ing this year the services Of one Of the
most thoroughly trained experts and
full equipment of the most expensive
and accurate instruments can be secured
free of charge except sufficient amount
to cover the actual travelling expenses
and other incidental expenses. 1t is es-
timated that the work can be done dur
ing this year in about fifty counties.
THE STATE WILL AID BE COUNTIES MAX
This matter of a magnetic survey,
while of Importance to the state atlarge,
yet is chiefly a matter of concern to the
several counties that have largely the
control of the surveying, and it is in the
several counties that the cost of litiga-
ton and trouble arising from imperfect
~ surveyed boundary lines must usual
ly be borne. Hence it is that in the
several states where this work has been
undertaken it has been the custom of
the counties to bear all the expenses con-
nected with the work. In order to aid
and encourage this work in North Caro-
lima, however, the state has agreed to
cooperate with the several counties to
the extent of bearing one half of the
total expenses incurred in connection
with the determination of the true north
and south line and the erection Of me-
ridian posts to permanently mark this
line near each county seat
A number of counties have already ac-
cepted this proposition. Mr.. J. b. Bay
lor, the expert from the L. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey is already in the state,
and the work has been bugun. 1t is
believed that at the April meeting Of the
Boards of County Commissioners provis-
ion will be made enabling the work to
be undertaken in a number OF additional
counties 1t will hardly be possible to
complete the surveys in more than fifty
counties during the present year. As
far as practicable the work will be taken
up in the order in which the counties &C
cept the proposition. And the cost will
| depend somewhat on whether we go
! from one county to that adjoining it or
| skip from one county to another some
| distance away.
Hereafter we may be able to secure
| neither the government expert nor the
| supply of costly and accurate instru-
ments, and hence if North Carolina is to
keep up with the other portions of the
country in the march of PROCESS, it is
| important that we move in this matter
| at once.
Yours truly,
IA. HOLMES,
State Geologist.

Sickness

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify the blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous aim en- Is
which are so prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating in the blood all
winter, and right now is the time
to get rid of them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fly the system, toning up and
strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now are
comparatively safe all summer;
but to neglect it is to invite some
form of sickness which is so COM
mon during the trying hot season.
It is now that course of Swift's

Our D3ty to Cuba.

Quite regardless of the response
bilitics for the Maine incident, it is
apparently true that the great ma or-
ity of the American people are hoping
that President Mckinley will prompt
ly utilize the occasion to secure the
complete paciiication and indepen-
dence of Cuba. There are few peo-
pie in the United Stases-we should
not like to believe that more than
one hundred could be found out of
population of seventy-tive millions
who believe that the United States
ought to join hands with Spain in
forcing the Cuban insurgents to lay
down their arms and accept Spanish
sovereignty as permanent condi-
ton. under the promise of practical
home rule. 1t needs no argument.
of course, to convince the American
people that such a proposal reaches
the lowest depths of infamy. 1t is
much worse than the proposition
made by a few people in Europe last
year that the victorious Turks should
have the countenance and support of
the great nations of Europe in max
ing Greece part OF the Turkish
empire. For the Turks had fairly
conquered the Greeks: and if Europe
had kept hands off, Greece would
have been reduced very quickly to
the position of an Ottoman province.
But in Cuba it is otherwise. The in
surgents. with no outside help. have
held their own for more than three
years, and Spain is unable to con-
quer them. The people of the United
States do not intend to help Spain
hold Cuba. On the contrary. they
are now ready, in one way or in an
other, to help the Cubans drive Span
out of the Western hemisphere. If
the occasion goes past and we allow
this Cuban struggle to run on indef-
nitely. the American people will have
lost several degrees of self-respect
and will certainly not have gained
anything in the opinion of mankind.

The Outlook Tor Pension Legislation

Chairman Kay of the House Commit
Ice on Invalid Pensions, at Washin$-
ton. reports that there are now be
tween $500 and 26oo private pension
bills awaiting it's consideration.
1t is not probable that any considerable
number OF these bills will be reached
in committee at this session.
y Very large nunber of these bills
are for the relief of worthy old
veterans who through the death of
others, are unable to supply the testi-
mony required by the pension bureau.
and seek relief in this way.
The pension bureau with 561, coo
claims pending is slow enough in
its workings, especially when we re-
fleet that line brave boys in blue
who saved the country in its hour Of
peril, are growing gray" The grim
reaper is annually securing a larger
harvest in their thinning ranks. and
if they do not soon secure the aid that
is due them, they may not live %
secure it at all.
The fact remains, however. that
vastly easier to secure the adjudication
of a pension claim through the pen
sion bureau than it is to run a private
bin through the national House ana
Senate.
