North Carolina Reports Excellent COnoitfons
Raleigh, N. c.. August 1S.-Mr. S. T.
Bruner, secretary of the agricultural de-
partment, says:
First, excellent business conditions pre-
vail in this state, fair prices are paid for
products and labor. There is much build
ing going on in all parts of the state.
"The farming boom at the west Is not.
however, felt here. But special farming
trucking and fruit growing-is increasing
the profits of many southern farmers. The
industries that show the greatest gains
are cotton mills, tobacco and furniture
factories.
tn tobacco crop is above normal, and
growers are curing we'll.
1.-THE prospective corn crop is 3S,000.000 to
100000 bushels; wheat is not SO good,
5000 900 bushels; sweet potatoes, 100000
bushels The tobacco crop this year will
approximate 12.500,000 pounds, and cotton
will approximate 00u bales.
There are no less than 205 mills of all
kinds now operating in the state and ten
more are under construction. The item
dency is to place the mills where the raw
material for manufacturing can be got.
This tendency is working a great change
throughout the south.
"Laborers' wages remain good The gen.
eral condition of things as compared with
a year ago are better. The purchasing
value of money now is better. The rate OF
interest for ordinary paper is per cent.

Georgia Manufacturing Interests Revived


Atlanta, Ga, August Ex-Governor Allen
D. Gambler said: Business conditions In
Georgia are fairly good. The volume OF
trade is not large, but good healthy con-
dition prevails. Industrial and farming
activity reported in the west is not felt to
any great extent in Georgia Industrial
enterprises are more profitable than farm
ing. Cotton is so low that our farmers
cannot prosper. Banks have an abund-
ance of money, but there is little in the
hands of the country people.
Manufacturing is on the increase and
manufacturers are doing very Well. All
are making some money. Wages in the
factories are tending upward and most
employers are paying slightly better wages
than they paid a year ago Wages of farm
laborers have not advanced and cannot
until a better price is paid for cotton.
1.-The rates of interest are lower than at
any time since the close of the war ofse-
cesslon. The prevailing rates are to
per cent, according to length of time and
character of security.

Osteopathv.
Huntsville, Mo. Dec. 81. is:


MIR. ED:--Wi,h the close of Januasy
another class of so osteopaths will eei
graduated from the A. H. Still Am.ri-
can School of Osteodathy, and with the
beginning of February new class will
enter the school. This will serve a. a
reminder to any who may have been
thinking over the matter Of studying
osteopathy but think they have plenty
Of time in which to do so, that Feb
ruary Is not far Off and now is the
time to begin preparation for the
work. The fact that the tuition here
has been placed at $500 instead of
$500 should be great incentive .o
young men and women to pursue the
course in the original American School
of Osteopathy.
Parents who have sons and dang!t-
ers whom they would like to educa,e
III some noble profession they would
do we'll to investigate the methods ard
high standing of the American School.
The moral tone of this institution cam
not be questioned. The professors are
FL mon of the best character, high ed
|pcation and line abilities. We also
nave as good class of students as can
be found in any school, a largenumber
Iof whom are graduates from differ
ent colleges and universities.
We have a Y. M. @. A organization
in the school in which considerable ill.,
terest is manifested by many of the
students, as we'll as the faculty, one of
whom is a minister.
| There is also q fine glee club and
/. orchestra organization in the school
consisting of nineteen members which
would he very hard to excel, each mem-
Der possessing the talent in his especial
line of music. The music of this or
ganization is much appreciated both
by the school and people of the city.
The school has also been we'll repre-
sented during the fall season by a
|s,rong foot ball team thus showing
that like other colleges of this day snd
age, everything is up to date, and first
lclass.
The Sojourners' Club is another very
worthy organization IN connection with
the institution, which meets once a
week for improvement in literary
way, having as it does a fine library to
draw from DR. VIM. Smith, the de
monstrator and lecturer on anatomy
llectured before the Sojourners' Club
Saturday, December S1st.. on Sir Wal
ter Scott.
SO you see there is no lack of oppor
tunity to the student who wishes tt
busy himself or herself with any o.
the above mentioned organizations
when not employed in study Thu
!sg-rouding Influences connected wit.
THO school are such that no parent nee1
fcgr for q moment about sending thel
son or daughter here to be educated il
osteopathy. Although practically new
as yet, this science is pressing forwal'
with vigor that means much to TIN
student who at once makes his "callln.
'and election sure without furthe
dealing. Not only can one accomplish
!, a vast amount of good to the Athlete
through osteopsthy, but it is psyin
business. Reports come in here RICH
along from graduates who are in tn
field Of practice telling of the good the
do and the large SUNG Of money tina
have been made by them as a lonsi
uuence of their faithful work.
Yours truly,

An interesting suit was heard
before Squire Taylor last Tuesday
in the case of DR.. j. ii. Jenness VS..
VIM. H. and Lizzie Rea to recover
the amount due for medical services.
Rea removed from the paper mill
to Philadelphia a short time ago
and left his wife to settle with his
numerous creditors. She adver-
tised the household effects at public
auction and before the date set for
the sale offered DR.. Jenness her
organ as security until she was able
to settle her bill. He sent for the
organ a few days later and found
that it had been hauled to Noting
ham and shipped to Philada. The
doctor then attached one of the sale
notes for the amount of his claim.
The defendants were represented
by w. S. Evans, and put up the
defence that the action was not
legal and also that there was a
prior claim against the note, fol
money advanced to keep the goods
sold from being attached. No
decision has yet been given.

Typhoid.

The city of Philadelphia and
other cities in the country are
reeking with typhoid fever and the
board of health of this county gives
timely warning that the dread
disease is likely to spread over this
county unless the greatest precau,
ton is preserved. Whence comes
this deadly epidemic We heard
nothing alarming of it till last sum
mer when it broke out in the vol
unteer camps, and ran through the
army, 5,277 dying Of disease, Will,
less than 500 were killed ana
wounded in battle. The disease
was caused and spread as an cpl
demic throughout the country, by
criminal neglect and starvation of
the army in camp and field, and
the four guilty criminals at whose
door the whole crime should be
laid are Mckinley, Alger, Eagan
and Corbin. Their criminal ne
glect, inefficiency or worse, jobbery
is the source of this affection and
continuance of which we are threat
ened with. There never before h;s
been such a gang about the capital.

Old Harry.

Among the effects of the late

sale yesterday was the old sorrel
horse Harry. Harry was put up
as n mere matter of form and with
drawn, as he may be classed among
the family heirlooms. He is "a
years old and has grown up with
the family, having been raised from
a colt. Although not now able to
be reckoned as full hand with
the farm work, old Harry has his
regular chores which he does to
perfection. Every weekday morn
ing he is hitched to the dearborn
and after the filled milk cans are
placed in the wagon he is told to
take them to the creamery, about a
quarter of a mile distant. Without
any one to accompany him he starts
from the barn, down the lane and
into the road where he turns down
to the creamery and stops at the
door. AS soon as the cans are
taken out, he moves around to the
other side where the cans are re-
loaded, and when given the word
returns home as regular as clock
work.

A New Swindle Game.

A swindler is working a new
game. He goes into a store and
claims to have the same name as
the proprietor and is afraid that
things will be mixed up, as he too,
is going into business. In case of
goods being delivered there by mis-
take, will the merchant please take
charge of them until he comes for
them. The stranger then goes to a
wholesaler and orders a big bill of
goods, usually jewelry. The goods
are sent. The sharper comes along
and takes them away. AS the
good natured merchant has received
the goods and allowed them to pass
from his hands, he has to pay for
them. Keep look out for him.

Burglary.

DR.. l.. r. Kinks drug store, on
tn corner of Queen and Cherry
streets, was entered through the
back window, on Thursday night
or Friday morning of last week, by
IA burglar and about 1000 cigars
taken. Nothing else was disturbed.
The money drawers, which con-
tanned four or five dollars, were
not opened. the cigars that dis
appeared were in STOW case with
pipes, tobacco and other things
but nothing but cigars appeared to
c|aim the thief's attention. Had
the window sash not been left
propped mp by barrel stave-the
shutter had been closed-and a
small clock and lamp removed from
their accustomed places, the trace
of the midnight prowler would
have scarcely been noticed
The Do1tor offers SO reward for
the apprehension Of the thief and
recovery of the stolen goods, to
which reward the Rising Sun De
tective Association adds $40. The
burglar left no traces by which a
clue could be started.

Disappearance of an Administrator

-
A petition has been filed in the
Orphans Court by Mrs. j. Elwood
Zebley asking that the letters of
administration on the estate of
Harriet E. Wildman, deceased,
granted to Joseph Wildman and
Pearson Wildman, husband and
son of said deceased, be revoked,
and new administrator appointed.
Mrs. Wildman died leaving an
estate worth about $1,000, in which
her husband has life interest. 1t
consists of mortgages and stock of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Mr.. Joseph Wildman is
mentally incompetent to transact
business by reason of old age, and
Pearson Wildman the son and other
administrator has mysteriously dis
appeared. He went to Whining
ton, Del, in September 1897, and
since that time his friends have lost
all trace of him, nor can they in
any way account for his disappear
ance. The absence of one admin
istrator and incompetency of the
other prevents the collection of the
income of the estate, hence the
petition of the heirs for a new adj
ministrator. The family resides in
the upper part of the county, near
Appleton, where Joseph Wildman
owns a fine Abandonment.
