Recent events showed that a camp
is 9 dangerous than a battle. Not
only in the army, but in ordinary
life, more lives are lost by a needless
disregard of the beginnings of poor
health than by all other causes com
bined.
Dyspepsia or nervousness is abso-
lutely inexcusable now. There is no
more reason for a man or woman
eating with poor appetite or sleeping
poorly or suffering continually from
neuralgia OF rheumatism to-day
than there is of his or her going
without the necessities of life.
Every candid person who has
dragged along, under the depressing
effects of nerve and brain exhaus-
ton, needs to take to heart the words
of such unbiased persons as Senator
Tabor, who cannot afford to attach
their guarantee to anything they
have not themselves investigated.
DENVER, Col, Sept. %, 1898.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Burlington, VII heartily recon-
mend your Paine's celery compound.
It is the one remedy which should
be widely used. I have used it, and
I therefore know whereof I speak.
Very truly yours,

Formerly U. S. Senator.

West is Blizzard Swept.

st. Louis, Nov. 21.--Blizzard
weather prevails throughout
western Missouri and Kansas,
and stockmen have suffered heavy
losses, many cattle perishing on
the ranges. Kansas City reports
two inches of snow and the mer-
curry standing at 9 above zero,
showing a fall of So. The storm
was preceded by rain, which froze
as it fell, carrying down wires in
every direction. Railway traffic
is greatly impeded.
The same conditions are re-
ported from st. Joseph. On Sun
day the air was warm and balmy;
to-day Klondike weather prevails,
telegraph wires are down and
railway traffic impeded.
Rich Hill reports a sandstone
and mercury steadily falling. In
st. Louis a %rainstorm prevailed
all day, but toward evening it be-
came cold, and indications al
point to zero weather by morning,
Practically the same conditions
exist In western and southwestern
Missouri. In western Kansas the
storm was most severe, the Their
mometer registering zero or be-
low in many places.
Arkansas City reports the
worst blizzard in many years
Rain fell last night, freezing as il
fell, carrying wires down ano
covering the streets with ice
Great loss among cattle in the
country south of hat place is
reported, and many persons have
been injured by falls on icy
walks.
At Galena the weather changed
from an ideal summer day il
early morning to an arctic wave
toward evening, with a heavy
snowfall. A drop of SIS is the
record from Atchison; steam ant
electric railways blocked ant
traffic suspended, and a Missouri
Pacific passenger train stalled il
a snowdrift near Randall.

TO SUCCEED JUDGE GREEN,
Jacob w. Bowman Appointed by
the Governor.

AT last the Governor has ap,
pointed a man to fill the unexs
PRED term Of the late Judge L
L. Green.
Yesterday afternoon Jacob W.
Bowman, of huntsville, Mitchell
county, was named as judge Of
the Superior court for the Tenth
Judicial district.
This heals all d fferences be.
tween Governor Russell and Sen.
ator Pritchard, for the new judge
is the Senator's father in>law.
Though MIR. Pritchard, for ap-
pearance's sake, did not recon.
mend his wife's father for the
appointment. but endorsed in
stead William M. Moore, also OF
Burnsville, still it was under
stood all along that the Senator
really wanted Bowman ap>
pointed.
The effects good for two years
yet at a salary Of 50 700 per an
mum with 800 a week extra dur
ing the holding of special terms.
The matter, IL is stated, was
thoroughly gone over during the
Governors recent visit to Ashe-
vile and as a result yesterday
came the announcement of Bows
mans appointment.
The judge is a Republican but
not a bitter partisan. Though
not what is commonly known as
a cultured or learned man, he is
a person Of great con- mon sense
and long experience as a lawyer.
Beyond serving two or three
terms in the Legislature, he has
never held office,
He is something over sixty
years of age, weighs 24O pounds
and is Of cheerful disposition
Mr.. Bowman is quite wealthy
and belongs to a family that has
for a loIg time been prominent ia
Western North Carolina. His
brother, W. G. Bowman, was
years ago one of the most clos
quent Methodist preachers in the
State.
Judge Bowman's commission
was yesterday made cut and sent
to him, but it will be some days
before he will receive it, as he is
to-day in Charlotte arguing a
referee case before Judge Bur

Nervous debility causes timidity,

of nervous force insures self reliance,

Miss Lalia Smith, one of oul
most popular young ladies, Wis
tied in the Salem section Sunday
Mr.. Best aud Miss Carrie
Thompson, from below Goldss
boro, were visiting in the neighs
borhood Sunday.
Hog killing time has come, and
from the short corn crop, will
soon be over. Many farmers will
not have the corn to fatten their
hogs as they should BE-.
Misses Maggie Wells and Sal,
lie Woodland, from your city, who
have many friends in our CONS
munity, were visiting the Misses
Neal Saturday night and Suns
day.
One of our cleverest and most
popular young men has rented
the lovely home Of Mr.. Lewis
Hastings. He has aroused our
suspicious, and we are watching
developments with much inter-
est.
Rev. Mr.. Mcfarland filed his
last appointment at Ebenezer
last Sunday and preached a fine
sermon. The people have a high
regard for him and the utmost
confidence in him as a man of
deep piety, and a Christian gem
tleman.
We regret to learn that
Messrs. Lewis and Douglas Has
tings contemplate leaving the
neighborhood. The former goes
to Princeton, and the latter to
Selma. where they go to mer-
chardise. Our best wishes at
tend them for success and pros
perity.
Day after tomorrow is Thanks
giving Day and we think it should
be more rigidiy observed than in
many, many years. We feel un>
der obligations to Divine Provi-
dence at all times, but at the
present we feel especially so for
having been redeemed from
more than Egyptian bondage,
and having planted in our bosom
the sweet assurance Of a more
just and righteous administra>
ton in our beloved State than it
has had heretofore. Yes, we say
let US give special thanks, not
only on the day set apart for that
purpose. but at all times, realiz~
ing our helpIessness in any un-
dertaking, without the assistance
Of Divine Power.
We wish to say in behalf OF the
children in the different school
districts that some measure
should be inaugurated by which
they could realize more benefit
from the schools. They are the
ones who will suffer in the long
run. They will soon take the
places Of the older heads in each
community. and if the parents
persist in keeping them at home
to work while the colored chill
dren get the benefit of every
days schooling, regardless OF
weather and everything else,
the result VIII be that it is only
a question of time when the COL
ored race will be superior to
them Intellectually, while the
whites are paying the tax to
keep the schools in force. If il
could be done, the better plan
would be to tax each race fol-

The moving Of the warehouse
out Of town to the north is still
the heated topic of conversation,
II seems to be a case for a yery
small maj Jrity having the pull
with the railroad, for it is admit
ted by the INST ardent support
ers OF those that wish it to be
moved north that it is the wish
Of IS per cent. of the people for
it to be moved south.
Mr.. Frank Flynn, while sitting
by the freside and the guest Of
MI. Charley McCullin, last Tues
day night, vas shot through the
forehead with buck shot, suppos-
ed to have come from the road
and through glass window There
were others sitting around the
fireside, but they were not hurt.
Mr.. Flynn is said to be improv-
ing fast and that he will soon be
able to be up again.
Talk about the Mt. Olive mar
ketl just look down the street at
the hundreds of wagons and carts
loaded to the brim with rice and
cotton, and this is a sure money
crop. Look at that and then at
the piles of goods in the ware
house. Come in the early spring
and see the hundreds and hun
dreds of vehicles crowded and
rushing, heavily loaded with
strawberries, then in a few weeks
look at the long row of box cars
filled with lucious MELONS, then
the great hustle to get the pota-
toes off. You see we have almost
a continuous money crop. Now
are we going to stand idle and
let the tobacco crop, a great mon
ey crop, go to other markets just
for want of a tobacco warehouse.
Now is the time business men to
go about it for another year. Let
the farmers see that we are pre-
pairing a suitable place for them
to market their crop and they
will plant a great deal more to-
bacco.

Very Few School Districts Where
State school Books are Not Used.


State School Books are Not Used.
The publishers of the state text books
are hunting down every district IN the
state in which state books have not
been adopted. The text book law pro-
Vides a severe penalty for any teacher
or member of a school beard who per
mits other books to be used in school
They may be fined from $25 to 800, and
imprisoned not to exceed 80 days for
violating the law, except in those
counties which have county uniformity
The supreme court has held the law
valid and that teachers and school Of
ficers are subject to arrest If they fan
to use the books adopted by the state
commission.
There are just nineteen counties in
the state which have county uniformity.
They are: Harvey, Lincoln, Wichita
and TregO, where contracts expire In
1899; Anderson, Comanche, Lyon and
Mcpherson, where contracts expire in
1900; Brown, Ellis, Greeley, Jewell XII
Owa, Logan, Allen, Morris, Rawhns,
Rocks and Shawnee, where contracts
expire in 1901. All of the other counties
come within the law. Cloud Coffey,
Kingman, Pottawatornie and Riley had
expired this year and they are now in
the class regulated by the 1897 text
book law. Gray county adopted coun-
ty uniformity three years ago, but in
serted a clause in it's contracts, termin-
ating them in case the legislature adopt
ed state uniformity.
Whenever the book publishers learn
of a district where the state books are
not in use, notice is served on the Of
6cerS and teachers to comply with the
law. A memorandum is kept and, in
due time, if those officers and teachers
pay no attention to the notice, they will
be arrested under that section of the
text book law which reads:
ANY member of any district board or
any member of the school board in any
city of the first or second class, or any
teacher of any school, who shall adopt,
use or permit to be used in any public
school of this state, any other text
| books than those provided for in this
act, shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor. and upon conviction in any
court of competent jurisdiction shall be
fined in any sum not less than $25 nor
more than 800, or by Imprisonment in
the county Jail not to exceed ninety
days, or both such fine and imprisOn-
ment."
Superintendent StryIer says the state
books are almost universally used over
the state. q inquire about the matter
everywhere co. he said, ''and I have
yet to find a district using old books,
I except in the counties having county
uniformity. There may be a few such
districts where people do not know any
better, but I do not believe there are
more than fifty in the state.
1.-THE fact that the books are giving
universal satisfaction leads the districts
/ to adopt them without any compulsion.
The same fact also keeps the Republi-
cans from attacking the law I wish
they would attack it. for then its
strOng est points would be the more
readily brought before the people,

Argument in Court.

lola, Sept. 15.-Among the men in the
county Jail is Henry NGassoth, Of Yates
Center. serving a six month sentence
for violating the liquor law. He has
been boarding in lola on account of the
absence of suitable quarters at Yates
Center. Massoth is a quiet, elderly
man and has been a trusty at the jail
for some time.
The other day, as a result of a petit
ton OF Woodson county people, Cover
nor Leedy pardoned him. The question
of costs. however, did not enter into the
pardon and so Sheriff Hobart will hold
the prisoner until the costs are paid, in
order that he might not be himself Ii
able for them.
over this little point the attorneys of
the city disagree. The sheriff met up
with an attorney down town soon after
the point had come up in his own mind,
and he asked the lawyer about it. After
a look at a calfskin volume, the lawyer
said he believed the sheriff should hold
the prisOner,-in fact a parallel case in
the supreme court records, where a par
don had been given, showed that the
sheriff was compelled to pay the costs.
Several lawyers hold the same view,
but as a matter of course when he saw
the county attorney, the sheriff asked
for advice.
Turn the man loose,' came the re-
ply, 1.-The governor has pardOned him"
The county attorney stated that he
was exceedingly weary of having the
county officials pass him by when he
stood ready to advise on all subjects
and concluded with the remark that his
advice as county attorney was that the
prisoner be turned loose.
Henry Massoth is worth, in his fam
ily's name, in the neighbOrhood of $1O.
600. it is said, and he ought surely to
raise the few hundred dollars necessary
to clear him. In the meantime the sher-
if and MaSsoth have agreed not to part
the county attorney. 1t is an interest
ing case.

WHAT TT MEANS

EF'rOm the Denver Times.7
That the permanent retention of the
Philippines by the United States will
insure a new era of industrial activity
and development in the Pacific is a
proposition Of which there can be no
question. That America as a whole
viii benefit largely from these condi-
lions is equally patent. Already the
results of the war are being felt in
that direction, and the assurance that
in the future the United States will
play an important part in Far Eastern
affairs has led to the formulation Of
plans and projects of far-reaching sig
nificance.
Already the Pacific Gable company,
of which the great New York banking
house of ]. Pierpont Morgan & Sons
is sponsor, has perfected arrangements
for an extension of its system from San
Francisco to Japan and Australia, and
constructive operations will begin i'm
mediately upon the favorable conclusion
of the peace commissions work
1t means that the heaviest moneyed
interests of the country are to be en-
listed in the development and expan-
sion of American trade in the far east.
A cable is but the fOrerunner of that
commercial activity which must follow
in order to make it a profitable enter
prise It is the advance agent of the
new industrial prosperity of the Pacific.
1t means new steamship lines between
Pacific harbOrS and ASiatic and Orien-
tai ports. 1t means new railroad con-
nections across the American continent
with the Atlantic seaboard. And all
these mean new opportunities for
American manufacturers and producers,
and new openings for business and in
duStria1 enterprises of every kind
To Colorado it means the extension
of the Rio Grande to San Francisco
through the richest mineral producing
district in the world. It likewise means
an extension of the Burlington system
to the same point, making Denver the
great commercial and railroad center
between Chicago and the Pacific coast
1t means a direct western market for
all our commercial interests such as no
other inland city viii be privileged to
enjoy.
The new Pacific holds many benefits
for the American people, and for none
win they be greater than for Colorado
and Denver

NEW KANSAS CROPS.

Alfalfa, Kafir corn and the sacchar-
Inc sorghums, the forage plants which
are best known in Kansas, are con-
stantly growing in appreciation among
the farmers of the state, according to
the report af Secretary Coburn, of the
state board of agriculture.
There was practically no acreage Of
alfalfa. until 1891, when the assessors
made their first enumeration of it. This
years returns show an aggregate of
231, 53S acres, an increase of $4,000 acres
over last year.
Kaff1r corn was first reported in 1893,
when there were 46, 911 acres. In FIVE
years the acreage has increased to
535,743 acres.
The saccharine sorghums are now
grown almost exclusively for fodder in
stead of for syrup or sugar as formerly.
This year the acreage was 1882 acres,
an increase Of 10 per cent over 1897, and
an increase of 1874 per cent since 1898.
Each of these crops thrive especially
we'll nearly every year in the west half
of the state where Indian corn is not al
ways a reliable crop, on account of
drouth or altitude. They have there
fore become Of great Importance for
stock feeders.
