Wadesboro Courier: A peculiar case
near Lilesville is that Of a. young negro
woman, named Leonor West. For
some weeks she has been having fits
every day. and had become insane, ap-
parently. not even recognizing any
member of her family for several days,
until it was deemed best by her ply
sicians TO have her sent 10 the in
sane asylum a: Goldsboro, as she
was even dangerously insane. So the
necessary steps were begun TO get her
into that institution, and were about
completed when the patient suddenly
recovered, and is now in as good health
as before she began suffering with the
fits.

The South is Booming

Jno. E. Searles, who arrived at Balti-
more enroute to New York, in an inter-
view with the Baltimore Sun, said:
Birmingham is preparing to take a
dominant position in steelmaking.
The two great steel plants now under
construction at Birmingham will, 1
understand, cost about 50, 500, 900 to So
600, 900. AS a factor in building up
that city and in creating diversity of
manufacturing interests, these steel
works will probably be of more value
than everything that Birmingham has
UP to the present time accomplished in
iron matters. We found a very mark
ed activity il cotton mill building, and
in Alabama learned of the closing of a
contract by the Merrimac Manufacture
ing Company, of Lowell, to build at
Huntsville one of the largest cotton
mills in the. world. This plant, so ]
was informed, will have 200, 600 spin
dies, a bleachery and works, and will
I believe, be the first print works in the
south. 1t will probably cost 81, 500, 900
"AddedIt to the general industrial ad-
vance everywhere noticeable is the
striking progress that is being made
in the development of southern ports
At Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola
Mobile, Savannah, Norfolk, Newport
News and other ports, extensive en-.
largements of terminal facilities, in.
volving a good many millions of dol.
lars, are being made. And at Newport
News, Mr.. Huntington's great ship
| yard, employing about 5000 hands
has, I learn, about $40, 600, 900 of worb
under contract.
Looking yer the whole situation
as l have tried to do, and approaching
something of what the south has al.
ready accomplished, and what its many
advantages are, I am thoroughly con
WINGED that there are great opportuni-
ties in that section for broad and com
prehensive Developments"

Grip Hangs On

Unless the poisons deposited in the
system by the germs Of lagrippe are
quickly and thoroughly driven out at
the beginning they will continue to
sap the vitality and waste the nerve
forces of the body until the strength
gives away and the victim is overcome
by nervous prOstration and collapse.
Ancient methods Of treatment are
no longer recognized as competent to
treat this tenacious disease; but there
is a remedy which never fails to give
relief so long as there is vitality
enough left to build on. 1t is DR..
Miles Nervine, a nerve food and vital
iZer of unequaled value in all cases Of
grip or it's terrible after effects. Head

wonderful soothing, strengthening and

"LaGrippe left me terribly afflicted

The Chicago Conveys the Treasure Ship

Newport News, Va, March 13.-The
cruiser Chicago, designated as the flag
ship Of the South Atlantic squadron,
and the transport Meade, which is con-
veying $4,000, 900 to Havana to pay off
the Cuban troops, sailed from Hamp-
tor Roads simultaneously about 4
o'clock this afternoon. The departure
of the Chicago was evidently due to or
ders received today, the nature Of which
is not known here, but it is believed
that she will accompany the Meade all
the way to Havana to be near her in
case OF emergency, such as storm or
accident. After that she may proceed
to Brazilian waters or return to this
country.

board of health, and DR.. Quitman
Kohnke, of the city board, have been
indicted for manslaughter in East Fell
ciana in having caused a death in that

of the existence of alleged fever here.
The warrants were served today and

Some Of the Boards.
The spirit shown by some Federal i'm

immigrants applying for admission into the
United States is causing much WEAKNESS Of
soul to their superiors in the Treasury De-
partment, and it would not be surprising if
a few heads were to drop into the official
basket unless a change occurs. One case
has been up before Assistant Secretary Tay-
lor. on which the New York board has had
three siHings and Mr.. Taylor has rejected
the boards conclusions with a peremptory
promptness calculated to make the members
dizzy
The case is that of two Russians. a father
aged forty-six and son aged eighteen, who
have reached port with only So in cash,
and on this ground alone the board pro-
poses that they shall be refused admittance
TO the country because they are liable 10
become a public charge As far as shown by
the evidence which has reached Washing
ton, there is nothing about the pair to in
dicate that they belong TO the criminal OF
pauper class, and they are reported as able
bodied. They are destined for a manufac-
turing town in Connecticut, where they
have relatives. who have come forward and
offered to care for them. These relatives

case, that two strong and healthy labOrers
OF their ages are coming here all the way
from Russia in order to go TO a poOrhouse

are coming for is to improve their con-
dition-to get more work and better pay
