The Ere shmen's Banquet.

The members of the freshman class in
Middlebury college thought to steal a
march on the sophomores by holding
their annual banquet at the Berwick
house, Rutland, the night before the
vacation ended. 1t leaked out, however,
as such things usually do, and the sopho-
mores waylaid one of the members of
the freshman class, David Caldwell,
and took him from the train Monday
afternoon at the depot, by force. and
held him till it was too late for him to
reach Rutland. In the melee several
windows and seats were smashed in the
car for which the boys will have to
settle.
Others of the sophomores attempted
to stop Esrl Collins, son of Judge Col
Inns, of Ferrisburgh, taking the train at
that place for Rutland, and half that
village took part in the hot skirmish
that followed. Young Collins was fin
ally placed on the train and the journey
begun. As he is quite handy with his
digits he was allowed to proceed to Rut-
land and enjoy the festivities of the ban
quet.
The sophomores plastered the town
with red posters roasting the freshmen
in lively manner. 1.-The Naughty
Six Cabbage Head" Vol. H., No. l, a
green paper, also helped to contribute
to the gaiety of the town and render the
return of the freshmen to college pleas
ant. Some of the letters were decidedly
rich reading to the initiated. Both sides
claim d great victory.

Selling DR.. Towards Dyspepsia Spe-
cific at Half Price, "and Guaran-
teeing Cure.
Wherever there is no faint of incurable
disease in the blood to complicate the
case, DIR. Towards specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia will cure
those diseases.
NJ. r. Burt the popular druggist, is
so confident of this that he will give his
personal guarantee with every package
of the specific he sells, to refund the
money if it does not cure.
To induce the people of Middlebury
and neighboring towns to try this
wonderful remedy, he is making a
special introductory offer of regular
fifty cent bottle, containing sixty doses,
at half price, % cents. And with every
bottle goes his guarantee to refund the
money if the remedy does not cure.
DR.. Towards specific is not "cure-
ALL" But it is the one remedy you need
if you suffer with constipation, indiges-
ton, headaches or any disorder of the
Green, "A well known business man of
Crown Point, n. Y, wrote the following
letter very recently: "Nearly ten years
ago was mere shadow, and, according
to the judgment of quite number of
doctors, my end was in sight. My
troubles reduced my weight from 10 to
115 pounds. Finally an eminent
physician prescribed DR.. Howard's
specific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia, and | soon improved My
weight went to about $50 pounds, and
has stayed around there. Previous to
taking the specific had to live on rice
and rye bread, but now | eat anything
and everything. | always take dose
after heavy night meal, such as a
banquet, and am all right in the morn
ing"
1t is the medicine that cured Mr.. Green
that Druggist M. r. Burt opposite Pine
Hall, is selling at half price and guaran-
teeing will cure.

The R. F. D. Service.

Postmaster Bailey, of Raleigh,
says there are now in operation in
North Carolina AS rural routes and
that the monthly payroll is con-
siderably over $4,000. He says this
State has it's fair share of routes,
thanks to very active and commend
able work by all the Congressional
delegates. Mecklenburg yet leads in
the number of routes, Wake holding
second place. The first route estab-
lished in this State was at Oxford;
the second at Raleigh. The rural
free delivery service has grown in
five years from an experiment into
a great force for education and i'm
provement and information. The
five routes from Raleigh handle each
month, over 10000 pieces of mail.
The first appropriation for this SER
vice was secured by Senator Marion
Butler, and it is said that he, more
than any one else, deserves the
credit.-Col. Odds.

A Little Political Gossip.

Mr.. Rollins prestige and voice in
party matters as Republican State
Chairman, can be diminished only
in one way. And since this avenue
for his undoing is practically closed,
it would seem that he is safely an
chored. The election of a Republi-
can to Congress from the State
would destroy Mr.. Rollins political
influence in a way. A Republican
representative would virtually be-
come leader of the party in the
State, for the reason hat the fed
eral patronage would be placed at his
disposal. Thomas Settle aspires to
Rollins mantle as party leader via
the Congressional route. So does
E. Spencer Blackburn in the Eighth
District. Rollins told the President
that North Carolina Republicans
would be represented in the next Con-
gress. Such a result would come

Did Cashier Dewey Work Another
Game?

"What has become of T. W.
Dewey, the absconding bank official
of New Berng" a well known officer
and detective was asked by a citizen
yesterday. "Why do you suppose he
has not given himself up after writ
ing that he would do 500"
"Give himself up" exclaimed the
officer. "You thought that, did. you?
Well, hat letter was the slickest
thing yet, | think. He simply made
a bluff that he intended to surrender
so the reward offered for him was
withdrawn and the police and detec-
tives quit working to find him. Then
he easily got clean away. That is
what [ think about it."
The citizen did not agree with the
officer, but~the latter was decided in
his views.-Raleigh Post.

near to putting him out of commits
sion, politically speaking.
The Tenth District is the most in
teresting on the North Carolina po-
litical checker-board. This condition
results from the expected ~unseating
of Representative J. M. Gudger at
the coming session of Congress.
Settles efforts for a nomination will
mean a fight for State leadership.
He will have to reckon with Y. S.
Lusk, J. J. Britt and others. But
even more interesting are reports
that have recently-reached here from
Asheville with reference to the nomi-
nation of a Democratic candidate in
the event of the ~unseating of Mr..
Gudger. There is said to be a grow
ing sentiment in favor of rendering
the nomination to Locke Craig.
It is not generally known, but some
of Governor Aycock's political
friends in the Third District have
recently been urging him to become
a candidate for Congress against
Representative Thomas. He has re-
fused to enter the contest, so several
of his close friends say. They pre-
dict that he will be a candidate in
1905 if he does not make the race for
the Senate against Senator Sim
mons.-Washington Cor. Post.

Portuguese EabOrers for the New Bern
Section.

SWOS4V4s
A. B. Dawson, who went to New
Bedford, Mass, last week to secure
Portuguese laborers for persons
here, returned with them yesterday
on the steamer Ocracoke. There we're
100 in the number, twelve or fifteen
of them being women.
It will be remembered thai these
Portuguese are the same who were
brought here last sprinr from the
wreck of the barkentine Vera Cruz
VII, near Ocracoke, and later taken
to New Bedford, for which place they
were bound when the wrecked oc-
Cured.
At the time, Mr.. Dawson took a
number of Portuguese to work on
his farm. He found them such val
liable help hat he went North to get
others to work on his farm a few
weeks ago. He thinks that their
services as laborers are splendid.
They are industrious, honest and
faithful. Although taking them to
do this work was regarded as an ex-
pertinent, he thinks that the money
used to get them was wisely ex-
pended.
The Portuguese looked in far bet
ter condition than when they we're
here last spring. Of course there
was a for their seedy appear
ance then, but now they have every
appearance of being thrifty and in
dustrious, and doubtless the men
taking them will find them excellent
help.
Mr.. Dawson says he could get )
thousand of such men if tie were
a demand for them.-E ew Bern
