ThomasvilIe will give majority for
graded schools next Monday, and that
Lexington will give "a decided majority"
1t adds:
IF this prediction is true it will be the
best days work Lexington has ever done
for herself materially, morally and finan-
cially. Why not make it unanimous and
show the world that we are a wide
awake, progressive people?"
The Wilkesboro Chronicle tells of a
singular baptism in that county. 1t says:
1--WE learn that j. A. Sebastian, of Rock
Creek, is very low with pneumonia-per-
haps dead by now. Saturday he told his
people he must die and wanted to be
baptized They made box, filled it with
water and baptized him. Sunday he was
no better; we have not heard since then"
I'VE have heard of no cattle being kill
ed in any of the near by mountains by
the recent blizzard. Abe Harshaw
brought in about 40 head to feed that
looked q little the worse for wear and
tear" says the Cherokee Scout "Our
climate is ideal for stock raising"
1.-The disease prevailing at Bellview,
this county, is the same that is at Duck
town, as it was carried to the latter
place by John Whitmore, of Bellview. We
are not prepared to say what it is, but it
has been pronounced by doctors at Duck
town as small pox, while one physician
says it is "impetigo." The disease, at
any rate, is contagious and some of those
afflicted with it have been very near
deaths door" says the Cherokee Scout.
1t would be wise to regard it as smallpox
and vaccinate. ut is better to be safe
than to be sorry
"Our Governor is being held up as a
shining example" says the Asheville
Citizen. eff he had gone to dance at

he would not have seen the northerners.
Is there any North Carolina citizen who
will criticise the Governor for keeping
his enga gement with the Northern men,"
Judge Jones, the new judge of this
district. is creating a favorable impress

1--WE suspect" says the Wilmington
Messenger, that McLaurin's revealed
intention, as given by one of the anti
Bryan Democratic papers, not to start
another Republican party but only
Cleveland party, will not pan out sue
cessfullly. He may get hungry, disap-
pointed, disgruntled politicians who are
out of job and he may gather into his
fold many editors who fought against
Bryan in 1896, but he will hardly divide
or destroy the grand old party"

three ear-old child was thrown from
the wagon when the bridge broke, and
the boy who was driving stopped the
team just in time to prevent the hind
wheel running over the childs head
Several stitches were necessary on the

side being nearly torn off. Mr.. Lewis
states that he had previously warned
the county commissioners of the danger
Gus condition of the bridge but they had
neglected to have it repaired. An ex-
animation of the structure showed that
the wood work underneath had nearly

nothing to hold them. 1t is a wonder

First Submarine Cable.

Which was made from an ordinary wire,
insulated with gutta percha, was laid
across the English Channel about fifty
years ago. 1t was also about the same
time that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the world renowned dyspepsia cure, was
first introduced to the public; and it's
success as a family medicine during
those years almost eclipses that of the
submarine cable, while today it stands
alone as the one reliable remedy for
dyspepsia, indigestion, fatulency, con-
stipation, biliousness, nervousness or
insomnia. If you are sufferer from
these diseases, it is because you have
never tried the Bitters. Try it at once,
if you would be well. 1t will strengthen
your entire system, and produce sound
sleep, and good health must naturally
follow

Mrs. WiIsey MAY Prosecute

In the SLIGO damage suit of Mrs.
Helena WiIsey against Former Judge
VIM. Mcdonald, in which Judge Jacobs,
in McDOnald's time, shut the plaintiff
out by an order requiring her to furnish
bonds for costs, Judge Chadwick has
ruled that this is not necessary, and she
is free to prosecute the case. The com
plant is that Mcdonald induced her to
come from Pennsylvania at her own ex-
pense because, it is alleged, the former
Judge claimed he had in his possession
$500 of funds OF an estate due her, but
that it could only be turned over to her
in person. Mrs. Wilsey claims she found
upon arrival that Mcdonald had no
such money, and that bis only reason
for inducing her to come was to secure
evidence from her against his political
enemies

Mrs. James Ewart, wife of Postmaster
Ewart, was painfully injured Saturday
evening by fall on detective sidewalk.
Capt. and Mrs. Ewart were walking just
in front of the electric light station,
when Mr.. Ewart stepped on q loose
board. The opposite end flew up and
threw the lady heavily to the walk,
badly bruising her and breaking one rib
on the left side. She is recovering nicely,
though kept to her room as yet. While
this is not likely to result in a damage
suit against the city, the deplorable con
dltlon of the town walks should receive
the attention of the council.

CLIFFORD CONVICTED
Sentenced For An Additional
Year i'm Prison.
Court Seemed To Think He Was
Not The Chief of the Wheat
Thieves.

VIM. Clifford was found guilty by the
jury in his case, Wednesday, on the first
ballot. The jury was out but 10 min
utes when it decided, after patiently
listening to the evidence for 10 days,
that he was guilty of the larceny OF
wheat from the Shawnee warehouse, of
which he was managing agent.
At three O'Clock Wednesday Clifford
was arraigned before Judge Mil er
and was given one year in addition to
his former penitentiary sentence of three
years on a previous conviction for theft
OF barley from the same house. The
court intlmated that his sympathy for a
man who is down, and a feeling that
Clifford was a tool, rather than a prin-
cipGl in.the steal, would not permit him
to condemn the prisoner to longer
term. The prosecuting attorneys felt
their duties and responsibilities ended
with a verdict so clear cut and also gave
evidence by their bearing that it was
rather the opiOnion of that office also
that Clifford was not the chief in
the steal and did not insist or a
heavy penalty. The prosecution was
conducted by Mr.. Neergaard and Nj. o..
Reed.
Hanna K Hanna, for the defense, i'm
mediately raised the point that their
notice of appeal to the supreme court
took the prisoner out of the jurisdiction
of this court. They applied for liberat-
ing bonds and entered objection to
Clifford's return to the penitentiary, from
whence he was taken to face this trial.
Both the motion and objection were
over ruled by Judge Miller and Clifford
was taken back to the prison Thursday.
His departure leaves the county jail
without an occupant, the first time since
Whitman county had Jail.
