it might have retained for another

All of which may sound stale, but

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.


Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmOthers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion
or BiliOusness. Doctors were scarce.
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used Au-
gust Flower to clean out the sys-
TEN and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feel

IN A MIDDLE.

The Chinese situation is perplex-
inc 10 q reader Of the news, coming
from that quarter of the globe, and
the press dispatches have been SO
conflicting aud contradictory that no
credence can be placed in their au-
thenticlty.
And then there is something
strange IN this bewilderlng flood of
kilograms from the Orient, which
are mostly mere conjectures and
probabilities, rather than actual oc-
currences. The strangeness is the
fact that the Chinese Minister at
w ashlngton, Mr.. WI, submitted
yesterday 10 our State Department
official information by wire from
The Tsung Lii Yamen at PekIn, dated
the 10th instant. The minister's
news appears to have been antici-
pated unotficialIy so far as it relates
to the departure of the foreign min
listers from Pekln. But the lmpor-
lance of his message lies in the fact
that 1t is a week later IN date than
any Official dispatch which has reach
ed Europe or America since the
break in the line Of communication
June l2. The minister says the
dispatch reached him from Pekln,
VIA Sian Flu, and he assures the
Secretary of State that the state
m ants contained in the message
which are, that the foreign minis
tiers had before this date asked and
PERMISSION had been granted for
guards, so that they subsequently,
asked that these guards be rei
forced, when the Chinese govern
m mt was not disposed to permit, 1t,
were authentic and accurate.
The information submitted by tue
Chinese Minister is regarded by Mr.
Hay as authoritative and credible,
fJr il Is corroboraled by the com
municatlon of the French consul
general at Shan Tung to bis own
government. The Chinese Minis
ter's dispatch says, that the coasul
g nelal at Ten Tsln supposed TO
be the French consul general) had
telegraphed to the Vlceroy of Chi
Ii that the foreigners had demand
ed the surrender of the Taku forts, |
and that the foreign ministers were
shortly to leave Pekin for TIen Ts:u

PROTECTION AT HOME.

- An embarrassing thing about
some rules of action is that they
work all right at first and all wrong
at last. A-country, for example,
depending upon the artificial aid
of tariff to protect it from foreign
competition sooner or later reaches
a point in development where its
people feel the need of protection
from one another. The orange
growers Of Florida and California
regard each other as enemies of
the republic, and, if it were prac.
ticable, would undoubtedly demand
prohibitlve tariff on each others
products. In manufactures of iron
and steel the East and West are
even now arrayed in rivalry, and
this rivalry is bound to become
more heated rs the stalwart West
ern competitor grows in knowledge
of its resources and power. But
the most striking of these rivalries
is that between the New England |
and the Southern States in the
of cotton goods. 1t |
is most striking because of the
methods adopted by the New Eng
land manufacturers to preserve
their monopoly; that is, to keep up
the price OF this necessary of life,
which the Protectionist philosophy
teaches them to be a desirable end.
By reason Of its nearnesS to the
.aw material and the cheapness of
is labor, the South manufa ctures
,otton goods cheaper than New
England can do 1t. If perfection +,
as not been reached in the finer {
ualities, both parties know it will Il
c in a short time. Thus far, how {

The forest growth on both sides
completely hides an approaching

IS IT DISCRIMIN ALTON?

We understand that special
rates(excursion) ale given by the
n. & S. r. K. to Norfolk and re-
turn on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. At first glance this
would seem to be a very com
mendable act upon the part of
the railroad people, but we learn
that our business men regard it
as making a discrimination in
favor Of Norfolk and against
Elizabeth City.
If our friends along the line
from Edcnton TO Elizabeth City
wish to spend the day here they
are required to pay full fare both
ways, but if they purchase a tick
ct to Norfolk by same train they
pay only half fare round trip.
If this be true, it would seem
that the r. r. authorities are

given to this place IS well IS to
Norfolk.
