NEVADA SHOULD COOPERATE WITH RAIL
ROADS.

California papers are quite en-
thusiastic over the announcement
made by President Hayes of the
Southern Pacific Company of a
very low rate to California from
the East This rate is designed to
bring people to the West and once
here, the natural advantages
should prove sufficient to keep
them. Colonies will be establish
ed in many portions of California.
Mr.. Hayes draws larger salary
than does the President of the I'm
tied States and does not own a
single share in the road he con-
trolls. 1t is to be assumed that he
is worth the salary. He under
stands railroading. Thus far his
departures from former rules have
been in the line of improving the
situation; of increasing the effect
iveness of his system and in estab-
fishing more cordial relations with
the people of the Western States.
He is evidentally a broad-minded,
energetic man.
Now in view of these facts it
might be we'll for the Legislature
OF Nevada, instead of flirting with
the customary "cinch bills" against
the Southern Pacific, to depart
from precedent and have a con-
sultation through duly authorized
committee for that purpose, and
meet Mr. Hayes half way and as
certain what can be done about
the many grievances this State
has against the Southern Pacific.
There is the matter of terminal
point at Reno. Perhaps some new
industries might spring up with
favorable rates and railroad en-
enlargement.
Perhaps the railroad can and
will make concessions that will
better very large class of people,
and that will make whole COM
munities prosperous.
The people of the whole State
have no way of communicating
with Mr.. Hayes save through the
Legislature, and The Meas sug
gests that committee be appoint
ed to lay such matters before the
President of the Southern Pacific
as might properly be represented.
The Meas has no doubt that
such committee can accomplish
the granting of every reasonable
demand Nevada may make. There
is new policy in process of crys-
talization in Southern Pacific cir
cles, and Nevada will prove herself
unworthy OF any consideration if
she does not endeavor to take adj
vantage of it.
The interests of the people of
Nevada are the interests of the
railroad people. The more pros
porous we are the more traffic for
their lines
Let the people and the railroad
managers get together and discuss

sOLICITOR.HAMMER.

The Governor made no mistake when
he appointed Mr.. William c. Hammer,
of Randolph. as Solicitor of the Tenth
District. In fact, the character and fit
ness of all the candidates were such that
the Governor could have appointed
either of the applicants and received the
plaudit We'll done" 1t is seldom in a
contest where the candidates are so ex-
ceptionally worthy.
Mr.. Hammer is we'll known in the
State, having been for more than ten
years one of the leaders among the
young Democracy. He was delegate
to the National Convention at Chicago in
1896, has served a number of terms as
county chairman in Randolph, was a
leading candidate for the Congressional
nomination in the Fourth District in
1900, is the editor of the Asheboro
Courier, and is superintendent of
schools in Randolph county. Mr.. Ham,
mer has a large and growing practice
and is a successful and, capable lawyer.
He is a Democrat Of 1.-The most straitest
sect and no young man in North Caro-
lima has served the party more zealously
or unselfishly.

THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS..A ROM
ANCE OF THE WHITE MANS
BURDEN.

Thomas Dixon. Jr., the widely known
lecturer. who is a native of North Caro-
lima, but has lived both in New York and
Boston, and has therefore the advantage
of studying the Southern problem, both
at home and at a distance, has written
a strong novel of the Reconstruction Era
in the Southern States. 1t presents the
race problem from the Southern white
mans point of view, and is the most
dramatic story ever written about the
South.
1t gives a vivid picture of the desolation
CT the country, which will probably seem
exaggerated to the present generation of
readers; for it is now almost impossi-
bic to imagine any land so laid waste
and SO deprived of it's effective bread
winners as the South was in 1865.
Following this description comes the
NARRATIVES of the control of the State Gov
eminent by the worst element of society
Drawn from both sections of the country.
The debauchery of public offices which
took place in some of the Southern capt.
tails is almost Incredible. But the pic
ture Mr.. Dixon makes is taken from
actual records.
Following these stirring events comes
the period Of definite conflict between the
two races, when the negro. who as a
slave had lived in intimate association
withs the whites, becomes estranged and
hostile. This is the era of the risef of
the Ku-Klux. In fact one revolution fol-
lowed another with such startling rapid
ity that this period of our history per-
haps affords the most dramatic setting for
fiction that can be found.
beautiful love story runs through
the tragic events which keep the reader
alert as he is kept by the most dramatic
stories of Victo Hugo.
The point of view is that of Southern
white man, in regard to the question Of
Reconstruction and the relations of the
races, and the action is continuous.
The novel is SO skillfully constructed
that the development of the story, which
begins in 1865, brings it down almost
to the present day. 1t will be published
in chapters in a number of leading
dailies, beginning early in 1902 The News
and Observer is glad to inform it's $4,000
readers that it has made arrangements
to print this thrilling story in this pa
next month. The scenes are laid in North
Carolina. Those who have seen the ad-
vance sheets Of Mr.. Dixons novel be-
lieve that it will make as great a hit as

A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO ELON
COLLEGE.

The friends of Elon College and mem
bers of the Christian church are busy
during the holidays endeavoring to raise
$4,000 in order to secure a gift of $780,,
600 from Hon. F. Fl. Palmer, of New York.
Mr.. Palmer made a proposition few
weeks ago that if the church would raise
$12, 900 by December 31st he would give
$40, 900. The time being so short, lis re-
curing persistent effort on the part of
the church to raise this amount, but the
faculty and friends of the college are busy
at work and by the end Of this week the
entire amount will probably be in hand.
Mr. Palmer has felt a deep interest in
Elon College for several years, having
already provided in his will for an en-
dowment. He contemplates visiting the
institution in the spring if his health
will permit when it is hoped that his
interest may be, deepened. Elon College
has done a great work since its estab-
lishment ten years ago and is we'll wor-
thy of the gift which she is soon to re-
ceive Last year was the most success
full in it's history and this year bids fair
to be equally SO.

times. and in cumulative reasoning very

in debate, but we do not think he ever
mad drawn battle with any one.
In the canvass with General Saunders,
which was extremely able and intensely
exciting, Mr.. Miller established his SUI
premacy IN political learning, in mental
resources, in mastery OF the topics or
principles in hand. in high eloquence, in
power OF close augmentation and in hap
Ply replication. 1t was a war of political
giants. Saunders started with a thousand
majority, perhaps, and came near being
beaten. Before he left Washington, he
and several of his Democratic friends
IN the House were talking about the ap-
preaching campaign. One said that he ex-
pected to return with 5000 majority, an
other with 1000 and so on Saunders said
he thought he would be elected by II, 900
or more. When he returned to Washing
ton after the election, some of his same
friends rallied him upon the close shave
he Maidstone $50 majority or less. Tho
old political war horse" was equal to
the OCCASION Gentlemen" he said, q
did get back here, but had you run
against the man l did, you would never
have seen Washington again" General
Saunders had but little regard for the
niceties of speech. His grammar was not
faultlsss, and his pronunciation at times
was most marked. He generally said
thar" and ''whar," not to mention other
peculiarities of pronunciation. You for
get his provincialisms in the vigor and
boldness of his augmentation. He had a
robust intellect, and in addition to a great
fund of political information and much ia
cility and readiness in debate, he com
handed strong reasoning power, and
at times a rude, but very effective e1o-
quence His voice was penetrating me-
tallic and lusty.
Those were great times. Peace reign
ed throughout the land and prosperitS
was in all it's borders. The two parties
were patriotic, based on principles, and
contests were waged without such con-
slant appeals to the weapons of the dema-
kgogue as prevailed so much within our
borders from 1866 to 1898. The revenue
radical spouters and the mongrel small
beer tribe of political tramps and office
holders INDUCED without end in vaporings

ing to deceive. 1t was time Of shame
and moral intellectual degeneracy.

THE DISGUSTING MESS. +"

The Hartford Courant, referring to
the Presidents recent outbreak of
temper, says it is time to stop bunder-
ing" and says this whole disgusting
mess comes tout Of the refusal to give
Admiral Bunee the fleet which he ap-
piled for and adds:
But Bunce had once censured sub
ordinate and subsequently come under
him and Bunce had the high duty of
Quitting ships for others to command.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard did for him.
Had he been in charge at Santiago, the
Spanish fleet would have been disposed
of as surely as it was by commander
who was not quite so far away, and
there would have been no scandal nor
any feet under my command foolish
ness. One mistake is very apt to lead to
another. But it is time for the blund-
ers of this episode to cease"

HISTORICAL AND EDUCATIONAL
SIMPLY.

Roanoke Island is not the place to hold
an exhibit of commercial and national
productions. They are heavy, the freight
oil them costs great deal of money, and
il takes costly buildings in which to ex-
hibit them. But it is pre-eminently the
place, both on account of the beauty of
it's natural situation and it's extraordinary
associa tions, to hold an Educational and
Historic Exposition. 1t costs little money
to transport these exhibits and little
money for the buildings necessary for
their display. An exposition of this char
acter if the people are ready for it and
in earnest about it, can be had next
August as we'll as year later. This, OF
course, is based upon the supposition that
the people of the Sound country are really
in earnest and, want the exposition.

Heart trouble, at least among !he
Americans, is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the eX-
element and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, or poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
bic Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both or
gans are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pheumo-
gastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested focd. There is a feeling
of oppression and heavness in the chest
caused by pressure of the dstended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpita-
ton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contains valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments il a pleasant, convenient form
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
