To CORRECT SURVEYS OF LAND.

\ Proposition From the State Geolocist
to the Various Counties of the State.
\ communication from State Geologist
Holmes, was read before the County
Commissioners yesterday and ordered
filed. In it Prof. Holmes calls the attcn-
ton of the board TO the fact that a
great deal of confusion and litigation re-
suited from imperfect land surveys. due
to surveyors having no adequate means
Of adjusting and correcting their com
passes to the true magnetic variation.
In many of the States this defect
has already been remedied, by the cree
ton at each county seat at the expense
Of the county. stone pillars marking the
true North and South line established
ana marked in this definite way. In
North Carolina. however, / am not
aware that this has been arranged for
in II single county, though our general
assembly has from time to time passed
resolutions with regard to the matter
notably that contained in Chapter 500
of the laws of 1885"
To establish these lines. Prof. Holmes
goes on to remark. requires an expert
with very delicate and costly instru-
menta. These have not heretofore hcen
available in this State. But this year
The Geological Survey has secured the
services of II trained expert and sup
ply of the most accurate Instruments
made.
As the appropriation for the Geologic
cal Survey is inadequate for the work
proposed, the following proposition is
made to the County Commissioners of
the various counties of the State
1t is estimated that the cost of de-
termining the true North and South line
at each court house, and erecting stone
posts to mark the position of this line
will cost 800 to $50. If the Commits
sioners will appropriate $50 for the car
rying out of this work. Prof. Holmes
says the Geological Survey will pay
the balance. The $50 is TO be paid only
on completion Of the work. which will
be about the end of the summer The
Commissioners are asked to take action
OH the matter at their meeting, the first
Monday in March, and TO notify the
State Geol0gist at once in order that
arrangements may be made looking to
the immediate prosecution of the work.
at is further the intention of the
Geological Survey to prepare at an
early date n report accompanied by
maps shOing the variation of the mag
netic needle in different parts of North
Carolina, for different years in the past,
the present and future. Copies of this
report will be sent to the county commits
sioners and to the county surveyor in
every county,

1897, just closed: Andree sailed in a

year is no doubt the submarine boat

There is no doubt but that millions

out the help of any kind of gas.
The German ship "Kaiser Wilhelm

record in crossing the Atlantic, be-
sides being the largest passenger
steamer ever built. No one can say
the year 1897 was not year of great
inventions.

during January we will give a book
for the best story sent in by boy or

They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion Anyway, Whether You Have
Faith in Them or Not.
All physicians agree that the element
of faith has great deal to do in the
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in a fam
lily physician or the same confidence
and faith in patent medicine, haye
produced remarkable cures in all
ages
This is especially true ia nervous
troubles and no field offers so prolific
a harvest for the quack aDd charlatan,
as the diseases arising from weak or
run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of
all diseases, indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith to cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart,
but Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do these things, because they are
composed of the elements of diges-
tion, they contain the juices, acids
and peptOnes necessary to the diges-
tiOn and assimilation of all whole
some food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest food if placed in jar or bottle
In water heated to SO degrees, and
they will do it much more effectively
when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you haYe faith that
they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, In the
only way that nature can do II, and
that is,frOm plenty OF Wholesome food
we'll digested. 1t is not what we eat,
but what we digest that does us good.
