Aldermen met at noon yesterday to re-
ceive bids for lighting the city for the

power lights. if as many as $50 were
used, provided the committee would

cry propositions. With this understand
ing, which amounts to the committee be-
ing given the privilege of accepting the
former bids. the extension was granted.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Makes the Country as Desirable as
the Town
HILL AND HARRISON FOR 1904
The Congressman Believes That With a Ticket
Like This the Republicans Can be
Defeated in the Next
Campaign.

Congressman John d. Bellamy, of Will
mington, who is in the city on business
before the Supreme court, was seen YES
terday by News and Observer repor-
ter and his views obtained Oh number
of matters of interest now being con-
sidered in Congress, as well as on mat
ters of moment in the political world.
In response to the question What
measures before Congress are of special
interest to our people at this timer" he
said:
There is ct present under considera-
tion the Postoffice Appropriation Bill,
which has a provision in it taking the
appointment of carriers of rural free de-
livery mail from the superintendent of
Free Delivery under the present system,
and letting out the carrying of mail on
rural routes to the lowest bidders, as III
the Star Route System. This change is
not atall desirable for our southern dis
trict, as it will deprive the department
of the very efficient carriers they now
have, and substitute for them a shftless
set of individuals, who will take any
old mule and for cheapness carry the
mail in any ships hod way, which will
interfere with the promptne5s and regu-
larity of the daily mail, thus destroying
the life of the rural free delivery ser
vice. I have become an ardent advocate
of this service. For the last thirty
years there has arisen disposition in
our country people to leave the farms
and flock to the towns. Many allege
their reason is to get the benefit of daily
mails and better school privileges. Now
since the educational awakening has
come over our State, we have the schools
in the country, and now with rural free
delivery we have the daily mails, thus
making the country as desirable to i've
in as in the towns.
u believe we can look for much i'm
provemelit in the country when the far
mer boys and girls become satisfied with
their homes. which have all the advan-
tages of town life
do you thing the Democratic mem
bers of Congress feel hopeful of future
party SUGGEST"
81 never knew a more hopeful feeling
to prevail. The Republicans as L am
reliably informed by many members, are
very much troubled and worried over
the Philippine question In the north
and northwest their followers are much
divided as to what ought to be done
with these possessions. They are cost
ing many millions of dollars a month
and much blood and many lives. They
are feeling that they have got on their
hands a problem they don't know how
to solve, unless it be to adopt the Demo-
cratic ideas of giving them their indie
pendence and withdrawing cur troops,
when they have secured a suitable gov
eminent and given the United States
proper treaty stipulation as to trade re-
lations. This they don't want to do.

FEBRUARY WAS COLD.
Coolest Since 1887, With Exception of '95 The
Snow Fall Was II Inches

The monthly meteorological summary
for February, issued by the Weather Blu
reau, shows a mean temperature for the
month of Sc degrees. The highest mark
60, was reached on the last day, the
2Sth and the lowest, II, on the 5th. TIE
greatest daily range of temperature was
q degrees, on the oath, and the least was
4 degrees, on the LIST. The mean tenn
perature is the lowest since 1887, except
in 1895, when it was SO degrees.
The prevailing direction of the wind
was northwest, and the maximum velocity
was 80 miles, from the southwest, on the
2Sth.
The total precipitation for the month
was 7.0S inches, which is greater than
that for any year since 81, with the ex-
ception of 1899, when it was 7,4S inches.
There were eleven clear days, 10 cloudy
and partly cloudy. The snowfall was
17.9 inches.

hence the division among them and their
distraction.
Again they are divided on the reci-
procity question and the reduction of
tariff duties, particularly on goods pro-
duced by trusts. A party of their fol-
lowers are clamoring for reduction, the
others under the lead of the sugar and
tobacco trust oppose and reduction. On
the Cuban tariff, as you will see from
the reports of the Republican caucus
held last night, there is an indication of
a serious split in their party. They are
likely to oppose the recommendation of
Mr.. Roosevelt, the President, and reject
the plan of their Ways and Means Com
mittee. On the other hand, the Demo
cratic party since the settlement of the
silver question, is now practically unit
ed, and we expect to capture the next
House Of Representatives. The pros
poets throughout the union are fine and
the Republicans are becomin~ much
alarmed"
What do you think of the prospects
of Democracy in the campaign for the
Presidency to succeed ROOSEVELT"
81 believe if the Democratic party will
nominate a strong man, of clean record,
who will be acceptable to the business
interests of our nation and at the same
time acceptable to the farming and lab
oring element of our people, we will win.
We have lost in the last few years many
of the most substantial business men of
New York, and the country generally.
We have many of the most intelligent

many farmers and laborins men with
comfortable savings who were afraid of
the silver issue and we must have them
back New York New Jersey and Con-
necticut are naturally Democratic and
our natural allies. Let us win
them back. We can do this
by disclaiming for tariff reduction on
trust made goods, which are sold cheap
er in Europe than they are sold to our
own people, and for such a reduction
on other articles as will not injure our
infant or struggling industries For ex-

1t is true the most annoying symptoms,
like stoppage of the nose and throat trou-
BILE, are purely local, but they are sim
ply symptoms and the real seat of dis
ease is far removed.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease, a
blood disorder, complicated usually with
disease of the liver and to suppose that
local applications of sprays. powders, in
h9leIs, could ever reach the real cause
Of the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treatment
is to remove the catarrhal poison from
the system by regulating the liver and
purifying the blood, and this can only
be done by an internal remedy, which
should consist of antiseptics and remedies
to act vigorously on the blood and liver.
The best preparations of this kind
which fills all the requirements of safe
constitutional treatment is Stuart's Ca
taTssi Tablets. composed of Blood Root,
Red Gum and similar wholesome antisep-
ties, which are absolutely safe to take
into the stomach and which act upon the
liver, stomach and mucous membrane.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be slowly
Dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching the

DR.. Edmundson, in speaking of the new
treatment for catarrh, says; Il have
accomplished the most satisfactory re-
suits in all forms of catarrh of the head
throat, bronchial tubes, as we'll as ca
tarrh of the stomach and liver by using
nothing else but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
/ long since threw aside sprays and in
halers as being inconvcnient and at the
best mere temporary make-shifts.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act imme-
diately upon the liver and blood and clear
the whole system of catarrhal poison.
They are pleasant and very convenient
to use, and they are not only the latest,
but I believe them to be the best and
certainly the safest treatment for any
form of catarrb,

ABOUT CATARRH CURES.
The Reason Why Inhalers and
Local Applications
Are Useless

For many years catarrh was considered
to be a local disease and was treated en-
tirely by local remedies, salves, ONT
ments, powders sprays and inhalers, and
nearly all of these gave temporary re-
lief, but a genuine permanent cure was
very rare.
