it will do and we know also that we are
running no risk of failure to relieve.
Read how grateful this sufferer is to
the Pyramid Pile Cure after undergoing
every torture with piles:
This Is to certify that / have used
three SOC boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure and
1t has benefited me more than any other
pile remedy I have ever used / had al
most lost all hope OF ever getting any
remedy that would help me until | tried

entirely cure me If continue their use,
which ! intend doing so long as / can

HOG KILLING TINE
AND SALT RUNS OUT
FACES PROSPECT
OF GOING THROUGH WINTER
SANS sPARERlBs. SANS BACK
BONE, SANS SAUSAGE.

Greensboro, December 31.-(Special)-
Greensboro is enduring a unique affliction
owing to the car shortage There is no
salt in town and none can he gotten. One
prominent merchant had a carload of salt
shipped from New Orleans the last of oc-
tober, but it has never turned up. In the
meantime all hog killing has necessarily
been postponed because of the lack of
salt wherewith to pack down the meat.
AT each successive cold wave the farm
ers crowd to town hoping to procure the
useful article, but in vain. The prospect
of going through a winter without spare
ribs, bacgbone and sausage, to say moth
ing of the hams and bacon, faces the COM
munity.
The matter has grown a little alarm
ing. The farmer has put up his hogs and
they are eating their heads off. having
long ago attained the requisite fairness.

At a conference of the officials of the

were announced and the officials of this
division were thanked by the head officers

James A. Bowdoin, a conductor on the

For Certificate Plan.
The interstate commerce commission has
issued a circular under date of Decem-
her p, calling the attention of the rail-
Dads and all associations to the fact that
special rate reductions for any eonven-
ton might hereafter be made on the GER
tifcate plan for any number of delegates
who desired to attend the sessions in any
body.
According to the. rule that has here
tofore been the custom, the railroads
would agree to issue tickets on the cer-
tifoate plan, provided certain number
OF delegates would promise to take adj
vantage of the special reduction offered.
By the present system, just made oper-
able by the interstate commerce commits
sion, any association might pledge itself
to pay the difference In the regular rates
and the reduced rates provided the speci-
fled number of delegates failed to attend
the convention.
The necessity of such a change was
made apparent because Of the fact that
1t is almost an imposslbility for the sec
rotary of any association to obtain all
the names of those desiring to be pres
emit Very often delegates themselves are
unable to state whether or not they can
attend, owing TO the nature of their work,
and quite frequently they arrive at the
place of the convention just in time to
fill place scheduled for them on the
programme and several hours before the
final adjournment. To avoid all complica-
lions in this respect, and to set at peace
the minds of the digent SECRETARIES, the
commerce commission has ruled.

To Fight the Bill.

1t is a safe guess that the proposition
to have separate department of immi-
grafton Is going to meet with strenuous
opposition at the capitol, and will have no
easy sailing to make the landing of law.
This opposition is going to come from
friends of the agricultural department
who think it would be taking away the
rights of the department In serving the
people. Chief Clerk Wilkinson said today
that he did not think it was right to
create such department and take away,
as he thinks 1t would. the prerogatives of
the department of Agriculture.
Judge Wilkinson went over the bill and
pointed out what he thought was weak
places and let 1t be known that he did
not like it and was not going to be back
ward about saying so. He said that he
thought the work outlined for the pro-
posed department should be done by the
agricultural office and that to take it
away would be depriving that section OF
the state government of a valuable arm
of service The commercial men of the
state are behind the bill to create a de-
partment of immigration adopting the
proposed bill at a meeting held here last
Saturday
1t is understood here that the adoption
of the law to create the department is
generally approved by the business men
of the state andt hat F. J. Thompson of
Huntsville Is regarded as one of the prob
able candidates for the commissioner
