No trouble is more common or more

People having it think their nerves are

stomach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much

Scotland Neck, Y. c., Jan. IS. lSpe-
cial)-Mr. j. w. Howard lied at his
home near Cooklcy, in Edgecombefconn-
ty, this week of smallpox. He was
seventy years old. There are as many
as thirteen cases in that community, it
is said, but a fairly good quarantine
has been set up. and the spread may be
checked. The disease has been alumbor-
ing in that community since the fifteenth
of last September. While the scare has
become quite general and there have
been some other suspected cases report
cd in other communities, there has been
no decided action taken looking TO. a
general vaccination.
Mr.. William Parker died two days
ago at his home at Spring Hill from
malaria contracted by living too con-
stantly on Roanoke river.
The people like the proposed road law,
and everybody seems pleased at the
overhauling of penitentiary matters.
Nothing thus far has been done in the
Legislature to call forth the censure of
the people. On the contrary everybody
seems satisfied at the business-like man
ner in which the members are doing
their work. All legislation thus far las
certainly been fair.

MIR. DREwRY INTERVIEWED.

/ saw Mr.. John G. Drewry last night.
He has just returned from a trip TO
the North, and being interviewed, Mr..
Drewry said:
'arhe board of aldermen has no de-
sire to avoid free discussion of the
provisions of the new charter. After
consulting charters from various cities,
we culled from them what we considered
to be a basis on which the charter of
the city might rest. / do me- think
that the members of the board of alder
men are welded to any definite plan, and
our only purpose has been to advance
the best interests of the city.
1--WE feel that there ought to he a
change in the voting precincts in order
to insure Democratic control. We plSo
feel that the mayor ought to be in a
position to give more time to the mate
rial upbuilding of the city and not be
required, as under the present chqrtcr,
to remain in his office six hours every
day whether he was engaged in trying
cases or not. 1t was our opinion that
he could render the city better service
by giving personal attention to the exc
cution of the city ordinances, looking
closely after the city finances, and see
ing that all work undertaken by tbs
city was executed with dispatch and
economy. He should be given time in
which he could meet strangers coming
to the city and visiting delegations. so
as to make a pleasing impression upon
those coming in our midst. We thought
this could best be done by having 1,
Police Justice. If it can be done in a
more effective manner in some other way
and better results be obtained | 10 nol
think there is single member of the
present board of aldermen who would
not cheerfully relinquish this idea.
'As to creating additional Offices, a
careful examination of the proposed
charter will show that except the addi-
tional $500 for Police Justice, there is
no increase of expense. We now pay
for street commissioner and three fore
men about $4,000 per year. We propose
to elect a city surveyor at salary of
$1,000 and one street commissioner at
$500, thus really effecting a saving in
the street work of about $1,000.
There is a misrepresentation as to
other features in the proposed charter
which will not now discuss. The board
of aldermen will be glad to hear suggas
tons from any citizens or body of citi-
zens suggesting any improvements N The
changes proposed. Or, if public meet
ing should be called we would welcome
any action looking to the betterment OF
the charter. After we passed upon this
charter we endeavored to give it as
much publicity as possible and gave to
the city papers the charter from which
to make extracts or print in full. We
want full discussion as far as it can
be obtained, and hope to have the views
of all public spirited citizens"

RELATIONS ARE STRAINED.
Spanish Correspondent Says Dewey and
Otis Are Unfriendly.

Barcelona, Jan. 2S.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Diario says he has
discovered that the relations between
Major General Otis and Rear Admiral
Dewey are most strained owing to the
profound rivalry which exists between
the land and sea forces of the United
States in the islands.
The administrative morality of the
Americans" says the correspondent, rs
below par. The gambling hells of
Manila are taxed $1,000 each, and the
police are highwaymen who make arbl-
trary arrests and then demand from $lO
to $50 for the release of their prisoners.
The correspondent further declares
that the Americans have monopoiized
all the trade and swamped the markets
with their products, rendering European
competition impossible. As an instance
of this he alleges that California wines
are sold in Manila as genuine BordeaTX.
