AN EDITORS LIFN SAVED BY
CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH
RENEDY

During the early part of October, 1896,
I contracted a bad cold which settled on
my lungs and was neglected until / fear
ed that consumption had appeared in an
incipient state. l was constantly cough
ing and trying to expel something which
could not. / became alarmed and after
giving the local doctor trial, bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and the result was immediate improve
ment, and after l had used three bottles
my lungs were restored to their healthy

faction of seeing lot of dead politicians
who talk one way to the people and act
another way when opportunity for ac-
ton is presented to them.
II Ny fourth and best reason for be-
lieving my bill will pass, is because it
is so manifest to everybody that my bill
is practical weapon with which to
strike a, blow at the Tobacco Trust. and
it is the right thing to do, and is what
a majority of the right thinking people
of the State. and especially the tobacco
farmers and all others outside of the
Tobacco Trust and its b2neful infiu-
ence demand But if the present Cen
eral Assembly should refuse TO pass my
bill | will offer the same opportunltysto
each succeeding Legislature to pass it
and make it disturbing element in
State politics Indefinitely. But as be-
fore stated | have no fears that enough
real antitrust Democrats and antitrust
Populists will vote for my bill to repeal
the Blackwell Company Charter 1t
only took one day for the legislature of
1887 to grant the charter, and it ought
not to take the Legislature of 1899 any
longer to repeal it at the adjourned SEES
sion in June next.
This corporation, like all other State
Corporations, is the mere creation OF
State law. 1t owes its creation and
continued existence solely to the legisla-
tive authority of the State, which first
breathed the breath of life into it and
endowed it with authority to engage in
the tobacco business. The beginning of
its corporate existence dates back about
seventeen years, to 1883, when such a
thing as tobacco trust to skim the to-
bacco farmers of North Carolina to en-
rich Tobacco Trust, was not even
thought of by anybody. Since then, the
State has passed stringent criminal
laws aimed directly at the Tobacco
Trust. and yet the State has been UNI
able to enforce its antitrust criminal
laws for want of proof under the strict
rules Of evidence in criminal cases. Now,
if l, Il natural person murder my neigh
Dor, the law will put an end to my exist
ence and restrain my power TO repeat
the crime of murder by breaking my
neck with a hangman's rope.
when corporation. created by State
law finds such corporation doing bust
ness in way which Expresses its cii-
zens in utter disregard of its criminal
laws, what ought the State then to do!
say. kill the corporation by repeating
its charter, and that is the very reason
why the Constitution of North Carolina
vests the power in the General Assem-
bly, to repeal the charter of any private
business corporation. Shall the clay

for the raising of cotton of which
there will be a large yield this year.

Mr.. Bourassa says, will bring a

VIM. Lawrence Was Arrested On the
y. : Charge Of Assault With
r.. !: w Dangerous weapon. "a

Shortly after the tistic encounter
between VIM. Tourtillott and VIM.
Lawrence Thursday afternoon, the
former had the latter arrested on the
charge ct assault with q dangerous
weapon. After u physician got
through patching up Lawrence's
countenance he appeared In Justice
Sheldon's court to answer to. the
charge. A large crowd had gathered
in the court room to witness the fun
but were disappointed for there was
no excitement. As a city Justice has
no lawful right to try q person on
such q charge the affair must neces-
sarily go before the district court.
Mr.. Lawrence said he would try to
furnish the $3.50. 90 bond required for
his appearance in the district court.
He was unable to secure bondsmen
yesterday 30 was taken over to the
county jail where he will be kept un-
til the necessary bond is furnished.
The real cause of Thursdays excite
ment was brought about something
like this: Lawrence, as near as
could be learned, was the proprietor
of one OF the First avenue south dis
reputable houses before their discon-
tinuance in this city. MIR. Tourtillott
with others, was instrumental in
having the houses closed, as he
thought they were too near the cen
ter OF the city and did not care to
have them quite go near his own
residence. 4
Since the closing OF the houses the
two men have not had much love
for each other.
Thursday they met in front of the
telephone Office and got into a
heated argument which resulted in
the disgraceful street occurrence.
