Papa goes out in the yard, takes a

laboriously with it up the back stairs

SHUTTLE hole when he is arrested by an
other command: Here, take this bag
of salt and pour it down the fiue if
it's on fire." He goes back, takes the
salt climbs the ladder, gets on the roof,
pulls the ladder up after him and
places it against the chimney. A po-

Grand Trunk, which was steadily sold
by weak bulls and by some bears. 1t
is believed that when the present weak
holders are cleared out a sharp reac-
tion may follow.
At present the weakness in Grand
Trunk is assisted by the dullness in
Americans which were absolutely ne
elected to-day. The weakness in
Grand Trunk is not surprising, con-
sidering the falling off in traffic re-
turns and the continuance Of the rate

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-12-15

Governor Andy Lee, the Populist
Governor of South Dakota, who
has just been re elected, has made
a strong and determined fight to
uphold the railroad commission
and secure a reduction of freight
and passenger rates in his state.
Of course his strong and patriotic
fight on justice and good govern
ment has set all of the monopoly
organs of his state like the Char
lottee Observer of this state to
bowling at his heels. They never
speak of him even in a respectful
manner. They never deal with
argument in attempting to reply
to him but always in abuse and at
tempted ridlcule. The following
is clipped from one of these mon
opoly editorials: candy Lee ought
be put in a cannon loaded with
Skunk oil and shot head first into
the Missouri River" This is such
an elegant piece Of monopoly edi-
torial logic that the Charlotte Oh
server will no doubt be green with
envy that it was not the author
of it.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-12-15
TO OBSERVE A TOTAL
ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

There will be total eclipse of
the sun in May, 1900, and the su-
perintendent of the Naval Obser-
vatory wants an appropriation
from Congress of S., 900 in order
that it may be properly observed
by scientists.
''The eclipse, Capt. Davis says,
sis visible at Washington only as
a partial eclipse. The path of to-
tai eclipse passes through New
Oyleans, La; Mobile. Ala. Raj
Fdgh, N. c., and Norfolk, Va. It
would be necessary to select OBJ
serving stations at several points
on this line, to which stations
properly equipped parties from
This observatory would be as
signed"
Foreign parties will be in this
country to observe the eclipse,
and the superintendent of the OBJ
servatory is anxious that this
country may not be behindhand
in such work.

1T seems now that the "Jim
Grow" cars was the only kind of
white supremacy that the demo
cratic machine was clamOring for.
The Caucasian last week called at
tention to the strange fact that as
soon as the negro scarecrow cam
paign had closed the democratic
machine at once brought forward
its great remedy to cure negro dom
inatiOn. This remedy, strange to
say, was the establishment Of the
''Jim Grow" cars. We also called
attention to the fact that for TWEEN
ty years under Democratic rule it
never occurred to the Democratic
machine that "Jim Crow cars were
necessary; but having run cam
paign exclusively on the cry Of ne
gro domination, it was of course
necessary to do something to keel
the people fooled. So it was neces
sary to raise some new sham issue
of legislation. We also called at
tention to the fact that as soon as
the democratic machine began to
advocate the Jim Grow" cars that
the same railroad overseers and
bosses who had backed the Demo
cratic party with their money and
influence at once began to give in
terviews opposing the "Jim Crow
cars. We stated it as our opinion
that this was all an understanding
between the Democratic machine and
the railroad bosses. The railroads
knew that it was necessary to d.
something to fool the people and Sc
they had an understanding with the
Democratic machine that it was tt
advocate Jim Grow" cars and the
railroads were to seem to oppose
them in order to make the people
think that the railroad bosses did
not own the Democratic machine
and also further to make the people
think when the next legislature
adopted the '.Jim Grow" cars Gas il
willy that it was a triumph of the
people in spite of railroad opposition
We believed then we were stat.
ing the exact truth about the sit.
uation, and we believe it now. In
fact, only few days ago the Caucas.
ian was informed that the railroad
officials had no serious objections to
the establishment of the "Jim Crow
cars and would rather have that
done than any other legislation that
could possibly be put up that would
satisfy the people on the railroad
question. Let the people take note
of these things; keep their eyes and
ears open and watch.

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads TO
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing q
feeling of personal defiIement, and
gets deeper and deeper untilit is
only question of short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, a. such treatment
never did cure CatarEh, and never
will.

THE SOUTHLAND IS SNOW BOUND.
Freezing Weather Where There Should
be Summer Weather and Orange
Blossoms.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 9.-The
weather throughout this State, Mis-
sisiippi, and North and Central Tex
as, is the worst experienced in De-
cember for many years. Snow to the
depth Of several inches covers the
ground.
Dallas, Texas, says: "The snow
storm, which began at noon yester
day, continued until noon to day.
There are now four inches OIL the
ground. Similar conditions exist
from Marshall to Ell Paso and from
the Red river to the Gulf. The cat
tie ranges are in bad condition in
Southwest Texas, because of a
drought during the summer, and the
losses to the stockmen will be quite
heavy.
