GOLDsBORO N. G. DECEMBER 8, 1898.
A VALUABLE PUBLICATION
Something that the Lawyers of Our State
Haye Much Needed and Will Find
Now TpdisueDsahIo
Now Indispensable.

Mr.. W. G. Munroe, of the
Goldsboro bar, has, with much
care annotated the North Caroli~
ma Reports, for which he some
time since obtained a copyright
He is sending out circular let
ters and sample sheets, showing
the scope and design of the work
The primary purpose IS that the
annexation shall be pasted in the
Reports in the margin, either at
the bottom or sides of the decis-
ions to which they refer; thus
giving to the profession the ben
efts of an annotated edition Of
the North Carolina Reports at 6
very little cost. However, for the
benefit of those who have not the
time, patience or inclination to
paste the annotations on the mar
gin, where they belong, he has
invented a simple contrivance by
which the sheets on which they
are printed can be readily fasten-
ed in the back of the volume of
the reports to which they refer.
aud so thus make a part of the
book.
Whichever course is followed,
the busy lawyer will thus have
ready access to every citation Of
any decision which he may be
examining. together with the
point on which it is cited, and
whether it is approved, overrul~
ed, modified or otherwise. He
says that he was prompted to
undertake this work from the re
mark of very able lawyer, that
a set Of reports annotated would
haye their value increased ten
fold. He claims, therefore, that
he has, by his annotations, Of
fered to the profession ten times
the present value of their re-
ports, for the low price of his
annotations. From a somewhat
hasty examination of the sample
and his explanation of
the scope and design of his work,
we feel that his assertion is right
we'll sustained by the facts.
We hope that Mr.. Munroe's
effort will meet with that encour-
agement at the hands of the pro-
fession it's many merits entitle it
to.

THE OLD ATHENS CANNON.
Only Doubles Barrelle ed Cannon in
All the Word,
Athens ga Banner.

Athens (Ga) Banner.
The old double-barrelled cans
non of the Michel Thunder
bolts is now owned by the city
and is on the city hall lot. Cap
tain Barnett has been instructed
to have the cannon mounted at
the head Of the park on College
avenue near the Confederate
monument. There is history of
unique interest LhaG goes along
with this old cannon. In the first
place it is the only double-bar-
relied cannon in the world. In
the next place, it was invented
with peculiar idea in the mind
of the inventor. 1t belonged to
the Mitchell Thunderbolts,
company of old men organized
here in 1868 purely for home de-
fense. One of the company, Mr..
John Gilleland. invented this
cannon and had it cast at the
Athens foundry.
The idea of Mr.. Gilleland was
one of considerable uniqueness.
A 50-foot chain with the ends ats
tached to two cannon balls was
the charge, and the idea of the
inventor was that when the can
non balls came out Of the muzzie
of the cannon they would have
tendency to diYerge, draw the
chain taut, and NOW down an en-
tire company, The company took
the cannon out into the country
near Athens one day to test it,
1t was properly charged and
was touched off with great cere-
mony. One of the balls got out
little ahead of the other and then
the mischief was to pay. It had
kind of circular motion and
plowed up about quarter of an
acre of ground, the mem bers of
the company in the meantime
scattering in all directions to
keep from being hit by the fly
ing chain.
The old cannon was never
used after that, except at an oc.
casional Democratic jubilee, when
charges of powder would be
fred. About five years ago the
old cannon disappeared and not
until few days ago did our peo-
pie know where it was. Last
week it turned up in junk shop,
but it was promptly purchased
by the city. Mr.. Neumyer, who
owned the cannon, had been Of
fered $50 for it, but when he
learned that it was rare old
relic and our people wanted to
keep it, he promptly turned down
the offer and swapped it to the
city for an old bell. This act of
Mr.. Neumyer is one worthy of
highest commendation, This rare
old relic will be of much interest
to the visiting soldiers now here.
It is the only double barrelle6
cannon in the world.

An Old War-HOrse of Journalism Dis
covers the Virtue of a New
Medicinal Variety.

There are only a few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
| dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
| is the chief surviving representative OF the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
| giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
| the profession at all times, but to find health
| in mud is rather a modern innovation. That
| is what Joseph Medill has been doing OF
| late.
| Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
! the stories of the miraculous Magno-Mud at
| Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
| over the country, the great editor became
| interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
| limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
| Armenian scientist of high attaInments.
| The great editor was mud -mummihed daily
| for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
| unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
! back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
! hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law Tor a
| little of the mud-treatment. In November
| he went down again, and since the new
| bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year. 49,,
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
| found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
| earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
| ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is a beautiful little
natural amphtheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot of
| the converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of a rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deeiduous
foliage of the oak trees This peculiar soil
| saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
| soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
| The mud is applied to the patient on cot,
! the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to proper temperature.
| 1t then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
| skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
| be simpler or more rational.

Chnrmingly ExcIusive.

If the common herd" has any idea
that it can attend n Mckinley reception,
the common herd" is very much mis-
taken. This fact was made evident by
the results through the mastery tao
tics displayed by Private Secretary Por-
ter, who managed the recent affair at
the white house in manner that would
have done credit to the late iamented
Ward McAllister. So cleverly did Por-
ter conduct affairs that not one "vul-
gar person" was present to jostle the
elbows of Mark Hanna, and the func-
ton proved to be delightfully."- and arts
tocratically exclusive" President
Cleveland. although considerable of an
autocrat, never succeeded in barring
out the people. Perhaps he did not
wish to do this, but Mckinley represents
close corporations, and his reception
was of that character. As the dispatches
put it: THE wives of the cabinet min
listers and the ladies of the diplomatic
corps fairly showered compliments on
Secretary Porter for his successful
management of the first important
official function of the year" How
SWEET and how characteristic of repub-
!ican institutions!
