Which is Rapidly Becoming

AAI1AAN@s
Washington Dissatch, 21st.
AS the buffalo vanishes from
the great Western plains, so is
the red man gradually disappear
ing through the ravages of tub
erculosis.
To save the Indian race from
extinction by this dread disease
and yet lead it into the ways of
the white man, is the great task
which officials of the bureau of
Indian affairs has undertaken.
There will be a concerted effort
on the part of all connected with
the Indian service for the remov-
| al of the causes of tuberculosis,
for education in the measure of
prevention and for systematizing
the care and segregation of
patients afflicted with this dis
ease.
About a quarter of a century
ago when the white man under.
took to civilize the Indian, tuber'
culosis was an almost unknown
disease among that race. Gradual
ly the disease made it's appear
ance until to-day the Indians are
dying off at the rate of approx
mately a thousand per annum
None seem to be so susceptible
to the onslaughts of tuberculosi
as the Sioux Indians in Soutl
Dakota. Only last year nearl
one thousand members of thi
: tribe were afflicted with the dis
) ease.

IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENTS.
Senators Simmons and Over
man Given Places on Impor-
tant Congressional Commit

tees.
Washington Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Both Senators Overman and
Simmons were fortunate in the
new committee assignments in
the Senate. The former is
placed on the conservation of
national resources committee,
which is a new one, and will
prove important. Senator Sim
mons has been assigned to the
finance committee to fill the
place made vacant by the re-
tirement of Senator Teller on
March 4th. The matters refer
red to this committee are those
coming under the head of reve-
nue. and taxation, finance, cur
rency and banking. 1t is ex-
pected that his committee will
begin at once a consideration of
the new tariff bill. Senator AL
drich is chairman. The Demo
Gratis, besides Mr.. Simmons, who
will serve on it, are Messrs.
Daniel, Bailey, Money and Talia-
ferro. 1t is said that this is the
biggest committee on which the
late Senator Vance served and it
is conceded to be the most i'm
portant in the Senate.
Besides serving on the finance
committee, Senator Simmons,
will be on the Democratic steer
ing committee, the committee on
the disposition of public docu-
ments, of which he is chairman,
and the commerce committee,
the latter having charge of all
matters pertaining to rivers and
harbors and being, it is said, the
highest on which Senator M. W.
Ransom did service. By virtue
of his craftsmanship of the com.
mittee on disposition of public
documents, the Senator will have
in addition to his offices in the
new Senate building, rooms ir
the Capitol which were occupied
by the late Senator Morgan dur
ing his service on the committee
on inter-oceanic canals.
The work Of Senator Simmons
during the next few months will
be on the finance committee an(
the national waterways com
mission. After examining th'
typical rivers and waterways il
this country, Immediately afte
adjournment, the committee will
doubtless spend the remainde
J Of it's vacation in Europe. Sen
ator Simmons is endeavoring t
arrange for one of the SUBJ com
: mitteess of this commission t
t visit Wilmington and go throug
the sounds Of North Carolin
some time in April.

CONGRESSMAN GODWIN'S
WORK.
Important Matters Affecting
the Sixth District.

LII MOIludy ROUeSOnldn was a
news item in regard to a star
route from Buies' Creek to Lii
lington, an order for which Con-
gressman H. L. Goodwin has
secured from the Second Assist
ant Postmaster General. Re-
preventative Goodwin has also
secured IN order from the Coast
and Geodetic Survey of the De-
partment of Commerce and La
Dor providing for the testing of
the meridian line at Fayetteville.
The testing line will be establish
ed by the erection Of two stones
at the north and south end of the
meridian line. The Department
has promised to send magnetic
observer to Fayetteville, who is
now on field work in Tennessee,
to establish and test the meridian
line. Mr.. Goodwin is also making
arrangements with the Geologi-
cal Survey to establish a perma-
nent bench mark at Fayetteville
to determine the height above
the sea level at that place.
Another very important matter
affecting the sixth district is the
recent success Mr.. Goodwin has
achieved in securing the promise
by the Agricultural Department
to undertake the examination and
surveys looking to the construc-
ton of the dams or levees on the
Cape Fear river at Kelly's Cove
in Bladen county to prevent the
escape of water from the river
during freshets which flood
French's Creek township,
damaging some of the most fer
tile lands in the district.
1t will be remembered that dur
ing the abnormal freshet last
August the water escaped from
the banks of the Cape Fear river
and completely overfowed a large
area of fertile land in Bladen
and Pender counties, completely
destroying crops and rendering
many citizens destitute, and
quite a number homeless. Mr..
Goodwin Immediately made an eff
fort before the War Depart
ment for funds to be used
in constructing levees along
the river at that point, but
was informed that no funds
were available at that time. He
then introduced a bill in Con.
gress providing for an approria-
tion of 100000 for the con-
struction Of these levees; the bill
went to the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, where it now re.
mains because that committee
) did not report any bill during
last session except the bill fol
t surveys. He did not cease ir
his efforts for that section of his
! !! district, and finally succeeded ir
| getting a promise from the Ag
ricultural Department to send az
expert engineer to that point il
in his district to make full ant
complete examination with &
view to building the levees ant
draining the swamp lands il
that section. Mr.. Goodwin is
: deeply gratified at the result:
of his efforts, and no doubt tn,
news of his success will be re
ceived with a great deal of in
taract

Advocates of North Robson
Organizing Karl Jansen
to be at Antioch Other Items
Correspondence of The Robesonian

April 24th is the day set apart
for the North Robeson Barbacue
The advocates of the proposed
new county are organizing for
two years hence.
1t is an indisputable fact that
the people of upper Robeson do
need relief, but there are some
who think that a railroad or troll
ley line would be a better solu-
ton of the oft-discussed problem.
1t is a fact that we have the ban
ner county of North Carolina and
II the upper end could be reliev-
ed, given better facilities for
transportation, the problem would
be solved. 1t is a hardship to be
forced on a cold morning to drive
forty to fifty miles to attend
court. If those who oppose a
division of Robson would offer
some other equitable relief the
matter would be settled and nc
more would we hear clamor for
division. That Senator D. P.
Shaw did justice to all parties,
both pro and con, cannot be dis.
puted. We have known him
since his boyhood days and are
willing to commit any interest
into his hands, be it public OF
private.

Mr.. Karl Jansen, the noted hu.
morist and impersonator, will

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the. ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
aud this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
er; nine cases cut of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiam'
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by HAIL.

CONVICTION OF THE COOP.
ERS.
Tennessee Has Done Better
Than New York.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
The best thing that has hap
pened for the South and for the
United States in many long day
is the conviction of Duncan j.
Cooper, of murder in the second
degree, for the killing of ex-
Senator Edward W. Carmack, of
Tennessee. A Northern news
paper some time since, comment
ing on this trial, said that it was
mighty rare occurrence for a
white man to be punished for
murder in the South" The criti-
cism was true, with a suggestion
of the false, in that it was ap-
piled only to the South. 1t is a
rare thing'for a white man oc-
cupying the same relative posi-
tion as the Coopers to be hanged
or fittingly punished for murder
in the North. A common garroter
or thug or a burglar is likely to
be hanged for murder anywhere
in the United States, but the
criminal administration and pub
lie opinion are both so lax and
inefficient that if passion or poll
tics enters into the case, or if
immense wealth be at command,
the jury trial, as in the Thaw
case, is usually turned into a
farce. The courtroom becomes
a ghastly spectacle for a travesty
upon justice, the experts and
neurologists make a mock OF the
State, the jury becomes hopeless
ly befogged and the culprit es-
capes.
Tennessee is to be congratulate
ed. 1t has done better than New
York. It has won a triumph un-
der circumstances calculated tc
balk justice in any jurisdiction.
It's ignorant jury. chosen under
ridiculous limitations imposed by
the State law, has given a judg.
ment with a much truer sense OF
justice and reason than if they
had been a collection Of amateur
psychologists.
The condition exhibited ir
statistical form is appalling. Life
is cheaper in the United States
than in any alleged civilized
country, with the exception o,
certain parts of lower Italy, noteC
for their criminals, and one o.
two places in Spain. If the mum
Der of murders and homicides il
the United States be considered
in comparison with the record O
England it will be perceived tina
we are in the Middle Ages. Whel
there is a miscarriage of justic,
in San Domingo or Haiti we dis
miss it With a sneer, but there i
| no civilized country in which lif
is so cheap as it is in the grea
republic. The result of the Car
mack trial is both amazing an,
just, and, it is to be hoped, wi
have a salutary effect upon tn
South and the country.
