There now. Listen at this from The
Wilmington Messenger: If the au-
thorilies of Raleigh won't let hackS
meet rhe late night trains hey ought
to have the city ambulance n
patrol wagon there for h benent OF
arriving passengers" As We under
stand it. the new ordinance does not
prohibit carriages from meeting the
night trains. it oniy saws they snali
not hang around h streets TO Dick
I'D passengers but We are not sur
prised that so silly an Snould
be used to the prejudice of the city
away from home.-Raleigh Post
We owe the Post and the people of
Raleigh an apology. The remarks OF
that paper made at various times on
the subject Of the new city ordinance
i'm regard to public hacks not being al
lowed on the streets after 8 O'Clock at
night created the impression that no
public carriages were allowed to carry
rel after that hOur. we had
never seen any statement of exception
being made of such carriages as met
the trains arriving after that hour
The case is not as bad as we thought
it was. The fact that passengers ar
irving in the city on the late trains do
not have to walk to the hotels or to
their residences is an improvement on
what we thought were the existing
conditions. We are glad TO learn that
things are not as bad in the capital
city as we We're led to suppose. There
are some hopes for Raleigh yet. When
we were led to suppose that conditions
were so bad that it was not thought
proper for a carriage to be allowed on
her streets after 9 o'clock we felt that
the redemption of the city's morals
was an impossibility. This, coupled
with the fearful condition Of morals
in the city, as described by one Of her
daily papers, was enough to cause one
to shudder whenever thoughts of that
city entered ones mind.

Weekly Bulletin OH Crop Conditions.
Washington, July 1S.-The weekly
bulletin of the bureau on crop condi-
tons show.
while toe rapid growth Of cotton and
light fruiting are very generally report
ed throughout the cotton belt, an i'm
provement is indicated in many dis
tricts. The crop continues to suffer
from lack of cultivation, especially in
the central and western portions of the
belt, where however the weather of the
past week has been favorable for
cleaning the fields, a work which has
been pursued vigorously. In Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas reports
of abandoned fields continue. Damage
by boil weevils in Texas, generally, is
not great, though considerable in To-
calitieS.
Too much rain has caused injury to
tobacco in Kentucky, Virginia and
Maryland, where the crop has suffered
from lack of cultivation, but now the
outlook in Kentucky is promising. A
marked improvement is noted in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York, the crop
is doing we'll in New England, Indiana
and Wisconsin. Clearing is progress
ing in the Carolinas, where the yield
is below the average.

BAD BLOOD
INVITES

The blood supplies nourishment and
strength to every part OF the boly when
it is rich, pure and healthy. When from
any cause it becomes disease6or weak it
cannot supply the nutrinent the system
needs, andthe body is unable to resist the
diseases and troubles that are constantly
assailing it to break down the health.
Ihave used 8. S. 8. n found it to be
an excellent blood purifier n tonic.
NY blood was weak and impure, and as
a result my system became very much
run down and debilitated. Host twenty
or more pounds in weight, had no appe-
tite and wasin bad shape. Seeing 8. s. 5.
advertised I began its use, and am we'll
pleased with the results alter using 1t
for some little while. My system and
general health have been wonderfully
built up, and I no not hesitate to give

Rheumatism, Skin Diseases, Scrofula,
Catarrh, Old Sores, Malaria, Contagious
Blood Poison, ETC., are the results of bad
or diseased blood, and until this vital
fluid is c1eansed and made pure, strong
and healthy, these diseases will continue.
The greatest of all blood purifiers and
tonics is S. S. S. It has been curing all
diseases of the blood for more than forty
years by going down to the very root of
the trouble, forcing out all poisons and
impurities and building up every part of
the system by its fine tonic effect. S. SIS.

THE GOVERNORS REVIEW.

1t must have been gratifying to GOV
ernor Glenn to see the large crow1 OF
Wilmington people and visitors at the
beach which turned out to witness the
governors review of the troops in
Camp Glenn yesterday Afternoon. At
a most conservative estimate there
were two thousand people on the camp
grounds and the reception they gave
the governor was cordial and hearty.
The review was a success in every way.
The soldiers made a splendid appear
ance The parade was greatly enjoyed
by all the civilians present and must
have been a matter of pleasure n self
congratulaticn to the staff officers. The
men are behaving like real soldiers and
the camp grounds are in excellent cen
dition, considering hat this is the first
time they have been used for this pur-
pose in many years. That is an ideal
spot for permanent encampnent
grounds. We think the governor and
Stall udNC uOCh LII ooo WIN sAA@O
fact. Some wol1 must be done, OF
course, to perfect the grounds, tut
there Will be no trouble about this, il
the state authorities will just say that
the state guard encampment shall he
held there each wear. We do not know
when we have seen the Wilmington
people so enthused over any matter as
they are about this encampment busl-
ness. They want the troops to come
here every year and they are, we feel
sure, ready to do their part in order
to secure the location of the pernla-
lent camp on our beach.
We fully believe hat we can get tie
permanent encampment if We will
take the proper steps to secure it. The
governor and his staff officers are de-
lighted with what we have done for
this encampment and they see the pos
sib1lities of the grounds being made
an ideal place for such purpose. In
making this statement we do not SPEAK
by authority for the governor Or Tor
any member of his staff, but we draw
our conclusions from the many remarks
they have let fall in our presence. They
cannot help showing that they are
greatly pleased with what has Deen
lone by the people of Wilmington III
this matter. They fully appreciate the
reception u people have given them
and realize the fact that the Whining
tonians have spared no pains to MAKE
their stay here pleasant to them, and
we want them to understand that this
is u usual way of entertaining our
guests and that We recognize the honor
and feel the responsibility of having
such distinguished guests among us.
We hope this will not be the last
governors review of state troops Gov
ernor Glenn will have on the Wrights-
vile grounds, and we assure him and
his staff that every time they come
here the Wilmington people will give
them just as hearty and warm a WEI
come.

practical Joke on a MInl.t,r.

Not few preachers would be glad
to be the victims cl such practical
joke as was recently played upon the
Rev. Mr.. Hagerman Of Oxford, Mich.
At the annual meeting of the church
Of which he is pastor the question OF
hiring a preacher comes up for dis
cussion.
At the last meeting of this society,
when the subject was brought up, a
good deacon arose and said: "All those
In favor oi retaining Brother Hage-
man for another year-at the same
salary-will please rise"
Not person rose, and the minister,
who was present, felt as uncomforta-
BILE as possible, and heartily wished
himself anywhere else. Then the good
deacon who had put the question arose
again and said, with twinkle Of the
eye! 81 see no one favors that mo-
ton, so will put It again in this way:
All those in favor Of keeping the Rev.
Mr.. Hageman at an increased salary
will please rise"
Everyone got upon his feet. Then
It dawned upon Mr.. Hageman thai be
had been the victim Of joke, and a
smile lighted his eyes and the color
returned to his cheeks. Some Of his
best friends had planned the surprise.
and the little scheme had worked to
perfection.-The Rams Horn.

What a Desert Waste Is.

The pupils OF a sixth grade in Bos-
ton school were taking an examination
in geography. One large girl, remark
able for her dullness, had been unable
to answer a single question until the
following was written upon the black
board;
What is a desert waste?"
After reading this she seized her
pen and wrote rapidly. Her teacher.
flled with curiosity, passed down the
aisle. and this is what she found upon
the girls paper:
"a desert waist is where no man
is."
