Without Authority
No Foundation In Fact For RHm0red
CHANGES In Southern Foree

Washington, Jan. 16-Mr. G. H.
Ackert. Vice-President and General
Manager of the Southern Railway Com
pany, referring today to the persistent
publication of reports Got impending
changes in the operating department.
of that company, said:
"There is no foundation, whatever,
for any Of these publications. The
varions reports and rumors that have
been in circulation and have found
their way into the newspapers have
come from sources without informa-
ton as to the plans and purposes OF
the management OF the company. No
such changes as have been reported
are contemplated. On the contrary,
the present personnel and organization
Of the operating department are highly
satisfactory to the management, and
we doubt whether there exist in the Or
ganization Of any railway company in
the country more efficient and loyal
teamwork than the Southern Railway
Company now has in its operating
department..

"THE CAT AND THE FlDDLE.,,

"The Cat and the Fiddle one of
the latest musical extravaganzas will
be the attraction at the Messenger
Opera House next Friday night. AS
the title indicates the play tells a
wonder story, the doings Of the peo-
pie of the mystical Isle Of Eye, in co =
nection with some of our own earth
beings. The motif in brief is this. in
the far away mythical Isle of Eye
Great Gobs and Queen Circle rule,
their reign to be as long as the Eye
is kept open, and which closes but
once in a hundred years, when a sac
rifice in the guise of maiden marked
with strawberry on her left arm
must be offered to appease the mighzy
optic, and continue the reign. Gobs
and Circe having dethroned the right
full ruler, the Genii and her Gigantic
Cat are in search of the sacrifice, and
we find her in America, spiriting her
and her friends away to make a cruise
on the wonderful ship "Dianna". They
sail away and finally come within the
wishing rays Of the wonderful Eye
Great Gobs sinks the ship and all are
washed onto the Isle. Here they are
about triumph and offer the maid
en- Polly as the sacrifice when the
Genii and Cat appear, having been re-
leased from their prison by one Hap
py," child of fortune, and the plot
is foiled. Finally Polly and her friends
are rescued by an air ship, the Genii
and Cat placed in command of the
Isle and all ends WELL
AS can readily be seen story as
mythical as this will permit of gor-
geous scienic illusions, transforma-
ton, pretty ballet evolutions, sweet
which are promised.
A company of forty people headed
by Chas. A. Sellon and the Ell More
Sisters are said to form the cast.

A Positive Cure
For Indigestion

If you have Indigestion, your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels.
1t does more: it decays, and the nu-
tritious matter which should go to
make new blood decays with it. and
this leads to an condition
OF the blood, to nervousness, bilious
ness, constipation, sick headache, bad
breath which disgusts your friends,
and other disagreeable and unpleasant
conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and ottimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix
the food with the digestive juices.
MI-O-NA is responsible for tens of
thousands of cures. In fact, it is such
a positive cure for Indigestion and all
stomach troubles that it is guaranteed
by J. II. Hill & Son to cure or money
back. The price Of large box Of Mi
o-na tablets is so cents, and they are
sure to promptly relieve the worst case
Of indigestion or gastritis. Try them.

Timely Warning.

EDITOR ARGUs:-
The undersigned wishes to call the
public's attention tosgwhat appears to
him constant danger which from all
appearances has been permitted to
exist for years.
AS one strolls down East Walnut
street, just after Epassing Williams
street, he is confronted with spec
tacle in the nature of an aoverhanging
course at angles ranging anywhere
from ten to forty five degrees in either
direction.
Whilst this is instantly noticed by
the stranger the. residents. through
custom cease to give it attention.
1t is the purpose of this article to direct
and focus the building inspector S
eye upon this constantly looming dam
ger, and that its quick removal will
follow. Like manyl Iother public
dangers, it would be hard to conceive
the object of this fence, mounted as it
is upon head high wall.
Hawever, it detracts seriously from
the neat, trim and thrifty appearance
SO evident elsewhere in Goldsboro,
and besides being blot and xeye-sore
in this respect, it may at some time
prove embarrassing to the city's Ex-
checquer, an instance of thea ind be-
ing still fresh in the writer's mind
where the city treasurer of Norfolk
Va, not long since, handed a SORROW
ing widow check for ten thousand
dollars as a soothing balm for having
killed her husband through their
negligence in permitting a brick wall
to fall on him.
To illustrate the gross negligence on
the part of the city in the case just
cited, it was brought out in the testi-
mony that the wall had the appear
ance as though it had been thinking
about topling over for nearly fifty
years.

AND THERE YOU ARE.

The acquittal of Thornton Fl aims fol
lowing the acquittal of Thaw stands in
strong contrast with the conviction OF
eight fishermen at Reelfoot lake.
Hams plainly assisted in the killing of
William E. Annis, and Thaw confess
edly killed Architect White. Both had
influence to aid them at their trials and
one at least had wealth and probably
both. The men at Reeltoot lake were
poor and humble fishermen. Those
who had wealth and influence behind
them were acquitted, while those who
had neither were convicted.
1t may be said that Tennessee and
may be said that what takes place in
the one could not possibly be dupli-
Gated in the other. Before this is as
sumed to be the truth it would be pru-
dent to await an approaching trial in
Tennessee in which influence and even
wealth will play no inconsiderable
part.
AS a matter of fact, all the States are
pretty much alike in this matter. There
is in all one law for the hum BILE, and
another law for the rich and infiuen-
tial. It is not so in England. The let
ter of the law is not SO much at fault.
Whatever faults it has are impartially
distributed. The trouble lies in the
application or Interpretation OF the
law chiefly in the petit Jury room. In
other words, public sentiment works
in q discriminating manner in this
country, whereas it does not do so in
the motherland. Reform, in 9th. r
words, must come through education
and moral uplitt that will render
American petit iuries as impa rtial, just
and law abiding as English jurors con-
fessedly are.
