A GREAT ENTERPRISE.
Academy Seniors and Their Teacher
Visit the Yadkin River Plant

Academy Seniors and Their Teacher
Visit the Yadkin River Plant.
Several members of the Senior Glass
Of the Salem Academy accompanied
by their accomplished instructor, Miss
Emma Lehman, and Mr.. III. E. Fries,
visited the harness enterprise" at the
Yadkin river, few days ago.
In the March number of the "Acad-
envy" which appeared Saturday, Miss
Lehman gives an interesting "wrlte-
up" OF their trip and the new enter
prise. Among other things she says:
Nothing that has been attempted
in the whole range of the mechanic
arts has attracted such widespread
attention in our midst, and in the
State at large, as the Harvesting of
the Yadkin river by the Fries Manu-
featuring and Power Company Of
Salem during the present year. The
work was commenced last August, and
| is now about completed.
1T is matter of pride to the whole
| community that this is the first work
| of the kind in our State Indeed, there
| are, as yet. not many in any section of
! the country, though the idea Of utiliz-
ing water power 10 this way is gain
ing ground rapidly. Niagara Falls
are being thus used, and the waves of
the sea may yet be brought under the
control OF man for practical use

State, the first arc lights being used

The first part of the brick building

at a 900 horse power, and, If required

MAGNETIC SURVEY.

A circular has just been issued by
the State Geologist upon the
'.Earth's Magnetism in North Caro-
lina," with view to calling special
attention to the need OF magnetic
survey in the several counties of the
State and to the fact that it may be
secured at this time under unusually
favorable conditions, inasmueh as
aid may be obtained from the United
States Government at a cost only of
travelling and other incidental ex-
penses.
One of the objects for making this
magnetic survey in each county is
to establish the true North anc
South line and to overcome largely
the difficulties experienced by sur
yeyors because of the variations in
the present system. Another object
is to prepare magnetic map of the
State, which cannot be done until

lied on in cases of debility arising from
whatever cause, and TO counterfeit
the strains of unexpected, prolonged
work and excitement. 1t is the only
remedy prepared under the eyes of the
medical profession, aud in strict ac-
cordance with the directions of q
physician of acknowledged ability.
No ordinary help, no well meaning
but unprofessional concoction,
sarsaparila or blood purifier can do
what Palne's celery compound is
able to accomplish: cure men and
women of such serious diseases as
kidney troubles, liver complaints
and dyspepsia, or permanently drive
away-and there's the point that no
sufferer should lose sight of-per>
manently drive out of the system,
rheumatism, neuralgia and all skin
affections.
Nerves and brain can be worked
out. This is the condition of thous~
ands of exhausted nervous systems
that have been almost worked to
death in school, counting rooms,
factories and stores. Shaky nerves,
! tlabbY muscles, muddy compilations
and a geneoal appearance of wears
ness and pain tell the story of ex>
haustion. Persistent headaches go
with nervous debility. That terrible
throbbing of the heart comes from
wretched condition of the nervous
/ system.
The sure way to get back to per,
feet health of body and mind is to
regulate and nourlsh the nerves by
means of Paine's celery compound.
1t is searching cure for all diseases
that Indicate vitiated blood. 1t builds
up the strength and replaces use lrup

Mouths Gaping for Pie.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
The Airo-American voter has been
standing around these many months,
with mouth wide open while gener.
Gus slices of toothsome pie haye been
passed over the counter to the pale
faced contingent, but all that has
been dropped into his capacious
orifice is no more than Lazarus re-
ceived from the rich mans table.
The colored Republican is not only
hungry, but angry. In vain has he
demanded his share of the provender,
insisting tnat he does practically all
the voting, while the white Republi
can monopolizes tine pie eating; but
his demands have been systematical-
~ and persistently ignored. He has
entreated, he has implored, he has
protested, he has threatened; but his
voice has been disregarded and his
mouth remains an aching void.

TRAIN ITO RUN MAY 18TH.
charlottesville Road Will be
Completed by This Time.

Mr.. o A. Gibson, one of the con-
tractors Of the Mooresville and Mocks
vile road was in Charlotte Saturday
and he stated most positively to a
News reporter that the road would be
ready for the running OF trains by the
18th of May. The work, Mr. Gibson
states, is being pushed with all pos
sible haste.
AS has been stated before in these
columns, the Southern expects to use
this line almost exclusively as a
freight line. This is made necessary
on account OF the largely increased
passenger business Of this road. As
it is now passenger trains are in many
instances blocked from making
requisite time on account of the I'M
mense freight business This will
do away with the freight trains On
the main line from Greensboro to
Charlotte and will give the passenger
trains wide berth, says the News

a new cipher is being made up.

1T is a rare thing to find theory
and practice plumbing the same line.
1t is so much easier to say what
should be done than it is to do it..
For instance, ex- President Harrison
recently made very strong speech
on the obligations of wealth to pay
its Just share of taxes and at the
same time it is said there was a dog
tax standing against him in his own
home and had been due since last
June. However, the ex-President
did the best thing under the circum-
stances by promptly paying the tax
when his attention was called to the
matter, thereby setting a good ex-
ample to those whose theories and
practices are out of gear.
