encs and Sold for SAYS.
England is the country where the
culture Of objects, rare and original
by their nature, their use, their desti-
nation or their historic role is pre-
served additionally and religiously.
So the owners Of remarkable things
go to London, where there is some
chance Of meeting admiring anna
teurs.
The past winter there was sold il
London an egg measuring nearly a
meter in circumference. 1t brought
the respectable price of $275I
What is the race of birds capable of
producing such phenomenon? The
ostrich, which furnishes eggs Of a
wonderful size, equaling about 25
chicken eggs, is the largest specimen
of living birds. The wonder could
not attain six times its size.
This gigantic egg was produced by
a bird, to-day disappeared, to which
was given the name epyornis. 1t was
brought from Madagascar, where
there had already been found, some
40 years AGO. some bones. and the re-
mains of eggs belonging to this ex-
tinct species.

SUIT COMPROMISED.

N. c.. R. r. Directors to Pay p. W. Ayerett
$3.50. 3 L 2 Per Cent. Dividend.
Raleigh Post
The directors of the North Ger
DINA Railroad held their annual
meeting here yesterday.
The usual 81 per cent. dividend
was declared, which will be fol-
lowed with Il 3-per cent. dividend
next August.
The directors of this road will,
in the future. declare larger divi-
dends. The ninety-nine-year lease
of the North Carolina Railroad to
the Southern begins in 1901, and
under the terms of the lease the
income of the road will be mate
rally increa sed, enabling the pay
ment Of larger dividends. The
State receives as dividends from
the North Carolina road $685.
O13 yearly, and after 1901 the
State will receive $21O,O14. The
assault on the lease of the road is
never heard of now, it having
d'ed with the passing of the Pop
ulist party.
The directors compromised the
suit instituted by the guardian of
Mr.. Phillip Williams Averitt,
paying him $3.50 in settlement of
all claims. Mr.. Averitt brought
suit, through his attorney, Mr..
Perrin Busbee, for 50, 900. Of
this amount 81, 196 had been re-
ceived by Mr.. Averitt, but be had
returned the entire amount because
of disagreement with associate
counsel on the lease fight. The at
torneys for Mr. Averitt set up the
plea IN their complaint that Mr..
Averitt was of unsound mind at
the time, or he would not have re-
turned the money already received
for services. In addition, his at
torneys claimed 81, 500 for services
for which they contended he had
never received remuneration. After
some little conference yesterday
the compromise vas agreed upon,
and Mr.. Averitt paid $3.50 IN set
Element of his claims.
AT the meeting yesterday Mr..
J. S. Armstrong, of Wilmington,
presided. TIE secretary. ex-Judge
Spencer b. Adams, acted in that
capacity. The dir ectors present at
the meeting yesterday were Col.
Benehan Cameron, of Stagville,
Sen. R. F. Hoke, Of Raleigh, Mr..
Lawrence S. Holt, of Burlington,
Mr.. H. w. Fries, of Winston,
Messrs. j. S. Armstrong and
Hugh McRae. Of Wilmington,
Col. V. S. Lusk, of Asheville,
Mr.. W. T.. O'Brion, of Durham,
Mr.. j. G. Angler, Of Durham,
and Mr.. j. A. Smith, of Bessemer
City.
The directors are much pleased
with the excellent condition of
the North Carolina road, and
they speak complimentary of the
fine condition 10 which track and
roadbed are kept. AS was stated
some time ago, the track is be-
ing ballasted with crushed stone,
and when compile ted it will be
one Of The best pieces of track
in the country.
1.-The ballastin gof the roadbed
began at Hillsboro. at which
point the stone is being secured.
The track has been ballasted as
far as Raleigh.

Is a slang expression, meaning cup
to the limit" another slang phrase
whose meaning is much the same
as "the real thing"
This definition may not be pre-
cisely luminous.
Do you want to know more on the
subject? If so consult the book on
Slang, now in preparation by a
Columbian professor, or better still
use Chase & Sanborn's Seal Brand
Coffee and you will know at once the
meaning of "the real thing"
The real thing in coffee is the
kind that produces a deep port wine
color before cream and a rich golden
after rea only real coffee will
do this.
Chase & Sanborn's high grade
coffees which are delivered to you
in richly colored parchment lined
bags are the best that money can buy.
The n in which they are
roasted and made ready for the con-
sumner is nothing short of scientific.
Any one who once uses Chase &

be persuaded to buy anything but

THE LITTLE sIcKNEssEs
Which Grow Into eiq ones.

little cold in the head Is a trifle, but If neglected and it hangs on from week to week and gets into the throat and lungs it is no longer trifle. It Is then no long CT a slight cold but the beglnnlng or chronic catarrh.
 Do not make the mistake of thinking you have no catarrh because the head and nose appear to foe clear. If there Is cough, tickling in the throat, hoarseness or sense of oppression in the chest you have throat and bronchial catarrh. If the ap- petite is poor, nausea, gagging and dls- gust for food, especially in the morning. you have catarrh of the stomach.
 The surest and safest treatment for ev- cry form of catar1fl is an internab~remedy which acts especially on the blood and mucuous membranes.
 Such remedy is the new catarrh cure, sold everywhere by druggists under name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a medicine in pleasant convenient tablet form and containing all the best and latest specifics for eatarrh whether located in nose, throat, bronchial tubes or stomach.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Sanguinaria, guaiacol, Red gum and simi- lar antiseptics which destroy the germs of catarrh in the blood, and no one who suf- fers from any form of catarrh and has seen the uselessness of sprays, touches and powders will ever go back to them after once trying so convenient, pleasant and harmless remedy as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and one which gives relief in so short a time.
 Even in cases where catarrh has ef- fected the senses of smell and hearing these tablets accomplish a cure because the blood being cleansed of catarrhal germs the mucous surfaces of the nose and throat no longer clog up the respiratory passages with catarrhal secretions.
 All druggists sell full-sized treatments of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the nominal price of 50 cents and the regular daily use of them will effectually cure this trouDle- some and dangerous disease.
