TAHE discovery and announcement

THE discovery and announcement
by DR.. Franklin Miles, that the
health of the whole or any part
of the body depends upon the state Of
the nervous system very much more
than upon anything else, has been
received by many Of our most eminent
physicians as scientifically correct.
There are many others in the profess
sion, who through ignorance or preju-
dice or both, still refuse to accept
the more modern theory, but continue
to treat the kidneys or other organs
with nostrums which irritate, excite
and intlame them beyond their
strength, while the heart and brain
are starving for proper nourishment
DR.. Miles Remedies restore the lost
energies of life and build up the system
quicker and better and stronger than
any other known medicines.
We are glad to hear from our old
friend, DR.. M. w. Shepard of Plant
City, Fla. He writes: 81 have used
the DR.. Miles New Heart Cure and the
Restorative Nervine for nearly three
years with the best of results, and
shall continue to use them when re-
quired. I am particularly pleased
with the Nervine, and have obtained
results from it in the treatment of
insomnia and nervous prostration that
are truly marvellous. 1 have also used

TORTURE CHAMBER OR PANTRY

Havana, Jan. 1.-The afternoon pa
pers today sent a thrill through the city
with report that a torture and execu-
ton chamber had been found at the res
idence of the Spanish military governor
adjoining the palace. The papers de-
clared that there the Spanish officials
questioned and murdered political pris
oners. According to their accounts, the
floor of the chamber was covered with
dried blood and its walls was indented
with matchete strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered out
side the residence. which was last oc-
cupfed by General Parade. The re-
ported torture chamber is a room about
eight feet by eight feet, just off the
dining room. AS a matter of fact it was
probably used as a pantry. In the wall
there is a dirty iron bar evidently used
to hang meat on and a piece of dis
colored rope is suspended from it. 1t
is inconceivable that General Parade
practice torture next to his dining ROOM
For purposes of better military con-
troll, the suburbs of Havana have been
placed under General Ludlow's COM
mand and the detached companies of
volunteers and police in the suburbs
have been removed from General Fitz-
hugh Lees command to General Lud-
lows.

INFRINGEMENT AND ECONOMY.

To the Editor: Please permit me to
commend the News and Observer for the
bold stand it has taken for economy in
the administra ton of our State govern
ment. That was one of the pledges
made to the people and that pledge
ought to be carried out in good faith.
Every useless Office should be abol-
ished: every unnecessary officeholder dis
charged and every excessive salary re-
dnced. The people of North Carolina.
az 4 rule, are in no condition to condone
extravaganza in our Legislature; and If
fhe Democratic party wishes to retain
the confidence of the people, it must be
as careful with the peoples money. as
an honest and prudent man would be
with his own.
MANY places have been made with fat
salaries attached, not because Of any
public necessity. but merely for the pur-
,,oso IF benefitting some individual. All
snch legislation is gross injustice to
tho neonle. There ought to be a pub
IL necessity for every cent appropriated
by the Legislature.
THAT principle was, to some extent,
FORGOTTEN in 1891 and 1893, and the rev.
oIrt;nn az 1894 followed: and the open
! IA xvantOn and notorious violation OF 1t

BokDsMEN TRYING TO ESCAPE PAYMENT
The County Board Of Education his Secured
Council 70 Bring Suit Against Teiiell and
Bondsmen. Teanhers Clamoring
for Their Pay,

The school fund of Currituck county,
is in hard lines. The teachers have not
been paid and are clamoring for their
money, but their is nothing in the
treasury to liquidate their claims. A
letter to Superintendent Mebane, from
Dr.. Ritter, the county supervisor, states
that the ex-sheriff has embezzled the
school funds for 1897. The letter is
dated the End, and reads as follows:
When I was elected to the office of
County Supervisor of Public Instruction
. succeed DR.. Pitts, deceased, / found
that the sheriff had not paid into the
treasury the money due the school fund
FOR the year 1897, and began to press
payment with the result that it has been
found that he defaulted to the amount
Of between $1,000 and $4,000 belonging
to the school fund, whereupon l imme-
diately entered suit in the name of the
County Board of Education VS.. Edward
Tettell and his bondsman. 1t appeared
at our meeting, yesterday (the End inst.)
that some of the bondsmen think they
see loop hole by which they can es-
cape payment, and the Board instructed
Mi. J. e. G. Beal, the chairman to en-
pl0y an attorney to fight the case. This
deficit has placed us in a very unenvia-
bic light, and the teachers are clamorous
for their money, and if you will kindly
give me what advice you can in regard
to the best course to pursue in order to
bring the matter to a speedy settle
llient, will appreciate the same. Our
next term OF court begins the first Mon
day in March, and I am very DESTROYS,
II the suit has to be pushed, that / go
at it in the proper manner and the least
expensive consistent with security. ,
The sheriff's term of office has expired,
and his successor has been elected and
from reports the ex-sheriff is not able
to pay the deficit. Will it be necessary
to bring criminal action, as well as civil
action against him, and will it, do any
0d?
waiting your early reply, 4 am,

Then again this Legislature is

adjourn without putting the Jim Crow

To the colored race on the statute books,
then sickness, sorrow, pain, principals

Then good government in every coun-
