There was little change in the

strong feeling that it would not be

What is called "The Advisory

The gentlemen composing this board
met yesterday afternoon from S to
|6 O'Clock for consultation, over the
Alexander County National Bank,
and took under consideration the
various questions appertaining- to
1.-THE removal of the lid" and the re
firing of the armed forces now sod

to arrive at any other conclusion
than that the time is not ripe fol

General Dickson, "Tll tap the stear

f~NO PREVENT consumption, two
MI things are required: % the
O9 removal of the source Of con-
tagion; (2) the removal of the pre-
disposing cause. These can be &C
complished: % by collecting and
destroying the germs in the consump-
tive's spit, and ca by keeping the
body in good general health, SO that
it will be able to resist the germs.
The consumptive by careless spit
ting almost certainly will give the
disease to his family, friends or fell
low workmen. but If he carefully de-
stroys all his spit he is harmless. He
should preferably use paper napkins,
which can be burned Immediately.
They should not be carried loose In
the pocket after using. When
coughing or sneezing he should hold
one OF these before his mouth. II
the handkerchief is ever used for this
purpose, it should be Immediately
disinfected, by being placed either in
boiling water or in per cent solu-
ton Of carbolic acid.
He should spit into a pasteboard
sputum cup. which at the end of each
day can be burned. or into a vessel
which can be easily and completely
cleaned daily. The ordinary spittoon
is most difficult to clean, and should
never be used by consumptive.
When the consumptive is at work,
or riding on the street-car, or trav-
cling he should use a pocket sputum
cup or flask which can be kept tightly
closed until he can empty it at night.
Paper napkins and sputum CUPS
are cheap. You can learn where to
get them through your physician.

THE LYING SOUTHERN EDITOR


One of the severest tests of the in
genuity of the Southern editor is the
lying rendered necessary by every
case of lynching that occurs He
knows that he is depended upon to
present the thing in plausible man
ner for the benefit of the world at
large and to make it appear that the
crime committed was of such appall-
ing atlocity that the highly respecta-
BILE people who avenged it were en-
tirely justifiable, that the evidence
was completely satisfactory and that
the affair was conducted with dignity
and good taste.
BY diligent and frequent practice,
the Southern editor has became per-

sary lying in the finest kind of style.
