An exchange publishes statement to
the effect that ptomaine poisoning comes
in almost all cases through ignorance of
the consumer. Those well up in the use
of timed foods say that the very instant
tin is opened its contents should be
emptied into an earthern or glass vessel.
When they remain in the tin for any
length of time with the air playing
about them and setting up some sort of
chemical action as it meets the inner
walls of the can, mischief is likely to
begin that can end no one knows where.
And it seems but fair to all concerned
that this fact be put In as wide circua-
ton as possible. The above direction is
simple, easy to follow, and should be
needed,

similarity between the history O.
this State and of Rhode Island. He
ended his address with toast to the
two States.
President Perry spoke in most
pleasant vein, but briefly. In con-
cluding his remarks, he referred tC
the proposition for the establishment
by the State of a test farm in the
trucking district. He said he had
been informed that one Or two tracts
of land near NeWbern were now be-
ing favorably considered by the Conn
mlttee having the matter in charge,
and that he had been told the people
of NeWbern were making up SUBJ
ocripticn to help pay for this farm as
an inducement to the State to estab-
lIsh 1t III their vicinity. He added
The best way for the people and the
railroad to get along together and

say that for every dollar the people

lima Company will contribute an
other dollar -Lnat is to say, we are
prepared to duplicate your contrIbu-
tIon." This announcement was re-
celved with great applause.
But the greatest enthusiasm of the
day was aroused by Mr.. Perry's an
nouncement that the railroad shops
would not be moved from NeWbern.
He said he understood that there had
been much discussion of this matter
along the line of the road and consid-
cradle misapprenenslon on the part
of the people of Newbern as to the
shops, and he wanted to set the mat
ter at rest once and for all. .a
Mr.. Perry and his party visited
Morehead City and Beaufort Friday
looking over the company's
property in those two enterprising
towns with view to improving
their facilities for the handling of the
railroad business. Kinston was visit
ed on Wednesday afternoon with a
like purpose.

makes but Sc a week. Eight years
ago. the youth became enamored of
the princess and wrote her the first
of series of beautiful letters. From
that time until recently, when the
romance was interrupted, the two
have corresponded regularly, but

WANTS BUT ONE PHONE

Council Of Sheffield, Ala, De-
clineS To Grant a New
Franchise.


Atlanta Constitution, March 8.
Sheffield, Ala, March 2.-The
m ,yor and council of Sheffield, at
meeting held last night, declined to
grant a franchise for an exchange to
be operated in competition with the
exchange of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company now
in Sheffield. The application for
franchise was made by John G. Mon
teith, representing Barber & Bradley,
owners of certain independent tele-
phone properties. The matter receiv-
ed careful consideration at the hands
of the members of the council and
after a full discussin it was unani-
mously decided that a second tele-
phone system in Sheffield would re-
suit in an increased financial burden
TO the community and very consider
able annoyance as well, The service
of the Southern Bell Company in
Sheffield was pronounced excellent
and the rates reasonable, and the
mayor and council were unanimously
of the opinion that a second tele-
phone system would be highly un-
desirble.

FIGHTING AROUND
MUKDEN.

The tight censorship ON both sides
in the Far East renders it difficult to
ascertain what is going on, and the
outside world will simply have to
await results. 1t is plain, however,
that General Kuroki's effort at Da
Pass to turn the Russian east wing
has been followed by general bat
tie thirty miles long, and that both
sides are striving for the mastery be-
fore the coming out of the frost in
the ground stops all operations until
May.
All that we know is that a great
winter battle is going on, land it is be-
fieved the japanese are forcing Kur-
opatkin out of his trenches and out
of Mukden. If he retreats at all, he
must fall back to Telling, where if
he be fortunate, he can make an
other stand againt the unconquered
japanese.
No one expects Kuropatkin to do
more than to keep his army from
general disaster. No one expects
him to whip the japanese, or to
drive them an inch. He may BE-
able to resist attacks until he can fall
back, carrying his stores with him.
No one expects more from him. No
one longer expects Russian success
in the field when the autocracy is
Fl shting an uphill battle at home for
its very existence.
The Russian army at its maxi
mum is now being tested, and if it
Is driven out of Mukden as it had
been driven out of Liaoyang, there

been the chief executive for alme st a

well known.
Probably the only important diff
ferenc between his coming admini-

the fact that he will manifest less

|subservlent to party dictation. He
goes into office with Tremendous
