Cashier Robbed.

Cashier Stradford of the Western Rail- road is short $500 as a result of the quick work of a thief The cashier counted out the $500 in bills, and placing them in an envelope, he carefully sealed it, prepara- tory to placing it in the express office for shipment to the general office in Atlan- ta There was no one in the office with the cashier at the time and he left the package on his desk near a window and stepped out into the hallway to call a porter by whom to send his valuable package to the express office. When the cashier returned the package and money were gone, and no trace of 1t has been found. Tn theory of the disappearance is that the window to the office was raised and the money package slipped out. MT. Stratford has made good the loss.

At the appearance of the first symp- toms of grip people should stay indoors and take Peruna in small doses (tea- spoonful every hour) until the symp- toms disappear. This will prevent long, disastrous sickness and perhaps fatal results.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
 Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Peruna, has written a book on the phases of catarrh peculiar to women, entitled "Health and Beauty" It will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, o.

more of such poetry.
 And how did George Eliot become stan- dard-how did she gain her name? By diligent, unceasing work; by hard toll. and unremiting efforts. Her diligence and thoroughness was keenly contrasted with the shams of our day-by play of sarcasm and wit, long to be remembered.
 Many felt that Dr. Jones would be far more at home with Emerson or Brown ing; but really he treated George Eliot so consummately, so broadly that he left the impression of being as much at home with this great woman-soul. And so will it be with each succeeding lecture. Great souls commune through their common powers, and we after hearing of this communion, feel the craving and longing for better things

SOME INTERESTING RACES
John B. Knox and Tennent Lomax Avowed Candidates for the Presi- dency of the Constitutional
 Convention-Are Others.

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, March 6.-(Special)- arations have been completed for the Democratic state convention called to meet in this city next Tuesday for the purpose of nominating ffty-five delegates tional convention.
 The convention will be held in the Aud itorium, where the last state convention was held, and will be called to order at noon by State Chairman Lowe.
 The Democratic state committee will meet here Monday to make final arrange ments for the convention, and suggest temporary officers.
 It is expected that there will be full attendance of delegates, as the contest for the four positions from the state-at- large and several of the Congressional delegates promise to be spirited.
 There has been considerable discussion here today as to who will probably be temporary chairman of the convention. The sentiment seems to be for Congress- man George Washington Taylor of the first district. He is an able presiding off, ficer and is personally very popular.
 The name of Congressman Bankhead is also mentioned with favor. but it is understood that the gentleman from the sixth district would prefer to be perma- nent chairman.

Reasons for Collections.

There seem but two reasons for oppo- sitior to a convention. They are the fears that the tax rate may be raised and some Concessions disfranchised. It has been submitted that the record of the Legislature recently adjourned would hurt the convention idea. This was be- cause of the wildness of that body re- garding appropriations and other impor- tant legislation. Yet, there can not be found one among the members of that body who will vote to increase the rate of taxation.
 On the other hand, it has been sub mitted that the record of the General Assembly just adjourned will be strong argument for a convention. There seems to have been more tampering with local bills by unknown persons than ever De- fore heard of It is argued that this was occasioned largely by thefact that prac- tically no local measures are ever read at length in either House, but are passed through with such a rush that mem- Der seldom knows for what he is voting. To prevent this dangerous practice, there should be some constitutional limitation of local legislation in order that more time may be given to the enactment of just and needed laws.
 
 vention, the candidates for office are forg- ing to the front. To be the president of the convention to frame the organic laws of State is an honor probably never twice conferred upon any man, and the office is therefore sought by the most prominent men in the State. Hon. John B. Knox of Anniston, who has never be- fore sought public office, is a candidate from the State at large for delegate to the convention, and already assured of nomination, he is asking for the further high honor of president of the conven- tion. There seems very decided Knox sentiment in every section of the State, attributable first to the especial fitness | of the man to preside over the conyen- | tion, with honor both to self and the con- vention; and second, because he has ever been ready and loyal supporter of his friends who desire office while never be- fore asking honor for himself.
 Hon. Tennent LomaX of Montgomery is an avowed candidate for the presidency and is already assured of strong sup l port. The names of Gen. William C. Oates, Judge Richard W. Walker and Hon. Thomas L. Bulger are also men, tioned.

Who Will Be President?

A question, however far more inter- esting than the State convention chair manship, and one more generally discuss ed. is who will be the president of the constitutional convention. While the vote on the issue of convention" or mo convention" will not be had until April 23 there seems no reason to fear but that a convention will be ordered That there is opposition to the convention is readi- ly admitted, but there has been no at tempt to organize the opposition, and it would hardy prove effective unless or ganized.

Especial to News and Observer.)
NeWbern, N. c., Dec. 6.-Members of
the bar here think that the criticisms of
Solicitor Larry J. Moore, of Greenville,
for not trying at the November criminal
term Superior court, certain men in
Newbern, indicted at said term for run
ming slot machines are unjust.
The facts are that the bills were found
at the November criminal term on pre-
sentiments made at the August criminal
term. Inquiry develops the fact that
in Craven, as we'll as the other counties
sof the State, under the regular proceed
ure. the Dresentment is made at one
term bill is sent and found or ignored
at the next term. If found true capias
is issued, returnable TO the third term
and the case stands ready for trial at
such term. None of these cases stood
regularly for trial at the November
term. 1T is true that the solicitor car
rush the matter and try it earlier and
this is sometimes done in the high
crimes, and also in emergencies.
1t Is also true that any citizen can
swear out warrant before a judge. Jus
