It has been said that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person
of family had died with consumption
was considered sure sign that others
of that family could not escape it. This
is partly true and partly untrue. A man
with weak lungs is likely to transmit
that weakness to his children. But there
is no reason in the world why the weak
ness should be allowed to develop. Keep
the lungs full of rich, red, wholesome
blood, and the weakness will disappear.
Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
and new material will be added until
the lungs are well and perfectly strong
again. This is the thing that DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery does.

The Worlds Great Apple Problem.

Probably our great ancestor, Adam
little thought of the trouble he would
cause posterity by eating an apple. But
now the question as to how many ap
Piles he really did eat is new difficulty
How many apples did Adam and Eve
eat? Was it one, or was it millionsi
When the. subject was first mooted, the
editor very naturally replied, Why, one
of course.
No, said the assistant editor, Eve ate
one, and Adam ate one, too. that's2.
Then the sub-editor passed along a
slip of paper, on which was written,
Eve 81 and Adam 81, making 1852.
But the poet, who is man of imagin.
alton. capped this with, Eve 81 and
Adam S12, 893.
Then the publisher tried his hand
and his contribution was, Eve S142 see
how it tasted, and Adam S12. equals
1884.
But his assistant beat the publisher
asserting that, Eve oI4z see how II
tasted, and Adam 8142 keep her com
pany, 1924.
The poet who dislikes being surpassed
as much as he hates BARRIERS, came vi
to the scratch again with, Eve S142 set
how it tasted, and Adam 81242 keeI
her company, 89,3S4.
Then the humorist, who had beer
listening quietly, handed in his contri
button, Eve S142 see how it tasted, ant
Adam 8,124, ,210-der husband was he tt

There the matter rests for the present

THE BLUFF THAT WAS CALLED.

DIR. Cyrus Thompson not only aspires
to be the most proliX spouter and imagi-
native mathematician among all the flu
sion patriots but he has sought to sup
plement his ability to spill oratory with
the more robust qualities of buffer.
plexus of the maker of great speeches"
suffered.
Under the exhilaration and enthrall-
ment of his own oratory Cyrus, the
charmer, grew rash at Hoods Swamp
the other day. The Doctor is naturally
something of doubter: he did not be-
lieve that any Populist had returned to
the Democratic fold. He rose on the
very utmost tips of his toes and audacity
to prove it. Il will give" cried the
fountain of eloquence, 'five dollars to
any Populist here who is going to vote
the Democratic ticket" Instantly dozen
or more Populist heads shot into
the air before the Doctors heated vision.
1t wasn't everyday that the good citi-
zens of Hoods Swamp got paid for
going to hear fusion orator soundly
tanned. The buffer was called but he
did not put up.
The Doctor has not yet recovered from
the effects of that multifarious punch.
He has been almost as i'll as his compeer,
Dr. Stockard. since his return to town.
1t is said on good authority that there
are PIT Populists in Wayne county who
Will vote the Democratic ticket this
fall. 1t is much the same in other coun-
ties. No wonder the Doctor is depressed.
Even an official who has fallen heir to
huge heaps of unopened letters with
money in them," accumulated during the
twenty years that the State ached for
Thompson, could not shut out the visions
of financial and political bankruptcy that
have troubled the Doctor since.
This should teach the Doctor that it
is safer on the whole to stick to the
production of pure fiction, like the politi-
cal romance of Miss Halle Lou for ex-
ample, than to deal with facts before
a matter of fact people. The Doctor
has not an agricultural board surplus to
draw on and his pittance of $4,000 a
year will not go far if he undertake to
reward every Populist who has had
enough of fusion.
1t is confidently believed that there is
unusual activity in that lobe of the Doc
tors gray matter that is devoted to the
manufacture of useless regrets.

A SCOUNOREL PARD0NEO.

The Godsboro Argus relates an Incl
of every true man in the State. At the
December term, 1897, of Duplin Superior
Court, Freeman Davis, colored school
teacher and politician, was indicted for
having debauched one of his female pu-
pills, he having promised her marriage.
Judge Robinson, Republican, presided,
and Solicitor Richardson, Populist, prose-
cuted, assisted by ex-Judge w. II. Allen,
Democrat. Davis went on the stand in
his own behalf and admitted improper re-
lations with the girl but denied the
promise of marriage. Conviction follow
ed, and the defendant was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary. An appeal
was taken, and though it was never per-
fected, the defendant was not taken into
custody until August term, 1898. Near
time it became rumored that application
would be made for a pardon, and Soici-
tor Richardson and Judge Allen united
in a letter to the Governor, asking him
to take no action in the case without
hearing from them. Nevertheless, on
August Both. Davis was pardoned, having
served an Imprisonment >of-twenty-one
days, and when Mr.. =. M. Pearsall, OF
the Newbern bar, applied at the execu
tive office for permission to see the pa
pers upon which the pardon was granted
he was told they were not public records
and was not permitted to see them.
