Some Timely Advice about the Grip.

To the Editor
The grip is becoming an epidemic in diff
ferent parts Now when you feel the
symptoms don't fool with IL. lay MP
al home and take care of yourself Get
the best advice YOU know o. il you dont
feel equal to caring for yourself The
grip is treacherous ana attacks the weak
est parts. III an attack is not properly
taken care Of IL is liable 10 leave some
ether complication: one is also liable TO an
attack of pneumonia
The grip symptoms are; slight chills,
accompanied by frequent snecging' heat
and soreness Of the eyes and headaches
these followed by frequent saeeging, heat
and soreness at the ton OF che iarynN
along the course OF The windpipe with
hoarseness and dry cough fymg pains in
the back, knees, aud various parts of the
body; weight and anxiety in the region
Of the heart; depression of spirits togeth
er with sudden and extraordinary prostra-
tion OF strength OF course not all colds
during grip weather are really grip. Tho
typical symptom of grip is the intense
prostration that comes with it.
1t is contagious, The grip bacillus lux
uriates in moisture but cannot stand the
effects of the sun An hours exposure 90
direct sunlight viii kin the influenza
bacilli Havo as little association as
possible with those suffering from the
grip The affection is more contagious
in the early-stagc OF the disease than
later. When coughing and sneezng are
frequent the haclh are forcibly elected
and scattered in the surrounding air Or.
Cyrus Edison of New York gives the
following on how TO avoid the grip: Keep
iry. warm and well fed. II is moro
important TO keep the feet dry and warm
than any other part Of the body.
Get a fun eight hours sleep, and take
cold sponge bath on arising. II you can
stand It, II YOU can't stand the bath hire
a masseur II you can't afford massage.
have the body well rubbed down.
Avoid excesses of all kinds. especially
In eating and drinking, but don't go
too long without food.
This is all very good advice. To It
7 would add, that as all colds mean con-
eestions remove or release the conges-
tions by as natural methods as possible.
Get good sweat as best you can. Hero
would be the value OF hot air cabinet
bath, See that the eliminating activities

II you take enough care to maintain a
good standard Of general health and your

will be in no danger Of getting down with
the grip Don't let your vital forces
temporarily run down. or YOU may be a
victim That explains why some persons
generally accounted well and strong get
a disease. Those with a reserve force

Trust Legislation Demanded.
L. l. MURDOCH.

Ashevine n. c.. January 80, 1900.
TO the Editor
want to ask YOU, or through you
anybody that can with some au-
thority, correctly premise or presumab-
ly so at least as to wuat will likely be
the work Of the Legislature as il relates
TO Trusts. What is the last
State political pronunciamento, ard
at all the members OF the present Leg
islature TO its tenets? The canvass this
year prohibited the discussion of po-
ltcal questions devotng itself entire
ly TO the constitutional amendment.
This being so. the Legislature Of two
years ago, If the platform on which it
was elected was applicable now, left
some unfinished business on hand for
the present Legislature. If there is moth
ing else TO which action In ac-
cordance with the expressed wishes Of
the people may be directed, it is TO
that Legislatures action, or non ac-
tion In the matter of our Antitrust
Law.
The canvass preceding the election OF
two years aso was made with loud and
vehement denunciations OF trusts The
Gitterest and most scorch!ng words
We're uttered against them by Mr.. Craig
our representative then and our repre-
sentative now In fact tWo-thrds of
Mr.. Craig'3 speeches were i'm opposition
to trusts.
In view OF the position that the Demo
cratic part9 took two years ago-before
then and now, is il not a little repre-
hensible that in the Legislature Of two
~
though humble member of that party.
Mr. Stevens, should have been brought
TO naUght by the opposition OF that par
tvs representative and influential mem-
bsrs then in the Legislature? That these
leaders OF the Democratic party should
have openly opposed or confused and
confounded MIR Stevens by questions
and objections, finally laughing him out
OF court is very much more to their
credit as successful legislators for
those they served t'2u it is an earnest
servant of good faith to those who
trusted and elected them and TO those
who have honored them with leadership
in the party.
That Mr.. Stevens an obscure and UNI
known man Cthis not in disparagement
should have had to bring forward a bin
of this kind at ali. when there We're
those around him who were and had
been FOR years, the leaders Of party
that denounced and condemned trusts
on all occasions and at all timcs-I say
that The necessity for Mr.. stevens to
bring forward such bin should not
have existed at all. The bill should
have been in the hands Of Inc leaders
OF the Democratic party. brought for
ward by them. supported and passed by
them. and that such bill was not pass
ed by these leaders is a piece of mega
tiye political infamy unanswered and
unansWerable.

DR.. Hoge's Habits.
CDanville Rcgistcr.)

tDlnville Rcgistcr.)
There is a wide difference OF opinion
among people as to the habit Of regularity.
Quite a number OF people believe IN hav-
ing certain hour to retire. to get up and
for meals and we believe this class rs
in the majority. gentleman who has
made study Of the custom how
ever. regards 1t as a piece OF folly He
says have had the advantage Of rcgu-
lar habits preached to me all my life, but
my own have always been irregular. both
from choice ana necessity. and / have
always enjoyed excellent health. The
system becomes accustomed 10 habits
which are regularly irregular as well as
those which are simply regular. ! never
knew a man with more irregular habits
than the late Or Moses ID Hoge, the dis
tinRuisncd Presbyterian minister Of Rich
mond. yet he enjoyed excellent health up
TO his death, at the age of 80 which was
the result of an accident Hc made it
rule never 20 take breakfast at the same
hour twice In succession One morning
he would breakfast a. and the next
day at TO- Frequently he would 90 with
out any breakfast He WIS just as irre-
gular IN his other meals He took cxer-
else as he felt inclined. and II not he
would take life easy by the use OF
rocking chair, lie had no rules as 10
diet Eo would drink Wine on occasion,
like all The old school ministers, although
he was a model Of temperance. He was
a coffee nend and used tobacco. lie had
no regular hour for going 70 bed, and
would often sit up all night When he
did this he invariably smoked half
dozen strong cigars and drank a cup Of
strong coffee Some years ago he made a
tour through the Holy Land with a large
party. Many Of tho PARTY who we're what
are ordinarily called creatures Of habit
were made sick b. the irregular habits
Of travel Dr Hoge however was never
ill a moment
The same thing IS shown 10 be true
in an army. whore the city men always
enjoy better health and exhibit more en-
durance than the men from the country
Il IS simply due 70 the matter Of habit
The country men are creatures Of regular
habits, while as "a rule the city men are

tionment is fer ten years and think of
Durham's future.
Senator Morton said that he did not put
New Hanoyer's claim on the ground OF
Durham's assertion. All he asked was
that the citizens who were temporarily
absent from Wilmington last June be
counted now. The people Of Wilmington
found their act necessary in the interest
Of white supremacy. He was asking this
as matter of justice to Wilmington
Would the Senate, because Wilmington
found it necessary to drive out for the
time 10000 or 10000 citizens and save
their homer and homes punish and de-
prive Wilmington of one representa-
tive? Had not that city suffered enough?
Senator AcNeill said this discussion
proved the wisdom of the committee in
following the census. The committee did
not dare to deviate He wished he could
help New Hanover but he saw no way TO
90 50.
ANOTHER VOICE FOR WILMINGTON,
Senator GIdger said if 6 representative
was taken from BuncoMbc lie wanted II
given to that great comfy of New Hon
over. Ne did not understand the Senate
was hcand absolutely by the census. He
thought tile Senate should take Judicial
notice Of the lanentaDie condition that
injured Wilmington. The Populists are
only s party of spoils, ready to join with
any party to get an office. They are only
the tail Of the Republicans now. In the
last election the remnant of that party
assisted the Republicans in every way
possible 10 thwart the white neople.
senator Woodard said the cnly safe
course was 10 follow the census. as had
been done b. the committee. He sympa-
thized and appreciated the action OF the
brave men Of New Hanover. but this is
not the tine or the place for political
speeches and he did not expect TO make
one in this entire session. The people Of
Sampson are good people if they are Pop
ulists Besides the Democrats Of SaInp-
son should not suTer because Of the mis-
fortune oS being oyerrm by Popuis1s-

Working Public Roads by Taxation

70 the Editor:
II is Of much Importance to the whole
people of Wake county to have good roads
10 the farmer who has his produce 10
market 10 tho consumer who has from
products 10 buy and to the dealer who has
goods 10 sell. and to no class are good
roads Of greater benefit than the latter.
The old way Of working the public roads
has been tried and found wanting. another
system should be devised The man with
cut property has not so much interest
in the roads as the man who has prop
eri. Those who own the soil and the
sock should contribute more towards
making the roads goods than those who
have neither.

able way 10 work public roads Is By tax

which one can have good reads, when

the census was wrong any more than in
other counties. but a peculiar situation
applied to New Hanover. Before the
Boston tea party the people of New Han
over had run out the British tax collec-
tor. When Eastern Carolina was under
negro rule the good people Of Wilmington
came to the rescue of their homes and
iireside and guarded their property with
their rifles When a negro paper SIAN
dered the fair women the brave men went
in broad day light and destroyed and
burned that building. Then when the
negroes made an assault and spilled white
blood. the Anglo Saxons arose and per-
feeted a revolution, which caused the re-
storation of white government and kindled
the fires that swept the State Democrat

and thousands of negroes. He read from

not left New Hanover would have 81 600
