Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in a difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
well worthy the attention of all
readers:
al have constantly used s.. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations l have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. l can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: "I have found ST. Jacobs Oil most
eficacious remcdyin gout also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say 100 much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

lature and Good Roads Day" at the
Charleston Exposition. Mr.. Crosby's
subject, naturally, was the present
condition and possibilities of the roads
adjacent to this city. He pointed out
the great advantages at the disposal
of Baltimore Countians to the east and
south in the use of oyster shells, than
which 10 Cner material exists for a
smooth, hard roadbed. These advan-
tages he said, have been lost in n great
measure by their application to the
roads without the proper foundation.

said, he has been able to d. the best
work this year. There was nothing to

An interesting agri cultural item print
cd in the London Times is as follows:
"a Mr.. Vacher, of Heckford farm
near Poole. last year planted one po-
tato, which produced him 330 in num-
ber, and there would have been still
more had not a boy lost one of the eyes
after the potato was cut in pieces.
The farmer, having saved the whole of
them, had them planted, and he has
now dug the crop, and finds they have
multiplied to the number of 9236, and
weigh 13 cwt. 3 qrs., which certainly
is a very great increase from one sin

TOBACCO TALK.

The Goldsboro Tobacco Market will open Friday, August 1, 1902.
It will pay the farmers to bear this date in mind and bring their to-
|bacco to this market L your tobacco is not ready for the Opening Day
Come Any Day, for this market is going to pay the best prices this year
in its history, and every load of tobacco you haul elsewhere you will be
the loser, for the Godsboro Market this year has experienced buyers rep
resenting not only many large houses that buy for foreign shipment, but
also the American Tobacco Company and its formidable competitor the
Imperial Tobacco Company, both Of which buy without limit and pay
always right up to the very highest value of every pile OF any floor.
In making these statements to the farmers, we do so as business men
of reputation, who have backed our judgment as to the superior merit of
|Godsboro Is a tobacco market by coming here and casting our fortunes
with this market and investing or money here. This fact alone should
address itself to the farmers without further argument IN our part.
However, facts always speak louder than words: Therefore, bring your
tobacco to Goldsboro and you will fully realize the glad FACT that it is
the BEST TOBACCO MARKET in the STATE.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Major A. WE'LL Jumped Into the
River Yesterday-Two Negroes
Pulled Him Out.
Wilmington Dispatch, July 30.

Wilmington Dispatch, July %.
The news quickly spread over the
city this morning that Major A.
WE'LL, one of the Atlantic Coast
Lines soliciting agents, and a prom
inent citizen of Wilmington, tried to
commit suicide about 10 o'clock this
morning by jumping into the Cape
Fear river from a dock between Or
ange and Ann streets. He was res
cued only by the timely action of
two colored men who were working
nearby when he threw himself into
the river.
This tragic attempt of Major WE'LL
was a great surprise to his wide cir
Gle of friends and all deplore his act
very much indeed.
After he was taken from the water
Major WE'LL was carriedto his board
ing house at No. SIT Dock street. AT
last accounts he was resting easily
and aside from the great shock he
was doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
The cause of his desperate act is
unknown, even to his intimate
friends. He has been blue for a day
or two and was suffering from a
spell of melancholia, which SO de-
pressed him that he was forced to at
tempt suicide.
The unfortunate occurrence is deep
ly deplored by the many acquaint-
ances of the old gentleman and all
hope for him a speedy return to his
normal state of mind.
