on Permanent Basis.

AT the meeting of the Board of Alder
men tonight the Finance committee will
present the following report, which is OF
great Importance and interest to all the
people of Raleigh, giving, as it does, the
condition of the city's finances for the
past year:
"The Honorable Board of Aldermen OF
the City of Raleigh;
Your Finance committee beg to sub
NIT herewith their annual report show
ing receipts and disbursements in the va
rous departments of the city for the
fiscal year ending March /, 1898, ana
beg to call your special attention to the
detailed statement hereto attached made
up with great accuracy and care by our
efficient clerk. The total receipts of the
city for the year amount to S74, 413.26,
and disbursements So, S27.27, of which
amount $16,327.60 was paid into the
sinking fund, leaving net balance for the
expense of the city $66, 1866.
I'VE beg to call your attention to the
fact that we have now gotten the fin
ances of the city divided into proper de-
partments so that we can tell at the en0
of any year or at the end of any month
exactly how much has been spent by
each department during any year or
during any month of the year.
I'VE beg to cali your attention further
to the fact that we have been able to re-
fund $27.3j0 of the city 6 per cent debt,
and to issue instead Thereof $4,000 of >
per cent bonds having secured therefor
a premium of S2,362.50. We have during
the year issued $4,000 of permanent
street Improvement bonds for which we
obtained Il premium of $4,666.5S. The
sale of these bonds was very gratifying,
as they sold for higher premium than
any per cent Southern city bonds were
ever sold within our knowledge. And
we beg to express our grateful apprecia-
ton of the faithful service of our excel
lent city treasurer.
I'VE call attention to a detailed state
ment of the expenses of the various de-
partments of the city.

The presence Of 1000 soldiers in camp
at Raleigh will add great interest to the

friends from their home towns will take
advantage of the Memorial Day ceIc-
bration and the low rates. to come TO
see how the soldiers are faring in their
days of preparation for war. The peo-
pie in all the towns from which com

camp. Their mothers, Sisters, wives and
sweethearts win come along, too, and
it will be a notable day in the history of

OF the expenses of the fire depart
ment $3,222.27 were for permanent inn
provements. OF the money realized from
the sale of the street improvement bonds
we have spent $10,056.06 upon perman-
ent street improvements. OF this
amount SAITH has been spent at the
rock quarry.
The amount of the outstanding war
rants ut the end of each fiscal year has
increased from time to time beginning
long before this board came into office
until now they had reached the sum
of SIG, 4J0.22, and as your committee
was opposed to increasing the taxes TO
meet this increased expense of the city,
we concluded to adopt an economical
measure and secure Il loan of $4,000
payable $1,000 per annum with interest
ut tire rate of > per cent, and thus take
up our outstanding warrants upon which
we are now paying per cent interest
and at the same time curtall the eX-
penses of the city so as to include i'll the
estimate of the expenses for the coming
years an item of $1,000 to provide for
meeting this loan. We have, therefore,
placed our floating debt in Il permanent
shape and at per cent interest instead
of per cent. The Mayor of the city
and the city clerk have been forbidden
to issue warrant for the city in excess
of the apportiOnment to each depart
ment of the city as made UP in an esti-
mate which has been adopted by your
board.
1--WE think. therefore with the many
improvements which have been made i'm
the city and the increase of values and
the new assessment which is to be made
in 1899. the city will be able y meet
it's expenses and pay off this fIoatinl
debt without having to increase its
taxation at all, which we think is re-
markabe showing, considering the great
sums which have been spent in perman-
ent improvements, though we had NO
funds in hand for that purpose until
the recent issue of the permanent street
Improvement bonds, and we have on
hand now of that sum $45, 34401.
I'VE think the placing of n temporary
five year loan of $4,000 at ) per cent
in the midst of the Spanish American
war. when there is such hesitancy in
financial circles. is a high compliment
to the financial standing of the city and
to the administration. And in this mat
ter we are placed under additional obi
CATION to our worthy city treasurer.

ment of the faithful services of the eff
ficient city clerk who is also clerk of

ing with the intense fires of national
patriotism They fought for principle.
They fought, and they fought CALAMITY.
The arbitrament of the sword was chos-

words of General Grant, Let us have

81 am surprised at such outrageous
conduct" said the Adjutant General, as
he finished debating the telegram. Il
am surprised that somebody has not
gone into the office and torn the objec-
tionable placard down and trampled it
under foot and kicked FOUGHT out Of
town. That such was not done shows
that Winston and Salem people have
wonderful self-possession and forebear-
ance. Mr.. FOUGHT is extremely lucky.
If such a thing had happened at my
home Statesvlle, he would certainly
have Jared badly. Such things as this
will not be tolerated in North Carolina"

Dispatches from Washington and in

that the men will not be allowed to re-

Captain Gresham, the mastering. Off

have been ordered to push forward the
work of examination and enlistment Of
the men in the United States service as
RAPIDLY as possible The War Depart
mcnt is planning to concentrate the Vol

RAPIDLY as the men can be mustered into
actual service and thus get the COM
mandS as quickly as possible out of their
own States, where they are subjected to
dem0ralizing influences both political and
domestic.
1t is considered essential to put the
volunteers under practical military dis
ciplinc, unqualified by home influences,
TO develop them speedily into an effective
army corps. General Miles is quoted
as saying that raw recruits may be relied
upon to give tolerably good account Of
themselves behind brcastwOrkS or on the
defensive generally, but for an aggres-
Sve campaign such as now contemplated
two or three months of preparation is i'm
perativcIy essential for both officers and
men of every grade from the brigadier
general down to the private.
The great points of volunteer cOncen-
tration are now being selected, and it is
likely that in addition to Chickamauga
Park an army corps will rendezvous near
Atlanta, another in the mountainous
country of eastern Tennessee, and Il
third in Alabama. The idea of MOBILIZE
ing large number of troops at Rich
mond seems to have about been aban-
dOned. The North Carolina troops will
probably be sent either to Chickamauga
or to Atlanta. Hard marching and field
evolution will be undertaken at these
rendezvous as soon as the regiments
composing the armies have become in Il
measure familiar with the realities of
soldier life.

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of Indigestion.
They are in Tablet form which retains
their good qualities indefinitely, while
liquid preparations become stale and use
less with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
i'm the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling with
the food. they constitute n perfect di-
gestive. absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment, thus preventing the forma-
ton of gas and keeping the blood pure
and free from the poisonous products OF
fermented half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else
