Amanda Dunston Dead.

Last night at 3 O'Clock Amanda Dun
ston the well-known restaurant keeper
under the market died. The immediate
cause of her death was paralysis, though
she has been in failing health for some
time. She was a sister of Nelson Dun
ston, the barber, and has by her indus
try and good management accumulated
quite an amount of property. Her restau-
rant was always we'll kept and had a
large country patronage. Once each year.
at Christmas, she gave dinner to the
police force of the city, and the meal
that she served on these occasions was
always the best that the market and good
cooking could make it. The announce
ment of her death will therefore be read
with genuine sorrow by large number of
people.

A BURNS PORTRAIT
To be Presented to the State
by Dr.. Battle.
Il is The Gift Of Capt. Burns Grandson and is
The Work Of Chase, New York's
Famous Painter.

The editor of the News and Obser-
er is indebted to Mr.. Walter Francis
Burns, of New York, for fine photograph
of his grandfather, Capt. Otway Burns.
The photograph is taken from a portrait
of Capt. Burns, done in oil by Chase the
distinguished New York portrait painter
The Chase painting is life size, of the
head and bust. In the distant background
is sailing ship. The picture was painted
by the artist after an oil portrait on
wood for a long time the property of
Mr.. Washington Bryan, of Newbern, and
is now on exhibition in that city. 1t was
there inspected by Col. John ID. Whitford
who saw the famous sea fighter. Col
Whitford says that when he saw Capt
Burns the privateersman was considerably
older than the portrait represents him.
but that the resemblance must be very
close to the man in his earlier days.
The painting will be sent to this city
in care of DR.. Kemp P. Battle, ex-presi-
dent of the University of North Carolina
and now professor of History in the in
stitution, and be presented to the State.
The presentation will be made by DR.. Bat
tie sometime in September and will be ac
copied on behalf of the State by Gov
error Aycock. 1t is yet undecided where
the portrait will hang but it will be in
some public building, probably in the
State Library which contains the por-
traits of so many famous North Caro-
linans or in the House of Representa-
tives of which body Capt. Otway Burns
was once member.
1t is in massive gold frame, the whole
being enclosed in a glass covered case
lined with plush The inscription on the
frame is as follows:
Capt Otway Burns, born ITO, died 1880.

School Book Question Settled.

All the book companies except Silver,
Burdette &c Company have filed with the
State their bonds and contracts. The
companies which have filed bond and con-
tract according to law, up to this date,
are the University Publishing Company,
the American Book Company, T. C. Heath
& Company, Newson & Company, and B.
F. Johnson & Company. Silver, Burdette
& Company write that their contract has
been signed and is on the way. No doubt
it will be received tomorrow. So the long
vexed book contest is now over and the
books to be used in the schools for the
next five years will be furnished by the
above named companies. The Governor
will issue a proclamation, announcing
this fact and giving the names of the
publishers, the books and the prices with
in the next few days.

is TUBERCULOSIS COMMUNICABLE?
(The Country Gentlemen.)

(The Country Gentlemen)
This is a vital question not only to all
dairy men but to all consumers of dairy
products The generally held view, ac-
cepted perhaps without the most thorough
investigation is that the disease can and
does pass from the bovine to the human
race, that the bacilli of diseased COWS,
taken into the human system in the form
of milk and even of butter increase and
multiply there, and finally in some cases
generate the disease in the human victim.
The general acceptance of this view has
led to innumerable precautions being TAX
en- by the State and by private persons to
protect mankind from this terrible
scourge. The effort has cost a great deal
of money, the lives Of vast numbers of
cattle, not to speak of the loss that has
resulted through distrust and anxiety on
the part of the public concerning the
healthfulness of dairy products.
Naturally, if this effort has been in vain,
if the disease cannot pass from the bovine
to the human race, the sooner we are
credibly informed of it the better. Some
two years ago, in the spring of 1899, DR..
Edward Moore, the Veterinary Editor OF
this journal, startled the medical frater-
nifty by announcing, in paper read be-
fore the Albany county Medical Society,
his belief that the disease is not so COM
municable. DR.. Moore supported his
statement, not perhaps by proof-proot OF
the differentiation, so to speak, OF the
bovine from the human bacillus being at
that time practically unattainable-but by
a great many facts from which his infer
ence might reasonably be deduced. He
had noticed that where cattle tuberculosis
was abundant, human, tuberculosis was so
rare as to bear no relation to it. that
where bovine tuberculosis was of frequent
occurrence, human tuberculosis was apt
TO be seldom found
Well. of course this was a somewhat
revolutionary announcement to be accept
ed without serious challenge. We pub
lisbed Dr. Moore's portrait that year
and we remember writing beneath it
.'perhaps the only investigator who does
not believe tuberculosis communicable
from cattle to man. And so the subject
rested.
Now it has been revived again, and the
advocate of the non communicability of
the disease from cattle to man is no other
than the renowned Dr. Robert Koch of
DcTllU, Tie QlSCONcItI VI eho Pi'NhiSiS
bacillus, the inventor of tuberculin.
baeteriologist whose Investigations GER
tainly place him in the front rank among
living scientists. Last week DR.. Koch
read paper before the British Congress
on tuberculosis, in London, in the course
of which he said his experiments had sat
isfied him that human tuberculosis and
bovine tuberculosis were radically differ
ent diseases, and that he had amply de-
monstrated that cattle could not be in
fected with human tuberculosis. The coun-
ter proposition, that human beings were
not liable to infection from bovine tuber-
culosis, was harder to prove, the doctor
said, owing to the difficulty of expert
menting upon human subjects, but that

personally he was satisfied that such was
the case.
So the student of bacterology has come
to the support of the practical veterina
rian; the experiments of the laboratory
tend to confirm the observations in the
cattle she'd Meat and milk DR.. Koch
is reported to have said, from cattle in
fected with tuberculosis may be consum
ed by human beings with absolute i'm
punity" That is a natural conclusion
from the premise, but it illustrates start
lingly the utter change of front on the
part of the public which the general ac-
ceptance of this opinion of DR.. Moore and
DR.. Koch would entail.

When the state board of land COM

state lands many people believed that
in purchasing such land they would
not have to pay more than SO per
acre, the lowest price allowed by law.
Such, however, is not the case. The
land will be sold for what it is worth
in excess of SO wherever such land
is sold. This applies especially to
timber land which in many instances
estimating the value of the timber, is
worth more than $40 per acre.

from the effects of two deep knife
thrusts in his back, and Ed Tobin, who
is charged with the crime, is held at

placed in the county Jail as witnesses
to the row that cost Foster his life.
