THE OLD AND THE NEW
WAY.
Some Important Facts Which May
Prove Helpful.

Thirty years ago old-fashioned cod
liver oil had to be forced down a Ia
TENTS throat. Invalids couldn; take
it, and children wouldn't. But ;ue
doctors prescribed it. and it had to be
taken by force. Yet it cured people
where enough could be taken into the
system. for it has ever been the great
est of all tissues builders and general
reconstructorS known to medicine.
We are now anxious TO have every
one know that Ninol is a new form OF
this oil. 1t contains in I, concrntra ted
form all the medicinal elements Of
cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods liVerS, but by a new process il
is made without oil or grease, and it
is as delicious to the taste as a fresh
orange.
Vinoi does not upset the stomach
like old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsionS; its strengthening and heal
ing properties are remarkable, and
botn doctors and patients are delight
ed with its action.
Many wonderful cures right here in
Raleigh have been effected by it's use.
and we ask all of our custC, ners To Try
Vinol on our guarantee to return
money every time it fails TO make rich,

ROXY'S DRINKY OPTICS.
When They Looked the Same Way at
Once. a Blow Was Not Il Thing to
Observation-Disclosures the
Good AGAIN

After a, season of rest Mr.. A F.
Marcom-"Marcom the Good WAS
forced yesterday to drag his weary
feet again to the dreary monotony of
magistrates trials anent the airy
persiblaze and the winsome caVortings
OF the guests at his restaurant in the
deep east''-that oasis of food and
drink in the desert of sin presided
over at the corner of Davie and East
by the sanity Maroon and his ac-
complished cook. Miss Smith.
The trouble this time was of
mixed brand of coons, Harvey Aston,
the defendant whose negro blood is
only sufficient to putty his white face
and kink his black hair, and Roxy
Hinton, who is of q frankly African
type, the blackness of whose skin &C
centuates a white eyeball that IS built
on transverse section of vision that
can be reconciled only when the other
eye is cooked With drink. On such
occasions, say the diners who feed "a
Marcoms, there is an affinity between
the eye that is crooked and that
which is straight which enables
one to catch the flank direction OF
RoXy's gaze. That is not what my in
formant said, but what he meant.
What he said was more epigrammatic
If less exact:
''Wen Roxy is sober she look one
way and tother way both de same
time, but when she is booZed eff a
man will member to jump de way
she doan't look to be lookin he won't
get hit
According to Maroon. who is a man
9f fine feeling and Indifferent gram
mar Harry Aston was the prime dis
,urber of the peace of his restaurant
on Wednesday night. He cusSed Miss
Smith "disgraceful" and he hit Roxy
on the eye. And since Roxy was so
FAR gone in drink that she was look
! ing the same way at once, that in the
opinion of Mr.. Marcom-couched in
the vernacular of the East which it is
too laborious to transcribe-Was the
part neither of a SPORTSMAN or a gem
! tleman-and everybody knows that
Mr.. Marcom's place is one where the
race line is drawn SO tightly that there
are "Jim Crow dining rooms.
Roxy Hinton, being called, averred
that being in drink she had no recoi-
lection of trouble that if anybody hit
her she didn't know it; that she was
so drunk that she didn't see in any
direction at all and that she bore no
hard feelings though she would like
to get something to bring her left eye
into line.

VAL LIE Of TURNPIKE
Something of Road Over
Mountains in Which
State is Interested.

Mr.. b, c. Beckwitn, who with his
fellow member of the Board Of IN
ternal improvements, Mr.. r. A. Nor
row of Monroe, has been on q trip
OF inspection over the new Jefferson
ana WilkesbOrO turnpike returned 10
the city yesterday y
Mr.. BeckWith speaks with the great
est enthusiasm of the road, twenty
TWO miles Of which has been partially
constructed, and believes that it viii
prove blessing to the entire state
IN opening UP the large section Of
Northwestern North Carolina which
has hitherto been practically cut of
from communication with the. re
maindcr Of the State.
Of the state
The turnpike, for the construction
of which the State furnishes the la
Dor Of forty cOnvicts in return for a
controlling interest i'm the stock Of
the corporation, is to run from North
Wilkesboro, in Wilkes, to Jefferson, in
Ashe county. Starting at Willesboro it
has already been practically con-
structed for distance of twenty-five
miles and is now within four to six
miles of the top of the mountain
range which it is TO cross. The route
Of the road follows the course Of
Reddies River and it's construction is
having to be blasted through the solid
rock of the mountain side At times
the road runs along the sides Of the
mountain, skirting precipices three to
five hundred feet in depth.
The plan which is being carried cut
in the construction of the road is one
of the prettiest pieces of engineering
in the country, says Mr.. BeckWith.
Prior to the opening Of the turn
pike road the people who lived in the
northwestern part OF the State in or
der to get to the central or eastern
sections had either to travel through
/ Tennessee or Virginia. by means OF
the new road an almost direct connec-
ton can be had with all other parts
of the State by way of Winston Salem
and Greensboro. The country thus
mountains. has magnificent valleys
which produce abundant crops and
furnish the best of pasture. The
mountains, too, are heaily timbered
with the finest woods. These pro-
ducts. however, have been heretofore
greatly restricted as to markets, or
have been forced out of the State. BY
| the new turnpike. however, the cattle
and timber can be readily taken to
Wilkesboro and entrained there AL
though the road has not yet been
! built TO the top of the mountains, il
! is already in use by many people. Az
ter it is completed it will be a great
! highway for one of the finest sections
in the State. &o-
Among the convicts who are at
work under Capt. Cox, who is in
| charge of the construction, are Jarvis,
| the defauIting Ashevillo lawyer, DR..
| Jay, who killed his children. and Lo-
renzo Morris, of Wake, who is also
/ a murderer.
