StOrV OfR Slave

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
forms of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich. tells how such .
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been SO helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of olec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully imprOv-
ed and able to do her own work. This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, backache,
faintIng aud dizzy spells. This mir
acle working medicine is a godsend to
weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 80 cents. Sold

SCHOOL LAW OF 1897.
A District Gain to the

A District Gain to the School Machinery.
The Legislature ought to con slider
we'll what it does before it abolishes
the township public school committee
men, or trustees. The bill recently re-
ported by the educational committee
of the House has very properly retain
ed the township system of the law of
1897, modified to the extent of prOvid-
ing separate trustees or committeeman
for each race. The township system
of the 1897 was distinct gain to the
school machinery of the State, and no
small politics should be permitted to
work It's emasculatiOn. The bill, as
reported, should be passed, possibly
with an amendment permitting local
taxation elections in the townships at
any time one fourth of the qualified
voters ask for such an election. School
tax elections at the time of the general
elections will hardly prove fruitful of
results. The most intelligent Legisla-
ture assembled In years, representing
the intelligence of the State, cannot
afford to do something which the in
telligent school men of the State say
should not be done -CharlOtte Obser-

Yes. But They Want It.

The Klnston Free Press denounces
the proposed sale of the Atlantic &
North Carolina Railroad for $500, 900
as "a scheme to rob the State" This
is putting the case little too strong
ly, perhaps, but it can hardly be
claimed that this is any fair valua-
ton for this property if We eliminate

ses to extend the line one hundred

could really get one hundred miles

THE ANTITRUST BILL.

We have alluded to this bill sever
al times, saying they had ruined it
by an amendment which we believed
was done by the trusts through some
hired lobbyist, or agency. We had
intended to notice it in detail. In
fact, we had been asked to do so.
But instead of this. we publish the
editorial found in Webster's Week
ly, Democratic paper, which sizes
1t up about right and with which we
agree in the main.
The Weekly does not only con-
denim the law, but puts some of the
solons in their true light before the
peo pie, and that is anything but fiat
ering.
And what the Weekly says hurts
some of the boys, too. Some are hurt
too badly to boiler. But Mr.. Glenn
can yet make fuss. He seems to
have a monopoly on noise. He rose
IN the Senate Monday to a question
of personal privileges, saying that
Webster's Weekly had misrepresent-
ed him by saying he was opposed to
the anti trust bill and had the COM
mittee to adopt certain amendments,
saying he, GLENN was ready now to
vote for any substitute which would
be "better and stronger bill"
Webster's Weekly doubtless got
its information from the News and
Observers reports. This was ten
days or two weeks ago. Mr.. Glenn
doubtless saw it. If the Observer
misquoted him, he should have cor
rected it next day. If Mr.. Glenn is
opposed to trusts, or even much in
favor of "better and stronger bill,''
he has had a right poor way of show
ing it. 1t is an easy matter now for
him to manifest so much interest IN
"better and stronger BILL" when
he knows, or ought to know they
have not the time to enact better
one. We suggest that if they can't
get "better and stronger bill'
through now, that Mr.. Glenn prepare
one and bring it along and introduce
it on his return in June, 1900. Surely
it will not take them all the time
they can give here then to repeal OF
amend that amendment to the con
stitution they have, through grear
travail given birth to at this session
We have said this much in order t.
give Mr.. Glenn the advantage of an,
and all doubts that might, through
weakness or some other cause, arts,
in the minds of any person to III,
effect that he really does favor /,
"better and stronger BILL" We sal
to the reader to carefully examine
what the Weekly says, and compare
it with tho reported proceedings ant
the bill itself.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, PIainfield, Ill,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for month by her family
physician, but grew wLrse. He told he-
that she was hopeless victim of con.
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested DR..
Kings New Discovery for COnsump-
tiOn; she bought q bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and we'll; now does her own

was.-Free trial bottles of this Great

wont do it. There is trouble in the
