Meeting Of Army Board in Washington to
Select New Posts.

What has become of the Army Post
for Raleigh?
The Chamber Of Commerce and Raj

abandon a number of old army posts and
to esta blish new ones, began it's sessions

The Morning Session.

The court attempted an earlier start
by fifteen minutes this morning, but it
was 9:25 O'Clock before the third day of
the trial began, with the schedule slow
er one than last year.
Eight additional witnesses for the
plaintiff were first sworn, these being
Messrs. l. M. Ream, of Durham; Robert
Holloway, of Durham Mr. L. w. Girls
som. of Durham; Rev. F. D. Swindell, of
Coldsboro: Mai. j. w. Graham. of Hills
boro; Mr.. B. c. Beckwith, of Raleigh;
Judge G.. A. Stanford, of Asheville, and
Robert Terrill, OF Durham.
Messrs Ream and Holloway testified
to the good character of Mr. Gattis, whom
they had known for many years, and in
whose store in Durham they had seen no
unseemly or un- Christianlike conduct at
any time. They had seen copies of the
pamphlet complained of in. circulation,
and on ross-examination said that they
knew that many Methodists lived in
Durham.
Rev. F. D. Swindell testified that he
knew the character of Mr.. Gattis to be
good. That an effort had been made to
adjust the differences between Mr..
Gattis and DR.. Kilgo through Revs. w. s..
Rome, r. B. John, N. M. Jurney and
himself, but that this finally fell through
because of the refusal to furnish Mr..
Gattis with copy Of statement which
DR.. Kilgo had agreed to read at the
Conference; that to the first agreement
Gattis had dcmurred because of GER
tain term; that Kilgo agreed to it's
change; that Gattis was not asked to
sign, but that he did refuse to give a
copy to Gattis.
On cross examination he said there
were four copies of the agreement, one
with him, one each with Kilgo, Rome and
Jurney, and that while there was no
formal action it was understood that
Gattis was not to have a copy. A col
porteur, he stated, need not be a preach
er. He did not believe it would have
been difficult to secure a. committee in
the conference to do justice between
man and man. AS to Gattis' character
being held up in the conference, he knew
nothing. except that it was understood
that it was passed pending the settlement
of the case of Gattis VS.. Kilgo in the
courts.

ist church regarding church trials, the
questions of the defendants attorneys
concerning the matter of Clark and Kill

Wake Forest Agrees to Postponement Until
Friday of Next Week.

The debate between Wake Forest and
Trinity has been postponed until Friday
of next week.
The Witness of the Trinity debaters,
who are suffering from vaccination, news
of which was told in yesterdays paper,
made necessary the postponement of the

this city tonight.
The Wake Forest debaters gracefully
yielded to Trinitys request and yester-
day President Wood of the Chamber of
Commerce, was notified of the action.
Arrangements were made to have the de-
bate Friday Of next week and the Acad-
envy of Music has been secured for the

rules, was ruled out on exceptions by
the plaintiffs attorneys.
On the redirect examination after be-
ing questioned as to Mr.. Gattis' state
ment that he could not obtain fail
trial before the conference, Mr.. Swim
dell testified that at the annual confer
ence of the Methodist church held ter
days after the verdict in the Gattis-
Kilgo suit. resolutions were adopted, ex-
pressing confidence in and sympathy with
DR.. Kilgo; that he did not think Gattis
was present the first day, but that his
character was passed upon, with two OF
three noes by the conference.
In referring again to the settlement OF
the question between Gattis and Kilgo,
he said that he did not remember telling
Gattis that Revs. John, Rome and DR..
Miller had not assented to his, Gattis,
having COPY.
He acknowledged that he had received
dozen pamphlets cont aiming the Kilgo
speech, but that he had not read all of
Kilgo's speech
Being asked If there was a >laW
in the church by which a member who
was damaged in character could receive
pecuniary damages, he said there was
co!.
For eight or ten years." he said,
"Gattis had been colporteur, and it
was to the advantage of a colporteur to
be preacher. II know of no in
stance in North Carolina where a col
porteur had not been a preacher"
On re-cross-examination he said that
Gattis was appointed by the Bishop as q
colporteur, not the firm of r. j. Gattis
& Son.
Just here Major Jno. w. Graham, of
Hillsboro, was introduced and proved, a
good character for Gattis, whom he had
known for over forty years Had not
seen pamphlet till in court. His evil
dence that he had read Kilgo's speech in
q newspaper was ruled out, until it could
be shown that defendants had been con-
nected with its publication.
Judge Shuford, of Asheville, was the
next witness called, and his testimony
was as last year, perhaps little strong
err. The questions asked him were OBJ
jected to by defendants counsel, but they
were allowed
Being asked: do you know of the
character of John c. Kilgo with respect
to his being manipulation and wire
puller in South Carolina" he said
Yes, think I know it in the respects
mentioned in Spartanburg and have some
knowledge of it in other parts of South
Carolina
This answer was objected to, and Judge
Winston then questioned Judge Shuford
upon his source of knowledge, which was
given as from ladies and gentlemen in
Spartanburg, some OF whom were from
other places; that he had heard people
give instances in which he had manipu-
lated certain measures. Just here he
was asked:
Did you not marry in South Carolina ?"
Judge Shuford said: mo, and / want
to correct this statement, as never said
so. l was married in Rome, Ga. Ny
wife has relatives in Spartanburg. /
took her there in 1894 when she was sick,
and was there frequently during her
sickness where / heard much of Kilgo.'
Coming back to the question of Kilgo's
character as asked in the question, which
the court allowed, Judge Shuford said:

it is certainly true that more than halt
of all cases of poor hearing were caused
by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds it's way into the Eustachian
tube and by clogging it up very soon af-
fects the hearing, and the hardening OF
the secretion makes the loss of bearing
permanent, unless the catarrh which caus-
ed the. trouble is cured.
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this little far fetched, but any
one at all observant must have noticed
how hard cold in the head will affect
the hearing and that catarrh if long neg
lected will certainly impair the sense of
hearing and ultimately cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions
of catarrh, the hearing will at once great
ly improve any anyone suffering from
deafness and catarrh can satisfy them
selves on this point by using fifty cent
box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new
catarrh cure, which in the past year has
won the approval of thousands of catarrh
sufferers, as we'll as physicians because
it is in convenient form to use, contains
no cocaine or opate and is as safe and
pleasant for children as for their elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination of Blood root, Guaia-
col, Eucalyptol and similar antiseptics
and they cure catarrh and catarrhal deaf
ness by action upon the blood and mucous
membrane of the nose and throat
AS one physician APPLY expresses it:
You do not have to draw upon the i'm
agination to discover whether you arc
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets; improvement and relief are appa-
rent from the first tablet taken"
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any catarrh sufferer who
has wasted time and money on sprays,
saves and powders. will appreciate to the
fuii the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets.

TAX ON HORSE DEALERS.
Only One License is Necessary to do Business
in the State.

State Treasurer Lacy has had under
consideration the question as to whether
or not horse trader is liable for tax in
more than one county.
A sheriff recently wired that horse
trader with a license granted in another
county was doing business in his county,
and he wanted to know if the horse deal
er would be required to take out license
in his county. Treasurer Lacy referred
the matter to the Coronation Commission
and it was agreed that only one license
could be required of horse dealer.

What Causes Deafness,
The Principal Cause is Durable but GENERALLY
Overlooked,

Many things may cause deafness, and
very often it is difficult to trace a cause.
Some people inherit deafness. Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness. But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat &s.l ..t.'. ~
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases of deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably ver-stated, but

During June and July last this paper
printed two interviews with ex-senator
Fab Whitaker, of Wake, on the cotton
outlook. When some people in Raleigh
were declaring that the crop would be
as large as ever, Mr. Whitaker stated
that with good reasons after July, the
best crop that could be made in Wake
would be sixty per cent, hut that he did
not believe it would reach more than
fifty per cent. He was in Raleigh yes
terday and said the crop is something
under so per cent, taking Wake county as
a whole.
Consul Monaghan, of Chemnitz, writing
under date of October IL, 1901, notes as
illustrating the successful efforts of Ger
man traders to win South American mar
kets, recent transaction with firm in
Chile. The company imports annually
hundreds OF thousands of Kilograms of
cotton yarn in tubes, and Has decided to
obtain the yarn from Chemnitz, instead
of from England, as formerly. The con-
sui thinks that United States nlanufac-
turers should be in position to compete
for the cotton yarn market of South
America. He says:
1T seems strange that German manu-
facturers can buy American cotton in
Liverpool and elsewhere, pay enormous
freights, bring it to this city-almost 800
miles from the sea-work it up into cops
and reship it to Chile The success of the
Germans may be due to the longer credits
they give everywhere. Germans have an
exact knowledge of the market and the
individuals with whom they are dealing.
1t is my belief that our system of quot
ing +. o. b. New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, ETC.. is serious drawback to our
foreign trade An importer of grain told
me not long ago that it was impossible
for him to deal direct with the United
States, as he had to pay when goods were
put on the vessel in New York; further,
he received all the Hungarian grain he
could dispose of laid down in Chemnitz,
and paid for it on time. The Germans
give long credits and expect them in re-
turn"
