A Ner!h Carolina Tree.

The most remarkable tree for size,
quality of wood and quantity of avail
able fine lumber, that has ever been
cut and removed from the forests Of
Western North Carolina. was fallad
last week in Germany Cove, not many
miles from Wayn ssville, on the lands
of J. r. Leathefwood.
It was q carly poplar OF immense
size, measaring feet and 8 inches
through at the butt and 80 feet Co the
first limb.
1t required twelve horses to pull
the butt ont, which was twelve feet
long.
The ahre- ie es tie beautiful cusiy
variety, so valuable for fne veneer
ing in the manufacture of the higher
grades OF furniture aud fine wood
finishirgs, where high polish and
peculiar distinctive grain of the natu.
raj wood is required. This variety is
becoming more and more rare.
It is estimssed thst the tres oou-
saina Of Gsss-elasa lumber 26, 300 feet,
and that it is worth $1,000. A right
valuable tree. Worth more than the
tract OF land, probably, on which il

Refund the Cet.en Tax.

to refund the cotton tax. There have
been several bills of the kind offered
by members from several Of the cot

were never acted upon.

to find out if he could not help to get
this measure through, aud he said G
certainly would do all in his power to
have this matter settled.
After we paid FIVE cents O pound
tax for several years the tax was re-
duced to two and one-half cents; then
a test case was made and it went fin
ally to the Supreme Court. That
Court decided the taz was unconsti-
tutional on the raw material, and CT.

CAPTURED TIE OFFICIALS.
The Neat Trick Parisian Woman
Played on the Police.

T. =
A Partisan woman who did not
pay her rent played q neat trick on
che police. She had & reputation for
violence, and when the baiiiif called
he cook the precaution of bringing
q police coEs:lissary with him. The
woman was wreathed in smiles when
she opened the door to the two off,
cials, and she assisted them with the
utmost amiability in drawins up an
inventory of her furniture, with a
view to an eventual sale at public
auction. When the business was
completed she conducted the bailiff
and the police officer to the door,
but the latter was locked.
"Gentlemen," the woman remark
ed, with an amiable smile, "you are
my prisoners. You have been so
courteous and considerate that I
should be ioath to lose your COM
pany. Therefore, I have locked the
frcnt door and thrown the KEY ous
of the window. This fat is ca the
fourth floor. The door is cn ex-
eeptionally strong one, and your
Joint efforts would be powerlesa to
force it open. The next door fiat
and that on the floor beneath are
both unoccupied. Consequently it
would be idle to expect assistance
from any one in the house. The
only thing Tor you to do is to halloa
out Of the window down into the
street and make yourselves laugh
1ngstock." The woman then sat
down complacently and waited.
The bailiff and the police officer,
convinced that she had key of the
front door somewhere in her possess
sion, reasoned with her for long
time, but in vain. Some four hours
OF captivity elapsed before they
could make up their minds to shout
and gesticulate at the window. When
they did SO a crowd rapidly collect
ed in the street. . Every one thought
q crime had been committed. Pe1-
pie who knew were already relating
with ciroumstantial details how an
elderly woman had been murdered
in the fourth floor fat. Policemen
arrived and, striding through the
crowd, boldly walked upstairs, where
with the aid of locksmith they
opened the door and found them
selves faces to face with their own
chief. The latter, with the bailiff,
made off in a cab as hurriedly and
as inconspicuously as he could man
age it.

Cure Catarrh by Natures Own Msthod
Every Breath Of HyomeI Brings re.
lief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it ia to try aud
cure it by drugging the stomach
Temporary relief may be given, but q
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your ph hysician would
have said the only way to cure ca
tarrh would be to have Ii change of
climate; but now with Hyomei you
can carry health giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it q
few minutes four times day soon
cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.O0 and consists of an inhaler
than oan be carried in the vest pook-
ct, medicine dropper and bottle Of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts Q life
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle Of Hymei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. It is the most
economical Of ell remedies advertised
for the cure Of oatarrh, and 10 the
only one that follows nature in her
method Of treating diseases Of the re-.
spiratory organs.
Evans Pharmacy have sold q great
many Hyomei outfits and the more
they sell, the more convinced they
are that thoy are perfectly safe in
guaranteeing to refund money il
Hyomef does not cure.
