Scotland Neck, n. c., Jan. 12.-(Spe-
ciaD-There was rather a romantic mar
riage here Sunday night. Just as the
bell began to toll for services in the
Baptist church Pastor J. L. Vann was
called on to officiate in a marriage cere-
mony. The contracting parties were
young Miss Hattie AIlsbrook, daughter
of ex-Sheriff B. J. Allsbrook, and Mr..
Wiley Cherry, the young son of Mr..
Amos Cherry, who lives few miles in
the country. Nothing had been said to
the parents about the marriage, and the
Young couple left Mr.. AllsbrOol1's home
about the time to go to church. They
arrived after the bell began to toll and
before the worshipers were in their
seats the ceremony had been performed,
the happy pair gone and few persons
knew any thing about it. The parents of
the bride knew nothing of it until the
young husband and wife returned and
the groom called Mr.. Allsbrook out and
told him they were married. 1t was
quite shock to the parents of the
bride They would greatly have pre-
ferred for her to marry at home, how
ever much they objected to the mar
riage but the young folks preferred to
take no chances.
Jim Bell, a colored man who has
been in the penitentiary once, was ar
rested this week and tried before Mayor
Perry for stealing peanuts from Mr.. J..
u. Hancock. He was bound over to
court and sent on to jail yesterday.
The little rise in the peanut market
has caused the farmers to hurry good
part Of the crop in. One man said that
he will plant a good crop again at pre-
sent prices.
The tobacco market is assured and al
ready a firm of leaf tobacco brokers is
doing business here.
The News and Observer is in demand
now for two causes: People want to
know all about the Hancock scandal and
also want to learn well the strong and
sensible charge of Judge Timberlake
which it printed yesterday.
The telephone system here is giving
good service and when some minor de-
tails are sounded up it will be COM
pleted.
Scotland Neck is one of the few towns

THE SULTAN AND OUR MISSION
ARIES.

The Porte has demanded the recall Of
two American missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on the pretext that
their mission for distribution of relief
is likely to cause disturbances. '"The
sick man of Europe" as he is derisively
termed, is as unreasonable as his politi-
cal health is feeble. AS a bright con-
trast to his obstinacy and stupidity, the
people of America are acknowledging
far and wide the benefcence of the mis-
sion of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
namely, to relieve and prevent malaria,
rheumatism and kidney complaints,
chronic dyspepsia, constipation and liver
trouble. The nervous, the weak and the
infirm derive unspeakable benefit from
its use, and it greatly mitigates those
iHfrmities specially incident to advanc-
ing years. Sleep, appetite, and a sensa-
tion of comfort throughout the system,
ensue upon its use, which should be
regular and persistent. An early resort
to this fine preventive is logically sug-
gested to those who seek it's aid.

Washington. Jan. 12.-The House to-
day passed an urgent deficiency bill car
rying S1.141. .S43. One of the items au-
thorized a further expenditure of 1920
600 for the Soldiers Home at Danville,
Illinois, for which $150,000 was appro-
priated in the last Sundry Civil bill, was
used by Mr. De Armbnd, Dem, Mis-
sourn. as a basis for a bitter personal
attack upon Chairman Cannon, whose
home is ut Danville. lie charged the
chairman of the Appropriation commit
tee. with having used his powers and
position to secure the location of the
home at Danvile. Mr.. Cannon in reply
branded Mr. De Almond as a common
scold who would have been ducked under
the town pump had he lived in the cid
DAYS. He said he would stand or fall
on his record The House by a vote Of
123 to a sustained the appropriation.
There was also a lively debate over
the provision in the bill requiring the
owners of bullion hereafter to pay the
cost Of transportion bullion from assay
offices to the mints The western mem
bers and the free silver advocates gen.
orally took the position that this change
of policy on the part of the government
(which now pays these charges) would
discourage gold production, appreciate
its value and might result in driving the
gold to foreign mints. The Republicans
and some of the Democrats including
Mr.. Sayers. of Texas, denied that it
would have any such effect; that it
meant simply the repeal of a bounty
granted to miners since 1879. The mo-
ton to strike out the provision was de-
feated HOPS.
Mr.. Hit, from the Foreign Affairs
committee, reported the Diplomatic and
Consular appropriation bill and at 4:45

Grafton requesting the Secretary of the
Navy to furnish the Senate list Of the
active officers of the Navy in each
corps, together with those who are al
sea and those who are ON shore duty
and those who are on waiting orders.
Mr.. Allen, (Nebraska), said that he
would be glad to have included in the
information asked for, the number of re-
tired officers of the Navy. 1T is well
known" said he, that vast army OF
Naval officers has been retired to make
room for youngr men who have been
graduated from the Navay Academy
or are about to be graduated. Many
of these retired officers are anxious to
resume active service and / would like
to know whether the committee pur-
poses to do anything in that regard"
Mr.. Chandler objected to tacking any
thing else to his resolution and it was
adopted as presented.

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

Rolls, mullins, BISCUITS, cake, etc, now
generally made by the aid of baking
powder, enter so largely into our daily
food that their debasement by the in
PRODUCTION of injurious substances is a
matter of serious concern to the public
health. What baking powder shall we
use to protect ourselves against the
danger from alum, and to insure pure,
sweet, Wholesome and nutritious food,
is question of vital Importance for con-
sideration in every household.
1t is a fact that a large percentage of
the baking powder sold from many
grocery stores is made from poisonous
burnt alum. There is no mark to desig-
nate it, and both grocer and purchaser
are unaware Of its dangerous character.
But alum baking powders which spoil
so quickly that they must be sold in
glass bottles, besides being unhealthful,
are unreliable for leaVening purposes.
They lose their strength almost upon the
opening of the bottle, and fail to make
light biscuit, bread and cake.
Every one has suffered from digestive
disorders arising from food made with
alum baking powders. 1t is likewise
believed by physicians that TO the abb
sorption of alum into the blood are due
many of those obscure nervous diseases
from which people suffer.
Safety from alum and kindred inJuri-
Gus adulterants will be assured by the
use of Royal Baking Powder. 1t is free
from alum and absolutely pure. 1t adds
positively anti-dyspeptic properties to the
food. and is recommended by physicians
and health officers for its healthful quail
ties. Besides, it will retain its full leav-
ening strength until used, so that its bis
cult. cake and bread are always light
sweet and fresh.
1t would be well to look in the store
room and make sure that the Royal is
used in your food.
