, and shooting pains ran in
every direction. I became alarmed and
consulted a good doctor, who pronounced
it cancer, and aid that it must be cut out.
This I would not consent to, having little
faith in the in~discriminate use of the knife.
Reading of the many cures made by s. s..
S., 1 determined to give that medicine a
trial, and after I had aiken it a few days,
the cancer became ;rritated and began to
discharge. rms after awhile ceased, leav-
ing a small scab, which finally dropped
off, and only a healthy little scar remains
to mark the place where the destroyer had
held full sway.

The Tucson Star correctly re-

for some people, who after writing
half dozen articles for newspa-

idea that they are journalists, and
start paper on their own hook,
only to learn that it don't take long
to run shallow well dry, and to
load it with dynamite generally
drives the bottom out of the well,
leaving its victim in state of

A commission composed wholly
of men favorable to the single gold
standard have been investigating
the monetary conditions of India.
Their report foreshadows the open
ing of the Indian minis to the free
coinage of silver at ratio of % to
1. This important concession of
the English gold advocates to silver
will have an important bearing on
this question in the United States
and with the opening of the mints
which will be before January LIST,
1898. Silver will be quoted in the
market at one dollar per ounce.
The commerce of India demands a
fixed ratio between the two metals
and the demand will have to be
complied with.
