THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Merrimac
St., Lowell, Mass, writes:
cit affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the beneftIhave
received from taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Icanhard-
lyfndwords to expressmy gratitude for
what she has done for me. Ny trouble

but he failed to do me good. / took sew
eralbottles of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, also used the Sanative
Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's

Mrs. AMOS TRoMBLEAY, Ellenburgh
Ctr, n. Y. writes:

THE BOARD OF PUBLIC CHAR
tiles.
The report OF the board of public
charities is presented herewith;
tbs attention OF the general assembly
Is called to IT'S recommendations
THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
The report of the superintendent OF
public instruction. which will be laid
before the general assembly. Is a very
full and thoughtful discussion OF some
questions relating TO our public schools.
Its suggestions and recommendations
are commended TO your
bodies for such action as may be Deem
"a wise a-d ~expedient.
These : .sools, outside OF the larger
towns, can never be what they ought
to be, and what the age n circum-
stances demand that they should be,
until some way is found to largely in
crease the public school fund OF the
state. We do not have enough money
now TO support as many schools as we
need. 10 say nothing OF increasing the
length of the terms OF our primary
schools as at present organized. It is
earnestly hoped that some way may be
found to secure this beneicent result
TO the children OF the state.
1t would seem to be also certain. that
permanent stand efficient public school
system cannot be built up in this or
in any other state. without the loca-
ton and construction OF suitable schooF
houses in the several school districts
Of the state. There has never been
within my knowledge. an efficient public
school system built up anywhere with
out the building OF houses suited to
the rpo OF common school work
This subject. transcendentay impor-
tant in all aspects OF II, Is commended
10 this general assembly for such
lighten,d action as may be possible
under the conditions prevailing in the
commonwealth at this time.
CONCLUSION.
While the last two years have not
been prosperous to the farming classes
of the state, on account OF the low
prices commanded by most sorts OF
farm products, there has been n large
increase of cotton manufacturing plants
within our borders
II has been stated, and / have seen
nothing To contradict IL. North Caro-
J lima is now the second state in he
south in cotton manufacturing. This
growth in a permanent industry may
be taken as fairly indicating that the
time is not distant when u favorable
| climate and soil, together with the fact
that cotton grows here, will bring with
in our borders many manufactures in
| dustries OF this kind, which are now
| located less favorably than they would
be here. 1t is hoped the general assem-
bly, will do whatever ought to be done.
| not only TO foster the growth of manu-
| featuring in our midst. but also to pro-
mote the prosperity and happiness Of
| all our people.

Mr. Ryan's Injunction Against the
SeabOard Sale

Baltimore, January 5.-Thomas F.
Ryan, of New York, owner OF 2,7OO
shares Of stock Of the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad Company, filed an
application for an injunction in the
circuit court today to restrain Louis
McLane, as a member of the pooling
committee, from transferring some
1900 shares of stock to any person
other than Mr.. Ryan. The court is
also asked to compel Mr.. McLane to
deliver said stock to Mr.. Ryan at 1925
per share in accordance with an agree
ment made on October 6, 1896. Judge
Wykes did not act upon the petition.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Ryan that a
controlling interest in the Seaboard
cannot be secured without this block
of stock. On the other hand it is con-
tended by h present management OF
the Seaboard n the Williams syn
dicate that control can be secured
without these. Friends of the syndi-
cate assert that the petition for the in
junction will delay the final sale of the
road for a short time only.
John Shelton Williams, head OF the
syndicate aid tonight: II do not ap-
prehend that there will be any serious
trouble caused by the action taken by
Mr.. Ryan. 1t may postpone the full
development Of our plan for a short
while"

President Williams Of the Georgia and
Ala bama Talks on the subject

Baltimore. January 5.-John Shelton
Williams. president Of the Georgia and
Alabama Railroad Company, and head
OF the syndicate which has bought a
controlling interest in the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Company. pa
rent corporation of the Seaboard Air
Line system, arrived in Baltimore to-
are interested in the big deal with him.
In regard to the plans of the syndicate,
Mr.. Williams said:
The syndicate will maintain the Sea-
board Air Line as an independent sys-
tenn. and it will continue TO be the most
important factor in the trade relations
between Baltimore and III south.
wish to emphasize the fact that the
purchase was not made in the interes.
of any other railroad company, nor has
the Southern, the Atlantic Coast Line
or the Pennsylvania the least interest in
the syndicate. We bought the property
as an investment, and will operate ir
on our own account and not in connec-
ton with any other system. The syn
dicate is composed of Baltimore, Rich
mod and New York capitalists, Rich
mond interests predominating.
Il am not at liberty to divulge our
plan in full at present, as the details
connected with the transactions will
have TO be worked out. / will say,
however, that improvements will be
made wherever necessary and the sys-
tenn made second to none i'm the coun-
try. 1t traverses a rich section of the
south, and / have no doubt that in
time it will become one of the most
prosperous properties in that section.
In regard to the rumOrs tina ii is
our intention to build a line to conneci
the Seaboard Air Line with the Geor-
gia and Alabama, thus forming a
through line from Washington tc
Jacksonville, l will say that matter has
not been determined. The report thai
the two roads are to be consolidated
probably arose from the fact that the
members of the syndicate are largely
interested in the Georgia and Alabama
railway. At the proper time / will be
| glad to make a statement in regard tC
the future Of the Seaboard Air Line.

The Southern Cannot Gfv up tho Lease

Richmond, Va, January 5.-A case of
great Importance was argued in the
court of appeals today. 1t is that of
the Southern Railway Company
against the Franklin and Pittsylvania
Railroad Company. The Southern is
operating under a lease the narrow
gauge road that runs from Franklin
junction to Rocky Mount, a distance
of thirty-six miles. The Southern is
operating this branch at a loss and IL
wants TO give up the lease. Only one
train is run daily on the line. There
are two other lines entering Rocky
Mount and they onnec with the Nor
folk and Western. Most Of the freight
and passenger business of Franklin
county goes to these lines. Circuit;

cided the Southern company, which

Peculiar Cloud Made Mt. Haggin Appear
to BE in Eruption.
rs Mount Haggin a volcano?" was
the excited query fired at many an old
settler late yesterday afternoon.
There seemed to be some ground for
the question. Above the rugged top
of the mountain there hung a spiral
cloud that resembled steam Ascend
ing in a slender thread from the very
peak, the cloud sprSad out as it gained
altitude and mingled with the rain
filled clouds above.
Did you ever see a picture of Mount
Vesuvius in a state of eruption? If you
have you will know how that cloud
looked.
An element of the tenderfoot popula-
:ion was excited. In their imagination
these newcomers saw a cloud of lava
pouring from the mountain and over
whelming Anaconda, making it mod
ern Pompeii, to be dug out by wonder
ing scientists a century or so hence.
But there was to be no eruption.
Mount Haggin had no intention of
Transforming itself into a volcano. The
cloud was neither smoke nor steam, but
wind blown cloud that lowered over
the mountain for a time, then was
blown away in another fantastic shape

own spirit, they were all the more

revealed that literature, art and full
ness of personal culture are really fac

and are as much needed as the Puritan
ic element, or consciousness. The
ideas are also valuable because lead
ing us to see that in our thoughts of
social reform we must not stop short
with improvements in government,
suffrage, representation, ETC., or in i'm

comfort, but must see to it that
through education and the populariza-

vidual can have richer and fuller life.
Otherwise, we are simply improving
the machinery of living, and not it's in

not perhaps so central in progress as
Goethe and Schiller thought, are
agencies which the reformer despises
only at the expense of making life
hard, narrow and prosaic.
