What We Eat.

Is intended to nourish US, but it must
be digested aud assimilated before
it can do this. In other words, the
nourishment contained in food
must be separated by the diegstive
organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood
to all parts of the body. We believe
the reason for the great benefit
which SO many people derive from
Hoods SarsapariIla lies in the fact
that this medicine gives good di-
gsstion and makes pure, rich,
blood. It restores the functions of
those organs which convert food into
nourishment that gives strength to
nerves and muscles. It also cures
dyspepsia, scrofula, salt rheum,
boils, sores, pimples and eruptions
catarrh, rheumatism and all di--
seases that have their origin ims
pure blood.

GEN, BULLER'S TASK.

Its Terrible Difficulies Pointed
Ouf by g nsral of Our
CiYil War.
New York Sun.
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: {:
Prophecy is always unsafe
prophecy in military matters
as we'll as others. It is well to
keep in mind the maxim, sNever
prophesy until you are certain. %
It is quite possible that before
this can reach you the question
of General Buffers plan of cam
paign and his success or failure
may have become history. The
problem before him is to relieve
the garrison of Ladysmith. He is
now, January 6, at Chieveley,
twelve miles south of Ladysmith,
with the Tugela river-now said
to be at food-in his front.
The Boer position extends
along the ride or chain of hills
parallel with the north bank of
the river from Springfield, above
the forks of Little Tugela on the
west Qeft), to the wagon bridge
on the Weenen road on the east
(right), a distance of more than
sixteen miles. The Beers have
had more than two months in
which to intrench this position.
They have it connected by rail
carried around Ladysmith-di-
rectly with the Transvaal, their
base of supplies. That they are
not without engineering ability
the British have learned to their
sorrow at Magersfontein and at
Colenso. They are on ground
with which they are thoroughly
familiar. The bridges not already
destroyed are doubtless mined,
ready to be blown up by electri-
cal contact at the proper moment.
The bridges must be counted out.
The "drifts' or fords are few and
far between and difficult at the
best. It is alleged that they are
obstructed with barbed-wire en-
tanglements, which will make the
passage under a heavy fire prac-
tically impossible. Besides, it
may be counted on as morally
certain that every ford is com
manded by rapid fire and machine
guns and concentric rife fire
which would approximately ami
| hilate any column that might at
tempt to cross against such OBJ
| stacles.
In this war the character of the
Beers is to be taken into the &C
| count. They are of the sturdiest
stock that history records. They
are the children of heroic race
They are not easily stampeded
Their fathers fought the warlike
Kafirs and Zulus, sometimes
fifty to one-even at greater odds
and behind their wagon kraals
beat them off. They are little
nation of marksmen. They thor
oughly appreciate the difference
between accurately aimed and uu
aimed fire. They shoot to hit
They do not waste lead. They
are all horsemeu. Their handy
little horses, ready saddled, wal
behind the hills back of the1 ugel;
to carry the commandos in the
least possible time to the threat

must come out into the open.

shown itself equal to that of tn
British or superior to it in power
and nearly or quite equal in &C

Its Present Condition-Necessary Contem
plated Improvements.

The State Board of Internal
Improvements and the Board of
Directors of the Atlantic & North
Carolina Railroad made a trip of
inspection over that road Satur-
day, on a special train, starting
at the pier at Morehead City in
the morning and winding up at
the depot in this city at $50 in
the evening.
The Board of Internal Inns
provements is composed of nine
members, one from each of the
Congressional districts of the
State, and seven of the nine
were presents as follows: Messrs.
Armistead Jones, "A. II. Boyden,
G. M. Parks, W. T. Lee, R. D.
Caldwell, J. w. Granger and
E. F. Lamb.
OF the twelve members consti-
tuting the Board of Directors Of
the road nine were present, as
follows: Messrs. Jas. A. Bryan,
president of the road, Henry
We'll, Jas. A. Westbrook, Lem
Harvey, Sam G. Sugg, G. E.Foy,
J. A. Meadows, Dempsey Wood
and Will Webb.
The inspection was made at
the solicitation of President
Bryan, and the personel of the
two boards is such, and their
competency and integrity so
we'll known, as to carry to the
tax payers of the State the as
surance that their inspection of
this valuable piece of State
property was thorough and, that
whatever they may recommend
in their Official report can be
adopted with safety and follow
ed to advantage.
It was indeed a wise step on
the part of Mr.. Bryan, who has
so recently been called TO the ad-
ministration Of the affairs of this
road, to have these two boards,
to whom he is directly responss
ible for the conduct of the prop
erty, to make a thorough inspec-
tion of the road and all its ap~
purtenances, in order that they
may see, at the outset OF his ad-
ministra,ion, its present condi-
tion and thereby be able to Judge
of it's necessities and pass with
competency upon the judicious-
ness of his expenditures, which
will necessarily be large if this
road is to be brought up to the
physical ability. of handling with
