of her death, but had been faithful
Christian for twenty years. She was
buried at Plank Chapel, the funeral
being conducted by Rev. c. L. Whit

The large number of friends and
relatives present attested the love
and esteem in which she was held.

Notice to Shippers and Receivers of

As will be seen by reference to an
nouncement of the North Carolina
Car Service Association published in
this paper, the car demurrage regu-
lations will 60 into effect October

unloaded within 4S hours after ar
rival at destination, and all cars not
loaded within 4S hours after being
placed in position, a charge of $1.OO

one in force in other Southern States,
the railroads being forced to take
such action for detention of cars and
use of tracks.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Sept. 10th, 1898.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Sept. 10th, 1898.
To all Consignors and Consignees Of Freight:
Serious loss and much inconvenience
has been caused, both to the shippers
and Railroad Companies, by the unneces-
sary detention of ears in loading and
unloading freight. Shippers are often
unable to procure cars, tracks are en-
numbered, and the speedy movement OF
freight is impossible under the practices
that have prevailed. The Railroad Com
panies are obliged to correct this evil,
and have issued the notice printed be-
low.
The system thus established has been
in successful operation in nearly all the
States in this country during many
wears, and with advantageous results to
the public, as we'll as to the Railroads.
The amount charged is not sufficient to
compensate the railroads for the use OF
their cars and tracks for warehouse pur-
poses and is not collected for the pur-
pose of revenue, but for the prevention
of the detention of cars, which affects
both the public and the transportation
lines. The rules will be enforced without
discrimination by the North Carolina
Car Service Association, which will act
for all interests alike.
NOTICE.
Notice is hereby given that on and
after Oct. LIST, 1898, cars not unloaded
within forty-eight (4S) hours after ar;
rival, and cars which are not loaded
within forty eight (4S) hours after being
| placed in position, shall be subject to
charge OF one dollar ($1.OO) per day
| or fraction thereof, for the detention o
! cars and use of tracks, Sundays ane
legal holidays excepted.

discussed as brother with brother the
methods best to adopt to relieve our
country of the official disgrace and in
competency now upon US, and how best
to preserve the virtue and honor OF our
people.
This was not a call of politicians or
pie-hunters. After every one who wished
had offered his opinion as to the plan to
pursue to overthrow corruption and
ignorance and reinstate honesty and
justice, the following resolutions were
drafted and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The political situation OF
thecountry is in condition by no means
in accordance with the wishes OF any OF
US; and
WHEREAS, We, the white citizens OF
Middleburg Township, Vance county,
are here assembled for the purpose to
better our condition politically; there
fore,
Resolred, That we do now pledge our
selves personally and collectively to vote
no ticket calculated to promote the in
terest of any party which may have on
their ticket candidates preudiced to a
complete restoration OF white supremacy
in both county and State.
Resolred, That we will exert our per-
sonal efforts to induce our friends and
neighbOrs to vote the white mans ticket
in the coming election.
Resolved, That we are here with no dispo-
sition to censure anyonefor past acts but
solely to deal with future service for our
mutual good.
Resolved, That the Neus and Observer aud

lish same. THOS. Y. ROWLAND,

the new advertisement of Dobbin &

could not escape the readers atten-
ton. These progressive merchants
announce their readiness for fall
business with bright and attractive
stock of goods. That the styles are
correct and the materials are the
best those who know their buyer need
not be assured. This house is not
only credit to Raleigh, but to the
State. There is not a more wide
awake, up-to-date firm and the stock
OF goods they carry is unsurpassed.

4 CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of SAN
liagO de Cuba We're all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and RatiOns to the
Front Saved tho Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 22d, says:
'We had diarrhoea in more or less violent
form, and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy: we were able to keep at
work and kept our health; in fact, sim
cerely believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour of our
army, for If the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa, and
know in four cases it absolutely saved life. "
The above letter was written to the manu-
facturers of this medicine the Chamberlain

DURING SLEEP

The reason it is necessary to be well
covered while sleeping is that when
the body lies down it is the intention
Of nature that it should rest, and the
heart especially should be relieved of
its regulaC work temporarily. SO that
organ makes ten strokes a minute less
than when the body is in an upright
posture. This means 600 strokes in
sixty minutes. Therefore, in the eight
hours that man usually spends in
taking his nights rest, the heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes. AS il
pumps elk ounces Of blood with each
stroke, it lifts 10000 ounces less OF
blood in this nights session than II
would during the day, when a man Is
usually in an upright position. Now
the body is dependent fer ss warmth
on the vigor OF the circulation, and as
the blood flows SO much more SLOWLY
through the veins when one is lyonG
down, the warmth lost in the reduced
circulation must be supplied by extra
covering Evening Wisconsin.
