1t may be that the new theory Of
peilagra as caused by a biting gnat
will finally prevail, or that some
theory not yet pronounced will teie
it's place, but meanwhile the teaacity
of the corn theory is shown by the
Austrian governments action in en-
deavoring to stamp out the use Of
corn for human food. With this end
in view, six government steam bah-
cries making rye bread have recently
been established in the Tyrol region.
Strict prohibitions have been ISSUED
against any one selling food made
from corn meal unless its nature IS
disclosed. The Hungarian govern
ment has taken similar measures.
This is an extreme and doubtless Cn-
warranted course. We hope taat
corn will some day be conclusiveiy
acquitted. Meanwhile. however,
reasonable precautions against corn
cured off the stalk or otherwise pos
sibly infected are in order on the
part of both government and lndl-
viduaIs. Charlotte Observer.

SCOTLAND NECK, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1870

for united effort on the part of all
Democrats to roll up grand and
splendid majority in the coming
election, and declared that according
to President Taft's own estimate of
the Republican party in this State,
expressed in speech in Greensboro
two years ago has no suitable men
to hold positions Of trust in the ad-
ninistration of our State govern
ment.
By apt illustrations and fitting
anecdotes Mr.. Brooks effectively en-
phasized the great issues which he
discussed and in perfection of sur
passing eloquence closed his great
address amid loud and long applause
of his delighted audience.
Hon. Claude Kitchin being called
for said he would not make a speech
himself, but would present a young
man of splendid ability, and a true
Democrat who would make better
speech than he could. He presented
Mr.. Albion Dunn, of Greenville,
formerly of this place.
Mr.. Dunn was greeted with en-
thusastic applause by his many
friends and admirers among whom
he was reared, and with whom he
aas associated all his life until few
months ago. In strong and clear
speech he discussed Republican ini-
guilty and rapacity and told much of
the glorious record of Democracy.
At the close of Mr.. Dunn eloquent
address he was roundly applauded
and his home people felt proud of
him.
Hon. Claude Kitchin being again
called for, came forward and made
ringing and stirring speech. after
the usual manner in which he ably
discussed all political issues. Closing,
Mr.. Kitchin invited the great audi
ence to a most bountiful barbecue
which had been prepared in a near
by grove, and all partook to salts
faction of the splendid dinner which
had been so we'll prepared.
1t was a great and stirring occas-
ion and the days work will show
great results in the election next
week.

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem.
edy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is a diease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane
is, one may say, the interior lining of
the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and
nature fails to throw off the accumu-
lated poisons. The organ which has
been afflicted ceases to perform its
proper function as nature intended
it should. The result is complication
upon complication, which may lead
to other even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders towards over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from
the prescription of an eminent ply.
sician who made long study of ca
tarrh, and his great success with this
remedy was an enviable one.
We want you if you are sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial
Use it with regularity and persist
ency for reasonable time, then i
YOU are not satisfied, come back ant
tell US, and without question or for
malitv we will hand back to yo'
every cent you paid US. This is Ger
tainly the fairest offer that any on
could make and should attest ou
sincerity Of purpose. 1t comes II

What Width for Roads

Discussing the merits Of narrow
roads as compared with wide ones,
the Savannah News submits that if
wide roads are constructed they will
not be constructed because Of the
cost, and hence will soon dampen
good roads enthusiasm with expen-
sive repairs. ''The wiser plan" says
our contemporary truly, is to con-
struct roads that will be durable, and
if this plan is adopted it will compel
the building of narrow roads. If
we are to have in all of the countries
a system of good roads-if we want
the people to keep the roads in re-
pair when constructed-the narrow
road will have to be adopted. The
only objection to it is that accidents
due to frightened horses are more
likely to occur on narrow than on
wide roads. There is some truth iE
that contention, but automobiles are
becoming so common that it will be
but short time before horses will
not be alarmed by them.'
Experience at home and observa-
ton in the good roads countries OF
Europe have combined to produce a
general conviction that most Amesi-
can roads are too wide. Narrower
roads would be better constructed
and more serviceable in every way.
AS Mecklenburg county learned long
ago, the macadam strip should not
exceed buggy width, with a dirt road
running alongside. In bad weather
all travel is upon the macadam ano
the dirt road is thus saved from
use or any other form Of destruc
tive wear. In good weather trave
is very largely upon the dirt road
which, easier for beast, vehicle anc
man. not only serves this excellen
n,,rnose but saves the macadam un
necessary wear. The width furnish
81 bv the two roads together is suffi
cient for convenient passing and to
the frightened horses, which Th'
News has in mind. More width thai
this cometh simply of waste. 1t ha
been shown that not only is durablli
tv thereby sacrificed, but that man
thousands of acres are needless
subtracted from American 1arms.-

CABBAGE WORM NOT POISONOUS.
Examination by State EntCmO'OgtSt OF
Specimen From Wilmington.

Recently cabbage snake" was
found in a cabbage head at the home
Of Mr. N. Humphrey, corner Fourth
and Walnut streets, and he sent the
specimen to Raleigh to be examined,
report of which was received yester-
day fl ON Mr.. Franklin Sherman, Jr.,
State Entomologist, which was as
follows:
Upon examination | find that
this creature is commonly known as
a cabbage snake 1t is truly kind
Of worm and not snake and al
though many examinations have
been made Of this creature both by
chemists and biologists, no evidence
of any form Of poison has ever been
found. The creature is quite often
found in heads of cabbage and is
sometimes found IN the core of ap-
piles usually, we believe, in apples
which have already been injured by
the common apple worm or codling
moth and which have fallen to the
ground). This species, or at least
a worm very much like it, is some
times found living in the bodies of
grassht ppers, crickets and some
other insects. Just how it gets into
all the situations in which it is found
is not always easy to understand,
but it is perhaps carried by the in
sects which it attacks (grass-hop-
pers, crickets, etc. and left in some
of these situations. Although there
has been a great deal written con-
cerning this so-called cabbage snake.
it is, so far as we know, perfectly
harmless to man and there is no oc-
casion for abandoning the use of
cabbage as a table vegetable. 1t is,
of course worth while to wash all
such vegetables thoroughly before
cooking. Winning Star.

Wednesday, End inst, was Demo-

for four townships-Scotland Neck,
Conoconara, Roseneath and Palmyra.
A thousand people gathered from all
parts of this community to hear
Democratic doctrine boldly and ably
proclaimed by that masterful stump
speaker, Hon. A. L. Brooks. of
Greensboro. Numerous flags and
appropriate decorations graced the
speakers stand, around which gath
cred great number of ladies, host
of Halifax county's sturdy Demo
Gratis and regiment Of school chill
dren, three hundred strong, to hear
party issues discussed.
At II o'clock, Hon. Claude Kitch-
in, the able and popular Representa-
tive in Congress from the Second
district, called the meeting to order
and announced that the speaker of
the day would be introduced by Mr.

and appropriate remarks, Mr.. Dunn
gracefully introduced the speaker,
paying high tribute to his splendid
type of pure Democracy, his able
and unselfsh service to the State
and the good results Of his patriotic

many Of the things which the Demo-

a score of years are now acknoWl-
edged by leading Republicans to be
the safeguards to our national pros
perity. He discussed national issues
with q clearness which interested
and en.ightened all who heard him,
showing particularly the unfairness
and imposition of high tariff and
how it imposes into!erable burdens
upon the American people and show
ING conclusively how the people car

The political policies advocated and
maintained by the Democratic party.
Turning from national affairs to
