The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that ther= is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is catarrh. Halls CstarIh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fra ernity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a com stitu,ioual treatment. Hal s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- iug it's work. The prcprietors have SO much, faith in it's curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

A Night in LittietGD.

The editor of THE oMhONwEATLH
spent Tuesday night of last week at
Littleton Female College in Littleton.
The occasion was the commencement
of Central Academy, which is under
the same management with Littleton
Female College.
Central Academy is an industrial
institution which gives good advan-
tages to boys who wish to prepare
for college and have not the money
to bear their expenses
Boys are taken into the school.
given the opportunity to divide their
time between study and work on the
farm. For what work they do they
are given credit in the school, which
makes it possible for them to take a
four years course with very little
money. Prof. ]. B. Aiken, the princi-
pal of the school, is doing a good
wrok for the boys and young men
Of that community, and the patron
age reaches to other communities.
After addresses in the forenoon
by Mr.. G.. H. Poe, of Raleigh, editor
of the Progressive Farmer, and Mr..
T. B. Parker, secretary of the Pro-
gressive Farmer Company, dinner
was served to large gathering, and
in the afternoon the writer made
some remarks on Prohibition as it
relates to the farmers.
We were ent ertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Rhodes, of Littleton Female
College, and every moment of the
time spent there was pleasant. Mr.,
Rhodes has been president of Little
ton Female College for a number OF
years and has succeeded in building
a great school with splendid equip
ments and most liberal patronage.
A large campus carpeted in green,
dotted all over with beautiful, spread
ing oaks, the natural growth, makes
it a most inviting place from the
outside.
The splendid equipments and ap
pointments on the inside-electrit
light plant, steam heating plant
we'll connected telephone system
from every part of every building
to the other buildings, the we'll furn
ished library, and other things
make it a most efficient institution.
The present year has been perhap
the best in it's history. There arr
about 25O girls enrolled with full
corps of we'll trained teachers, ant
every thing moves along with &C
curacy and precision. The patron
of the college have good cause to b
proud of their institution.

CslCred School Closed.

The colored graded school closed
Thursday night of last week. The

Quilted themselves well.
Thos. Shields, the principal of the
school, read reports, announcing en-
rolment, attendance, promotions and
the like; and made the statement
that this has been the best year OF
the school. The attendance has been
better and the work more satisfac-
tory.
A number of pupils were awarded
prizes for department and good at
tendance, and the prizes were pre-
scented by the editor of The COM
moNwEALTH at the request OF Prof.
C. W. Wilson, superintendent OF the
town schools, and Thos. Shields, th'
nrincipal of the colored school.
Thos. Shields has been reelected

Was it an Attempt to Burn?

Saturday morning when Mr.. W.
H. Josey entered his Office he found
that some one had taken a glass
lamp from the desk, and leftit light
ed under the desk. It seemed that
the wick had been turned up as high
as possible and had been left burn
ing. SCOT had almost covered pa
pers on the desks and the desk under
which the lamp was left was smoked
black, looking almost charred.
Mr.. Josey's door was left unlock
ed. and it looked like perhaps an at
tempt to burn the building.
If it was an attempt at burning
and had the attempt succeeded, in all
probability it would have destroyed
every building from Josey Hard

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamcd condition OF the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a ri IN
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, Fear
ing will be destroyed forever. NHt
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

A GREAT PROHIBITION ADDRESS.
Hrs. Curtis to a LpPge Audience.

It is something unusual for the
people of North Carolina to listen to
woman address q mixed audience
on any public occasion. Such an
occasion in Scotland Neck Wednes-
day night, May 18th. brought a
great gathering into the Baptist
church.
Mrs. Mamie Curtis, of Sherman,
Texas, was the speaker for the &C.
casion and State prohibition for
North Carolina was her subject.
Special music had been arranged
for the occasion, one of the pleasing
features being the song sweetly and
effectively rendered by Miss Rather
inc Futre!l-"I stood on the streets at
midnight"
The audience was led in prayer by
Rev. C. A. Jones, of the Methodist
church, and Mr.. Albion Dunn intro
duced Mrs. Curtis as the great
woman patriot who has come
from far-away Texas to help redeem
North Carolina from the curse Of
rum.
Mrs. Curtis is striking personal
ity in appearance, intellect and in
speech. She stood before the great
audinence with open Bible and COM
menced her address by reading
some appropriate passages concern
ing strong drink.
For an hour and a half she spoke
rapidly, fuently, eloquently, and eff
fectually against the liquor traffic
and the curse of strong drink and
for the benefits to be derived to a
State through prohibition.
! Forgetting the personality Of the
speaker, forgetting the environ
ments, and forgetting both the favor
and the prejudice concerning the
speaking of women in public. it is
hereby declared that Mrs. Curtis
address was the most powerful,
forceful and truthful arrignment of
the liquor traffic and the most COM
plete answer to objections to prohi-
bition the writer has ever heard OF
read.
The address was altogether mas.
terly, packed full of solid logic from
the first to the last sentence, and
! should have perfectly convinced any
and all who heard it that the liquor
: traffic has nothing commendable
but is altogether bad both in prin'
ciple and practice.
Mrs. Curtis is we'll posted on civic
and financial conditions of this coun
try and other countries, and at time:
gave graphic descriptions of the aw
full consequences of rum rule.
1t was indeed a great address, re
plete with power possessed by few
men or women, and its effect cannot
be otherwise than helpful. No at
tempt at reporting it would do il
justice.
Mrs. Curtis has been engaged il
temperance work for ten years ant
her time is fully engaged for three
years to come.
She was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs
| R. C. Josey while here, and she is a
charming socially as she is powerful
!, and convincing as public speaker.
