HARDNESS OF CITY WATER.
4 Method to Temporarily Correct This
Trouble

y Method 10 temporarily Correct ms
Trouble
The permanent hardness which has
been SO noticeable in the city water dur
ing the past week or more, and which
is due to local circumstances not to
any natural conditions of the water. may
be rcmcdied to a great extent las a
means of temporary relief, by adding TO
every gallon of. the water about fifteen
grains (the bow of a teaspoon about
one third full not heaped up Of ordinary
baking soda and boiling for five or ten
minutes. This will precipitate the
iron as brown floccuent mass. and
when this has settled to the bottom of
the vessel. the water can be poured off
or filtered tstrained through ordinary
unbeached domestic, when it will be
quite clear and much softer than be-
fore.
Tests made in the laboratory show
that the hardness, which is now about
- degrees Clark's scale, can in this way
be reduced to about ) or 6 degrees.
The sulphate of soda which is formed
by this treatment is not injurious and
may indeed tend to correct any harm
full effects which may have already been
produced by the sulphate of iron. Sui
phate of soda is one of the constituents
of some of the most celebrated mineral
waters. Should a slight excess of the
baking soda he added, no harm viii re-
suit.
The hardness cannot be removed by
simply boiling the water, for it is per-
manent hardness. and il is only tenn
porary hardness that can he remedied
by boiling alone.

SOME APPROPRIATIONS.
MIR. B0TSHALL WAS MISQUO-
TED,

Belcross. \. c.. Feb. 20. 1899.
To the Editor: In Your issue of Feb
rliary 18th, 1899, YOU said the following:
ITO prevent the sale of school house
in Camden county, Mr.. BouShall, of
Wake introduced this bill, explaining
that the daughter of Fusion commit
tesman had been allowed to teach up
all the school money, and not satisfied
with that she had gone on teaching and
now wanted to sell the school house TO
get her salary. He said that the school
house was even then advertised for sale.
With this explanation the bin went
through in jiffy."
This does the committee a great in
justice as the facts stated are entirely
untrue. The young lady teaching the
school is my daughter, and | am one
of the five committeeman. / am not
Fusion man, | have always voted the
Democratic ticket, and any statement to
the contrary is false The committee is
offering to sell the school house and lot
by the direction of the Board Of Edu-
cation of Camden county, as the school
house and lot are not desirable for n
school, The lot is small, the water is
bad, there are no shade trees and it is
near the railroad and has besn aban-
doned for nearly two years by the
school committee. The committee have
a good school house for the school in
about one-half to three-fourths of a
mile from this place with a large oak
grove, good water, and in an excellent To-
cation convenient for all patrons of the
school. being the same place where
the public school has always been taught.
until this lot was purchased and the
house built by reason of the influence
OF several of the parties who owned
property at or near Bellcross. and for
their personal advantage and profit. in
stead of for the convenience of the chill
dren and their good. The teacher
has not completed the term of school
She has been paid for the time she has
taught, and there is enough money in
the treasury to finish paying her when
the term of school ends. Such state
ments made by Mr.. Boushall, of Wake,
who introduced the bill are entirely with
ont truth to sustain his assertions. As
You have published those which reflect
cd upon US, we ask yon to publish this
in the paper so that the public may
STE The injustice which has been done
us. Each of the committeeman voted
the Democratic ticket at the last elec-
tion, as | have been informed, and /
know that a majority Of the committe-
men are Democrats and always have

NOT YET TESTED.
The People Have Not Yet Passed Up
ON the Administrations Policy
of Expansion.

That the administration should not
have been able to make better show
ing than that of the elections in u
states is fact full of significance as
bearing upon the presidential contest
of 1900.
1t is claimed by the administration
party and by administration organs
that a majority of the people of this
country are in favor of the president s
policy of American expansion into the
eastern hemisphere. Where do they
find an expression of this sentiment in
the recent elections?
In Massachusetts. where the fight was
made almost exclusively on the expan-
sion issue, the democratic party made
surprising gains. Ohio was held for TIE
president only by the eXertion of all the
administration influence. In no state
of the II did the vote show that the
presidents Philippine policy strength

The issue of imperialism, of expan-
sion by the conquest of foreign terri

reason TO believe that the popular vote

demnation of this un-American policy.

ELECTION RESULTS.
terribly Emphatic Reb0ke to the
Administration for Criminal
Aggression.

That the recent election carried with
il severe condemnation of imperial
ism is evident to all intelligent people,
and claims to the contrary on the part
of administration organs are simply
buncombe and nothing more.
That this fact is apparent to those
who allow themselves to reason is made
evident by the editorial comment in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, a news
paper true to the grand old party, but
opposed to imperialism.
Discussing the results of the recent
election, the Republican says:
The election carries to the admins
tration terribly emphatic rebuke for
its war of criminal aggression. Mary
land has swung back To its democratic
moorings. Nebraska shows large gains
for democrats. AS TO Ohio, the issue on
imperialism was clearly drawn"
The Republican continues: "The
great iurch which sends the presidents
party in Ohio from large and apparent
ly unassailable majorities in years past
into a striking minority ha. been
brought about by the presidential pol
icy of criminal aggression
Nash was elected governor of Ohio by
the republicans. it is true, but with a
plurality of $4,000 there was a popular
majority of C0.0o0 against the policy OF
Imperialism.
Jones received 10000 votes, every
one of which was protest against Me-
Kinley.
There can be no doubt that the Jones
vote was against Imperialism. and this
S the view taken of it by Candidate
Jones.
In concluding its comments the Re-
publican says:
The verdict of the election raises at
once the question of the expediency OF
