UNCLE TOM
IS INJURED
Knocked Down on
Fort Street
by Horse.

Poor old Tom Cummings. the venera-
bic kamaaina 50 well known in the bust
ness district, was run over yesterday
afternoon about o'clock, by a horse at
tached to a buggy belonging to the Kona
Coffee Company. and quite badly injured
He was taken to the hospital in the
patrol wagon. where it was found he
had sustained bad cut on the left side
of his head. while his fingers were
MANNED, and he complained of a sore
ness in his left shoulder His wounds
were dressed and he was made quite
comfortable in short time. The old
man was rolled about in the mud at the
time of the accident, until he was almost
unrecognizable. Friends rushed to his
assistance. and gave him every aid.
The rig which did the damage was
driven by a young man named John
stone. He had just alighted from the
buggy in front of the coffee store on
King street opposite the Young build
ing, and went to the rear of it to get
out the hitching rope. AS he did so the
horse bolted. tombstone grabbed the
lines, but as they were wet with rain
they slipped through his hands, and the
horse started on a dead run toward Fort
street. Instead of continuing across, the
animal turned short into upper Fort
street. Mr.. Cummings was just stepping
from the curb to the street the flying
steed came around. Before he could be
warned by those who saw his danger he

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.

1t Can Only Be Had Where There Is
No Dandruf.
Any man or woman who wants soft,
glossy hair must be free of dandruff,
which causes falling hair. Since it has
become known that dandruff is a germ
disease the old hair preparations that
were mostly scalp irritants have been
abandoned and the public, BARRIERS and
doctors included have taken to using
Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair prep
aration that kills the dandruff germ.
Z. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D.. says: Her
picide not only cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and prevents the hairs falling
out, but promotes a new growth. Her
picide keeps my hair very glossy"

HIGH APPRECIATION OF NORTH
CAROLINA'S JACKSON.

James Parton, a northern Journalist
and author, settled for all time the
question Of President Andrew Jack
sons birthplace. He is a native of
Union county, North Carolina General
Jackson was beyond fair question a
man Of remarkable abilities. He was
a soldier Of high merit, and he even
won the praise of British writers by his
bravery and humanity at the import
ant battle Of New Orleans. His vic
tory there was a splendid one and
gained over some of the heroes Of the
British army who had won fame on
other hard foughten battle fields"
General Jackson was one Of the great
est military men of our country, prior
to the coming upon the great scene of
conflict. p~rotracted throughout so many
years., of Lee and 10. Johnson and Bed
ford Forrest n "StonewalT' Jackson.
BIackwood's Magazine used to be a
most pronounced Tory organ, and may
continue to be So, but it had apprecia-
ton of North Cardinals illustrious son
Andrew Jackson, and SO expressed it
self. Writing of his noble bearing af-
ter victory, it said this.
General Jackson behaved with hui
mainly and generosity to all his pris-
oners, which did him as great honor as
his conduct in the defence. We do not
hesitate to call him a great man. I'm
appalled, by the landing of a formidable
army of British veterans. DE infused
new courage into the hearts of his
countrymen, naturally brave; the dang
er was great, but the Americans under
him had no fear OF even Sucn a foe.
Strong is their position. a nfile-long line
full Of men, it was found impregnable,
not because Of cotton-bags only and
and parapets. but because OF patriots
deadly aim with steady hands, keen
yes and stern hearts-invinCible they
stood-unerring marksmen, whatever
were their numbers. with a comman-
der endowed with a genius for war,
and in all respects equal to the glorious
duty he had taken upon himself in his
country's cause"

North CaroIfna's Corn Crop

Present indications point to high
priced corn for a year to come. 1t is
now as high as it was in 1894, when the
crop came SO near failure. The esti-
mates of the corn crop to August 1 by
the national department of agriculture
indicate a loss by drouth during July
of $50, 600, 900 bushels, nearly one-thiri
of the total crop of last year. Stated
in percentage, the condition is "a, COM
pared with S7k August 1 of last year
and 50 August 1, 1894. OF course it is
a good while before the crop natures,
and when it is pulled it may be better
than now appears; but there can be no
doubt that at best it will be abnormal
ly short; SO our North Carolina farm
ers who may have to buy may depend
upon paying a round price. That some
of those who have not been in the habit
of doing so may have to buy is not i'm
probable. There is no corn. or practi-
cally none. on the river n creek bot
toms in those sections Of the state
which suffered by flood in the early
summer. To compensate in q measure
for this loss the upland corn which has
been worked is uncommonly fine, n
the crop is nearly made, though 1t will
be the better for occasional rains I'M
til the fodder is pulled. In those parts
of the state which were not overfiowed
corn and all other crops are reported
as in magnificent condition, and in this
there is hope hat North Carolina as a
whole will not need to buy much of
any kind of the products of the earth.

TAKES THE DOSE WITH A wRY
FACE.

The Messenger has never favored
laws of the character of compulsory
education and for reasons it has set
forth. 1t is not democratic or southern
but federal and New England. The
Charlotte News is pleased to say:
1.-THE Wilmington Messenger strenu-
ously opposed such a measure, but the
Messenger has. since the legislature
adjourned, seen the error of it's ways
and now thinks compulsory attendance
is n of the necessities to stamp out
illiteracy."
1t accepts the undemocratlC measure
simply in preference to stopping the
common schools. Of two evils it selects
the lesser as less dangerous and less
disastrous. With a large proportion
Of the two races for whom the whites
are taxed refusing steadfastly 10 avail
themselves of the benefits of the schools
created and sustained by others for
them, it becomes necessary to either
discontinue the tax or to impose COM
pulsion. The latter is very bad, and
the necessity is to be depiored, but one
remedy is needed to reduce the ire
mendous illiteracy in North Carolina,
and to remove a stigma and a stain
from it's escutcheon. A free govern
ment like u w is based Upon the
supposed virtue, intelligence and NOR
ality OF the people. With negroes show
ing between five and six per cent. in
crease. and the whites showing only
some two per cent. it is high time that
better schools were furnished and the
children between certain ages be re-
quired to attend. Do not allow fac
tories to interfere with the health and
schooling of the children. The Mes
senger takes compulsory education as
an extreme measure-aS a delicate

CLEANING AND COMMENT.

The governor of Wisconsin, LaFal-
lette, has stirred up a hornets nest in
his state. He has split his own party,
and the fight is heavily on 1t Is all
because Of Executive usurpation and
wrong doing. The governor is inter-
fering with legislation. The majority
OF the republican members have issued
a stirring address denouncing his ex-
cellency. The signers have opened head
quarters in Milwaukee and are organ
izing for a campaign. There is tee
much tendency in this country on the
part of the President and Governors to
interfere with legislation and to die
tate policies
William L: Vanderbilt is i'm London
and he says that inherited riches bring
no happiness. He is reported as saying:
my life was never destined to be
quite happy" the millionaire IS quoted
as SAYING bitterly. 1T has laid on lines
which I could foresee almost fIom the
earliest childhood. 1t has left me with
nothing to hope for. with nothing def
mite to seek or strive for"
Inherited wealth, yes was the de-
cided answer. 1T is as certain death
to ambition as cocaine is to mortality.
If a man makes money, no matter how
much, he finds a certain happiness in
it's possession, for in the desire to in
crease his business he has constant use
for it, but the man who inherits It has
none of this
1t is an old story. None but a misei-
ly soul can find true happiness in money
The elder William H. Vanderbilt, as
we recall it, talking with a friend not
long before he died so suddenly, seated
in his rich parlor in his $4,000, 900 palace
in New York City, that he had no ad-
vantage really over his friends of S.
600, his own wealth being some $780,
100000. He said: 81 wear a little finer
coat. live in a more costly home, and
have more of splendor on the dining
table. But I am forced to the plainest,
simplest diet. 1 am taxed and worried
all the day long by anXieties and bust
ness details. I have really no pleasure

THE EDICI
As to Importation of Arms Into China
Unsatisfactory to the Powers.

Pekin, August 2S.-The imperial edict
f%orbidding the importation Of arms
and munitions of war is not satisfac-
tory to the foreign ministers. 1t ig-
nores the vital fact that the prohibi-
ton applies to the government and that
it is part Of the Chinese punishment.
The edict makes it appear to be mere
ly the governments voluntary act,
prohibiting Chinese subjects from i'm
porting arms and munitions as the
country is disturbed by %brigands.
Later in the day it was announced
that the ministers had decided to ac-
cept the edict, but to omit the first
paragraph in publishing it as art Of
the appendix to the protocol.
1t is understood that the British min
lister, Sir Ernest Satow proposed to re-
