The Seed Graft.

Ye gods! Our grave and reverend
Senators would shatter an historic
precedent by refusing an appropria-
ton for the free distribution of seeds.
This kindly custom has become so
intimately associated with our nat
tional and political life that "things
would be the same no more" were
the privilege to be denied our sena-
tors and repre- entatives of giving
free seed to their constituents.
Lots of honest farmers look upon
the annual "seed graft" like unto
mama from heaven, and the judi.
cious distribution of seed has no
doubt kept many good men in Office
until they could demonstrate their
greatness.
1t is but paltry $240, ,O00-this is
said for effect-and for the sake of
the amenities of life, if nothing more,
| the appropriation for the distribu-
tion of free seed should not be turned
down.

ARBITRATION TREATIES.
Southern Senator'S and Those of
Northern States Reach an
Agreement.

Washington, Feb. 2.-After dis
cussion of more than san hour the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations to-day adjourned without re-
porting the arbitration treaties be-
tween the United States and several
European governments, but with
prospects for an early agreement.
Senator Bacon again urged the adop-
ton OF amendments that were made
by the Senate to the OIney-Paunce-
forte treaty in order to guard the in
terests of States, but these were op-
posed by the Republican members of
committee. It is said that the COM
mittee finally will agree to an
amendment requiring that every
claim to be arbitrated under the
treaties must first be submitted to
the Senate.
Senators from Southern States who
have opposed the treaties because of
the effecc they might possibly have
on repudiated State bonds, held
abroad tave agreed to accept an
amend ent of that character.

Circus Brings $3.50, 600.
Columbus CO., Dispatch.

W. WI DAoPoCSu'
The Sells Forepaugh circus was
sold auction Tuesday for $3.50, 900,
the only old. The auctioueer went
through the form of crying for other
bids but not another offer was made,
and in stentoran tone the auction
eer declared the Sells-F
shows ''soid for $3.50, 900, and very
cheap price, gentlemen, but we must
take that since we cannot get more"
Lewis Sells stepped to the front of
the platform and informed those
present that the purchaser was J. A.
Bailey. The terms, he said, were
cash. Only five minutes was re-
quired to sell property that has
been thirty years in the making.
James A. Bailey gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The Forepaugh-Sells Bros. show
is now the sole property OF James A.
Bailey and the Ringing Bros. A
half interest was sold to the Ring
ling Bros. after the auction sale. The
show will be operated next year by
myself and the Ringling Bros, and
while the name has not yet been de-
cided upon, Forepaugh-Sells Bros.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The New York World thinks that
President Roosevelt should convene
the fifty-ninth congress in special
session as soon as convient after
March a, to enact tariff and railroad
legislation along the line of the Pres
ident's position. The World SAYS
that discussion of these. questions dur
ing the past month shows con-
stantly augmenting body of public
sentiment in support of the Presi-
dent, that the democrats in congress
are already committed to these
measures, and the republican lead
ers are the obstructionists, and adds:
"In regular session they can Sec
rete themselves behind the appro-
priation bills. In a special session
they would have to fight the Presi-
dent in the open. Few of them have
the courage for that"
This is doubtless true. Mr.. Roose-
velt is hard fighter when he once
gets started, and he is evidently in
earnest in his efforts for railway leg
lslation. He has struct a very popu-
lar chord In this position, and is re-
ceiving from all over the country
many expressions of thanks. Ger
tainly there is need of rail way legis-
lation, and this is a good time to
work for it. If a special session of
congress be convened there can be
no excuse for delay. It will be up
to the republican leaders to show
their hand, and the millions of D o.
pie who are now clamoring for re-
lief from an unjust railway tax will
know where they stand.

WINTER EATING RUINS
STOMACHS
Ona," says j. I'll. Hill
& Son..

Think for a moment of the extra
strain sou put upon the stomach in
the Winter. The hearty food, the
iate suppers, and the lack of exercise
and out door life all weaken and
strain the stomach, laying the foun-
datIon tor poor health and suffering.
Chronic stomach troubles, nervous
irritability, and serious bowel and
kidney diseases have often dated
from week of extra 'good living"
Nearly everyone is bothered with
more or less headaches and back
aches, furred tongue, poor appetite,
dry, hacking cough, heartburn, spots
before the eyes, dizzlness or vertigo,
sleepleosness, lack of energy, loss of
f1esh or a general weak, tired feeling.
Now is the time when Ml-o-na is
needed to repair the ravages and
wastes the hearty eating of Winter
has caused in the stomach and dlges-
tive system. This is the only known
agent that strengthens the stomach
and digestive organs, so they can
and will readily digest whatever
food is eaten. A Mi-o-na tablet tax
en- before each meal will remove all
Irritation, inflammation and conges-
ton in the digestive organs, and sc
strengthen them that they will ex.
tract from the food all that goes tC
make good rich blood, firm muscle
and sound, healthy body.

30 ce1,s, and If lis use does not re
store your full vigor, vitality, ant
! health, j. H. Hill & Son, one of th'
1best known drug firms in this section

faith like this deserves your colfi
ldence.

FOR THE
SOUTH.

The Boston Traveller objects to
any federal control in the location of
newly-arrived immigrants. 1t is
moved to take this position because
Immigration Commissioner Sargent
has. shown an inclination to induce
Immigrants to go south, where cheap
lands and mild climate await
them. 1t does not appear in the
Travellers comments why it opposes
assisted colonization in the south. 1t
goes on to say: ''Immigration mani
pulators cannot relieve, but can easily
gravate the shIitlessneos and de-
pravity with which the south has
now to contend. Sdch a scheme as
proposed will offer unlimited op-
portunies for fraud and corruption
and continued IN operation for two
years will result in one of the great
est scandals that the nation has ever
known"
The entire article does not mani
fest friendly disposition towards
the south, anu it almost seems that
the appearance of the Travellers ar
ticIe is due to desire to see immi-
grants continue to flow into the cot.
ton mills and other industries oil
New England. AS the native peo-
pie disappear from the industries
Immigrants are needed to take theil
places.
We may do the Traveller injustice
but it is difficult to see what Other
motive prompts it to oppose tht
turning of immigrants from th'
eastern cities to the cultivated
lands of the South. As neIther frauC
nor force are possible IN the hand
ling of Immigrant, there seems Il
be no good reason why the gevern
ment shou d not place before the I
all available Information. TIL
Travellers pictures nf fraud and cor
Eruption are strictly imaginative, ant
the Travellers statements of the ef
fects of immigration upon the Soutl
are absolutely without foundation
The Traveller should reveal the ami
lmus of its raid.

IN MEMORIAM.

At Washington, N. c., Jan. 28th,
1895, at the breaking of day, the
spirit of "Cousin Bettie"-Mrs. Bet
tie Mahoney winged it's way back
to the Heavenly world. Her life
was one of usefulness and ,self-sacri-
f1ce-in the highest and truest sense.
1t was her pleasure to do good, not a
duty, and to many a life has brought
joy and gladness, and to a sad broken
heart bid the weary spirit have'' faith
in God"
The world has been made better
and richer by her having lived.
In October 1904, she had a severe
stroke of paralysis, affecting her en-
tire left side. This was dispensation of
Providence she conld not understand,
but uttered not word of com pIaint,
and SAID that If it was His will that
she should go in and out among her
friends again she would be glad, If
not, it would be we'll. Her faith in
God was simple and complete, and
the meeting of her Saviour was a
looked for joy to her.
1t Was her req lest that she be
buried at Durham n. @. On Sun
day afternoon, January 29th. the
Iune al services were held at Tfiuity
church, Durham, n. @, co-,..ucted
Oy Rev. X. U. Brann+a, aud htr
hoiy Was laiI to rest by her sainted
ha-oanl, Rev. John Mahonv, who
prel,cicd mere many years.
IL her loved ones who attended
thai sad, solemn service at the church
aud saw the grave close over that
faithful body, it was a parting of sor-
row and a loss of a dear, true friend.
But To "Cousin Bette" it was a iov.
Tor ln heavensh~ Was happy in being
With Him whom she loved, and to
again greet her loved ones whom
she hueW on earth.

tracts:
"Sire, we have not met in distress
ing time. Our hearts are troubled
at the sight of our difficulties abroad
and the demonstrations and disorders
at home. Foes are attaking us.
Their aim is to bring Russia to a
shameful peace, to ruin her, to wrest
her distant territories from her and
to bring to naught the system OF
government which has the sanction
Of centuries. Such situation puts a
strain on the moral and M terial
'orces of the country. A way out of
our difficulties must absolutely be
found. Sire, all our hope is in y Hou."
After an apprciative reference to
The decree Of December 25 and re-

strength which neithe foreign foe

Sire, the nobility of ST Peters
oury are convinced that this union

Vail with the ali of Gcd. Our vali-
mt troops, sparing not their lives
for the emperor and the tatherland,
will crown the Russian army with
fresh glory. With the aid of God,
The unrest at home, too, will abate.
Your Intentions, sire, are clear and
the nation awaits the eagerness, for
fulfilment of the imperial will, but
and statesmen, whatever |
their qualities and zeal, cannot solve !
all the questions in the nations life. |
Sire, your torefathers harkened TO |
the voice of Russians elected by the
nation, and their criticism, far from

and aided it to attain its pres ent |
greatness. Order new, representa-
ives for the country, fre:ly elected,

Ani take part in accordance with |
your sovereign directions, in legisla- |

Petersburg believe in all sincerity |

N the par of the emperor, the in

that all Russia will rise to serve
the sovereign faithfully and to good

of the country and the confusion of

1t seems as though one medicine
company has come to Goldsboro to
do a legitimate business. The peo-

The Globe Remedy Company has,

main object this company had in
view was to secure high reputation
for the Globe Tonic as a cure for

that this has been accomplished,

ais OF our citizens, and it is to be re-
