"Prde Goeth
Before a Fall. "

Some proud people think
they haze strong constfta-
tfonS. and rdicale the idea
of disease. Such people
neglect their health, let the
blood run do1vn, and their
stomach. Kidneys and lfVer
become deranged.
Don't be foolish about your health.
Use Hoods Sarsaparilla and you will
prevent the fall and save your pride.
Scro1ulous Hip Disease MY boy
Willie had scrofulous hip disease from
baby. Assesses developed. Months at
the hospital, with best treatment. did no
good. They said he would never walk
again. He was helpless and wasted away
to nothing but skin and bone. Hoods
Sarsaparllla had helped me, and l gave 1t
to him. Imagine my delight at a wonder
thrown away. He Is now tall and stout,
perfectly well and the thanks are all due
to Hoods sarsaparilla. Other mothers with
crippled children should know this" MRS.

The cause of Eczema is so small that
you can't detect it with the naked eye.

simply the outward signs of the disease

NOT ALL AT ONCE, PLEASE.
The People Want a Small Bond Issue
and Low Rate of Interest.

The Board of Aldermen, at their last
meeting, fixed the rate of interest on
the Street Improvement bonds, voted a
week ago, at per cent.
The News and Observer then said thi
was Il mistake: that the bonds could be
floated at a much lower rate; that the
people had voted only 100000 and now
to make the issue 100000 would not
be fair.
The Finance Committee, on investiga-
ton. find that this position is correct
and they will, when the board meets
again, recommend that the rate of in
terest be cut down to 4 per cent.
Even this rate may be found, on
further inquiry. to be too high. Certain
~ the board ought to thoroughly look
into this important matter before taking
final action.
Bids ought to be invited for the low
est rate of interest mt which the bid
ders will take the city of Raleigh s
bonds at par. 1t is likely that. at the
present time when municipal bonds are
in such demand. the bonds can be sold
at par bearing an interest of 3.75 or 300
per cent. The people voted to let the
aldermen spend 100000 on the streets,
not $120000, which five per cent. bonds
would sell for; nor even the 100000
which four per cent. bonds would bring
They voted exactly 100000 and they ex
pected that the Board of Aldermen.
like faithful and prudent agents
would borrow the money at the lowest
possible rates.
And. as the law under which the PEG
pie voted the authority to issue $780,
600 in bonds provided that only $4,000
should be expended in each year for
two years. the voters of the city did not
expect their agents. the Board of al
dermen, to borrow the whole 100000
and allow one half of it to remain idle
paid the interest. The fact that next
year is Presidential year. may cause
all securities to be somewhat lower, but
it will not be necessary to sell the last
$50 600 of the bonds until 1901, or after
the Presidential election, at which time
the disturbances caused by a political
campaign will have subsidized. Investors
can be found, no doubt, who will con-
tract to buy the whole issue at par with
rate of interest somewhat under -four
per cent. taking and paying for S50, 1000
now and taking and paying for the re-
mainder in January 1901. interest to be
gin on the latter batch at the date OF
delivery.
The endorsement of Mr.. Drewry and
Board of Aldermen by the recent re-
markable vote, was an unprecedented
tribute paid to their public spirit and
honest management. and If the Board
will treat the tax payers fairly and
take them into their confidence, ex-
pending the money providently, there
will be no difficulty in inducing
the voters hereafter to Issue additional
bonds for any necessary purposes.

EMPLOYMENT OF CONNECTS.
The Penitentiary Will Contract Its
Farming Operations.

The Arson farm will hardly be pr;r-
chased by the State. as at first intend-
ed. The penitentiary will very material
" contract it's farming operations with
in the next year. Messrs. Travis and
Osborne, of the Executive Board tell
me; and the Caledonia farms will supply
about all the land needed.
Already new industries are being
started for the employment of the con-
yicts otherwise than on the farms.
Several months ago the making OF
brick was commenced. This, however,
because of extravagant and careless
management, has not amounted to much.
Recently mattress factory has been
opened Though it is not well under
way yet, some 800 or 400 mattresses
have already been made. These retail
at from SD to $50 each. When the
factory is well established it will have
an output of from 30 to 40 mattresses
a day. For the most part only crippled
and invalid convicts are employed. tit
this work-those that hitherto have
been entirely unproductive.
The establishment of an excelsior
factory is also under consideration and
Col. Osborn thinks it will soon be start
ed.
Then there is the shirt factory. a
white elephant bought from a New
York jew that had the long end pf Il
contract made by the Fusion board.
The present directors had to buy the
machinery to get rid of the contract,
the contractor and threatned suit. Just
how they will operate it has not yet
been determined-wheth independently
or under contract. A New York man.
ufacturer named Jones has made an
nished by the penitentiary.
In addition to these things the Exec
utive Board has just closed Il contrarr
with railroad builder for 100 conyicts
to be furnished MIN on July 10th, at -
cents day. On August LIST they are
to let him have 300 more on the same
terms. These will net the pententiary
1925 day, as all expense is borne by
the railroad except the salary of the
supervisor and the guards.
These railroad convicts will be under
the management of Capt. Bradshaw,
the best man for this place In the State.
and they will be used in building the
new railroad from Ashepole, in Robson
county. They will be returned TO the
penitentiary when the cotton crops on
the farms are ready to be picked
Next year, Mr.. Travis says, it is the
intentions of the Executive Board to
put out 400 of the convicts for the entire
year on railroad work.

THE STATE GUARD SQUABBLE
All the Companies May Have to be Dis
banded and Recognized.

So bitter have become the quarrels be-
tween the old and new companies at
seine places that it is now beginning to
look as if the entire State Guard will
have to be disbanded and reorganized.
The feeling at Waynesuille, Asheville,
Raleigh and Charlotte is very strong
One day this week the Adjutant General
received no less than ten letters from
iWaynesville taking sides in the contro-
yersy and advising that one or the other
of the companies be ignored and the
other recognized. All hope of adjusting
these differences has been abandoned.
Some course of action in the matter
will be decided upon by the Adjntant
General this week.
