Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack of collie
or cholera morbus, often before medi-
cine could be procured or physician
summoned. A reliable remedy for
these diseases should be kept at
hand. The risk is too great for any
one to take. Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has
undoubtedly saved the lives Or more
people and relieved more pain and
suffering than any other medicine in
use. 1t can always be depended upon.

The good doctor. now half a

up quickly and with alert ears.
The sound was familiar in part,
but it lacked the concluding

stopped on a bang. Evidently
something out of the ordinary
had occurred. He saw a number
of persons in advance running
toward a point beyond a turn in
the road, and he FASTENED in
that direction. At the turn he
saw an automobile lying on its
back in the ditch and a dis.

himself up on the other side of

Dear Sir:-Here's an interesting
story about paint. We give you the
name of the story-teller; write him
and find out all about it.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, of Girard,
Penn, painted his house with Devoe
Lead and Zinc paint. He thought it
expensive, but he bought it. After
finishing the job, he brought back
nearly half the paint and said it was
the cheapest job of painting he ever
did.
Write to MI. Burt Young and Mr..
E. III. Hitler, of the same place. Also
to Mr.. II. FL. Stephenson, Cashier of
Oil City (Pa.) Savings Bank.
It is the cheapest paint in the
world because it is all paint. It COW
ers most surface to the gallon, and it
| wears longest.
There's going to be a lot of this
paint used in Goldsboro. When it
gets a foot-hold, it never lets up; and
the painter who uses Devoe Lead
and Zinc is going to save money for
his patrons. Yours truly,
f. w. DEVOE & Co.
New York.
P. .S.-Snith & Yelverton sell our
paint.

The bridge across Little river, that
is crossed in approaching the institu-
ton from the east, is a wooden struc-

the expense of building and keeping

the treasury of Wayne county during

When we stop and consider for a
moment that there are six bridges
lover Neuse river and three over Lit
tie river, (Asylum bridge n of
then) that are kept up by the tax
payers of Wayne county, it becomes
clear to our minds where a good
round sum of taxes for county pur-
poses goes. Can't the Legislature be
induced to provide for an iron bridge
in place of the wooden structure now
in use, and can't it go further and
provide q macadam way, high and
dry, above high-water mark, from
IGolds3oro to the Asylum grounds,
lonly about 2 miles at most, so that
said grounds can be reached at all
times: We should not be expected

Our Representatives in the Legisla-

of their constituents by looking to
their relief in this particular. The
cost can't be much.

"A bill that has a very pertinent,
not to say direct bearing upon the
Durham Depot question, was put in
by Jones Fuller.
It proposes to amend chapter 164,
Public Laws Of 1899, so as to require
when the Corporation Commissioners
may consider it practicable any two
r 0 railroads entering a city to
have one common or Union Passen-
ger Depot.
1.-The rules for the government Of
the House were adopted as reported
by the committee. By them the
Speaker is given the liberty Of voting
as a member or as the Speaker in
case of a tie. That is, he may wait
for a tie before voting on a measure,
or he may vote in his regular turn as
member, If he 50 prefers.
There are some changes in the
committee a new n to be called
the Committee on Expenditures is
authorized. Then the Committee on
Mining and Manufactures has been
divided into Mines and Mining and
Manufactures and Labor.
The Speaker IS given the right to
appoint twelve pages.
Moreover, three committees, Fl
nance, JuIicary and Propositions
and Grievances, are allowed clerks,
to- -be appointed by the respective
chairman, with the con-ent of the
majority of the committee.
A bill by Nh. King makes it a
misdemeaEo r for a farmland to VIC
late his contract to work and he may
be punished like any other criminal.
Another bill by Mr.. King amend
ing section 1899 Of the Code, gives
the defendant in criminal cases the
right to only six peremptory chal-
lenges of jurymen, instead of twenty
three, as the law now is. The State
has only four, and the object of the
bill is to make things a little more
even.

LITERARY INVALIDs.

In literature, indeed, so far is health
from being indispensable to success,
that in many of the finest writer's there
seems to be a necessary connection of
genius with disease. AS the maple. tree
must be wounded with the axe before 1t
will yield Its honey treasures, as the
nightingale is said to sing more sweetly
with a thorn in Its breast,-so the most
exquisite songs of poets have been
prompted oftentifnes by the acuteness
of their physical sufferings. If Aiexan-
der Pope had not been a hunchback and
invalid, whose life was one continuous
disease, would he have written his ex-
quisite sofa-and lap dog-poetry? If
not irritated by bodily pain, as well as
by the stings Of his enemies, would he
probably have given to the world that
greatest of modern satires, 1.-THE Dun
|caid?" Had he been able to leap a five-
barred gate, instead of having to be
sewed up in stiff canvas stays in order
to stand erect, and to wear three pairs
Of stockings to plump out his spectral
legs, he might have written the Essay
on Man" but would he have delighted
up with that masterpiece Of mock-hero-
lie poetry that delicious little dwarf
epic, "all sparkling with the flash Of d.
Almonds and roguish glances, all a-fIut-
ter with hoop petticoats, brocades and

which seems marvellous in the eyes of

from one Of the stock brokers' offices in
this city originated a bright joke one
morning, and when the line to New

for the delectation of the operator there,
with whom he had often had long dis
tance conversation by means of the
Morse alphabet. Half an hour later a
friend of his from an office across the
street came in and sprung the same gag
on-him. He said that it was brand new
she had just heard of it from New York

showed that the New. York operator had

hour at the utmost it had been told
almost all over the country, and
had come back to the originator
