TRIAL OF WILLIAM MARTIN
Ex-Clerk of the North Carolina state
Treasury.

Ex-Clerk of the North Carolina State
Treasury.
RALEIGH, April 4.-The trial of Major
William H. Martin, defaulting ex-c1erk
of the state treasury, only occupied an
hour in the superior court here. The
Indictment was SO drawn as to charge
that Martin embezzled funds of the state
as state officer, the minimum penalty
being 20 years in the penitentiary; Sec
ond, that he embezzled funds held in
trust for state institution, maximum
penalty ten years; third, embezzlement
under the general law.
The judge directed the jury to return
a verdict of guilty under the second and
third sections of the Indictment, and
said he would consider whether the
fund embezz'ed was state fund or not
before imposing sentence.
Attorney General Gilmer prosecuted,
aided by two attorneys, while Martin
had two attorneys. The latter stated
that Martin admitted the embezzlement
of So, 800, but that it was penitentiary
funds in bank and not state funds, and
that Martin was not state officer.
The state alleged that Martin has en-
bezzled at least $4,000.
Ex- Treasurer Worth, Treasurer Lacy,
Bank President Joseph G. Brown and
others were witnesses.

to be baseless.

AN ARTIFICIAL SENSATION

No Political Significance to BE At

PARIS, April Am official of the

the departure of the Russian warships

that the Russian squadron had never

SYMPATHY FOR THE BoERs
British Minister Openly Insulted on
the Continent.

LONDON, April 4.-Dispatches from
Paris reiterate the stories of afronts to
Lord Darlington and his suite while re-
turning from. Lisbon after formally
announcing King Edwards accession to
King Charles of Portugal It seems
that the train on which the mission trav-
eled conveyed a number of nurses re-
turning from the Boer army.
The result, says a dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company from Paris,
was that at every station there were vi
olent anti British scenes. Lord Car
rington and his suite were openly in
suited, while the nurses were greeted
with loud cheers. The situation became
so intolerable that the British mission
finally changed trains.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them IN the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

''The committee did not deem it with

whether continuance of the pomp of
pride and ceremony of the court is de-
sirable. Suggestions have been rife that
the cost of living has gone up among the

ascended the throne. This idea seems to
be due to the present ostentatious ex-
