Il SUIT AGAINST THE STATE.

The daily papers Of Tuesday printed
long complaint against the State of
North Carolina, made in the United
States Supreme Court Monday.
South Dakota is the complainant
and it is alleged that that State as
holder OF bonds issued years ago in aid
OF the Western North Carolina rail-
road, has not been treated right in the
refunding of the debt. An Injunction
against the collection of dividends in
the States stock In the North Carolina
railroad is asked.
South Dakota came into possession
OF the bonds through the gift OF
Simon Schafer, of New York, who do
nated the said bonds to South Dakota
tor the benefit of the State University
there.
The United States Supreme Court
will take the matter under considera-
ton.

WANTS CLAUDE'S JOB.

A special from Greanyille to the
Charlotte Observer tells of a letter
Harry Skinner has sent out to num-
Der OF Republicans asking them to
send him letter endorsing him to the
President for United States Attorney
for tie eastern district of North Caro-
lima. 1t is pointed out in the Green
Wills special that Claude Bernard was
recommended for the position he now
holds by Skinner himself.
Perhaps the chame.eon-ilke Harry
thinks sturn about is fair play" and
as he helped Bernard to the place it is
now time for the wheel to turn and
gi7e him (Skinner) a sitting at the
cash counter for awhile.

SCHLEYS TRIAL ENDED.

The Schley trial ended last week and
now the court of inquiry has COM
1nenced its work OF making up the
verdict.
The evidence is said to fill about two
thousand pages, and Admirals Dewey,
Benhan and Ramsay, who compose the
court, have quite tedious job before
them.
As we have said before, only one
verdict OF the court can accord with
the verdict 0: the people, and everybody
knows that IS n Schley's favor.

TILLERY FARM TO BE ABAN
DONED,

Raleigh Post I7th.
Mr.. J. B. Hackett, of the board Of
directors of the States Prison, return
ID Saturday from a trip with Mr.. w.
3. Crosland, who Is also member OF
he board, to the Tillery and Arson
State farms which they visited for the
purpose of inspecting crops and the
condition of affairs generally there.
He reports the cotton crop on these
two farms pannlng out very we'll indeed,
hat on the Tillery farm being decided
" the best in that section OF country
II anywhere In the State, for that mat.
Ter.
In referring to the State farms In a
general way Mr.. Hackett said that the
board had decided to abandon both the
Tillery and the Arson farms and cul-
tivate i'll future only the Caledonia
farm. The reason for this is that the
policy OF working large numbers OF
convicts On railroads makes it unneces-
sary to have these farms. Large num-
bers of convicts have been sent within
the past few weeks to Marion to work
on the road from Marion to Gran
berry.
The lease on the Tillery farm ex-
pires this yeag aud will not be renewed
while that on the Arson farm has not
expired the State will sub-let it and
thereby avoid the necessity of cul-
t;vating 1t with convict labor.
There was under cultivation last yea1
$500 acres of land in the I'lllery farm
aud probably about similar amount
on the Arson farm.
Mr.. Hackett and Superintendent
Mann, of the States Prison, will leave
Monday tor the Caledonia farm, which
they will officially inspect as they did
the Tillery and Arson farms.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN"

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use OF powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely
eaten away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced rrac-
titioner who has for many years made
a close study and speciality OF the treat
inent OF CATARRH, has at last per-
fected Treatment which when faith
fully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the
discharges, and curing all inflamma-
ton. 1t is the only remedy. known to
science that actually reaches the afflict-
ed parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "SNUFFLES the GUARAN-
TEED CATARRH CURE" and is

HOW ROOsEvELT'S PHYS
WORKS.

the insults and vaporings aimed at the
south because OF the Booker Washing
ton entertainment that the social equal
ity craze will not ramify the north at
present by being carried into active
application and expression. The fine
homes will not be thrown open to ne
gro guests la Roosevelt. The fine
churches will not hasten to call negro
ministers to become rectors and pastors.
The we'll dressed negro dudes will not
attend the dances with the swell four
hundred or the Goldfish aristocracy gen.
orally. The whole thing will end In
abusing the south and damning at
long range every lady IN the south who
would not invite Roosevelt to enter
her home. The south has had long
and informing experience with the ne
gro. The only people under the sun
who understands, who knows the negro
and ls really friendly to him is the
southern educated white men and par
tlcularly the whites who have lived in
the county and on farms with negroes.
The southern whites have knowledge
begotten of experience, and they alone
are competent to deal with the problem.
The northern whites and speakers be-
tray extreme blindness begotten ofig-
norance. They deal with the negro
problem neither as statesmen, philoso-
pliers, nor as Christians, They are
fanatical, unwise, inexperienced, ridden
by prejudice and PARADOX, and wildly
rush in" to injure, to mar, to disturb
where angels might hesitate long to
tread.

to resist that demand. BY every

Soreness in the chest follows and the
patient wonders if he is going to haye

Certainly not it he uses Perry Davis

Executive Department.
God reigns at all times and every
where. He is our comfort in every
hour of sorrow and our strength In
every day Of weakness. In this year
the nation was startled by the death OF
its President at the hands of an assassin.
He has given us strength to continue
our form OF government without trlc-
ton or danger, and has thereby made
1t incumbent upon us to turn towards
Him in hours OF trial, and those who
turn to Him always find strength. 1t
is needful, therefore, and proper that
we should set aside at least one day In
the year in which to express our graft.
tude to Him for past favors and invoke
His aid for the future.
I, Charles B. Aycock, Governor OF
the State of North Carolina, therefore
issue this my proclamation, setting
apart Thursday, November 28th inst,
as day Of Thanksgiving and Prayer
upon which day I urge all people to
meet in their respective places of wor-
ship and there thank God for the man
fold mercles which He has shown to
US Individually and as a people, and to
ask for His protection and guidance In
the future. / earnestly recommend
that on this day all our people shall
give as God has prospered unto those
who are needy, particularly the widows
and orphans.
Done at our city of Raleigh, this the
9Th day OF November, In the year ol
our Lord one thousand nine hundred

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

In view of the great number of mar
riages III the State between girls and
boys of illegal age, the Raleigh Post
makes the following pointed editorial
suggestion:
"Tbe number of marriages within
the past year of girls and boys under
:egal age and without parental consent
has, very properly, aroused serious
thought among people, and measures
to put stop to such youthful indls-
cretlons are being discussed.
IF the legislature will make 1t
nisdemeanor, punishable by fine ana
imprisonment, for any minister or mag
,strate to perform the marriage cere-
tnony Notwithstanding the issuance OF
,he license, without first procuring pos
tive evidence that both parties seeking
his services are of legal age or have the
consent of their parents or guardian,
we have no doubt stop will be put to
such proceedings, at least in this State.
Outside parties generally procure the
license from the Registers, and when
such swear that the persons seeking
the wedlock are of age it is unreasona-
ole to condemn the officers but the
minister or magistrate should also be
put on guard, or be required to demand
f the persons applying such satlsfac-
ton as will secure him against viola
uon of the law"

New York, July 31.--A package contain ing eighty-seven diamonds, was taken to the seizure room in the public stores to- day It was seized because it came through the mails and the law forbids importation of diamonds in such a way. The stones were cut, but unset. and their foreign value is said to be about S7,OOO. The duty on cut diamonds is 10 per cent advalorem. The package came from Antwerp via Berlin. If it is shown to the satisfaction of the treasury officials that the law was violated through ignorance the diamonds may be released dupon the payment of the duty and penalty.
